NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2011</strong> (Continued)<br />
FRS 1: 112, 117<br />
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)<br />
2.13 Intangible assets (Continued)<br />
Commentary<br />
Please include the following accounting policies, where applicable:<br />
(i)<br />
Club memberships<br />
FRS 38: 107<br />
Club memberships are stated at cost less any impairment loss.<br />
(ii)<br />
Trademarks and licences<br />
FRS 38: 74<br />
FRS 38: 97<br />
Trademarks and licences are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and<br />
accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to profit or loss using the<br />
straight-line method over 15 to 2 years, which is the shorter of their estimated useful<br />
lives and periods of contractual rights.<br />
(iii)<br />
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination<br />
FRS 38: 33, 34<br />
FRS 103: 45<br />
FRS 38: 33<br />
FRS 38: 74<br />
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised<br />
separately from goodwill if the assets and their fair values can be measured reliably.<br />
The cost of such intangible assets is their fair value as at the acquisition date.<br />
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination<br />
are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment<br />
losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.<br />
(iv) Land use right 1<br />
FRS 38: 74<br />
FRS 38: 97<br />
FRS 38: 97<br />
Land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, land use<br />
rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated<br />
impairment losses. The land use rights are amortised over the lease term of 25 years.<br />
1<br />
It is assumed that the lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards<br />
incidental to ownership of land. Therefore, the lease is an operating lease and the<br />
payments made on acquiring the land-use right represent prepaid lease payments.<br />
(v)<br />
Gain from bargain purchase<br />
FRS 103: 34<br />
Gain from bargain purchase represents the excess of the Group’s interest in the net<br />
fair value of the identifiable net assets and contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries<br />
acquired over the cost of the acquisition at the date of acquisition. The gain is<br />
recognised directly in profit or loss unless it arose from acquisitions that took place<br />
prior to 1 January 2001 where such gain was adjusted to retained profits in the year of<br />
acquisition and is not recognised in profit or loss on disposal.<br />
