(ii) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets are stated at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and impairment 
losses (see note 3(j)).
(iii) Amortisation
Goodwill is not amortised but subject to 
impairment testing (see note 3(j)) annually.
The cost of other intangible assets with finite 
useful lives is amortised to profit or loss on a 
straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated 
useful lives from the date they are available for 
use. Their estimated useful lives are as follows:
■
Software
2 to 10 years
■
Patents and royalties
2 to 10 years
■
Trademark and others
2 to 20 years
Both the useful lives and method of 
amortisation are reviewed annually and revised 
when necessary.
