CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust - Annual Report 2023

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2023 3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3.1 Basis of consolidation (continued) Investments in joint ventures (equity-accounted investees) A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its investment in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Joint operations A joint operation is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control whereby the Group has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to an arrangement. The Group accounts for each of its assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share of those held or incurred jointly, in relation to the joint operation. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Subsidiaries and joint ventures in the separate financial statements Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are stated in the Trust’s Statement of Financial Position at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 3.2 Plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. If significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Total Return. 192 CAPITALAND INTEGRATED COMMERCIAL TRUST
