CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the nancial year ended 30 June 2015
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
2.7 Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, appropriately
adjusted at the balance sheet date to approximate actual cost on a weighted average basis. In the case of nished products,
cost includes materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
2.8 Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies
Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s
balance sheet. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, the difference between disposal proceeds
and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in prot or loss.
2.9 Property and equipment
(a) Measurement
Property and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.
Cost recognised includes purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
(b) Depreciation
No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their
depreciable amounts over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements - Shorter of lease term or useful life
Buildings - 20 to 30 years
Machinery and equipment - 1 to 6 years
Furniture, xtures and ofce equipment - 1 to 8 years
The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, at each
balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in prot or loss when the changes arise.
(c) Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure relating to property and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount
of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benets associated with the item will ow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in prot or loss when
incurred.
(d) Disposal
On disposal of an item of property and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is
recognised in prot or loss when incurred.
2.10 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
