Sample Disclosure – Accounting Policy Of Operating Segments Reporting (17 March 2011)

Operating Segments

In the previous financial years, the Group deemed a segment as a distinguishable component of the Group that was engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) which was subject to risks and rewards that were different from those of other segments.

Following the adoption of FRS 8 Operating Segments, an operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Officer (CEO), acting as the chief operating decisions maker of the Group. The CEO makes decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment of the Group, and assesses its performances, for which discrete financial information is available for him/her to make the decisions.

However, as the Group have remained dormant, the adoption of FRS 8 Operating Segments does not have any impact to the presentations and disclosures required to be made in the financial statements.
