The fair value of such compensation is measured using generally accepted valuation methodologies for pricing financial instruments, and incorporates all factors and assumptions that knowledgeable, willing market participants would consider in setting the price. The fair value of instruments granted is recognized as an expense or capitalized if appropriate over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the following: • The translation of the financial statements of foreign operations where the functional currency is different to the functional currency of the parent entity; and • Exchange differences arise on the translation of monetary items which form part of the net investment in the foreign operation. |
