1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
t Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date
on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operation policies of
an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential
voting rights that currently are exercisable.
u Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee
are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the
lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
