Notes to the financial statements

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
f) Contract balances (Continued)

The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional
(i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due), which
usually occurs when the Company issues an invoice to the customer.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods transferred and services
rendered in the ordinary course of business and represent the Company’s right to an amount
of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment
of the consideration is due). They are generally due for settlement within 30 to 90 days and
therefore are all classified as current.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional
unless they contain significant financing component, when they are recognised at fair value.
The Company holds the trade receivable with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows
and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost.

Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the
customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services
to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment
is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company
performs under the contract.

g) Financial assets

Recognition and initial measurement

The Company’s financial assets comprise trade and other receivables, contract assets, term
deposits and bank balances and cash. These financial assets are classified, at initial recognition,
as subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give
rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal
amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an
instrument level.

The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its
financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash
flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
