The depreciation basis is determined considering the residual
value of the asset and any impairment losses. The residual
value is determined at the date of acquisition and is reassessed
annually. If the residual value exceeds the carrying amount of
the asset, depreciation will cease. If the depreciation period or
the residual value is changed, the effect on depreciation going
forward is recognized as a change in accounting estimates.
Leased assets
A lease asset and a lease liability are recognized in the balance
sheet when a right-of-use lease asset is transferred to the group
or the parent company for the term of the lease pursuant to a
concluded lease agreement and the group obtains the right to
substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the
identifiable asset and the right to control the use of the
identifiable asset. Service components are excluded from the
lease liability.
On initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the
present value of the future lease payments, discounted using an
alternative interest rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method. The lease liability is re-measured
when there is a change in the underlying contractual cash flows
due to changes in an index or an interest rate, if there is a
change to the estimate of a residual value guarantee, or if there
is a change to the assessment as to whether it is reasonably
certain that a purchase option, an extension option, or a
termination option will be exercised.
On initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost,
corresponding to the value of the lease liability adjusted for
prepaid lease payments plus any initial direct costs and
estimated costs for dismantling, removing, and restoring or
similar and less any discounts or other types of incentive
payments granted by the lessor.
On subsequent recognition, the asset is measured at cost less
any accumulated depreciation and impairment. The right-of-use
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the
useful life of the asset. Depreciation charges are recognized in
the income statement on a straight-line basis.
The right-of-use asset is adjusted for any changes in the lease
liability due to changes in the lease terms or changes in the
contractual cash flows because of changes in an index or an
interest rate.
Lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated lease term.
The lease asset and the lease liability are presented separately
by the group and the parent company in the balance sheet.
The group and the parent company have elected not to
recognize right-of-use assets of low value and short-term leases
in the balance sheet and instead to recognize lease payments
concerning these leases in the income statement on a straight-
line basis.
When the group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its
interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It
assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference
to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with
reference to the underlying asset.
Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at fair value, which
reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties
are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise,
including the corresponding tax effect.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have
been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from
use and no future economic benefit is expected from their
disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss
in the period of derecognition.
Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when
there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property
to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent
accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If
owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the
Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy
stated under "Property, plant and equipment" up to the date of
change in use. At the same date the property is evaluated to fair
value and the adjustment between the cost value and fair value
is recognized as other comprehensive income.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are measured using the equity
method.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at the proportionate
share of the entities' net asset value calculated in accordance
with the Group's accounting policies minus or plus unrealized
intra-group profits and losses and plus or minus any residual
value of positive or negative goodwill determined in accordance
with the purchase method of accounting.
Investments in subsidiaries with negative net asset values are
measured at DKK 0, and any amounts owed by such entities are
written down insofar as the amount receivable is considered
irrecoverable. If the Parent Company has a legal or constructive
obligation to cover a deficit that exceeds the amount owed, the
remaining amount is recognized under "Provisions".
Net revaluation of investments in subsidiaries is recognized in
the net revaluation reserve according to the equity method
under equity where the carrying amount exceeds cost.
Dividends from subsidiaries which are expected to be declared
before the annual report of Glunz & Jensen Holding A/S is
adopted are not taken to the net revaluation reserve.
Impairment of non-current assets
Development projects are tested annually for evidence of
impairment.
Deferred tax assets are tested for impairment annually and are
written down if it is deemed likely that the deferred tax asset
cannot be utilized against tax on future income or set off against
deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity and jurisdiction.
This assessment considers the type and nature of the
recognized deferred tax asset, the estimated period for set-off
of the deferred tax asset etc.
Other long-term assets are tested for impairment once a year.
When there is evidence that an asset may be impaired, the
recoverable amount of that asset is determined. The
recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price of the
