Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective (cont’d.)

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d.)

Under MFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods

or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early

adoption permitted.

The Group has established a project team, with assistance from the various lines of business and finance management to

evaluate the potential impact of adopting this standard. The implementation efforts included the scoping of material revenue

streams, analysis of underlying contracts, business unit discussion to further assess specific contracts and products and the

development of updated disclosures. The project team has completed the scoping of material revenue streams and based on

the completed contracts reviews to date, the potential changes in revenue recognition for those contracts are not expected to

result in a material impact to the Group upon adoption.

Approximately 90% of the Group’s revenue comprising passenger seat sales, baggage fees, surcharges and fees and other

revenue will be covered under MFRS 15. In assessing the revenue recognition and measurement under MFRS 15, the principles

currently applied by the Group are largely consistent with the requirements of MFRS 15. Other than the enhanced disclosures

required, the Group does not anticipate significant changes to the recognition andmeasurement of revenue upon the application

of MFRS 15. The project team is developing additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures that will be required upon the

adoption of the new revenue recognition standard.

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. MFRS 9 is

effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application

is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. The Group has established a MFRS 9 project team sponsored by

Group Chief Financial Officer to plan and manage the implementation of MFRS 9.

The Group has performed a detailed impact assessment of all three aspects of MFRS 9. The assessment is based on currently

available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made

available to the Group in 2018 when the Group adopts MFRS 9.

Basedon the analysis of theGroup’s financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December2017on thebasis of facts and circumstances

that exist at that date, the directors of the Company have assessed the impact of MFRS 9 to the Group’s financial statements

as follows:

(i)

Classification and measurement

The Group does not expect a significant impact on its balance sheet or equity on applying the classification and

measurement requirements of MFRS 9. It expects to continue measuring at fair value all financial assets currently held

at fair value. Quoted equity shares currently held by the Group are disclosed as available-for-sale (AFS) which fair value

through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) election is available. Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new

guidance to affect the classification and measurement of these financial assets. However, gains or losses realised on the

sale of financial asset at FVOCI will no longer be transferred to profit or loss on sale, but instead reclassified below the

line from the FVOCI reserve to retained earnings.
