2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.9 Goodwill (continued)
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
for the financial year ended 28 February 2011
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, with the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the
carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised
for goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating
unit is disposed off, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed off is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill
disposed off in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed
off and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
2.10 Land use rights
Land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, land use rights are measured
at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The land use rights
are amortised on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms of 7 to 44 years.
2.11 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the
Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses
recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount
of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of
the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where
the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised
in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is measured at
revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment loss on
goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
