1AC10 Appendix C to Section 1A (Applicable for UK entities)
1AC10.1 Disclosure requirements for small entities
1AC10.1.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 1AC.1-1AC.2

 This appendix is an integral part of Section 1A.

This appendix sets out the disclosure requirements for small entities based on the requirements of company law in the UK. These are shown in italic font in the paragraphs below. Other than substituting company law terminology with the equivalent terminology used in FRS 102 (see Appendix III) the drafting is as close as possible to that set out in company law. References to Schedule 1 are to Schedule 1 of the Small Companies Regulations.

When there is a similar disclosure requirement in FRS 102 this has been indicated and those paragraphs of FRS 102 that have been cross-referenced are also highlighted by including an * in the left-hand margin (the * against paragraph 6.3(c) refers to a legal requirement in the Republic of Ireland only). In many cases compliance with the similar requirement of FRS 102 will result in compliance with the requirements below., however a small entity in the UK must ensure it complies with all the disclosure requirements of this appendix.

1AC.1 As a minimum, when relevant to its transactions, other events and conditions, a small entity in the UK shall provide the disclosures set out in this appendix.

1AC.2 The notes must be presented in the order in which, where relevant, the items to which they relate are presented in the statement of financial position and in the income statement. (Schedule 1, paragraph 42(2))

Paragraphs 8.3 and 8.4 address similar requirements.

 1AC10.1.2 OmniPro Comment
 1AC10.1.2.1 Overview

As per section 1AC.1 to 1AC.2 of section 1A of FRS 102 the disclosure requirements for a UK entity applying section 1A and the small companies regime must comply with this Appendix (Appendix C) at a minimum. Further disclosure must be included in order to show a true and fair view. Additional disclosures can be given voluntarily if the entity so wishes. For minimum required disclosures for Republic of Ireland entities see Appendix D of S1A of FRS 102.

1A10.1.2.2 What entities must comply with Appendix C

Appendix C only applies to UK entitIies. Republic of Ireland minimum disclosure requirements are detailed at Appendix D of S1A of FRS 102.

1AC10.2 Accounting policies
 1AC10.2.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 1AC.3-1AC.

1AC.3 The accounting policies adopted by the small entity in determining the amounts to be included in respect of items shown in the statement of financial position and in determining the profit or loss of the small entity must be stated (including such policies with respect to the depreciation and impairment of assets). (Schedule 1, paragraph 44)

Paragraph 8.5 addresses similar requirements for disclosing significant accounting policies. Including information about the judgements made in applying the small entity’s accounting policies, as set out in paragraph 8.6, may be useful to users of the small entity’s financial statements.

 1AC.4   If any amount is included in a small entity’s statement of financial position in respect of development costs, the note on accounting policies must include the following information:

(a) the period over which the amount of those costs originally capitalised is being or is to be written off; and

(b) the reasons for capitalising the development costs in question. (Schedule 1, paragraph 21(2))

Paragraph 18.27(a) addresses similar requirements to paragraph 1AC.4(a).

1AC.5   Where development costs are shown or included as an asset in the small entity’s financial statements and the amount is not treated as a realised loss because there are special circumstances justifying this, a note to the financial statements must state the reasons for showing development costs as an asset and that it is not a realized loss. (Section 844 of the Act) (1AC.6 Where in exceptional cases the useful life of intangible assets cannot be reliably estimated, there must be disclosed in a note to the financial statements the period over which those intangible assets are being written off and the reasons for choosing that period. (Schedule 1, paragraph 22(4))

Intangible assets include goodwill. Paragraphs 18.27(a) and 19.25(g) address similar requirements.

1AC10.2.2.1 Overview

See illustration of the requirements of Section 1AC.3 to 1AC.4 of Appendix C of S1A of FRS 102 below:

1AC10.2.2.1.1 Accounting police disclosure

See extract of examples of accounting policies note

1AC10.2.2.1.1.1 General information

OmniPro Sample Small Company Limited is primarily engaged in the provision of construction services to both the private and commercial sectors. The company’s’ registered office is  Construction Place, Builders Lane, Dunblock, Any City.

The company is a limited liability company incorporated in Any City in the country with a company registration number of XXX.

[This is the first set of financial statements prepared by OmniPro Sample Small Company Limited in accordance with accounting standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”). The company transitioned from previously extant UK and Irish GAAP to FRS 102 as at 1 January 2014.  NOTE THIS IS ONLY INCLUDED IF IT IS THE FIRST YEAR IF NOT THIS DISCLOSURE IS NOT REQUIRED.]

The FRC issued amendments to FRS 102 called ‘Amendments to FRS 102-Small entities the Triennial review’ which can be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with early adoption permitted. The company has adopted these amendments in these financial statements. (DELETE IF NOT APPLICABLE))

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company and applied consistently in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:

1AC10.2.2.1.1.2 Basis of preparation

The below paragraph is not required but encouraged under Appendix D (note is required if not prepared on a going concern)

The Financial Statements are prepared on the going concern basis[1], (NOTE CHANGE THIS HERE IF THE BASIS IS NOT GOING CONCERN AND PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PREPARED ON A GOING CONCERN), under the historical cost convention, [as modified by the revaluation of certain tangible fixed assets] and comply with the financial reporting standards of the Financial Reporting Council including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) [2] as adapted by Section 1A of FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in CU which is the functional currency of the company[3].

1AC10.2.2.1.1.3 Consolidation

DISCLOSURES REQUIRED WHERE CONSOLIDTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT PREPARED

NOTE: THE BELOW IS TO BE INCLUDED WHERE THE PARENT COMPANY IS EXEMPT FROM CONSOLIDATION  DUE TO ITS IMMEDIATE PARENT COMPANY (WHICH IS IN THE EEA) PREPARING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. (NOT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BUT INCLUDED FOR BEST PRACTICE)

Consolidated accounts

The company has not prepared consolidated accounts for the period as, being a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent company, XXXXXX Limited, it is exempted from doing so under Section 9 of FRS 102 which is accommodated under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.

NOTE: THE BELOW IS TO BE INCLUDED WHERE THE PARENT COMPANY IS EXEMPT FROM CONSOLIDATION  DUE TO ITS ULTIMATE PARENT COMPANY (WHICH IS IN OR OUTSIDE THE EEA) PREPARING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. (NOT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BUT INCLUDED FOR BEST PRACTICE)

Consolidated accounts

The company has not prepared consolidated accounts for the period as, being a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent company, XXXXXX Limited, it is exempted from doing so under Section 9 of FRS 102 which is accommodated under Section 401 of the Companies Act 2006.


[1] CA does not require disclosure however Appendix E of Section 1A of FRS 102 encourages an entity to disclose the fact that the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. As this is encouraged we have included it in these financial statements. Where the entity has made a decision to wind up the entity that is required to be disclosed, there is no choice.

[2] Appendix 1AE.1 of FRS 102 encourages a statement of compliance to be included in the notes to the financial statements in order to show a true and fair view also.

Where the entity has made a decision to wind up the entity that is required to be disclosed, there is no choice.

Where there is uncertainties about going concern CA 2006 requires this to be disclosed. Appendix E of Section 1A of FRS 102 also encourages this in order to show a true and fair view.

[3] Not required by the CA or FRS 102 for small companies however it would be considered good practice.

NOTE: THE BELOW IS TO BE INCLUDED WHERE THE PARENT COMPANY IS EXEMPT FROM CONSOLIDATION DUE TO THE GROUP BEING CONSIDERED A SMALL COMPANY UNDER COMPANY LAW. (NOT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BUT INCLUDED FOR BEST PRACTICE)

Consolidation

The company and its subsidiaries combined meet the size exemption criteria for a group and the company is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of Section 479 of the Companies Act 2006. Consequently, these financial statements deal with the results of the company as a single entity.

NOTE: BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION DISCLOSURES REQUIRED WHERE CONSOLIDTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE PREPARED.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.4 Basis of consolidation (if applicable)

The Group financial statements reflect the consolidation of the results, assets and liabilities of the parent undertaking, the Company and all of its subsidiaries, together with the Group’s share of profits/losses of associates and joint ventures. Where a subsidiary, associate or joint venture is acquired or disposed of during the financial year, the Group financial statements include the attributable results from, or to, the effective date when control passes, or, in the case of associates, when significant influence is lost.

1AC10.2.1.1.4.1 Subsidiary undertakings

Subsidiaries are all 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 acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are capitalised with the cost of the investment. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition by acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fairvalue of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised as negative goodwill on the balance sheet and amortised through the profit and loss account in the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.4.2 Associates and joint ventures

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence over, but not control of, the financial and operating policies. Joint ventures are those entities over which the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic, financial and operating decisions. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of its associates and joint ventures is recognised in the income statement. The income statement reflects, in profit before tax, the Group’s share of profit after tax of its associates and joint ventures in accordance with Section 14 of FRS102, ‘Investments in Associates’ and Section 15 of FRS 102, ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’. The Group’s interest in their net assets is included as investments in associates and joint ventures in the Group Statement of Financial Position at an amount representing the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets at acquisition plus the Group’s share of post acquisition retained income and expenses. The Group’s investment in associates and joint ventures includes goodwill on acquisition. The amounts included in the financial statements in respect of the post acquisition income and expenses of associates and joint ventures are taken from their latest financial statements prepared up to their respective year ends together with management accounts for the intervening periods to the Group’s year end (if applicable). The fair value of any investment retained in a former subsidiary is regarded as a cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture. Where necessary, the accounting policies of associates and joint ventures have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.4.3 Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra- group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Group financial statements. Unrealised gains and income and expenses arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that they do not provide evidence of impairment.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.5 Business combinations and goodwill [if applicable]

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In respect of acquisitions that have occurred since XXXXX (INSERT DATE OF TRANSITION WHERE SECTION 35.10(A) EXEMPTION IS CLAIMED), goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. In respect of acquisitions prior to this date, goodwill is included on the basis of its deemed cost, i.e. original cost less accumulated amortisation from the date of acquisition up to XXXXX, which represents the amount recorded under UK and Irish GAAP. Goodwill is now stated at cost or deemed cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. In respect of associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.6 Goodwill

Positive goodwill acquired on each business combination is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life of x years. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each cash generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If an investment is disposed of any unamortised goodwill is subsumed within goodwill in the profit and loss on sale on discontinuance. Useful life is determined by reference to the period over which the values of the underlying businesses are expected to exceed the values of their identifiable net assets.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Negative goodwill represents the fair value of net assets on acquisition in excess of the fair value of consideration. Negative goodwill is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account in the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered. In the case of fixed assets acquired, this is the period over which they are depreciated and in the case of stocks it is the period over which they are sold or otherwise realised.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.7 Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s/Company’s assets, other than inventories (which are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value), deferred tax assets (which are recognised based on recoverability), investment properties (which are carried at fair value), and those financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication of impairment when an event or transaction indicates that there may be. If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is defined as the present value of the future pre-tax and interest cash flows obtainable as a result of the asset’s continued use. The pre-tax and interest cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk free rate and the risks inherent in the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation.  Thereafter any excess is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss, other than in the case of goodwill, is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.8 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are initially recognised at fair value being their deemed cost as at the date of acquisition. These generally include brand and customer related intangible assets. Computer software that is not an integral part of an item of computer hardware is also classified as an intangible asset. Where intangible assets are separately acquired, they are capitalised at cost. Cost comprises purchase price and other directly attributable costs.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the period of their expected useful lives in equal annual instalments, as follows;

Brands 5 to 10 years

Customer related                        5 to 20 years

Supplier agreements                   4 to 10 years

Computer related                        3 to 7 years

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses incurred.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text 3″ _builder_version=”3.17.6″]

1AC10.2.2.1.1.9 Contingent acquisition consideration

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with Section 21. Any adjustments to the estimated contingent consideration are accounted for as an adjustment to goodwill as a current period adjustment as it reflects a change in estimate and the adjusted goodwill is amortised from that date. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. To the extent that contingent acquisition consideration is payable after more than one year from the date of acquisition, it is discounted at an appropriate loan interest rate and, accordingly, carried at net present value on the Balance Sheet. An appropriate interest charge, at a constant rate on the carrying amount adjusted to reflect market conditions, is reflected in the Profit and Loss over the earnout period, increasing the carrying amount so that the obligation will reflect its settlement at the time of maturity.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.10 Financial assets

Financial assets in subsidiaries and other financial fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any diminution in value.

AND/OR

The company has adopted a policy of measuring investments in financial assets which can be reliably measured at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in the profit and loss.

AND/OR

Financial assets which can be reliably measured are measured at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and the revaluation reserve.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11 General turnover accounting policy notes
1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.1 Turnover

Turnover represents net sales to customers and excludes trade discounts and Value Added Tax.

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on dispatch of the goods. Turnover from the provision of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. The company uses the percentage of completion method based on the actual service performed as a percentage of the total services to be provided.

Revenue in relation to maintenance and support is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the contract with any unearned revenue included in deferred revenue.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.2 Turnover accounting policy for an insurance broker Turnover – commission income

Turnover represents commissions earned in the period together with overrider and profit commissions receivable. Commission income is recognised in the accounting period in which the policy commences. To the extent that future services need to be provided over the life of the policy which straddles an accounting period, revenue is deferred. Commission income in relation to claims handling is recognised in the accounting period in which the claims are settled. Overrider and profit commissions, if any, are recognised in line with the underlying agreements and amounts confirmed by product providers.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.3  Turnover accounting policy for a manufacturng company that produces, install and also engage in long term contracts using the stage of completion using the contract activity

Turnover

Turnover, excluding value added tax, represents the income received and receivable from third parties, in the ordinary course of business, for goods and services provided. Any discounts given to customers are deducted from turnover.

Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when the goods are dispatched to the customer. Revenue from the servicing of machines is recognised over the period of the performance of the service. Proceeds received in advance of product dispatch or performance of service are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet.

Revenue from the sale of machines and manufactured steel components is recognised over the period of the design, build and installation contract. Where the outcome of a long-term contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date. This is normally measured by surveys of work performed to date. Variations in contract work are included to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured.

When the outcome of a long-term contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred and that it is probable it will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.4 Turnover accounting policy note where turnover is derived from investments

Turnover

Turnover represents dividends and other income received on investments held, net of irrecoverable withholding taxes. Dividends are recognised in the period to which the dividends relate.

Turnover,  which  excludes  value  added  tax,  represents  the  invoiced  value  of  goods  and services supplied and the value of long term contract work done, as outlined below.

The company usually sells its software as part of an overall solution offered to a customer, in which significant customisation and modification to the company’s software generally is required. As a result, revenue generally is recognised over the course of these long term projects.

Initial license fee for software revenue is recognised as work is performed, under the percentage of completion method of accounting.  Subsequent license fee revenue is recognised upon completion of   the specified conditions in each contract. Service revenue that involves significant ongoing obligations, including fees for customisation, implementation and modification, is recognised as work is performed, under the percentage of completion method of accounting.

Software revenue that does not require significant customisation and modification, is recognised upon delivery and installation. In managed service contracts, revenue from operation and maintenance of customers’ billing systems is recognised in the period in which the bills are produced. Revenue from ongoing support is recognised as work is performed. Revenue from third–party hardware and software sales is recognised upon delivery and installation, and recorded at gross or net amount according to whether the company acts as a Principal or as an Agent. Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most cases is one year or less. Losses are recognised on contracts in the period in which the liability is identified.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.6 Turnover accounting policy for a construction company

Turnover – contracting work

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date.  This is normally measured by reference to the proportion of costs incurred up to the date of the balance sheet to the estimated total costs. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred and that it is probable it will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.11.7 Accounting policy where agreement exists for construction of real estate where recognised only when risk and reward transfer as opposed to using percentage completion 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable. Revenue represents the value of goods and services supplied to customers net of value added tax and trade discounts. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Revenue on housing developments

Revenue on housing developments and the respective profits are recognised when the property is structurally complete and legally transferred to the purchaser.

Stock

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value in respect of inventory property is assessed with reference to market prices at the reporting date, less estimate costs to complete including overheads and selling costs.

Building land and roads are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable less an appropriate proportion relating to plots sold in the case of estimates of estates in the course of developments.

The company assess at each balance sheet date whether the building land and roads is impaired in accordance with Section 13 and 27 of FRS 102. If an impairment has occurred, then the write down is recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account.

Work in progress – The cost of uncompleted and unsold new properties comprises direct labour and material costs. No profits are taken until houses are conveyed on legal completion to third parties.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.12 Government grants
1AC10.2.2.1.1.12.1 Accruals model

Example using an accruals model

Government grants are recognised at their fair value when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and all related conditions will be met.

Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the profit and loss account over the related asset’s useful (i.e. an accruals basis). Revenue grants are credited to the profit and loss account when receivable so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate. Government grants received are included in ‘other income’ in profit or loss 

1AC10.2.2.1.1.12.2 Performance model
Example using the performance model

Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received, and all related conditions will be met.

Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the profit and loss account once the performance conditions of the grant have been met. Revenue grants are credited to the profit and loss account when the performance conditions for the grant are fulfilled.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.13 Dividend income

Dividend income from subsidiaries is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.14 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company’s shareholders.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.15 Currency
(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in stg/euro, which is the company’s functional and presentation currency and is denoted by the symbol “CU”. OR The company has chosen to present the financial statement in a currency that differs from its functional currency so that it can be easily consolidated into the parent company’s financial statements.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the profit and loss account within ‘finance (expense)/income’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the profit and loss account within ‘Other operating (losses)/gains’.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16 Financial instruments

The company has adopted Section 11 and Section 12 of FRS 102 when accounting for financial instruments.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.1 Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors (including amounts owed to group companies if applicable) are recognised initially at transaction price (including transaction costs) unless a financing arrangement in exists in which case they are measured at the present value of future receipts discounted at a market rate. Subsequently these are measured at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. 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. All movements in the level of the provision required are recognised in the profit and loss.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.2 Cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and other short- term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of  financial position.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.3 Other financial assets.

Other financial assets include investment which are not investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. Investments are initially measured at fair value which usually equates to the transaction price and subsequently at fair value where investments are listed on an active market or where non listed investments can be reliably measured. Movements in fair value is measured in the profit and loss.

Where fair value cannot be measured reliably or can no longer be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.

[The entity has taken advantage of the exemption contained in Section 35.10(u) not to comply with the fair value measurement requirements of Section 11-Basic Finance Instruments and Section 12-Other Financial Instruments Issues on the date of transition to FRS 102 of 1 January 2014 or in the comparative financial period presented. Instead the entity has continued to apply the accounting policy requirements for these financial instruments under old UK GAAP. A transition adjustment has been posted to equity on 1 January 2015 so as to comply with the requirements of Section 11 and Section 12 for the current financial year as required by Section 35.10(u). As a result of availing of this exemption, listed investment have been carried at cost less impairment in the comparative financial period presented and any forward exchange contracts are disclosed as required under old UK GAAP accounting rules. (IF APPLICABLE)]

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text 4″ _builder_version=”3.17.6″]

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.4 Trade and other creditors. 

Trade and other creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within   one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors, other creditors and amounts due to group companies are recognised initially at the transaction price net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where a financing arrangement exists they   are initially measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a reduced rate.

[The entity has elected to adopt the exemption contained in Section 35.10(v) and to apply the rules detailed in Section 11 to debt instruments with related parties where a financing arrangement existed on the 1 January 2015 as opposed to the date of transition on 1 January 2014. As a result, a transition adjustment was posted to recognise the loans due to/from related parties at the present value of the minimum future payments and amortised cost utilising the prevailing market rate on the 1 January 2015 as permitted by Section 35.10(v)(c). For the comparative year presented these balances are carried at the amount recognised under old UK GAAP that being the amounts received/advanced less repayments. (IF APPLICABLE)]As permitted by the amendment made to FRS 102 Section 11 for small entities by the FRC on 8 May 2017 amounts due from directors and shareholders of the entity are stated initially at the transaction price and subsequently at transaction price less repayments. The amortised cost model is not used. [1]

1AC10.10.2.2.1.1.16.5 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at the transaction price (present value of cash payable to the bank, including transaction costs). Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in finance costs. OR

Borrowing costs – capitalisation rate

The company has adopted a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs. The company capitalises general borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition of the qualifying asset. The capitalisation rate used is a weighted average of the rates applicable to the company’s general borrowings that are outstanding during the period. Given that weighted averages are utilised this results in a level of estimation. In determining the capitalisation rate the company excludes any specific borrowings related to obtaining non-qualifying assets.

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as borrowings.


[1] Small entities as an exemption to para 11.13 of FRS 102 may measure a basic financial liability that is a loan from a director who is a natural person and a shareholder in the entity or a connected person initially at transaction price (i.e. The same way it was accounted for under old Irish GAAP/FRSSE.) The amendment was made by the FRC as a transitional measure on 8 May 2017 and it is effective immediately. If in the prior year (i.e, if accounts prepared under frs102 in prior period) the present value technique was used and the client now wants to revert back to the transaction price policy, a prior year adjustment is required in line with a change in accounting policy detailed in Section 10.13 of FRS 102. Note this exemption does not apply to inter companies.


The dividends on these preference shares are recognised in the profit and loss as a finance cost.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.6 Derecognition

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that being when the contractual obligation is discharged.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.16.7 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.17 Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the company comprise of convertible preference shares which can be converted to a set amount of ordinary shares at a future date. The liability component of the compound instrument is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability where the conversion to equity option is not available. Subsequently this is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The equity component is measured the difference between the fair value of the liability component and the fair value of the instrument as a whole. The equity component is not re-measured. Transaction costs are apportioned to the equity and liability component as   a proportion that each type instrument is to the total fair value of the compound instrument.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.18 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognised in the profit and loss within finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless they are included in a hedging arrangement.

Derivative financial instruments are not basic. Hedge accounting is not applied.

OR WHERE HEDGE ACCOUNTING IS APPLIED

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk through the use of forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps.   These derivatives are generally designated as cash flow   hedges in accordance with Section 12. The Group does not enter into speculative derivative transactions.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.19 Hedge accounting

Cash flow hedges

Subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, relating to the documentation of the risk, objectives and strategy for the hedging transaction and the ongoing measurement of its effectiveness, cash flow hedges are accounted for under hedge accounting rules. In such cases, any unrealised gain or loss arising on the effective portion of the derivative instrument is recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve, a separate component of equity and posted to other comprehensive income. Unrealised gains or losses on any ineffective portion of the derivative are recognised in the income statement. When the hedged transaction occurs the related gains or losses in the hedging reserve are transferred to the Income Statement.

The company engages in hedge accounting for forward contracts in order to manage foreign currency fluctuations as well as interest rate swaps.

Changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges which meet the conditions for hedge accounting are recognised in directly equity through other comprehensive income to the extent that they are effective. Any ineffectiveness is charged to the profit and loss. Any gain or loss recognised in Other Comprehensive Income is transferred from equity to the profit and loss when the hedge relationship ends.

Cash flow hedges are those of highly probable forecasted future income or expenses. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument and document the causes of hedge ineffectiveness.

There is no significant difference between the timing of the cash flows and income statement effect of cash flow hedges.

Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the profit and loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to the profit and loss.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.20 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company 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 of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

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 the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

The extent a legal or constructive obligation exists, the acquisition costs include the present value of estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site. A change in estimated expenditures for dismantling, removal and restoration is added to/and or deducted from carrying value of the related asset. To the extent the change results in a negative carrying amount, the difference is recognised in the profit and loss. The change in depreciation is recognised prospectively.

OR WHERE REMEDIATION PROVISIONS ARE REQUIRED INCLUDE THE BELOW:

 1AC10.2.2.1.1.20.1 Environmental liabilities

Liabilities for environmental costs are recognised when environmental assessments determine clean-ups are probable and the associated costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally the timing of these provisions coincides with the commitment to a formal plan of action or, if earlier, on divestment or on closure of active sites. The amount recognised at the balance sheet date is the latest best estimate of the expenditure required.

Discounted liabilities in respect of environmental liabilities and closures costs have been classified between amounts due within one year and due after one year. Provisions for long term obligations are discounted at a rate of X%.

OR WHERE CLOSURE COSTS INCLUDE THE BELOW

 1AC10.2.2.1.1.20.2 Closure costs

All costs associated with the decision to cease trading have been recognised in these financial statements. These include a write down of assets, provisions for expected closure costs together with profit and losses expected to be incurred up to date of cessation of trading.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.21 Contingencies

Contingent liabilities, arising as a result of past events, are not recognised when (i) it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or (ii) when the existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non- occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the company’s control. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.22 Employee Benefits

The company provides a range of benefits to employees, including annual bonus arrangements, paid holiday arrangements and defined contribution pension plans.

(a) Short term benefits

Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.

(b) Annual bonus plans

The company recognises a provision and an expense for bonuses where the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and a reliable estimate can be made.

(c) Defined contribution pension plans

The Company operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate fund. Under defined contribution plans, the company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

For defined contribution plans, the company pays contributions to privately administered pension plans on a contractual or voluntary basis. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(d) Defined benefit pension plan

Defined benefit pension scheme assets are measured at fair value. Defined benefit pension scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method. The excess of scheme liabilities over scheme assets is presented on the balance sheet as an asset or liability. Deferred tax is shown separately within deferred tax. The defined benefit pension charge to operating profit comprises the current service cost, past service costs, introductions, curtailments and settlements. The net interest cost on the scheme liabilities is presented in the profit and loss account as other finance expense. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions and from experience surpluses and deficits are recognised in other comprehensive income for the year in which they occur together with the return on plan assets, less amounts included in net interest.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text 5″ _builder_version=”3.17.6″]

1AC10.2.2.1.1.23 Preference share capital

Redeemable preference shares and the cumulative preference dividend reserve have been classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. The preference dividend is charged in arriving at the interest cost in the profit and loss account. (include the following where applicable) However no dividends will be paid on the cumulative preference shares until the company has positive profit and loss reserves. 

1AC10.2.2.1.1.24 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.25 Related party transactions

The company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned with the same group. It does not disclose transactions with members of the same group that are wholly owned.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.26 Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.27 Taxation 

Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

(e) Current tax

Current tax is calculated on the profits of the period. Current tax is determined using   tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

(f) Deferred tax

Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements.

Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the  related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the profit and loss account or other comprehensive income depending on where the revaluation was initially posted.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

NOTE:  INCLUDE THE BELOW IF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE BEING PREPARED

If a temporary difference arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect accounting or taxable profit or loss, no deferred tax is recognised. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.28 Tangible fixed assets

Cost

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at historical cost or deemed cost (note include valuation here where appropriate), less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes prime cost, overheads and interest incurred in financing the construction of tangible fixed assets. Capitalisation of interest ceases when the asset is brought into use.

Freehold premises are stated at cost (or deemed cost for freehold premises held at valuation at the date of transition to FRS 102 where the optional transition exemption under S.35.10(a) of FRS 102 has been applied) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The company previously adopted a policy of revaluing freehold premises and they were stated at their revalued amount less any subsequent depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The company has adopted the transition exemption under FRS 102 paragraph 35.10(d) and has elected to use the previous revaluation as deemed cost OR The company has adopted the transition exemption under FRS 102 paragraph 35.10(C) and has elected to use the fair value as deemed cost. (THIS PARAGRAPH IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR THE TRANSITION YEAR)

The difference between depreciation based on the deemed cost charged in the profit and loss account and the asset’s original cost is transferred from the non-distributable reserve to retained earnings through equity.

Equipment and fixtures and fittings are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Where investment property can no longer be reliably measured without undue cost or effort these assets are reclassified to property, plant and equipment at the carrying amount prior to the transfer and depreciated over the useful economic lives.

Spare parts that are acquired as part of an equipment purchase which are only to be used in connection with these specific assets are initially capitalised and amortised as part of the equipment. Spare parts which are expected to be used during more than one period are capitalised as property, plant and equipment.

NOTE:  Policy to be included where a policy of revaluation has been chosen:

The company has adopted a policy of revaluing freehold premises. Freehold premises are included in the balance sheet at their fair value on the basis of a periodic professional valuation less accumulated depreciation. The difference between depreciation based on the revalued amount is charged in the profit and loss account and the asset’s original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings. Annually the carrying values are reviewed for appropriateness by the directors. Any changes in the value of freehold properties are reflected as a movement on the revaluation reserve except where the revaluation is below original cost in which case the balance is recognised in the profit and loss account.

To the extent a legal or constructive obligation exists, the acquisition costs include the present value of estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site.   A change in estimated expenditures for dismantling, removal and restoration is added to/and or deducted from carrying value of the related asset. To the extent the change results in a negative carrying amount, the difference is recognised in the profit and loss. The change in depreciation is recognised prospectively.

   Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets, on a straight-line basis, so as to write off their cost less residual amounts over their useful lives.

The estimated useful lives assigned to property, plant and equipment are as follows: Freehold Premises                                                              2% straight line on cost

Motor vehicles                                                      25% straight line on cost

Office equipment, fixtures & fittings                        12½% straight line on cost

Computer equipment                                             25%/33⅓% straight line on cost

Service equipment and spare parts                        10% straight line on cost

The company’s policy is to review the remaining useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment on an on-going basis and where indicators exist adjust the depreciation charge to reflect the remaining estimated life and residual value.

Fully depreciated property, plant & equipment are retained in the cost of property, plant & equipment and related accumulated depreciation until they are removed from service. In the case of disposals, assets and related depreciation are removed from the financial statements and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to the income statement.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.29 Stocks

Stocks comprise consumable items and goods held for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated on a first in, first out basis and includes invoice price, import duties and transportation costs. Net realisable value comprises the actual or estimated selling price less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

At the end of each reporting period inventories are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified inventory is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss account. Where a reversal of the impairment is recognised the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the profit and loss account.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.30 Investment properties

The group/company owns a number of freehold office buildings that are held to earn long term rental income and for capital appreciation (adjust as necessary). Investment properties are initially recognised at cost. Investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.31 Leases
1AC10.2.2.1.1.31.1 Finance leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred by the lessor are classified as finance leases.

Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The capital element of the lease obligation is recorded as a liability and the interest element of the finance lease rentals is charged to the profit and loss account on an annuity basis.

Each lease payment is apportioned between the liability and finance charges using the effective interest method.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.31.2 Operating leases

Leases in which substantially all 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 profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.31.3 Lease incentives

Incentives received to enter into a finance lease reduce the fair value of the asset and are included in the calculation of present value of future minimum lease payments.

Incentives received to enter into an operating lease are credited to the profit and loss account, to reduce the lease expense, on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.32 Leasing company accounting policy

NOTE: EXTRACT FOR A LEASING COMPANY

Gross earnings

Gross earnings comprises the finance charge element of lease rentals, the profit or loss generated on the termination of lease agreements and administration fees pertaining to lease agreements. Gross earnings are stated net of trade rebates and trade discounts, and exclusive of value added tax. 

Finance lease and hire purchase agreements

Finance charges are allocated to periods so as to give a constant rate of return on the net cash investment in the lease. The total net investment included in the balance sheet represents total lease payments receivable, net of finance charges relating to future periods. Bad debts are charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which they occur. Recoveries of bad debts previously charged to the profit and loss account are credited to the profit and loss account upon recovery of the bad debt. The net investment in finance lease and hire purchase agreements is stated net of a bad and doubtful debt provision.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.33 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalised at cost. Intangible assets acquired as part of an acquisition of a business are capitalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial recognition. Intangibles assets as part of an acquisition are not recognised where they arise from legal or other contractual rights, and where there is no history of exchange transactions. Intangible assets excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and instead expenditure is charged against profit in the year.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairments.

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimate useful lives is included within administration expenses in the profit and loss. The useful economic life is determined to be the life over which economic benefits are utilised. The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The useful economic lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Development Costs                                                              5 Years Straight Line

Patents                                                                                10 Years Straight Line

Customer Lists                                                                     7 Years Straight Line

The company’s policy is to review the remaining economic lives and residual values of intangible assets on an on-going basis and to adjust the amortisation charge to reflect the remaining estimated life where applicable and residual value where indicators of a change are present.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.34 Goodwill 

Intangible assets comprises purchased goodwill which represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for the acquisition of a XXXX business, over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is amortised to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over its useful economic life. The estimated useful economic lives of goodwill is up to XX years. Useful life is determined by reference to the period over which the values of the underlying business are expected to exceed the value of their identifiable net assets.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.35 Exceptional items

Exceptional items are those that the Directors’ view are required to be separately disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence to enable a full understanding of the Company’s’ financial performance. The Company believe that this presentation provides a more informative analysis as it highlights one off items. Such items may include significant restructuring costs. The Group/Company has adopted an income statement format that seeks to highlight significant items within the Group/Company results for the year.

OR THE BELOW CAN BE USED

The Group/Company has adopted an income statement format that seeks to highlight significant items within the Group results for the year. Such items may include restructuring, impairment of assets, profit or loss on disposal or termination of operations, litigation settlements, legislative changes and profit or loss on disposal of investments. Judgement is used by the Group/Company in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their scale and nature, should be disclosed in the income statement and notes as exceptional items.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.36 Share based costs

The company participates in a number of equity-settled, share based compensation plans operated by its parent company, XXXXX Limited. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options or shares is recognised as an expense. The parent undertaking does not immediately recharge the company for these expenses so they are shown as a capital contribution from the parent undertaking within other reserves. Where any subsequent recharge is not, in the opinion of the directors, clearly linked to the share based payment charge, the amount is treated in a manner similar to a management recharge.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options, shares or Restricted Stock Units (RSU’s) granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).  Non-market vesting conditions   are included in assumptions about the number of options or shares that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revised its estimates of the number of options of shares that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Fair value of options is measured using the Black Scholes model.

 1AC10.2.2.1.1.37 Investment properties

The group owns a number of freehold office buildings that are held to earn long term rental income and for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost. Investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.

For investment properties which cannot be reliably measured without undue cost or effort these are included within property, plant and equipment and depreciated.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.38 Biological assets (where fair value is used)

The acquisition of land for forest projects is originally recorded at cost in accordance with Section 17 of FRS 102. Biological assets are stated at fair value, less estimated point of sale costs at each period end. The fair value is determined using the present value of expected net cash flows from the asset, discounted at a current market rate other than for young seedling stands. The fair value of the young seedling stands is the actual reforestation cost of those stands.

The gain or loss in fair value of these biological assets is reported in net profit. The measurement of biological growth in the field is an important element of this valuation. Initially at the start of the plantation cycle the fair value is equal to the standard costs of preparing and maintaining a plantation, including the appropriate cost of capital, assuming efficient operations. Towards the end of the plantation cycle the fair value depends solely on the discounted value of the expected harvest, less estimated point of sale costs. The calculation takes into account the growth potential, environmental restrictions and other reservations of the forests. Felling revenues and maintenance costs are calculated on the basis of actual costs and prices, taking into account the company’s projection of future price development.

Periodic changes resulting from growth, felling, prices, discount rate, costs and other premise changes are included in operating profit in the profit and loss account.

1AC10.2.2.1.1.39 Biological assets – Livestock (where fair value model is adopted)

Livestock are measured at their fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of livestock is determined based on market prices of livestock of similar age, breed, and genetic merit. Changes in the fair value are recognised within cost of sales in the profit and loss. 

1AC10.2.2.1.1.40 Biological assets – Forestry (where cost model is adopted) 

The acquisition of land for forest projects is originally recorded at cost in accordance with Section 17 of FRS 102. Biological assets are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. This represents the costs less any accumulated depletion and any accumulated impairment losses. The company capitalises the cost associate with establishing and maintaining its forest plantations. Direct costs are capitalised on the basis of specific operations carried out. Indirect costs are capitalised by reference to the proportion of the direct costs capitalised for which the individual management team has responsibility.

Depletion represents the costs of forests clearfelled during the year, calculated as the proportion that the area harvested bears to the total area of similar forests. The depletion amount is charged to the profit and loss account and is based on cost which includes establishment costs and allocation of maintenance costs capitalised since that date. 

1AC10.2.2.1.1.41 Biological assets – Livestock (where cost model is adopted)

Livestock are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The purchase price of livestock bought in is measured at the purchase price plus directly attributable purchase costs. Own reared stock is measured at cost based on the selling price of the livestock less an appropriate margin based on industry norms to bring the value back to the estimated cost price

1AC10.3 Changes in presentation and accounting policies and corrections of prior period errors
1AC10.3.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 1AC.7-1AC.9 

1AC.7  Where there is a change in the presentation of a small entity’s statement of financial position  or income statement, particulars of any such change must be given in a note to the financial statements in which the new presentation is first used, and the reasons for the change must be explained. (Schedule 1, paragraph 2(2)) 

Paragraphs 3.12 and 3.13 address similar requirements. 

1AC.8 Where the corresponding amount for the immediately preceding reporting period is not comparable with the amount to be shown for the item in question in respect of the reporting period, and the corresponding amount is adjusted, the particulars of the non-comparability and of any adjustment must be disclosed in a note to the financial statements. (Schedule 1, paragraph 7(2)) 

This is likely to be relevant where there has either been a change in accounting policy or the correction of a material prior period error. Paragraphs 10.13, 10.14 and 10.23 address similar requirements. 

1AC.9 Where any amount relating to a preceding reporting period is included in any item in the income statement, the effect must be stated. (Schedule 1, paragraph 61(1))

1AC10.3.2.1 Analysis

See application of Section 1AC.7 to 1AC.9 of Appendix C of Section 1A of FRS 102

Prior year adjustments have been discussed in detail in Section 10.9.2 and 10.8.2 .Refer to section 10 for further details. The example below illustrates the requirements and assumes the statement of income and retained earnings is included as it would be required to show a true and fair view.


Example 3:  Prior period error

During the 31 December 2015 year end, Company A noticed that the prior year financial statements omitted stock of CU100,000 which was material to the financial statements. Stock   in the same location was also omitted at year ended 31 December 2013. The inventory in this location at that time was CU95,000. Given the materiality, this error requires a prior year adjustment. Assume a corporation tax rate of 10%. The adjustments required to correct this error are:

In the 31 December 2014 accounts to restate the opening balance

Being journal to reflect adjustment in respect of prior years’ including the additional tax payable

1AC10.3.2.2. Prior period adjustment disclosure

See below an example of how this should be disclosed so as to meet the disclosure requirements

Prior year adjustment

Prior year adjustment – material error

The prior year adjustment is due to the omission of inventory located in an outside warehouse being excluded from the inventory at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013. The value of the inventory at 31 December 2014 was CU100,000 and the value of the inventory at 31 December 2013 was CU95,000. The financial statements for 2014 has been restated to correct this error.

The prior year adjustment resulted in an increase to the inventory balance at 31 December 2013 and 2014 of CU95,000 and CU100,000 respectively. This has resulted in the cost of sales for 31 December 2014 year end decreasing by CU5,000 and the profit and loss reserves increasing by CU85,500 being the net of tax adjustment and the tax charge for 2014 increasing by CU500. The effect of the restatement on each financial statement line item affected is shown below.

1AC10.3.2.2.4.1 Example extract of a change in accounting policy disclosure

See below the disclosure requirements in section 1AC.9 of Appendix C of FRS 102 for a change in accounting policy – note this would be included in the accounting policy section of the financial statements.

Previously the company applied FRS 102 as its accounting framework but did not apply the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” effective 1 January 2015. As a result of adopting the Charities SORP (FRS 102) in the current period a change in accounting policy was required so as to ensure compliance with the Charities SORP FRS 102.

Under FRS 102 the company adopted an accounting policy to recognise all grants on an accruals basis as opposed to on a performance basis. However, under the FRS 102 Charities SORP all grants including capital grants should be recognised as income in the SOFA on a performance basis (i.e. when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably). Given that the Charities SORP (FRS 102) represents best practice for all charities as it seeks to provide information relevant to the understanding of the directors and the performance and financial position of the Charity the directors believe the change in accounting policy is required.

As a result of the change in accounting policy from the accruals basis to the performance basis it has resulted in:

The impact of applying the performance model as opposed to the accruals model for the current year is that:

Below is the analysis of the adjustments to the SOFA and the balance sheet in the comparative year:

1AC10.4 rue and fair override
1AC10.4.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 1AC.10

1AC.10 If it appears to the small entity that there are special reasons for departing from any of the principles set out in company law in preparing the small entity’s financial statements in respect of any reporting period, it may do so, in which case particulars of the departure, the reasons for it, and its effects must be given in the notes to the financial statements. (Schedule 1, paragraph 10(2))

1AC10.4.2.1 Analysis

Section 1AC.10 of Appendix C of section 1A of FRS 102 requires disclosures of the impact where a true and fair view over side is involved. See below for a true and fair override example. An entity is required to give details of the override, how it is accounted for, the financial effect of what the accounts would have been shown at had the override not been invoked.

True and fair view override example (note merely for illustration purposes – this would not be applicable in practice)

(vii) Basis of preparation

The Financial Statements are prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, [as modified by the revaluation of certain tangible fixed assets] and comply with the financial reporting standards of the Financial Reporting Council [and promulgated by Chartered Accountants Ireland] as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” effective 1 January 2015 and the Companies Act except for the entity invoking the true and fair view override with regard to the profit and loss and balance sheet formats in Schedule 3 of the Companies Act 2014 as permitted in Section X of FRS 102 and Section XXX of the Companies Act.

In order for the financial statements to show a true and fair view the directors have determined the profit and loss formats as required by Schedule 3 of Companies Act 2014 be adapted to present results in accordance with the formats provided by Charities SORP (FRS 102) which details the income and expenditure by nature. Given that the company is a company limited by guarantee, the capital and reserves section of the balance sheet has been adapted accordingly to reflect this fact. The directors consider that the layout adopted more correctly reflects the nature of the entity given that the entity is a not-for-profit organisation which is limited by guarantee. To use the formats set out in Schedule 3 of Companies Act and Section 4 and 5 of FRS 102 would not result in the financial statements showing information that would provide information relevant to the understanding of the directors and the performance and financial position of the Charity.

The other investment relates to an investment made by the company in an unlisted entity where less than a significant influence is held. The fair value of this investment cannot be reliably measured in line with the hierarchy in Section 11 of FRS 102, as a result it is held at cost.

See below illustration of the requirements of section 1AC.20 to 1AC.21 of Appendix C of S1A of FRS 102:

Extract from the notes to the financial statements – impairments

Note 1: The directors have reviewed the carrying value of tangible fixed assets, net of associated deferred grants, at the year end in accordance with Section 27 “Impairment of Assets”. As a result of this exercise performed, a reversal of a previous impairment loss of CU8,000 (2014: CUNil) has been credited to the profit and loss account for the year. The reversal of the impairment of CU8,000 represents a reversal of an impairment of tangible fixed assets net of a release of related deferred grants of CU500. The reversal of the impairment loss previously recognised has been allocated to fixed assets categories on a pro-rata basis relative to their post-impairment carrying values at the date of the reversal. The amount of impairment reversed was limited to the amount the fixed assets would have been carried at if no impairment had previously been booked.

The company’s activities were considered, due to their nature, to form one income-generating unit for the purposes of the impairment review. A pre-tax discount rate of 6%, representing the estimated market rate of return on an investment with equal risk, was applied to the expected future cash flows in the value in use calculation. Value in use was considered to exceed estimated net realisable value. Cash flows have been projected over five years based on management forecasts and budgets. After that a steady growth rate of 1% has been assumed. The reversal of the impairment arose due to the fact that the market in which the company operates has significantly improved and the previous estimates included in the initial impairment review were too pessimistic.


1AC10.8 Fair value measurement 
1AC10.8.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 1AC.22-Section 1AC.24 and section 1AC.26

1AC.22 Where financial instruments or other assets have been measured in accordance with the fair value accounting rules there must be stated:

(a) the significant assumptions underlying the valuation models and techniques used to determine the fair values;

(b) or each category of financial instrument or other asset, the fair value of the assets in that category and the change in value:

This does not apply where financial instruments or other assets are measured at fair value only on initial recognition. 

This applies where financial instruments, certain inventories, investment property and  biological assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, which is permitted or required  by paragraphs 9.26(c), 11.14(b), 11.14(d)(i), 12.8, 13.4A, 14.4(d)(iii), 11.14(d)(iv), 15.9(d), 16.7 and 34.4. 

Paragraphs 11.41, 11.43, 11.48(a)(i), 11.48(a)(ii), 12.28, 12.29(c), and 12.29(e) address similar disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Paragraphs 16.10(a) and 16.10(e)(ii)  address similar disclosure requirements for investment property. Paragraphs 34.7(b) and 34.7(c)(i) address similar disclosure requirements for biological assets.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

1AC.23   Where financial instruments or other assets have been measured in accordance with the  fair value accounting rules there must be stated for each class of derivatives, the extent and nature of  the instruments, including significant terms and conditions that may affect the amount, timing and certainty of future cash flows. (Schedule 1, paragraph 51(2)(c))

1AC.24  Where any amount is transferred to or from the fair value reserve during the reporting   period, there must be stated in tabular form:

(a) the amount of the reserve as at the beginning of the reporting period and as at the reporting date respectively; and

(b) the amount transferred to or from the reserve during that year. (Schedule 1, paragraph 51(3))

 Paragraphs 6.3A, 12.29(c) and 12.29(d) address similar requirements.

1AC.26 Financial instruments which under international accounting standards may be included in accounts at fair value, may be so included, provided that the disclosures required by such accounting standards are made. (Schedule 1, paragraph 36(4)) 

This only applies in certain circumstances; for example, it does not apply to derivatives. It applies where investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at fair value through profit or loss. When it applies, the disclosures required by Section 11 that relate to financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, including paragraph 11.48A, shall be given.

1AC10.8.2.2 Extract from the notes to the financial statements – note on investment property

(i) During the year the company completed the construction of a number of units which are now rented to third parties. As a result these units were transferred at cost from work in progress to investment

(ii) The land and buildings of the company were valued by [state name], [state qualification] to open market value reflecting existing use [or state alternate basis if appropriate] on [state date] 20XX. The valuation was carried out in accordance with the SCS Appraisal and Valuation Manual. {If the valuer is an officer or employee of the company or a group company this fact must be stated}. The critical assumptions made relating to the valuations are set out below:

  2015 2014
Yields X% X%
Inflation rate X% X%

OR WHERE APPLICABLE WHERE NO VALUATION WAS COMPLETED AT THE YEAR END

The land and buildings of the company were valued by [state name], [state qualification] to fair value reflecting existing use [or state alternate basis if appropriate] on [state date] 20XX. The valuation was carried out in accordance with the SCS Appraisal and Valuation Manual. {If the valuer is an officer or employee of the company or a group company this fact must be stated}. An updated valuation was not performed by the company as the directors believe the  valuation performed in XXX is not materially different from the carrying valye at 31 December 2015.

(iii) At 31 December 2015, the company could no longer reliably estimate the fair value of the investment property held at XXX due to market conditions in that location. As a result, in accordance with Section 16 of FRS 102, the property has been transferred from investment property and reclassified to property, plant and equipment at the carrying amount of CU50,000 and is depreciated from that date.

OR

At 31 December 2015, the company could no longer estimate the fair value of the investment property without undue cost and effort, therefore, the property has been transferred from investment property and reclassified to property, plant and equipment at the carrying amount of CU50,000 and is depreciated from that date.

(iv) All investment property has been pledged as security on loans taken out by the company.

1AC10.8.2.3 Investment note with investment in subsidiary, joint ventures and other investments

See illustration of the disclosure requirements in Section 1AC.22 of appendix C of Section 1A of FRS 102

Extract from the notes to the financial statements – note where a joint venture, subsidiary or associate is fair valued through the profit and loss

 (a) Investment in Subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less impairment. Other investments are held at cost less

Investments in joint ventures are measured at fair value based on valuation models which make the most of external market data such that the fair value represents the estimated value that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction under normal business conditions. The discounted cash flows use a discount rate of 10%. The valuation used a multiple of earnings which is consistent with industry norms.

1AC10.8.2.4 Extract of notes to the financial statements – Financial instruments note disclosures

See illustration of the disclosure requirements in section 1AC.22 – 1AC.24 AND 1AC.26 of Appendix C of section 1A of FRS 102

Note 1: The company takes out foreign currency contracts to hedge against the risk of foreign exchange movements. At 31 December 2015, the company had forward contracts to purchase FC100,000 at a rate of CU1=FC.80p. These contracts expire within 6 months of the year end. The fair value of these instruments at 31 December 2015 was CU10,000 (2014: CU2,000). This has been recognised in the profit and loss.

The forward contracts are measured at fair value by utilising observable market date, more specifically quoted prices.

OR WHERE HEDGING IS APPLIED

Derivatives – forward foreign exchange contracts 

Forward foreign exchange contracts are marked to market using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date.

The absolute principal amount of the outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts at 31 December 2015 was CUXXXX (2014: CUXXXXXXX).

The hedged highly probable forecast transactions denominated in foreign currency are expected to occur at various dates during the next 12 months. Gains and losses recognised in the hedging reserve in equity (note XX) on forward foreign exchange contracts as of 31 December 2015 are recognised in the profit and loss in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the income statement. This is generally within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

Derivatives – Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the expected future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at 31 December 2015 were CUxxxxx (2014: CUxxxxxx).

At 31 December 2015, the average fixed interest rate on the swap portfolio was X% (2014: X%). The main floating rates are EURIBOR and LIBOR. Gains and losses recognised in the hedging reserve in equity (note XX) on interest rate swap contracts as of December 2015 will be continually released to the income statement within finance cost until the maturity of the relevant interest rate swap.

Note 2: At the year end the fair value of certain equity investments could not be determined. As a result the carrying value prior to this date has now been deemed to be the cost of the investments.

 Note 3: These preference shares are classified as a non-basic financial instrument under Section 12 of FRS 102. The fair value of this financial liability is determined by assessing the present value of future cash flows at a market rate of interest at each period end date and utilising the discounted cash flow valuation technique. The market rate of interest used to present value the cash flows at the period end date was x% (2016: 0%). There was no movement on the fair value of this instrument between the date of initial recognition and the period end date. As the fair value has remained the same there was no fair value movement in relation to credit risk.  The future cash flows utilised in the valuation model are cash flows which are unavoidable.

OR

Movement of €XXX was recognised in the profit and loss account for the fair value movement on this liability in the year. €XXX of this movement related to the change in credit risk for the company during the year. The future cash flows utilised in the valuation model are cash flows which are unavoidable.

1AC.27 For the aggregate of all items shown under ‘creditors’ in the small entity’s statement of financial position there must be stated the aggregate of the following amounts:

(a) the amount of any debts included under ‘creditors’ which are payable or repayable otherwise than by instalments and fall due for payment or repayment after the end of the period of five years beginning with the day next following the reporting date; and

(b) in the case of any debts so included which are payable or repayable by instalments, the amount of any instalments which fall due for payment after the end of that period. (Schedule 1, paragraph 55(1))

1AC.28 In respect of each item shown under ‘creditors’ in the small entity’s statement of financial position there must be stated the aggregate amount of any debts included under that item in respect of which any security has been given by the small entity with an indication of the nature and form of any such security. (Schedule 1, paragraph 55(2))

Paragraphs 11.46, 13.22(e), 16.10(c), 17.32(a) and 18.28(c) address similar requirements.

1AC.29 The total amount of any financial commitments, guarantees and contingencies that are not included in the balance sheet must be stated. (Schedule 1, paragraph 57(1)).

The total amount of any commitments concerning pensions must be separately disclosed. (Schedule 1, paragraph 57(3)).

The total amount of any commitments which are undertaken on behalf of or for the benefit of:

(a) any parent, fellow subsidiary or any subsidiary of the small entity; or

(b) any undertaking in which the small entity has a participating interest, must be separately stated and those within (a) must also be stated separately from those within (b). (Schedule 1, paragraph 57(4))

Such commitments can arise in a variety of situations, including in relation to group entities, investments, property, plant and equipment, leases and pension obligations. Paragraphs 15.19(d), 16.10(d), 17.32(b), 18.28(d), 20.16, 21.15, 28.40A(a), 28.40A(b), 28.41A(d),

1AC.31 If in any reporting period a small entity is or has been party to arrangements that are not reflected in its statement of financial position and at the reporting date the risks or benefits arising from those arrangements are material the nature and business purpose of the arrangements must be given in the notes to the financial statements to the extent necessary for enabling the financial position of the small entity to be assessed. (Section 410A of the Act)

Examples of off-balance sheet arrangements include risk and benefit-sharing arrangements or obligations arising from a contract such as debt factoring, combined sale and repurchase arrangements, consignment stock arrangements, take or pay arrangements, securitisation arranged through separate entities, pledged assets, operating lease arrangements, outsourcing and the like. In many cases the disclosures about financial commitments and contingencies required by paragraphs 1AC.29 and 1AC.30 will also address such arrangements.

1AC.10.9.2.1 Overview

Examples of the disclosure requirements stated in sections 1AC.27 to 1AC.31 of Appendix C of FRS 102 have been included below as well as any restrictions placed on assets:


1AC10.9.2.2 Contingencies note

1) Extract from contingencies note (section 1AC.31 of Appendix C):

Contingencies

A legal action is pending against the company for alleged unfair dismissal. The directors under advisement from their legal team expect that the claim will be successfully defended. Should the company be unsuccessful in the action the maximum estimated settlement is not expected to exceed CU10,000. It is not practicable as yet to state the timing of the any possible payment.

A legal case has been taken against the company, the outcome of which is uncertain. There is a contingent liability in the range of CU0 to CU400,000 in respect of this case. It is not practicable as yet to state the timing of the any possible payment.

A customer has commenced a legal action against the company for defective workmanship. The directors under advisement by their legal team believe that it is possible but not probable the actionwill succeed and therefore no provision has been made in these financial statements. Should the action succeed the estimated liability would be CU100,000.

There is a potential contingent asset/liability in the future in relation to profit commission agreements entered into with various product producers. However in the opinion of the directors it is not practicable to provide an estimate of the financial effect of this contingent asset/liability as it is based on future loss ratios in relation to unsettled claims.

It is not anticipated that any material liabilities will arise from the contingent liabilities other than those provided for.

1AC10.9.2.3 Off-balance sheet arrangements note (section 1AC.31 of Appendix C of FRS 102)

(i) During the year the company announced a formal plan to restructure the operations and as a result announced a plan to let employees go. This amount represents the expected cost of redundancy as a result of this decision.

(ii) The directors have reviewed the carrying value of tangible fixed assets, net of associated deferred grants, at the year end in accordance with Section 27 “Impairment of Assets”. As a result, a net impairment loss of CU8,000 (2014: CUNil) has been charged to the profit and loss account for the year. The impairment of CU8,000 represents an impairment of tangible fixed assets net of a release of related deferred grants of CU500. The impairment losses have been allocated to fixed assets categories on a pro-rata basis relative to their pre-impairment carrying values. The impairment loss arose as a result of the material change in the market in which the company operates. Deferred tax has been recognised as a result of this adjustment.

The company’s activities were considered, due to their nature, to form one income-generating unit for the purposes of the impairment review. A pre-tax discount rate of X%, representing the estimated market rate of return on an investment with equal risk, was applied to the expected future cash flows in the value in use calculation. Value in use was considered to exceed estimated net realisable value. Cash flows have been projected over five years based on management forecasts and budgets. After that a steady growth rate of X% has been assumed.

See further disclosures at 1AC10.11.2.6


1AC10.11.2.3 Loans, guarantees, credit transactions entered into the benefit of directors

Section 1AC.36 of FRS 102 requires disclosure of loans, guarantees and credit transactions to be entered into for the benefit of directors and connected persons. See illustration of these disclosure requirements below. Note loans from directors do not need to be disclosed where they are at market rates/given under normal market conditions (if they are not then they must be disclosed)

Included within debtors are the below balances owed by the directors

Directors’ Loans Directors A Director B
CU CU
Opening Balance 4,332 100,000
Repayments by directors (1,000)
Advances to directors 9,301
Closing balance 12,633   100,000

The loan is interest free and is repayable on demand. The amount written off during the year was CUXXX (2016: CUxxx).  A provision of CUXX (2016: CUXX) was provided against this loan at year end. No amounts were written off in the period (2016: CUXX).

1A10.11.2.3.1 Guarantees

Section 1AC.36 of Appendix C of FRS 102 requires guarantees entered into for the benefit of directors to be disclosed. See the disclosure requirements below.

Guarantees for benefit of director – example

During the period the company entered into an arrangement to guarantee personal loans to the director. This is a 5-year loan and the maximum potential liability in CUX. No amount has been called in up to the period end and no costs have been incurred to period end date.

1AC10.11.2.4 Directors remuneration

A small entity is not specifically required to disclosure directors remuneration from the outset. Schedule 1 (66) and Section 1AC.35 of FRS 102 requires all particulars to be disclosed of transactions entered into with the directors which have not been concluded under normal market conditions which would specifically include remuneration paid/payable to directors (this is specifically referred to in Section 1AC.35 of FRS 102).
Judgement will be required here as to whether the remuneration is on an arm’s length basis (i.e. if the remuneration is what would be paid to the directors if someone else who is not a shareholder was to be employed to do the job). Views differ as to what normal market conditions refer to. Therefore if the directors/accountant/auditor believe it is not disclosable, the reasoning for the decision must be kept on file. We have included the below as an example of the disclosure requirements where it is deemed that the remuneration was not concluded under normal market conditions:

2017 2016
£ £
Remuneration
Salary 182,000 185,600
Social security
Other Pension Costs 30,000 30,000
212,000   225,600
1AC10.11.2.5 Dividends

Section 1AC.35 of Appendix C of FRS 102 only requires dividend paid/proposed but not paid to be disclosed where it is paid under normal market conditions. See example below where the dividend is made under non standard market conditions


The directors received dividends of CUXXX in dividends during the year (2014:CUNil).

1AC10.11.2.6 Other related party transactions (concluded under non market conditions) including transactions with directors

AN Other, the director of the company, holds an interest in patents which are licensed to the company for the manufacture of certain machines. During the period, patent royalties of CUXXXX (2014: CUXXXX) were charged to the company in respect of the use of these patents. At 31 December 2015  an amount of CUXXXX was due from the directors (2014: CUXXXX amount due to the directors).

During the year the company was charged CUXXX (2014: CUXXX) by AN Other Limited for rental of the premises where the company operates. An amount of CUXXX (2014: CUXXX) was owed to AN Other Limited at the year end.  AN Other Limited is related by virtue of common directors.

During the year the company paid expenses in the amount of CUXXXX (2014: CUXXXX) on behalf of  an associate, Associate Limited. An amount of CUXXXX (2014: CUXXXX) remained outstanding from this company at the year end. A provision of CUXXXXX (2014: CUXXX) was provided against this balance at the 31 December 2015.
