F Tangible fixed assets and depreciation<br />

Freehold land and buildings, and the building component of owner-occupied leasehold properties are stated at cost less<br />

any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Long-term interests in leasehold land are classified as finance leases<br />

and grouped under tangible assets if substantially all risks and rewards relating to the land have been transferred to the<br />

<strong>Group</strong>, and are amortized over the useful life of the lease. Grants related to tangible assets are deducted in arriving at<br />

the carrying amount of the assets. Other tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less amounts provided for depreciation.<br />

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated on the straight line basis to allocate the cost or valuation of each asset<br />

to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each balance sheet<br />

date. The estimated useful lives are as follows:<br />

Freehold and long leasehold buildings 21 years to 150 years<br />

Properties on leases with less than 20 years over unexpired period of lease<br />

Surfaces, finishes and services of hotel properties 20 years to 30 years<br />

Leasehold improvements 10 years<br />

Leasehold land over the respective lease term<br />

Plant and machinery 5 years to 15 years<br />

Furniture, equipment and motor vehicles 3 years to 10 years<br />

No depreciation is provided on freehold land as it is deemed to have an indefinite life.<br />

Where the carrying amount of a tangible fixed asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down<br />

immediately to its recoverable amount.<br />

The profit or loss on disposal of tangible fixed assets is recognized by reference to their carrying amount.<br />

G Loans receivable<br />

Loans receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an<br />

active market. They are classified under non-current assets unless their maturities are within twelve months after<br />

the balance sheet date. Loans receivable are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.<br />

H Other investments<br />

Other investments are non-financial assets and are stated at cost less provision for impairment.<br />

I Leases<br />

Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of<br />

ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.<br />

Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit and loss<br />

on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. When a lease is terminated before the lease period has expired,<br />

any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognized as an expense in the year in which<br />

termination takes place.
