NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2008<br />

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

(l)<br />

Leases<br />

A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or series of payments for the<br />

right to use an asset for an agreed period of time.<br />

(i)<br />

Finance lease<br />

A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. Title<br />

may or may not eventually be transferred.<br />

Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases are stated at amounts equal to the lower of their fair<br />

values and the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation<br />

and any impairment losses.<br />

In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount rate is the interest rate implicit in the<br />

lease, if this is determinable; if not, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used.<br />

(ii)<br />

Operating lease<br />

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.<br />

Operating lease income or operating lease rentals are credited or charged to the income statement on a straight-line<br />

basis over the period of the lease.<br />

(m) Prepaid lease payments<br />

Leasehold land that has an indefinite economic life and title that is not expected to pass to the Group and the Company<br />

by the end of the lease term is classified as operating lease. The up-front payments for right to use the leasehold land over<br />

a predetermined period are accounted for as prepaid lease payments.<br />

(i)<br />

(ii)<br />

Measurement basis<br />

Prepaid lease payments are stated at cost less amounts amortised and impairment losses, if any.<br />

Amortisation<br />

The prepaid lease payments are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the lease.<br />

(n)<br />

Development properties<br />

Development properties are classified under two categories i.e. land held for property development and property development<br />

costs.<br />

Land held for property development is defined as land on which development is not expected to be completed within the<br />

normal operating cycle. Usually, no significant development work would have been undertaken on these lands. Accordingly,<br />

land held for property development is classified as non-current assets on the balance sheet and is stated at cost plus<br />

incidental expenditure incurred to put the land in a condition ready for development.<br />

Land on which development has commenced and is expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle is included<br />

in property development costs. Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development<br />

activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.<br />

Where the outcome of a development can be reasonably estimated, revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion<br />

method. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that costs incurred to-date bear to estimated total costs.<br />

In applying this method of determining stage of completion, only those costs that reflect actual development work performed<br />

are included as costs incurred.
