Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.27 Assets classified as held for sale Assets classified as held for sale are classified as assets/liabilities held for sale of the carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition. 2.28 Contingent liabilities The Group and the Company do not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare case where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. Contingent liability is not recognised on the statement of financial position of the Group, except for contingent liability assumed in a business combination that is a present obligation and which the fair values can be reliably determined. 3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the Directors and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below. (a) Impairment of goodwill The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with the accounting policy 2.10(a) and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. For the purposes of assessing impairment, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units are based on management’s judgement of the developments in the market and the expected future performance, taking into account the impact of the uncertainty of the future economic condition.
