    (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)).
