1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2003. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the preceding year.
1.1 Basis of Accounting
These financial statements have been prepared as a general purpose financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the financial reporting provisions of the Port Authorities Act 1999.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual accounting basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for property, plant and equipment which has been recorded at deemed cost based on prior period revaluations.
1.2 Revenue Recognition
Revenue from ordinary activities is for services to entities outside the Fremantle Ports and is recognised when the services have been provided. Miscellaneous Revenue is derived predominantly from the hire of facilities and equipment. Interest revenue includes interest on short-term investments and is recognised when accrued.
1.3 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
1.4 National Tax Equivalent Regime (Income Tax)
Fremantle Ports is subject to the National Tax Equivalent Regime (NTER).
The NTER is an administrative arrangement under which Relevant Taxation Laws are applied notionally to the NTER entities as if they were subject to those laws. Income tax equivalent liabilities are paid to the State Government.
1.5 Income Tax
Fremantle Ports adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax attributable to profit from ordinary activities shown in the Statement of Financial Performance is based on the profit from ordinary activities before tax adjusted for any permanent differences. The provisions for deferred income tax liability and the future income tax benefit represent the tax effect of timing differences calculated at the rate of income tax applicable when those timing differences are expected to reverse.
1.6 Other Financial Assets
Investments are stated at cost and interest revenue is recognised when accrued.
1.7 Receivables
Trade debtors are recognised at the amounts due and are generally settled within 30 days except for property rentals, which are governed by individual lease agreements.
The value of the provision for doubtful debts is assessed using an analysis of historical data to determine the level of risk and subsequent recovery of debts based on the age of amounts outstanding. Bad debts are written off when formally recognised as being irrecoverable.

Buildings and improvements 2 – 100

Berths, jetties and infrastructure 2.25 – 25
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
1.8 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment purchased or constructed for port operations is recorded at the cost of acquisition being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, are depreciated at rates based on the expected useful lives using the straight line method. Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the project has been completed.
The depreciation rates for the various classes of non-current assets are as follows:
1.9 Recoverable Amount of Property, Plant and Equipment
The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through the net cash inflows and outflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.
All property, plant and equipment are assessed at least annually to determine whether their carrying amounts require write down to recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined using net cash flows discounted to present values at a rate of 9.8 % (2002: 10.2 %).
Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash inflows, recoverable amount is assessed in relation to that group of assets.
Where the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. The decrement in the carrying amount is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance in the reporting period in which the recoverable amount write-down occurs.
1.10 Leased Assets
Fremantle Ports has entered into a number of operating lease arrangements for motor vehicles, computer and office equipment where the lessors effectively retain all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the items held under the operating leases. Equal instalments of the lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance over the lease term, as this is representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
1.11 Payables
Payables, including trade creditors, amounts payable and accrued expenses, are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Trade creditors are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
1.12 Interest Bearing Liabilities
Interest Bearing Liabilities are recognised and carried at their principal amounts. Borrowing costs are recognised when incurred.
1.13 Net Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The net fair values of monetary financial assets and liabilities not traded in an organised financial market are determined using the cost basis.
1.14 Employee Benefits
Annual and Sick Leave benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the year-end represent present obligations resulting from employees ̓services provided to reporting date and are provided at nominal amounts calculated on the basis of remuneration rates expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
Long Service Leave liability was assessed on the basis of the present value of estimated future payments, discounted by the Commonwealth Government Bonds rates estimated to be applicable to the relevant period. A 3% (2002: 3%) per annum rate of increase in employee wage and salary rates was assumed in the present value calculations.
The liability in all provisions covers entitlements from the date the employee commences in accordance with the conditions of employment.
Provisions are made for long service leave even though in some cases such amounts are currently not vesting. Associated payroll on-costs were included in the determination of provisions.
1.15 Change in Accounting Policy
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year except for the accounting policies with respect to the provision for employee benefits.
Employee Benefits
Fremantle Ports has adopted the revised AASB 1028 Employee Benefits, which has resulted in a change in the accounting policy for the measurement of employee benefit liabilities. Previously, annual leave and vested sick leave were measured on the current remuneration rates as at the reporting date. In accordance with the requirements of the revised Standard, these employee benefits are now measured based on the remuneration rates expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The effect of the revised policy has been to increase employee benefit liabilities at the beginning of the year by $286,705, decrease retained profits by $200,693 and decrease future income tax benefit by $86,012. In addition, current year profits have decreased by $273,041 with an increase in the provision of employee benefits at 30 June 2003 of $559,746 as a result of the change in accounting policy.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
1.16 Employee Superannuation
The Gold State Superannuation Scheme, a defined benefit lump sum scheme, and the Superannuation and Family Benefits Act Scheme, a defined benefit pension scheme are now closed to new members. Fremantle Ports is liable for superannuation benefits for past years ̓service of members of the Superannuation and Family Benefits Act Scheme who elected to transfer to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme. Fremantle Ports also accrues for superannuation benefits to the pension scheme for those members who elected not to transfer from that scheme.
Staff who do not contribute to either of these schemes become non-contributory members of the West State Superannuation Scheme, an accumulation fund complying with the Commonwealth Government s̓ Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.
The superannuation liability for existing employees with the pre-transfer service incurred under the Superannuation and Family Benefits Act pension scheme who transferred to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme are provided for at reporting date.
The liabilities for superannuation charges under the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and West State Superannuation Scheme are extinguished by payment of employer contributions to the Government Employee Superannuation Board.
Fremantle Ports ̓total superannuation liability has been actuarially assessed as at 30 June 2003.
The note disclosure required by paragraph 6.10 of AASB 1028 Employee Benefits (being the employerʼs share of the difference between employees ̓accrued superannuation benefits and the attributable net market value of plan assets) has not been provided. State scheme deficiencies are recognised by the State in its whole of government reporting. The Government Employees Superannuation Boardʼs records are not structured to provide the information for Fremantle Ports. Accordingly, deriving the information for Fremantle Ports is impractical under current arrangements, and thus any benefits thereof would be exceeded by the cost of obtaining the information.
1.17 Cash Assets
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash assets include Cash on Hand, Cash at Bank and At Call Deposits.
1.18 Goods and Services Tax
The Federal Government, as part of its national taxation reform agenda, introduced a Goods and Services Tax (GST) which became operational on 1 July 2000. GST applies equally to government agencies and the private sector.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.
1.19 Comparatives
Where the classification of an item in the financial statements has been changed in relation to the corresponding item in the financial statements for the immediately preceding financial year, the item for that immediately preceding financial year has been similarly reclassified for the purpose of showing comparative figures.

5. DIVIDENDS
2003$ʼ000
2002$ʼ000
Dividend provided for or paid for the financial year 5,155 6,798
The directors intend to make a recommendation to the Minister, that dividends amounting to $5,154,870 (2002: $6,797,860) be declared.
The new AASB 1044 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets states that dividends cannot be recognized as a provision unless they are declared, determined or publicly recommended prior to reporting date. The publication of proposed dividends in the Statement of Corporate Intent creates a valid expectation that a dividend will be paid. Therefore, a provision for dividend of $5,154,870 (2002: $6,797,860) has been provided for in the accounts in respect of the year ended 30 June 2003 and includes a special provision of $0.438 million (2002: $0.413 million) for a required Government Efficiency Dividend.

To the Parliament of Western Australia
Audit OpinionIn my opinion, the financial statements of the Fremantle Port Authority are properly drawn up:
(a) so as to give a true and fair view of:(i) the Authorityʼs financial position at June 30, 2003 and of its performance for the financial year
ended on that date; and(ii) the other matters required by Schedule 5 of the Port Authorities Act 1999 to be dealt with in the
financial statements;(b) in accordance with the provisions of the Port Authorities Act 1999; and(c) in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting
requirements in Australia.
ScopeThe Board s̓ RoleThe Board of Directors is responsible for the financial statements.
The financial statements consist of the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows, accompanying Notes and Directors ̓Declaration.
Summary of my RoleAs required by the Port Authorities Act 1999, I have independently audited the financial statements to express an opinion on them. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence.
An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the financial statements is error free, nor does it examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the financial statements.
