2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.3 Business combinations and goodwill (continued) When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. When the Group acquires a contract in a business combination, it assesses whether the contract is favourable or unfavourable by comparing the terms to market prices at the time of acquisition. Refer to Note 2.31 for the accounting policy on favourable and unfavourable contracts. If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at the acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate MFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. 2.4 Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (a) Subsidiaries In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amount is included in profit or loss. The amount due from subsidiaries of which the Company does not expect repayment in the foreseeable future are considered as part of the Company’s investments in subsidiaries. However, if the subsidiaries have the intention to repay or when the Company receives the actual proceeds from the net investment, then the net investment can be re-designated to intercompany loans.
