Changes to Accounting Standards
-
SHV has elected to early adopt changes to Accounting Standards AASB 116, Property, Plant & Equipment, and AASB 141, Agriculture, which are required to be implemented no later than reporting period commencing 1 July 2016
-
The changes impact the Balance Sheet classification of Bearer Assets (Almond Trees, in the case of Select Harvests), from Biological Assets to Property Plant & Equipment
-
Almond Trees are now depreciated over their economic useful life, and no longer subject to fair value accounting rules
-
The change requires a restatement of the FY14 Financial Statements to compare their impact with the adoption of the change on the FY15 Financial Statements
| Impact | FY14 | FY15 |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings before Interest & Tax (“EBIT”) | ($10.5M) | ($5.5M) |
| Net Profit After Tax (“NPAT”) | ($7.4M) | ($3.8M) |
- The reduced NPAT has a corresponding impact on Earnings Per Share
This change has no effect on the annual valuation of the almond crop
