28 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted by the group and the Company are as follows:(a) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain property, plant and equipment and financial instruments and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. (c) Investment in subsidiary In the Company's financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost, unless in the opinion of the directors, there has been a permanent diminution in value, in which event they are written down to the net asset value. (d) Revenue recognition Turnover Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business net of Value Added Tax, discounts, allowances and returns. Sale of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed. Other income Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. Management fee is recognised on an accrual basis.

(e)

Property, plant and equipment - depreciation Freehold land and buildings are stated at their revalued amounts being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the reporting date. Revaluation of land and buildings is being done every three years by an independent valuer.

29 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(e) Property, plant and equipment - depreciation (Cont'd) Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is credited in equity to the properties revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in statement of comprehensive income, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is charged to statement of comprehensive income to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the properties revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained earnings. Plant and machinery are stated at their revalued amounts being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluation adjustments are recognised on the same basis as for land and buildings. Plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is not provided for on freehold land. On other items of fixed assets, it is calculated to write off the cost or revalued amount of assets over the expected useful lives of such assets. The annual depreciation rates used are as follows: Plant and machinery Factory building Motor vehicles Computer equipment Office furniture and equipment 6.5% - 12% p.a. straight line 2% p.a. straight line 10% - 14.28% p.a. straight line 20% - 33% p.a. straight line 12.5% - 50% p.a. straight line

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. (f) Government grants Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.

30 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(g) Intangible assets Software costs Expenditure incurred on the development of new computer software programmes is recognised as asset and is amortised at 25% p.a on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Cost associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.

(h)

Foreign currency balances Transactions is foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies outstanding at year end are translated to Mauritian Rupees at the rates of exchange ruling at end of the reporting period, or at the amounts settled, where known. Exchange differences arising on transaction of monetary assets and liabilities are dealt with in the statement of comprehensive income.

(i)

Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on Average Cost (AVCO) method. Cost is based on the invoiced value of materials plus in the case of finished goods, a proportion of labour and factory overheads, based on a normal level of production. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

(j)

Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The companys liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

31 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(k) Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand and demand deposits net of bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are shortterm highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. (l) Leased assets Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the groups general policy on borrowing costs. (m) Retirement benefits (i) Defined benefit obligation The present value of funded obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position as a non-current liability after adjusting for the fair value of plan assets, any unrecognised actuarial gains and losses and any unrecognised past service cost. A firm of actuaries carries out the valuation of the funded obligation triennially. The current service cost and any recognised past service cost are included as an expense together with the associated interest cost, net of expected return on plan assets. A portion of the actuarial gains and losses is recognised as income or expense if the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous accounting period exceeded at that date: - 10% of the present value of defined benefit obligation at that date; and - 10% of the fair values of plan assets at that date. (ii) Other retirement benefits The present value of other retirement benefits as provided under the Employment Rights Act 2008 is recognised in the statement of financial position as a non-current liability. The Company is a party to a contractual arrangement with related companies with respect to an unfunded pension plan. When there is a contractual arrangement or stated policy for charging the net benefit costs for the plan as a whole measured in accordance with IAS 19 to related companies, each related company recognised in its individual financial statements, the net defined benefit so charged. The present value of the unfunded obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position as a noncurrent liability based on the the valuation carried out by a firm of actuaries annually. If there is a contractual agreement or stated policy for charging the net defined benefit cost for the plan as a whole measured in accordance with IAS 19 to related companies, each related company recognises in its individual financial statements, the net defined benefit cost so charged. (iii) State plan Contributions to the National Pension Scheme are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they fall due.

32 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(n) Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when the Company has become party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Financial instruments are initially measured at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below:(i) Accounts receivable Accounts receivable originated by the Company are stated at cost less provision for doubtful debts. An estimate of doubtful debts is made based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the reporting date. Debts are written off during the period in which they are identified. (ii) Loans receivable from related companies Loans receivable from related companies are stated at their principal value. (iii) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value, based on the relevant exchange rates at the reporting date. (iv) Accounts payable Accounts payable are stated at amortised cost. (v) Borrowings Interest bearing loans and bank overdrafts are initially recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption, are accounted for on an accrual basis and are added to the carrying amount of the instalment to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. (o) Related parties For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the group if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the group or exercise significant influence over the group in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or if they and the group are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or other entities. (p) Impairment At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use, that is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing to use the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is recognised against the fair value reserve for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in the fair value reserve for that same asset. Any excess is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

33 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(p) Provision Provisions are recognised when the group and the company have a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the group and the company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. (q) Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group's share of the Net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/Associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidies is shown in a separate line in the statement of financial position. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairement loss. Gain and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allotted to CGU for the purpose of impairment testing. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the limit. An impairment less recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the directors and management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. It also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations and assumptions concerning future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results could, by definition therefore, often differ from the related accounting estimates.

Where applicable, the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, or estimations 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. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, 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. (i) Impairment of assets Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use, calculated on the basis of management' s assumptions and estimates. Changing the key assumptions, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the value-in-use calculations.

34 MARGARINE INDUSTRIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
4. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONT'D)
(ii) Property valuation In arriving at the fair value of the properties, which is determined by on an open market value basis, the independent valuers have to make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the reporting date. Should these assumptions and estimates change, or not be met, the valuation as adopted in the financial statements will be affected. (iii) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation Freehold land and buildings, and the building component of owner-occupied leasehold properties are valued every three years by independent valuers. In the intervening years the group reviews the carrying values and adjustment is made where there has been a material change. In arriving at the valuation of land and buildings, assumptions and economic estimates have to be made. Management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for the group's property, plant and equipment. Management will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different to previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. (iv) Deferred tax assets Recognition of deferred tax assets, which principally relate to tax losses, depends on the management's expectation of future taxable profit that will be available against which the tax losses can be utilized. The outcome of their actual utilization may be different. (v) Pension obligations The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the expected long-term rate of return on the relevant plan assets and the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. The expected return on plan assets assumption is determined on a uniform basis, taking into consideration long-term historical returns, asset allocation and future estimates of long-term investment returns. The group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the group considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions. (vi) Allowances for bad debts Allowances for bad debts for the group and the company is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that the trade receivables are not overstated due to non-recoverability. The allowance for bad debts for all customers is based on a variety of factors, including the overall quality and ageing of the receivables, continuing credit evaluation of the customer`s financial conditions. Also, specific provisions for individual accounts are recorded when the group and the company become aware of the customer`s inability to meet its financial obligations such as in the case of deterioration in the customer`s operating results or financial position.

GOODWILL
2011 and 2010 Rs COST Amount recognised on acquisition IMPAIRMENT Impairment loss recognised in the year CARRYING AMOUNT At 31 December 651,218 651,218

The goodwill arose from the full acquisition of the minority shares in Central Distributors Co. Ltd which is a wholly owned subsidiary. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from that busines combinations. Before recognition of impairment losses, the carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated wholly to the trading of consumer goods.

The group assesses the recoverable amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if there are indications of any impairment. The directors are of the opinion that no impairment has occured during the year. The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU. The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in the market.

The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value. The average credit period on sales of goods and services is 69 days (2010: 65 days) for the group and 72 days (2010: 73 days) for the Company. The group and the Company have recognised allowance for doubtful debts against trade receivables above 180 days by reference to past default experience. Before accepting any new customer, the group and the Company assess the potential customers credit quality and defines credit limits by customer and these are reviewed on a regular basis. Included in the group's and the Company's trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of Rs 6,991,029 (2010: Rs 5,638,279 ) for the group and Rs 5,046,114 (2010: Rs 2,777,660) for the Company, which are past due at the reporting date for which the group and the Company have not provided as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The average age of these receivables is 75 days.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the group and the Company consider any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

The Company has entered into contracts to purchase raw materials from suppliers in Germany. The Company has enterred into forward exchange contracts (for terms of exceeding 3 months) to hedge against the exchange rate risk arising from these purchases. Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. The group and the company have adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are approved and reviewed by key management on a regular basis. The group's and the Companys credit risk are primarily attributable to trade receivables which are unsecured. The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of allowances for doubtful receivables, estimated by management based on prior experience and represents the group's and the companys maximum exposure to credit risk. The group and the Company do not have significant concentration of risk on the trade receivables due to their large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Interest rate risk The group and the Company are exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The group and the Company managed the risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents managements assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the group's and the companys profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 would decrease/increase by Rs583,643 and Rs458,986 (2010: the loss would increase/decrease by Rs501,045 and Rs382,194) respectively. This is mainly attributable to the group's and the companys exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings. Fair values Except where stated elsewhere, the carrying amounts of the companys financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the balances involved.
