APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) New and amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year In the current year the Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) for the first time which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on 1 April 2023 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: HKFRS 17 (including the October Insurance Contracts 2020 and February 2022 Amendments to HKFRS 17) Amendments to HKAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Amendments to HKAS 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules Amendments to HKAS 1 and Disclosure of Accounting Policies HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Except as described below the application of the new and other amendments to HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.– 4 –Impacts on application of Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting PoliciesThe Group has applied the amendments for the first time in the current year. HKAS 1 “Presentationof Financial Statements” is amended to replace all instances of the term “significant accountingpolicies” with “material accounting policy information”. Accounting policy information is material if when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.The amendments also clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions other events or conditions even if the amounts are immaterial.However not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions other events or conditions is itself material. If an entity chooses to disclose immaterial accounting policy information such information must not obscure material accounting policy information.HKFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” (the “Practice Statement”) is also amended to illustrate how an entity applies the “four-step materiality process” to accounting policy disclosures and to judge whether information about an accounting policy is material to its financial statements. Guidance and examples are added to the Practice Statement.Application of the HKICPA guidance on the accounting implications of the abolition of the Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) – Long Service Payment (“LSP”) offsetting mechanism in Hong Kong The Group has several subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong which are obliged to pay LSP to employees under certain circumstances. Meanwhile the Group makes mandatory MPF contributions to the trustee who administers the assets held in a trust solely for the retirement benefits of each individual employee. Offsetting of LSP against an employee’s accrued retirement benefits derived from employers’ MPF contributions was allowed under the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57). In June 2022 the Government of the HKSAR gazette the Employment and RetirementSchemes Legislation (Offsetting Arrangement) (Amendment) Ordinance 2022 (the “AmendmentOrdinance”) which abolishes the use of the accrued benefits derived from employers’ mandatory MPF contributions to offset severance payment and LSP (the “Abolition”). The Abolition will officially take effect on 1 May 2025 (the “Transition Date”). In addition under the Amendment Ordinance the last month’s salary immediately preceding the Transition Date (instead of the date of termination of employment) is used to calculate the portion of LSP in respect of the employment period before the Transition Date.In July 2023 the HKICPA published “Accounting implications of the abolition of the MPF-LSPoffsetting mechanism in Hong Kong” which provides guidance for the accounting for the offsetting mechanism and the impact arising from abolition of the MPF-LSP offsetting mechanism in Hong Kong. The Abolition with the application of the HKICPA guidance has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance.– 5 –3.
