Market Outlook

rising staff costs and inflationary pressures. We remain committed to deliver on our new
‘Care. For Good.‘ Strategy to provide sustainable growth and continue the journey to improve
returns for our stakeholders.

Trend Impact to Group

Current Trends

Economic landscape The global economy is expected to grow by 4.4 per cent in 2022, slowing from 5.9 per cent in 2021. In 2023,
growth is forecast at 3.8 per cent.
As a result of rising energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and widespread wage pressures, inflation has been
higher and more broad-based than expected, especially in many emerging and developing economies. Inflation
is expected to remain elevated. It is anticipated that inflation will result in higher operational costs at IHH, partly
as a result of salary competitiveness pressures.
As we move into an endemic period for COVID-19, government healthcare spending is expected to increase
in Malaysia and Singapore. Healthcare expenditure in Malaysia could reach RM 91.1 billion by 2025 with a 5-year
compound annual growth rate of 7.6 per cent in local currency terms and 8.9 per cent in US currency terms.
Singapore is anticipating an increase in healthcare expenditures as it transitions towards living with COVID-19.
Although private healthcare will remain in high demand, affordability of healthcare will continue to be a priority.

Strong demand for The elderly population of Asia is expected to reach more than 923 million by 2050. As life expectancy, chronic disease
private healthcare and co-morbidity rise in the region, the demand for private healthcare will rise substantially. As of 2017, Asia’s
healthcare spending totalled US$1.69 trillion. By 2026, it is expected to jump to US$2.27 trillion. Mass affluent
income is projected to grow from 57 million to 137 million in the ASEAN region alone by 2030, accounting for
21 per cent of the combined population. The rising affluence of patients demands personalised, efficient and
seamless healthcare experiences, and IHH must be ready to take advantage of these opportunities.

COVID-19 Impact The healthcare industry must adapt nimbly to disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics, by stepping up security
measures and enhancing protections. Such health crises will likely increase the cost of staffing and consumables.
We do this to prevent cross-infections and ensure the safety of our staff, patients, and visitors. During times like
these, doctors and patients will likely postpone non-urgent procedures, thus impacting the healthcare industry financially.
Health systems worldwide are under pressure from this pandemic, including IHH. Our staff and patients, particularly
those working on the frontline, are at risk.
Nevertheless, in 2021, the situation was dynamic and evolving. IHH steadily saw a gradual recovery in the local
patient population. A rise in medical tourism is also expected due to the easing of border restrictions such as with
the implementation of Singapore’s Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) programme.

Long-Term Trends

Shifting preference As a result of COVID-19, consumers feel challenged and increasingly determined to become more active, engaged,
to digitally enabled, and empowered in managing their healthcare needs. Increasingly, consumers are using technology for monitoring
convenient and their health. Consumers use virtual visits more than ever before, and most say they will continue to do so.

The Group expects pressure from staff costs from the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals
as we position ourselves for the recovery of business as usual (BAU) services.
To further grow our business performance, we will take the following steps:
• We will make healthcare better by using our global scale to extract synergies and improve operating
efficiencies to become a one IHH network.
• Enabling efficient capital growth by identifying and evaluating new and existing cluster opportunities
that are earnings accretive to IHH.
• We are extending existing revenue streams into new areas through our laboratory services and
partnerships with public health organisations.
• A patient-centric digital transformation roadmap will be implemented to deliver better, seamless, and
more affordable care to our patients over the next few years.
• A compelling sustainability agenda to care for patients by empowering them, care for our people by
shaping the best place for them to work at, care for the public by doing good for our communities and
care for the planet by making responsible choices to protect our planet’s health.
• As we stay guided by our vision to be the world’s most trusted healthcare services network, we remain on a
strong and sustainable growth trajectory in the new normal.

Our growth strategy is driven by five engines. We will examine these areas to provide sustainable growth
for stakeholders, including patients, people and the public:
• Recovering from COVID-19: Increasing volumes and occupancy to pre-pandemic levels as situation normalises.
• Achieving organic growth: Improving bed occupancy and utilisation of existing capacity.
• Acquiring strategic assets: According to cluster strategy and to adjacent markets.
• Developing our laboratory business: As a global laboratory platform.
• Driving innovation and digital transformation: Through digital and health tech platforms with US$100 million
allocated from 2022-2025.

IHH has remained agile in adapting to COVID-19. By diversifying our business services, such as improving
our laboratory business, which helps with COVID-19 testing, we can create new revenue streams. As proof
points of our commitment to combating COVID-19, we have also undertaken several COVID-19 related
services, such as taking in COVID-19 patients, vaccination projects, border screenings, and on-arrival tests.
In addition, IHH’s revenue streams are diversified across geographies. In markets such as Turkey and India,
where COVID-19 related services dropped in Q3 2021, it experienced a rebound in non-COVID core business
due to the high demand for private health care.

Over the past year, IHH has undertaken several initiatives:


• One of which is a strategic investment in a digital healthcare platform called Doctor Anywhere (DA)
so that the specialists from four of IHH’s hospitals in Singapore – Gleneagles, Mount Elizabeth,
Mount Elizabeth Novena and Parkway East – can offer teleconsultations. With this investment, our
brick-and-mortar operations will be complemented with the regional digital healthcare platform DA.
The solution will also allow us to deliver seamless, cost-effective care wherever our patients are.
• We have budgeted US$100 million in capital expenditures for the next three years for digital
healthcare initiatives.
• We will also train our clinical staff to develop digital capabilities. The seamless transition facilitates the
delivery of care beyond hospital walls. Among these services are repeat consultations, some early triage,
prescription refills, trend tracking and possibly even remote monitoring.

Greater demand for Treatment care and cost transparency are essential to consumers. The majority of patients want to know how well
transparency they will be treated and their outcomes.

Recruitment and In recent years, the demand for skilled healthcare professionals has significantly risen, and the COVID-19 pandemic

landscape by 2030. About 4.7 million additional health workers will be needed in Southeast Asia alone to achieve adequate
coverage. With this rise in demand for skilled and effective professionals, labour costs have also increased over the
years. Many healthcare providers are challenged to deliver effective and efficient services due to labour shortages
and higher costs.
Even though IHH remains well staffed, we are aware of the increased pressure on employees, especially frontline
workers, especially due to the pandemic. Given the rapid increase in the number of people and their growing needs,
we must find solutions to reduce labour-intensive tasks and improve overall productivity in the healthcare industry.

Geopolitical Tensions International companies can be exposed to business risks as a result from the escalating geopolitical tensions.
With current tensions in Europe and Asia, this disrupt supply chains and result in rising commodity and energy prices.
The economic implication of the tension and potential sanctions remain unclear. However, many organisations are
proactively managing the business risks arising from the situation.

Digital adoption / As healthcare service providers merge and consolidate their operations to maximise economies of scale, the industry
transformation is set in a competitive landscape. New disruptive services might change how patients consume healthcare services
in hospitals due to the speed with which healthcare companies and start-ups are adopting technology.

Public and private Healthcare demand and supply are mismatched globally, from drug shortages to protective equipment shortages,
partnership especially during the COVID-19 crisis. COVID-19 underscores the importance of public and private partnerships in
addressing healthcare emergencies efficiently and effectively. For a sound and sustainable healthcare ecosystem,
there must be mutual trust and collaboration between the private and public sectors.

It has been several years since we began developing our Value Driven Outcomes (VDO) initiative. We
have completed setting common core indicators and market benchmarks for four priority procedures
(Knee Replacement Surgery, Knee Ligament Repair Surgery, Cardiac Angioplasty and Colonoscopy).
We have analysed the data to gain more insights into quality and cost of care for improvement.
Our goal is for all our markets to cover the four VDO procedures by 2024 and create a culture of
improvement together with our physician partners.
Over time, the pandemic would likely catalyse redefining expectations of healthcare services and financing
models as government coffers and payers shrink. There is a growing demand for value.
We developed and launched our very own AI-powered billing estimation tool. The AI tool will be used in
most, if not all, of Malaysia’s 16 hospitals by the end of 2022. Pilot tests will also take place at Gleneagles
Hospital Hong Kong.

We ensure competitive remuneration packages and career development opportunities for our employees,
we leverage technology and innovation to increase productivity. We continue to attract and retain top talent
thanks to our well-established reputation and cross-country exchange programs between our business units.
By increasing digitalisation, innovation, and technology.
Maintaining a positive mindset and constant upskilling are the cornerstones of our culture. We host a
Quality Summit where our employees present innovative projects from different markets every year.
Winning projects are selected for implementation so that the Group can improve productivity standards.
Our nurses are provided with stress and anxiety management tools through wellness programs.
The successful roll out of Cerebral Plus (C+) in some of IHH Malaysia’s hospitals can now offer greater
convenience, allowing our employees to focus on tasks that matter.

One of our approaches is to establish natural hedges of our future borrowings to match our investments,
preventing any mismatch in earnings with debt service. We reduce our dependence on a single market
by diversifying across our markets. The effect is to offset cyclical dips in one market with gains in another.
With our strong portfolio of cash-generating assets and strong cash flow generation in developed markets,
we are well-positioned to support our growth in emerging markets such as Malaysia, Turkey, India, and
Greater China. Please refer to pages 52 to 55 for our GCFO’s message.

Our capabilities and capacity to handle more complex medical cases have been strengthened. We are
bringing out better technologies, which will help us treat conditions in a less invasive ways and give
our patients a better quality of life. For example, Gleneagles Global Hospitals, Parel was the first Mumbai
hospital to successfully perform a bilateral hand transplant. Following the surgery, the patient could regain
95% of her hand function and lead an independent and normal life.
Our complementary digital ecosystem and services continue to be enhanced, and we have recently partnered
with a regional digital healthcare company, Doctor Anywhere (DA). The end-to-end digital platform allows
patients to schedule and receive virtual consultations with a doctor from anywhere and at any time. As a
result of this partnership with DA, we can expand our digital ecosystem to better serve our clients with a
full range of healthcare services.

With our international network, IHH is ready to be an extension of public healthcare systems and lend
our support to patients where we can. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, IHH was among the
first healthcare groups to take in COVID-19 patients. In 2021, we continued to enhance our public and
private partnership offerings.
Turkey’s Dalaman YDA Airport Acibadem PCR Laboratory has been operating since 1 June 2021 and

Our Material Sustainability Matters


Material sustainability is one of the highest priority sustainability areas for the Group.
In terms of our business and the sustainability of our operations, these topics present
both opportunities and risks. In FY2019, we developed our current list of material sustainability
matters, which has been maintained since last year. Following a meeting with the SMC
to discuss the relevance of the material matters, it was decided to keep the same list for
FY2021. Twenty material matters have been chosen in alignment with our five core pillars.

• Cost-Effectiveness

After the 20 material matters were confirmed, an assessment was performed to generate a materiality matrix. Each matter is ranked
based on its relative importance from the matrix's stakeholder and business perspective.

A three-step process was used to develop the materiality matrix.

As in previous years, the top three material matters are Patient Safety and Welfare, Quality of Care and Patient Satisfaction, and
Ethics and Integrity.

Human Rights, Technology and Innovation, and Employee Capability Building were prioritised, reflecting the "new normal" operating
during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reporting year, economic matters such as Economic Performance, Cost-Effectiveness, and
Affordable and Accessible Treatment have decreased relative importance. Similarly, the current COVID-19 epidemic and the shift
in stakeholders' focus towards health and safety issues and topics relating to employee wellness may have contributed to this trend.

Principal Risks
With a well-designed risk management system, the Group is able to identify, track, and
mitigate the principal risks associated with our operations. As a result of this system,
the Group is equipped to make informed decisions, ensuring that all risks are managed
in a manner consistent with expectations and returns.

Global supply chains continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic amid virus

In the midst of the ongoing pandemic, the Group faces government directives, movement

affecting patient volume and affordability due to the global economic downturn.

resulting from cyber attacks and security breaches.
Technology As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical and technological advancements in the
healthcare industry have accelerated, thus intensifying cybersecurity threats.
Even as the Group strives to build a trust culture, leakage of personal and confidential
data would cause reputational damage and adversely affect revenue.

Climate change presents new risks to the Group. Aside from physical risks such as
Environmental, flooding that may threaten our healthcare facilities, and climate-related disease burdens,
social, and the Group is vulnerable to transition risks that might arise from society’s response to

(ESG) viability, and reduce asset values.

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases, cash and cash
Financial equivalents, receivables and payables, loans and borrowings denominated in currencies
other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The volatility of exchange
rates could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and prospects.
Volatile currencies include the Turkish Lira, whose value has depreciated by approximately
40% against the US dollar since 2021. The net import economy was thereby put under
upward inflationary pressure, which had the effect of increasing costs and eroding margins if
price adjustments were asymmetric. Since many of our entities have functional currencies
other than the Malaysian Ringgit, the Group is also exposed to currency translation risks.
In addition to the Turkish Lira, the Singapore Dollar followed by the Indian Rupee are the
principal foreign currencies we use in business.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
With a global network of private healthcare systems spanning ten countries, IHH recognises the importance of developing a science-based
foundation for addressing the Group's sustainability challenges. Globally, IHH has committed to reducing social inequalities and tackling
climate change in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while safeguarding universal human rights.

The Group has identified seven SDGs most relevant to its business and best placed to make a significant impact. We review the Goals
annually to ensure our operations and initiatives align with each SDG. As illustrated below, the Group has adopted the relevant SDGs
to contribute to the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Our Pillars of Sustainability


In FY2017, the Group established its five sustainability pillars. Our five key strategic areas define our highest priorities and allow us
to tailor our sustainability efforts, ensuring our initiatives are developed for those areas where they will most benefit.

Our Patients

We put the needs of our patients first. Patients are vital to what we do as the world’s leading private healthcare
provider. Our ultimate goal is to provide safe, effective, and high-quality healthcare services to our patients to
ensure their safety and satisfaction.

Our People

Operational efficiency is a function of our human capital. We strive to make our team members feel appreciated
by maintaining a safe and conducive working environment. Our diverse team’s unique perspectives and
dedication to work make our team strong.

Our Organisation

We take pride in operating ethically and following all applicable legislation and industry best practices
throughout the organisation. This commitment to integrity has earned us the reputation we have.

Our Environment

We take strict measures to minimise our environmental footprint and decrease our operation’s impact on the
environment. To protect our planet and the wider community, we focus on efficient consumption of natural
resources and appropriate management of generated wastes.

Our Community

Community support is integral to the success of our Group. Our goal is to promote healthy living and wellbeing
in our communities by providing basic healthcare and health education.

Global Initiatives (Our Key Performance Indicators)
IHH established three global key performance indicators ("KPIs") applicable to all countries where it operated last year. Our KPIs
were developed to improve our management of three key sustainability areas while ensuring consistency across the whole
organisation. Our three KPIs reflect three aspects of our sustainability: "Our Patients", "Our People", and "Our Environment".

Selection and Appointment of Directors
The Group has adopted the Policy on the Nomination and Assessment Process of Board Members (Policy) that sets out the process
and requirements to be undertaken by the NRC and Board in discharging their responsibilities in terms of the nomination, assessment
and re-election of Board members in compliance with the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and
Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG). The Policy is administered by the NRC.

The process for the appointment of a new director is summarised in the diagram below:

Step 1 Candidate identified


The candidate can be identified on the recommendation of the existing Directors,
Senior Management, shareholders or third party referrals.

Step 2 Assessment and evaluation to be conducted by the NRC


The assessment should be conducted based on the following criteria:

(i) Integrity and judgement (v) Independent judgement


(ii) Knowledge (vi) Performance and contribution
(iii) Diversity including gender, age, ethnicity (vii) Experience and accomplishments
and cultural background (viii) Board interaction
(iv) Commitment (ix) Any other criteria deemed fit

For an Independent Director position, additional assessment on


independence would need to be carried out.

The NRC would also need to consider the size and composition of the Board to be in compliance
with MMLR and MCCG and to facilitate the making of informed and critical decisions.

Step 3 Recommendation to be made by the NRC to the Board

Step 4 Discussion and decision to be made by the Board on the proposed new appointment

Step 5 If the proposed appointment is approved: If the proposed appointment is rejected:

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE COSTS
During the financial year, the Company maintained a Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance for the Group’s directors and officers.
The insurance premium incurred by the Company was RM816,000.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION


Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to ascertain that:
i. all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and
ii. any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down to an amount
which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i. that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group and in the
Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or
ii. that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, or
iii. which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the
Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv. not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
i. any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the
liabilities of any other person, or
ii. any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable, within
the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the
ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, except for those disclosed in the financial statements, the financial performance of the Group and of the
Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a
material and unusual nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year
and the date of this report.

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 auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our 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 Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ 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.

Emphasis of Matter
1 We draw attention to Note 46 to the financial statements on the ongoing investigation by Serious Fraud Investigation Office
(“SFIO”) on Fortis Healthcare Limited (“Fortis”) and its subsidiaries (“Fortis Group”). Fortis Group has been submitting all information
required by the various investigating agencies and is fully cooperating in the investigations/inquiries.
As explained in the aforesaid note, the outcome of the investigation cannot be predicted at this juncture and the financial impact
to the Group, if any, will only be recognised in the period that the outcome is known.
2 We draw attention to Note 47(a) to the financial statements on the judgment dated 15 November 2019 by the Supreme Court of
India (“Judgment”), relating to the issuance of a suo-moto contempt notice to, amongst others, Fortis, and directed its Registry to
register a fresh contempt petition in regard to alleged violation of its order dated 14 December 2018.
Since the issuance of the Judgment, several parties have filed applications before the Supreme Court, in attempts to seek remedies
for themselves. On 5 March 2020, Northern TK Venture Pte. Ltd., the immediate holding company of Fortis filed the necessary
applications to intervene in the aforementioned Supreme Court proceedings.
As stated in the said aforesaid note, the Group believes that it has a strong case on merits. The ultimate outcome of the Supreme
Court proceedings is unknown at this juncture and therefore the potential impact, if any, to the Group’s financial statements
cannot be determined.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the aforesaid matters.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

a. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets – Group


Refer to Notes 2(f) and 2(g) – Significant accounting policies: “Goodwill on consolidation” and “Intangible assets” and
Note 6 – Goodwill on consolidation and intangible assets.

The key audit matter


As at 31 December 2021, the Group’s goodwill and intangible assets of RM14.2 billion represented 31.2% of the Group’s total assets.
In view of the financial significance of the balance, the inherent uncertainties and the level of judgement required by us in
evaluating the Group’s assumptions included within the value in use (“VIU”) method and fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCTS”)
method, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is a key audit matter.
The Group conducted an impairment assessment on all its cash-generating units (“CGUs”) to identify if the recoverable amount is
less than the carrying amount, indicating that the goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired.
The Group determined the recoverable amounts of CGUs using VIU method involving cash flow projections with a terminal value
or FVLCTS method. Key assumptions within these methods include revenue growth, Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation
and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) margin, long-term growth rates and discount rates.
During the year, an impairment charge of RM6.1 million was recognised in the profit or loss of the Group in respect of the cash-
generating units where its recoverable amount is less than the Group’s carrying amount.

How the matter was addressed in our audit


We performed the following audit procedures, among others:
• We assessed the appropriateness of using VIU or FVLCTS methods as the basis for determining the CGUs’ recoverable
amounts.
• We evaluated the Group’s cash flow projections by performing retrospective assessment of the key assumptions driving
the business units’ cash flow projections, in particular revenue growth and EBITDA margin, to the latest internal board
approved budget and plan, external market data, the historical accuracy of the Group’s estimates in the previous years and
our understanding of the future prospects of the business or investments.
• We worked with our internal valuation specialists to challenge the discount rates and long-term growth rates, and comparing
these assumptions to economic and industry forecasts.
• We performed our own sensitivity of the impairment calculation to changes in the key assumptions used by the Group to
assess the extent of the changes that would be required for the assets to be impaired.
• We also assessed the adequacy of key assumptions disclosure in the Group’s financial statements.

Key Audit Matters (continued)
b. Impairment of investment in a subsidiary – Company
Refer to Note 2(a)(i) – Significant accounting policies: “Subsidiaries” and Note 7 – Investments in subsidiaries.

The key audit matter


During the year, the Company continued to face challenges in its investment in the subsidiary that held investments in subsidiaries
in Central and Eastern Europe, in particular the continuing depreciation of Turkish Lira currency over the years. This increased
the risk that the Company’s net carrying value of its cost of investment in this subsidiary, exceeds its recoverable amount. We
identified the impairment of investment in this subsidiary as a key audit matter as it required us to exercise judgement in evaluating
the assumptions used in deriving the recoverable amount of investment in this subsidiary, which include revenue growth, EBITDA
margin, long-term growth rate, discount rate and EBITDA multiple.
Based on the impairment assessment performed by the Company using the recoverable amount as the greater of VIU or FVLCTS
methods, no impairment loss was charged to the profit or loss of the Company for the current year.

How the matter was addressed in our audit


We performed the following audit procedures, among others:
• We assessed the Company’s assessment on indicators of impairment in investment in this subsidiary.
• We assessed the appropriateness of using VIU or FVLCTS methods as the basis for determining the subsidiary’s recoverable
amount and checked the mathematical accuracy of these methods.
• We evaluated the subsidiary’s VIU and FVLCTS methods by performing retrospective assessment of the key assumptions
driving the subsidiary’s cash flow projections, in particular revenue growth, EBITDA and EBITDA margin, to the latest internal
board approved budget and plan, external market data, the historical accuracy of the subsidiary’s estimates in the previous
years and our understanding of the future prospects of the investment.
• We worked with our own valuation specialists to challenge the discount rate, long-term growth rate and EBITDA multiple,
and comparing these assumptions to economic and industry forecasts.
• We performed our own sensitivity of the impairment calculation to changes in the key assumptions used by the Company to
assess the extent of the changes that would be required for the investment to be impaired.
• We also assessed the adequacy of key assumptions disclosure in the Company’s financial statements.

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. The
annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the annual report and we will 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
identified above when it becomes available 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.
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 Company and take appropriate actions in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia
and International Standards on Auditing.

152 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 ability of the
Group and of the Company 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.
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 internal control of the Group and
of the Company.
• 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 ability of the
Group or of the Company 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 gives a true and fair view.
• 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.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)
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.
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 auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS


In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of which we have not acted
as auditors are disclosed in Note 42 to the financial statements.

OTHER MATTER
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.

166 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(a) Statement of compliance (continued)
The Group and the Company plans to apply the abovementioned accounting standards and amendments:
• from the annual period beginning on 1 January 2022 for those amendments that are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2022, except for Amendments to MFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial
Reporting Standards (Annual Improvements to MFRS Standards 2018−2020) and Amendments to MFRS 141, Agriculture
(Annual Improvements to MFRS Standards 2018−2020) which are not applicable to the Group and the Company.
• from the annual period beginning on 1 January 2023 for the accounting standard and amendments that are effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, except for MFRS 17, Insurance Contracts and Amendments
to MFRS 17, Insurance Contracts – Initial application of MFRS 17 and MFRS 9 – Comparative Information which are not
applicable to the Group and the Company.
The initial application of the abovementioned amendments is not expected to have any material financial impacts to the
current period and prior period financial statements of the Group and the Company.
The Group and Company had elected to early adopt the Amendments to MFRS 16, Leases – Covid-19-Related Rent
Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 and applies the practical expedient to the rent concessions granted to the Group and
Company. Consequently, rent concessions received have been recognised in profit or loss.

(b) Basis of measurement


The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in note 2.

(c) Functional and presentation currencies


These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial
information is presented in RM and has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in the following notes:
• Note 3 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment
• Note 4 – extension options and incremental borrowing rate in relation to leases
• Note 5 – measurement of the fair value of investment properties
• Note 6 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units
• Note 7 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries
• Note 21 – measurement of share-based payment
• Note 22 and 23 – measurement of retirement benefits and employment termination benefits
• Note 24 – measurement of fair value of liabilities on put options granted to non-controlling interests
• Note 36 – measurement of expected credit loss (“ECL”) allowance for trade and other receivables:
key assumption in determining the weighted-average loss rate
• Note 40 – determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations
• Note 45 to 47 – assessment on whether the risk of loss is remote, possible or probable required significant
judgement given the complexities involved

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements and
have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.

Changes in accounting policies


The Group has applied the following new MFRSs, interpretations and amendments for the first time for the annual period beginning
on 1 January 2021:
• Amendments to MFRS 9, Financial Instruments, MFRS 139, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
MFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, MFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and MFRS 16, Leases – Interest Rate Benchmark
Reform – Phase 2
The application of amendment relating to the interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2 Amendments, does not have a material
effect on the financial statements.
The Group applied the Phase 2 amendments retrospectively. However, in accordance with the exceptions permitted in the
Phase 2 amendments, the Group has elected not to restate comparatives for the prior periods to reflect the application of these
amendments. Since the Group had no transactions for which the benchmark rate had been replaced with an alternative benchmark
rate as at 31 December 2020, there is no impact on opening equity balances as a result of retrospective application.
Specific policies applicable from 1 January 2021 for interest rate benchmark reform
The Phase 2 amendments provide practical relief from certain requirements in MFRS Standards. These reliefs relate to modifications
of financial instruments and lease contracts or hedging relationships triggered by a replacement of a benchmark interest rate in a
contract with a new alternative benchmark rate.
If the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability measured at amortised cost changes
as a result of interest rate benchmark reform, then the Group updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial
liability to reflect the change that is required by the reform. A change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows is
required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met:
– the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
– the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis – i.e. the basis
immediately before the change.
If changes are made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash
flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, then the Group first updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or
financial liability to reflect the change that is required by interest rate benchmark reform. Subsequently, the Group applies the
policies on accounting for modifications to the additional changes.
The amendments also provide an exception to use a revised discount rate that reflects the change in interest rate when
remeasuring a lease liability because of a lease modification that is required by interest rate benchmark reform.
Finally, the Phase 2 amendments provide a series of temporary exceptions from certain hedge accounting requirements when
a change required by interest rate benchmark reform occurs to a hedged item and/or hedging instrument that permit the hedge
relationship to be continued without interruption. The Group applies the following reliefs as and when uncertainty arising from
interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-
based cash flows of the hedged item or hedging instrument:
– the Group amends the designation of a hedging relationship to reflect changes that are required by the reform without
discontinuing the hedging relationship; and
– when a hedged item in a cash flow hedge is amended to reflect the changes that are required by the reform, the amount
accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is deemed to be based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged
future cash flows are determined.
Where uncertainty persists in the timing or amount of the interest rate benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or hedging
instrument, the Group continues to apply the existing accounting policies.

168 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are considered
when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also considers it has de facto power over
an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the
investee that significantly affect the investee’s return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment
losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.

(ii) Business combinations


Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on
which control is transferred to the Group.
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:
• the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
• the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus
• if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less
• the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a gain on bargain purchase is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the acquiree
either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in
connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration
is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests


The Group accounts for all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control as equity
transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between the Group’s share of
net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.

(iv) Acquisitions from entities under common control


Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that
controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are
restated. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group
controlling shareholder’s consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are
added to the same components within Group’s equity and any resulting gain or loss is recognised directly in equity.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(v) Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary, any
non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former subsidiary from the consolidated
statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the
Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is
lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as a financial asset depending on the level of
influence retained.

(vi) Associates
Associates are entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less
any impairment losses. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements
include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates, after adjustments if
any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until
the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest including
any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent
that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.
When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate
at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying
amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the
interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method is discontinued is
recognised in the profit or loss.
When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained
interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains
or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss
if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
Investments in associates are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment
losses. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.

(vii) Joint arrangements


Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group has joint control, established by contracts requiring
unanimous consent for decisions about the activities that significantly affect the arrangements’ returns.
Joint arrangements are classified and accounted for as follows:
• A joint arrangement is classified as “joint operation” when the Group or the Company has rights to the assets
and obligations for the liabilities relating to an arrangement. The Group and the Company account for each of its
share of the assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share of those held or incurred jointly with the other
investors, in relation to the joint operation.
• A joint arrangement is classified as “joint venture” when the Group or the Company has rights only to the net
assets of the arrangements. The Group accounts for its interest in the joint venture using the equity method.
Investments in joint venture are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any
impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment
includes transaction costs.

170 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(viii) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly
or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position
and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between
non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if
doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

(ix) Transactions eliminated on consolidation


Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions
between subsidiaries in the Group, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates and joint ventures are eliminated against
the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way
as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b) Foreign currency


(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to
the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting
date, except for those that are measured at fair value which are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange
rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on
the retranslation of equity instruments where they are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or
a financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign
operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising
from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in
other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity.

(ii) Foreign operations


The assets and liabilities of foreign operations including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are
translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations
are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the FCTR in equity.
However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation
difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of, such that control,
significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related to that foreign operation is
reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(b) Foreign currency (continued)
(ii) Foreign operations (continued)
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant
proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part
of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence
or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

(c) Financial instruments


(i) Recognition and initial measurement
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without significant financing component) or a financial liability is initially
measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its acquisition or issuance. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially
measured at the transaction price.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract where the host contract is not a financial
asset, and accounted for separately if, and only if, the derivative is not closely related to the economic characteristics
and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The host
contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy
applicable to the nature of the host contract.

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement


Financial assets
Categories of financial assets are determined on initial recognition and are not reclassified subsequent to their initial
recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets in which case all affected
financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change of the business model.

(a) Amortised cost


Amortised cost category comprises financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to
hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The financial assets are
not designated as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment
losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any
gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount except for credit
impaired financial assets (see note 2(o)(i)) where the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost.

(b) Fair value through profit or loss


All financial assets not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are
measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes derivative financial assets (except for a derivative that
is a designated and effective hedging instrument). On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a
financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through
other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces
an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair value. Net
gains or losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in the profit or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial assets (continued)
(c) Fair value through other comprehensive income
(i) Debt investments
Fair value through other comprehensive income category comprises debt investment where it is held
within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling the debt investment, and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The debt investment is
not designated as fair value through profit or loss. Interest income calculated using the effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net
gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses
accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount except for credit
impaired financial assets (see note 2(o)(i)) where the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost.

(ii) Equity investments


This category comprises investment in equity that is not held for trading, and the Group irrevocably elect to
present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election
is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless
the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of investment. Other net gains and losses
are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other
comprehensive income are not reclassified to profit or loss.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss and equity investments measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income, are subject to impairment assessment (see note 2(o)(i)).

Financial liabilities
Except for liabilities on put options granted to non-controlling interests, the categories of financial liabilities at initial
recognition are as follows:

(a) Fair value through profit or loss


Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a derivative
that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument), contingent consideration in a
business combination and financial liabilities that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial liability that otherwise meets the
requirements to be measured at amortised cost as at fair value through profit or loss:
(a) if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise;
(b) a group of financial liabilities or assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated
on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and
information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the Group’s key management personnel; or
(c) if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives and the host is not a financial asset in the scope
of MFRS 9, Financial Instruments, where the embedded derivative significantly modifies the cash flows and
separation is not prohibited.

(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial liabilities (continued)
(a) Fair value through profit or loss (continued)
Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair value
with gains or losses, including any interest expense are recognised in the profit or loss.
For financial liabilities where it is designated as fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition, the Group
recognises the amount of change in fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to change in credit risk in
the other comprehensive income and remaining amount of the change in fair value in the profit or loss, unless the
treatment of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch.

(b) Amortised cost


Other financial liabilities not categorised as fair value through profit or loss and liabilities on put options granted
to non-controlling interests are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Any gains or losses
on derecognition are also recognised in the profit or loss.

Liabilities on put options granted to non-controlling interests


The Group granted put options to the non-controlling interests in existing subsidiaries over their equity interests in
those subsidiaries which provide for settlement in cash by the Group. The Group recognises a liability for the present
value of the exercise price of the options. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group recognises the changes in the
carrying amount of the financial liabilities in equity.

(iii) Financial guarantee contracts


A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the
holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original
or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantees issued are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at higher of:
• the amount of the loss allowance; and
• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in
accordance to the principles of MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Liabilities arising from financial guarantees are presented together with other provisions.

(iv) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets


A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date or
settlement date accounting in the current year.
Trade date accounting refers to:
(a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
(b) derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition of a receivable
from the buyer for payment on the trade date.

174 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(iv) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets (continued)
Settlement date accounting refers to:
(a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group, and
(b) derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that it is delivered by the Group.
Any change in the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trade date and the settlement
date is accounted in the same way as it accounts for the acquired asset.
Generally, the Group applies settlement date accounting unless otherwise stated for the specific class of asset.

(v) Hedge accounting


At inception of a designated hedging relationship, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy
for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the
hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are
expected to offset each other.
Hedges directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform

Phase 1 amendments: Prior to interest rate benchmark reform – when there is uncertainty arising from Interest rate
benchmark reform
For the purpose of evaluating whether there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the
hedging instruments, the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate is not altered as a result of interest rate
benchmark reform.
For a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate will not be
altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform for the purpose of assessing whether the forecast transaction
is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss. In
determining whether a previously designated forecast transaction in a discontinued cash flow hedge is still expected
to occur, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark cash flows designated as a hedge will not be altered as
a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
The Group will cease to apply the specific policy for assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item
and the hedging instrument (i) to a hedged item or hedging instrument when the uncertainty arising from interest rate
benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of contractual cash flows of the
respective item or instrument or (ii) when the hedging relationship is discontinued. For its highly probable assessment
of the hedged item, the Group will no longer apply the specific policy when the uncertainty arising from interest rate
benchmark reform about the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based future cash flows of the
hedged item is no longer present, or when the hedging relationship is discontinued.

Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of benchmark interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from
interest rate benchmark reform
When the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument changes as a
result of interest rate benchmark reform and therefore there is no longer uncertainty arising about the cash flows of the
hedged item or the hedging instrument, the Group amends the hedge documentation of that hedging relationship to
reflect the change(s) required by interest rate benchmark reform. A change in the basis for determining the contractual
cash flows is required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met:
– the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
– the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis –
i.e. the basis immediately before the change.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(v) Hedge accounting (continued)
Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of benchmark interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from
interest rate benchmark reform (continued)
For this purpose, the hedge designation is amended only to make one or more of the following changes:
– designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk;
– updating the description of hedged item, including the description of the designated portion of the cash flows
or fair value being hedged; or
– updating the description of the hedging instrument.
The Group amends the description of the hedging instrument only if the following conditions are met:
– it makes a change required by interest rate benchmark reform by changing the basis for determining the
contractual cash flows of the hedging instrument;
– the chosen approach that is economically equivalent to changing the basis for determining the contractual cash
flows of the original hedging instrument; and
– the original hedging instrument is not derecognised.
The Group amends the formal hedge documentation by the end of the reporting period during which a change required
by interest rate benchmark reform is made to the hedged risk, hedged item or hedging instrument. These amendments
in the formal hedge documentation do not constitute the discontinuation of the hedging relationship or the designation
of a new hedging relationship.
If changes are made in addition to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform described above, then the
Group first considers whether those additional changes result in the discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship.
If the additional changes do not result in discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship, then the Group amends the
formal hedge documentation for changes required by interest rate benchmark reform as mentioned above.
When the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged future cash flows had been based is changed as required by
interest rate benchmark reform, for the purpose of determining whether the hedged future cash flows are expected
to occur, the Group deems that the hedging reserve recognised in other comprehensive income for that hedging
relationship is based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged future cash flows will be based.

(a) Cash flow hedge


A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with all, or a component of, a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and
could affect the profit or loss. In a cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that
is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the
derivative that is recognised in other comprehensive income is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of
the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge.
Subsequently, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity
into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. If
the hedge item is a non-financial asset or liability, the associated gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive
income is removed from equity and included in the initial amount of the asset or liability. However, loss recognised
in other comprehensive income that will not be recovered in one or more future periods is reclassified from
equity into profit or loss immediately.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(v) Hedge accounting (continued)
Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of benchmark interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from
interest rate benchmark reform (continued)

(a) Cash flow hedge (continued)


The Group designates only the change in fair value of the spot element of forward contracts as the hedging
instrument in cash flow hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the forward element of forward
exchange contracts (“forward points”) and/or the foreign currency basis spread are separately accounted for as
cost of hedging and recognised in a cost of hedging reserve within equity.
Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised, the hedge is no longer highly effective, the forecast transaction is no longer expected
to occur or the hedge designation is revoked. If the hedge is for a forecast transaction, the cumulative gain or loss
on the hedging instrument remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When hedge accounting for
cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of
hedging reserve remains in equity until, for a hedge of a transaction resulting in recognition of a non-financial item,
it is included in the non-financial item’s cost on its initial recognition or, for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified
to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated
in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

(b) Hedge of a net investment


A hedge of a net investment is a hedge in the interest of the net assets of a foreign operation. In a net investment
hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge
is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. The
cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss
on disposal of the foreign operation.

(vi) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or transferred, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference
between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset
obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expires. A financial liability is also derecognised when its terms are modified and the cash
flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case, a new financial liability based on modified terms
is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(vii) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position
when, and only when, the Group or the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it
intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing
the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of
materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting
policy on borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow
hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at
acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each
acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based
on the quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement costs when appropriate.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within “other operating
income” and “other operating expenses” respectively in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs


The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount
of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group,
and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or
loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are
assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component
is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of
an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for use. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Property, plant and equipment under construction (construction-in-progress) are not depreciated until the assets are
ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• Buildings 5 – 60 years
• Hospital and medical equipment, renovations, furniture and fittings and equipment 3 – 25 years
• Laboratory and teaching equipment 2 – 10 years
• Motor vehicles 4 – 8 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjusted
as appropriate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Leases
From 1 January 2021, where the basis for determining future lease payments changes as required by interest rate benchmark
reform, the Group remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using the revised discount rate
that reflects the change to an alternative benchmark interest rate.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of
properties in which the Group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for
the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(i) Recognition and initial measurement


(a) As a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The
ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any
lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate
of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is
located, less any lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the respective Group entities’ incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group entities use their
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments less any incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at
the commencement date;
• amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
• the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise; and
• penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The Group excludes variable lease payments that are linked to future performance or usage of the underlying
asset from the lease liability. Instead, these payments are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the
performance or use occurs.
The Group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease
term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated
with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an
operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance
lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies MFRS 15, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, to allocate the consideration in the contract based on the stand-alone selling prices.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease
separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the ROU asset arising from the
head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group
applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an operating lease.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(e) Leases (continued)
(ii) Subsequent measurement
(a) As a lessee
The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of ROU
assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the ROU asset is
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there
is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a revision of in-substance
fixed lease payments, or if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable
under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,
extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the ROU
asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.

(b) As a lessor
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over
the lease term as part of “revenue”.
The Group recognises finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate
of return on the Group’s net investment in the lease. The Group aims to allocate finance income over the lease
term on a systematic and rational basis. The Group applies the lease payments relating to the period against the
gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income. The net investment
in the lease is subject to impairment requirements in MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (see note 2(o)(i)).

(f) Goodwill on consolidation


Goodwill arises on business combinations is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-
accounted associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment
and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying
amount of the equity-accounted associates and joint ventures.

(g) Intangible assets


(i) Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and
understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Expenditure on development activities, whereby the application of research findings are applied to a plan or design for
the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised only if development costs can
be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are
probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overheads costs that are directly
attributable to prepare the asset for its intended use. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in
accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or
loss as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses.

180 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Intangible assets (continued)
(ii) Other intangible assets
Customer relationships that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less any
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Brand names and hospital licenses that have indefinite lives and other intangible assets that are not yet available for
use are stated at cost less impairment losses.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure


Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iv) Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual value.
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets
from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• Customer relationships 5 – 20 years
• Capitalised development costs 5 – 10 years
• Brand use rights remaining term of the right
• Other intangibles 2 – 10 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted,
if appropriate.
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortised
but are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.

(h) Investment properties


(i) Recognition and measurement
Investment properties are properties which are owned or ROU asset held under a lease contract to earn rental income
or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply
of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Investment properties which are owned are measured initially at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes
the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a
working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. ROU asset held under a lease contract that
meets the definition of investment property is initially measured similarly as other ROU assets.
Subsequently, investment properties are measured at fair value with any changes therein recognised in profit or loss
for the period in which they arise. Where the fair value of the investment property under construction is not reliably
determinable, the investment property under construction is measured at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably
determinable or construction is complete, whichever is earlier.
The fair value of investment properties held by the Group as a ROU asset reflects the expected cash flows. Accordingly,
where valuation obtained for a property is net of all payments expected to be made, the Group added back any
recognised lease liability to arrive at the carrying amount of the investment property using the fair value model.
An investment property is derecognised on its disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(h) Investment properties (continued)
(ii) Reclassification to/from investment property
When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any
difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its
fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a fair value gain
reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal of an investment property, any
surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained earnings; the transfer is not made through profit or loss.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or inventories, its fair
value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

(i) Development properties


Properties under development
The cost of properties under development comprises specifically identified costs, including acquisition costs, development
expenditure, borrowing costs and other related expenditure that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the properties
under development. Borrowing costs payable on loans funding development properties are also capitalised, on a specific
identification basis, as part of the cost of the development properties until the completion of development.
Development properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated
selling price less cost to be incurred in selling the properties.

Completed properties
Completed properties comprise completed development properties held for sale. It is stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less cost to be incurred in selling the properties.

(j) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase and other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their existing location and condition. Due allowance is made for all damaged,
expired and slow moving items.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the
related revenue is recognised. The amount of any allowance for write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all
losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal
of any allowance for write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction
in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(k) Contract assets/Contract liabilities


Contract assets are recognised when the Group’s right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage
of time. Contract assets are subject to impairment in accordance to MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (see note 2(o)(i)).
Contract liabilities are stated at cost and represents the obligation of the Group to transfer goods or services to a customer
for which consideration has been received (or the amount is due) from the customers.

(l) Contract costs


(i) Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
The Group recognises incremental costs of obtaining contracts when the Group expects to recover these costs.

182 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l) Contract costs (continued)
(ii) Costs to fulfil a contract
The Group recognises a contract cost that relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract as an asset when
the cost generates or enhances resources of the Group, will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future
and it is expected to be recovered.
These contract costs are initially measured at cost and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the
pattern of revenue recognition to which the asset relates. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss when
the carrying amount of the contract cost exceeds the expected revenue less expected cost that will be incurred. Where
the impairment condition no longer exists or has improved, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the
carrying amount of the contract cost does not exceed the amount that would have been recognised had there been
no impairment loss recognised previously.

(m) Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which
have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less, and are used by the Group in
the management of their short term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits.

(n) Assets classified as held for sale


Assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or
distribution to owners rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or distribution.
Immediately before classification as held for sale or distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are
remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost of disposal.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro
rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, contract assets, contract costs, financial assets, deferred tax
assets, and investment properties, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale or distribution and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement
are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale or distribution are not amortised or
depreciated. In addition, equity accounting of equity-accounted associates and joint ventures ceases once classified as held
for sale or distribution.

(o) Impairment
(i) Financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost,
debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets and lease receivables.
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss, except for debt securities
that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date, cash and bank balance and other debt securities for
which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which are measured at 12-month expected
credit loss. Loss allowances for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables are always measured at an
amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and
when estimating expected credit loss, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant
and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis,
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information,
where available.

IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021 183


Financial Statements

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(o) Impairment (continued)
(i) Financial assets (continued)
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the
expected life of the asset, while 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result
from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The maximum period considered
when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
The Group estimates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix with reference to
historical credit loss experience.
An impairment loss in respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss and the
carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
An impairment loss in respect of debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is
recognised in profit or loss.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at
fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or
more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or full) to the extent that there is no realistic
prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or
sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However,
financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s
procedures for recovery amounts due.

(ii) Other assets


The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, lease receivables, deferred tax assets, development
properties, investment properties measured at fair value and non-current assets classified as held for sale) are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same
time and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates
cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating
units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating
units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed
reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a
business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs
of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units
are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of cash-
generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of
cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.

184 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(o) Impairment (continued)
(ii) Other assets (continued)
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised
in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or
no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited
to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.

(p) Equity instruments


Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.

(i) Issue expenses


Costs directly attributable to the issue of shares and share options classified as equity are recognised as a deduction
from equity.

(ii) Ordinary shares


Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(iii) Distributions of non-cash assets to owners of the Company


The Group measures a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to the owners of the Company at the fair
value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at each reporting period and
at the settlement date, with any changes recognised directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution.
On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognises the difference, if any, between the carrying amounts of the
assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss.

(q) Perpetual securities


Perpetual securities do not have a maturity date and the issuer is able to elect to defer making a distribution, subject to the
terms and conditions of the securities issue. Accordingly, perpetual securities are presented within equity as the issuer is
not considered to have a contractual obligation to make principle repayments or distributions in respect of its perpetual
securities. Distributions are treated as dividends which will be directly debited from retained earnings. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issuance of perpetual securities are deducted against the proceeds from the issue.

(r) Compound financial instruments


A compound financial instrument is a non-derivative financial instrument that contains both a liability and an equity component.
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at
the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.
The proceeds are first allocated to the liability component, determined based on the fair value of a similar liability that
does not have a conversion feature or similar associated equity component. The residual amount is allocated as the equity
component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to
their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured
subsequent to initial recognition.
Interest, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognised in profit or loss. On conversion, the financial liability
is reclassified to equity; no gain or loss is recognised on conversion.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(s) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are
measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus if the Group has a present
legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to which
they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future
payments is available.

(ii) Defined benefit plans


The Group has non-funded defined benefit plans given to employees of certain subsidiaries within the Group.
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit retirement plan and termination plan are calculated separately
for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their services in the
current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation
results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits
available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate
the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan
assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in
other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense or income on the net defined liability or
asset for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of
the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability or asset, taking into account any changes in the net defined
benefit liability or asset during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments.
Net interest expense and other expenses relating to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past
service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and
losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
The gain or loss on settlement is the difference between the present value of the defined benefit obligation being
settled as determined on the date of settlement and the settlement price, including any plan assets transferred and
any payments made directly by the Group in connection with the settlement.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions


The grant date fair value of share-based payment granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with
a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards.
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-
market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based
on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
The fair value of the employee share options is measured using the trinomial option pricing model. Measurement inputs
include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted
average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average cost of
capital, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, exchange differences and other non-operational items
(“EBITDA”) multiples, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and
non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

186 IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(t) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(u) Revenue and other income


(i) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in exchange for transferring
goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue
when (or as) it transfers control over a product or service to customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer
obtains control of the asset.
The Group transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the following criteria is met over time:
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group performs;
(b) the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced; or
(c) the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right
to payment for performance completed to date.

(ii) Rental income


Rental income receivable under operating lease is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income over the term of the
lease. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the reporting period in which they are earned.

(iii) Government grant income


Government grants related to assets are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable
assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
These grants are then recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants that
compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods
in which the expenses are recognised, unless the conditions for receiving the grant are met after the related expenses
have been recognised. In this case, the grant is recognised when it becomes receivable.

(iv) Dividend income


Dividend income from investments is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the right to receive payment is established.

(v) Finance income


Finance income comprises interest income from bank deposits and debt securities, net fair value gain of financial
instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and net exchange gain from foreign currency denominated interest-
bearing borrowings and lending.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss except for interest
income arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying
asset which is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.

IHH Healthcare Berhad Annual Report 2021 187


Financial Statements

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(v) Finance costs
Finance costs comprises interest expense on borrowings, lease liabilities and bonds, amortisation of borrowing transaction
costs and discount on bonds, bank charges, net fair value losses on financial instruments that are recognised in profit or loss
and net exchange losses from foreign currency denominated interest-bearing borrowings and lending.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of
those assets.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset
is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended
use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

(w) Income tax


Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except
to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following
temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is
not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the
tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Where investment properties are carried at their fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 2(h), the
amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of those assets at their carrying
value at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held with the objective to consume substantially all of
the economic benefits embodied in the property over time rather than through sale. In all other cases, the amount of deferred
tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets
and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they
intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
A tax incentive that is not a tax base of an asset is recognised as a reduction of tax expense in profit or loss as and when it is
granted and claimed. Any unutilised portion of the tax incentive is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(x) Earnings per ordinary share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.
Both basic and diluted EPS of the Group are adjusted to take into consideration the effect of perpetual securities distribution
on earnings.

(y) Operating segments


An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components.
Operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the Board of
Directors of the Company, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance,
and for which discrete financial information is available.

(z) Contingencies
(i) Contingent liabilities
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated
reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as a contingent liability,
unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only
be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent
liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(ii) Contingent assets


When an inflow of economic benefit of an asset is probable where it arises from past events and where existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the entity, the asset is not recognised in the statements of financial position but is being disclosed as a
contingent asset. When the inflow of economic benefit is virtually certain, then the related asset is recognised.

(aa) Fair value measurements


Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as 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 measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either
in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement 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.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value
is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the
measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfers.

Securities
As at 31 December 2021, property, plant and equipment of the Group with carrying amounts of RM2,645,020,000 (2020:
RM2,551,586,000) were charged to licensed financial institutions for credit facilities and term loans granted to the Group.

Borrowing costs
In 2021, the Group capitalised borrowing costs at 3.0% to 5.3% (2020: 3.0% to 5.3%), amounting to RM27,079,000 (2020:
RM20,800,000).

ROU assets depreciation

Impairment loss
Gleneagles Chengdu Hospital (“GCD”) was operational in late 2019. However, its ramp up was longer than expected and was
hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group performed an assessment of the recoverable amount of the property, plant and
equipment of GCD and determined it to be lower than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount was estimated based on its
fair value less costs of disposal, where majority of the property, plant and equipment (except for certain medical equipment) were
written down to nil. Accordingly, an impairment loss of RM166,074,000 was recognised in profit or loss and included in ‘depreciation
and impairment of property, plant and equipment’. The fair value measurement was categorised as a Level 3 fair value.

4. LEASES
The Group leases certain land and buildings, clinics, offices, equipment and vehicles. The leases are between more than 1 year and
99 years and may have options to renew after expiry. Lease payments are renegotiated at the end of lease terms or periodically
to reflect market rentals.

i. Depreciation capitalised in carrying amount of another asset
During the year, depreciation expense of ROU assets amounting to RM3,822,000 (2020: RM3,618,000) was capitalised
in property, plant and equipment (see note 3).

ii. Extension options


Some properties, equipment and motor vehicles leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group before
the end of the non-cancellable contract period. Where applicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in
new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by
the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension
options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or
significant changes in circumstances within its control.
The Group estimated that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise the extension options, would result in
an increase in lease liability of RM88,506,000 as at 31 December 2021 (2020: RM88,771,000).

iii. Significant judgements and assumptions in relation to lease


The Group assesses at lease commencement by applying significant judgement, whether it is reasonably certain to
exercise the extension options. Group entities consider all facts and circumstances, including their past practice and any
cost that will be incurred to change the asset if an option to extend is not taken, to help them determine the lease term.
The Group also applied judgement and assumptions in determining the incremental borrowing rate of the respective
leases. Group entities first determine the closest available borrowing rates before using significant judgement to
determine the adjustments required to reflect the term, security, value or economic environment of the respective leases.

iv. Restriction imposed by lease


For certain leases of properties, equipment and vehicles, the Group is restricted from entering into any sub-lease
arrangements.

v. Leases committed but not yet commenced


As at 31 December 2021, the Group has entered into new leases which will result in an increase in lease liability of
RM53,611,000 (2020: RM45,391,000).

vi. Impairment loss


In 2020, RGE Group continued to incur operating losses arising from the challenges faced in its business operations.
The Group performed an assessment of the recoverable amount using the value in use approach and determined the
recoverable amount to be lower than the carrying amount. Accordingly, an impairment loss of RM32,455,000 was
recognised in profit or loss and included in ‘depreciation and impairment of right-of-use assets’.

Determination of fair value


The fair values of investment properties were determined by external, independent valuation companies, having appropriate
recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of properties being valued.

Valuation processes
In determining the fair value, the valuers have used valuation methods which involved certain estimates. In assessing the fair
value measurements, the Group reviewed the valuation methodologies and evaluated the assessments made by the valuers. The
Group exercised its judgement and was satisfied that the valuation methods and estimates were reflective of the current market
conditions. The valuation reports were prepared in accordance with recognised appraisal and valuation standards.
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values of investment properties, as well as the
significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation models.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill, brand names and hospital licences
(a) Healthcare services and Education services CGUs
Key assumptions used in determining recoverable amount
For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amounts are allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which are the
cash-generating units (“CGU”). Recoverable amount of each CGU, except for PLife REIT, is estimated based on its value in
use. The value in use calculations apply a discounted cash flow model using cash flow projections based on past experience,
actual operating results, approved financial budgets for 2022 and 5 years business plans.
The key assumptions for the computation of value in use of goodwill, brand names and hospital licences included the following:
(i) Anticipated annual revenue growth rates for 2022 to 2026 (2020: 2021 to 2025):

2021 2020
Per annum Per annum

Singapore healthcare services 0%–13% 5%–12%

China healthcare services 0%–33% 17%–28%
Turkey healthcare services 25%–27% 24%–27%
Education services 32%–38% 29%–31%

The projections were in line with the proposed expansion plans for the respective CGUs.
(iii) Terminal value was estimated using the perpetuity growth model:

2021 2020

Singapore healthcare services 1.0% 1.0%


Malaysia healthcare services 3.0% 3.0%
India healthcare services
– Fortis Group 4.6% 4.6%
– RGE Group –* 5.0%
China healthcare services 3.0% 3.0%
Turkey healthcare services 5.0% 5.0%
Education services 0% 0%

The terminal values were applied to steady-state estimated earnings at the end of the projected period.
(iv) Discount rates based on cost of capital plus an appropriate risk premium for the respective CGUs at date of assessment:

2021 2020

Singapore healthcare services 6.2% 8.8%


Malaysia healthcare services 7.3% 12.2%
India healthcare services
– Fortis Group 12.3% 13.1%
– RGE Group –* 17.9%
China healthcare services 9.8% 12.1%
Turkey healthcare services 19.1% 26.8%
Education services 12.5% 13.0%

(v) There will be no other significant changes in government policies and regulations which will directly affect the CGUs’
businesses. Inflation for operating expenses is in line with estimated gross domestic product growth rates for the
respective countries based on past trends.
* Goodwill for RGE Group was fully impaired in 2020.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent the Group’s assessment of future trends in the healthcare and education
market and are based on both external sources and internal sources (historical data).

6. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)


Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill, brand names and hospital licences (continued)
(a) Healthcare services and Education services CGUs (continued)
Key assumptions used in determining recoverable amount (continued)
As at 31 December 2020, the Group has identified that a reasonably possible change in EBITDA margin for the years 2021 to
2025 for Fortis Group could cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount. An approximate 0.1%
increase in discount rate or 0.2% decrease in EBITDA margin for the years 2021 to 2025 would have reduced the recoverable
amount of Fortis Group to its carrying amount.
As at 31 December 2020, the Group also identified that a reasonably possible change in discount rate and EBITDA margins for
the years 2021 to 2025 for China Healthcare services could cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable
amount. An approximate 1.2% increase in discount rate or a 6.5% decrease in the revenue growth rates for the years 2021 to
2025 at the reporting date would have reduced the recoverable amount of China healthcare services to the carrying amount.
In 2020, RGE Group continued to incur operating losses arising from challenges faced in its business operations, especially
in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group performed an assessment of recoverable amount using the value in
use approach for RGE Group and determined the recoverable amount of the CGU was lower than its carrying amount.
Accordingly, an impairment loss of RM396,513,000 on RGE Group was recognised in ‘other operating expenses’ in the
statement of profit or loss.
Except as mentioned above, the Group believes there are no reasonably foreseeable changes in the above key assumptions
that would cause the carrying values of the remaining CGUs to materially exceed their recoverable amounts, other than
changes in prevailing operating environments, of which the impact is not ascertainable.

(b) PLife REIT


The recoverable amount of PLife REIT is based on fair value less cost to sell, using the open market price of PLife REIT as at
the end of the financial year.

Significant judgements and estimates in measurement of the recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries
During the year, the Company continued to face challenges in its investment in the subsidiary that held investments in subsidiaries
in Central and Eastern Europe, in particular the continuing depreciation of Turkish Lira currency over the years. Hence, significant
judgements and estimates were required in deriving the recoverable amount of this investment.

Changes in investments in subsidiaries


On 12 July 2021, Integrated Healthcare Holdings (Bharat) Limited (“IHH(B)L”) was struck off from the Register of Companies
pursuant to Section 308 of the Mauritius Companies Act 2001. Consequential thereto, the Company wrote off its cost of investment
in IHH(B)L against provision made in prior years.
Details of the subsidiaries are as disclosed in note 42.
Although the Group owns less than half of the ownership interest in the following entities, the Group consolidated them as
subsidiaries in accordance with MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, on the following basis:

a) Fortis
The Group controls majority of Fortis’ board by virtue of the share subscription agreement with Fortis.

b) Gleneagles JPMC Sdn. Bhd. (“GJPMC”)


Prior to 31 October 2020, the Group controlled the Board of GJPMC by virtue of agreement with other shareholders of GJPMC.
On 31 October 2020, the Group lost its control of GJPMC following a dilution in its interest in the entity (see note 40). As a
result, GJPMC ceased to be consolidated as a subsidiary but is equity accounted for as an associate of the Group.

c) PLife REIT
The Group has de facto control over PLife REIT, on the basis that the remaining voting rights in PLife REIT are widely
dispersed and there is no indication all other shareholders exercise their votes collectively.
The Group, via PLife REIT, does not hold any ownership interest in the special purpose entities (“SPEs”) listed in note 42.
Notwithstanding that the Group does not have any direct or indirect shareholdings in these SPEs, the Group has accounted for
the SPEs as subsidiaries in accordance with MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, as PLife REIT receives substantially
all of the returns related to the SPEs’ operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct these SPEs’ activities that
most significantly affect their returns based on the terms of agreements under which these SPEs were established.

Group
2021 2020
RM’000 RM’000

Deductible temporary difference 1,223,589 1,179,265


Unutilised tax losses 3,740,951 3,548,672

(2020: RM1,707,569,000) which will expire in the next 1 to 8 years.

PTM long term incentive plan (cash-settled)


In 2009, the long term incentive (“LTI”) plan of a subsidiary, Parkway Trust Management Limited (“PTM”), was approved to award
eligible employees with units in PLife REIT held by PTM when certain prescribed performance targets are met. The LTI plan is
administered by the Nominating and Remuneration Committee of PTM.

Provision for unconsumed leave


The balances represent the cash value of the unconsumed leave balance entitled to the employees at the end of the financial year.
Employees of certain subsidiaries can carry-forward a portion of the unconsumed leave and utilise it in future service periods or
receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Unconsumed leave that does not fall due wholly within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are not expected to be utilised wholly within
twelve months after the end of such period is classified as non-current. The obligation is measured based on independent actuarial
valuation using projected unit credit method.

Deferred bonus scheme (cash-settled)


There are various deferred bonus schemes within the Group that are awarded to eligible employees when certain prescribed
performance targets are met and/or the employee remains within the Group for a prescribed period. These deferred bonus
schemes would vest in tranches over a prescribed period. The aim of such deferred bonus schemes is to make total employee
remuneration sufficiently competitive to recruit, reward, retain and motivate outstanding employees.

Share-based payment scheme
(a) LTIP
On 25 March 2011, the Group established the LTIP scheme to grant non-transferrable convertible units to eligible employees
of the Group.
The LTIP units granted will vest in the participants within three years from the date of grant. All LTIP units that have been
granted and vested must be surrendered to the Company for allotment of shares of the Company on the basis of one share
for each LTIP unit. The LTIP units have no exercise price and the LTIP scheme was in force for a period of 10 years from
25 March 2011 and expired on 24 March 2021. LTIP units that lapsed upon expiry of the scheme were converted to a cash-
settled payout which is part of the deferred bonus scheme.

Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts below:

Group
Increase Decrease
RM’000 RM’000

2021
Discount rate (1% movement) (9,045) 10,767
Future salary growth (1% movement) 10,737 (9,174)

Future salary growth (1% movement) 9,694 (8,291)
Future mortality (1% movement) – –

Whilst the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an
approximation to the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.

23. EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION BENEFITS


Certain Turkey-based subsidiaries of the Group are required by local laws 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 services, dies or
who retires after completing 25 years of service (20 years for women) and reaches the retirement age (58 years for women and
60 years for men).
The termination benefits are calculated as one month gross salary for every employment year and as at 31 December 2021,
the ceiling amount has been limited to TL8,285 (2020: TL7,117), equivalent to RM2,586 (2020: RM3,881). The reserve has been
calculated by estimating the present value of future probable obligations of these subsidiaries arising from retirement of the
employees. The calculation was based upon the retirement pay ceiling announced by the local government.
In Bulgaria, the subsidiaries have an obligation to pay certain amounts to each employee who retires in accordance with Art. 222,
3 of the Labor Code (“LC”). According to these regulations in the LC, when a labor contract of an employee, who has acquired
a pension right, is ended, the employer is obliged to pay to the employee compensations in the amount of two gross monthly
salaries. In case the employee’s length of service in the Company equals to or is greater than 10 or more years as at the retirement
date, the compensation amounts to six gross monthly salaries.

Provision for loan taken by a joint venture
In 2013, Khubchandani Hospitals Private Limited (“KHPL”), a 50% owned joint venture, was granted a term loan facility to fund the
construction and pre-operating costs of its hospital. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, Parkway Holdings Limited (“PHL”),
is a joint sponsor under the Sponsor Support Agreement for the term loan facility where the sponsors are required to provide for
any shortfall payable by KHPL in the event of termination or non-completion of the hospital project. On 5 January 2017, the bank
served a notice to KHPL that the hospital project was unlikely to be completed. In view that KHPL is unlikely to be able to repay the
loan, the Group made a provision for its 50% share of the amounts that KHPL owes the licensed bank.

Call option granted to NCI


The Group granted a call option to non-controlling interests of RGE to purchase the Group’s 3% interest in RGE on a fully diluted
basis, at a fixed price of INR500.0 million (equivalent to RM28.3 million), pursuant to an option agreement entered with the non-
controlling interests. The call option granted to non-controlling interests is classified as a financial derivative liability.
There was no change in fair value of the call option during 2021 and 2020.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities


The Group’s derivative transactions are entered into under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) master netting
agreements. In general, under such agreements, the amounts owed by each counterparty in respect of the same transactions
outstanding in the same currency under the agreement are aggregated into a single net amount that is payable by one party to
the other. In certain circumstances, for example when a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under
the agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is due or payable in settlement of
all outstanding transactions.
The above agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position as the right to set-off recognised
amounts is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparties. In addition,
the Group and its counterparties do not intend to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
in its normal course of business.

(iii) Financial risk management


The Group and the Company have exposures to the following risks from their financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk

(iv) Credit risk


Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations. The Group’s primary exposure to credit risk, arises principally through its trade receivables and investment in
debt securities. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its amounts due from subsidiaries and financial
guarantee provided to banks for banking facilities and cross currency swaps granted to subsidiaries.

Trade receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations
are performed on major customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Self-pay customer may be requested to place an
initial deposit or obtain a letter of guarantee at the time of admission to the hospital. Additional deposit is requested from the
customer when the hospital charges exceed a certain level.
At the end of each reporting date, the Group assesses whether any of the trade receivables are credit impaired.
The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partially or fully) when there is no
realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have the assets
or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amount subject to the write-off. Nevertheless,
trade receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.
There are no significant changes as compared to previous year.

At 31 December 2021, the Group has outstanding trade receivables from one significant customer amounting to
RM196,727,000, which is individually 5% or more of the Group’s gross trade receivables. As at 31 December 2020, there
were no significant customer with outstanding trade receivables which was individually 5% or more of the Group’s gross
trade receivables.

Recognition and measurement of impairment losses


The Group uses a provision matrix to measure the lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) allowance for trade receivables.
In measuring the ECL, trade receivables are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics such as customer types,
geographic region and days past due. Customer types include self-pay customers, insurers, third party administrators and
government bodies.
Loss rate is calculated using a “roll-rate” method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive
stages of delinquency to being written off.
In calculating the ECL rates, the Group considers historical loss rates for each category of customers, based on actual
credit loss experience over the past four years. This is adjusted by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic
conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of
economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. The scalar factors for self-pay customers are based on actual
and forecast real income growth rates of respective countries. The scalar factors for corporate and government customers
are based on default probability risk rates of the customer.

Financial Statements

Notes to the Financial Statements

36. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)


(iv) Credit risk (continued)
Fixed deposits and cash and cash equivalents
Cash and fixed deposits are placed with financial institutions which are regulated and with good credit ratings. As at the end
of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement of
financial position.
The Group and the Company consider their fixed deposits and cash and cash equivalents to have low credit risk based on the
external credit ratings of the counterparties. The amount of the allowance on fixed deposits and cash and cash equivalents
was negligible.

Amounts due from subsidiaries


Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured advances to subsidiaries. The Company regularly monitors the ability of the subsidiaries
to repay the advances on an individual basis.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral


As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the
statement of financial position.

Impairment losses
The Company determines the probability of default from these receivables individually using internal information available.
The Company considers these receivable balances as low credit risk unless there is a significant increase in credit risk when
a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates significantly or the balance is overdue for more than 365 days. As at the end of
the reporting period, the ECL allowance on these low-credit-risk balances is insignificant.

Financial guarantees
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provided unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities and cross currency swaps
(“CCS”) arrangements granted to certain subsidiaries.
The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the abilities of the borrowing entities to service their loans and CCS obligations
on an individual basis.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral


The maximum exposure of the Company in respect of financial guarantees at 31 December 2021 amounted to RM958,051,000
(2020: RM1,342,214,000) representing the outstanding bank loans and CCS obligations of its subsidiaries.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company does not consider it probable that claims will be made against the Company
under the financial guarantees. The financial guarantees are not recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was
not material.

Provision for loan taken by a joint venture


Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
A wholly owned subsidiary, PHL is a joint sponsor under the Sponsor Support Agreement for the term loan facility granted
to KHPL whereby the sponsors are required to provide for any shortfall payable by KHPL in respect of the term loan facility
in the event of termination or non-completion of hospital project.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral


The maximum exposure of the Group in respect of the loan at the reporting date amounted to RM45,131,000 (2020:
RM42,021,000) representing the Group’s 50% share of bank loans drawn down and interest payable by KHPL (see note 24).
On 5 January 2017, the bank served a notice to KHPL that the hospital project was unlikely to be completed. In view that KHPL
is unlikely to be able to repay the loan, the Group made a provision for its 50% share of the amounts KHPL owed the bank.

(v) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure
to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables and loans and borrowings.

Maturity analysis
The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate
to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group ensures that it has
sufficient cash and available undrawn credit facilities to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of
financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such
as natural disasters.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly
different amounts.
The following table provides the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities as at the end of the
reporting period. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact
of netting arrangements:

(vi) Market risk


Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect
the Group’s financial position or cash flows.

(a) Foreign currency risk


The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases, cash and cash equivalents, receivables and
payables, and loans and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies
of Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Singapore Dollar, United States Dollar, Euro,
Japanese Yen, India Rupee and Chinese Renminbi.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency movements on its net
income denominated in Japanese Yen from its investments in Japan. Where necessary, the foreign exchange forward
contracts are rolled over at maturity.
The Group actively monitors its foreign currency risk and minimises such risk by borrowing in the functional currency of the
borrowing entity or by borrowing in the same currency as the foreign investment (i.e. natural hedge of net investments).
The Group also enters in cross currency interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps to realign borrowings to the
same currency of the Group’s foreign investments to achieve a natural hedge (see note 36(vii)).
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the functional currencies, the Group
ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rate where
necessary to address short term imbalances.
The nominal value and fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts, cross currency swaps and cross currency
interest rate swaps are disclosed in note 25.

(vi) Market risk (continued)
(b) Interest rate risk
This relates to changes in interest rates which affect mainly the Group’s fixed deposits and its loans and borrowings.
The Group’s fixed-rate financial assets and loans and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair values
while the variable-rate financial assets and loans and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to
changes in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
The Group has no significant concentration of interest rate risk that may arise from exposure to the Group’s fixed
deposits and its obligations with banks and financial institutions.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts as well as by rolling over its
fixed deposits and variable rate borrowings on a short-term basis. In respect of long-term borrowings, the Group may
enter into interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to adverse movements in interest rates.
Interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate caps have been entered into to achieve an
appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposures within the Group’s policy (see note 36(vii)).
The nominal value and fair value of the interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate caps
are disclosed in note 25.
Hedging relationships that are impacted by interest rate benchmark reform may experience ineffectiveness because
the uncertainty about when and how replacement may occur for the relevant hedged item and hedging instrument
due to the interest rate benchmark reform transition. For further details, see ‘Managing interest rate benchmark reform
and associated risks’ below.

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks


Overview
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of
some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as ‘interest rate benchmark
reform’). The Group has exposures to IBORs on its financial instruments that will be replaced or reformed as part of
these market-wide initiatives. The Group anticipates that interest rate benchmark reform will impact its existing risk
management practice and application of hedge accounting.
The Group evaluates the extent to which contracts reference IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to
be amended as a result of interest rate benchmark reform and how to manage communication about interest rate
benchmark reform with counterparties.

Hedge accounting
The Group has evaluated the extent to which its cash flow hedging relationships are subject to uncertainty driven by
interest rate benchmark reform as at 31 December 2021. As the last loan repricing took place on 15 November 2021,
the Group’s hedged items and hedging instruments continue to be indexed to Japanese Yen LIBOR.
As at the reporting date, the Group has completed supplementary loan agreement for certain bank loans at no increase
in loan interest and finalised the key term of the derivatives instrument arising from the IBORs reform with the respective
counterparties. The interest bearing loans and derivatives (hedging instruments) will be transited on the same date and
to the same benchmark indexes to avoid any ineffectiveness in relation to the application of the hedge accounting. The
hedging relationships were not affected arising from this transition.
The Group’s exposure to Japanese Yen LIBOR or Singapore-dollar SOR designated in hedging relationships is
SGD332.4 million and SGD81.9 million (equivalent to approximately RM1.02 billion and RM252.3 million) nominal amount
at 31 December 2021, respectively, representing both the nominal amount of the derivative financial instruments and
the principal amount of the Group’s hedged JPY-denominated and SGD-denominated committed bank loan liabilities
maturing in 2024 to 2027.

(vii) Hedging activities


Interest rate caps
As part of the Group’s effort in managing its exposure to interest rate movement on its floating rate loans, the Group also
entered into interest rate caps during the year. As at 31 December 2021, the Group had interest rate caps with a notional
principal of RM863,268,000 (2020: RM925,428,000).
These instruments are designated as hedging instruments. As at 31 December 2021, the change of time value of the interest
rate caps of RM213,000 loss (2020: RM234,000 gain) was recognised in the cost of hedging reserve. There was no intrinsic
value recognised in the hedge reserve during the year.

Cash flow hedge


The Group manages its exposure to interest rate movements on certain floating rate loans and borrowings by entering into
interest rate swaps, where appropriate. As at 31 December 2021, the Group has interest rate swaps with a total notional
amount of RM161,085,000 (2020: RM318,602,000) to provide fixed rate funding up to 2024 (2020: up to 2024) at a weighted
average effective interest rate of 0.16% (2020: 0.13%) per annum.
Also, the Group has cross currency interest rate swaps (“CCIRS”) with notional amount of RM252,311,000
(2020: RM404,029,000) as at 31 December 2021 to manage its foreign currency risk and interest rate risk arising from the
financing of Japanese properties using Singapore dollar facilities. To maintain a natural hedge, the Group utilised CCIRS to
realign the Singapore dollar denominated loans back into effective Japanese Yen denominated loans to match its underlying
Japanese Yen denominated assets.

(vii) Hedging activities (continued)
Cash flow hedge (continued)
As at 31 December 2021, where the interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps were designated as hedging
instruments in qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the swaps of RM11,617,000
gain (2020: RM7,995,000 loss) and RM19,013,000 gain (2020: RM6,329,000 loss) were recognised in the hedge reserve
and FCTR respectively.
In 2020, where hedge accounting was discontinued, not practised or ineffective, change in fair value of interest rate swaps
amounting to RM144,000 gain was charged to profit or loss. Accordingly, change in fair value of these interest rate swaps,
previously recognised in the hedge reserve amounting to RM131,000 loss was reclassified to profit or loss. Change in fair
value of CCIRS of RM1,779,000 loss was also recognised in profit or loss.
At 31 December 2021, the Group held the following instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates.

market prices for similar items when they are available, and depreciated replacement
cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments for
physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.

Intangible assets Cost technique, relief-from-royalty method and multi period excess earnings
method: The cost technique considers the opportunity cost in the process of
obtaining final approval of the hospital license. The relief-from-royalty method
considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be
avoided as result of the patents or trademarks being owned. The multi period excess
earnings method considers the forecasted revenues of the intangibles after taking
into consideration the impact of the lifespan and competition of the intangibles on
the revenue generated.

excellence and expertise to deliver optimised, comprehensive care to both local and foreign patients.

45. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The following are the material litigations and investigations of Fortis which occurred prior to the Group’s acquisition of its 31.17%
interest in Fortis in November 2018:
(a) In respect of Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre Limited (“EHIRCL”), a subsidiary of Fortis:
i. The Delhi Development Authority (“DDA”) had terminated the lease deeds and allotment letters relating to land parcels
on which the Fortis Escorts Hospital exists due to certain alleged non-compliances of such documents. Consequent to
the termination, DDA issued show cause notice and initiated eviction proceedings against EHIRCL. These terminations,
show cause notices and eviction proceedings have been challenged by EHIRCL before the High Court of Delhi,
Supreme Court of India and Estate Officer of DDA. The Supreme Court of India, vide its order dated 14 November 2019,
has quashed the show cause notice for eviction proceedings. Based on external legal counsel advice, Fortis is of the
understanding that EHIRCL will be able to suitably defend the termination of lease deeds and allotment letters and
accordingly considers that no adjustments are required.
ii. Further EHIRCL also has open tax demands of INR665.7 million (equivalent to RM37.7 million) for various assessment
years before the Indian Income-tax authorities. While the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) decided the case in
favour of EHIRCL in the past, the Income Tax Department has filed an appeal before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
(“ITAT”). ITAT has decided the appeal in favour of EHIRCL on 11 June 2019. The Income Tax Department has contested
the decision of ITAT before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi.
iii. In relation to the judgement of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi relating to provision of free treatment/beds to the
economically weaker sections of society pursuant to such obligations set forth under certain land grant orders/
allotment letters (“EWS Obligations”), the Directorate of Health Services (“DoHS”), Government of NCT of Delhi,
appointed a firm to calculate “unwarranted profits” arising to EHIRCL due to alleged non-compliance of such EWS
Obligations. Following various hearings and appeals between 2014 and 2018, in a hearing before the DoHS in May
2018, an order was passed imposing a penalty of INR5.03 billion (equivalent to RM283.9 million) which was challenged
by EHIRCL before the Delhi High Court. Through an order dated 1 June 2018, the Delhi High Court has issued notice
and directed that no coercive steps may be taken subject to EHIRCL depositing a sum of INR50 million (equivalent to
RM2.8 million) before the DoHS. In compliance of the above direction, EHIRCL had deposited the stipulated amount
on 20 June 2018. Matter is sub judice before the Delhi High Court. Based on its internal assessment and advice from
its counsel, on the basis of the documents available, EHIRCL believes that it is in compliance of the conditions of free
treatment and free beds to patients of economic weaker sections and expects the demand to be set aside.
(b) In respect of Hiranandani Healthcare Private Limited (“HHPL”), a subsidiary of Fortis:
Through an order dated 18 January 2017, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (“NMMC”) terminated the lease agreements
with HHPL (“Termination Order”) for certain alleged contravention of such hospital lease agreement. HHPL has filed a
writ petition before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India towards challenging the Termination Order. The writ petition has
been tagged with special leave petition which has also been filed by HHPL for inter alia challenging the actions of State
Government, City Industrial Development Corporation and the NMMC which led to the passing of the Termination Order.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the hearing held on 30 January 2017 ordered that status quo be maintained with
regard to the operation of the hospital. Further, the special leave petition has been admitted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court
on 22 January 2018 and status quo has been continuing ever since. Based on external legal counsel’s opinion, HHPL is
confident that it is in compliance of conditions of the hospital lease agreements and accordingly considers that no provisions
were required.
(c) A civil suit has been filed by a third party (“Claimant”) against Fortis and certain subsidiaries (together “Defendants”) before
the District Court, Delhi alleging, inter alia, implied ownership of the “Fortis”, “SRL” and “La-Femme” brands in addition
to certain other financial claims and seeking a decree that consequent to a term sheet with a certain party, Fortis is liable
for claims due to the Claimant from that certain party. In connection with this, the District Court passed an ex-parte order
directing that any transaction undertaken by the defendants, in favour of any other party, affecting the interest of the Claimant
shall be subject to orders passed by the District Court in the said civil suit. Additionally, the said certain party with whom the
term sheet had been allegedly signed has also claimed that Fortis has not abided by the aforementioned term sheet and has
therefore claimed alleged ownership over the brands apart from the alleged claim to have a right to invest in Fortis.
Fortis has filed written statements denying all allegations made against it and sought for dismissal of the said civil suit.
Allegations made by the said certain party have been duly responded by Fortis denying (i) execution of any binding
agreement with certain party, and (ii) liability of any kind whatsoever.

45. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)


In addition to the above, Fortis has also received four notices from the Claimant claiming (i) INR180 million (equivalent to
RM10.2 million) as per notices dated 30 May 2018, and 1 June 2018, (ii) INR2,158 million (equivalent to RM121.8 million) as
per notice dated 4 June 2018, and (iii) INR196 million (equivalent to RM11.1 million) as per notice dated 4 June 2018. All these
notices have been responded by Fortis denying any liability whatsoever.
The Claimant has also filed an application against Fortis before the High Court of Delhi for seeking certain reliefs under the
Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act which is being contested by Fortis. The Claimant has also filed a claim for damages
and injunctive reliefs against Fortis before International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). Documents from ICC have been
received by Fortis on 2 November 2019. On 23 February 2020, proceedings before the High Court of Delhi and ICC have
been withdrawn by the Claimant. On 28 February 2020, the arbitration sought to be commenced before the ICC has also
been withdrawn by the ICC pursuant to a request by the Claimant.
Based on opinions from external legal counsel, Fortis Board believes that the claims are without legal basis and are not
tenable and accordingly, no provisions were required.
(d) Fortis, having considered all necessary facts and taking into account external legal advice, had decided to treat as non-est
the Letter of Appointment dated 27 September 2016, as amended, (“LOA”) issued to Malvinder Mohan Singh, the erstwhile
Executive Chairman in relation to his appointment as “Lead: Strategic Initiatives” in the Strategy Functions. The external legal
counsel has also advised that the payments made to him under this LOA would be considered to be covered under the limits
of Section 197 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013.
In view of the above, Fortis has taken requisite action to recover the amounts paid to the erstwhile Executive Chairman during
his tenure under the aforesaid LOA and certain additional amounts reimbursed in relation to expenses incurred (in excess
of amounts approved by the Central Government under Section 197 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013 for remuneration &
other reimbursement), aggregating to INR200.2 million (equivalent to RM11.3 million).
The erstwhile Executive Chairman has claimed an amount of INR461.0 million (equivalent to RM26.0 million) from Fortis
towards his terms of employment. Fortis Board has responded denying any liability whatsoever in this regards.
In August 2018, Fortis filed a complaint against the erstwhile Executive Chairman before the Economic Offence Wing, New
Delhi in the above matter. In November 2020, Fortis filed an addendum to the above-mentioned complaint to include certain
other findings from additional procedures/enquiries by independent experts in relation to the remuneration and claims of the
erstwhile Executive Chairman of Fortis, aggregating to INR153.9 million (equivalent to RM8.7 million).
In addition to the above, the following are contingent liabilities of the Group:
(a) Centre for Digestive and Kidney Diseases (India) Private Limited is defending an ongoing dispute with a service provider
for the difference in the amounts claimed for the laboratory diagnostic and other services being rendered. On 12 July 2019,
the arbitrator allowed the amended claim of INR474.9 million (equivalent to RM26.8 million). The service provider has
subsequently filed an amendment application seeking an enhancement of their claim by INR75.4 million (equivalent to
RM4.3 million) for the alleged dues pertaining to the period of December 2018 to June 2020. On 30 July 2021, the arbitration
has been fully and finally settled at INR 160.0 million (RM9.1 million).
(b) In 2019, Continental Hospitals Private Limited (“Continental Hospital”) received letters from the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”)
pointing out certain non-compliances with Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 (“FEMA”). RBI sought clarifications on
the status of this matter before the Singapore Arbitral Tribunal. By way of a compounding order dated 26 October 2021,
the RBI has allowed Continental Hospital to regularize these non-compliances upon payment of a compounding fee of INR
3,869,000 (approx. RM220,000). Continental Hospital has deposited this compounding fee with the RBI on 28 October
2021. The contingent liability on the Group ceased upon the disposal of its entire equity interest in Continental Hospital on
13 December 2021.

46. MATTERS ARISING FROM INVESTIGATIONS
The Group completed its acquisition of Fortis Healthcare Limited (“Fortis”) and its subsidiaries (“Fortis Group”) in November 2018.
Prior to this acquisition, an investigation report by an independent external legal firm was submitted to the former Fortis board
and there are ongoing investigations on Fortis by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and the Serious Fraud
Investigation Office (“SFIO”), Ministry of Corporate Affairs of India, both further explained below.
(a) Independent investigation by external legal firm (prior to the acquisition of Fortis by IHH Group)
The external legal firm’s significant findings revealed that the Fortis Group had made investment placements in the nature
of inter-corporate deposits (“ICDs”) with three companies (“borrowing companies”) totalling INR4,450 million (equivalent
to RM251.1 million) which were impaired in full in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 of Fortis Group.
The report suggested that the ICDs were utilised by the borrowing companies (possible related parties of Fortis Group in
substance) for granting/repayment of loans to certain entities whose former directors of Fortis are connected with the former
controlling shareholders of Fortis.
Additionally, the placement of ICDs, their subsequent assignment and the cancellation of such assignment were done
without following the normal treasury operations and treasury mandate of Fortis Group; and without specific authorisation
by the former board of Fortis.
As disclosed in note 45 – Contingent liabilities, a third party (to whom the ICDs were previously assigned) filed a civil suit in
February 2018 against various entities including Fortis and have, inter alia, claimed implied ownership of brands “Fortis”,
“SRL” and “La-Femme”. In the suit, it claimed that consequent to a term sheet, Fortis is liable for claims due to the third party
from a certain party, in addition to total claims of INR2,534 million (equivalent to RM143.0 million) and other claims by the
said certain party. Based on advice from external legal counsel, Fortis believes that these claims are without legal basis and
are not tenable and accordingly, no provisions were required. Whilst this legal matter was included as part of the terms of
reference of the investigation, the merits of the case cannot be reported since the matter was sub-judice.
Fortis Group acquired 71% equity interest in Fortis Healthstaff Limited (“Fortis Healthstaff”) at consideration of INR346,000
(equivalent to RM20,000), and 51% equity interest in Fortis Emergency Services Limited (“Fortis Emergency Services”)
at consideration of INR25,000 (equivalent to RM1,000). Loans of INR79.45 million (equivalent to RM4.5 million) and
INR20.8 million (equivalent to RM1.2 million), were advanced to these newly-acquired subsidiaries to repay the outstanding
unsecured loan amounts due to companies related to the former controlling shareholders of Fortis. The report suggested
that the loan repayment and some other payments to companies connected to the former controlling shareholders of Fortis
may have been ultimately routed through various intermediary companies and used for repayment of the ICDs/vendor
advance to Fortis Group. Further the said loan advanced by EHIRCL to Fortis Healthstaff was impaired in the books of
accounts at EHIRCL due to anticipated chances of non-recovery.
Pursuant to the investigation by the external legal firm, Fortis Board appointed an independent accounting firm, to conduct
additional procedures and enquiries of certain entities and transactions in Fortis Group to ascertain, amongst other things,
the extent of diversion of funds from Fortis Group. The independent accounting firm submitted their report to the Fortis
Board, and the Fortis Board deliberated the findings at its meeting held on 16 September 2020. There were no additional
findings arising from the report that requires further adjustments to the financial statements.
In November 2020, pursuant to additional procedures/enquiries by independent experts, Fortis and its subsidiaries filed a
complaint before the Economic Offence Wing, New Delhi, against the erstwhile promoters and certain other entities with
regard to the above-mentioned acquisition of Fortis Healthstaff, acquisition of Fortis Emergency Services and investments
in ICDs. The complaint also included certain other findings from additional procedures/enquiries by independent experts
in relation to Fortis Group’s acquisition of Birdie and Birdie Realtors Private Limited and a lease agreement with Dignity
Buildcon Private Limited. Pursuant to the said complaint, on 3 July 2021, a First Information Report was registered by the
Economic Offence Wing, New Delhi, against the erstwhile promoters. Investigation is underway.

Notes to the Financial Statements

46. MATTERS ARISING FROM INVESTIGATIONS (continued)


(b) Regulatory investigations (prior to the acquisition of Fortis by IHH Group)
SEBI Investigation
On 17 October 2018, 21 December 2018 and 19 March 2019, SEBI issued interim orders (“Interim Orders”), indicating, amongst
others, certain transactions were structured by some identified entities, which were prima facie fictitious and fraudulent
in nature, resulting in, inter alia, diversion of funds from the Fortis Group for the ultimate benefit of former controlling
shareholders of Fortis (and certain entities controlled by them) and misrepresentation in financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2018 of Fortis Group. Further, it issued certain interim directions, inter alia, directing Fortis shall take all
necessary steps to recover INR4,030 million (equivalent to RM227.4 million), along with due interest, from former controlling
shareholders of Fortis and various other entities identified in the orders. Vide an order dated 12 November 2020, SEBI
revoked the aforementioned Interim Orders qua Best Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Fern Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. and Modland Wears
Pvt. Ltd. and substituted the ongoing investigation with Adjudication Proceedings. This order further clarified that Fortis and
Fortis Hospitals Limited (“FHsL”) can pursue legal remedies against these entities with respect to their role in the diversion
of funds by the erstwhile promoters.
On 20 November 2020, a Show-Cause Notice (SCN) was issued by SEBI to various entities including Fortis and FHsL. In
the SCN, it has inter alia been alleged that the consolidated financials of Fortis at the relevant period were untrue and
misleading for the shareholders of Fortis and Fortis has circumvented certain provisions of the SEBI Act, Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Act, 1956, and certain SEBI regulations. In response, a joint representation/reply was filed by Fortis and FHsL
on 28 December 2020 praying for quashing of the SCN. Fortis and FHsL have taken legal actions against the erstwhile
promoters and taken steps to recover the diverted amounts.
On 21 January 2021, oral submissions in response to the SCN were made in a personal hearing before SEBI and a written
synopsis of the same has been filed. No orders have yet been passed.
On 9 April 2021, SEBI issued another SCN (“EHIRCL SCN”) to various noticees including Escorts Heart Institute and Research
Centre Limited (“EHIRCL”), a subsidiary of Fortis in furtherance of the SEBI investigation. In response thereto, a representation
was filed by EHIRCL on 11 June 2021 submitting reasons as to why the EHIRCL SCN ought to be quashed. Oral submissions
were also made in a personal hearing before SEBI on 16 June 2021 and a written synopsis of the same has been filed. No
orders have yet been passed.
Regarding the SEBI investigations, management as well as external legal counsels are of the opinion that while no outcome
can be predicted with certainty, the likelihood of any potential remedial measures being directed against Fortis and FHsL is
low and any potential financial impact of such measures is not expected to be material.
SFIO Investigation
Investigation by the SFIO is ongoing. Fortis Group has been submitting all the information required by the various investigating
agencies and is fully cooperating in the investigations/inquiries.
Regarding the SFIO proceedings, the outcome of the investigation cannot be predicted at this juncture and the financial
impact to the Group, if any, will be recognised in the period that the outcome is known.
(c) Actions taken by Fortis Group
With respect to the above findings by the external legal firm, the Fortis Board has implemented specific improvement
projects to strengthen the process and control environment. These include review and revision of operational and financial
authority levels, greater oversight by Fortis Board, review and improvement of financial reporting processes, more robust
secretarial documentation in regard to compliance to regulatory requirements and improving systems design and control
enhancement. Accordingly, steps have been taken in relation to enhanced authority levels for payments/transfer of funds
within Fortis Group, and review of borrowings above certain levels by the Fortis Board. Fortis Group had also disengaged
itself from the former controlling shareholders. Fortis Board continues to evaluate other areas to strengthen processes and
build a robust governance framework. The Fortis Board has initiated an enquiry of the management of the certain entities in the
Fortis Group that were impacted in respect of the matters investigated by the external legal firm. To this end, Fortis Board
had also appointed an independent accounting firm, to conduct enquiries of certain entities and transactions in Fortis Group
to ascertain, amongst other things, the extent of diversion of funds from Fortis Group. The independent accounting firm
submitted their report to the Fortis Board, and the Fortis Board deliberated the findings at its meeting held on 16 September
2020. Pursuant to additional procedures/enquiries by independent experts, Fortis and its subsidiaries have filed a complaint
before the Economic Offence Wing, New Delhi, against the erstwhile promoters and certain other entities.

46. MATTERS ARISING FROM INVESTIGATIONS (continued)
(c) Actions taken by Fortis Group (continued)
As per the directions from SEBI, Fortis Group has taken steps to recover dues from the former controlling shareholders of Fortis
and various other entities. These include initiating civil actions against these entities demanding recovery of the outstanding
amounts together with interest and to secure repayment of the outstanding amounts on the assets of these entities.
Based on the findings of investigations to-date, all identified/required adjustments/disclosures have been recorded in the
financial statements of Fortis Group prior to the Group’s acquisition in November 2018. Fortis is fully co-operating with the
regulators in relation to the ongoing investigations to enable the regulators to conclude their investigations. Any further
adjustments/disclosures, if required, would be made in the financial statements of Fortis Group pursuant to the above actions
to be taken by the internal/regulatory investigations, as and when the outcome of the above is known. In connection with
the potentially improper transactions, Fortis has undertaken a detailed review of each case to assess its legal rights and has
initiated necessary action.

47. OTHER MATTERS


(a) Matter brought before the Supreme Court of India
On 13 July 2018, NTK, as subscriber, entered into a share subscription agreement (“Fortis SSA”) with Fortis, as issuer,
where NTK has agreed to subscribe 235,294,117 new equity shares of Fortis with a face value of INR10 each (“Subscription
Shares”), constituting approximately 31.17% of the total voting equity share capital of Fortis on a fully diluted basis (“Expanded
Voting Share Capital”) for a total consideration of INR4,000 crore (equivalent to RM2,257.4 million) and Fortis has agreed to
issue and allot the Subscription Shares by way of preferential allotment in accordance with the terms of the Fortis SSA
(“Proposed Subscription”).
On 13 November 2018, the Proposed Subscription was completed in accordance with the terms of the Fortis SSA. The Group
acquired 31.17% equity interest in Fortis through a preferential allotment by Fortis to NTK, and NTK became the controlling
shareholder of Fortis.
As a consequence of the Proposed Subscription, NTK was required to carry out the following:
(a) pursuant to the board resolution dated 13 July 2018 passed by the Board of Directors of Fortis approving the Proposed
Subscription and execution of the Fortis SSA (“Fortis Board Resolution”), a mandatory open offer for acquisition of
up to 197,025,660 equity shares of face value of INR10 each in Fortis, representing additional 26% of the Expanded
Voting Share Capital of Fortis, at a price of not less than INR170 per share (“Fortis Open Offer”) or such higher price as
required under SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (“SEBI (SAST) Regulations”).
(b) in light of the acquisition of the controlling stake of Fortis, a mandatory open offer for acquisition of up to 4,894,308 fully
paid up equity shares of face value of INR10 each in Malar, representing 26% of the paid-up equity shares of Malar at a
price of INR58 per share (“Malar Open Offer”). The Malar Open Offer is subject to the completion of the Fortis Open Offer.
On 14 December 2018, the Supreme Court of India passed an order in the matter of “Mr Vinay Prakash Singh v. Sameer
Gehlaut & Ors.” Contempt Petition (Civil) No. 2120 of 2018 (“Original Contempt Petition”), directing “status quo with regard
to sale of the controlling stake in Fortis Healthcare to Malaysian IHH Healthcare Berhad be maintained” (“Order”). Pursuant
thereto, decision was taken not to proceed with Fortis Open Offer and Malar Open Offer.
Vide its judgment dated 15 November 2019 (“Judgment”), the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India issued suo-moto contempt
notice to, among others, Fortis and in pursuance thereof, its Registry has registered a fresh contempt petition in regard to
alleged violation of the Order (“Suo-Moto Contempt”). In this respect, the Hon’ble Supreme Court sought an enquiry into:
i. Whether the subscription by NTK for the Shares of Fortis was undertaken in violation of the Order; and
ii. Whether the consummation of the acquisition of healthcare assets from RHT Health Trust by Fortis was undertaken in
violation of the Order.

Notes to the Financial Statements

47. OTHER MATTERS (continued)


(a) Matter brought before the Supreme Court of India (continued)
On 5 March 2020, Fortis has filed a detailed reply to the Suo-Moto Contempt, praying inter alia, that the Suo-Moto Contempt
proceedings be dropped and Order be modified/vacated such that the open offers may proceed.
Since the issuance of the Judgement, several parties have filed applications before the Supreme Court, in attempts to seek
remedies for themselves, as summarised below (where relevant to IHH or Fortis):
(a) Anshuman Khanna, a minority shareholder of Fortis (“Minority Shareholder”) has sought resumption of the Fortis Open
Offer but has asked that IHH to pay interest at 10% (ten percent) to the public shareholders of Fortis who are eligible to
tender shares in the Fortis Open Offer due to the delay since IHH is earning interest on the 100% of the consideration
payable under the Fortis Open Offer that has deposited in the escrow account.
(b) Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd (“Daiichi”) has sought permission to implead itself in the Suo Moto Contempt and present its
case as its rights are impacted by orders that may be passed in the Fortis Contempt Petition.
(c) The Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) sought resumption of the Fortis Open Offer citing larger public
interest at stake.
On 5 March 2020, NTK through its legal counsel, filed the necessary applications to intervene in the aforementioned
Supreme Court Proceedings, as follows:
i. intervention applications in the Original Contempt Petition and the Fortis Contempt Petition, respectively, and to enable
NTK to be heard in the Supreme Court Proceedings before any further orders are passed by the Supreme Court; and
ii. an application to vacate the Order that continues to stay the Fortis Open Offer so as to be able to consummate the
Fortis Open Offer; and support SEBI’s ask of resuming the same.
On 14 August 2020 Fortis has filed an application before the Supreme Court of India seeking approval to undertake a change
in Fortis name, brand and logo for Fortis and its subsidiaries (“Fortis Rebranding Application”).
The Fortis Contempt Petition, the Order, the Original Contempt Petition, the Suo-Moto Contempt, the Judgment, the
applications filed by the Minority Shareholder, Daiichi and SEBI, and the Fortis Rebranding Application, respectively, are
collectively referred to as the “Supreme Court Proceedings”.
Fortis has filed an additional affidavit responding to the queries put forth by Supreme Court. Arguments are being heard by
Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for adjudication of the matters pending before it.
In light of the Judgement, the Fortis Open Offer as well the Malar Open Offer (which is subject to the completion of the Fortis
Open Offer) will not proceed for the time being.
Hearings in the Supreme Court Proceedings have concluded on 12 May 2021 and the judgement is now reserved.
Based on opinions from external legal counsel, the Group believes that it has a strong case on merits. Fortis had, at all times,
conducted these transactions in a fair and transparent manner after obtaining all regulatory and shareholders approval and
only after making all due disclosures to public shareholders of Fortis and to the regulatory authorities, in a timely manner.
Based on the opinions from NTK’s and Fortis’ external legal counsel, the outcome of the proceedings in the Supreme Court
cannot be predicted at this juncture and the financial impact, if any, to the Group will be recognised in the period the outcome
is known. NTK has filed requisite applications/pleadings before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and has pleaded in
the said applications that the preferential allotment of shares was done in a fair and transparent manner after obtaining all
regulatory approvals.

47. OTHER MATTERS (continued)
(b) Matter brought before the United States Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey
On 16 June 2020, Emqore Envesecure Private Capital Trust (“Emqore”) filed a suit against, among others, IHH. IHH was
served on 26 July 2021 with Emqore’s original complaint and Emqore’s Motion to Amend its original complaint (“Motion to
Amend”). The Motion to Amend was pending adjudication before the United States Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey (“US District Court”) until 30 November 2021 when Emqore’s amended complaint was allowed at the US District
Court (“Amended Complaint”). Emqore subsequently filed its Amended Complaint on 3 December 2021. The Amended
Complaint is now an operative pleading.
Pursuant to the Amended Complaint, Emqore is seeking for, among others, damages in excess of USD 6.5 billion comprising
compensatory damages plus treble damages and attorneys’ fees pursuant to the U.S. Racketeer, Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, against 28 named defendants and 20 non-party defendants.
Emqore’s claim against IHH essentially arises from and/or relates to allegations relating to the issuance of the shares of
Fortis Healthcare Ltd. (“Fortis”) to IHH’s subsidiary in/or around 2018. Emqore broadly alleges that it has purportedly suffered
losses as the defendants had allegedly conspired to frustrate a proposed share acquisition transaction between Fortis and
Emqore’s supposed predecessors.
On 28 January 2022, IHH has filed a motion to dismiss Emqore’s Amended Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction, failure
to state a claim, and the forum non conveniens and international abstention doctrines.
Based on opinions from external legal counsel, the Group is of the view that it has strong grounds for seeking dismissal of
Emqore’s claims and intends to defend vigorously against the claims.
Based on the opinions from external legal counsel, the outcome of the proceedings in the US District Court cannot be
predicted at this juncture and the financial impact, if any, to the Group will be recognised in the period the outcome is known.
