Notes to the financial statements
31 December 2009
(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements include separate financial statements for RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and Urgent Issues Group Interpretations.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited group and the separate financial statements of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Financial statement presentation
The Group has applied the revised AASB 101Presentation of Financial Statementswhich became effective on 1 January 2009. The revised standard requires the separate presentation of statements of comprehensive income and statements of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity must now be presented in the statements of comprehensive income. As a consequence, the Group had to change the presentation of its financial statements. Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.
Capital deficiency
As at 31 December 2009, the Group, has a working capital deficiency of $57,175k (2008: $25,965k).The Group has experienced operating profits after income tax from continuing operations during the financial year ending on that date of $1,464k (2008: losses of $3,906k). The directors of RD Card Holdings Limited have given an undertaking that repayment of inter-company current account amounts will be subordinated in favour of all other creditors and RD Card Holdings Limited has accepted the responsibility of providing and undertakes to provide sufficient financial assistance to the Group as and when it is needed to enable the Group to continue its operations and fulfil all of its financial obligations now and in the future. The undertaking is provided for a minimum period of twelve months from 2 July 2010.
In the event of a sale of the Group within twelve months from the date of the letter of support, the letter of support will be rescinded on the date of sale. The ability of the Group to then continue as a going concern will be dependent upon whether the new owners will be able to support the Group or the Group obtains financing to support itself as a going concern entity.
As a result of the above matters, there is substantial doubt whether the Group will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. However, the directors of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited, having received the letter of support from the parent entity, have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis. At this time, the directors of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial report at 31 December 2009. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 31 December 2009 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to note 1(h)).
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited.
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint venture operation have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• | | assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position |
|
• | | income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions) and |
|
• | | all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. |

(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
(i) Card fee revenue
Card fee revenue is recognised when earned. Annual card fees charged in advance are deferred and brought to account over the period to which they relate.
(ii) Credit and service charges
Revenue, in the form of credit charges and service charges, is recognised when a transaction is charged to a customer’s account. Merchant services fee revenue is recognised on notification of a fuel or other sale by the merchant.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of each reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Tax consolidation legislation
RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 18 December 2006.
The head entity, RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in note 7.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(g) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases (note 26). Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statements of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 26). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(h) Business combinations
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer to note 1(n)). If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statements of comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
(i) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statements of financial position.

(k) Trade receivables
All trade debtors are recognised when transactions are processed and include both unbilled and billed amounts.
Collectibility of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. All accounts over 180 days are written off immediately as bad debts expense.
(l) Inventories
(i) POS terminals
Terminals are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(m) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited, net of tax, to other reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first charged against revaluation reserves directly in equity to the extent of the remaining reserve attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to the statements of comprehensive income. Each year, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statements of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost, net of tax, is transferred from the property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement to the Group, whichever is the shorter.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
— Plant and equipment | | 3-5 years | | 3-5 years |
— Leasehold improvements | | | 15 | % | | | 15 | % |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(i)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statements of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
(n) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an 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 acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

(ii) Brands
Brands have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of brands and licences over their estimated useful lives, which vary from 10 to 20 years.
(iii) Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The customer contracts are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expected benefit which vary from 5 to 18 years.
(iv) Customer relationships
Customer relationships acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The customer relationships are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expected benefit which is 13 years.
(v) Software development
Software development relates to software which has been internally developed. Software development is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expected benefit which is 5 years.
(vi) Software licence
Software licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impaired losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of the licences over their estimated useful lives which is 3 years.
(vii) Technology
This relates to the giftvouchers.com database and the website. They have an estimated useful life of 10 years.
(o) Trade and other payables
All merchant and other payables are recognised when transactions are processed and are paid in accordance with the terms agreed by the merchant upon joining or the supplier. Payment dates and rates may vary from merchant to merchant.
Where it is not possible to identify merchant details, unclaimed monies are recorded separately and recognised as income over a period of six years in accordance with the relevant state legislation on unclaimed monies law in accordance with external legal advice.
(p) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are removed from the statements of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of each reporting period.
(q) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

(r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of each reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(s) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of each reporting period are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the end of each reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of each reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of each reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(iii) Retirement benefit obligations
Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
(t) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
(u) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(v) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
| • | | the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares |
|
| • | | by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares . |
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
| • | | the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and |
|
| • | | the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. |

(w) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(x) Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Class order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
(y) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2009 reporting periods. The Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
(i) AASB 9Financial Instrumentsand AASB 2009-11Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9(effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
AASB 9 addresses the classification and measurement of financials assets and is likely to affect the group’s accounting for its financial assets. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 and the group is yet to assess its full impact.

2 Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk). The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.
The group and the parent entity hold the following financial instruments:

(c) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.
(d) Fair value measurements
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates 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 are discussed below.
(i) Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(n). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions.

(c) Tax consolidation legislation
RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation from 18 December 2006. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1(f).
On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

9 Current assets — Trade and other receivables (continued)
(a) Impaired trade receivables
As at 31 December 2009 current trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $250,156 (2008 — $30,396) were impaired. The amount of the provision was $250,156 (2008 - $30,396). The individually impaired receivables mainly relate to customers, which are in unexpectedly difficult economic situations. It was assessed that a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. There were no impaired trade receivables for the parent in 2009 or 2008.
The ageing of these receivables is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Consolidated |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
| | $’000 | | $’000 |
| | | | | | | | |
1 to 3 months | | | 250 | | | | 30 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | 250 | | | | 30 | |
| | | | | | | | |
(b) Past due but not impaired
As of 31 December 2009, trade receivables of $2,584,945 (2008 — $3,531,874) were past due but not impaired. These relate to number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Consolidated | | Parent entity |
| | 2009 | | 2008 | | 2009 | | 2008 |
| | $’000 | | $’000 | | $’000 | | $’000 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Up to 3 months | | | 1,998 | | | | 2,698 | | | | — | | | | — | |
3 to 6 months | | | 544 | | | | 772 | | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2,542 | | | | 3,470 | | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.
(c) Other receivables
These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group. Interest may be charged at commercial rates where the terms of repayment exceed six months. Collateral is not normally obtained. For the parent entity, these are receivables from tax consolidated entities under the tax funding agreement, see note 7(c) and note 27(e).
(d) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk
Refer to for an analysis of Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk in relation to trade and other receivables.
Information about the Group’s and the parent entity’s exposure to exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in relation to trade and other receivables is provided in note 2.
(e) Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of each reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. The fair value of securities held for certain trade receivable is insignificant as is the fair value of any collateral sold or repledged. Refer to note 2 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity’s trade receivables.

To the board of directors and shareholders:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements of RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. RD Card Holdings Australia Pty Ltd has included parent entity only information on the face of the consolidated financial statements and other parent entity only disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Such parent entity only information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RD Card Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as disclosed in Note 1(a).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
