Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)<br />
b. Principles of Consolidation (cont.)<br />
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with<br />
equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of<br />
the controlling and non-controlling interest to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the<br />
amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate<br />
reserve within equity attributable to owners of <strong>Bega</strong> <strong>Cheese</strong>.<br />
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.<br />
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset<br />
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the<br />
policies adopted by the Group.<br />
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of<br />
Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Balance Sheet respectively.<br />
c. Segment Reporting<br />
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision<br />
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of<br />
the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.<br />
d. Foreign Currency Translation<br />
Functional and Presentation Currency<br />
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary<br />
economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are<br />
presented in Australian dollars, which is <strong>Bega</strong> <strong>Cheese</strong>'s functional and presentation currency.<br />
Transactions and Balances<br />
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates<br />
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the<br />
translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are<br />
recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.<br />
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the<br />
date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are<br />
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.<br />
e. Revenue Recognition<br />
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are<br />
net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.<br />
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future<br />
economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as<br />
described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the<br />
type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.<br />
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:<br />
Sale of Goods and Disposal of Assets<br />
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the Group has passed to the buyer the<br />
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.<br />
