55 2022 ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2022 (cont.) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 4.14 REHABILITATION COSTS (cont.) Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the net present value of the provision and inflationary increases are accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an interest expense. The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, technology or other circumstances. 4.15 PROVISIONS A provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and where appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. 4.16 EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net operating results after income tax attributable to members of the parent entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to potential ordinary shares. 4.17 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. 4.18 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The Group recognises revenue when control has passed to the buyer; the Company has no significant continuing involvement; and the amount of revenue and costs incurred or costs to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. The Group’s assessment is that this occurs when the sales contract has been entered into and the customer has physical possession of the gold as this is the point at which the customer obtains the ability to direct the use and obtains substantially all of the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset. The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon delivery into the sales contract. As part of the risk management policy, the Group enters into gold forward contracts to manage the gold price of a proportion of anticipated gold sales. The counterparty to the gold forward contracts is BNP Paribas, Australia Branch, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Sydney Branch and Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) (the counterparties). It is management’s intention to settle each contract through physical delivery of gold and as such, the gold forward sale contracts disclosed below do not meet the criteria of financial instruments for accounting purposes. This is referred to as the “own use” exemption. Accordingly, the contracts will be accounted for as sale contracts with revenue recognised once the gold has been delivered to the counterparties. 4.19 LEASES At the inception of a contract the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognises it as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
