Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Valuation of hotel assets (Refer to note 4 to the financial statements) Risk The Group has significant hotel assets classified as property, plant and equipment which are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are subject to an annual assessment for impairment indicators. In undertaking the impairment assessment, the Group takes into consideration several factors, including the economic outlook, the quantum of available headroom from previous valuations undertaken (where applicable) and the trading performance of the properties. The properties with indicators of impairment are then subjected to a detailed impairment review whereby their recoverable amounts are estimated. The Group uses a combination of internal and external valuations to estimate the recoverable amount of its properties identified as at risk of being impaired, which is determined to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and valuein-use of these properties. The valuations are sensitive to key assumptions applied and a change in the assumptions may have an impact on the recoverable amounts.
