2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued l.

Property and equipment - direct acquisitions Property and equipment directly acquired are stated at costless accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and equipment includes: a purchase price, b any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its location and condition and c the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Property and equipment, except landrights, are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Years Buildings 15-40 Leasehold improvements 2-15 Switching equipment 3-15 Telegraph, telex and data communication equipment 5-15 Transmission installation and equipment 3-25 Satellite, earth station and equipment 3-20 Cable network 5-25 Power supply 3-20 Data processing equipment 3-20 Other telecommunications peripherals 5 Office equipment 2-5 Vehicles Asset Customer Premise Equipment “CPE” 4-8 10 Other equipment 2-5 The depreciation method, useful life and residual value of an asset are reviewed at least at each financial year-end and adjusted, if appropriate. The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Company and subsidiaries would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The Company and subsidiaries periodically evaluate their property and equipment for impairment, whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount, which is determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell or value-in-use. Property and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or for a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets are measured at fair value unless i the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance; or ii the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. Major spare parts and standbyequipment that are expected to be used for more than 12 months are recorded as part of property and equipment. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and the related accumulated depreciation are derecognized from the consolidated statements of financial position and the resulting gains or losses on the disposal or sale of the property and equipment are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
