Datasonic Group Berhad Annual Report 2024

ANNUAL REPORT 2024 FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE 133 4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION 4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty Management believes that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year other than as disclosed below:- (a) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions. The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. (b) Income Taxes There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax expense and deferred tax balances in the year in which such determination is made. (c) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Right-of-use Assets The Group determines whether its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are impaired by evaluating the extent to which the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount. This evaluation is subject to changes such as market performance, economic and political situation of the country. A variety of methods is used to determine the recoverable amount, such as valuation reports and discounted cash flows. For discounted cash flows, significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the assets, which involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgements made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. (d) Amortisation of Development Expenditure The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related amortisation charges for the development expenditure are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions. The Group anticipates that the residual values of its development expenditure will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the amortisation amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future amortisation charges could be revised. (e) Write-down of Inventories and Projects-in-progress Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories and projects-inprogress. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories and projects-in-progress.
