NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) ANNUAL <strong>REPORT</strong> AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Property and equipment (Continued) The group’s policy is to professionally revalue property at least once every five years. The last valuation was done on 31 December 2011. The valuation considered the highest and best use of the property. The basis of valuation is as follows: Freehold land and buildings – open market value Depreciation Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis at annual rates estimated to write off the cost of each asset or the revalued amounts, to its residual values over its estimated useful life as follows: Buildings 2.5% Fixtures, fittings and equipment 12.5% ATM Machines 16.7% Motor vehicles 20% Computers 20% Freehold land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. The depreciation charge to profit and loss is based on the carrying amounts of the property and equipment. The excess of this charge over that based on the historical cost of the property and equipment is released each year from the revaluation surplus to retained earnings. Leasehold land Payments to acquire interests in leasehold land are treated as prepaid operating rentals. They are stated at historical cost and are amortised over the term of the related lease. When a lease includes land and buildings elements, the group assesses the classification of each element as either a finance lease or an operating lease. In determining classification of the land element, an important consideration is that land normally has an indefinite economic life. Therefore the finance lease or operating lease classification of the land is considered a critical area of judgment. See note 3 to these financial statements. Intangible assets - computer software costs Generally, costs associated with developing computer software programmes are recognised as an expense incurred. However, costs that are clearly associated with an identifiable and unique product which will be controlled by the group and has a probable benefit exceeding the cost beyond one year, are recognised as an intangible asset. Expenditure which enhances and extends computer software programmes beyond their original specifications and lives is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original costs of the software. Computer software development costs recognised as assets are stated at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives not exceeding a period of 3 years. Impairment of non-financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Previously recognised impairment losses may be reversed to the extent of the assets carrying amount. 50
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) ANNUAL <strong>REPORT</strong> AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment properties Investment properties comprise land and buildings and parts of buildings held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. They are carried at fair value, determined annually by external independent valuers. Fair value is based on active market prices as adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, condition or location of the specific asset. Investment properties are not subject to depreciation. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the profit or loss for the year. Non-current assets held for sale The group classifies a non-current asset as held for sale if, and only if, its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less estimated selling costs at end of reporting period date. Impairment loss arising from any subsequent write-down of the carrying amount of an asset identified for sale to fair value less costs to make the sale is charged to profit or loss in the year in which the loss is identified. Foreign currencies i) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements of the group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the group operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings, which is the group’s functional and presentational currency. Except as indicated, financial information presented in Kenya Shillings has been rounded to the nearest thousand. ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions that are transactions denominated, or that require settlement, in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised through profit or loss. Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 51
