SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)
(d) Loss of Control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group recognises any gain or loss on disposal in profit or
loss which is calculated as the difference between:-
(i)
the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest in the former subsidiary; and
(ii)
the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the former
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the former subsidiary
are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were
disposed of (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained profits). The fair value of
any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair
value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under MFRS 139 or, when applicable, the cost
on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, other than goodwill, that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are
measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.
Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are
available for use. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and adjusted, if appropriate.
Goodwill
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The carrying value of goodwill is
reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may be impaired. The impairment value of goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or
loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
Under the acquisition method, any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the
business combination, the amount of non-controlling interests recognised and the fair value of the Group’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition is recorded as goodwill.
Where the latter amount exceeds the former, after reassessment, the excess represents a bargain purchase
gain and is recognised as a gain in profit or loss.
Functional and Foreign Currencies
