( c ) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are those corporations, partnerships or other entities ( including specialpurpose entities ) in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financialand operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable orconvertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls anotherentity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting.
Under the purchase method of accounting, subsidiaries are fully consolidated fromthe date on which control is transferred to the Group and are de - consolidated fromthe date that control ceases. The cost of an acquisition is measured as fair valueof the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumedat the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Minority interest represent that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable to equity interests that are not owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the parent. It is measured at the minorities' share of thefair value of the subsidiaries' identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisitiondate and the minorities' share of changes in the subsidiaries's equity since that date.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions betweenGroup companies are eliminated, Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies ofsubsidiaries have been changed where neccessary to ensure consistency with thepolicies adopted by the Group.

( d ) Property, plant and equipment and depreciationProperty, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and less any impairment losses.

Rate (%)
Office equipment 20
Furniture and fittings 20
Computer equipment and software 20
Renovation 20
( e ) Impairment of assetsThe carrying amount of the Group's assets, other than assets arising from inventories and financial assets ( other than investments in subsidiaries and associates ) are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverableamount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash - generating unit to which it belongs exceeds itsrecoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's net selling price and its value in use. In assesing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discountedto their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. For an assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverableamount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amountdoes not exceed the carrying amount that would have determined, net of depreciationor amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. The reversed is recognised in the income statement.
