3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the next financial year. 3.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty T he key assumptions 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 are discussed below: (a) Property development T he Group recognises certain of its property development revenue and expenses in the statements of comprehensive income by using an input method which is based on costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting period relative to the total expected cost to the satisfaction of those performance obligations. S ignificant judgement is required in determining the measure of progress, the extent of the property development costs incurred, the estimated total property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the property development costs. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based on past experience and by relying on the work of specialists. T he carrying amounts of the Group’s land held for property development, property development cost and contract cost assets are disclosed in Note 16(a), Note 16(b) and Note 25 respectively. (b) Deferred tax assets D eferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profit together with future tax planning strategies. The total unrecognised tax losses, unutilised capital allowances, unused investment tax allowances and other deductible temporary differences of the Group are disclosed in Note 12. (c) Provision of expected credit loss of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets T he Group and the Company assess the credit risk at each reporting date, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition on an individual basis. To determine whether there is a significant increase in credit risks, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtors and default or significant delay in payments. W here there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group and the Company determine the lifetime expected credit loss by considering the loss given default and the probability of default assigned to each counterparty customer. The financial assets are written off either partially or full when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group and the Company determine that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amount subject to the write-offs. T he carrying amounts of the trade and other receivables and contract assets are disclosed in Notes 23 and 24 respectively. 193 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS & OTHER INFORMATION
