Notes to the Financial Statements<br />

b. Principles of Consolidation<br />

Joint Ventures<br />

Joint Venture Entities<br />

The interest in a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the proportionate consolidation<br />

method. Under proportionate consolidation the share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a jointly<br />

controlled entity is combined line by line with similar items in the financial statements. Details relating to the joint venture are<br />

set out in Note 28.<br />

Profits or losses on transactions establishing the joint venture and transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the<br />

extent of the Group's ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture on consumption or sale.<br />

However, a loss on the transaction is recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable<br />

value of current assets, or an impairment loss.<br />

Subsidiaries<br />

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of <strong>Bega</strong> <strong>Cheese</strong> ("Company" or<br />

"parent entity") as at 30 June 2010 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. <strong>Bega</strong> <strong>Cheese</strong> and its<br />

subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.<br />

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the<br />

financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The<br />

existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing<br />

whether the Group controls another entity.<br />

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from<br />

the date that control ceases.<br />

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to Note 1h.).<br />

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with parties external to the<br />

Group. Disposals to non-controlling interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the income<br />

statements. Purchases from non-controlling interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid<br />

and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary.<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 transferred.<br />

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by<br />

the Group.<br />

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income<br />

statements, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.<br />

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of <strong>Bega</strong> <strong>Cheese</strong>.<br />

c. 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 of<br />

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 recognised in<br />

profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges<br />

or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.<br />

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date<br />

when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part<br />

of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities<br />

held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation<br />

differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in<br />

comprehensive income.<br />
