Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset
are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms
and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in
negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over
the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
Amendments to IFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
Under IFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income,
provided that the contractual cash flows are 'solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding'
(the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification.
The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of the event or circumstance
that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable
compensation for the early termination of the contract. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Group.
Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which
the equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture
(long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that the expected credit loss model in IFRS 9 applies
to such long-term interests.
The amendments also clarified that, in applying IFRS 9, an entity does not take account of any losses of the associate
or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognised as adjustments to the net investment in the
associate or joint venture that arise from applying IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. These
amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Group does not have long-term interests in
its associate and joint venture.
Annual improvements 2015-2017 cycle
IFRS 3 Business Combinations
The amendments clarify that, when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it applies
the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including remeasuring previously held interests in
the assets and liabilities of the joint operation at fair value. In doing so, the acquirer remeasures its entire previously held
interest in the joint operation.
An entity applies those amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning
of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early application permitted. These
amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as there is no transaction where joint
control is obtained.
