Control is cstablishcd whcn the Association has the powcr to govcrn the operating and fina￿la1 policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits fiDm its activities. Jn assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. A joint venture is a contractual arrangem¢nt undertaking in which the Group exercise joint control over the operating and financial policies of the entity. Where the joint venture is catTied out through an entity, it is treated a8 a jointly controlled entity.

An impainnent loss in respect of a fmancial asset measured at amorti8ed cost is calculated as the difference between its c￿ryng amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective int¢r¢st rats. For financial instruments measured at cost less impairnient, an impairment is calculated as th¢ difference between its carrying amount and the best e8tiniate of the amount that the Group would receive for the ass& if it were to be sold at the reporting dat¢. Int¢rest on the impaired asset contillu¢s to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. Impairment loss¢s ar¢ recognIs￿ in Income and Expenditure A¢count.
