Adoption of FRS 116 Leases When the Association is the lessee Prior to the adoption of FRS 116, non-cancellable operating lease payments were not recognised as liabilities in the balance sheet. These payments were recognised as rental expenses over the lease term on a straight-line basis. ng policy on leases after the adoption of FRS 116 is as disclosed in Note 2.9. On initial application of FRS 116, the Association has elected to apply the following practical expedients: (i)

(ii)

On a lease-by-lease basis, the Association has: applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; relied on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review; accounted for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases; excluded initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

2.2

Investment in associate An associate is an entity over which the Association has significant influence, but not control, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to voting rights of 20% and above. Investment in an associate is accounted for in the financial statements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses, if any. Investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is adjusted thereafter to -acquisition losses of the investee in statement of comprehensive income (refer to Note 6 on equity method -acquisition profit). When the an associate equals to or exceeds its interest in the associate, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, the Association does not recognise further losses, unless it has legal or constructive obligations to make, or has made, payments on behalf of the associate. Investment in an associate is derecognised when the Association loses significant influence.

2.3

Currency translation The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollar, which is the functional currency of the Association. are translated into Singapore Dollar using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in statement of comprehensive income. All foreign exchange gains and losses impacting profit or loss are presented in the

2.4

Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Capital work-in-progress relating to an asset under construction will be reclassified to the respective classes of property, plant and equipment upon completion of the project. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost and is not depreciated. Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows: Computer equipment Furniture and fittings Land lease Office equipment Office renovation

Useful lives 3 years 5 years 4 years 5 years 3 years

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the changes arise. 2.5

Impairment of non-financial assets Plant and equipment, Right-of-use assets and Investment in Associate are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing of assets, recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashbelongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

SINGAPORE INDIAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 December 2019 2.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.5

Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in the statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to d the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.

2.6

Financial assets (a)

Classification and measurement The Association classifies its financial assets into the following measurement categories: Amortised cost; and Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). business model for managing the financial assets as well as the contractual terms of the cash flows of the financial assets. At initial recognition At initial recognition, the Association measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets (continued) (a)

Classification and measurement (continued) At subsequent measurement (i)

Debt instruments Debt instruments of the Association mainly comprise of bank balances, receivables, listed and unlisted debt securities. There are two subsequent measurement categories, depending on the cash flow characteristics of the asset. Amortised cost: Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method. FVPL: Debt instruments that are held for trading as well as those that do not meet the criteria for classification as amortised cost are classified as FVPL. Movement in fair values and interest income is recognised in profit or loss in

(ii)

Equity investments The Association subsequently measures all its equity investments at their fair values. Equity instruments are classified as FVPL with movements in their fair values recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the changes arise from equity investments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive

Financial assets (continued) (b)

Impairment The Association assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For receivables, the Association applies the simplified approach permitted by the FRS 109, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. For bank balances, the general 3 stage approach is applied. Credit loss allowance is based on 12-month expected credit loss if there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the assets. If there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, lifetime expected credit loss will be calculated and recognised.

(c)

Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date the date on which the Association commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Association has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a debt instrument, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of an equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount and sales proceed is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.7

Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank in investment accounts and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, pledged fixed deposits are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

2.8

Other payables Other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Association prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as noncurrent liabilities. Other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9

Leases The accounting policy for leases before 1 January 2019 are as follows: Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when incurred. The accounting policy for leases after 1 January 2019 are as follows: When the Association is the lessee At the inception of the contract, the Association assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed. Right-of-use assets The Association recognised a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the date which the underlying asset is available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and lease incentive received. Any initial direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Right-of-use assets (except for those which meets the definition of an investment property) are p

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follow: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in note 22.
