Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments.

The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only.

Items in the statement of profit or loss will need to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 requires the Company to present specified totals and subtotals: ‘Operating profit or loss’, ‘Profit or loss’ and ‘Profit or loss before financing and income taxes’. Information related to management-defined performance measures should be disclosed.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures
IFRS 19 allows eligible subsidiaries to apply IFRS Accounting Standards with the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. A subsidiary may choose to apply the new standard in its consolidated, separate or individual financial statements provided that, at the reporting date, it does not have public accountability, and its parent produces consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards. A subsidiary applying IFRS 19 is required to disclose in its explicit and unreserved statements of compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards that IFRS 19 has been adopted. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.
C. | Financial assets and Financial liabilities |
Financial instruments are any form of contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one company and a financial liability or equity instrument in another company. A financial asset or financial liability is included in the balance sheet when the entity becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Other financial liabilities and other financial assets, including liabilities to and receivables from related parties, are valued at amortized cost. A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the contractual right to cash flow from the asset has ceased or been settled. The same applies where the risks and benefits associated with the holding are essentially transferred to another party and the entity no longer has control over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the agreed obligation has been fulfilled or ceased.
