Investment in associate is accounted for using equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in
associate is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the
investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The investor's share of the
profit or loss of the investee is recognized in the investor's profit or loss. Distributions received from an
investee reduce the carrying amount of the investmnet. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be
necessary for the changes in the investor's proportionate interest in the investee arising from changes in the
investee's equity that have not been recognized in the investee's profit or loss.
