Financial Statements<br />

Year Ended 30 June 2011<br />

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 />

Royalties<br />

Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.<br />

Rental Revenue<br />

Rental revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of relevant rental agreements.<br />
