NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010<br />

A$’000<br />

CLFT<br />

1. Summary of accounting policies<br />

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation<br />

of the financial statements are set out below. These policies<br />

have been consistently applied for the entire year presented,<br />

unless otherwise stated. The financial statements includes<br />

<strong>Campus</strong> <strong>Living</strong> Finance Trust (“CLFT”) and its subsidiaries<br />

(“consolidated entity”) which was established on 25 July 2006.<br />

CLFT is one of four trusts in a stapled group that form<br />

the <strong>Campus</strong> <strong>Living</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> Fund (“the Fund”), the units<br />

of which can only be purchased or sold in their current<br />

stapled arrangement.<br />

a) Basis of preparation<br />

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in<br />

accordance, with Australian Accounting Standards, other<br />

authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting<br />

Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.<br />

Compliance with IFRS<br />

The consolidated financial statements and notes of the<br />

Fund comply with International Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing<br />

Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting<br />

Standards Board.<br />

Historical cost convention<br />

These financial statements have been prepared under the<br />

historical cost convention, except for, financial assets and<br />

liabilities which are carried at fair value.<br />

Critical accounting estimates<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity<br />

with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting<br />

estimates. It also requires management to exercise its<br />

judgement in the process of applying the entity’s accounting<br />

policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement<br />

or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates<br />

are significant to the financial statements, are set out in the<br />

applicable accounting policy note. Refer to Provisions note 10.<br />

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which<br />

control is transferred to the ‘Consolidated entity’. They are<br />

de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.<br />

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for<br />

the acquisition of subsidiaries by the consolidated entity.<br />

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains<br />

on transactions between consolidated entity companies are<br />

eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the<br />

transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset<br />

transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been<br />

changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the<br />

policies adopted by the consolidated entity.<br />

c) Foreign currency translation<br />

Functional and presentation currency<br />

Items included in the financial statements of each of the<br />

consolidated entity’s entities are measured using the currency<br />

of the primary economic environment in which the entity<br />

operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial<br />

statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the<br />

consolidated entity’s functional and presentation currency.<br />

Transactions and balances<br />

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

currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the<br />

transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from<br />

the settlement of such transactions and from the translation<br />

at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities<br />

denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the<br />

income statement.<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 gain<br />

or loss.<br />

b) Principles of consolidation<br />

Subsidiaries<br />

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets<br />

and liabilities of all subsidiaries of CLFT as at 30 June 2010<br />

and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.<br />

CLFT and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this<br />

financial report as the consolidated entity.<br />

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose<br />

entities) over which the consolidated entity has the power<br />

to govern the financial and operating policies, generally<br />

accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the<br />

voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting<br />

rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are<br />

considered when assessing whether the consolidated entity<br />

controls another entity.<br />

Consolidated entity companies<br />

The results and financial position of all of the subsidiaries<br />

of the consolidated entity that have a functional currency<br />

different from the presentation currency are translated into<br />

the presentation 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 income statement are<br />

translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a<br />

reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the<br />

rates 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.
