Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad Annual Report 2021 190 Our Sustainability Approach About This Report We Are Kenanga Message From Chairman and GMD 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D.) (iii) (cont’d.) Overlays and adjustments for ECL amidst COVID-19 environment As the current MFRS 9 models are not expected to generate levels of ECL with sufficient reliability in view of the unprecedented and on-going COVID-19 pandemic, overlays have been applied to determine a sufficient overall level of ECL for the year ended and as at 31 December 2021. These overlay adjustments were taken to reflect the latest macroeconomic outlook not captured in the modelled outcome and the potential impact to delinquencies and defaults when the various relief and support measures are expiring in 2021. The overlays involved significant level of judgement and reflect the management's views of possible severities of the pandemic and paths of recovery in the forward looking assessment for ECL estimation purposes. The customers who have received repayment supports remain in their existing stages unless they have been individually identified as not viable or with subsequent indicators of significant increase in credit risk from each of their pre-COVID-19 status. The overlays were generally made at portfolio level in determining the sufficient level of ECL. The adjusted downside scenario assumes a continuous restrictive economic environment due to COVID-19. Total overlays for ECL inclusive of the macro-economic adjustments maintained by the Group as at 31 December 2021 are RM3.2 million (2020: RM3.2 million). The scenarios applied in management overlay in estimating the reported ECL arising from COVID-19 uncertainties are set out in the table as follow: Scenarios ECL provision 2021 RM'000 2020 RM'000 1. Assigned higher LGD for exposures under moratorium 2,250 2,250 2. Drop in counterparty ratings 395 395 3. Stressed security cover for exposures under moratorium 557 557 Total 3,202 3,202 (iv) The Group and the Bank estimate the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and software based on factors such as the expected level of usage due to physical wear and tear, future technological developments and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and software would increase the recorded depreciation and decrease their carrying value. The total carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, and software are disclosed in Notes 16 and 17 respectively. (v) Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. As at financial year end, the total carrying value of unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances are disclosed in Note 19. Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2021
