2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT'D)

2.1 Changes in accounting policies (Cont'd)

The adoption of the revised and new FRS 6 and 124 does not result in significant changes in accounting policies of the Group and the Company. The principal change in accounting policies and their effect resulting from the adoption of FRS 117 are discussed as follows :-

i) FRS 117 Leases

a) Leasehold land held for own use

Prior to 1 January 2007, leasehold land held for own use was classified as property, plant and equipment and was stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The adoption of the revised FRS 117 has resulted in a change in the accounting policy relating to the classification of leases of land and buildings. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. Leasehold land held for own use is now classified as operating lease and where necessary, the minimum lease payments or the up-front payments made are allocated between the land and buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents prepaid lease payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The change did not materially affect the financial statements of the Group and of the Company.

b) Initial direct costs

Prior to 1 January 2007, the Group, as a lessor in operating lease arrangements, had recognised initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging leases as an expense in the income statement in the period in which they were incurred. The revised FRS 117 requires such costs to be added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. According to the revised FRS 117, this change in accounting policy should be applied retrospectively. In general, the Group does not incur significant initial direct costs on negotiating and arranging leases and as a result, this change in accounting policy did not materially affect the financial statements of the Group and of the Company.

The Company has not adopted the deferred FRS 139 Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement and the following new and revised FRSs, amendments and Interpretations that are mandatory for financial periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007 :-

a) FRS 107 Cash Flow Statements

b) FRS 111 Construction Contracts

c) FRS 112 Income Taxes

d) FRS 118 Revenue

e) FRS 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance

f ) FRS 134 Interim Financial Reporting

g) FRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

h) Amendment to FRS 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates - Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
