1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report is a general purpose report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
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 in Australia and domiciled in Singapore.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical cost and does not take into account changing money values, or except where stated current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
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.
(b) INTANGIBLES
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.
Both purchased goodwill and goodwill on consolidation and intangibles are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of 20 years. The balances are reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off.
(c) INCOME TAX
The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the loss from ordinary activities adjusted for any permanent differences.
Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting loss and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit.
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.
RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED (ABN 66 009 144 503) (FORMERLY WORLDWIDE TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED) NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
(d) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Richfield Group Limited. Control exists where Richfield Group Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Richfield Group Limited to achieve the objectives of Richfield Group Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained.
Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.
(e) PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
Each class of property, plant is equipment are carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
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 which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets 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 OF FIXED ASSET | DEPRECIATION RATE |
|---|---|
| Leasehold Improvements | 2% |
| Plant and Machinery | $10\% - 20\%$ |
| Office Furniture | 6% - 20% |
| Office Equipment | 20% |
| Motor Vehicles | $10\% - 30\%$ |
$(f)$ LEASES
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the consolidated entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
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.

(g) INVESTMENTS
Shares in listed companies held as current assets are valued by directors at those shares' market value at each balance date. The gains or losses, whether realised or unrealised, are included in profit from ordinary activities before income tax.
Non-current investments are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of non-current investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for listed investments or the underlying net assets for other non-listed investments. The expected net cash flows from investments have not been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts.
Investment properties are interests in land and buildings in respect of which construction work and development have been completed and which are held for their investment potential. Investment properties are stated at cost. Investment properties are not depreciated except where the unexpired term of the lease is 20 years or less in which case depreciation is provided on the carrying amount over the remaining term of the lease.
(h) INVENTORIES
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average cost. Cost of stocks comprises material, labour, and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity.
(i) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee entitlements, where applicable, arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those entitlements.
Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
$(i)$ CASH
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes:
- cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts; and
- investments in money market instruments with less than 14 days to maturity.
(k) COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(I) REVENUE
Revenue from the sale of goods or rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of goods or the service to the customers.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(m) BORROWINGS
Borrowings comprise commercial bills, bank loans, bank overdrafts and finance liabilities that are carried at their principal amounts. Interest is expensed as it is incurred except where they are capitalised against qualifying assets.
(n) PAYABLES
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. Trade payables are usually settled within 30-day terms.
(o) RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are carried at nominal amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when collection of the full nominal amount is no longer probable. Trade receivables are usually settled within 30-day terms.
(p) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Foreign currency transactions during the year are converted to Australian currency at the rates of exchange applicable at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at that date.
The gains and losses from conversion of short-term assets and liabilities, whether realised or unrealised, are included in profit from ordinary activities as they arise.
The assets and liabilities of the overseas controlled entities, which are self-sustaining, are translated at yearend rates and operating results are translated at the rates ruling at the end of each month. Gains and losses arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.
Exchange differences arising on hedged transactions undertaken to hedge foreign currency exposures, other than those for the purchase and sale of goods and services, are brought to account in the profit from ordinary activities when the exchange rates change. Any material gain or loss arising at the time of entering into hedge transactions is deferred and brought to account in the profit from ordinary activities over the lives of the hedges.
Costs or gains arising at the time of entering hedged transactions for the purchase and sale of goods and services, and exchange differences that occur up to the date of purchase or sale, are deferred and included in the measurement of the purchase or sale. Gains and losses from speculative foreign currency transactions are brought to account in the profit from ordinary activities when the exchange rate changes.
(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 Taxation 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 Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
(r) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity's assets, other than stocks, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets' recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of buildings carried at revalued amount is recognised in the same way as a revaluation decrease, in which case it will be charged to equity under the heading asset revaluation reserve. All other impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets' carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss in respect of buildings carried at a revalued amount is recognised in the same way as a revaluation increase, in which case it will be credited directly to equity under the heading asset revaluation reserve. All other reversals of impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account.
