   1. cash and cash equivalents;

   16. provisions;

   18. equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

4. 3 An entity shall present additional line items, headings and subtotals in the statement of financial position when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the entity’s financial position.

---

4. 4 An entity shall present current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications in its statement of financial position in accordance with paragraphs 4.5–4.8, except when a presentation based on liquidity provides information that is reliable and more relevant. When that exception applies, all assets and liabilities shall be presented in order of approximate liquidity (ascending or descending).

---

4. 5 An entity shall classify an asset as current when:
   1. it expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
   2. it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
   3. it expects to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting date; or
   4. the asset is cash or a cash equivalent, unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

4. 6 An entity shall classify all other assets as non-current. When the entity’s normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, its duration is assumed to be twelve months.

---

4. 7 An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
   1. it expects to settle the liability in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
   2. it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
   3. the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
   4. the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after reporting date.

4. 8 An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.

4. 9 This Standard does not prescribe the sequence or format in which items are to be presented. Paragraph 4.2 simply provides a list of items that are sufficiently different in nature or function to warrant separate presentation in the statement of financial position. In addition:
   1. line items are included when the size, nature or function of an item or aggregation of similar items is such that separate presentation is relevant to an understanding of the entity’s financial position; and
   2. the descriptions used and the sequencing of items or aggregation of similar items may be amended according to the nature of the entity and its transactions, to provide information that is relevant to an understanding of the entity’s financial position.

4. 10 The judgement on whether additional items are presented separately is based on an assessment of all of the following:
   1. the amounts, nature and liquidity of assets;
   2. the function of assets within the entity; and
   3. the amounts, nature and timing of liabilities.

---

4. 11 An entity shall disclose, either in the statement of financial position or in the notes, the following subclassifications of the line items presented:
   1. property, plant and equipment in classifications appropriate to the entity;
