3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)<br />
g) Intangible Assets<br />
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets required in<br />
a business combination as their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are<br />
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful life of intangible<br />
assets is assessed to be either fi nite or indefi nite. Intangible assets with fi nite lives are amortised on straight-line basis<br />
over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible<br />
assets may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a fi nite useful<br />
life are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date.<br />
Intangible assets with indefi nite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if<br />
the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired either individually or at the<br />
cash-generating unit level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefi nite life is also reviewed annually to determine<br />
whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable.<br />
h) Impairment of Assets<br />
At each balance sheet date, the Group and the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether<br />
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying<br />
amount of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amounts are the higher of net selling price and value<br />
in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash fl ows.<br />
An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the assets are carried at<br />
a revalued amount. Any impairment losses of revalued assets are treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any<br />
unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same assets. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior<br />
years are recorded when the impairment losses recognised for the assets no longer exist or have decreased.<br />
i) Plant and Equipment Acquired Under Hire Purchase Arrangements<br />
Plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are being capitalised and the corresponding obligations<br />
treated as liabilities in the fi nancial statements.<br />
Finance costs are allocated to the income statement to give a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining hire<br />
purchase payables.<br />
Plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the<br />
same basis as owned assets.<br />
j) Leased Assets<br />
Leased of assets where substantially all the risks and benefi ts incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal<br />
ownership, are transferred to the Group are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset<br />
and liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.<br />
Leased of assets are depreciated on straight-line basis over the term of the lease estimated useful lives where it is likely<br />
that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset. Lease payment is allocated between the reduction of the lease liability<br />
and the lease interest expense for the year.<br />
Leased payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefi ts remain with the lessor, are charged<br />
as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.<br />
