NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
15 Goodwill (Continued)<br />
(a)<br />
Impairment tests for goodwill (Continued)<br />
Due to the changing environment in which the CGUs are operating, a number of assumptions<br />
have to be made in order to sufficiently support the concluded value of the CGUs. The major<br />
assumptions adopted were:<br />
– there will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic<br />
conditions in countries in which the CGU will carry on its business;<br />
– there will be no major changes in the current taxation law in countries in which the<br />
CGU operates;<br />
– future exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those prevailing<br />
market expectations;<br />
– the availability of finance will not be a constraint on the future growth of the CGU’s<br />
operation;<br />
– the CGU will retain and have competent management, key personnel, and technical<br />
staff to support its ongoing operation; and<br />
– industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate significantly<br />
from economic forecasts.<br />
The recoverable amounts of all other CGUs are determined based on value-in-use<br />
calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets<br />
approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period<br />
are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The growth rate does not<br />
exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business segments in which the CGUs<br />
operate.<br />
