Impairment testing for cash-generating-units (“CGU”) containing goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which represent
the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill
of S$7,973,493 has been allocated to the distribution segment, S$1,008,055 allocated to corrosion prevention
segment and the remaining S$2,753,500 has been allocated to “others segment” as defined in Note 35.
The impairment of S$454,000 has been made during the year because management believes that a CGU of
the distribution segment located in a different geographical segment will not be able to generate adequate
cashflows above its carrying amount of goodwill. The impairment loss of S$454,000 has been recognised in
other operating expenses in profit or loss.
The Group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial budgets approved by
management for the next five years at an estimated growth rate of 5% (2011: 5%) per annum and perpetual
growth rate of 3% per annum (2011: 3%).
