    Share-based Payment Arrangements - Employee Stock Options

    The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of employee stock options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital - employee stock options.  If the equity instruments granted vest immediately at the grant date, expenses are recognized in full in profit or loss.

    At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest.  The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital - employee stock options.
