31. Investments in associates The Group's investments under the Small and Medium Enterprises Equity Investment Scheme ("SMEEIS") compiles with the Policy Guidelines for 2001 Fiscal Year (Monetary Policy Circular No. 35). The Group generally holds 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee and is therefore presumed to have significant influence over the investee. In instances where the Group holds less than 20 percent of the voting power of the investee, the Group concluded that it has significant influence due to the Group's representation on the board of the relevant investee, with such board generally limited to a small number of board members.

The financial statements used in applying the equity method may be as of a date or for a period that is different from the Group due to practical difficulties preventing the associate from producing coterminous figures in time for the Group's reporting period. There were no published price quotations for any associates of the Group. Furthermore, there are no significant restrictions on the ability of associates to transfer funds to the Group in the form of cash dividends or repayment of loans and advances. 32.

Under the terms of the guideline (amended by CBN letter dated 11 July 2006), the contributions will be 10% of profit after tax for the first 5 years and shall thereafter reduce to 5% of profit after tax.
