COMPANY - 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Company. a) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to EUR (functional currency of the Company) at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to EUR at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain and loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to EUR at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, or a non-financial liability designated as a hedge. b) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial instruments The Company initially recognises bonds and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company has the following non-derivative financial assets: liabilities and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand form an integral part of the Company’s current financial liabilities. 176 Annual Report Gorenje Group 2009

Starting as of 1 January <strong>2009</strong>, the Company has changed its accounting policies in the following areas:<br />

• accounting for borrowing costs,<br />

• presentation of financial statements.<br />

In respect of borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for<br />

capitalisation is on or after 1 January <strong>2009</strong>, the Company capitalises borrowing costs directly<br />

attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that<br />

asset. Previously the Company immediately recognised all borrowing costs as an expense. This<br />

change in accounting policy was due to the adoption of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (2007) in accordance<br />

with the transitional provisions of such standard; comparative figures have not been restated. The<br />

change in accounting policy had no material impact on earnings per share. The Company has<br />

capitalised borrowing costs with respect to property, plant and equipment under construction (see note<br />

3(d)(iii)) and development costs (see note 3(e)(i)).<br />

(iii) Presentation of financial statements<br />

The Company applies revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became<br />

effective as of 1 January <strong>2009</strong>. As a result, the Company presents in the statement of changes in<br />

equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the<br />

statement of comprehensive income. Comparative information has been re-presented so that it also is<br />

in conformity with the revised standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts<br />

presentation aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.<br />
