STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
The directors are satisfied with the performance of the company in the current financial year. After a year severely disrupted by Covid the directors are pleased with the way in which the company has bounced back. Whilst trading conditions improved dramatically across the economic sectors in which the company trades, the company did particularly well as a result of an aggressive stock ordering policy. This policy, supported by market leading data analytics, ensured the company always had stock to sell and never had to halt order intake, despite the supply chain difficulties that became steadily worse during the year.  
The company increased its turnover to £213.0m (2020: £134.7m) and achieved an increase in gross profit margin to 8.7% (2020: 2.9%) and a net profit before tax of £5.8m (2020:net loss before tax £7.6m).
At the year end, the company had net assets of £12.1m (2020: £8.1m) and the Molson Group has undrawn funding facilities of £44.6m (2020: £38.7m). Additionally, trading during the first quarter of the current financial year has been solid and order intake continues to remain strong.
The directors therefore believe the company's position to be satisfactory.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The directors have reviewed and agreed policies for managing the financial risks, and these are summarised below:
Market Risk
As with most businesses, market risk encompasses three types of risk, being price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk:

Price risk
The company continues to compete effectively by continually monitoring its product range and responding to activities in the market. The company operates in a competitive market, however there have been no significant alterations to the underlying risks of operating in this industry, nor are any anticipated.
Interest rate risk
Company bank borrowings incur interest at market rates. The company mitigates its exposures through the ongoing monitoring of the rates being applied.
Currency risk
The company makes a number of purchases and sales in currencies other than sterling. The company maintains foreign currency bank accounts and through close monitoring of exchange rates aims to convert funds to sterling when rates are appropriate. The company utilises forward exchange current contracts to hedge its short-term exposure.

Credit risk
Credit risk is tightly controlled as machines are not usually released to the customer until paid for and most are financed by a finance company, net of any deposit paid by the buyer. Customer credit risk is addressed through a mixture of credit worthiness checks and a proactive approach to cash collection. 
Liquidity risk
The company ensures sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs through regular cash flow forecasting and negotiation of appropriate financing arrangements.

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH DUTY TO PROMOTE THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY
 
The board of directors of the Company consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole and having regard (amongst other matters) to factors (a) to (f) S172 Companies Act 2006, in the decisions taken during the year ended 30 September 2021. Specifically, the Board ensure in all decisions taken that:

Business is conducted morally and ethically, in line with Molson’s Code of Conduct
Short-term gains do not have an adverse consequence on Molson’s long-term strategy, success and benefits
Employee welfare, training and interests are taken care of
Customer and supplier relationships are strong, mutually beneficial and comply with Molson’s policies (such as anti-bribery and corruption, anti-slavery and human trafficking and corporate social responsibility)
Any community and environmental impacts as a result of Molson’s operations are considered

During the financial year, Molson:

Worked closely with its manufacturer partners, other suppliers and customers to meet demand for product in the face of continued uncertainty about the impact of COVID on the economy and significant supply chain disruption
Continued the investment in its IT platform and infrastructure to develop both an e-commerce and a fleet management website for customers.  These are expected to be launched early in 2022
Commenced the roll out of the Molson Academy. The Academy will identify the training and development needs of all staff across all departments and put in place the relevant opportunities for staff to be successful in their role and career



This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £4,056,000 (2020: loss £6,126,000).

DIRECTORS

The directors who served during the year were:

R Powell 
J Powles 
J Wilson (resigned 15 December 2021)

ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES

The directors have engaged with employees across the business through a devolved system of management that encourages individual initiative and collaboration between all levels of the organisation to ensure employees feel empowered and valued. Molson’s success is built on great customer service and its employees are key to delivering that so the interests of employees are always taken into account where relevant in the principal decisions taken by the company. During this financial year, the Company has focussed on the training and development of its staff.  Firstly, through its continued involvement in training engineering apprentices in conjunction with Weston College.  During the year, the Company has been supporting 10 trainees through their apprentices. The Company has also become involved in English Premiership Rugby’s education and employability programme, HITZ. HITZ is designed to support young people to make positive changes in their lives and Molson have taken on 4 young people as apprentices in IT and engineering.  Lastly, the Company has started the roll out of the Molson Academy. The Academy will identify the training and development needs of all staff across all departments and put in place the relevant opportunities for staff to be successful in their role and career.

ENGAGEMENT WITH SUPPLIERS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS

Molson seeks to develop strong, long lasting ties with customers and suppliers by ensuring that all customers and suppliers have a dedicated relationship manager.  In addition, the Company’s directors regularly meet with customers and suppliers to get direct feedback on their needs and how they rate the service the Company is providing.  In October 2021 Molson held a week long “Open Day Event” at our head office in Avonmouth, Bristol.  This event enabled Molson and its manufacturer partners to showcase the full product range the Company offers to customers and enabled customers to spend an extended period of time with their relationship manager, Molson  senior management and representatives from the product manufacturers.  The event also enabled Molson to demonstrate Beta versions of its e-commerce and fleet management products.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 30 September 2021 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


BASIS FOR OPINION


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MOLSON EQUIPMENT SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
 
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
 
We have considered the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance.
We have considered the results of our enquiries of management, including the Chief Operating Officer, about their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities.
For any matters identified we have obtained and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies
and procedures relating to:
°Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
°Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud and whether they have knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; and,
°The internal controls established to mitigate the risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We have considered the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, and incorrect recognition of revenue and mis-valuation of stock were identified as the greatest potential areas for fraud.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included:
 
Health and safety; and
Employment legislation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MOLSON EQUIPMENT SERVICES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Audit response to risks identified
 
We identified recognition of revenue as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud, our procedures to
respond to risks identified included the following:
 
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation claims;
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement or fraud; and
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Molson Equipment Services Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Smoke Lane Industrial Estate, Avonmouth, Bristol, BS11 0YA.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD 102 - REDUCED DISCLOSURE EXEMPTIONS

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.3

GOING CONCERN

The directors are satisfied with the performance of the company in the current financial year. After a year severely disrupted by Covid the directors are pleased with the way in which the company has bounced back. In general, trading conditions improved dramatically across the economic sectors in which the company trades but the company did particularly well as a result of an aggressive stock ordering policy. This policy, supported by market leading data analytics, ensured the company always had stock to sell and never had to halt order intake, despite the supply chain difficulties that became steadily worse during the year.  
The company increased its turnover to £213.0m (2020: £134.7m) and achieved an increase in gross profit margin to 8.2% (2020: 2.9%) and a net profit before tax of £5.8m (2020: net loss before tax £7.6m).
At the year end, the company had net assets of £12.1m (2020: £8.1m) and the Molson Group has undrawn funding facilities of £44.6m (2020: £38.7m).
Additionally, trading during the current financial year has been solid and order intake continues to remain strong.
The directors have prepared forecasts that show the company is able to realise its assets and settle its liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

 
2.4

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

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 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'.

2.5

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.6

OPERATING LEASES: THE COMPANY AS LESSOR

Rental income from operating leases is credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 
2.7

OPERATING LEASES: THE COMPANY AS LESSEE

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 
2.8

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.9

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.10

BORROWING COSTS

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.11

PENSIONS

Defined Contribution Pension Plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.12

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of financial position date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.13

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis to the Statement of comprehensive income over its useful economic life.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 
2.14

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Leasehold improvements
-
5-20% straight line
Plant and machinery
-
25% straight line
Motor vehicles
-
25% straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
25% straight line
IT equipment
-
25-67% straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.15

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. Where merger relief is applicable, the cost of the investment in a subsidiary undertaking is measured at the nominal value of the shares issued together with the fair value of any additional consideration paid.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
2.16

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.17

DEBTORS

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 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.

 
2.18

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.

 
2.19

CREDITORS

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.20

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position.

 
2.21

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

2.21
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or income as appropriate. The company does not currently apply hedge accounting for interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives.

JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The critical judgements made by management that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Critical judgments
Lease commitments
The company determines whether leases entered into by the company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating or lease or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis.
Depreciation rates
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
Sources of estimation uncertainty
Impairment of fixed assets
The company determines whether there are indicators of impairment of tangible and intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.
Valuation of stock provision
The company determines whether there are conditions that exist at the balance sheet date that indicates that the net realisable value of individual stock lines are less than the carrying value. Such indicators include post year end sales, auction prices, and market demand.
