NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL<br />

STATEMENTS OF THE HEP GROUP (CONTINUED)<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010<br />

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)<br />

TRADE DEBTORS AND PREPAYMENTS (continued)<br />

Outstanding receivables claimed through court and those included in bankruptcy estate (the debt principal and interest)<br />

are fully provided for, regardless of the number of past due days, and the provision is charged to expenses.<br />

INVENTORIES<br />

Inventories comprise mainly of materials and small items and are carried at the lower of cost, determined using the<br />

weighted average price less allowance for obsolete and excessive inventories, and net realisable value. The management<br />

provides for inventories based on a review of the overall ageing structure of inventories and non-recurring<br />

transfers over the years, as well as of individual significant amounts of inventories.<br />

Cost comprises the invoiced amount as well as all other costs directly attributable to brining inventories to<br />

their location and the condition of being readily available for use.<br />

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS<br />

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly<br />

liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk<br />

of changes in value.<br />

BORROWING COSTS<br />

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are<br />

assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the<br />

cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment<br />

income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets<br />

is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.<br />

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred.<br />

Short-term borrowings and supplier loans are recorded at original amount granted less repayment. Interest expense<br />

is charged to income statement on an accrual basis.<br />

FOREIGN CURRENCIES<br />

The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic<br />

environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial<br />

statements, the results and financial position of each Group entity are expressed in Croatian kunas (HRK), which are<br />

the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.<br />

In preparing the financial statements of the individual Group entities, transactions in currencies other than<br />

the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated to the functional currency of the entity at the<br />

rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated<br />

in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency of the entity at the year-end rates. Non-monetary<br />

items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the<br />

date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a<br />

foreign currency are not retranslated.<br />

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary<br />

items, are included in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary<br />

items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period as finance cost except for differences arising<br />

on the retranslation of non-monetary assets available for sale, in respect of which gains and losses are recognised<br />

directly in equity. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised<br />

directly in equity.<br />
