3 . Summary of Accounting Policies ( continued )
f ) Impairment The carrying values of property , plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date , with the recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired .
The recoverable amount of property , plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use . Depreciated replacement cost is used to determine value in use . Depreciated replacement cost is the current replacement cost of an item of plant and equipment less , where applicable , accumulated depreciation to date , calculated on the basis of such cost .
g ) Leased assets Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee . All other leases are classified as operating leases .
Company as lessee Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term , except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed .
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or , if lower , at the present value of the minimum lease payments . The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation . Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability . Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss , unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets , in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company ’ s general policy on borrowing costs .
Lease incentives In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases , such incentives are recognised as a liability . The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis , except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed .
h ) Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable . Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of discounts , refunds and amounts collected on behalf of third parties . The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured , it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company ’ s activities as described below .
Fundraising Fundraising is recorded when the income is received or receivable .
Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract .
Government funding - operational Government funding agreements are contracted agreements with the Government to provide a variety of early childhood education and care programs in the community . They are received in the form of transfers of resources to the Company in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the Company . Non-reciprocal government funding monies , other than monies held in trust , are credited to income when received in accordance with AASB 1004 “ Contributions ”. Other service revenues from government agencies are recognised upon delivery of services in accordance with AASB 118 “ Revenue ”.
