Joint operations
In respect of its interest in joint operations, the group recognises in its financial statements
its share of the assets jointly held, classified according to the nature of the assets, any
liabilities that it has incurred, its share of any liabilities incurred jointly with the other joint
operators in relation to the joint operation, any income from the sale or use of its share of
the output of the joint operation, together with its share of any expenses incurred by the
joint operation and any expenses that it has incurred in respect of its interest in the joint
operation.
When the group acquires an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint
operation constitutes a business, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs
are recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the group increases its interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint
operation constitutes a business, by acquiring an additional interest in the joint operation,
the group’s previously held interests in the joint operation are not remeasured if the joint
operator retains joint control. |
The group has entered into agreements with several other companies to construct high-capacity
