NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
Ixia Technologies Europe Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 610 Wharfedale Road, Winnersh Triangle, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG41 5TP. The nature of the Company's operations and its principal activity is set out on page 2.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 101 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
See note 2.3 for further details regarding the basis of preparation in relation to going concern.
The following principal accounting policies were applied:
|
|
|
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD 101 - REDUCED DISCLOSURE EXEMPTIONS
|
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions under FRS 101:
∙the requirements of paragraphs 45(b) and 46-52 of IFRS 2 Share based payment
∙the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
∙the requirements of paragraphs 91-99 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
∙the requirement in paragraph 38 of IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' to present comparative information in respect of:
- paragraph 73(e) of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment;
∙the requirements of paragraphs 10(d), 10(f), 16, 38A, 38B, 38C, 38D, 40A, 40B, 40C, 40D, 111 and 134-136 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
∙the requirements of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
∙the requirements of paragraph 17 and 18A of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
∙the requirements in IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures to disclose related party transactions entered into between two or more members of a group, provided that any subsidiary which is a party to the transaction is wholly owned by such a member
∙the requirements of paragraphs 130(f)(ii), 130(f)(iii), 134(d)-134(f) and 135(c)-135(e) of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
In a previous period, the trade of the Company was moved to another company within the Keysight Technologies Inc Group. The Company has since stopped trading and management plan to wind up the Company in the near future.
As the future of the business is currently uncertain, the financial statements are prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment, as this is deemed to equate to amortised cost. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
The Company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. The Company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below:
Financial assets
The Company classifies all of its financial assets as loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (e.g. debtors), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.
Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Company will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For debtors which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised within administrative expenses in the Income statement. On confirmation that the debtor will not be collected, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
|
|
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
|
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies all of its financial liabilities as liabilities at amortised cost.
At amortised cost
Financial liabilities at amortised cost, including bank borrowings, are initially recognised at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the instrument. Such interest bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried into the Statement of Financial Position.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
|
|
|
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is £ sterling.
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 resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

The profit and loss account includes all current and prior period retained profits and losses. All are considered distributable.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020 was unqualified.
In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter:
We draw attention to note 2.1 in the financial statements, which explains how during the prior period the trade of the Company was moved to another company within the Keysight Technologies Inc Group. The Company has since stopped trading and management plan to wind up the Company in the near future.
As the future of the business is currently uncertain, the financial statements are prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern basis. See note 2.1 for further information on this basis of preparation.
Our opinion is not modified in this respect of this matter.
The audit report was signed on 08 June 2021 by Simon Morrison FCA (Senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Bishop Fleming Bath Limied
