69 www.excelforce.com.my Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d) 2. Basis of Preparation (cont’d) (c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont’d) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses, unutilised capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unutilised 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. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note 21. Determination of transactions prices The Group and the Company are required to determine the transaction price in respect of each of its contracts with customers. In making such judgement the Group and the Company assess the impact of any variable consideration in the contract due to discounts or penalties in the contract. There is no estimation required in determining the transaction price, as revenue from sale of goods and rendering of services are based on invoiced values. Discounts are not considered as they are only given in rare circumstances. Provision for expected credit losses of financial assets at amortised cost The Group reviews the recoverability of its receivables, include trade and other receivables and amounts due from subsidiary companies at each reporting date to assess whether an impairment loss should be recognised. The impairment provisions for receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions at the end of each reporting period. The Group and the Company use a provision matrix to calculate expected credit loss for trade and other receivables and amount due from subsidiary companies. The provision rates are based on number of days past due. The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s and the Company’s historical observed default rates. The Group and the Company will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and expected credit loss is a significant estimate. The Group’s and the Company’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future. Information about the expected credit loss on the Group’s and the Company’s receivables is disclosed in Notes 13, 14 and 15. Discount rate used in leases Where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group and the Company use the incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that the Group and the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate requires estimation, particularly when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group and the Company estimate the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.
