Inventories<br />

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct materials, direct labour and other direct variable cost and includes<br />

expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition and location.<br />

Net realisable value is determined on the basis of normal selling pattern.<br />

(k) Borrowings costs<br />

Borrowing costs relate to interest on bank loans. Borrowing costs on land are capitalised into the cost of the asset as they are incurred. Borrowing costs on<br />

vehicles loans are expensed as incurred.<br />

(l) Interest bearing liabilities<br />

Interest bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Bank loans are recognised at their principal amount,<br />

subject to set-off arrangements. Interest expense is accrued at the contracted rate.<br />

(m) Income Tax<br />

No income tax is payable by the <strong>League</strong> as Section 50-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act exempts recognised Charitable Institutions from Income Tax. The<br />

<strong>League</strong> also retains Public Benevolent Institution status from the Australian Taxation Office.<br />

(n) Volunteer Workers<br />

No monetary value has been attributed to the valuable services provided by the <strong>League</strong>’s many volunteer workers.<br />

(o) Investments<br />

Investments in listed entities are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value, being quoted market prices at reporting date. Any resultant gain<br />

or loss is recognised directly in equity. When these items are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised<br />

in profit or loss.<br />

(p) Motor vehicles classified as assets held for resale<br />

<strong>League</strong> vehicles financed through individual bills of sale and sold in all cases prior to the expiration of twelve months from the date of purchase are classified<br />

as current assets – “Assets held for resale.” Each contract is closed out at the time of sale and a new contract entered into each time a car is purchased.<br />

The amount shown as owing under interest bearing borrowings is the sum of the individual contracts that are outstanding at any time regarding the financing<br />

of <strong>League</strong> vehicles under this policy.<br />

Other motor vehicles not subject to this policy are disclosed as fixed assets as the term of their ownership exceeds twelve months and such vehicles are<br />

generally not financed in the same manner as those involved in this policy.<br />

(q) Equipment Loans Items<br />

These represent items that are either purchased or funded by the <strong>League</strong> for the use by or hire to clients of the <strong>League</strong>. They are treated and accounted for as<br />

fixed assets even though in most cases a minimal hiring fee is charged to clients for their use.<br />

(r) Intangible Assets<br />

Intangible assets represent the cumulative cost of Information Technology projects capitalised by the <strong>League</strong>. Intangible assets are amortised from the date of<br />

acquisition and the straight line method of amortisation is used. The amortisation rate used for this class of asset for the current and previous year is 33%.<br />
