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

31 DECEMBER 2012<br />

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

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

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

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure<br />

that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected<br />

pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and<br />

equipment.<br />

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits<br />

are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition of the assets is included in<br />

the income statement in the year in which the assets is derecognised.<br />

(f) Investment Properties<br />

Investment properties consist of land and buildings held for capital appreciation or rental purpose and not<br />

occupied or only an insignificant portion is occupied for use or in the operations of the Group. Investment<br />

properties are treated as non-current investment and are measured initially at cost, including transaction<br />

costs. The carrying amount included the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the<br />

time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excluded the costs of day-to-day servicing of<br />

investment properties. Fair value is arrived at by reference market evidence of transaction prices for similar<br />

properties and is performed by independent professional valuers.<br />

Gain or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in the income<br />

statements in the year in which they arise.<br />

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed or when the investment property<br />

is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains<br />

or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in income statement in the<br />

year in which they arise.<br />

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from<br />

investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair<br />

value at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property to investment property, the<br />

property is accounted for in accordance with accounting policy for property, plant and equipment set out in<br />

Note 2.4(e) up to the date of change in use.<br />

(g) Financial Assets<br />

Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group and<br />

the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are<br />

classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity<br />

investments or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate.<br />

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction cost, except for<br />

financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, which are recognised at fair value. The Group determines<br />

the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and where appropriate, re-evaluates this<br />

designation at each reporting period.
