MKH Annual Report 2017

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (c) Investment in Associates (continued) When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. When a group entity transacts with its associate of the Group, profits or losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate that are not related to the Group. (d) Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the Group entities’ functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the Group entities’ functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the reporting date except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on the translation of monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation. These are initially taken directly to the translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations are recognised in profit or loss in the Company’s separate financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity. (ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (RM) of the consolidated financial statements are translated into RM as follows: (i) assets and liabilities for each reporting date presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the reporting date; (ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and (iii) all resulting exchange differences are taken to other comprehensive income.
