APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRSs”) New and Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year The Group had applied the following new and amendments to IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for the first time in the current year: IFRS 16 Leases IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Amendments to IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017 Cycle Except as described below, the application of the new and amendments to IFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements. IFRS 16 “Leases” The Group has applied IFRS 16 for the first time in the current year. IFRS 16 superseded IAS 17 “Leases” (“IAS 17”), and the related interpretations. Definition of a lease The Group has elected the practical expedient to apply IFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease” and not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Therefore, the Group has not reassessed contracts which already existed prior to the date of initial application. For contracts entered into or modified on or after 1 January 2019, the Group applies the definition of a lease in accordance with the requirements set out in IFRS 16 in assessing whether a contract contains a lease. As a lessee The Group has applied IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1 January 2019. As at 1 January 2019, the Group recognised additional lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the related lease liabilities by applying IFRS 16.C8(b)(ii) transition. Any difference at the date of initial application is recognised in the opening retained profits and comparative information has not been restated. When applying the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 16 at transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, on lease- by-lease basis, to the extent relevant to the respective lease contracts: i. relied on the assessment of whether leases are onerous by applying IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” as an alternative of impairment review; – 6 – ii.
