Presentation

bull An entity shall classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if

ndash its carrying amount will be recovered principally

bull through a sale transaction

bull rather than through continuing use

bull the asset (or disposal group) must beavailable for immediate sale

bull its sale must be highly probable

Available for Immediate Sale

Highly Probable

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 19

3 Classification as Held For Sale

Available for Immediate Sale

To be classified as held for sale

bull the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale

ndash in its present condition

ndash subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 20

3 Classification as Held For SaleCase

The accounting policy on repossessed assets in Annual Report 2012

ndash Non-financial assets acquired in exchange for loans in order to achieve an orderly realisation

bull are reported under ldquoAssets held for salerdquo if ndash the carrying amounts of the assets are

recovered principally through sale

ndash the assets are available for sale in their present condition and

ndash the sale is highly probable

11

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 21

An entity is committed to a plan to sell its headquarters building and has initiated actions to locate a buyer

However the entity has 2 plans and intends to

1 transfer the building to the buyer after it vacates the building or

2 continue to use the building untilconstruction of a new headquartersbuilding is completed

3 Classification as Held For SaleExample

The time necessary to vacate is usual and customary for sale of such asset

The delay in time implies not available for immediate sale

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 22

An entity is committed to a plan to sell a manufacturing facility and has initiated actions to locate a buyerAt the plan commitment date there is a backlog of uncompleted customer orders

The entity has 2 plans and intends to1 sell the facility with its operations

Any uncompleted customer orders at the sale date will be transferred to the buyer

2 sell the facility but without its operations The entity does not intend to transfer the facility to a buyer until after it ceases all operations of the facility and eliminates the backlog of uncompleted customer orders

3 Classification as Held For SaleExample

It will not affect the timing of the transfer

The delay in the timing of the transfer of the facility imposed by the entity (seller) demonstrates that the facility is not available for immediate sale

Annual Report 2012bull Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as

held for salendash Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as

held for salebull if their carrying amount will be principally recovered

ndash This requires that bull the asset or disposal group must be available for

immediate sale in its present condition and bull its sale must be highly probable

ndash The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification

2) $600000

bull Calculate the necessary adjustments

bull The planned disposal fulfilled the criteria under IFRS 5 and the fair value less estimated costs to sell is same as cost

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

36

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 71

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

Aggregation Criteria

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 76

Aggregation Criteria

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull Operating segments often exhibit similar long-term financial performance if they have similar economic characteristics

ndash For example similar long-term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar

Aggregation Criteria

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 76

Aggregation Criteria

bull Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if ‒ aggregation is consistent with the core principle of

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services and

e) if applicable the nature of the regulatory environment eg banking or public utilities

3 Reporting Segments

Combination of Segments

bull An entity may combine information (combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds) to produce a reportable segment

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

Core Principle

bull An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash For example similar long-term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar

Aggregation Criteria

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 76

Aggregation Criteria

bull Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if ‒ aggregation is consistent with the core principle of

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services and

e) if applicable the nature of the regulatory environment eg banking or public utilities

3 Reporting Segments

Combination of Segments

bull An entity may combine information (combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds) to produce a reportable segment

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Other Situations

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

bull An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

36

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 71

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

bull An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

36

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 71

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Operating Segments(IFRS 8)

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 68

Background

bull IFRS 8 arises from the IASBrsquos consideration of ndash FASB Statement No 131 Disclosures about Segments of

an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131 of United States) issued in 1997 compared with IAS 14 Segment Reporting which is similar to IAS 14

bull IFRS 8 achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131ndash The wording of IFRS 8 is the same as that of SFAS 131

except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs

bull An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate

ndash the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and

ndash the economic environments in which it operates

36

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 71

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

1 Core Principle and Scope

Scope

bull IFRS 8 applies tondash the separate or individual financial statements of

an entity with listed debt and equity

ndash the consolidated financial satements of a group with a parent with listed debt and equity

ndash The segment information of an entity which chooses to follow IFRS 8

bull If a financial report contains both the parentrsquos consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements

ndash segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 72

2 Operating Segments

bull An operating segment is a component of an entity

a) that engages in business activities from which it mayearn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entityrsquos chief operating decision maker to

bull make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and

bull assess its performance and

c) for which discrete financial information is available

A business activity might have not yet earned any revenue

For example CEO COO or a group of executive directors

bull Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment say corporate headquarter

Operating Segments

Not necessary be geographical areas or products

37

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 73

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

3 Reporting Segments

bull An entity shall report separately information about each operating segment that

a) has been identified as operating segment or results from aggregating two or more of those segments under the aggregation criteria and

b) exceeds the quantitative thresholds(ldquo10 or more testrdquo)

bull There are also other situations in which separate information about an operating segment shall be reported

Other Situations

38

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 75

3 Reporting Segments

bull Operating segments often exhibit similar long-term financial performance if they have similar economic characteristics

ndash For example similar long-term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar

Aggregation Criteria

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 76

Aggregation Criteria

bull Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if ‒ aggregation is consistent with the core principle of

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services and

e) if applicable the nature of the regulatory environment eg banking or public utilities

3 Reporting Segments

Aggregate segments if desired

39

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 77

3 Reporting Segments

bull An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds

a) Its reported revenue (including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers) is 10 or more of the combined revenue(internal and external) of all operating segments

b) The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 or more of the greater in absolute amount of

i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and

ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss

c) Its assets are 10 or more of the combined assetsof all operating segments

Quantitative Thresholds

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 78

3 Reporting Segments

Combination of Segments

bull An entity may combine information (combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds) to produce a reportable segment

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Other Situations

40

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 79

3 Reporting Segments

Not Reportable Segments

bull Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable

ndash shall be combined and disclosed in an ldquoall other segmentsrdquo category separately from other reconciling items in the reconciliations required by IFRS 828

bull The sources of the revenue included in the ldquoall other segmentsrdquo category shall be described

bull If management judges that an operating segment identified as a reportable segment in the immediately preceding period is of continuing significance

ndash information about that segment shall continue to be reported separately in the current period even if it no longer meets the criteria for reportability

Interim Report 2009

bull HKFRS 8 requires segment disclosure

ndash to be based on the way the Grouprsquos chief operating decisionmaker regards and manages the Group

ndash with the amounts reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Grouprsquos chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters

bull This contrasts with the presentation of segment information in prior years which was based on a disaggregation of the Grouprsquos financialstatements into segments based on related services

bull The adoption of HKFRS 8 has resulted in the presentation of segment information in a manner that is more consistent with internal reporting provided to the Grouprsquos most senior executive management

2 Operating SegmentsCase

IAS 14

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 74

3 Reporting Segments

ndash For example similar long-term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar

Aggregation Criteria

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 76

Aggregation Criteria

bull Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if ‒ aggregation is consistent with the core principle of

IFRS 8

‒ the segments have similar economic characteristics and

‒ the segments are similar in each of the following respects

a) the nature of the products and services

b) the nature of the production processes

c) the type or class of customer for their products and services

d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services and

e) if applicable the nature of the regulatory environment eg banking or public utilities

i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and

ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss

c) Its assets are 10 or more of the combined assetsof all operating segments

Quantitative Thresholds

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 78

3 Reporting Segments

Combination of Segments

bull An entity may combine information (combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds) to produce a reportable segment

ndash only if the operating segments

bull have similar economic characteristics and

bull share a majority of the aggregation criteria

bull If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75 of the entityrsquos revenue

ndash additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the quantitative thresholds) until at least 75 of the entityrsquos revenue is included in reportable segments

Other Situations

40

copy 2005-13 Nelson Consulting Limited 79

3 Reporting Segments

Not Reportable Segments

bull Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable

ndash shall be combined and disclosed in an ldquoall other segmentsrdquo category separately from other reconciling items in the reconciliations required by IFRS 828

bull The sources of the revenue included in the ldquoall other segmentsrdquo category shall be described

bull If management judges that an operating segment identified as a reportable segment in the immediately preceding period is of continuing significance

ndash information about that segment shall continue to be reported separately in the current period even if it no longer meets the criteria for reportability

Other Situations
