NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (CONT’D) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.25 JOINT ARRANGEMENT (CONT’D) Joint Ventures (Cont’d) The investment in a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method, based on the financial statements of the joint venture made up to 31 March 2023. The Group’s share of the post acquisition profits and other comprehensive income of the joint venture is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, after adjustment if any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that joint control commences up to the effective date when the investment ceases to be a joint venture or when the investment is classified as held for sale. The Group’s investment in the joint venture is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus the Group’s share of the post acquisition retained profits and reserves. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in a joint venture, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation. The interest in the joint venture is the carrying amount of the investment in the joint venture determined using the equity method together with any longterm interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be a joint venture or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as the initial carrying amount of the financial asset in accordance with MFRS 9. Furthermore, the Group also reclassifies its share of the gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income of that joint venture to profit or loss when the equity method is discontinued. However, the Group will continue to use the equity method when an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. Under such change in ownership interest, the retained investment is not remeasured to fair value but a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income of the joint venture will be reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. All dilution gains or losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognised in profit or loss. INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 MATRIX CONCEPTS HOLDINGS BERHAD 172 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
