NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2008<br />

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

(v)<br />

Impairment of assets (cont’d)<br />

(i)<br />

Goodwill (cont’d)<br />

An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit,<br />

including the goodwill, exceeds the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. Recoverable amount of the cashgenerating<br />

unit is the higher of the cash-generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.<br />

The total impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating<br />

unit and then to the other assets of the cash-generating unit proportionately on the basis of the carrying amount of<br />

each asset in the cash-generating unit.<br />

Impairment loss recognised on goodwill is not reversed in the event of an increase in recoverable amount in subsequent<br />

periods.<br />

(ii)<br />

Property, plant and equipment, investment properties, land held for property development, investment in subsidiary<br />

companies, associated companies and jointly controlled entities<br />

Property, plant and equipment, investment properties, land held for property development, investment in subsidiary<br />

companies, associated companies and jointly controlled entities are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine<br />

whether there is any indication of impairment.<br />

If such an indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of<br />

an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows<br />

expected to be derived from the asset. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible,<br />

for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.<br />

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its<br />

recoverable amount. Impairment losses are charged to the income statement.<br />

Any reversal of an impairment loss as a result of a subsequent increase in recoverable amount should not exceed the<br />

carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation, if applicable) had no impairment<br />

loss been previously recognised for the asset.<br />

(w)<br />

Employee benefits<br />

(i)<br />

Short-term employee benefits<br />

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense<br />

in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees other than those that are attributable to<br />

property development activities or construction contract in which case such expenses are recognised in the property<br />

development costs or contract costs.<br />

(ii)<br />

Post-employment benefits<br />

The Company and its Malaysian subsidiary companies pay monthly contributions to the Employees Provident Fund<br />

(“EPF”) which is a defined contribution plan.<br />

The legal or constructive obligation of the Company and its Malaysian subsidiary companies is limited to the amount<br />

that they agree to contribute to the EPF. The contributions to the EPF are charged to the income statement in the<br />

period to which they relate.
