Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2006 (cont’d)2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)2.3 Significant accounting estimates and judgmentsEstimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgments are made in the preparation of the fi nancial statements. Theyaffect the application of the Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, anddisclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, includingexpectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.a) Key sources of estimation uncertaintyThe key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheetdate, that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilitieswithin the next fi nancial year are discussed below:i) Impairment of goodwillThe Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimationof the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in userequires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash fl ows from the cash-generating unit andalso to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. The carryingamount of the Group’s goodwill at 31 December 2006 was $22,073,000 (2005: $21,055,000). More detailsare given in Note 13.ii)Income taxesThe Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgement is involved indetermining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computationsfor which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Grouprecognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due.Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, suchdifferences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.In addition, the Company was awarded the Development and Expansion Incentive (“DEI”) under theInternational Headquarters (“IHQ”) Award on 8 September 2004. The commencement date is 1 January2005 and is for a period of 5 years. The qualifying income from IHQ activities during the 5-year period willenjoy a concessionary tax rate, subject to fulfi llment of the criteria as stipulated in the Economic DevelopmentBoard’s offer letter. As at 31 December 2006, the Company has met the fi rst criteria and is currently on trackto achieving the remaining two criteria. The management believes that they will meet all the DEI criteria withinthe qualifying period by 31 December 2008.Notes to the Financial Statements 85Annual Report 2006
