NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007<br />
6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)<br />
(i)<br />
Prepaid Lease Payments<br />
The prepaid lease payments comprise the up-front payments made for the<br />
leasehold interest in land and are amortised on a straight line basis over the lease<br />
terms. Prior to 1 July 2006, leasehold land was classified under property, plant and<br />
equipment and was stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated<br />
impairment losses, if any. Upon adoption of the revised FRS 117, the unamortised<br />
amount of leasehold interest in land is retained as the surrogate carrying amount of<br />
prepaid lease payments as allowed by the revised FRS 117. The financial effects of<br />
adopting FRS 117 are disclosed in Note 43 to the financial statements.<br />

Research and Development Expenditure<br />
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.<br />
Development expenditure is recognised as an expense except that expenditure<br />
incurred on development projects are capitalised as long-term assets to the extent<br />
that such expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits.<br />
Development expenditure is capitalised if, and only if an entity can demonstrate all<br />
of the following:-<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
(iii)<br />
(iv)<br />
(v)<br />
its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under<br />
development;<br />
the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;<br />
its future economic benefits are probable;<br />
its ability to use or sell the developed asset; and<br />
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to<br />
complete the asset under development.<br />
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated<br />
amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially<br />
recognised as an expense are not recognised as assets in the subsequent period.<br />
The development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line method over a period<br />
of not exceeding 5 years when the products are ready for sale or use. In the event<br />
that the expected future economic benefits are no longer probable of being<br />
recovered, the development expenditure is written down to its recoverable amount.<br />
