NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010<br />
A$’000<br />
FUND<br />
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where<br />
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by<br />
the Fund.<br />
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of<br />
subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated<br />
statement of comprehensive income and balance<br />
sheet respectively.<br />
Transactions and balances<br />
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the<br />
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at<br />
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and<br />
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and<br />
from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary<br />
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are<br />
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.<br />
Associates<br />
Associates are all entities over which the Fund has<br />
significant influence but not control, generally accompanying<br />
a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting<br />
rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the<br />
consolidated financial statements using the equity method<br />
of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.<br />
The Fund’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits<br />
or losses is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive<br />
Income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in<br />
reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative postacquisition<br />
movements are adjusted against the carrying<br />
amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from<br />
associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.<br />
When the Fund’s share of losses in an associate equals<br />
or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any<br />
other unsecured long-term receivables, the Fund does not<br />
recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations<br />
or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised<br />
gains on transactions between the Fund and its associates<br />
are eliminated to the extent of the Fund’s interest in the<br />
associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the<br />
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset<br />
transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been<br />
changed where necessary to ensure consistency within the<br />
policies adopted by the Fund.<br />
d) Segment reporting<br />
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent<br />
with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating<br />
Decision makers being the board of directors and senior<br />
executives, essentially a management approach AASB 8<br />
Operating Segments has been adopted by the Fund from 1 July<br />
2009 and comparatives have been restated.<br />
e) Foreign currency translation<br />
Functional and presentation currency<br />
Items included in the financial statements of each of the<br />
Fund’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary<br />
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the<br />
functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements<br />
are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Fund’s<br />
functional and presentation currency.<br />
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and<br />
liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or<br />
loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value<br />
gain or loss.<br />
Fund companies<br />
The results and financial position of all of the subsidiaries of<br />
the Fund that have a functional currency different from the<br />
presentation currency are translated into the presentation<br />
currency as follows:<br />
> > Assets and liabilities for each Balance Sheet presented<br />
are translated at the closing rate at the date of that<br />
balance sheet;<br />
> > Income and expenses for each Statement of<br />
Comprehensive Income are translated at average<br />
exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable<br />
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates<br />
prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case<br />
income and expenses are translated at the dates of the<br />
transactions); and<br />
> > All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a<br />
separate component of equity.<br />
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition<br />
of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the<br />
foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.<br />
f) Revenue recognition<br />
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration<br />
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net<br />
of discounts and refunds.<br />
The Fund recognises revenue when the amount of revenue<br />
can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic<br />
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been<br />
met for each of the Fund’s activities as described below. The<br />
amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable<br />
until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved.<br />
The Fund bases its estimates on historical results, taking into<br />
consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction<br />
and the specifics of each arrangement.
