result in outcomes that could require amaterial adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities

Judgements

In theprocess of applying theGroup’s accounting policies, management hasmade the following judgements,

apartfromthoseinvolvingestimations,whichhavethemostsignificanteffectontheamountsrecognisedinthe

Classification between investment properties and properties held for sales

TheGroupdevelopspropertiesheld for saleandpropertiesheld toearn rentalsand/or forcapitalappreciation.

Judgement ismadeby themanagementondeterminingwhether a property is designated as an investment

property or a property held for sale. TheGroup considers its intention for holding theproperties at the early

development stage of the related properties. During the course of construction, the relatedproperties under

constructionareaccounted foraspropertiesunderdevelopment included incurrentassets if thepropertiesare

intended for sale after its completion,whereas, theproperties are accounted for as assets under construction

included in non-current assets if theproperties are intended to beheld to earn rentals and/or for capital

appreciation.Upon completionof theproperties, theproperties held for sale are transferred to completed

properties held for sale and are stated at cost, while theproperties held to earn rentals and/or for capital

appreciationaretransferredtoinvestmentpropertiesandaresubjecttorevaluationateachbalancesheetdate.
