Investment in associated companies is accounted for using the equity method. Under this method the investments are stated at cost plus the Company’s share in undistributed earnings and losses after acquisition, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to statement of profit or loss where applicable. The Company’s share of post-acquisition profit is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with the corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying amount and recognises the amount adjacent to share of profit/ (loss) of associates in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 5.3 Dividend and revenue reserves appropriation Dividend and movement in revenue reserves are recognised in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which these are approved. 5.4 Employee retirement benefits The main features of the retirement benefit schemes operated by the Group for its employees are as follows: i) Defined benefit plans The Group operates approved pension fund for its management staff and approved gratuity fund for its management and non-management staff.
