OTHER RESERVES (CONT’D.) (b) Statutory reserve In accordance with the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) Commercial Companies Law, 10% of profit for each year from a Limited Liability Company incorporated in the UAE is transferred to a legal reserve until such time as the reserve equalled 50% of the paid-up capital. Faber L.L.C. (“FLLC”) has resolved to discontinue such annual transfers since the reserve has equalled to 50% of its share capital. This reserve is not available for distribution except as stipulated by UAE law. (c) Foreign currency translation reserve The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currencies are different from that of the Group’s presentation currency. It is also used to record the exchange differences arising from monetary items which form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, where the monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation. (d) Other reserve Other reserve arose from the redemption of redeemable preference shares in prior years by a subsidiary. 36. RETAINED EARNINGS The Company may distribute dividends out of its entire retained earnings under the single tier system. 37. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES The Group has lease contracts for leasehold land, office premises and motor vehicles used in its operations. Leases of premises generally have lease terms between 2 and 15 years, while motor vehicles have lease terms between 2 to 3 years. The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Group’s business needs. Management exercises judgement in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Group also has leases with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.
