Notes to and forming part of the financial<br />

statements (continued)<br />

For the year ended 30 June <strong>2012</strong><br />

16<br />

The estimates and underlying assumptions are<br />

reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to<br />

accounting estimates are recognised in the<br />

period in which the estimate is revised if the<br />

revision affects only that period or in the period<br />

of the revision and future periods if the revision<br />

affects both current and future periods.<br />

Management has discussed with the Directors<br />

the development, selection and disclosure of the<br />

Group’s critical accounting policies and estimates<br />

and the application of these policies and<br />

estimates.<br />

Significant Accounting Judgements<br />

Impairment of other assets and goodwill<br />

Goodwill is assessed for impairment every year.<br />

Other assets are assessed for impairment where<br />

there are triggers of impairment. In the current<br />

year, judgements were made around levels of<br />

impairment. Management does not consider that<br />

triggers for impairment testing exist for any other<br />

assets other than the investment in Living Nature<br />

Natural Products Limited.<br />

Taxation<br />

The Group’s accounting policy for taxation<br />

requires management’s judgement as to the<br />

types of arrangements considered to be a tax on<br />

income in contrast to an operating cost.<br />

Judgement is also required in assessing whether<br />

deferred tax assets are recognised in the<br />

Statement of Financial Position. Deferred tax<br />

assets, including those arising from unrecouped<br />

tax losses, capital losses and temporary<br />

differences, are recognised only where it is<br />

considered more likely than not that they will be<br />

recovered, which is dependent on the generation<br />

of sufficient future taxable profits.<br />

Assumptions about the generation of future<br />

taxable profits and repatriation of retained<br />

earnings depends on management’s estimates of<br />

future cash flows. These depend on estimates of<br />

future production and sales volumes, operating<br />

costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other<br />

capital management transactions. Judgements<br />

are also required about the application of income<br />

tax legislation. These judgements and<br />

assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty,<br />

hence there is a possibility that changes in<br />

circumstances will alter expectations, which may<br />

impact the amount of deferred tax assets and<br />

deferred tax liabilities recognised on the<br />

Statement of Financial Position and the amount<br />

of other tax losses and temporary differences not<br />

yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or<br />

all of the carrying amounts of recognised<br />

deferred tax assets and liabilities may require<br />

adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or<br />

charge to the Statement of Comprehensive<br />

Income.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible<br />

temporary differences as management considers<br />

that it is probable that future taxable profits will<br />

be available to utilise those temporary<br />

differences.<br />

Contingent liabilities<br />

Management has made judgements concerning<br />

the probability of the outcomes when assessing<br />

whether to recognise a provision or a contingent<br />

liability. These judgements are subject to risk and<br />

uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that a<br />

change in circumstances will alter expectations,<br />

which may impact the amount of provisions<br />

recognised on the Statement of Financial<br />

Position and the amount of contingent liabilities<br />

not yet recognised.<br />

Key sources of estimation and uncertainty<br />

Note 14 contains information about the<br />

assumptions and their risk factors relating to<br />

goodwill impairment. In Note 22 detailed analysis<br />

is given of the foreign exchange exposure of the<br />

Group and risks in relation to foreign exchange<br />

movements.<br />

F Basis of Consolidation<br />

The consolidated financial statements prepared<br />

are issued in the name of the legal parent, but<br />

represent a continuation of the financial<br />

statements of the legal subsidiary following a<br />

reverse acquisition in 2004.<br />

In reverse acquisition accounting, the cost of the<br />

business combination is deemed to have been<br />

incurred by the legal subsidiary (the acquirer for<br />

accounting purposes) in the form of equity<br />

instruments issued to the owners of the legal<br />

parent (the acquiree for accounting purposes).<br />

As these consolidated financial statements<br />

represent a continuation of the financial<br />

statements of the legal subsidiary:<br />

The assets and liabilities of the legal<br />

subsidiary are recognised and measured in<br />

the consolidated financial statements at<br />

their pre-combination carrying amounts.<br />

The retained earnings and other equity<br />

balances recognised in the consolidated<br />

financial statements are the retained<br />

earnings and other equity balances of the<br />

legal subsidiary immediately before the<br />

business combination.<br />

The amount recognised as issued equity<br />

instruments is determined by adding the<br />

issued equity of the legal subsidiary<br />

immediately before the business<br />

combination, to the cost of the<br />

combination.<br />

All acquisitions of subsidiaries subsequent to the<br />

reverse acquisition mentioned above are<br />

accounted for using the acquisition method.<br />

Subsidiaries<br />

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled, directly<br />

or indirectly, by the Group. Control exists when<br />

the Group has the power to govern the financial<br />

and operating policy of an entity so as to obtain<br />

benefits from its activities. In assessing control,<br />

potential voting rights that are currently<br />

exercisable are taken into account. The financial<br />

statements of subsidiaries are included in the<br />

consolidated financial statements from the date<br />

that control commences until the date that<br />

control ceases.<br />

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are<br />

prepared for the same reporting period as the<br />

parent company using consistent accounting<br />

policies.<br />

Intra-group balances, transactions and profits or<br />

losses are eliminated in full in the preparation of<br />

these Group financial statements.<br />

The results of entities acquired during the year<br />

are included in the consolidated financial<br />

statements from the date that control<br />

commenced. Generally assets and liabilities are<br />

recognised at their fair value at the date of<br />

acquisition.<br />

Investments in subsidiaries held by the parent are<br />

accounted for at cost in the separate financial<br />

statements of the parent less any impairment<br />

charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are<br />

recorded as a component of other revenues in<br />

the separate Statement of Comprehensive<br />

Income of the parent, and do not impact the<br />

recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of<br />

dividend payments from subsidiaries, the parent<br />

will assess whether any indicators of impairment<br />

of the carrying value of the investment in the<br />

subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to<br />

the extent that the carrying value of the<br />

investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an<br />

impairment loss is recognised.<br />

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for<br />

using the acquisition method of accounting. The<br />

acquisition method of accounting involves<br />

recognising at acquisition date, separately from<br />

goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the<br />

liabilities assumed and any non-controlling<br />

interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets<br />

acquired and the liabilities assumed are<br />

measured at their acquisition date fair values.<br />

The difference between the above items and the<br />

fair value of the consideration (including the fair<br />

value of any pre-existing investment in the<br />
