AL-MAZAYA HOLDING COMPANY - K.S.C. (PUBLIC) AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 (All amounts are in Kuwaiti Dinars) 24 Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. l) End of service indemnity: Provision is made for amounts payable to employees under the Kuwaiti Labor Law in the private sector, employees' contracts and the applicable labor laws in the countries where the subsidiaries operate. This liability, which is unfunded, represents the amount payable to each employee as a result of involuntary termination at the end of the reporting period, and approximates the present value of the final obligation. m) Share capital: Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. n) Share premium: This represents cash received in excess of the par value of the shares issued. The share premium is not available for distribution except in cases stipulated by law. o) Treasury shares: Treasury shares consist of the Parent Company’s own shares that have been issued, subsequently reacquired by the Group and not yet reissued or cancelled. The treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method. Under the cost method, the weighted average cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account. When the treasury shares are reissued, gains are credited to a separate account in shareholders’ equity (treasury shares reserve) which is not distributable. Any realized losses are charged to the same account to the extent of the credit balance on that account. Any excess losses are charged to retained earnings, reserves, and then share premium respectively. Gains realized subsequently on the sale of treasury shares are first used to offset any recorded losses in the order of share premium, reserves, retained earnings and the treasury shares reserve account. No cash dividends are paid on these shares. The issue of bonus shares increases the number of treasury shares proportionately and reduces the average cost per share without affecting the total cost of treasury shares. Where any Group's company purchases the Parent Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Parent Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Parent Company’s shareholders. p) Other reserve: Other reserve is used to record the effect of changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries, without loss of control. q) Share-based payment transaction: The Group operates an equity-based payment plan to its employees. Under the terms of the plan, shares are granted to permanent employees. The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value of the shares is measured based on market prices available taking into account the terms and conditions upon which those shares were granted.
