Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 5% on cost, Improvement to Property - 20% on cost, Computer equipment and Office Equipment - 33% on cost and Motor Vehicles - 10% on reducing balance.
Fixed assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
