    (k) Intangible assets

    The Group’s intangible assets are primarily software.

    Software that is not an integral part of any tangible assets, is recorded at cost less subsequent accumulated amortization and impairment losses (Note 2(n)). Amortization of software is mainly calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years.
