(m) Biological assets Oil palm and rubber plantation estates Biological assets are new development costs which are accounted for under the capital maintenance method. Under the capital maintenance method, planting development costs incurred (for example land clearing and upkeep of trees) up to the maturity period of zero (0) to three (3) years for oil palm and zero (0) to seven (7) years for rubber are capitalised and not amortised, and are shown as a non-current asset net of accumulated impairment losses. Biological assets will be subject to accelerated depreciation if the existing planted area has been earmarked by the Directors for replanting with a different crop, after writing down the carrying amount to its recoverable amount. Replanting expenses are charged to profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred. When the planted area is replanted with a different crop, the carrying value of the existing biological assets is expensed off in profit or loss and the planting development costs in respect of the new crop is capitalised. For land reclaimed by FELDA in accordance with the provisions of the LLA, the carrying value of the biological assets on the said land is derecognised in profit or loss based on areas reclaimed by FELDA, recognised when vacant possession of the land is transferred. Additional land acquired from FELDA under the LLA is recorded at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments payable or its fair value.
