43 Annual Report 2022 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (xiii) Investments and other financial assets Investments and financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets under AASB 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics, which arise on specified dates and are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). For financial assets measured at amortised cost, these assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. As of 30 June 2022, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortised costs. (xiv) Trade and other payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (xv) Employee entitlements Short-term and long-term employee benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave in the period the related service is rendered. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. Share-based compensation The Group operates a share-based compensation plan. This consists of an incentive option plan. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted. (xvi) Provisions A provision is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. (xvii) Leases AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 introduces a single lease accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. Set out below are the accounting policies of the Group upon adoption of AASB 16: Right-of-use assets The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.
