NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)<br />
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOlICIES (Cont’d)<br />
(d) leased assets<br />
(i) Finance lease<br />
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are<br />
classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its<br />
fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted<br />
for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.<br />
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction<br />
of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a<br />
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for<br />
by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.<br />
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.<br />
(ii) Operating lease<br />
Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are<br />
classified as operating leases; the leased assets are not recognised in the statement of financial position.<br />
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the<br />
lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the<br />
leased asset are consumed. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease<br />
expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which<br />
they are incurred.<br />
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments.<br />
(e) Intangible assets<br />
(i) Goodwill<br />
Goodwill arises on business combinations and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.<br />
(ii) Amortisation<br />
Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be<br />
impaired.<br />
(f) Cash and cash equivalents<br />
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have<br />
an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of three months or less and are used by the Group and the<br />
Company in the management of their short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and<br />
cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposits.
