This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan to be measured as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after 15 December 2006. The Group has measured plan assets and benefit obligations at 31 December 2006 and has adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 158 in its consolidated financial statements at this date.
