Goodwillacquiredinabusinesscombinationisinitiallymeasured at cost being the excess of the cost of thebusiness combination over the Group’s interest in thenet fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities andcontingent liabilities. Following initial recognition,goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulatedimpairmentlosses.Goodwillisreviewedforimpairment,annually or more frequently if events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying value maybe impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing,goodwillacquiredinabusinesscombinationis,fromtheacquisitiondate,allocated togroupsofcash-generatingunits that areexpected tobenefit from the synergiesofthecombination.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverableamount of the cash-generating unit to which thegoodwill relates.Where the recoverable amount of thecash generating unit is less than the carrying amount,an impairment loss is recognised. The impairmentloss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount ofanygoodwillallocatedtotheunitandthentotheotherassets pro-rata to the carrying amount of each asset inthe unit.

d) Financial Assets available-for-sale

Financial Assets available-for-sale include equity anddebt securities. Equity securities classified as available-for-sale are those, which are neither classified as heldfortradingnordesignatedatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss.Debtsecuritiesinthiscategoryarethosewhichareintendedtobeheldforanindefiniteperiodoftimeandwhichmaybesoldinresponsetoneedsforliquidityorinresponsetochangesinthemarketconditions.

If there isan indicationof impairment in theunquotedequity securities, it is recognised in the Statement ofComprehensive Income.
