Directors’ Report

Directors’ benefits

Neither at the end of the financial year, nor at any time during that year, did there subsist any arrangement to which the Company
was a party, whereby the directors might acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Company
or any other body corporate.

Since the end of the previous financial year, no director has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than benefits
included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by the directors as shown in Note 8 to the
financial statements or the fixed salary of a full-time employee of the Company) by reason of a contract made by the Company or
a related corporation with any director or with a firm of which the director is a member, or with a company in which the director
has a substantial financial interest.

The directors and officers of the Group and of the Company are covered by the Directors and Officers liability insurance for any
liability incurred in the discharge of their duties, provided that they have not acted fraudulently or dishonestly or derived any
personal profit or advantage. The insurance is maintained on a group basis and the total premium paid by the Group during the
current financial year amounted to RM105,200.

Directors’ interests

According to the register of directors’ shareholdings, none of the directors in office at the end of the financial year had any interest
in shares in the Company or its related corporations during the financial year.

Other statutory information

(a) Before the statements of profit or loss, statements of comprehensive income and statements of financial position of the
Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:

(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision
for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision
had been made for doubtful debts; and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their values as shown in the accounting records in the
ordinary course of business have been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

(b) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render:

(i) the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the financial statements of
the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; and

(ii) the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

Directors’ Report

Other statutory information (Cont’d.)

(c) At the date of this report, the directors are aware of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have an impact on certain values
attributed to current assets and valuation methods adopted by the Group and the Company.

(d) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial statements
misleading.

(e) At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which
secures the liabilities of any other person; or

(ii) any contingent liability of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

(f) In the opinion of the directors:

(i) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve
months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Group or of the Company to meet
their obligations when they fall due; and

(ii) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the
financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group
and of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

(g) Note 37(i) to the financial statements discussed the management steps to address the current impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Board of Directors is confident that based on the strategies and the funding plans, the Group will be in a
good stead to weather the current challenging environment.

Independent Auditors’ Report


To The Members of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial
position as at 31 December 2020 of the Group and of the Company, and statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended,
and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 16 to 157.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the
Company as at 31 December 2020, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year ended in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies
Act, 2016 in Malaysia.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.

Independence and other ethical responsibilities

We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and
Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided
in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section
of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to
respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures,
including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis of our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial statements.

Key audit matters (cont’d.)

Key audit matters in respect of audit of the financial statements of the Group

Impairment of intangible assets

The intangible assets represent a significant amount on the statement of financial position of the Group as disclosed in Note 14
to the financial statements. Under Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), the Group is required to test the amount
of intangible assets with finite useful life for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount whenever
there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. COVID-19 has resulted in challenging operating environments in
Malaysia and Turkey. This is an indication that the assets in Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn. Bhd. (“MA Sepang”), Malaysia Airports
Sdn. Bhd. (“Malaysia Airports”), and Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Uluslararasi Havalimani Yatirim Yapim ve Isletme A.S. (“ISG”) may
be impaired. Arising from the assessment, an impairment loss of RM500.4 million was recorded in respect of Turkey’s operations.

We focused on this area because the determination of whether or not an impairment charge for intangible assets is necessary
involves significant judgements by the directors about the future results of the business and assessment of future plans for the
Group’s assets.

Malaysia’s Operations

We evaluated the directors’ impairment assessment, which includes assessment of the cash flow forecasts and projections used in
the models, the process by which they were drawn up and testing the underlying calculations. We challenged:

• The key assumptions for long-term growth rates in the forecasts by comparing them to historical results, and economic and
industry forecasts; and
• The discount rate by assessing the cost of capital and that of comparable organisations.

We have also performed sensitivity analysis around the key drivers of the growth rates of the cash flow forecasts including the
revenue growth. We have assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the financial statements.

Turkey’s Operations

In addressing the risk, the Component team considered the objectivity, independence and expertise of the firm of independent
valuer engaged by the Company. We evaluated the Component team’s procedures, which included the evaluation of the directors’
impairment calculations, assessment of the cash flow forecasts and projections used in the models, and the process by which they
were drawn up and testing the underlying calculations. The Component team challenged:

• The key assumptions for long-term growth rates in the forecasts by comparing them to historical results, and economic and
industry forecasts which were supported by an independent valuation report; and
• The discount rate by assessing the cost of capital and that of comparable organisations.

The Component team also performed sensitivity analysis around the key drivers of growth rates of the cash flow forecasts,
including revenue growth. Having ascertained the extent of change in those assumptions that either individually or collectively
would be required for the assets to be impaired, the Component team considered the range of outcomes from changes to the
key assumptions. We have also assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the financial statements.

Key audit matters (cont’d.)

Key audit matters in respect of audit of the financial statements of the Group (cont’d.)

Litigation

The recognition and measurement of provisions and the measurement and disclosure of contingent liabilities in respect of litigation
requires significant judgement. We focused on this area due to the significance of potential provisions and the complexities in
assessing and measuring obligations resulting from ongoing legal matters.

We assessed the controls over the identification, evaluation and measurement of potential obligations arising from legal matters.
For matters identified, we considered whether an obligation exists, the appropriateness of provisions and/or disclosure based
upon the facts and circumstances available. In order to determine facts and circumstances, we performed a series of procedures
including the examination of litigation related documents and discussions with Group’s internal and external legal advisors. We
then assessed the directors’ conclusions and key judgements applied.

Additionally, we considered whether the Group’s disclosures of the application of judgement in estimating provisions and
contingent liabilities adequately reflected the uncertainties associated with litigation.

Amortisation of intangible assets

As at 31 December 2020, the net book value of intangible assets amounted to RM15.9 billion as disclosed in Note 14 to the
financial statements. The useful lives of the intangible assets are amortised on based on usage.

We focused on this area because the Group’s amortisation policy in respect of intangible assets are determined using the method
which reflects the asset’s usage based on passenger volume and usage of airport activities over the concession period which
involves significant judgements made by the directors.

Malaysia’s Operations

We evaluated the directors’ amortisation calculations, assessing the future passenger volume forecasts used in the models over
the extended operating period, and the process by which they were drawn up and testing the underlying calculations. In testing
the underlying calculations, we challenged the key assumptions for long-term growth rates of the passenger volumes in the
forecast by comparing them to historical actual results, and economic and industry forecasts.

We also evaluated directors’ estimates of the passenger growth and maximum capacity of passengers by taking into consideration
external studies and industry benchmarks.

Turkey’s Operations

We evaluated the Component team’s evaluation of the directors’ amortisation calculations and the process by which they were
drawn up and testing the underlying calculations. The Component team challenged the key assumptions for long-term growth
rates of the passenger volumes in the forecasts by comparing them to historical actual results, and economic and industry forecasts.

Key audit matters in respect of audit of the financial statements of the Group (cont’d.)

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s deferred tax assets amounted to RM465.0 million as disclosed in Note 22 to the financial
statements. We focused on this area as the recognition of these assets involves judgement by directors as to the likelihood of the
realisation of these deferred tax assets, which is based on a number of factors, including whether there will be sufficient taxable
profits in future periods to support recognition.

The assessment of future taxable profits is a complex process and required significant management’s judgements, in particular
the judgements applied in respect of the expected future economic conditions of the industry which impact the revenue growth
rates and operating costs of the Group.

Our procedures in relation to directors’ assessment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets included:

• Understanding and assessing the identification process of temporary differences and calculating deferred tax assets;
• Evaluating directors’ assessment on the sufficiency of future taxable profits in support of the recognition of deferred tax
assets by comparing director’s forecasts of future profits to historical results; and
• Evaluating the key assumptions applied in determining the profit forecasts and projections, supplemented by expectations
of the future economic conditions, business plans and approved budgets.

Key audit matters in respect of audit of the financial statements of the Company

Impairment assessment on investments in subsidiaries

The Company is required to perform an impairment test on its investments in subsidiaries whenever there is an indication that
these investments may be impaired.

There is an indication that the carrying amount of the Company’s cost of investments in subsidiaries may be impaired as the
entities had recorded losses during the year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on the impairment assessment performed by the management of the Company, there was no impairment loss recognised
on the investments in subsidiaries during the year.

We consider this to be an area of focus for our audit as the amounts involved are significant, the assessment process is complex
and involves significant management’s judgements about future market and economic conditions and changes in assumptions
may lead to a significant change in the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries.

Our procedures to address this area of focus included, amongst others, the following:

• Obtaining an understanding of the relevant process and controls over management’s assessment of the impairment of the
investments in subsidiaries;
• Evaluating the appropriateness of the methodology and approach applied; and
• Evaluating whether key assumptions were reasonable, taking into consideration the current and expected operating outlook
for the Group and its subsidiaries.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Company and our auditors’ report
thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the
Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to the directors of the Group and of the Company and take appropriate action.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that
give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s
and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

To The Members of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (cont’d.)

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we
exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Company’s
internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Group’s or the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company
to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (cont’d.)

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other matters

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act, 2016
in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all of the following:

- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation (cont’d.)

(i) Subsidiaries (cont’d.)

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less
impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and
their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.

(ii) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries
as at 31 December 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers
all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

- The contractual arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee;
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
- The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins
when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the
subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year
are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the
date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity
holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation (cont’d.)

(ii) Basis of consolidation (cont’d.)

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

- Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;


- Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
- Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
- Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
- Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
- Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
- Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or
retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the
related assets or liabilities.

(b) Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or joint venture, in which the Group has significant influence.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee,
but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of
an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of
the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to
determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in associates or joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Under the equity method, the investment in associate or joint venture is measured in the consolidated statement
of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or
joint venture. Goodwill relating to associate or joint venture included in the carrying amount of the investment
and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair
value of the associate or joint venture identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of
the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in
the determination of the Group’s share of the associate or joint venture profit or loss for the period in which
investment is acquired.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(b) Investments in associates and joint ventures (cont’d.)

The statements of profit or loss reflect the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint
venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there
has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises
its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent
of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of
the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling
interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the
Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment
loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether
there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such
evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount
of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures
and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the
associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained
investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

(c) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible
assets acquired in a business combination is their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible
assets with finite lives are amortised on usage based method and assessed for impairment whenever there
is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation
method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each reporting date.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(c) Intangible assets (cont’d.)

(i) Concession rights

(a) Airport operation rights in Malaysia

As disclosed in Note 1.2, the Group signed Operating Agreements on 12 February 2009 for a
period of 25 years ending 2034 (which was further extended for an additional 35 years ending 2069)
and the consideration paid to the GoM is classified as concession rights.

The Group’s amortisation policy in respect of the Operating Agreements is determined on the
method reflecting the asset’s usage based on passengers volume to reflect the usage of airport
activities over the concession period. The current amortisation used shall reflect the pattern in
which the concession’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group and
is applied consistently from period to period, unless there is a change in the expected pattern of
consumption of those future economic benefits.

(b) Airport operations right in Turkey

As disclosed in Note 1.3, ISG via the Implementation Agreement signed with the Administration
has given the rights to operate ISGIA for the period of 22 years commencing 1 May 2008. On 20
October 2017, ISG has signed an additional agreement with the Administration and gained an
additional right to operate Facility for an extended period of 2.5 years, until 27 August 2032.

The right to charge users of an airport for services is recognised as an intangible asset. The airport
operations right is initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of Utilisation Fee liability at the
date of transfer of control of the ISGIA to ISG and the fair value of other consideration transferred
to acquire the asset, which is the fair value of the consideration receivable for the construction
services delivered. ISG estimates the fair value of the consideration receivable to be equal to the
construction costs, plus 10% margin. Other costs (including travel and consultancy costs) incurred
in regards to the project covered by the Implementation Agreement are regarded as part of the
consideration paid by ISG, and therefore included in the cost of airport operations right. The airport
has been operational since 31 October 2009.

The airport operations right is amortised over the operation period, starting from the date the right is
available for use. Accordingly, ISG started to amortise the first phase of the airport operations right,
cost of which is measured as the fair value of Utilisation Fees payable, on 1 May 2008 (for extended
period of 2 years on 15 October 2009), whereas the second phase, cost of which is measured as
the fair value of the consideration receivable for the construction services delivered started to be
amortised following the completion of the construction by November 2009. ISG’s amortisation policy
in respect of airport operations right is determined based on the method reflecting the asset’s usage
based on passengers volume to reflect the usage of airport activities over the operation period.
Amortisation method and underlying assumptions are reviewed for validity at each period.

(c) Intangible assets (cont’d.)

(i) Concession rights (cont’d.)

(b) Airport operations right in Turkey (cont’d.)

The concession rights also includes identifiable intangible asset of SGC Havalimani Isletmeleri
Ticaret ve Turizm A.S. (SGC) (formerly known as LGM) long-term service contract with ISG to operate
the food and beverage operations, CIP lounges and the hotel. The contract expired at the end of
2019 and MAHB intends to extend this contract until the end of the operation period in 2030, which
was further extended for an additional 2.5 years ending 2032.

(ii) Infrastructure and construction assets

Infrastructure and construction assets comprise of assets which are constructed by the Group in exchange
for the right of the Group to charge users of the public service infrastructure that it has constructed or
upgraded and are stated at the fair value of construction services delivered including certain mark-up on
the actual costs incurred and are amortised over the respective economic useful lives. The capital work
in progress relating to these assets is not amortised until the assets are fully completed and brought
to use. Similar to concession rights, the infrastructure and construction assets are amortised based on
passengers volume and usage of airport activities over the operation period.

The Group’s amortisation policy in respect of infrastructure and construction assets are determined on the
method reflecting the asset’s usage based on passenger volume and usage of airport activities over the
operation period. The current amortisation used shall reflect the pattern in which the concession’s future
economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group and is applied consistently from period
to period, unless there is a change in the expected pattern of consumption of those future economic
benefits.

(d) Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives, unit trusts, at fair value at each reporting date.
Fair values of financial instruments are disclosed in Note 19.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or


- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(d) Fair value measurement (cont’d.)

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.

The Group’s valuation committee determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value
measurement, such as unquoted financial assets, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for
distribution in discontinued operation. The valuation committee comprises of the heads of the Group’s internal
mergers and acquisition team, the head of the risk management department and chief financial officer.

At each reporting date, the valuation committee analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities
which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies. For this analysis,
the valuation committee verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in
the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(d) Fair value measurement (cont’d.)

The valuation committee, in conjunction with the Group’s external valuers, also compares the changes in
the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is
reasonable.

On an interim basis, the valuation committee and the Group’s external valuers present the valuation results to
the audit committee and the Group’s independent auditors. This includes a discussion of the major assumptions
used in the valuations.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the
asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment losses.

Capital work-in-progress comprises the construction of buildings, renovation in-progress and other assets
which have not been commissioned. Capital work-in-progress is not depreciated.

Capital work-in-progress is capitalised in accordance with MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and is
recognised as an asset when:

(i) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the enterprise;

(ii) the cost of the asset to the enterprise can be measured reliably; and

(iii) ready for its intended use.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d.)

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the
cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:

Freehold land Not depreciated


Leasehold land Over lease period
Buildings and building renovation 2% - 20%
Hotel property 2%
Infrastructure, safety equipment and motor vehicles 4% - 50%
Office, communication and electronic equipment 10% - 50%
Furniture and fittings 10% - 20%
Plant and machinery 10% - 20%
Crockery, glassware, cutlery and linen 20%
Capital improvements 13%
Plantation development expenditure 4%

All property, plant and equipment located on Government leasehold land are depreciated over the estimated
useful life or the remaining concession period whichever is earlier.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that
the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern
of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net
carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

(f) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to
determine the amount of impairment loss. For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible
assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date or more
frequently when indicators of impairment are identified.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(f) Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d.)

For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount 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, recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the
asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each
of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination,
irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups
of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups
of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata
basis.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an asset other
than goodwill is reversed only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other
than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is
recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated
as a revaluation increase.

(g) Inventories

Inventories relating to merchandise goods and food and beverages are stated at the lower of cost (determined
on a weighted average basis) and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises cost of purchase of goods.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to be incurred in marketing,
selling and distribution. Other inventories that are not for resale and for consumption purpose are classified as
spares and consumables.

(h) Biological assets

Biological assets comprise of produce growing on bearer plants. Biological assets are classified as current
assets and measured at fair value for bearer plants that are expected to be harvested and sold or used for
production on a date not more than 1 month after the reporting date.

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair
value less costs to sell are recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Planting development expenditure

New planting expenditure incurred on land clearing and upkeep of trees is capitalised under plantations.

Amortisation of plantation development expenditure is at a rate of 4% per annum.

(j) Replanting expenditure

Replanting expenditure incurred during the year is recognised in the income statement. Replanting expenditure
represents the total cost incurred from land clearing to the point of harvesting.

(k) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that
do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient,
the Group initially 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. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component
or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined
under MFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs
to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual
cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Notes to the Financial Statements


31 December 2020

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(k) Financial assets (cont’d.)

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation
or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if
both of the following conditions are met:

- The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order
to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method
and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is
derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade and other receivables, employee loans and
cash and cash equivalents.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets
designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily
required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired
for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets with cash flows that are not
solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss,
irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at
amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated
at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an
accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair
value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

This category includes quoted unit trust and bonds in Malaysia.

(k) Financial assets (cont’d.)

(iii) Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position) when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
- The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
pass-through arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of
ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the
asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to
the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the
lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Group could be required to repay.

(l) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at
fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due
in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an
approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the
sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The
ECLs is based on lifetime expected credit losses. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but
instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established
a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors
specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

(l) Impairment of financial assets (cont’d.)

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payment are 30 days past due. However, in
certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into
account any credit enhancements held by the Group.

(m) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivative financial instruments are recognised and measured at fair value on the date a derivative contract
is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the
statement of profit or loss at each reporting date. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends
on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The Group designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities (fair
value hedge) or hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability (cash flow hedge).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments
and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging
transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of hedged items.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining
maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining
maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or
liability.

(i) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are
recorded in the statement of profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset
or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Group applies fair value hedge accounting for
hedging fixed interest risk on borrowings. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate
swaps hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in the statement of profit or loss within ‘finance cost’.
The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the statement of profit or loss within
‘other gains or losses - net’. Changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to
interest rate risk are recognised in the statement of profit or loss within ‘finance cost’.

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of
a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to the statement of profit or
loss over the period to maturity.

(m) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (cont’d.)

(ii) Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow
hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in the statements of profit or loss within ‘other gains or losses - net’.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the statements of profit or loss in the periods when the
hedged item affects the statements of profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of
cross currency interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in the statements of profit
or loss within ‘finance cost’.

When a hedging instrument matures, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the
hedged item is ultimately recognised in the statements of profit or loss.

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and
short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks
and deposits.

(o) Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(i) As lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(o) Leases (cont’d.)

(i) As lessee (cont’d.)

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying
asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use
assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments
made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term of the assets, as follows:

Airport equipment 3-12 years


Office equipment 3 years
Motor vehicles 3-5 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.4(f).

The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally,
the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets and these contracts do not
require the Group to maintain certain financial ratios.

The Group’s right-of-use assets are included in Note 13.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities at the present value of
lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including
in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend
on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

The lease also includes exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising
the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised
as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(o) Leases (cont’d.)

(i) As lessee (cont’d.)

Lease liabilities (cont’d.)

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at
the lease commencement date or the interest rate implicit if it is determine in the contract. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured
if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to
future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a
change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Group’s lease liabilities are included in Note 32.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e. those leases
have a lease term of 12 months or less). The Group also applies the leases of low-value assets recognition
exemption to leases of airports and office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments
on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.

(ii) As lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis
over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

(p) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the
activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing
costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended
use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist
of interest and other costs that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

(q) Contract assets and contract liabilities

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If
the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or
before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received
the consideration or has billed the customer. In the case of construction contracts, contract liability is the excess
of the billings to-date over the cumulative revenue earned. Contract liabilities include downpayments received
from customers and other deferred income where the Group has billed or has collected the payment before the
goods are delivered or services are provided to the customers.

(r) Income tax and zakat

(i) Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised
outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:

- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be
controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(r) Income tax and zakat (cont’d.)

(ii) Deferred tax (cont’d.)

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax
losses can be utilised except:

- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time
of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that
it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax
assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on
acquisition.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

(iii) Zakat

Zakat payable by the Group and the Company is a form of contribution according to the principles of
Shariah.

(s) Provisions for liabilities

Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation as a result
of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money
is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as finance cost.

(t) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and
the definitions of a financial liability.

Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 9, are recognised in the statements of financial position when,
and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial
instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or
other financial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities

The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and
borrowings.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised,
and through the amortisation process.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts
is recognised in profit or loss.

(u) Concession liabilities

Concession liabilities are in respect of concession contracts and are recognised for the following
arrangements:

(i) Annual charges and land usage charges payable to GoM; and

(ii) Privatisation of the Development of a Generation Plant at klia2.

(v) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year
in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short-term accumulating
compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by
employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short-term non-
accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed
contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further
contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to
employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an
expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions
to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). For companies in Turkey, the contributions are made to a publicly
administered Social Security Fund.

(iii) Defined benefit plans

In accordance with the existing social legislation in Turkey, ISG and SGC (formerly known as LGM) are
required to make lump-sum termination indemnities to each employee who has completed one year of
service and whose employment is terminated due to retirement or for reasons other than resignation or
misconduct.

Provision for unemployment termination benefits is provided as requirement of Turkish Labour Law to
each employee who has completed one year of service and retires, whose employment is terminated
without due cause, who is called up for military service, or who dies; and represents the present value of
the estimated total reserve of the future probable obligation of the Group.

(iii) Defined benefit plans (cont’d.)

Malaysia Airports Consultancy Services Middle East L.L.C. (MACS ME) provides end of service benefits to
its expatriate employees in accordance with Qatar Labour Law. The entitlement to these benefits is based
upon the employees’ final salary and length of service, subject to the completion of minimum service
period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment.

(w) Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated
financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Company’s functional
currency.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are
translated at exchange rates ruling at the statement of financial position date. All exchange differences are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss within the category of foreign exchange gain or loss.

(iii) Foreign operations

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements are translated into RM as follows:

- Assets and liabilities for each statements of financial position presented are translated at the closing
rate prevailing at the reporting date;
- Income and expenses for each profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates for the year,
which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and
- All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as
assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign
operations and translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.

activities at KLIA and other airports in Malaysia that involves the use of airport infrastructure, assets provided
by or financed by the GoM or land belonging to the GoM. The User Fee increases over time by 0.25% per
annum and is payable on quarterly basis and increases further depending on the capital expenditure borne by
the GoM based on the criteria set out in the Operating Agreements. The revenue base used in calculating the
User Fee does not include any construction revenue, reimbursements, interest income, recovery of bad debt or
inter-company transactions.

(y) Utilisation Fee

The Utilisation Fee liability represents the present value of amounts payable to the Administration in accordance
with the Implementation Agreement for the operation of the ISGIA for 20 years plus 22 months of extension
period. In the previous year, ISG has obtained a second extension of the Implementation Agreement for another
2.5 years to year 2032. The Utilisation Fee liability is discounted to present value, at a rate of 8.6% for payments
until 2014, and at a rate of 9% for the remaining payments, whereas the payments for first extension period is
discounted to present value at a rate of 10.5% and the payments for the second extension period is discounted
to present value at a rate of 8.55%.

(z) Revenue recognition

Under MFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

(i) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership
to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(iii) Revenue from services

Revenue from airport operations and horticulture services rendered are recognised net of goods and
service taxes and discounts as and when the services are performed.

Revenue from contracts are recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the reporting date.
Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total
estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably,
revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

(iv) Marginal Cost Support Sum (MARCS)

Under the Operating Agreements, the GoM shall assist the Group in bearing its socio-economic
obligations by compensating the Group with a MARCS for marginal losses suffered, arising from the
undertaking of socio-economic activities and GoM policies.

(z) Revenue recognition (cont’d.)

(iv) Marginal Cost Support Sum (MARCS) (cont’d.)

The MARCS support is recognised in the financial statements throughout the concession year as revenue
when recovery is probable and the amount that is recoverable can be measured reliably. Further details
are disclosed in Notes 1.2 and 3.

As stipulated in the Operating Agreement, the Benchmark Passenger Service Charge (PSC) rate is
revised every 5 years based on the agreed calculation. The 3rd Tariff Cycle revision became effective on
12 February 2019. MARCS PSC of RM51,692,000 (2019: RM74,208,000) was recognised during the year for
the difference between actual PSC and Benchmark PSC rate.

Apart from this, included in MARCS is MARCS Express Rail Link (MARCS ERL) as disclosed in Note 3.

(v) Revenue from hotel operations

Revenue from rental of hotel rooms, sale of food and beverages and other related income are recognised
when the services are performed.

(vi) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

(vii) Construction revenue

Under such concession agreements, the Group is engaged to build, operate and construct airport
buildings and related infrastructure. The Group recognises construction revenue over time as the project
being constructed has no alternative uses to the Group and it has an enforceable right to the payment
for performance completed to date. The stage of completion is measured using the input method, which
is based on the total actual construction cost incurred to date as compared to the total budgeted costs
for the respective construction projects. Where the outcome of the construction cannot be estimated
reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of construction costs incurred if it is probable that they will
be recoverable. Construction costs are recognised as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

(aa) Disposal groups classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

A component of the Group is classified as a ‘discontinued operation’ when the criteria to be classified as
held for sale have been met or it has been disposed of and such a component represents a separate major
line of business or geographical area of operations or is part of a single coordinated major line of business or
geographical area of operations. A component is deemed to be held for sale if its carrying amounts will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

(aa) Disposal groups classified as held for sale and discontinued operations (cont’d.)

Upon classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are not depreciated and are
measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are recognised in
profit or loss.

(ab) Concession contracts

A substantial portion of the Group’s assets are used within the framework of concession contracts/Operating
Agreements granted by the GoM (the grantor). The characteristics of the Operating Agreements generally
provide, directly or indirectly, for customer involvement in the determination of the service and its remuneration,
and the return of the assets necessary to the performance of the service at the end of the contract.

In order to fall within the scope of concession contract, a contract must satisfy the following two criteria:

- The grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure/assets,
to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and
- The grantor controls the significant residual interest in the infrastructure/assets at the end of the term of
the arrangement.

Such assets are not recognised by the Group as property, plant and equipment but as intangible assets as
described in Note 2.4(c)(i) and (ii). The intangible asset model applies where the operator is paid by the users or
where the concession grantor has not provided a contractual guarantee in respect of the amount recoverable.
The intangible asset corresponds to the right granted by the concession grantor to the operator to charge users
of the public service.

Intangible assets resulting from the application of this policy are recorded in the statement of financial position
under the heading ‘Intangible assets’ and are amortised on the method reflecting the asset’s usage based on
passengers volume to reflect the usage of airports activities over the concession period. Under the intangible
asset model, revenue includes revenue from the construction of the infrastructure/assets and operating revenue
of the infrastructure.

(ac) IC Interpretation 12 - Service Concession Arrangements

IC Interpretation 12 - Service Concession Arrangements (IC 12) adopted by the Group applies to contractual
arrangements whereby a private sector operator participates in the development, financing, operation and
maintenance of infrastructure for public sector services. Depending on the contractual terms, this interpretation
requires the operator to recognise a financial asset if it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or
an intangible asset if it receives a right (license) to charge users of the public service. Some contractual terms
may give rise to both a financial asset and an intangible asset.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(ac) IC Interpretation 12 - Service Concession Arrangements (cont’d.)

The IC 12 considered the nature of the rights conveyed to the operator in a service concession arrangement. It
first examined whether the infrastructure used to provide public services could be classified as property, plant
and equipment of the operator under MFRS 116. It started from the principle that infrastructure used to provide
public services should be recognised as property, plant and equipment of the party that controls its use. This
principle determines which party should recognise the property, plant and equipment as its own.

The interpretation also concluded that treatment of infrastructure that the operator constructs or acquires or to
which the grantor gives the operator access for the purpose of the service arrangement should be determined
by whether the grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure,
to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and the grantor control through ownership, beneficial
entitlement or otherwise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the
arrangement.

Under IC 12, the operator may provide construction services to the grantor in exchange for an intangible asset,
i.e. a right to collect revenue in accordance with the Operating Agreements. In accordance with MFRS 138
Intangible Assets, the operator recognises the intangible asset at its fair value. The fair value of the intangible
asset is calculated by including a certain mark-up on the actual cost incurred, estimated to reflect a margin
consistent where possible with other similar construction works.

In addition, pursuant to the Airport Facilities Arrangement (AFA) where the agreement is dependent on a
specified asset, the Group recognised an asset and a liability at an amount equal to the value of the underlying
asset as determined in the AFA and subsequently the liability shall be reduced as payments are made and an
imputed finance charge on the liability recognised using the purchaser’s incremental borrowing rate of interest.

(ad) Equity instruments and related expenses

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the
Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares and Perpetual Sukuk are classified as equity
instruments.

Dividends on ordinary shares and distribution on Perpetual Sukuk are recognised in equity in the period in
which they are declared.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity
transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction
which would otherwise have been avoided.

2.5 Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements require management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, the
accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Although these estimates and judgements are
based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ. The most significant
uses of judgements and estimates are as follows:

(i) Amortisation of concession rights and infrastructure and construction assets

The carrying amount of the concession rights and infrastructure and construction assets are amortised over the
concession period determined by the method where the amortisation method used shall reflect the pattern
which the concession’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group based on the
expected number of passengers and the utilisation of the airports over the concession period.

The variable factors in determining the estimated amortisation includes projected total number of passengers
for subsequent years to the end of concession period. The assumptions to arrive at the passenger volume
projections and usage of airports also take into consideration the growth rate based on current market and
economic conditions. Changes in the expected passenger volume and usage of airports could impact future
amortisation charges.

(ii) Revenue recognition

Significant judgement is applied to determine the accrued revenue for aeronautical debtors based on the
number of airlines, landing, parking, aerobridge, counter check-in and timing of billings.

As at reporting date, the amount of accrued revenue for aeronautical debtors as disclosed in Note 20 comprised
approximately 1% (2019: 2%) of the total revenue.

(iii) Land use rights

The Group has assessed that the previous amount paid was in relation to the rights to occupy the land leased
by the Federal Land Commissioner, and accordingly the prepaid land lease payments was classified as right-
of-use assets.

(iv) Contingent liabilities - litigation

As disclosed in the Note 35(b), the Group has several pending litigations with various parties as at current
financial year end. The Group, after due consultation with the Group’s solicitors, assesses the merit of each case,
and makes the necessary provision for liabilities in the financial statements if their crystallisation are deemed as
probable.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

2.5 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont’d.)

(v) Impairment of intangible assets

The Group tests periodically whether the intangible assets is required to be impaired, by measuring the recoverable
amount of the CGU based on the value in use method, which requires the use of estimates of future cash flow
projections, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Changes to the assumptions used by management,
particularly the discount rate and the terminal value, may affect the results of the impairment assessment.

(vi) Expected credit losses (ECL)

The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECL. The ECL is based on lifetime expected credit losses.
The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for
forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

(vii) Valuation of unquoted investments designated as FVTPL

As the fair value of the investments designated as FVTPL cannot be derived from active market, fair value is
determined using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where
possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. The
judgements include considerations of inputs such as discount for lack of marketability. Changes in assumptions
about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

(viii) Income taxes

Significant estimation is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions
and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be
due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised,
such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination
is made.

(ix) Deferred taxation

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and other
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the losses, capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant
management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised,
based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Further details are contained in Note 22.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

2.5 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont’d.)

(x) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (investments) are for a long-term basis and the Group
and the Company determine whether the carrying amounts of its investments are impaired at least on an annual
basis at reporting date. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the CGU which is attributable to those
investments. Estimating a value in use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected
future cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present
value of those cash flows.

(xi) Concession liabilities

As disclosed in Notes 2.4(u) and 2.4(ac), the Group recognised an asset and a liability at an amount equal to
the fair value of the underlying asset as determined in the agreement and subsequently the liability shall be
reduced when payments are made.

The imputed finance charges estimated are as follows:

(i) Annual charges and land usage charges payable to GoM

6.0% per annum over the period of 60 years ending 2069. Had the estimation of the finance charge
increase or decrease by 10% of the discount rate used, the net interest charged would be higher by
approximately RM75,000 or lower by RM104,000 respectively.

(ii) Privatisation of the Development of a Generation Plant at klia2

5.5% per annum over the period of 20 years ending 2033. Had the estimation of the finance charge
increase or decrease by 10% of the discount rate used, the net interest charged would be higher by
approximately RM1,852,000 or lower by RM1,811,000 respectively.

(xii) Financial liability relating to the Utilisation Fee recognised in ISG

The Utilisation Fee liability represents the present value of amounts payable to the Administration in accordance
with the Implementation Agreement for the operation of the ISGIA for 20 years plus 22 months of extension
period, being the first extension period. In the previous year, ISG has obtained second extension period of 2.5
years after the first extension period ended. The Utilisation Fee liability is discounted to present value, at a rate
of 8.6% for payments until 2014, and at a rate of 9% for the remaining payments, whereas the payments for first
extension period is discounted to present value at a rate of 10.5% and the payments for the second extension
period is discounted to present value at a rate of 8.55%.

(xiii) Biological assets

The fair value of biological assets are computed based on the estimated quantity of fresh fruits bunches (FFBs)
forecasted and the observable current market price of FFBs at each point of fair value.

(b) Diluted

Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period is the number of ordinary shares
outstanding at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the number of ordinary shares issued during the period
multiplied by a time-weighing factor. The time-weighing factor is the number of days that the shares are outstanding

Impairment test

(i) In the current financial year, the Group recognised impairment loss on ISG concession rights amounting to
EUR102,300,000 an amount equivalent to RM500,380,000 due to the adverse contraction of passenger traffic impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key assumptions used in Value In Use calculation (VIU) are as follows:

The recoverable amounts of the concession rights of ISG have been determined based on Value-In-Use (VIU)
calculation using cashflow projection covering a 12-year period until the end of the concession period 27 August
2032.

(a) Traffic projection

Traffic projection is based on external market study by an independent consultant and internal assessment
taking into consideration impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

(b) Revenue growth

Management has taken into consideration the traffic projection, passenger service fees and other non-
aeronautical revenue in determining the revenue growth of ISGIA.

(c) Forecast margin

Operation margins are based on management’s expectation and past experience of the airport terminal
operational cost structure.

(d) Discount rate

The discount rate used reflects the specific risk relating to the airport industry. The post-tax discounted rate
used by the Group is 10.20% (2019: 9.20%).

(ii) No impairment loss is recognised during the year for concession rights in Malaysia’s operation based on the cash flow
forecasts. Furthermore, as disclosed in Note 1.2, the long term operating period up to 2069 will allow adequate time
to ensure the viability of the business as well as cushion the impact on COVID-19.

Unquoted shares of RM210,705,000 (2019: RM214,374,000) of the Group are pledged as security in respect of certain
agreements entered into by the Group.

* On 2 February 2018, the Group has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with GMR Airports Limited
(Purchaser or GMR Airports), for the disposal of all the 41,580,000 equity shares of INR10 each which represents
11% of the total issued and paid-up share capital GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) to GMR
Airports, for a cash consideration of USD76,050,000, equivalent to RM314,806,000 subject to the terms and
conditions contained in the SPA (Proposed Disposal).

On 2 January 2019, MAHB announced that the SPA in relation to the Proposed Disposal of its entire 11% equity
interest in GHIAL has been automatically terminated due to failure of the Purchaser to complete their obligation in
accordance with the terms of the SPA by 31 December 2018.

On 10 December 2019, GMR Infrastructure Limited, the holding company of GMR Airports, had expressed their
interest in writing to acquire MAHB’s entire equity interest in GHIAL. However, during the year, MAHB had ceased
its intention to dispose due to changes in circumstances as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. The fair value of the
investment is arrived via valuation performed by certified external valuers based on the market approach, specifically
the guideline public company method (GPCM).

19. Fair value measurement

The disclosure provides information on fair value measurements for both financial instruments and non-financial assets and
liabilities and is structured as follows:

(a) Valuation principles;


(b) Valuation technique;
(c) Fair value measurements and classification within the fair value hierarchy; and
(d) Movements of Level 3 instruments.

(a) Valuation principles

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market as of measurement date.

Disclosure of fair value measurements are by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1
Quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2
Inputs other than quoted price included within Level 1 that are observable for asset or liability, either directly (i.e.
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3
Valuation techniques for which significant inputs are not based on observable market data.

(b) Valuation technique

The valuation technique used for the financial instruments not determined by reference to quoted prices (Level 1) are
described below:

Quoted bond and quoted unit trust

The fair value of financial assets are determined by reference to prices quoted by independent data providers and
independent brokers.

Unquoted equity shares

The fair value of financial asset is derived from market approach using available market multiples derived from
guideline public companies method (GPCM).

The ageing analysis of the Group’s total trade receivables, but excluding accrued revenue and contract asset is as
follows:

Current 164,173 426,017

193,086 150,474
Impaired 243,009 161,687
600,268 738,178

Receivables that are neither past due nor impaired

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment records with
the Group. More than 65% (2019: 60%) of the Group’s trade receivables arise from customers with more than 5 years of
experience with the Group.

None of the Group’s trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have been renegotiated during the financial
year.

Receivables that are impaired

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure ECL. The provision rates
are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments. ECLs are based on the difference between the
contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The
shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s original effective interest rate.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payment are 30 days past due. However, in certain cases,
the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group
is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held
by the Group.

Receivables that are impaired (cont’d.)

The impact of COVID-19 on the recoverability of receivables from tenants and airlines have been considered. While the
methodologies and assumptions applied in the base ECL calculations remained unchanged from those applied in the
prior year financial year, the Company has introduced a number of support measures for customers impacted by COVID-19
pandemic, which include temporary extension of credit term and rental rebates for eligible tenants and airlines. Accordingly,
the ECL was adjusted to reflect the impact of the credit period extension and rebates which was off set against trade
receivables balances before ECL assessment.

20. Trade and other receivables (cont’d.)

(a) Credit risk

The Group’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables. The Group’s trading terms with its
customers are mainly on credit. The credit period is generally for a period of one month, extending up to three
months for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks to maintain strict control
over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to monitor the Group’s credit risk.

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group temporarily extended the credit terms to specific customers
with liquidity constraints arising as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All extensions were granted within
current sales limits after careful consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the creditworthiness of the
customer and each customer that was granted an extension is closely monitored for credit deterioration.

Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management and bears interest at 1% (2019: 1%) per month on
overdue balances. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the credit control department has also been performing
more frequent reviews of receivables for customers in regions and industries that are severely impacted. As at
reporting date, the concentration of credit risk in the form of outstanding balances is mainly due to six (2019: six)
customers representing approximately 65% (2019: 56%) of the total trade receivables.

(b) Amounts due from subsidiaries

(i) Current

Amounts due from subsidiaries are non-interest bearing and are repayable on demand. All related parties
receivables are unsecured and are to be settled in cash.

(ii) Non-current

Amount due from a subsidiary is unsecured and bear interest at 4.65% (2019: 4.83%) per annum.

(c) Sundry receivables (Non-current)

Included in sundry receivables is Value Added Tax (VAT) receivable of RM89,126,000 (2019: RM41,996,000) classified
as long-term receivables. These amounts arose from the Utilisation Fee liability to the Administration, and will not be
refunded in cash or allowed to offset against other tax liabilities. ISG will be offsetting these long-term receivables
when it generates such a level of revenue that the VAT payable arising would exceed VAT paid for other operational
and investing activities.

This relates to the discount on acquisition of non-controlling interest in prior years.

(ii) Legal reserve

(1) In accordance with Qatar Commercial Companies’ Law No. 11 of 2015, (the Qatari Law) and the Articles
of Association of MACS ME, 10% of the MACS ME’s profit for the period is required to be transferred to
a Legal Reserve until such time the reserve equals 50% of MACS ME’s paid-up capital. This reserve is not
available for distribution except in the circumstances stipulated under the Qatari Law.

(2) According to Turkish Commercial Code (TCC), legal reserve comprise first and second legal reserves.
The first legal reserve is generated by annual appropriations amounting to 5% of income disclosed in
the SGC’s (formerly known as LGM) statutory accounts until it reaches 20% of paid-in share capital. If the
dividend distribution is made in accordance with Dividend Distribution Communique II-19.1, a further
1/10 of dividend distributions, in excess of 5% of paid-in capital is to be appropriated to increase second
legal reserve. If the dividend distribution is made in accordance with statutory records, a further 1/11 of
dividend distributions, in excess of 5% of paid-in capital is to be appropriated to increase second legal
reserve. Under the TCC, the legal reserves can be used only to offset losses and are not available for any
other usage unless they exceed 50% of paid-in capital. As at 31 December 2020, total legal reserves in
SGC (formerly known as LGM) amounts to EUR874,000 equivalent to RM4,318,000 (2019: EUR874,000,
equivalent to RM4,012,000).

(iii) Actuarial loss on retirement benefits

Under the Turkish Labor Law, ISG is required to pay termination benefits to each employee who has completed
one year of service and whose employment is terminated without due cause, is called up for military service,
or who retires or resigns. The indemnity is one month’s salary for each working year and is limited to TL7,117,
equivalent to EUR743 or RM3,670 (2019: TL6,380, equivalent to EUR1,008 or RM4,627).

ISG made calculation for the retirement pay liability by applying the prescribed liability method, by the
experiences and by considering the personnel who become eligible for pension. This provision is calculated
by expecting the present value of the future liability which will be paid for the retired personnel. The provision
has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of ISG arising from the
retirement of employees. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions have been used in the calculation of
the total liability:

2020 2019

Discount ratio 4.00% 4.00%

35. Financial guarantees and contingencies (cont’d.)

(a) Guarantees (cont’d.)

(ii) ISG has given 17 letters of guarantee to Tax Authority in Turkey for Value Added Tax (VAT) refund amounting to
EUR1,361,000, equivalent to RM6,723,000 (2019: EUR1,198,000, equivalent to RM5,499,000).

(iii) As of 31 December 2020, SGC (formerly known as LGM) has given a letter of guarantee to Havaalani Isletme
ve Havacilik Endustrileri A.S. (HEAS) amounting to EUR407,000, equivalent to RM2,011,000 (2019: EUR447,000,
equivalent to RM2,052,000) for the rental of the hangar operations.

(iv) MACS has provided the following guarantees for customers of MACS ME:

(a) Performance Bank Guarantee totalling to QAR41,250,000, equivalent to RM45,561,000 (2019:


QAR35,361,000, equivalent to RM39,604,000).

(b) Parent Company Guarantee (PCG) to guarantee the performance of obligations and liabilities of MACS
ME under contract for Facility Management Services for Airport Operational Facilities and Ancillary
Buildings.

The Group has assessed the guarantee contracts and concluded that the guarantees are more likely not to be called
upon and accordingly not recognised as financial liability as at 31 December 2020.

(b) Contingent liabilities

(i) Tax Authorities of Turkey has requested ISG to revise the Value Added Tax (VAT) refund requests and apply a
different methodology for the periods from 1 July 2012 to 30 September 2014. ISG has submitted the revised
refund request and filed the court case contesting the claim arising out of the revised refund request as the
management of ISG is of the opinion that the initial refund request for the said period is valid. The Court
decided that the tax office cannot reject ISG’s calculation without conducting a tax investigation therefore the
litigations are concluded in favour of ISG and ISG collected the missing VAT refund amounts. The tax office took
a further action at Supreme Court level and in the meantime carried out comprehensive VAT audits for ISG in
year 2016 and 2017 covering periods from 2012 to 2014.

The tax auditors claimed a principal of TL7,100,000, equivalent to EUR741,000 or RM3,661,000, late payment
interest of TL5,500,000, equivalent to EUR574,000 or RM2,836,000 and tax penalties of TL10,700,000, equivalent
to EUR1,117,000 or RM5,518,000 for that tax issue mentioned above. ISG has booked a provision of late
payment interest TL5,500,000, equivalent to EUR574,000 or RM2,836,000 in statement of profit or loss for the
year 2017.

ISG applied to the Tax Authority for settlement of the tax penalty. However, the Tax Authority postponed the
ISG’s settlement date and informed ISG to wait for the Tax Amnesty Law which was enacted and published in
the Official Gazette on 18 May 2018.

(b) Contingent liabilities (cont’d.)

(i) (cont’d.)
ISG applied for Tax Amnesty on 26 July 2018 and received the confirmation for the application from Tax Authority
on 9 August 2018. On 17 September 2018, ISG paid TL3,500,000, equivalent to EUR365,000 or RM1,803,000
which is half of the principal amount (TL7,100,000, equivalent to EUR741,000 or RM3,661,000) and increased
VAT receivables carried forward and paid an additional TL99,700, equivalent to EUR10,000 or RM49,000 for the
late payment interest. The tax penalty has been waived by the Tax Authority and ISG has reversed the provision
amounting to EUR1,341,000, equivalent to RM6,625,000 in 2018.

The Supreme Court rendered a decision of reversal on 13 December 2018 stating that the VAT should not be
refunded in accordance with the related regulations. Subsequently, ISG appealed to the Supreme Court with
the request of revision of the reversed judgement based on a ruling of Constitutional Court dated 27 February
2019. The final decision from the Supreme Court is still pending. If the Supreme Court’s ruling will be against
ISG, ISG may have to pay the original tax base amount together with interest although benefited from the
Tax Amnesty. If such a case occurs in the future ISG may have to pay the original tax amount of TL7,100,000,
equivalent to EUR741,000 or RM3,661,000 plus interest and apply for the deduction of the TL3,600,000,
equivalent to EUR376,000 or RM1,857,000 tax amnesty payment from the total payable amount.

The TL7,100,000, equivalent to EUR741,000 or RM3,661,000 tax base amount will be added to the VAT receivables
in the statement of financial position that will be carried forward and recovered in the following years.

In addition to that, on 23 December 2016, a Special Consumption Tax (SCT) audit has been started for the
periods 2011, 2012, 2013 against ISG about jet fuel sales. ISG is not a SCT payer since jet fuel is exempted from
SCT. ISG has experienced cases of jet fuel theft in 2012 and was challenged by the tax authorities that stolen jet
fuel shall be regarded as a SCT base fuel. As a result of that, Special Consumption Tax exposure inclusive of tax
base charge, late payment interest charges and tax penalties amount to TL700,000, equivalent to EUR73,000 or
RM361,000 has been booked as a provision in the ISG’s accounts in statement of profit or loss for the year 2017.
ISG applied to tax court on 9 January 2018 and won the court case on June 2018 therefore the provision was
reversed in the current year financial statements. Tax Office has appealed to the next level court however it is
also rejected by the court on January 2019. Tax Office appealed to the Supreme Court on 28 January 2019 and
the process is still ongoing.

(ii) On 20 August 2015, Malaysia Airports (Properties) Sdn. Bhd. (MAP) received a Notice of Arbitration from Kuala
Lumpur Aviation Fuelling System Sdn. Bhd. (KAF) in respect of the alleged losses and damages in the sum of
RM28,277,000 pertaining to among others, design changes under AFA dated 26 September 2007. Both parties
have appointed an arbitrator. The hearing session for the arbitration has been conducted from 2 to 6 October
2017 and the parties had filed their respective closing submission by 8 December 2017. The oral hearing of
parties’ submission was conducted on 22 January 2018.

On 25 September 2018, MAP had received the award from the Arbitral Tribunal which is in favour of KAF. The
award is only in respect of liability and the quantum will be decided by the Arbitral Tribunal in a separate
proceeding at a later stage, subject to KAF providing further documents to substantiate the amount claimed.
Accordingly RM21,657,000 has been recognised as a provision, subject to final Arbitral Tribunal decision.

On 5 December 2019, KAF had submitted further documents to substantiate the amount claimed. On
24 February 2020, a discussion was held with KAF to clarify the documents and KAF is to provide the document
as requested during the discussion.

On 7 August 2020, a discussion was held with KAF to go through the documents submitted. Based on the
discussion, MAHB Technical required further documents to assess the claim. It was agreed that both Technical
teams would convene another discussion to enable MAHB Technical team to clarify on the required documents.
Currently, MAP is reviewing the documents submitted by KAF.

(iii) On 26 February 2016, MAP received a Notice of Arbitration from KAF in respect of the alleged losses and
damages in the estimated claim amount of RM456,000,000 pertaining to inter alia, the changes of the concession
period under the AFA dated 26 September 2007. MAP has obtained a preliminary view from its solicitors who
consider that MAP has a reasonably good prospect of defending the claims as MAP has complied with all
the terms and conditions under the AFA. On 13 February 2017, MAP has informed KAF on the Operating
Agreements’ extension as disclosed in Note 1.2(f) and requested KAF to withdraw the arbitration notice.

However, KAF refused to withdraw the arbitration notice and grants MAP an extension until 30 May 2017 to

(iv) Syarikat Pembinaan Anggerik Sdn. Bhd. (SPASB) via a Writ of Summons claims from MAHB for the sum of
RM44,000,000 for damages and other claims and interest in respect of the alleged losses and damages
pertaining to the works carried out by SPASB for the ‘Proposed Development and Upgrading Works at Penang
International Airport, Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang’ and the ‘Proposed Construction and Completion of Site
Office, Central Utilities Building and Airside Drainage Works at Penang International Airport’.

MAHB has filed an application for stay of proceedings in light of the arbitration provisions in the contract and
on 23 August 2017, the court had allowed MAHB’s ‘Stay Application’ with cost of RM10,000 to be paid by SPASB
to MAHB.

On 21 September 2017, SPASB filed its Notice of Appeal in respect of the court’s decision on the ‘Stay
Application’. The Court of Appeal however had allowed SPASB’s appeal with costs on 30 March 2018.

In furtherance to the Court of Appeal’s decision, MAHB had filed the ‘Application for Leave to Appeal’
(Application) at the Federal Court on 27 April 2018. Such Application nonetheless was dismissed by the
Federal Court on 1 August 2018 and therefore SPASB’s claim against MAHB shall be heard in the High Court
instead of arbitration.

On 9 August 2018, SPASB had filed its Amended Statement of Claim (Amended SOC). In the Amended SOC,
SPASB had raised its claim to RM59,853,000. MAHB had later filed its Statement of Defence on 21 September
2018 and SPASB filed its reply to MAHB’s Statement of Defence on 10 October 2018.

During the Case Management on 8 July 2019, the Court maintained the previously arranged trial dates on 11 to
15 November 2019. The court further directed both parties to exchange witness statements.

On 12 July 2019, SPASB had increased its amount of claim from RM59,853,000 to RM66,834,000. Subsequently,
on 31 July 2019 MAHB has filed its Amended Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. The amount claimed is
not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group since it is subject to strict
proof at the full trial. The next Case Management was set on 6 July 2020. In light of the Conditional Movement
Control Order (CMCO), the trial dates set on 22 October 2020 and 23 October 2020 was postponed to 24
February and 25 February 2021.

Subsequently, the court had fixed the next trial dates on 15 April to 16 April 2021, 26 April to 28 April 2021 and
19 May to 20 May 2021.

(v) On 21 March 2019, MA (Sepang) has received notice of Arbitration from SASB for the alleged losses and
damages pertaining to the delay in commencement of operations of klia2 Integrated Complex. This notice is
amounting to RM70,000,000 in respect of the alleged losses and damages pertaining to inter alia, the delay in
the commencement of the commercial operation of the klia2 Integrated Complex.

37. Significant events during the year

i) The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions adopted by governments worldwide to mitigate the pandemic’s spread
have significantly impacted the global aviation industry. These actions, which includes border closures and travel
restrictions, has resulted in an unprecedented decline in passenger and air traffic performance for airports globally,
including those operated by the Group.

The Group has incurred a loss, net of tax of RM1,116,196,000 (2019: profit, net of tax of RM537,042,000) for the
financial year ended 31 December 2020. Notwithstanding the loss registered, as of that date, equity attributable
to Owners of the Company stood at RM8,099,345,000 whilst the Group’s current assets exceeded current liabilities
by RM944,719,000. The Group has undrawn borrowing facilities of RM2,900,000,000, cash and cash equivalents of
RM973,657,000 and quoted unit trust and bond investments of RM743,366,000 providing the Group the liquidity in
meeting its near-term cash needs.

In response to the adverse impact of COVID-19, the Group implemented the following measures to strengthen its
financial position and manage liquidity risk:

(a) Operational expenses containment and cash conservation

The Group had taken immediate and pre-emptive measures on implementing an aggressive cost optimisation
plan. These measures include recalibrating operational efficiencies, rebasing cost and prioritising capital
expenditure to conserve cash reserves. For the financial year ended 31 December 2020, total expenditure
after excluding provision for doubtful debts and variable costs linked to revenue (such as cost of inventories
sold, revenue share and user fees) had contracted by 26% or RM575,500,000. The Group had also prioritised
its capital expenditure program, leading to an expenditure of RM189,747,000 (2019: RM489,886,000) on critical
projects for the year.

(b) Addressing liquidity risk

As at 1 January 2020, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents of RM1,453,136,000 and quoted unit trust and
bond investments of RM1,777,714,000, meant that the Group entered into the COVID-19 pandemic on a
strong liquidity position. The Group has since undertaken several stress tests on its liquidity position and as
precautionary measure, secured additional revolving credit facilities (RCF) of RM1,100,000,000 as contingency
lines. As at 31 December 2020, the Group also had RM1,800,000,000 in unutilised Sukuk facilities under its two
(2) existing Sukuk Programmes.

During the year, the Group had:

- redeemed the ten (10) years Islamic Medium Term Notes Programme tranche of RM1,000,000,000 matured
on 28 August 2020 with a periodic distribution rate (per annum, payable semi-annually) of 4.55%;
- completed the issuance of RM700,000,000 Senior Sukuk on 6 November 2020 via a dual tranche offering
pursuant to the Senior Sukuk Programme. The Senior Sukuk offering comprises: (i) a seven (7) years,
RM480,000,000 tranche and (ii) a ten (10) years, RM220,000,000 tranche with a periodic distribution rate
(per annum, payable semi-annually) of 3.30% and 3.60% respectively; and

37. Significant events during the year (cont’d.)

i) (b) Addressing liquidity risk (cont’d.)

During the year, the Group had: (cont’d.)

- successfully rescheduled its EUR385,000,000 loan commitment on 1 December 2020, with extension
of the loan tenure by two years to financial year 2025, revision of repayment schedules and relaxation
of certain key financial covenants. ISG has been granted the principal repayment moratorium of
EUR25,000,000 in December 2020 and EUR35,000,000 in June 2021. The revised semi-annual principal
repayment will commence between 24 December 2021 and 24 December 2025.

With the completion of the above exercises, the Group’s current borrowings reduced to RM94,298,000
(2019: RM1,247,012,000).

(c) Cash recovery

The Group proactively initiated a cash recovery plan on trade and other receivables outstanding, working
closely with the Government of Malaysia (GoM), airlines and commercial tenants. For the financial year ended
31 December 2020, the Group had collected over RM1,400,000,000 cash through various efforts including the
cash recovery initiatives.

(d) Divestment strategy

The Group aims to divest its non-strategic assets upon achieving the desired price consideration.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group and the
Company will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going
concern basis was not appropriate.

The Board and management of the Company diligently monitors ongoing developments throughout the current
pandemic and enhance the implementation of the above measures where possible. The ongoing initiatives on (a)
operational expenses containment and cash conservation, (b) addressing liquidity risk, (c) cash recovery and (d)
divestment strategy is expected to further strengthen the financial position of the Group and Company.

ii) On 4 October 2019, AirAsia Berhad and AirAsia X Berhad (AAX) had served a Writ of Summons on MA (Sepang)
claiming special damages amounting to RM479,781,000 for loss and damage occasioned by reason of the negligence
on the part of MA (Sepang), its servants or agents in the management, operation, maintenance or provision of airport
services and facilities at klia2.

MA (Sepang) has filed an application to strike out the Writ of Summons. The case was fixed for a decision on the
striking out application on 2 October 2020. However, the said decision date was vacated and new case management
was set on 18 December 2020.

On 10 December 2020, AirAsia Group had filed an application to expunge MA (Sepang)’s supplementary affidavit
dated 13 November 2020. The decision on AirAsia’s expungement application is fixed on 12 March 2021. The decision
on MA (Sepang)’s application to strike out the RM479,781,000 suit is fixed on 30 March 2021.

iii) On 22 October 2020, MA (Sepang) had filed a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim at the Kuala Lumpur High
Court (the Civil Suit) against AAX claiming the sum of RM78,163,000 for the outstanding amount for various aeronautical
charges pursuant to the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Aviation Services Charges) Regulations 2016 and/or the
Condition of Use for Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The outstanding aeronautical charges are comprised of
passenger service charges (PSC), passenger service security charges, aerobridge charges, aircraft parking charges,
check-in counter charges, landing charges and late payment charges.

MA (Sepang) had on 11 November 2020, filed a summary judgement application in respect of the outstanding PSC
only, which amounts to approximately RM62,900,000.

On 17 December 2020, AAX had filed an application to stay the proceedings of this civil suit pending the outcome
of the PSC Appeals which will be heard before the Court of Appeal on 24 March 2021 and AAX’s proposed debt
restructuring scheme. The next case management is fixed on 1 March 2021.

The Civil Suit is not expected to have any material impact on the operational position of MA (Sepang).

iv) On 7 October 2020, AAX had filed an Originating Summons at the Kuala Lumpur High Court for leave to convene
a meeting with its unsecured creditors for purposes of considering its proposed debt restructuring scheme. In this
application, AAX had named MA (Sepang) as one of its unsecured creditors.

On 23 October 2020, MA (Sepang) had filed an application to intervene and be excluded from AAX’s proposed debt
restructuring scheme (the Intervention Application).

The Intervention Application seeks to exclude MA (Sepang) from this proposed debt restructuring scheme on
the basis that, pursuant to the express terms of the Conditions of Use for Kuala Lumpur International Airport (‘the
Conditions of Use’), MA (Sepang) is a secured creditor of AAX. In particular, MA (Sepang) is a lienholder whose debt
is secured by a contractual lien over the User Properties of AAX.

On 4 November 2020, AAX filed an amendment application to the Scheme. On 1 December 2020, the Court allowed
AAX’s amendment application with costs to be borne by AAX.

38. Financial instruments

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are
executed by the management. The audit committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk
management process.

It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial year, the Group’s policy that no derivatives shall be
undertaken except for the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient.

The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to the above-mentioned
financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

(b) Interest rate risk

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no significant interest-bearing financial assets,
the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short-term in nature and have been mostly placed in fixed
deposits.

(e) Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Group trades only with recognised and
creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit
verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure
to bad debts is not significant. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant
operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Head of Credit Control. Since
the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group temporarily extended the credit terms to specific customers
with liquidity constraints arising as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All extensions were granted within
current sales limits after careful consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the creditworthiness of the
customer and each customer that was granted an extension is closely monitored for credit deterioration.

The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, arises from default of
the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these financial assets.

(e) Credit risk (cont’d.)

Exposure to credit risk

Majority of trade receivables are due from airport tenants, airline companies and representative firms. The customer
portfolio of the Group is diversified, with Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia Group, Malindo Airways, Hamad International
Airport and Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi A.S., being the main customers. It is the Group’s policy that all customers
who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are
monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Since the Group trades
only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there are no requirements for collateral. The Group obtains bank
guarantee from its major customer other than airlines.

Investments are acquired after assessing the quality of the relevant investments. Cash and cash equivalents are placed
with reliable financial institutions.

The credit risk of the trade and other receivables are disclosed in Note 20. The Group’s other financial assets, which
comprise investments and cash and cash equivalents arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum
exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these financial assets as disclosed in Notes 20 and 25.

Credit risk concentration profile

At the reporting date, approximately 65% (2019: 56%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from six (2019: six)
major customers who are reputable and located in Malaysia, Turkey and Qatar.

In addition, the Group’s concentration of risk also includes the amount receivable from the GoM as disclosed in Note
20 and the Group minimises its credit risk by maintaining regular communication with the GoM.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed in Note 20.
Deposits with banks and other financial institutions, investment securities and derivatives that are neither past due
nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings
and no history of default.

Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 20.

38. Financial instruments (cont’d.)

(f) Fair values

The following are classes of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are
reasonable approximation of fair value:

Note

Trade and other receivables 20


Trade and other payables 33

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values due to their
short-term nature.

The methods and assumptions used by management to determine fair values of financial instruments other than
those whose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair values are as follows:

(i) Trade and other receivables (non-current), borrowings and trade and other payables (non-current)

Fair value has been determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be received or paid.
The discount rates used are the current market incremental lending rates for similar types of lending and
borrowing.

The carrying amounts of the current portion of borrowings are reasonable approximations of fair values due to
the insignificant impact of discounting.

(ii) Unit trusts, bonds and medium term notes

The fair value of unit trusts, bonds and medium term notes is based on prices quoted by independent data
providers and independent brokers.

39. Capital management

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy
capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.

The Group actively manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in, amongst others, its
operating environment and economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the
dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the
objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

39. Capital management (cont’d.)

Gearing ratio is not a standardised term under the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and its determination may
vary from one Company to another. The gearing ratio is included in management’s analysis because it is used as a
financial measure of potential capacity of the Group to incur and service its debt coverage and determined as aggregate
indebtedness over the equity of the Group. The Group’s policy is to keep its gearing ratio manageable so as to maintain its
strong credit ratings and in any event not exceeding 125% as provided in the Covenants under its Sukuk Programmes. The
Group indebtedness includes borrowings and certain financial guarantee and contingent liabilities within the aggregate
indebtedness, but excludes inter-company loans which are subordinated to the Sukuk Programmes. Equity of the Group
includes, if any, preference equity, subordinated shareholders’ advances or loans and retained earnings or accumulated
losses less goodwill.

40. Segment information

(a) Reporting format

The primary segment reporting format is determined to be business segments as the Group’s risks and rates of
return are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services offered. Secondary information is
reported geographically. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature
of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different
products and serves different markets.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units and has the following reportable operating
segments:
