2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES #CONTINUED$ #A$ BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION #CONTINUED$ (v) Associate An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Investment in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest including any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. The financial statements of the associate are prepared as of a di!erent reporting date from that of the Group. The share of results of an associate refers to Cocoaland Holdings Berhad and is derived from the sum total of its unaudited quarterly results recognised by the Group for the four quarters ended 30 June 2021. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the associate in line with those of the Group. When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The di!erence between the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss. When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. Investment in an associate is measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. (vi) Joint venture A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investment in a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses of a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in a joint venture, the carrying amount of that interest including any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the joint venture in line with those of the Group. 178 NOTES TO THE F INANCIAL STATEMENTS
