p 169 MISC BERHAD - Annual Report 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (d) Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is instead reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. (ii) Other intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting date. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment, annually or more frequently, if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating-unit level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is also reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable. (e) Ships, offshore floating assets, other property, plant and equipment, and depreciation All ships, offshore floating assets and other property, plant, and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, ships, offshore floating assets and other property, plant and equipment (except for ships and offshore floating assets under construction and projects in progress) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
