MTU Yuchai Power was incorporated on January 18, 2017. During 2017, Yuchai had invested RMB 75.0 million (US$ 11.8 million) into the joint venture. |
The Group assess impairment of investments when adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the recoverable amount of investment is below its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized. The Group performs evaluation of the value of its investment using a discounted cash flows projection or fair value less cost of disposal where appropriate. The projection will be performed using historical trends as a reference and certain assumptions to project the future streams of cash flows.
In 2015, the Group performed impairment evaluation of its investments in joint ventures. As a result, the Group reversed the earlier impairment of RMB 21.9 million for Copthorne Qingdao. The reversal was made because the fair value less cost of disposal estimated in the latest independent valuation report is higher than the carrying amount and the management had obtained the consent from its joint venture partner to sell the joint venture. The Group estimated the recoverable amounts of investment in Copthorne Qingdao based on its fair value less cost of disposal. The fair value is determined using recognized valuation technique, which is discounted cash flow method. The calculations require the use of key significant unobservable inputs (fair value level 3), which are occupancy rates, room rates, discount rates and gross margins of operating hotel. With regards to the valuation of the recoverable amount of Copthorne Qingdao, management believes that no reasonably possible changes in any of the key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the joint venture to materially exceed its recoverable amount.
In 2016 and 2017, the Group performed impairment evaluation of its investments in joint ventures, no impairment was required.
The summarized financial information of the joint ventures, based on their IFRS financial statements, and reconciliation with the carrying amount of the investment in consolidated financial statements are set out below:
