Notes to the Financial Statements<br />
30 June 2010<br />
(continued)<br />
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)<br />
(m) Provisions (continued)<br />
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a<br />
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The<br />
increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.<br />
Provision for onerous contracts arise from firm sales contracts in excess of inventory quantities held, where the contracted<br />
selling price is lower than the cost of inventories.<br />
(n)<br />
Revenue recognition<br />
Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary<br />
course of business. Revenue is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales<br />
within the Group.<br />
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic<br />
benefits will flow to the Group and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.<br />
The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measureable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been<br />
resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of<br />
transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.<br />
(i)<br />
Sale of goods<br />
Sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customers.<br />
(ii)<br />
Processing service and management fee income<br />
Processing service and management fee income is recognised when services are rendered.<br />
(iii)<br />
Dividend income<br />
Dividend income is recognised when shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.<br />
(iv)<br />
Interest income<br />
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is<br />
impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow<br />
discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest<br />
income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.<br />
(v)<br />
Rental income<br />
Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease term.<br />
(o)<br />
Cash and cash equivalents<br />
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with<br />
banks, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.<br />
(p)<br />
Employees’ benefits<br />
(i)<br />
Short term employee benefits<br />
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave and bonuses are accrued in the period in which the associated<br />
services are rendered by the employees of the Group.<br />
(ii)<br />
Defined contribution plan<br />
The Group contributes to the Employees’ Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan, regulated and<br />
managed by the government. The contributions are charged to the income statement in the period to which they<br />
relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.<br />
The Group may from time to time at its sole discretion make cash contribution into a fund established under the<br />
Mycron <strong>Steel</strong> Key Executive Retirement (“MSKER”) Scheme, a defined contribution plan, for the benefit of the eligible<br />
employees. The amount of cash contributed depends on the performance of the individual employees and the<br />
profitability of the Group. The contributions are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.<br />
(q)<br />
Income tax<br />
Current tax expense is determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and includes<br />
all taxes based upon the taxable profits.<br />
