MISC- Annual Report 2016

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.) 2.5 Significant accounting estimates and judgements (cont’d.) (b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d.) (ii) Provisions Provisions are recognised in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.3(s). To determine whether it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made, the Group takes into consideration factors such as existence of legal/contractual agreements, past historical experience, external advisors’ assessments and other available information. (iii) Impairment of ships, offshore floating assets and other property, plant and equipment The Group and the Corporation have performed a review of the recoverable amount of their ships, offshore floating assets and other property, plant and equipment during the financial year. The review led to the recognition of impairment losses as disclosed in Note 5(a). The Group carried out the impairment test based on a variety of estimations, including the valuein-use of the CGU to which ships, offshore floating assets and other property, plant and equipment are allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Further details of the impairment loss recognised are disclosed in Note 12(b). (iv) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based on the likely timing and level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. The total carrying value of recognised deferred tax assets and the unrecognised tax losses and capital allowances are as disclosed in Note 28. (v) Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. Where possible, the inputs to these valuation models are taken from observable markets. However, when this is considered unfeasible, a degree of judgement is made in establishing fair values. The judgements made include having considered a host of factors including liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Further disclosure of fair value of financial instruments is provided in Note 36.
