Annual Report 2025 155 When acquisition of an asset or a group of assets does not constitute a business combination, it is treated as property acquisition. In such cases, the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised. The acquisition cost shall be allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill. (iv) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group or the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group. The CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group and the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group control an entity when they are exposed to, or have rights to, variable returns from their involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group and the Stapled Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the interests of the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group or the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners and therefore no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Total Return. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group and the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group derecognise the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising from the loss of control is recognised in the Statement of Total Return. If the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group and the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group retain any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. (v) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group and the Stapled Group. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 3.2 Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group, and the Stapled Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (the “functional currency”). 3 Material Accounting Policies (continued) 3.1 Basis of consolidation (continued) (iii) Property acquisition and business combination (continued)
