SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.)
2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d.)
(i)
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an
estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For
the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups
of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units
and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the
revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in other
comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable
amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation,
had no impairment loss been recognised previously.
Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case
the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent
period.

Financial Assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the
Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets
not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company categorised the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition and the
categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
