    Changes in accounting policies

     

      (i) Amendments to to IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’

    The Company has adopted amendments to IAS ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ since January 1, 2017. The amendments require changes in liabilities arising from financing activities to be disclosed. The amendments are not required to provide comparative information for prior periods when applying for the first time. Information about changes in liabilities arising from financing activities is included in note 23 and note 24.

     

      (ii) Amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’

    The Company has adopted amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ since January 2017. The amendments clarify that unrealized losses on fixed-rate debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use and that the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include the recovery of some of assets for more than their carrying amount. When the Company assesses whether there will be sufficient taxable profit, the Company should compare the deductible temporary differences with future taxable profit that excludes tax deductions resulting from the reversal of those deductible temporary differences. The Company believes that there is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and did not retroactively restate the comparative consolidated financial statements for the prior period.
