NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)<br />

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

2.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)<br />

(c) Goodwill on Consolidation<br />

Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated<br />

impairment losses.<br />

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (“CGU”)<br />

expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. CGU to which goodwill has been allocated are test<br />

for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the<br />

recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated<br />

first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the<br />

unit on a pro-rata basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for<br />

goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.<br />

On disposal of a subsidiary company, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination<br />

of the gain or loss on disposal.<br />

(d) Investments in Subsidiaries<br />

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses,<br />

if any. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is<br />

taken up in the income statement.<br />

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment<br />

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.<br />

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.<br />

Certain land and buildings of the Group are shown at valuation less subsequent depreciation and impairment<br />

losses. The directors have not adopted a policy of regular valuation, and have applied the transitional provisions<br />

of MFRS 1, First-time adoption of MFRS which permits these assets to be stated at their prevailing valuations<br />

less depreciation. The valuations were initially determined by independent professional valuers on the open<br />

market basis, and no later valuations were recorded in the financial statements.<br />

Surpluses arising from revaluation are dealt with in the property revaluation reserve. Any deficit arising is<br />

offset against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous increase for the same property. In all other<br />

cases, a decrease in carrying amount will be charged to the profit or loss.<br />

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the property, plant and equipment to their residual values on<br />

the straight line method over their expected useful lives. Freehold land is not amortised. Long-leasehold land<br />

is amortised evenly over its applicable lease period. The annual rates used for other assets are as follows:<br />

%<br />

Buildings 2<br />

Plant and machinery 10 - 20<br />

Motor vehicles 14 - 20<br />

Furniture, fittings and equipment 10 - 20<br />
