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.
