          For the year ended 31 December 2011
        
        
          Effective for annual
        
        
          periods beginning
        
        
          on or after
        
        
          Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective and not early adopted

          1 January 2015
        
        
          (or otherwise
        
        
          when IFRS 9 is first
        
        
          applied)
        
        
          • Amendments to IAS 1 –
        
        
          
            Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
          
        
        
          . The
        
        
          amendments retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive
        
        
          income in either a single statement or in two separate statements. However, items
        
        
          of other comprehensive income are required to be grouped into those that will
        
        
          and will not subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss with tax on items of other
        
        
          comprehensive income required to be allocated on the same basis.
        
        
          • Amendments to IAS 12
        
        
          
            Income Taxes
          
        
        
          provide an exception to the general principles
        
        
          of IAS 12 for investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS
        
        
          40 Investment Property by the introduction of a rebuttable presumption that the
        
        
          carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered entirely through
        
        
          sale.
        
        
          • Amendments to IAS 19
        
        
          
            Employee Benefits
          
        
        
          eliminate the “corridor approach” and
        
        
          therefore require an entity to recognize changes in defined benefit plan obligations
        
        
          and plan assets when they occur.
        
        
          • Amendments to IFRS 7
        
        
          
            Financial Instruments
          
        
        
          : Disclosures enhancing disclosures
        
        
          about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
        
        
          • Amendments to IAS 32
        
        
          
            Financial Instruments: Presentation
          
        
        
          relating to application
        
        
          guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
        
        
          • Amendments to IFRS 7
        
        
          
            Financial Instruments: Disclosures
          
        
        
          relating to disclosures
        
        
          about the initial application of IFRS 9
        
        
          The directors anticipate that IFRS 9, IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IFRS 13, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011), IAS 28 (as revised in
        
        
          2011) will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. The
        
        
          application of these standards may have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
        
        
          and result in more extensive disclosures in the financial statements. However, the directors have not yet performed a
        
        
          detailed analysis of the impact of the application of these Standards and hence have not yet quantified the extent of the
        
        
          impact.
