Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)<br />

For the Financial Year Ended 31 December 2009<br />

C <strong>IN</strong>TANGIBLE ASSETS<br />

(a) Goodwill<br />

Deleum Berhad Annual Report 2009 67<br />

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries and associates over the fair value of the<br />

Group’s share of their identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.<br />

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment<br />

losses are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill<br />

relating to the entity sold.<br />

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to<br />

those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the<br />

business combination in which the goodwill arose (see accounting policy Note R on impairment of non-financial<br />

assets).<br />

Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Such goodwill is tested for<br />

impairment as part of the overall balance.<br />

(b) Contracts<br />

Acquired contracts with finite useful life are capitalised at cost and amortised using the straight line basis over their<br />

contractual periods or estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Acquired contracts are tested for impairment<br />

whenever indication of impairment exists.<br />

D <strong>IN</strong>VESTMENTS<br />

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are shown at cost. At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether<br />

there is any indication of impairment. If such indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is<br />

assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount (see the accounting policy Note R on impairment<br />

of non-financial assets).<br />

Investments in other long term investments are stated at cost and an allowance for diminution in value is made where,<br />

in the opinion of Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of such investments. Where there has<br />

been a decline other than temporary in the value of an investment, such a decline is recognised as an expense in the<br />

period the decline is identified.<br />

On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged/<br />

credited to the income statement.<br />

E PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT<br />

All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.<br />

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.<br />

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only<br />

when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of<br />

the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised. All other repairs and<br />

maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.
