4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(l)
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in fi nance costs in the consolidated income statement in the
period in which they are incurred. However, borrowing costs attributable directly to the acquisition, construction
or production of assets which require a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale, are
capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Income earned on temporary investments of specifi c borrowings
pending their expenditure on those assets is deducted from borrowing costs capitalised.
(m) Inventories
Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. First-in, fi rst-out basis is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable
items.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(n)
Revenue recognition
Revenue from goods sold is recognised when title of goods sold has passed to the purchaser, which is at the time
of delivery.
Reimbursement of mould costs is recognised when all conditions anticipated by both parties to reimburse the
development costs of moulds have been met and duly confi rmed by customers.
Commission income is recognised when the services related to introduction of and liaison with customers are
rendered.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(o)
Income taxes
Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profi t or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or
disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax arises from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial
reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes and is accounted for using the balance
sheet liability method. Except for recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits,
deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profi ts will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the
asset is realised based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes are recognised in the consolidated income statement except when they relate to items directly
recognised to equity in which case the taxes are also directly recognised in equity.
