NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)<br />

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOlICIES (Cont’d)<br />

(c) property, plant and equipment (Cont’d)<br />

(i) Recognition and measurement (Cont’d)<br />

Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.<br />

When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as<br />

separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.<br />

The gains or losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds<br />

from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income”<br />

or “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.<br />

(ii) Subsequent costs<br />

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount<br />

of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group or the<br />

Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised to profit or<br />

loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.<br />

(iii) Depreciation<br />

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are<br />

assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component is<br />

depreciated separately.<br />

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item<br />

of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives<br />

unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not<br />

depreciated. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their<br />

intended use.<br />

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:<br />

Buildings 33 1/3 years<br />

Books 10 years<br />

Motor vehicles 5 years<br />

Furniture and fittings 10 years<br />

Computer, LCD and overhead projectors 2 1/2 years<br />

Renovation and electrical installation 10 years<br />

Office and medical equipment 10 years<br />

Robes 5 years<br />

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and adjusted as<br />

appropriate.
