Impairment as noted above was immaterial at 30 June 2024, though in view of prevailing market conditions there exists a heightened level of credit risk associated with counterparties.

A substantial portion of the Group’s loans and receivables balances are unsecured. June 2024 June 2023 21.a.

Movements in contract debtors during the financial year relate primarily to amounts transferred into Trade receivables as the right to receive payment from the customer has become unconditional. 2. Movements in construction contract assets during the financial year related primarily to revenue recognised on construction contracts with customers in excess of billings raised during the financial year. 22. Trade and Other Payables Accounting Policies Trade Creditors Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Trade and other payables are settled in the normal course of business. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash outflows over the term of the trade and other payables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other payables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as an expense over the remaining term. Construction Contract Liabilities Construction contracts where the total progress billings issued to clients (together with foreseeable losses, if applicable) on a project exceed the revenue recognised (costs incurred to date plus recognised profit) on the contract are recognised as a liability. Retentions Retentions are amounts payable for the purpose of security and for the provision of defects in accordance with contract terms. Release of retention amounts are in accordance with contractual terms. Unearned Income Primarily relates to unearned income and deposits received in advance on presold apartments. These amounts will be recognised as income in line with the ‘Sale of development properties’ accounting policy in Note 4 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ . Lease Liabilities Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Section C. Liquidity and Working Capital continued 21. Loans and Receivables continued
