(e) | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of
(i) | the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over |
(ii) | the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date. |
When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statements as a gain on a bargain purchase.
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (Note 2(l)).
