McConnell Dowell 2024 Financial Statements

15 Amounts due to contract customers Where progress billings exceed the aggregate of costs plus margin less losses, the net amounts are reflected as a liability and is carried at amortised cost. Borrowings and other liabilities Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in earnings when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Bank overdraft Bank overdrafts are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in earnings. INVENTORIES Inventories comprise raw materials and consumable stores. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Write-downs to net realisable value and inventory losses are expensed in the period in which the write-downs or losses occur. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES The Group’s investment in its associates is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements and at cost in the parent. The associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence. The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have over 20% of the voting rights. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The Group’s share of its associates’ profits or losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, and its share of movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s statement of profit or loss as a component of other income, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. After application of the equity method the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associate. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and it’s carrying value and recognises the amount in the statement of profit or loss. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. INTEREST IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group’s interest in joint arrangements are either classified as joint operations or joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operation, the Group entity as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation, its: • Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly • Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly • Revenue from its share of the output arising from the joint operation • Share of the revenue from the output by the joint operation, and • Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
