Neil Sachdev, Non-executive Chairman, commented:
"This has been a landmark year for Cake Box, due to both the
successful completion of our initial public offering and the
significant expansion of our family of franchisees.
"Although we have only been on AIM for a short period, we have
made a huge amount of progress. New store openings have kept pace
with our plans, our franchisees are enjoying good performance and
we have a solid platform for growth with two new warehouse and
distribution centres secured. As such, we look forward with great
confidence."
Sukh Chamdal, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"In the year Cake Box celebrated its 10(th) birthday, I'm
delighted to be announcing such a strong set of maiden full year
results as a listed business. In just a decade, we have developed a
unique proposition and a much-loved national brand which has
significant potential for significant further expansion, as we look
to introduce more customers to our fabulous fresh cream cake
offering.
"These results demonstrate the continuing appeal of the Cake Box
brand, to both customers and franchises, combined with the
financial strength of the Group, particularly the strong cash
generative nature of our business model. In the past financial
year, we have made good progress with our strategic priorities of
new store growth, growing our existing stores, introducing new
products lines and developing our digital marketing. We are pleased
that our geographical spread has increased but there remain plenty
of regions where we are confident there is still significant scope
for expansion.
"The new financial year has started well and we have already
opened four new franchise stores, with two more expected to open
before the end of June 2019. The Group is well placed for further
progress and the Board is confident of another successful year of
growth."

Chairman's Statement
Results
The Group has delivered a strong performance in its inaugural
year as a listed business, with revenues of GBP16.9 million,
reflecting growth of 33% over the previous year. Our new franchise
store openings mean that Cake Box is now present in new geographies
such as Feltham, Croydon and Bury. The openings have continued to
deliver solid returns for franchisees and customer satisfaction
continues to be at high levels, as does our brand awareness.
Dividend
As outlined at the time of IPO, the Company has adopted a
progressive dividend policy to reflect the cash flow generation and
earnings of the Group.
The Board is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 2.4 pence
per share, bringing the total dividend for the year to 3.6 pence
per share. If approved by the shareholders at the Company's AGM on
23 July 2019, the final dividend of 2.4 pence per share will be
paid on 2 August 2019 to shareholders on the register on 5 July
2019.
Our colleagues and franchisees
I joined the Board in June 2018 as non-Executive Chairman, along
with two new non-executives, Martin Blair and Adam Batty. It is a
great privilege to work alongside such a talented, founder-led
management team. Collectively, the executive directors have made
the business the success that it currently is.
We have an amazing and diverse network of franchisees, many of
whom are running their own businesses for the first time, and some
of whom have expanded their business to encompass multiple shops.
All are working hard to please customers in their local
communities, helping them to celebrate important occasions with
friends and family.
This is a young, incredibly diverse business that is driven by
talented Head Office staff at Enfield and around the country in our
franchise stores. On behalf of the Board and shareholders, I would
like to record my thanks for their incredible enthusiasm and
entrepreneurship that is the making of Cake Box now and in the
future.
Looking ahead
We expect continued delivery of our growth plans and
implementation of our strategy into 2019 and beyond. We remain
focused on what works for customers and delivering them the very
best products across the UK.
As we look ahead, we are focused on continuing to introduce new
product lines and roll-out a sustainable pipeline of new stores, as
well building our online and digital capabilities to ensure our
customers everywhere can access our products from a choice of
channels that are convenient for them. Our stores will always
remain the heart of what we do.
I am looking forward to working with the Board, our staff and
the franchisee community to deliver our vision of making Cake Box
accessible to all.

Non-Executive Chairman
CEO Statement and Business Review
I am proud to be writing my first CEO Statement in our first
year as an AIM company, particularly following another year of
significant growth for the Cake Box business. During the year, we
grew Group revenues from GBP12.8m to GBP16.9m, and increased
underlying EBITDA by 20% to GBP4.4m.
The Cake Box brand has continued to go from strength to strength
and we have made good progress since floatation on our strategic
priorities of new store growth, introducing new products lines,
growing our store estate and developing our digital marketing. Our
geographical spread has also increased into new towns and cities
across England - from Southampton in the south, to Newcastle in the
north. With only one franchise store currently in Scotland
(Glasgow), this is a region we can target for growth, along with
Wales where we do not have any franchise stores.
Sales
Our performance during the last twelve months has been pleasing,
with average franchise store revenue increasing by 18% and our
estate growing by 27 franchise stores to 113 franchise stores.
During the summer of 2018, the extended period of hot weather
had an impact on the rate of like-for-like franchise store sales
growth, which slowed from 15.0% last year to 6.5% for the year. As
soon as temperatures reverted to seasonal norms, our franchise
stores saw a pick-up in sales growth, and this strengthened through
the fourth quarter with franchise store like-for-like sales growth
recovering to 8.6% in the second half, compared to 4.4% in the
first half. Franchisee total turnover rose to GBP30.7m for the year
(2018: GBP25.9m).
Financial results
These results demonstrate the continuing appeal of the Cake Box
brand and our unique customer offer, combined with the financial
strength of the Group and the strong cash generative nature of our
business model. We have achieved impressive growth in revenues and
profits despite the hot weather which adversely impacted high
street footfall during the summer months.
Stores
Expansion is continuing in line with our target of opening an
average of six new franchise stores per quarter (two per month).
Our progress here brought the franchise store count to 113 at the
year end and continuing this delivery, we opened four new stores
since the start of the new financial year, with two more expected
to open before the end of Q1 2019.
Trading environment
In contrast to the challenges being seen widely across the UK
high street, we continue to perform strongly. The strength of our
approach is underlined by our ability to offer our customers the
unique Cake Box offer and the convenience they want. We give our
customers the flexibility to either pop in at one of our stores,
order a cake and get it personalised on the spot for no extra
charge, or order online and collect in a hassle-free fashion.
Strong franchise model
We have grown from just one store to 113 franchise stores in our
first decade of operation, committing to a franchise model from the
start. We believe that our focus on our people and our franchisees
who, as owner occupiers, are driven to increase sales and offer
exceptional customer service with the support of Head Office, will
allow us to continue delivering resilient sales growth.
Warehouse and distribution centres and production facilities
We are in the process of opening two new warehouse and
distribution centres to complement our existing facility in
Enfield, London. This will provide us with a more streamlined
production and distribution operation, reducing the delivery time
to within 90 minutes for 95% of our franchise stores. This also
addresses our goals of reducing food delivery miles which helps
improve our environmental impact.
As well as acting as a distribution centre, the intention is to
install some sponge production capability at the new sites which
would enable us to reduce our existing distribution costs and
provide a back up to our production facility in Enfield. We are
also investing to improve efficiency in our production methods and
technology, whilst improving our recipes. New baking equipment is
also allowing us to increase yield and command better prices with
our ever-increasing buying power.
Outlook
Following a strong first full year results since our IPO, the
Board is pleased with trading so far in the current financial year.
We have a strong pipeline of new franchise store openings and are
confident of delivering our growth strategy of six new franchise
stores a quarter (two a month) during the year.

Revenue
Reported revenue for the year to 31 March 2019 was GBP16.9m.
Revenue increased by 33% compared to the previous financial year.
This was achieved through an increase in store like-for-like sales
and with the addition of a record number of new stores openings in
the year.
Gross margin
Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved from 42.9% to
45.7%. The was supported by an increase in cake sponge
profitability from 67.3% to 69.1%. This was obtained by the
increased efficiency of production achieved by the installation of
new ovens at the start of the year.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA excludes AIM listing costs of GBP599k and fair
value uplift of GBP444k. On this basis, adjusted EBITDA increased
from GBP3.70m to GBP4.4m and represents an increase of 20% year on
year.
Taxation
The effective rate of taxation was 21.0% (2018: 17.0%). This is
higher than the standard rate of 19% due to the AIM listing costs
which are a disallowable deduction for corporation tax.
Earnings per share (EPS)
Underlying earnings per share were 7.90p (2018: 6.92p). The
number of shares in issue was 40,000,000 and is unchanged since the
Company's IPO in June 2018.
Dividend
Having delivered a year of strong growth, the Board is pleased
to propose a final dividend of 2.4 pence per share, bringing the
total dividend for the year to 3.6 pence per share. As previously
stated, the Company intends that the total dividend for each year
will split into one third for the first six months of the year to
two thirds for the year end respectively.
Financing of new warehouse and distribution centres
The purchase of the two freehold warehouse and distribution
centres, a combined investment of GBP1.4m, was partly funded by way
of a new 15 year mortgage of GBP650k, with the rest being paid
through existing cash resources.
Cash position
The Group had GBP3.1m of cash at year end, an increase of
GBP0.6m despite payment of net GBP0.75m for the freehold warehouses
and payment of a maiden interim dividend of 1.2 pence which
accounted for GBP0.4m. At year end, the Group has a net cash
position of GBP0.9m which was unchanged from the previous year.
Trade and other receivables
The Group had GBP1,585,348 of trade and other receivables at 31
March 2019, a marginal increase on the prior year. The majority of
this balance relates to trade receivables which have decreased by
5.9% despite the increase in turnover. This primarily represents
the extended credit terms for franchisees in respect of payment of
their initial franchise packages. Trading debts relating to
purchases of products remain low in comparison as credit terms have
a strict seven day payment term.
Trade and other payables
The Group had GBP1,414,693 of trade and other payables at the
year end, an increase of 2.6% on the prior year. The Group actively
sources cost effective suppliers without compromising on the
quality of the products. Other payables are paid according to terms
specified.
We have delivered another year of record profitability despite
having plc & AIM floatation costs for the first time

Cake Box Holdings Plc
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARED 31 MARCH 2019
1. General information
Cake Box Holdings Plc is a listed company limited by shares,
incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. Its registered
office is 20 - 22 Jute Lane, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7PJ. On 20
June 2018, the Company converted to a public company and on 27 June
2018 was admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock
Exchange.
The financial statements cover Cake Box Holdings Plc ('Company')
and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the
financial year (referred to as the 'Group').
The principal activity of the Group continues to be as a
specialist retailer of fresh cream cakes.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in
accordance with a resolution of directors, on 21(st) June 2019. The
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial
statements.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The audited financial information does not constitute statutory
financial statements for the years ended 31st March 2018 and 31
March 2019 as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The
figures for the period ended 31 March 2019 have been extracted from
the Group's financial statements and those for the comparative
period from the historic financial information for the year ended
31 March 2018. The statutory financial statements for the years
ended 31 March 2019 received an audit report which was unqualified
and did not include any reference to matters to which the auditors
drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report
or any statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2019 will be dispatched to the shareholders and filed with
the Registrar of Companies.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 and
the historic financial information for the year ended 31 March 2018
have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified
by fair value measurement of investment property and freehold
property and, in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU ("IFRS"). This financial information
has been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting
policies adopted in the financial statements and historic financial
information, and in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of IFRS but does not contain all the information
required to be disclosed in financial statements prepared in full
compliance with IFRS.
.
Sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis of making judgements about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis and any revision to estimates or assumptions are recognised
in the period in which they are revised and in future periods
affected.
Significant judgements and estimates
The material areas in which estimates and judgements are applied
are as follows:
Franchise fees
Under the franchise agreement between the Company and the
franchisee the promised goods and services are considered distinct
from the franchise rights as they are separately identifiable and
each franchisee can benefit from the main constituent elements in
their own right and the related goods and services are materially
performed prior to the franchisee operating at which point the
transaction price is allocated and revenue recognised.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of food, equipment and other direct goods
supplied to the franchisees continue to be recognised upon delivery
of the related products in accordance with the core principles.
Online sales
The directors consider the company continues to act as agent in
relation to the fulfilment of online sales because the franchisee
has primary responsibility to provide the specified goods to the
customer.
Freehold land & buildings
Freehold land & buildings are held at valuation.
Depreciation has not been provided for as deemed immaterial.
One property held at valuation has not been revalued by an
independent valuer. The directors consider that the value of the
freehold property is representative of the current market value
after consideration to similar properties in the surrounding area
based upon extensive research. See note 14 for further
information.
Investment Properties
Investment properties have not been valued by an independent
valuer. The directors consider that the value of the freehold
investment properties is representative of the current market value
after comparison to similar properties in the surrounding area. See
note 15 for further information.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the
Group operates (the functional currency) is Pound Sterling ("GBP or
GBP") which is also the presentation currency.
2.3 Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial
statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries
include all entities over which the Group has the power to govern
financial and operating policies. 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 consolidated from the
date on which control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
A list of the significant investments in subsidiaries, including
the name, country of incorporation and proportion of ownership
interest is given in note 2 to the Company's separate financial
statements.
2.4 Standards in issue not yet effective
IFRS 16 'Leases'
The Group has considered how leases are accounted for in
accordance with IFRS 16 'Leases', including consideration of the
transition method. The standard is expected to only affect the
Group in respect of leases that it has in place that are currently
treated as operating leases in accordance with current
standards.
The Group acts as a lessee and lessor but will not be required
to recognise operating leases on the balance sheet when the new
standard is implemented. The leases are expected to fall under the
definition of short-term leases exemption criteria. Early adoption
of this standard has not been taken.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements the
following Standards and Interpretations which have not been applied
in these financial statements were in issue but not yet
effective:

IFRS 9 Amendments regarding prepayment features with 1 January

2.5 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments, has been identified as the executive directors that make
strategic decisions. Whilst the Group trading has numerous
components, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) is of the
opinion that there is only one operating segment. This is in line
with internal reporting provided to the executive directors.
2.6 Going concern
Based on the current working capital forecast, the Group is
unlikely to need additional funds within twelve months of the date
of approval of these financial statements in order to maintain its
proposed work levels of expenditure providing contracts progress as
planned, new contracts are secured and the Group is able to
continue successfully managing its cash resources. After making
enquiries and considering the assumptions upon which the forecasts
have been based, the directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the annual financial statements.
2.7 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised:
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the
following conditions are satisfied:
-- the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards
of ownership to the buyer;
-- the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement
to the degree usually associated
with the ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-- the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
-- it is probable that the Group 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;
Fees
Fee receivable from the franchisee for branding, equipment,
training and initial support are recognised on delivery of the
equipment and rendering of the services enabling the franchisee to
operate at which time the company has performed its obligations
under the franchise agreement in respect of the fees. Fees received
in advance are held on the Consolidated statement of Financial
position as deferred income.
Online sales
Online sales which include click and collect sales where the
franchisee has the primary responsibility for the fulfillment of
the order and the Group is collecting consideration on behalf of
the franchisee as agent are not recognised as revenue of the Group.
Only the net commission amount is recognized.
2.8 Current and deferred taxation
Current tax liabilities
Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent
unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount already paid in
respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for
those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset, limited to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which those deductible temporary differences can be
utilised.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and
their corresponding tax bases (known as temporary differences).
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary
differences that are expected to increase taxable profit in the
future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all temporary
differences that are expected to reduce taxable profit in the
future, and any unused tax losses or unused tax credits, limited to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which those deductible temporary differences can
be utilised.
The net carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at
each reporting date and is adjusted to reflect the current
assessment of future taxable profits. Any adjustments are
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax
is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
taxable profit (tax loss) of the periods in which it expects the
deferred tax asset to be realised or the deferred tax liability to
be settled, on the basis of tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Tax Expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax movement for the current period. The tax
currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year.
2.9 Tangible fixed assets - held at cost
Property, plant & equipment under the cost model, other than
investment and freehold properties, 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.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged
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 annual basis:
Plant & machinery - 25% Straight-line
method
Motor vehicles - 25% Straight-line
method
Fixtures & fittings - 25% Straight-line
method
Assets under construction - Not depreciated
Assets under the course of construction are carried at cost less
any recognised impairment loss. Depreciation of these assets
commences when the assets are ready for the intended use.
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 the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
2.10 Tangible fixed assets - held at valuation
Individual freehold properties are carried at current year value
at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment
losses. Revaluations are undertaken with sufficient regularity to
ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from that
which would be determined using fair value at each Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position date.
Fair values are determined by the directors from market-based
evidence.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the Other
Comprehensive Income unless losses exceed the previously recognised
gains or reflect a clear consumption of economic benefits, in which
case the excess losses are recognised in the profit and loss.
2.11 Investment property
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually
by the directors and derived from the current market rents and
investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if
necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition
of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair
value are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
2.12 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is
considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except assets
such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits,
financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair
value.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is
recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to
sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment
loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously
recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is
recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they
are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as
held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented
separately from the other assets in the Consolidated statement of
Financial position.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories 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.
2.14 Financial instruments
Initial Measurement
Financial Instruments are initially measured at the transaction
price (this includes transaction cost except in the initial
measurement of financial assets and liabilities that will be
measured at fair value through the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income). If, however the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction it is then measured at the present value of
the future payments, discounted at a market related interest
rate.
Trade and other receivables
All sales are made on the basis of normal credit terms, and the
receivables do not bear interest. Where credit is extended beyond
normal credit terms, receivables are measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting
period, the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables are
reviewed. Impairment provisions for current and non-current trade
receivables are recognised based on the simplified approach within
IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the
lifetime expected credit losses. During this process the
probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables is
assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the
expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime
expected credit loss for the trade receivables. For trade
receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded
in a separate provision account with the loss being recognised
within cost of sales in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be
collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off
against the associated provision.
Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations on the basis of normal credit
terms and do not bear interest. Trade payables denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into Sterling using the exchange
rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains or losses are
included in other income or other expenses.
Bank loans and overdrafts
All borrowings are initially recorded at the amount of proceeds
received, net of transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the
proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on
redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement
over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expenses are recognised on the basis of the effective
interest method and are included in finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
2.15 Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income 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.
2.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call
deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.17 Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally
payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final
equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders
at an Annual General Meeting.
2.18 Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.
Finance Lease - Lessee
Rights to assets held under finance leases are recognised as
assets of the Group at the fair value of the leased property (or,
if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments) at the
inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor
is included in the statement of financial position as a finance
lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance
charges and a reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Assets held under finance leases are included in
property, plant and equipment, and depreciated and assessed for
impairment losses in the same way as owned assets.
Operating Lease - Lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line
basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Operating Lease - Lessor
Rental receipts under an operating lease are recognised as
income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.19 Employee benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits
The cost of short term employee benefits, (those payable within
12 months after the service is rendered, such as leave pay and sick
leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care),
are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and
are not discounted.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its
employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under
which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity.
Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further
payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due.
Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the
plan are held separately from the Group in independently
administered funds.
Termination benefits
The entity recognises the expense and corresponding liability
for termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to
either of the following scenarios:
a. The termination of the employment of an employee or group of
employees before the normal retirement age, or
b. The provision of termination benefits in relation to an offer
made to encourage voluntary redundancy.
The value of such benefit is measured at the best estimate of
the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting
date.
2.20 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Group has an obligation at
the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that
the Group will be required to transfer economic benefits in
settlement; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated
reliably.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the amount
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 to a specific obligation. The increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest
expense.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not
recognised.
2.21 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are
measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received
or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity
instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is
material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
2.22 Research and development
Research and development expenditure is charged to the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which
it is incurred.
2.23 Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is
measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes
that the transaction will take place either: in the principal
market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For
non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in
the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified
into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers
between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements,
external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not
available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant.
External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and
reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an
asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is
undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs
applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable,
with external sources of data.
