Notes to the Financial Statements<br />

Year ended June 30, <strong>2011</strong><br />

(e)<br />

(ii)<br />

<strong>In</strong>tangible assets (continued)<br />

Computer software<br />

Computer software is capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific<br />

software and is amortised over its estimated useful life of 4 years.<br />

(f)<br />

Finance lease<br />

Leases are classified as finance lease where the terms of the lease transfer substantially all risks and<br />

rewards of ownership to the lessee.<br />

Finance leases are capitalised at the estimated present value of the underlying lease payments. Each<br />

lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate<br />

on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are<br />

included in borrowings.<br />

Finance charges are charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period. Plant<br />

and equipment acquired under finance leasing contracts are depreciated over the useful lives of the<br />

assets.<br />

(g)<br />

<strong>In</strong>ventories<br />

<strong>In</strong>ventories and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is<br />

determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises<br />

raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads but excludes interest<br />

expense. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business less<br />

the costs of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.<br />

(h) Deferred income taxes<br />

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising<br />

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements.<br />

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the <strong>report</strong>ing<br />

period and are expected to apply in the period when the related deferred income tax asset is realised<br />

or the deferred income tax liability is settled.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be<br />

available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.<br />

(i)<br />

Foreign currencies<br />

Functional and presentation currency<br />

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using Mauritian<br />

rupees, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (“functional<br />

currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Mauritian rupees, the group’s<br />

functional and presentation currency.<br />

Transactions and balances<br />

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates<br />

prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses, resulting from the settlement of such<br />

transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign<br />

currencies, are recognised on the statement of comprehensive income. Such balances are translated<br />

at year-end exchange rates unless hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts, in which case the<br />

rates specified in such forward contracts are used.<br />

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the group’s overseas entities are translated at exchange<br />

rates prevailing at the end of the <strong>report</strong>ing period. <strong>In</strong>come and expense items are translated at the average<br />

exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences, if any, are classified as other comprehensive<br />

income. Such translation differences are recognised on the statement of comprehensive income in the<br />

period in which the operation is disposed of.<br />
