4.13. Foreign currency translation
4.16. Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Saudi Riyal at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of income are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to consolidated statement of profit or loss. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. The Company and its subsidiaries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are subject to regulations issued by the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (“GAZT”) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is subject to interpretations. Zakat is levied at a fixed rate of 2.5% on the higher of adjusted Zakat profit or based on Zakat base. The management establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the GAZT and yearically evaluates positions taken in the Zakat returns with respect to any Zakat differences. Zakat is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Additional Zakat liability, if any, related to prior years’ assessments arising from GAZT are accounted for in the year in which the final assessments are finalized. For subsidiaries outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, income tax is provided for in accordance with the regulations applicable in the respective countries and is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Provision is made for withholding tax on payments to non-resident parties and is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Moreover, certain shareholders in the Group are subject to income tax, which is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in Consolidated Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference and unused tax losses arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint venture, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 4.14. Zakat and Taxes
The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale trans- action rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and zakat expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indi- cate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sale will be withdrawn. Management is committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification. Property and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale. The Group recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to the shareholders when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the companies regulations of Saudi Arabia, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders or when dividends are approved by the Board of Directors. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity. Group sets the assumptions used in determining the key elements of the costs of meeting such future obligations. These assumptions are set after consultation with the Group’s actuaries and include those used to determine regular service costs and the financing elements related to the liabilities. The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. 1. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of the past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 3. Defined benefit plans Provision is made for amounts payable to employees under the Saudi Labour Law and employee contracts. This liability, which is unfunded, represents the amount payable to each employee on a going concern basis. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method as amended by IAS 19. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, excluding amounts included in net interest on the defined benefit liability (excluding amounts included in interest on the defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the statement of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the year in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent years. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of: • The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and • The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the defined benefit liability. The Company recognises the following changes in the defined benefit obligation under ‘cost of sales’, and ‘general and administration expenses’ in the income statement: • Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements • interest expense or income • Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. • Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment in the reporting period at the CGU level, as appropriate and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. 4.17. Non-current assets held for sale 4.18. Cash dividends to shareholders 4.19. Employees’ end of service benefits profit and loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset, except for a property previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to OCI. In this case, the impairment is also recognized in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets: • Goodwill is tested for impairment in the reporting period and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
4.15. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial year of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of finance and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
4.16. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of
