Notes to the <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong><br />

For the financial year ended 31 December 2011<br />

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

2.2 Revenue recognition<br />

Revenue for the <strong>Group</strong> represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the gross inflow of<br />

economic benefits during the financial year arising from the course of the ordinary activities of the <strong>Group</strong>’s business.<br />

Revenue is presented net of goods and services tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the <strong>Group</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Group</strong> recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, it is probable that<br />

the collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured and when the specific criteria for each of the <strong>Group</strong>’s<br />

activities are met as follows:<br />

(a)<br />

Sale of goods<br />

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the<br />

buyer and there is neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor<br />

effective control over the goods sold.<br />

(b)<br />

Interest income<br />

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.<br />

(c)<br />

Rental income<br />

Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis<br />

over the lease term.<br />

2.3 <strong>Group</strong> accounting<br />

(a)<br />

Subsidiaries<br />

(i)<br />

Consolidation<br />

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

the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanied by<br />

a shareholding giving rise to a majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting<br />

rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the <strong>Group</strong> controls<br />

another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the <strong>Group</strong>. They<br />

are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.<br />
