Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward and other temporary differences to the extent that
the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable.
The Group did not recognise deferred tax assets of US$32m (2007: US$19m) in respect of losses that can be carried forward
against future taxable income. In addition the Group did not recognise deferred tax assets of US$25m (2007: US$22m) in
respect of capital losses that can be carried forward against future taxable gains. These losses are available indefinitely.
Deferred tax liabilities of US$2,004m (2007: US$2,187m) have not been recognised for the withholding tax and other taxes that
would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain subsidiaries. As the earnings are continually reinvested by the Group,
no tax is expected to be payable on them in the foreseeable future.
At the balance sheet date there were deferred tax assets recoverable within the next twelve months of US$47m (2007:
US$120m) and deferred tax liabilities payable within the next twelve months of US$1m (2007: US$10m).
