Company’s accounting period
beginning on 1 January 2024.
5.The adoption of these revisions to the

9.The IASB amended IAS 1
‘Presentation of Financial Statements’
to require entities to disclose their

accounting policies. The amendments
define what is ‘material
11.accounting policy information’
(being information that, when
considered together with other
12.information included in an entity’s
financial statements, can reasonably be
expected to influence
13.decisions that the primary users of
general purpose financial statements
make on the basis of those
14.financial statements) and explain
how to identify when accounting policy
information is material. They
15.further clarify that immaterial
accounting policy information does not
need to be disclosed. If it is
16.disclosed, it should not obscure
material accounting information.
18.To support this amendment, the
IASB also amended IFRS Practice
Statement 2 ‘Making Materiality
19.Judgements’ to provide guidance
on how to apply the concept of
materiality to accounting policy

disclosing accounting policy
information that is material.

3.Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new. The standard requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and it also includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements (PFS) and the notes.
In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest.
In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards. IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively.
The Group is currently working to identify all impacts the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements. The initial expected material impacts on Group’s financial statements are, as follows:
-New disclosure will be added: (a) management-defined performance measures; (b) specified expense by nature if expenses are presented by function in the operating category of the statement of profit or loss;
and (c) a reconciliation for each line item in the statement of profit or loss between the restated amounts presented applying IFRS 18 and the amounts previously presented applying IAS 1.
-Interest received and interest paid will be classified in the investing activities and financing activities, respectively, on the statement of cash flows.
