Date of authorisation for issue
Historical cost convention
Critical accounting estimates
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal address of Charles Darwin University is Ellengowan Drive, Casuarina, Darwin.
(a) Basis of preparation
Charles Darwin University was enacted as a Body Corporate on 5 November 2003 by the Charles Darwin University Act 2003 (the Act) and is domiciled in Australia. The University is subject to all directions of the Council of the University. The functions of the University are set out in Section 5 of the Act. Under the provisions of the Act, at its commencement, Charles Darwin University assumed all the property, rights and liabilities of Northern Territory University, Centralian College (Alice Springs based), and Northern Territory Rural College (Katherine based), except for the superannuation liability for Centralian College which remained with the Northern Territory Government's Central Holding Authority. Subsequently as per the Charles Darwin University Act 2003 and amendment to the Menzies School of Health Research Act, the Menzies School of Health Research became a controlled entity of the University from 1 January 2004.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements is set out below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years reported, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements include separate statements of Charles Darwin University as the parent entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Charles Darwin University and its subsidiaries.
The annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements of Charles Darwin University. They have been prepared on an accrual basis and comply with Australian Accounting Standards, AASB Interpretations, the requirements of the Department of Education and other State/Australian Government legislative requirements.
Charles Darwin University is a not-for-profit entity and these statements have been prepared on that basis. Some of the Australian Accounting Standards requirements for not-for-profit entities are inconsistent with the IFRS requirements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the members' Council of Charles Darwin University on 15 May 2014.
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 at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.
(b) Basis of consolidation(i) Subsidiaries
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Charles Darwin University's accounting policies. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Charles Darwin University ("parent entity") as at 31 December 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Charles Darwin University 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.

(ii) HELP payments
(iii) Student fees and charges
Charles Darwin University treats operating grants received from Australian Government entities as income in the year of receipt. Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where the Group obtains control of the right to receive the grant, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and it can be reliably measured.
Revenue from HELP is categorised into those received from the Australian Government and those received directly from students. Revenue is recognised and measured in accordance with the above disclosure.
Fees and charges are recognised as income in the year of receipt, except to the extent that fees and charges relate to courses to be held in future periods. Such receipts (or portion thereof) is treated as income in advance in liabilities. Conversely, fees and charges relating to debtors are recognised as revenue in the year to which the prescribed course relates.
The results and financial position of all the University entities are presented in Australian dollars.
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
(i) Government grants
(c) Foreign currency translation(i) Functional and presentation currency
(ii) Transactions and balances
(iii) Group entities
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 Charles Darwin University's functional and presentation currency.
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 income statement. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at balance date. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement as part of the fair value gain or loss.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group 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.
The interests in joint venture entities are accounted for in the financial statements of the parent. The share of the income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the joint venture entities is recognised in the financial statements in the proportion held by Charles Darwin University. Details relating to joint ventures are set out in Note 36.

(iv) Rendering of services
(vi) Contribution of assets
(vii) Liabilities forgiven
(h) Trade receivables
(f) Leases
(g) Impairment of assets
For statement of cash flow presentation purposes, 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 twelve months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
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, are capitalised at the lease's inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the leased item's useful life and the lease term (using the straight-line method).
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Lease expenditure relating to leases deemed to be "operating leases" is expensed as incurred.
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Other assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed 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 flows 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 each reporting date.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value being original invoice amount, subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement within no more than 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.
(v) Sale of goods and disposal of assets
The gross amount of a liability forgiven by a credit provider is recognised as revenue.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract, as determined within the individual contracts.
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of assets is recognised when the entity has passed control to the buyer.
Revenue arising from the contribution of assets is recognised when the entity gains control of the contribution or the right to receive the contribution.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Subsequent measurement
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are included in the income statement within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.
Changes in the fair value of a monetary security denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security (other than interest). The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount (other than interest) are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(ii) Loans and receivables
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
(j) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued
(k) Investments and other financial assets
Classification
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and direct labour. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal, if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The University does not enter into derivative contracts. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the balance sheet.

Livestock
(l) Biological assets
(m) Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of assets and liabilities must be measured for recognition and disclosure purposes.
The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements.
The fair value of assets or liabilities traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for assets held by the Group is the most representative of fair value in the circumstances within the bid-ask spread.
The fair value of instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date.
Fair value measurement of non-financial assets is based on the highest and best use of the asset. The Group considers market participants use of, or purchase price of the asset, to use it in a manner that would be highest and best use.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Livestock consists of cattle and horses located at Katherine Campus and Mataranka Station. Livestock are measured at their fair value less estimated point of sale costs. The fair value of the livestock is determined by an independent valuation based on market prices for livestock in the local area, at the time of sale. Changes in the fair value less estimated point of sale costs are recognised in the income statement in the year they arise plus purchases of livestock are recorded as cash flows used in investing activities. Further details are disclosed in Note 17.
Land and buildings (except for investment properties - refer to Note 18) are shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other 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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
Fair value
Impairment
Fair value measurement
The fair values of investments and other financial assets are based on quoted prices in an active market. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques, that maximise the use of relevant data. These include reference to the estimated price in an orderly transaction that would take place between market participants at the measurement date. Other valuation techniques used are the cost approach and the income approach based on the characteristics of the asset and the assumptions made by market participants.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

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 balance sheet date and does not expect to settle the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
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 income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not 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 balance sheet 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.

(p) Borrowings

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading revaluation surplus. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are also firstly recognised in other comprehensive income before reducing the balance of revaluation surpluses in equity, to the extent of the remaining reserve attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to the income statement.
Land and Works of Art are not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets 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:
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 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.
Charles Darwin University has adopted the policy of revaluing its land and buildings once every three years unless there is a material change in the market value. Colliers International NT carried out a physical valuation of land and buildings as at 31 December 2013 (2012: desktop valuation). The basis of the valuation was fair value methodology. The fair value of an asset generally equates to the asset's market price and where reliable evidence was not available the asset's replacement cost has been assumed to be its fair value. Land improvements were valued by Colliers International NT in December 2013 using fair value methodology. All additions during 2013 have been recorded at cost which equates approximately to fair value. The Palmerston Campus freehold land revaluation is disclosed in Note 22.
The library and works of art collections were revalued by Colliers International NT in December 2013. The basis of the valuation was fair value.
Licenses 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 licenses over their estimated useful lives.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services to the University prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are normally paid within 30 days of recognition.

(ii) Other long-term obligations
The Group does not have any retirement benefit obligations.
(v) Termination benefits
(vi) Changes in accounting policy
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises termination benefits when it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits or when it has recognised costs for restructuring within the scope of AASB137 that involves the payment of termination benefits when it demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility or withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the reporting period are discounted to present value.
The adoption of the revised AASB 119 resulted in changes to the Charles Darwin University accounting policy which affected items recognised in the financial statements. The revised standard changed the accounting for employee obligations, namely annual leave. As the entity does not expect the annual leave obligation to be settled wholly within 12 months from the end of the reporting period, it is classified as long-term benefits in its entirety. This has changed measurement of the obligation as it is not measured on a discounted basis and no longer split into short and long term portions. This has not had a material impact on the value of the obligation as the majority of leave is still expected to be taken within a short timeframe after the end of the reporting period.
The adoption of this revised standard decreased the employee benefits expense for the annual reporting period ending 31 December 2013 by $240,550 ($197,094 for the reporting period ending 31 December 2012).

(q) Borrowing costs
(r) Employee benefits(i) Short-term obligations
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.
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits including wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and profit-sharing bonuses are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liability is settled, if it is expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, and is recognised in other payables. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates payable.
The liability for other long-term employee benefits such as annual leave and long service leave is recognised in current provisions for employee benefits if it is not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period. It is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date 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 reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimate future cash outflows.
Regardless of the expected timing of settlements, provisions made in respect of employee benefits are classified as a current liability, unless there is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, in which case it would be classified as a non-current liability.
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the entity's positive adjusted operating result. The Group recognises a provision where it is contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(s) Superannuation
(t) Rounding of amounts
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
The University contributes to several superannuation funds on a pay-as-you-go basis. Employee contributions are based on various percentages of their gross salaries. After serving a qualifying period, all employees are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death. Under these schemes the University's legal obligation is limited to the amount that it agrees to contribute to the fund and the actuarial and investment risks fall on the employee.
The funds provide defined benefits based on years of service, employee contributions and final average salary. The University is under no legal obligation to make up any shortfall in the funds assets to meet payments due to employees.
Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with Class Order 98/100 as amended by Class Order 04/667 issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, relating to the rounding off of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars.
(w) Taxation
(ii) For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
(u) Provisions
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(v) Web site costs
Provisions for legal claims and service warranties are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. 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 a finance cost.
Costs in relation to web sites controlled by the University are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred unless they relate to the acquisition of an asset, in which case they are capitalised and amortised over their period of expected benefit.
The Charles Darwin University is a public authority within the meaning of Section 50-25 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and its income is exempt under the provisions of that Act.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:(i) Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

(x) Investment propertyInvestment properties exclude properties held to meet service delivery objectives of the Group.
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost. Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed performance of the asset will flow to the Group. Where an investment property is acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, its cost shall be deemed to be its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Subsequent to initial recognition at cost, the investment property is carried at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices in less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are reviewed annually by a member of the Australian Property Institute. Changes in fair values are recorded in the income statement as part of the other income.
Rental revenue from the leasing of investment properties is recognised in the income statement in the periods in which it is receivable, as this represents the pattern of service rendered through the provision of the properties.
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to enhance comparability in respect of changes in presentation adopted in the current year.

Movements in the provision for impaired receivables are as follows:
The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables has been included in 'other expenses' in the Income Statement. Amounts charged to the provision account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
The other amounts within receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on credit history, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due.
As of 31 December 2013, trade receivables of $0.694M (2012: $1.905 million) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these receivables is as follows:
Consolidated Parent Entity
As at 31 December 2013, current receivables of the consolidated entity with a nominal value of $1.349 million (2012: $1.249million) were impaired. The provision was 2013 $1.349 million (2012: $1.249 million). The individually impaired receivablesmainly relate to students, whom are in unexpectedly difficult economic situations. It was assessed that a portion of thereceivables is expected to be recovered.

The University has an interest free loan with the Northern Territory Government of $6 million for the Charles Darwin University Education and Training Facility at the Darwin Waterfront Precinct. The term of the loan is five years, repayments are to commence in 2014/15 and be completed by 2016/17.
In February 2013, the University entered into an agreement for a loan facility of $28.0 million over 2 years with Northern Territory Treasury Corporation (NTTC) to assist CDU to finance the construction of the Charles Darwin University Education and Training Facility. The University made two drawdowns totalling $12.0 million during 2013. The first drawdown was for a two year term with quarterly interest repayments and fixed interest rate of 5.48% and the second drawdown was for one year and nine months with quarterly interest repayments and a fixed interest rate of 5.20%. Both drawdowns were paid back in February 2014. The loan facility is still available to the University.

Restricted funds
The property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve arises on the revaluation of non-current assets. Where a revalued asset is sold that portion of the asset revaluation reserve which relates to that asset, and is effectively realised, is transferred to accumulated funds.
Restricted funds arise where funds are received in advance and are subject to contractual obligations, including activity and financial acquittal.

The proceeds of the sale of land are accounted for on a net gain basis.

The consolidated entity's share of capital commitments and other expenditure commitments relating to joint venture operations are disclosed in Note 33.
Charles Darwin University entered into an agreement with CIC-TDH Pty Ltd to develop part of Lot 9765 Town of Palmerston (known as The Heights, Durack).

Consolidated Parent Entity
The Group is funded predominantly by annual appropriations from both the Commonwealth and Northern Territory Governments to meet proposed cash expenditure on both operational and capital items in the current financial year. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in the expectation that such funding will continue.
The University previously entered into an agreement to construct an education and training facility at Darwin Waterfront Precinct. In February 2013, the University entered into an agreement for a loan facility of $28.0 million over 2 years with an expiry date in May 2015 with Northern Territory Treasury Corporation (NTTC) to assist CDU to finance the construction. The University made two drawdowns totalling $12.0 million during 2013 and paid back this amount in February 2014. These drawdowns were not due to be repaid until 2015.
CDU also participates in a number of other joint venture entities for which the University's interest is not considered to be material. Accordingly, they have not been taken up in the accounts on an equity or proportional consolidation basis as per Australian Accounting Standard AASB 131 Interest in Joint Ventures .

NOTE 40: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTFinancial risk management
(a) Market risk(i) Foreign exchange risk
(ii) Price risk
(iv) Summarised sensitivity analysis
The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and other price risk. There have been no changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used.
Significant assumptions used in the interest rate sensitivity analysis include, reasonably possible movements in interest rates determined based on the Group's mix of investments in Australia, relationships with financial institutions as well as the last two year's historical movements and economic forecaster's expectations.
As the Group does not engage in hedging it is subject to market variations in foreign exchange. The majority of its income and expenditure for foreign currency is the US dollar which has been subject to range of $0.17 from the lowest exchange rate received to the highest in 2013. The range in 2012 was $0.11. The Australian dollar has been at historically high levels against the US dollar based on long term average rates. Forecasts vary on the expectations of the exchange rate for 2014. The Group has factored in a 10% variation ($ 0.10) based on the 2013 average of $0.95.
The Group has $18 million in borrowings as at balance date. The entity's funds on deposit are at rates fixed for the term of the deposit. At balance date, all funds were deposited with ADIs with Standard and Poor's credit ratings of A-2 or higher and/or Northern Territory Government guaranteed as per parent policy. Movement of rates will not affect the fair value of the assets as the deposits will be held to maturity. At call funds are subject to market rate movements. During 2013 the term deposit interest rate range was 1.2%. This is compared to the interest rate range in 2012 of 2.07%. The decrease in interest rate range from 2012 to 2013 reflects the movement in the cash rate as determined by the Reserve Bank of Australia. There was a decrease in the cash rate of 50 basis points in 2013 and a total of 201 basis points from November 2011 to December 2013. The interest rate outlook for 2013 is likely to remain in the target range of 2%.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. There has been no significant change in the risk factors from the prior year or management thereof.
The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payables. The main risks that the Group is exposed through financial instruments are deposit interest rate risk and credit risk. Any borrowings are at fixed interest rates and consequently upward risk is minimal.
Foreign exchange risk arises from overseas sources of income for research and consultancies and payments to creditors for overseas sourced supplies. The main currencies the University is exposed to are the US dollar followed by British pounds and the Euro. The level of exposure to foreign exchange risk is not considered to be material. The Group does not engage in hedge contracts or other hedging instruments.
The Group has limited exposure to financial instruments subject to price risk. The parent's investment policy is limited to deposits in Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs). Some of the entities controlled by the Group have exposure to shares. The level of exposure is not considered material.
(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

(b) Credit risk
(c) Liquidity risk
(d) Fair value estimation
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value and based on credit history it is expected that the receivables that are neither past due nor impaired will be received when due.
The movements in result are due to higher/lower interest revenue from variable rate cash balances. Borrowings are at fixed interest rates.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is mainly restricted to receivables. The Group does not have significant exposure to any one debtor. At balance date, all funds were deposited with Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions with Standard and Poor's credit ratings of A-2 or higher and/or Territory Government guaranteed as per the investment policy of the parent entity. The consolidated entity's maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the balance sheet.
There is no significant risk associated with the Group meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Cashflow to meet ongoing commitments is monitored daily. Strict budgeting and forecasting procedures are in place.
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly-traded derivatives) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables is a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to their short-term nature of trade receivables and payables.
At December 2013, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all the other variables held constant, result and equity would have been affected as follows:
