103 Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 6 Section 07 Financial StatementS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 December 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) 2.2 Changes in accounting policies (cont'd.) (a) Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2012 - 2014 Cycle The Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2012 - 2014 Cycle include a number of amendments to various MFRSs, which are summarised below. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements. (i) MFRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations The amendment to MFRS 5 clarifies that changing from one disposal method to the other should not be considered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is therefore no interruption of the application of the requirements in MFRS 5. The amendment also clarifies that changing the disposal method does not change the date of classification. This amendment is applied prospectively. (ii) MFRS 7: Financial Instruments - Disclosures The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance for continuing involvement in MFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. In addition, the amendment also clarifies that the disclosures in respect of offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the condensed interim financial report. This amendment is applied retrospectively. (iii) MFRS 134: Interim Financial Reporting MFRS 134 requires entities to disclose information in the notes to the interim financial statements ‘if not disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report’. The amendment states that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the greater interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. (b) Amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 138: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation The amendments clarify that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset forms part of the business) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through the use of an asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments do not have any impact to the Group as the Group has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.
