Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(vii) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary
not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the
consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity,
separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in
the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the
year between non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling
interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
(viii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted associates and joint ventures are
eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised
losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no
evidence of impairment.

exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a
net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are
