SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
6.1 Changes in estimates
Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Directors are of the opinion that there are no significant changes in estimates during the reporting
period and at the end of the reporting period.
6.2 Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies
The following judgement made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(a) Classification of leasehold land
The Group has assessed and classified leasehold land of the Group as finance leases based on
the extent to which risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the land resides with the Group
arising from the lease term. Consequently, the Group has classified the unamortised upfront
payment for leasehold land as a finance lease in accordance with MFRS 117
Leases.
