Yinson Annual Report 2019

Yinson Holdings Berhad ANNUAL REPORT 2019 142 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.23 Employee benefits (a) Short term employee benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (b) Defined contribution plans The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company have no further financial obligations. (c) Share-based payment TheGroup operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan (“Employee Share Scheme” or “ESS”) under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity options over ordinary shares of the Company. The fair value of the options granted in exchange for the services of the employees are recognised as employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase to share option reserve within equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted: - excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and - including the impact of any non-vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to share option reserve in equity. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital when the options are exercised. When options are not exercised and lapsed, the share option reserve is transferred to retained earnings. In its separate financial statements of the Company, the grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiaries in the Group is treated as amounts owing by subsidiaries. The fair value of options granted to employees of the subsidiaries in exchange for the services of the employees to the subsidiaries are recognised as amounts owing by subsidiaries, with a corresponding credit to equity of the Company. 2.24 Transactions with non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group and are presented separately in profit or loss of the Group and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from owners of the Group. Transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for using the entity concept method, whereby, transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners. On acquisition of non-controlling interests, the difference between the consideration and carrying amount of the share of the net assets acquired is recognised directly in equity. Gain or loss on disposal to non-controlling interests is recognised directly in equity. For the financial year ended 31 January 2019 Notes to the financial statements (cont’d)
