Trade debtors are non-interest bearing. The carrying amount of trade debtors impaired by credit losses is reduced through the use of an allowance
account unless the Group writes o the amount ascertained to be uncollectible. In subsequent periods when a trade debtor is ascertained to
be uncollectible, it is written o against the allowance account.
Significant financial diiculties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or
delinquency in payments (more than 90 days aging of debtor balances) are considered indicators that the trade debtor is impaired. Individual
trade debtor is written o when Management deems the amount not to be collectible.
Accrued receivables pertain to services rendered which have not been billed.
Amounts owing by subsidiary, associated and joint venture companies are unsecured, trade-related, non-interest bearing and are repayable
on demand. The amounts are neither overdue nor impaired.
The interest on a short-term loan to an associated company was computed using Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus an agreed margin. The loan was
denominated in AUD and the interest rate was 10.345% per annum. Net carrying amount of the loan approximates fair value as interest rates
on the loan approximate market interest rates.
