Impairment tests for goodwill with indefinite useful lives<br />
(i)<br />
Description of the cash generating units and other relevant information<br />
Goodwill acquired through business combinations for the purposes of impairment testing is allocated to one of the<br />
<strong>Group</strong>’s property / asset management business or a cash generating unit relating to one of the <strong>Group</strong>’s segment.<br />
The recoverable amount of the unit has been determined based on a fair value less costs to sell calculation using<br />
cash flow projections as at 30 June <strong>2018</strong> covering a five-year period.<br />
(ii) Key assumptions used in valuation calculations<br />
Goodwill <strong>–</strong> the calculation of fair value less costs to sell is most sensitive to the following assumptions:<br />
a. Management and other fee income: based on actual income and funds under management within the<br />
financial year.<br />
b. Discount rates: reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the risks specific to each<br />
unit that are not reflected in the cash flows<br />
c. <strong>Property</strong> values of the funds/properties under management: based on the fair value of properties<br />
d. Selling costs: management’s estimate of costs to sell the funds/properties under management<br />
e. A pre-tax discount rate of 9.40% (2017: 9.40%) and a terminal growth rate of 2.7% (2017: 2.7%) have been<br />
applied to the cash flow projections<br />
(iii) Sensitivity to changes in assumptions<br />
Significant and prolonged property value falls and market influences which could increase discount rates could<br />
cause goodwill to be impaired in the future, however, the goodwill valuation as at 30 June <strong>2018</strong> has significant<br />
head room thus no reasonable changes in the assumptions would cause or give rise to an impairment.<br />
