SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Impairment of long-term assets The Company reviews on regular basis the carrying amount of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered impairment in value. In case such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. In circumstances where the recoverable amounts for the assets or the cash generating unit is estimated below its net book value, then the net book value for that asset or cash generating unit will be impaired to the recoverable amounts. Impairment losses are recognized immediately as expenses in the interim consolidated income statement. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the interim consolidated statement of income immediately. Biological Assets Biological assets are stated at cost of purchase or at the cost of rearing or growing to the point of commercial production, less accumulated depreciation. The costs of immature biological assets are determined by the cost of rearing or growing to their respective age. Biological assets are depreciated on a straight line basis to their estimated life of 5 years. Intangible assets Intangible assets represent costs incurred for the purpose of using rented stores (key money). These assets are amortized over the term of the related lease contracts. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisitions or constructions of qualifying assets, which are the assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the interim consolidated statement of income in the period in which they are incurred. Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into Saudi Riyals at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the interim consolidated balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Gains and losses from settlement and translation of foreign currency transactions are included in the interim consolidated statement of income. Accounting for lease contracts All leases entered into by the Company are classified as operating leases. Rental payments are charged to the interim consolidated statement of income using the straight-line method over the term of the operating lease contract. The lease amounts received by the Company as a lessor in operating lease contracts are recognized in the interim consolidated statement of income using the straight-line method over the period of the related leases.
