1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies (a)

Basis of Preparation The financial statements are a general purpose financial report and have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements (RDR) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Revenue -

Revenue is recognised in

the accounts from the sale of goods and services upon delivery of the goods and services. Revenue is measured based on the cash or cash equivalent consideration received, after deducting discounts. The Club operates a member loyalty and rewards program whereby members accumulate points for

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the

dollars spent. The redemption of points for Club products and services is treated as revenue at the time of sale, with a corresponding expense at that time. Interest revenue is recognised on an accruals basis in the period it is derived. (b)

Goods & Service Tax (GST) - Revenues,

expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables

The freehold land and buildings were independently valued by Global Valuation Services Pty Ltd on 30 June 2018 and the directors made the decision to use that valuation as the fair value of the Club's land and buildings as at 31 December 2018. The valuation model is based on fair value of the land plus depreciated replacement cost of the buildings. The critical assumptions adopted in determining the valuation were the location, zoning and use of the land and buildings, and comparative recent property sales in the area. The directors have reviewed the key assumptions made by the independent valuers in 2018. They concluded that these assumptions remain materially unchanged and are satisfied that the carrying values do not exceed the recoverable amount of the land and buildings. The directors do not believe that there has been a material movement in the fair values since valuation date. Accordingly, no revaluation or impairment losses were recognised this financial year.
