RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Richfield Group Limited and controlled entities, and Richfield Group Limited as an individual parent entity. Richfield Group Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The following Australian Accounting Standards have been issued or amended and are applicable to the parent and consolidated group but are not yet effective. They have not been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements at reporting date.

  • AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (June 2007) incorporates amendments arising from Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements. The entity is not expecting to enter into service concession arrangements in future reporting periods therefore these amendments are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2008

  • AASB 3 Business Combinations (March 2008) amends how entities account for business combinations and changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries. As the entity has not been a party to any business combination during the year, this standard is not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This standard is applicable for business combinations occurring on or after 30 June 2010.

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments replaces the presentation for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and it is not expected to have an impact on the financial results of the Company and the Group as the standard is only concerned with disclosures.

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments (February 2007) supersedes AASB 114 (September 2005). This standard is a disclosure standard that will result in changes to operating segments disclosures. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2009.

  • AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (September 2007) contains a number of changes from the previous AASB 101. These changes do not affect recognition or measurement criteria, therefore the changes are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s reported financial position. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2009.

  • 6 -

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

  • AASB 123 Borrowing Costs (June 2007) incorporates amendments removing the option to immediately expense borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. As the entity does not have borrowings associated with qualifying assets, these amendments are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2009.

  • AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008) amends how entities account for business combinations and changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries. As the transitional provision of AASB 127 provide that the changes to the recognition and measurement criteria within AASB 127 resulting from this revision do not apply retrospectively to business combinations effected prior to the amendments being adopted, this standard is not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 30 June 2010.

  • AASB 2008-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Share based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations [AASB 2]. Unless the entity enters into share-based payment transactions in future reporting periods, these amendments are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 30 June 2010.

  • AASB 2008-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations arising on Liquidation [AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 132, AASB 139 & Interpretation 2]. As the entity has no puttable financial instruments, the changes are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s reported financial position. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 30 June 2010.

  • AASB 2008-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASBs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 101, 107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 & 139 and Interpretations 9 & 107]. This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 30 June 2010.

  • Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease (February 2007). Unless the entity enters into service concession arrangements in future reporting periods, these amendments are not expected to have any impact on the entity‟s financial report. This interpretation is applicable for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2009.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Richfield Group Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2008 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Richfield Group Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the “consolidated entity” or “group”.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the company controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Richfield Group Limited.

  • 7 -

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

  • (a) Principles of Consolidation (Cont’d)

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

If applicable, minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

(b) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

(d) Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Plant & Equipment

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset‟s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

  • 8 -

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset‟s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

CLASS OFFIXEDASSET DEPRECIATIONRATE
LeaseholdImprovements 2%
Plant andMachinery 10%- 20%
OfficeFurniture 6%- 20%
OfficeEquipment 20%
Motor Vehicles 10%-30%

The assets‟ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset‟s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset‟s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings

  • (e) Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(f) Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised as profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

ii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

iii. Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the group‟s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

iv. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

v. Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

vi. Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges.

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Richfield Group Limited and Controlled Entities designates certain derivatives as either;

  • i. hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or

  • ii. hedges of highly probably forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions is documented.

Assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items, are also documented.

(i) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedge asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii) Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm‟s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

(g) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset‟s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset‟s carrying value. Any excess of the asset‟s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(h) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

The functional currency of each of the group‟s entities is measured using the currency of the primary consolidated environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity‟s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group‟s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group‟s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

  • (j) Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for the company‟s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(k) Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of one month or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(l) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from investment properties is recognised on an accruals basis or straight-line basis in accordance with leases agreements.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(m) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(n) Trade and Other Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(o) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(p) Earnings Per Share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(r) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business and on the assumption of sufficient funds becoming available for the operations of the consolidated entity.

The basis of adopting the going concern assumption is dependent upon the Richfield Group Ltd and controlled entities raising additional funds from debt or equity sources, or operations becoming profitable in the future.

(s) Comparative Figures

  • When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(t) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key Estimates — Impairment

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The group‟s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks, receivables, payables and available for sale investments.

(a) Treasury Risk Management

Due to the size of the company, responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the board of directors. This includes the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures.

(b) Financial Risk Exposures and Management The group‟s activities expose it to financial risks, market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Where relevant and appropriate, the company will avail itself of appropriate hedging instruments in future financial years.

(i) Foreign Exchange Risk Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity‟s functional currency.

The group has a loan with a related entity during the 2008 year in US currency. This loan is not expected to be repaid as the entity will form part of the consolidated group if the purchase of 75% of Victory West Pty Ltd is pursued.

(ii) Fair Value Interest Rate Risk

Refer to (d) below.

(b) Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The Consolidated Entity did not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors at balance date.

RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D)

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to fund the Consolidated Entity‟s activities. The directors regularly monitor the company‟s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Due to the company‟s significant holding of cash and cash equivalents, the group‟s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.

At balance date, the group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

═══════ ═══════ ═══════ ═══════

(e) Interest rate swaps

Interest rate swap transactions may be entered into by the consolidated group to exchange variable and fixed interest payment obligations to protect long-term borrowings from the risk of increasing interest rates. The consolidated group has no variable or fixed interest rate debt and as such has not needed to enter into any swap contracts. Where relevant and appropriate, the company will avail itself of appropriate swap contracts in future financial years.

(f) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments may be used in the future by the consolidated group to hedge exposure to exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency borrowings and interest rate risk associated with movements in interest rates which impact on the borrowings of the consolidated group. Currently there are no derivative financial instruments used by the consolidated group.

(g) Forward exchange contracts

The consolidated group may enter into forward exchange contracts to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at stipulated exchange rates. The objective in entering the forward exchange contracts is to protect the consolidated group against unfavourable exchange rate movements for both the contracted and anticipated future sales and purchases undertaken in foreign currencies. Currently there are no forward exchange contracts used by the consolidated group.

(h) Net fair values The net fair values of:

  • Term receivables, government and fixed interest securities and bonds are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value.

  • Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D)

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings, to their present value.

  • Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments, forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.

Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values have not been written down as the consolidated group intends to hold these assets to maturity.

Aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date.

Currently there are no forward exchange contracts used by the consolidated group.

(i) Sensitivity analysis

The group has not performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk at balance date as the directors believe that the exposure to these risks at present is minimal.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(b) Capital management

Management controls the capital of the group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The group‟s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the group‟s capital by assessing the group‟s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
