Page 156 - Annual Report 2015 - Mono Technology Public Company Limited

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite useful lives of the intangible assets is reviewed annually.
5.8 Relatedpartytransactions
Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Company and its subsidiaries.
They also include individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the Company and its subsidiaries that gives them significant influence over the Company and its subsidiaries, key management personnel, directors, and officers with authority in the planning and direction of the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
5.9 Long-termleases
Leases of equipment which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in long-term payables, while the interest element is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease period.
Leases of building and equipment which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
5.10 Foreign currencies
The consolidated and separate financial statements are presented in Baht, which is also the Company’s functional currency. Items of each entity included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the functional currency of that entity.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the end of reporting period.
Gains and losses on exchange are charged to profit or loss
5.11 Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company and its subsidiaries perform impairment reviews in respect of assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. The Company and its subsidiaries also carry out annual impairment reviews in respect of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount.
5.12 Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributions to the social security fund are recognised as expenses when incurred.
