   4.         Investment Income 

Accounting policy

Interest Income

Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time-apportioned basis, using the effective interest rate of the instrument concerned as calculated at the acquisition or origination date. Interest income is recognised gross of withholding tax, if any.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, a shorter period). When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit losses.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised gross of withholding tax in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on the date the right to receive payment is established. This is the date when the directors of the underlying project entity approve the payment of a dividend.

Net Gain from Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Net gain from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss includes all realised and unrealised fair value changes (including foreign exchange movements) other than interest and dividend income recognised separately.

All dividend and interest income has resulted from transactions with unconsolidated subsidiary entities. Gains on investments at fair value through profit or loss are also recognised on the Group's investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

   5.         Gain on Disposal of Investments 

During the year, the Group disposed of a number of non-strategic minority investments where there was no realistic scope to increase the investment in the future. The divestments predominantly relate to a small number of minority interests in the Group's Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project portfolio. The aggregate gains realised in the period are shown in the table below:
