S T A T E M E N T A C C O U N T I N G P O L I C I E S 1.10 Goods and Services Tax All items in the financial statements are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with the exception of receivables and payables which are stated with the GST included. Where GST is not recoverable as an input tax then it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet. The net GST paid to or received from the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as an operating cash flow in the Statement of Cash Flows. Commitments and Contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST. 1.11 Income Tax The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate and adjusted by changes in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and for unused tax losses (if any). Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the rate expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. The tax rate is applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the Deferred Tax Asset or Liability. 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 is charged or credited to the Income Statement, except where it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the tax is dealt within equity. 1.12 Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at their fair value. After initial recognition, all borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method where this differs from face value. 1.13 Derivative Financial Instruments Port Nelson uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. Port Nelson does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by reference to market values. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. If a hedging instrument is sold, terminated, revoked or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss that remains recognised directly in equity from the period when the hedge was effective will be recognised in the Income Statement. 1.14 Financing Costs Finance costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Financing costs directly attributable to buildings under construction are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. 1.15 Employee Entitlements Provision is made in respect of the company’s liability for annual leave, long service leave and retirement gratuities. Annual leave and long service leave has been calculated on an actual entitlement basis at current rates of pay and retirement gratuities calculated at current rates of pay assuming the payment will be made upon retirement. 1.16 Foreign Exchange Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the New Zealand rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Capital items are converted at the exchange rate ruling at balance date or the forward exchange contract rate where applicable. 1.17 Leases Leases of plant and equipment are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are charged as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, as this represents the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. 1.18 Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date. 1.19 Critical Judgements Management have not had to exercise any critical judgements in the period ending 30 June 2007. C H A N G E S I N A C C O U N T I N G P O L I C I E S There have been no changes in accounting policies during the financial year. 2 8
