SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) 2.10 Land held for property development and property development costs (cont'd.) (b) Development properties (cont'd.) The costs of development properties include: - Freehold and leasehold rights for land; - Amounts paid to contractors for construction; and - Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs. Non-refundable commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real estate units are expensed when incurred. Net realisable value of development properties is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market prices at the end of the reporting period and discounted for the time value of money if material, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The costs of development properties recognised in profit or loss on disposal are determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the property sold. 2.11 Investment properties Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use. Properties that are occupied by the companies in the Group are accounted for as owner-occupied rather than as investment properties. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses consistent with the accounting policies for property, plant and equipment as stated in Note 2.8. 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properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.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 profit or loss in the year in which they arise. 2.12 Intangible assets (a) Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated, from the acquisition date, to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
