2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.13 Leases (continued) (b) Accounting by lessor (continued) Operating lease Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. 2.14 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 2.15 Investment properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect. Refer to Note 2.6 for the accounting policy on fair value measurement. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the income statement in the period of derecognition. Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use. 2.16 Intangible assets Computer software Cost incurred to acquire computer software that are not integral part of the related hardware, are capitalised as intangible assets and amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 - 10 years, when the assets are ready for their intended use. The capitalisation of computer software is on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. When an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the intangible assets is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount. Refer to Note 2.20 for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets.
