NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 181 Financial Statements 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.) 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. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the MFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its joint operation are recognised in the Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the joint operation. (d) Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is instead reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity sold.
