Notes To The Financial Statements (Continued)
30 June 2015
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise of cash at bank and on
hand. For the purpose of the consolidated and organisation statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash at bank and on hand, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are subsequently measured at a weighted
average cost.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the organisation at their fair value or, if
lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the
lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease
obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease
obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged directly against income. Rentals payable under operating leases are
charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
