Treasure ASA: Change of accounting principle - the investment in Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd.
The Treasure group has previously recognized the investment as financial assets at fair value ("FV") measurement with changes in FV recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The group investment in Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd. (“Hyundai Glovis”) is 11.0%.
The group has changed the accounting method to consider Hyundai Glovis as an associated company and recognize the investment according to the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, with the group's share of changes in net assets of Hyundai Glovis reported as share of profit from associates and dividends from associates. This change comes as a result from discussions with Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the "NFSA").
In September 2023, the group received a preliminary notice from the NFSA regarding its accounting treatment of the Hyundai Glovis investment in the group's consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2020. In the notice, the NFSA has concluded the group has significant influence over Hyundai Glovis and is therefore required to classify the investment as an associated company, and to measure the investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The change in classification should be corrected retrospectively as an error according to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
Impact of the change on accounting method on the groups consolidated financial statements:
The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 is an increase in total equity and retained earnings of USD 8.6 million.
The group's financial statements on and after the period ending June 30, 2023 will show comparable figures. See attachment.
