Speciality Metals International Limited Annual Report 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Page | 38 The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. (m) Other Taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (n) Currency Both the functional and presentation currency is Australian dollars (A$). (o) Investment in Subsidiaries The parent entity’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the cost method of accounting in the Company’s financial statements included in Note 16. (p) Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Accounting for Acquisition of Businesses Accounting for acquisition of businesses requires judgement and estimates in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. The relevant accounting standard allows the fair value of assets acquired to be refined for a window of a year after the acquisition date and judgement is required to ensure that any adjustments made reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs to sell or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. Refer to notes 7, 8, and 16 for further detail regarding judgements made when assessing impairment of plant and equipment and deferred exploration and evaluation costs and determining their recoverable amount. Derivative Financial Instruments The recoverable value of derivative financial assets is dependent on the Company’s share price. Management has estimated the recoverable value at year end based on the share price at that date.
