NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2009<br />
2.3. Investment Property (continued)<br />
The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions<br />
about rental income from future leases in the light of the current market conditions.<br />
The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property. Some<br />
of those outflows are recognised as a liability, including finance lease liabilities in respect of leasehold land classified as<br />
investment property; others, including contingent rent payments, are not recognised in the financial statements.<br />
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic<br />
benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All<br />
other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the<br />
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.<br />
If a valuation obtained for a property held under a lease is net of all payments expected to be made, any related lease<br />
liability recognised separately in the statement of financial position is added back to arrive at the carrying value of the<br />
investment property for accounting purposes.<br />
The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the<br />
property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure other than those a rational market<br />
participant would take into account when determining the value of the property.<br />
