(i) Classification and measurement
MFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for the financial assets that reflects
the business model in which the assets are managed and their cash flows characteristics.
MFRS 9 contains three principal classification catergories for the financial assets as follows:
-
Financial assets at amortised cost (“AC”)
-
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)
-
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
The standard also eliminates the previous FRS 139 categories of Held - to -Maturity, Loan andReceivables
(“L&R”) and Available-for-Sale (“AFS”). All the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities previously
categorised under L&R are now categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost.
The following table shows the original measurement categories in accordance FRS 139 and the new
measurement categories under MFRS 9 for the Group’s and the Company’s financial assets as at
1 April 2018.
