B. Measurement of fair values
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring fair values, as well as the significant
assumptions applied.
Standing timber
older than
25 years (the age
at which it
becomes
marketable)
Discounted cash flows: The valuation model
considers the present value of the net cash
flows expected to be generated by the
plantation. The cash flow projections include
specific estimates for [X] years. The expected
net cash flows are discounted using a risk-
adjusted discount rate.

Estimated future timber market prices per
tonne (2022: $12.8–17.9, weighted

weighted average $15.15).
–
Estimated yields per hectare (2022: 6–10,
weighted average 8; 2021: 5–10,

Cost approach and discounted cash flows:
The Group considers both approaches, and
reconciles and weighs the estimates under
each approach based on its assessment of
the judgement that market participants would
apply. The cost approach considers the costs
of creating a comparable plantation, taking
into account the costs of infrastructure,
cultivation and preparation, buying and
planting young trees with an estimate of the
profit that would apply to this activity.
Discounted cash flows consider the present
value of the net cash flows expected to be
generated by the plantation at maturity, the
expected additional biological transformation
and the risks associated with the asset; the
expected net cash flows are discounted using
risk-adjusted discount rates.

Estimated costs of infrastructure per
hectare (2022: $0.8–1.1, weighted
average $0.95; 2021: $0.8–1.2, weight

–
Estimated costs of cultivation and
p
reparation per hectare (2022: $0.2–0.4,
weighted average $0.3; 2021: $0.3–0.4,
weighted average $0.35).

Estimated costs of buying and planti

weighted average $16.6).
–
Estimated yields per hectare (2022: 6–11,
weighted average 8.6; 2021: 7–11,
weighted average 8.9).

Risk-adjusted discount rate (2022: 8.9–
9.9%, weighted average 9.4%; 2021
:
9.3–9.9%, weighted average 9.6%).

Market comparison technique: The fair values
are based on the market price of livestock of
similar age, weight and market values.

here an entity measures its biological assets using the cost model, it discloses:
— a description of each class of its biological assets;
— an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably;
— the depreciation method used;
— the useful lives or the depreciation rates used; and
— the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (aggregated with accumulated impairment losses) at the beginning and end of
the period. (ref. AASB 1060.205)
Note – Significant accounting policies
Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell, with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.
The cost of standing timber transferred from biological assets is its fair value less costs to sell at the date of
harvest.
