154 REDISCOVER | REBUILD | SUSTAIN Notes to the financial statements - 31 December 2015 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (c) Joint arrangements (cont’d.) (i) Joint ventures (cont’d.) Goodwill relating to a joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the joint venture’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the joint venture’s profit or loss in the year in which the investment is acquired. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. The most recent available audited financial statements of the joint ventures are used by the Group in applying the equity method. Where the dates of the audited financial statements used are not coterminous with those of the Group, the share of results is arrived at from the last audited financial statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting year. Uniform accounting policies are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. On disposal of joint ventures, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the income statement. In the Corporation’s separate financial statements, investments in joint ventures are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the income statement. (ii) Joint operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: (i) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; (ii) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; (iii) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; (iv) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and (v) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
