(q) Investment Properties
The Group holds certain properties as investments to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or
both. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying
amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost
is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an
investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment (if any).
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected
from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are
recognised in the consolidated income statement in 'other operating income' in the year of retirement
or disposal.
Transfers to and from investment properties are made only when there is a change in use based on
the business model.
(r) Intangible Assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries.
Goodwill on Acquisitions
Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents the excess of the cost of the business
combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable net assets, including
intangibles, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (bargain
purchase), it is recognised immediately in the Group consolidated income statement.
Measurement
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the
acquiree are assigned to those units.
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually
and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. Impairment
is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or
group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the
consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed in
subsequent periods.

(r) Intangible Assets (continued)
(i) Goodwill (continued)
Measurement (continued)
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is
disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss of disposal of the operation. Goodwill
disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations
disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
(ii) Capitalised Software
Software acquired by the Group is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalised only when it increases the future
economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is
expensed as incurred.
Amortisation is recognised in the Group consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the software, from the date that it is available for use.
(iii) Other Intangible Assets
Intangibles acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of the intangibles
acquired in a business combination is at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, intangibles are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible asset are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
Intangibles with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangibles may be impaired. The amortisation period and
amortisation method for intangibles with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year
end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method,
as appropriate, and treated as changes in an accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on
intangibles with finite lives is recognised in the Group consolidated income statement in the expense
category consistent with the function of the intangibles.
(s) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets are reviewed periodically to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable
amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds
its recoverable amount. A cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates
cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised
in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating
units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then
to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (group or units) on a pro rata basis.
