Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Company will apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application recognized at the date of initial application but will not restate comparative information.
Leases agreements classified as operating leases under IAS 17, except for leases of low-value asset and short-term leases, will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing under IAS 36.
The Company will apply the following practical expedients to measure right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 :
a) The Company will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
b) The Company will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
c) Except for lease payment, the Company will exclude incremental costs of obtaining the lease from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.
d) The Company will determine lease terms (e.g. lease periods) based on the projected status on January 1, 2019, to measure lease liabilities.
The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used by the Company to calculate lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 is 1.46%. The reconciliation between the lease liabilities recognized and the future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease on December 31, 2018 is presented as follows:
The future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease on December 31, 2018
Less: Recognition exemption for short-term leases Undiscounted gross amounts on January 1, 2019
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 Add: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension and
purchase options

Except for sublease transactions, the Company will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor, and will account for those leases under IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019. On the basis of the remaining contractual terms and conditions on January 1, 2019, all of the Company’s subleases will be classified as operating leases.
