Notes to the Financial Statements<br />

For the year ended 30 June 2011<br />

2 Statement <strong>of</strong> Significant<br />

Accounting Policies<br />

continued<br />

(q) Derecognition <strong>of</strong><br />

financial instruments<br />

The derecognition <strong>of</strong> a financial<br />

instrument takes place when the<br />

Corporation no longer controls the<br />

contractual rights that comprise<br />

the financial instrument, which<br />

is normally the case when the<br />

instrument is sold, or all the<br />

cash flows attributable to the<br />

instrument are passed through<br />

to an independent third party.<br />

Derecognition <strong>of</strong> financial<br />

instruments relating to the sale<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Retail business<br />

Financial instruments which form<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the disposal group and<br />

relate to transferable Retail business<br />

contracts, and those that satisfy<br />

the derecognition criteria as stated<br />

in AASB 139 Financial Instruments:<br />

Recognition and Measurement,<br />

were derecognised at the sale<br />

completion date. Transferable<br />

Retail business contracts are those<br />

Retail business contracts which<br />

can be legally novated to the<br />

acquirer, or where rights can be<br />

assigned and obligations transferred<br />

to the acquirer without the<br />

counterparty’s consent.<br />

Financial instruments that have<br />

the potential to switch between an<br />

asset and a liability, such as swaps<br />

which have not been legally novated<br />

to the acquirer at balance date,<br />

do not satisfy the derecognition<br />

criteria as stated in AASB 139<br />

Financial Instruments: Recognition<br />

and Measurement and cannot be<br />

derecognised. <strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong><br />

remains a legal counterparty to<br />

these contracts. However, “backto-back”<br />

assets from, and liabilities<br />

to, the acquirer are recognised<br />

for liabilities and assets relating<br />

to retained contracts when all the<br />

economic benefit <strong>of</strong>, and risk in, the<br />

retained contracts are transferred<br />

to the acquirer.<br />

(r) Loans and borrowings<br />

Borrowings are initially recognised<br />

at fair value <strong>of</strong> the consideration<br />

received, net <strong>of</strong> transaction costs.<br />

After initial recognition, borrowings<br />

are subsequently measured at<br />

amortised cost using the effective<br />

interest method. Amortised cost is<br />

calculated by taking into account<br />

any issue costs, and any discount or<br />

premium on settlement.<br />

Borrowings are classified as current<br />

liabilities unless the Corporation<br />

has an unconditional right to defer<br />

settlement <strong>of</strong> the liability for at least<br />

12 months after the reporting date.<br />

(s) Revenue<br />

Revenue is recognised when the<br />

significant risks and rewards <strong>of</strong><br />

ownership have been transferred<br />

to the buyer, recovery <strong>of</strong> the<br />

consideration is probable, and the<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> revenue can be measured<br />

reliably. The following specific<br />

recognition criteria must also be met<br />

before revenue is recognised:<br />

Revenue from operating activities<br />

Revenue from operating activities<br />

comprises revenue earned from the<br />

provision <strong>of</strong> energy products and<br />

other ancillary services to entities<br />

outside the Corporation. Revenue is<br />

recognised when energy products<br />

and services are provided to the<br />

consumer. Metered energy supply<br />

is recognised when the meters are<br />

read, and an estimate is brought to<br />

account where meters have not been<br />

read. Network use <strong>of</strong> system charges<br />

are invoiced to out-<strong>of</strong>-area retailers<br />

following the reading <strong>of</strong> meters<br />

<strong>of</strong> customers within the franchise<br />

area who are contracted to external<br />

retailers. Network use <strong>of</strong> system<br />

income is recognised on an accrual<br />

basis, as revenue is accrued for<br />

consumption which is not invoiced<br />

at month end.<br />

Interest receivable and other<br />

revenue from operating activities is<br />

brought to account as it is earned,<br />

and is recognised when goods and<br />

services are provided.<br />

Developer or customer contributions<br />

<strong>of</strong> non-current assets are recognised<br />

as revenue and an asset when<br />

<strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> gains control<br />

<strong>of</strong> such contributions. Customer<br />

contributions are considered a<br />

separately identifiable service in<br />

accordance with Interpretation 18<br />

Transfers <strong>of</strong> Assets from Customers.<br />

The amount recognised is the fair<br />

value <strong>of</strong> the contributed asset at the<br />

date on which control <strong>of</strong> such assets<br />

is gained.<br />

Other revenue, outside the provision<br />

<strong>of</strong> energy products, is recognised on<br />

an accrual basis and in accordance<br />

with the substance <strong>of</strong> the agreement<br />

covering such transactions.<br />

Other income<br />

Income arising from the sale <strong>of</strong><br />

assets is recognised when the<br />

significant risks and rewards <strong>of</strong><br />

ownership have been transferred<br />

to the buyer, recovery <strong>of</strong> the<br />

consideration is probable, and<br />

the amount <strong>of</strong> revenue can be<br />

measured reliably.<br />

(t) Unread meters<br />

At reporting date, <strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong><br />

accrues an estimate <strong>of</strong> electricity<br />

consumed where the meter has<br />

not been read. The accounting<br />

estimating methodology for<br />

calculating the unbilled revenue<br />

accrual calculates unbilled revenue<br />

volume where energy imports<br />

relating to basic meters are phased<br />

over the current month and future<br />

months in order to estimate the<br />

likely billing pattern relating to<br />

consumption. This calculation is<br />

accounted for as revenue on unread<br />

meters in pr<strong>of</strong>it or loss.<br />
