Business Overview and Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements Enclosure

Central Retail Corporation Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2021

4 Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which
control ceases.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities, any related
non-controlling interests and other components of equity of the subsidiary. Any resulting gain or loss is
recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when
control is lost.

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control,
over the financial and operating policies. 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.

The Group recognised investments in associates and joint ventures using the equity method in the
consolidated financial statements. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements
income and share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees,
until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates
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.

Business combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method when the Group assess that the acquired set of activities and
assets include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute
to the ability to create output. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the
Group, other than business combinations with entities under common control. Expenses in connection
with a business combination are recognised as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognised amount
of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. Any gain on bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Consideration transferred includes assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous
owners of the acquiree, any contingent consideration and equity interests issued by the Group.

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, and remeasured at fair
value at each reporting date. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
