$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the period presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements $(i)$ The consolidated financial statements of the Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited group comply with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The financial period covers the period from incorporation on 6 March 2013 to 28 June 2014.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), certain classes of property, $\bullet$ plant and equipment and investment property - measured at fair value
- Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost of disposal. $\bullet$
- (iii) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
(iv) Adoption of accounting standards
As this is the first period of accounts for the group, management has applied all current guidance issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and there are no changes or proposed changes to accounting standards to consider.
$\mathbf 1$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited (parent entity) as at 28 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Inghams Holdings II Pty Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the group.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group 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 group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group (refer to note $1(g)$ ).
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
(ii) Joint ventures
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from a joint venture are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
(c) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in consolidated income statement, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) $\mathbf{1}$
(c) Foreign currency translation (continued)
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations of the group (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for the statement of financial position are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
- income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, and
All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities as described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities:
(i) Sale of goods
A sale is recorded when goods have been dispatched to a customer pursuant to a sales order and the associated risks have passed to the carrier or customer.
(e) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income respectively.
$(i)$ Tax consolidation legislation
Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited, the ultimate Australian controlling entity, and its subsidiaries, including Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited, have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited and its subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited, the ultimate Australian controlling entity, also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding arrangements within the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Under the tax funding arrangement the members of the tax consolidated group compensate Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited for any current tax payable assumed, and are compensated by Ingham Holdings I Pty Ltd for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(f) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset's useful life.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
(g) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any preexisting equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The excess of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in consolidated income statement as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in consolidated income statement.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Impairment of assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Trade receivables (j)
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement within an average of 40 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.
The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated income statement within selling expenses.
(k) Inventories
Poultry, feed and other classes of inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all overheads except selling, distribution, general administration and interest. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimate costs of completion and the necessary costs to make the sale.
$\mathbf 1$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
$(1)$ Derivatives and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The group designates certain derivatives as either: hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges) or hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges). The group documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The group also documents its assessment, 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.
The fair values of various derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 17. Movements in the hedging reserve in shareholders' equity are shown in note 20. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.
(i) Fair value hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in comprehensive income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedge asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps and hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in the comprehensive income statement within finance costs, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in comprehensive income statement within other income or other expenses. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to the consolidated income statement over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate.
(ii) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in comprehensive income statement within other income or other expense. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the comprehensive income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within 'finance costs'. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of forward foreign exchange contracts hedging export sales is recognised in profit or loss within 'sales'. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are reclassified from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in profit or loss as cost of goods sold in the case of inventory, or as depreciation or impairment in the case of fixed assets. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(m) Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
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 economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Buildings and leasehold buildings | 5-50 years | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
- Plant and equipment 1-20 years
- Leased plant and equipment 5-15 years
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
As 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 carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
(n) Assets classified as held for sale
Assets classified as held for sale are stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(o) Investments
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost. Dividends received from subsidiaries and joint venture entities are recognised in the parent entity's profit, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(q) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been 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 as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
(r) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.
(s) Provisions
Provisions for make good obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of each reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Workers compensation provisions are determined by actuarial assessment every financial period. The provision represents the expected liability of the entity in relation to each states self-insurance licence.
$\mathbf{1}$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(t) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors and select key management under the Long Term Management Incentive Plan.
Select key management of the group have been granted an interest-free loan to subscribe to shares of Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited. This loan is non-recourse other than to the shares held by that employee, and the proceeds of the loan must be used to buy shares. As the only recourse on the loans is the shares and there is vesting conditions, the arrangement has been accounted for as share options, as required under accounting standards. The shares vest based on earnings and length of service.
The fair value of shares granted under the Ingham Long Term Management Incentive Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of shares that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
(iv) Short term incentive scheme
The group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the earnings of the entity after certain adjustments.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) $\mathbf{1}$
(u) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
(v) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
(w) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
(x) Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
(y) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
$\overline{\mathbf{2}}$ Financial risk management
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group. The group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and aging analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by a treasury department. Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the group's operating units. Treasury provides overall risk management, covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments in accordance with the group's facilities agreement and company policies.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
Management has a policy requiring group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using forward contracts.
(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the group to fair value interest rate risk if the borrowings are carried at fair value. The group policy is to maintain at least 75% of its borrowings at fixed rate using interest rate swaps to achieve this. During the period ending 28 June 2014, the group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in Australian Dollars.
As at the end of the reporting period, the group had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding:
| Weighted average | 28 June 2014 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest rate | Balance | |
| ℅ | \$'000 | |
| Bank loans | 6.8130 | 592,920 |
| Interest rate swaps (notional principal amount) | 7.7699 | (475,000) |
| Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk | 117,920 |
$\overline{2}$ Financial risk management (continued)
(a) Market risk (continued)
(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk (continued)
The group's fixed rate borrowings and receivables are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in AASB 7, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
(v) Commodity Price
The group's exposure to commodity price risk arises from commercial transactions required for the operations of the business. To manage its commodity price risk the group enters into forward contracts to purchase grain. This is performed through monitoring movements in price.
(b) 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 has a credit policy which provides guidelines for the management of credit risk. The guidelines provide for the manner in which the credit risk of customers is assessed and the use of credit ratings and other information in order to set appropriate account limits. Customers that do not meet minimum credit criteria are required to pay up front. Customers who fail to meet their account terms are reviewed for continuing credit worthiness.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the accounts receivable. The group does not consider that there is any significant concentration of credit risk.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. At the end of the reporting period the group held deposits of \$75,000,000 on 30 day terms which are readily available to generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group's liquidity reserve (comprising the group's undrawn re-drawable term cash advance facility below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the group's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios.
The group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
| 2014 | |
|---|---|
| \$'000 | |
| Floating rate | |
| -Expiring within one year (bank overdraft) | 7.511 |
| -Expiring beyond one year (cash advance facility) | 92,489 |
| 100,000 |
The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time. The re-drawable term cash advance facility may be drawn at any time. These facilities are available until the earlier of the date which is 30 days before termination date of the facilities agreement or the commitments are cancelled in full.
$\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements 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 the directors believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
$(i)$ Taxes
The Australian Taxation Office is currently undertaking a risk review of the previous tax consolidation that occurred during January 2009. Ingham Holdings I Pty Limited tax consolidated group is indemnified against any liability arising from this review.
The landholder duty payable in respect of assets acquired in June 2013 remains unresolved with a number of state revenue authorities. The Company is liaising with these authorities to resolve the matter. The Company is indemnified against any liability arising above the amount provided for in the financial statements.
(ii) Held-for-sale assets
The group follows the guidance in AASB 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations to determine when an asset is classified as held for sale. This determination requires judgement. In making this judgement, the directors evaluate, among other factors, whether the sale is highly probable and if it will be completed within 1 year from date of classification. In addition, at present, the directors believe that the fair value less costs to sell off assets in this category is higher than the current value, and as such no impairment is required through this reclassification.
(iii) Business combination - Identifiable net assets
The group followed the guidance in AASB 3 Business combination to determine the net identifiable assets on acquisition of Ingham Enterprises Pty Limited. The directors specifically used its judgement and made assumptions that were mainly based on market conditions in the valuation of property, plant and equipment. It obtained independent valuations to assist in this process.

(a) Secured liabilities and assets pledged as security
Bank loans are secured by first mortgages over the group's freehold land and buildings and assets classified held for sale. The carrying amounts of assets pledged as security for current and non-current borrowings are \$1,259,688,000, which represent total assets of the group adjusted for leasehold properties and excluding insurance entities.
Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the financial statements revert to the lessor in the event of default.
(b) Fair value
For external borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on the borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature. The group has entered into interest rate swaps in relation to the interest payable.
For related parties, the amount reflects the fair value as this loan is non-interest bearing with a repayment date 10 years from date of drawdown (27 June 2013).

(b) Make good provision
Inghams Enterprises Pty Limited is required to restore the leased premises to their original condition at the end of the respective lease terms.

Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited (the company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 28 June 2014, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the period ended 28 June 2014, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for Ingham Holdings II Pty Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at period's end or from time to time during the financial period.
Directors' responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the consolidated entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
