10. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES 
Accounting Policy
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. 
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A 
provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts 
due according to the original terms of receivables.
Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision 
is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific 
knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position.
Impairment of receivables
The Group has recognised a loss of $8,485 (2016: $6,411) in profit or loss in respect of impairment of receivables for the year 
ended 30 June 2017.
Past due but not impaired
Customers with balances past due but without provision for impairment of receivables amount to $18,150 as at 30 June 2017 
(30 June 2016: $10,649). 
The Group did not consider a credit risk on the aggregate balances after reviewing the credit terms of customers based on 
recent collection practices.
Effective interest rates and credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or Group of counterparties 
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 24(a). The class of assets described as ‘trade 
and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
There is no interest rate risk for the balances of trade and other receivables. There is no material credit risk associated with 
other receivables.
