Notes to the Financial Statements
d. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of
returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The
amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved.
The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction
and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
Sale of Goods and Disposal of Assets
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the Group has passed to the buyer the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of relevant rental agreements.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired,
the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the
original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on
impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.
e. Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax
is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases
of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities
and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset
where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
