Introduction
This publication presents illustrative consolidated financial statements for a fictitious listed company, VALUE IFRS Plc. The
financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued at 30 June 2021 and that
apply to financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2021.
We have attempted to create a realistic set of financial statements for VALUE IFRS Plc, a corporate entity that
manufactures goods, provides services and holds investment property. However, as this publication is a reference tool, we
have not removed any disclosures based on materiality. Instead, we have included illustrative disclosures for as many
common scenarios as possible. Please note that the amounts disclosed in this publication are purely for illustrative
purposes and may not be consistent throughout the publication.
There were no changes to the financial reporting requirements this year that affected the disclosures in our example
financial statements. However, noting the increased use of supplier financing (or reverse factoring) and the agenda decision
issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IC) last year, we have added illustrative disclosures for such an arrangement
to note 7(f). We have also made a number of smaller improvements to some of the other disclosures, including moving
lease accounting policies that are not entity-specific from note 8(b) to note 25(h).
At the time of writing, the biggest impact on the financial statements of entities all around the world continues to be related
to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impairment of assets, including receivables, information about going concern and
borrowing profiles will likely still be a focus of stakeholders as at 31 December 2021. Entities will need consider to what
extent they need to explain the impact on their business and the key assumptions made. However, as the impact will differ
from entity to entity, we are referring our readers to our dedicated web site, which provides many useful resources,
including certain disclosure examples, and continues to be updated to reflect latest developments. This website also
discusses the accounting for COVID-19-related rent concessions by both lessees and lessors. We have therefore not
illustrated any related disclosures in this publication.
Our fact pattern further assumes that VALUE IFRS Plc will not be affected by interest rate benchmark reform. However,
entities with hedging relationships and entities that have exposure to interest rates where (i) the interest rates are
dependent on interbank offered rates (IBORs), and (ii) these IBORs are subject to interest rate benchmark reform may need
to explain the changes to their accounting policies arising from the adoption of the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform –
Phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Leases. These entities may also need to provide
additional disclosures, including information about risks arising from IBOR reform, how the entity manages transition to the
alternative benchmark rate(s) and quantitative information about derivatives and non-derivatives that have yet to transition.
Our Practical guide to Phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 for interest rate benchmark
(IBOR) reform includes example disclosures which illustrate both ‘phase 1’ and ‘phase 2’ amendments to IFRS 7 for a cash
flow hedge and other financial instruments typical of a corporate entity which applies IFRS 9 to its hedge accounting
relationships.
There were no other amendments to standards that apply from 1 January 2021, see Appendix D, and we have therefore not
disclosed any changes in accounting policies in this publication. However, if an entity did change its accounting policies as
a result of the amendments made in relation to COVID-19-related rent concessions and IBOR Phase 2 and the change had
a material impact on the reported amounts, this would need to be appropriately disclosed.
Climate-related risks could have a significant impact on an entity’s operations and financial performance and users of the
financial statements are increasingly looking for evidence that the entity has incorporated climate risk factors when making
estimates and judgements in the preparation of financial statements. The accounting standards have an overarching
requirement to disclose information that users need for them to understand the impact of particular transactions, other
events and conditions on the entity’s financial position and financial performance. Therefore, in light of the current focus on,
and impact of, climate change, entities should ensure that they have undertaken a rigorous assessment to provide all the
material and relevant information affecting the financial statements.
The IASB has issued educational material which contains a non-exhaustive list of examples regarding how climate risk
might affect the measurement and disclosure requirements of various standards and the various paragraphs of those
standards that might be referenced in determining how to incorporate such risks. The material also discusses materiality
and while it does not add or change the requirements in the standards, it is useful material that users and preparers might
benefit from when preparing and assessing IFRS financial statements.
Our dedicated climate change website provides useful industry specific information and links to guidance from standard-
setters and other organisations.

Early adoption of standards
VALUE IFRS Plc generally only adopts standards early if they clarify existing practice, such as the amendments made by
the IASB as part of the improvements programme, but do not introduce substantive changes.
As required under IFRS, the impacts of standards and interpretations that have not been early adopted and that are
expected to have a material effect on the entity are disclosed in accounting policy note 25(a). A summary of all
pronouncements relevant for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2021 is included in Appendix D. For
updates after the cut-off date for our publication, see www.viewpoint.pwc.com.
The source for each disclosure requirement is given in the reference column. Shading in this column indicates changes
made as a result of new or revised requirements that become applicable for the first time this year and improvements are
identified as ‘revised illustration’ in the reference column, but not shaded. There is also commentary that (i) explains some
of the more challenging areas, (ii) lists disclosures that have not been included because they are not relevant to VALUE
IFRS Plc, and (iii) provides additional disclosure examples.
The appendices give further information about the operating and financial review (management commentary), alternative
formats for the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows, and industry-
specific disclosures. A summary of all standards that apply for the first time to annual reports beginning on or after 1
January 2021 is included in Appendix D, and abbreviations used in this publication are listed in Appendix E.
As VALUE IFRS Plc is an existing preparer of IFRS consolidated financial statements, IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of
International Financial Reporting Standards does not apply.
The example disclosures are not the only acceptable form of presenting financial statements. Alternative presentations may
be acceptable if they comply with the specific disclosure requirements prescribed in IFRS.
Some of the disclosures in this publication would likely be immaterial if VALUE IFRS Plc was a ‘real life’ company. The
purpose of this publication is to provide a broad selection of illustrative disclosures which cover most common scenarios
encountered in practice. The underlying story of the company only provides the framework for these disclosures and the
amounts disclosed are for illustrative purposes only. Disclosures should not be included where they are not relevant or not
material in specific circumstances. Guidance on assessing materiality is provided in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements and the non-mandatory IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements.
Preparers of financial reports should also consider local legal and regulatory requirements, which may stipulate additional
disclosures that are not illustrated in this publication.
Format
To demonstrate what companies could do to improve the readability of their financial report and make it easier for users to
find the information they need, we have ‘streamlined’ VALUE IFRS Plc’s financial report. In particular:
• Information is organised to clearly tell the story of financial performance and make critical information more
prominent and easier to find.
• Additional information is included where it is important for an understanding of the performance of the company.
For example, we have included a summary of significant transactions and events as the first note to the financial
statements even though this is not a required disclosure.
Accounting policies that are significant and specific to the entity are disclosed along with other relevant information,
generally in the section ‘How the numbers are calculated’. While we have still listed other accounting policies in note 25, this
is for completeness purposes. Entities should consider their own individual circumstances and only include policies that are
relevant to their financial statements.
The structure of financial reports should reflect the particular circumstances of the company and the likely priorities of its
report readers. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach and companies should engage with their investors to determine what
would be most relevant to them. The structure used in this publication is not meant to be used as a template, but to provide
you with possible ideas. It will not necessarily be suitable for all companies.

Specialised companies and industry-specific requirements
VALUE IFRS Plc does not illustrate the disclosures specifically relevant to specialised industries. However, Appendix C
provides an illustration and explanation of the disclosure requirements of IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources and IAS 41 Agriculture. Further examples of industry-specific accounting policies and other relevant disclosures
can be found in the following PwC publications:

Materiality
IAS1(7),(29)-(31),(BC30F) Whether individual items or groups of items need to be disclosed separately in the primary
IFRS PS2
financial statements or in the notes depends on their materiality. Materiality is judged by
reference to the size and nature of the item. The deciding factor is whether the omission or
misstatement could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users
make on the basis of the financial statements. In particular circumstances, either the nature or
the amount of an item or an aggregate of items could be the determining factor. Preparers
generally tend to err on the side of caution and disclose rather too much than too little.
However, the IASB has emphasised that too much immaterial information could obscure useful
information and hence should be avoided. Further guidance on assessing materiality is
provided in the non-mandatory IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements.
Primary financial statements should be read in conjunction with accompanying notes
VALUE IFRS Plc reminds readers by way of a footnote that the primary financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. However, this is not mandatory
and we note that there is mixed practice in this regard.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) may be an appropriate sub-heading to show in the
statement of profit or loss, as it usually distinguishes between the pre-tax profits arising from
operating and from financing activities. In contrast, a subtotal for earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) can only be included where the entity presents its
expenses by nature and the subtotal does not detract from the GAAP numbers, either by
implying that EBITDA is the ‘real’ profit or by overcrowding the statement of profit or loss so
that the reader cannot determine easily the entity’s GAAP performance.
Where an entity presents its expenses by function, it will not be possible to show depreciation
and amortisation as separate line items in arriving at operating profit, because depreciation and
amortisation are types of expense, not functions of the business. In this case, EBITDA can only
be disclosed by way of supplemental information in a box, in a footnote, in the notes or in the
review of operations.
Where an entity discloses alternative performance measures, these should not be given
greater prominence than the IFRS measure of performance. This might be achieved by
including the alternative performance measure in the notes to the financial statements or as a
footnote to the primary financial statement. Where an entity presents such a measure on the
face of the primary statement, it should be clearly identified. Management should determine the
overall adequacy of the disclosures and whether a specific presentation is misleading in the
context of the financial statements as a whole. This judgement might be disclosed as a
significant judgement in accordance with paragraph 122 of IAS 1.
Preparers of financial reports should also consider the view of their local regulator regarding
the use of subtotals and disclosure of non-GAAP measures in the financial report where
applicable. Appendix A provides guidance on the use of non-GAAP measures in the
management commentary.
Operating profit
IAS1(BC56) An entity may elect to include a subtotal for its results from operating activities. While this is
permitted, care must be taken that the amount disclosed is representative of activities that
would normally be considered to be ‘operating’. Items that are clearly of an operating nature,
for example inventory write-downs, restructuring or relocation expenses, must not be excluded
simply because they occur infrequently or are unusual in amount. Similarly, expenses cannot
be excluded on the grounds that they do not involve cash flows (e.g. depreciation or
amortisation). As a general rule, operating profit would be the subtotal after ‘other expenses’,
i.e. excluding finance costs and the share of profits of equity-accounted investments.
Re-ordering of line items
IAS1(86) Entities should re-order the line items and change the descriptions of those items where this is
necessary to explain the elements of performance. However, entities are again governed by
the overall requirement for a ‘fair presentation’ and should not make any changes unless there
is a good reason to do so. For example, it will generally be acceptable to present finance cost
as the last item before pre-tax profit, thereby separating financing activities from the activities
that are being financed.
Another example is the share of profit of associates and joint ventures. Normally, this would be
shown after finance cost. However, there may be circumstances where the line item showing
the investor’s share of the results is included before finance cost. This could be appropriate
where the associates and joint ventures are an integral vehicle through which the group
conducts its operations and its strategy. In such cases, it may also be appropriate either to
insert a subtotal ‘profit before finance costs’ or to include the share of profits from associates
and joint ventures in arriving at operating profit (where disclosed).
IAS1(82)(c), However, the share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using
IFRS15(Appendix A)
the equity method should not be included as part of the entity’s revenue. Combining the entity’s
share of the associate’s revenue with its own revenue would be inconsistent with the balance
sheet treatment where the entity’s investment is presented as a separate line item. This is
different from the accounting for joint operations where the entity combines its share of the joint
operation’s revenue with its own. Where a group conducts a significant proportion of its
business through equity-accounted investments and wishes to highlight that fact to the reader
of the statement of comprehensive income, it may choose to give additional financial
information by way of a footnote and cross-reference to the notes.
Discontinued operations
IFRS5(33)(a),(b) Entities shall disclose a single amount in the statement of comprehensive income (or separate
IAS1(82)(ea)
statement of profit or loss) comprising the total of: (i) the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued
operations, and (ii) the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value less
costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued
operation. An analysis of this single amount is also required by paragraph 33 of IFRS 5 Non-
current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. This analysis may be presented in
the notes or in the statement of comprehensive income (separate statement of profit or loss).
In the case of VALUE IFRS Plc it is presented in note 15. If it is presented in the statement of
profit or loss it must be presented in a section identified as relating to discontinued operations;
that is, separately from continuing operations. The analysis is not required for disposal groups
that are newly acquired subsidiaries that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale on
acquisition (see paragraph 11 of IFRS 5).
Earnings per share
IAS33(73) While entities are permitted to disclose earnings per share based on alternative measures of
earnings, these must be presented in the notes to the financial statements only (see note 22).
IAS33(68) An entity that reports a discontinued operation must disclose the basic and diluted amounts per
share for the discontinued operation either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the
notes to the financial statements. VALUE IFRS Plc provides this information in note 22.
Components of other comprehensive income
IAS1(7) Components of other comprehensive income (OCI) are items of income and expense
(including reclassification adjustments, see para 28 below) that are specifically required or
permitted by other IFRS to be included in other comprehensive income and are not recognised
in profit or loss. They include:
(a) revaluation gains and losses relating to property, plant and equipment or intangible assets
(b) remeasurements of net defined benefit liabilities/(assets)
(c) gains and losses arising from translating the financial statements of a foreign operation
(d) gains and losses on remeasuring financial assets that are measured or designated as at
fair value through other comprehensive income
(e) the effective portion of gains and losses on hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge
(f) for particular liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the change in the
fair value that is attributable to changes in the liability’s credit risk
(g) changes in the value of the time value of options, in the value of the forward elements of
forward contracts and in the value of the foreign currency basis spread of financial
instruments, where these are not included in the designation of the related instruments as
hedging instruments
(h) the investor’s share of the other comprehensive income of equity-accounted
investments, and
(i) current and deferred tax credits and charges in respect of items recognised in other
comprehensive income.
IAS1(82A) Items of OCI must be classified by nature and grouped into those which may be reclassified
and those that will not be reclassified to profit or loss. The share of OCI of equity accounted
investments must be presented in total for the share of items that may be reclassified and the
share that will not be reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period.
IFRS9(6.5.11)(d)(iii) In our view, only items that are prohibited from being reclassified to profit or loss should be
presented as items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss. For cash flow hedges, there is a
possibility that some or all of the amounts might need to be reclassified to profit or loss. This
could be the case, e.g. if there is a cumulative loss on the hedging instrument and the entity
does not expect that all or a portion of the loss will be recovered. As a consequence, gains or
losses recognised in relation to cash flow hedging instruments should be presented as items
that ‘may be reclassified’ to profit or loss.

See commentary paras 1 to 3 on
page 23.
Discontinued operations
IFRS 5 is unclear as to whether entities need to separate out items of other comprehensive
income between continuing and discontinued operations. We believe that it would be
consistent with the principles of IFRS 5 to do so, as it would provide a useful base for
predicting the future results of the continuing operations. We also note that entities must
IFRS5(38) present separately any cumulative income or expense recognised in other comprehensive
income that relates to a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale.
Information to be presented either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes
Material items of income and expense
IAS1(97) Where items of income and expense are material, their nature and amount must be disclosed
separately either in the statement of comprehensive income (statement of profit or loss) or in
the notes. In the case of VALUE IFRS Plc these disclosures are made in note 4.
IAS1(86),(97) IAS 1 does not provide a specific name for the types of items that should be separately
disclosed. Where an entity discloses a separate category of ‘significant’ or ‘unusual’ items
either in its statement of comprehensive income or in the notes, the accounting policy note
should include a definition of the chosen term. The presentation and definition of these items
must be applied consistently from year to year.
Where an entity classifies its expenses by nature, it must take care to ensure that each class of
expenses includes all items related to that class. Material restructuring cost may, for example,
include redundancy payments (i.e. employee benefit cost), inventory write-downs (changes in
inventory) and impairments in property, plant and equipment. It would not be acceptable to
show restructuring costs as a separate line item in an analysis of expenses by nature where
there is an overlap with other line items.
Entities that classify their expenses by function will have to include the material items within the
function to which they relate. In this case, material items can be disclosed as footnote or in the
notes to the financial statements.
Reclassification adjustments
IAS1(92),(94) An entity shall also disclose separately any reclassification adjustments relating to components
of other comprehensive income either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the
notes. VALUE IFRS Plc provides this information in note 9(c).
IAS1(7),(95),(96) Reclassification adjustments are amounts reclassified to profit or loss in the current period that
were recognised in other comprehensive income in the current or previous periods. They arise,
for example, on disposal of a foreign operation and when a hedged forecast transaction affects
profit or loss. They do not arise on the disposal of property, plant and equipment measured at
fair value under the revaluation model or on the settlement of defined benefit pension
schemes. While these components are also recognised in OCI, they are not reclassified to
profit or loss in subsequent periods. Reclassification adjustments also do not arise in relation
to cash flow hedge accounting, where amounts are removed from the cash flow hedge
reserve, or a separate component of equity, and are included directly in the initial cost or other
carrying amount of an asset or liability. These amounts are directly transferred to assets or
liabilities.
Dividends: statement of changes in equity or notes only
IAS1(107) The amount of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period, and the
related amount per share must be presented either in the statement of changes in equity or in
the notes. In the case of VALUE IFRS Plc these disclosures are made in note 13(b).
Classification of expenses
By nature or function
IAS1(99),(100) An analysis of expenses shall be presented using a classification based on either the nature of
expenses or their function within the entity, whichever provides information that is reliable and
more relevant. Entities are encouraged, but not required, to present the analysis of expenses
in the statement of comprehensive income (or statement of profit or loss, where applicable).
IAS1(105) The choice of classification between nature and function will depend on historical and industry
factors and the nature of the entity. The entity should choose the classification that provides
the most relevant and reliable information about its financial performance.
Within a functional statement of comprehensive income (statement of profit or loss), costs
directly associated with generating revenues should be included in cost of sales. Cost of sales
should include direct material and labour costs but also indirect costs that can be directly
attributed to generating revenue, e.g. depreciation of assets used in the production.
Impairment charges should be classified according to how the depreciation or amortisation of
the particular asset is classified. Entities should not mix functional and natural classifications of
expenses by excluding certain expenses, such as inventory write-downs, employee
termination benefits and impairment charges, from the functional classifications to which they
relate. An exception is impairment charges on financial and contract assets, which must be
presented separately as per paragraph 82(ba) of IAS 1 if they are material.
IAS1(104),(105) Entities classifying expenses by function shall disclose additional information about the nature
of their expenses in the notes to the financial statements, see note 5(c). According to IAS 1
this includes disclosure of depreciation, amortisation and employee benefits expense. Other
classes of expenses should also be disclosed where they are material, as this information
assists users in predicting future cash flows.
We have illustrated a classification of expenses by nature on the face of the statement of profit
or loss in Appendix B.
Materiality
IAS1(29) Regardless of whether expenses are classified by nature or by function, materiality applies to
the classification of expenses. Each material class should be separately disclosed, and
unclassified expenses (e.g. as ‘other expenses’) should be immaterial both individually and in
aggregate.
The classification of expenses may vary with the type of expense. For example, where
expenses are classified by nature, wages and salaries paid to employees involved in research
and development (R&D) activities would be classified as employee benefits expense, while
amounts paid to external organisations for R&D would be classified as external R&D expense.
However, where expenses are classified by function, both the wages and salaries and external
payments should be classified as R&D expense.
Offsetting
IAS1(32) Assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, must not be offset unless required or
permitted by an IFRS. Examples of income and expenses that are required or permitted to be
offset are as follows:
IAS1(34)(a) (a) Gains and losses on the disposal of non-current assets, including investments and
operating assets, are reported by deducting from the proceeds on disposal the carrying
amount of the asset and related selling expenses.
IAS1(34)(b) (b) Expenditure related to a provision that is recognised in accordance with IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and reimbursed under a
contractual arrangement with a third party (e.g. a supplier’s warranty agreement) may be
netted against the related reimbursement.
IAS1(35) (c) Gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions are reported on a net basis
(e.g. foreign exchange gains and losses or gains and losses arising on financial
instruments held for trading). Such gains and losses are, however, reported separately if
they are material.
Income which falls under the scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
cannot be netted off against related expenses. However, this does not preclude an entity from
presenting interest income followed by interest expense and a subtotal such as ‘net interest
expense’ on the face of the statement of profit or loss, as we have done in this publication.

items in the balance sheet. However, contract assets, contract liabilities and receivables do not
have to be referred to as such and do not need to be presented separately in the balance
sheet, as long as the entity provides sufficient information so users of financial statements can
distinguish them from other items.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
IFRS16(47) Right-of-use assets (except those meeting the definition of investment property) and lease
liabilities do not need to be presented as a separate line item in the balance sheet, as done by
VALUE IFRS Plc, as long as they are disclosed separately in the notes. Where right-of-use
assets are presented within the same line item as the corresponding underlying assets would
be presented if they were owned, the lessee must identify which line items in the balance sheet
include those right-of-use assets.
IFRS16(48) Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property must be presented in the
balance sheet as investment property.

There is no requirement to disclose a summary of significant events and transactions that have
affected the company’s financial position and performance during the period under review. We
believe that information such as this would help readers understand the entity’s performance
and any changes to the entity’s financial position during the year and make it easier to find the
relevant information. However, information such as this could also be provided in the
(unaudited) operating and financial review rather than the (audited) notes to the financial
statements.
At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on the
financial statements of entities all around the world. Many entities will be affected in one form or
another and should discuss the impact prominently in their financial statements. However, as
the impact varies significantly between entities and countries, this publication is not providing
any illustrative examples or guidance. Instead, we are referring our readers to our dedicated
COVID-19 web site, which provides many useful resources, including disclosure examples, and
which is constantly being updated to reflect latest developments.
Disclosures not illustrated: going concern disclosures
IAS1(25) When preparing financial statements, management shall make an assessment of an entity’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Financial statements shall be prepared on a going
concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so. When management is aware, in making its
assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, those uncertainties shall be
disclosed. Where the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis, that fact
shall be disclosed, together with the basis on which the financial statements are prepared and
the reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern.
Where there are material uncertainties about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,
this fact should be disclosed upfront, e.g. in a note such as this.
A disclosure of material uncertainties about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
should:
ISA570(19)(a) (a) adequately describe the principal events and conditions that give rise to the significant
doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
ISA570(19)(a) (b) explain management’s plans to deal with these events or conditions, and
ISA570(19)(b) (c) state clearly that:
(i) there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and
(ii) the entity may therefore be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in
the normal course of business.
IASB Going concern – a The IASB has issued educational material which explains what entities need to consider when
focus on disclosure
providing the going concern disclosures required by IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements. While the material does not provide any new guidance, it supports entities
preparing financial statements in a stressed economic environment such as the one arising
from the COVID-19 pandemic and reminds entities of the requirements in IAS 1, including the
relevance of the overarching disclosure requirements that interact with the specific going
concern disclosures.
Not mandatory This section provides additional information about those individual line items in the financial
statements that the directors consider most relevant in the context of the operations of the
entity, including:
(a) accounting policies that are relevant for an understanding of the items recognised in the
financial statements. These cover situations where the accounting standards either
allow a choice or do not deal with a particular type of transaction
(b) analysis and subtotals, including segment information, and
(c) information about estimates and judgements made in relation to particular items.

2(a) Description of segments and principal activities 1
IFRS8(22) The group’s strategic steering committee, consisting of the chief executive officer, the chief financial
IAS1(138)(b)
officer and the manager for corporate planning, examines the group’s performance both from a product
and geographic perspective and has identified six reportable segments of its business:
1,2: Furniture manufacturing and wholesale – this part of the business manufactures and sells
commercial office furniture, hardwood side boards, chairs and tables in Oneland and China. The
committee monitors the performance in those two regions separately.
3: Furniture retail – since January 2019, the manufacturing business has been supplemented by a
IFRS8(22)(aa)
chain of retail stores in Oneland. While the committee receives separate reports for each region, the
stores have been aggregated into one reportable segment as they have similar average gross
margins and similar expected growth rates. 1
4,5: IT consulting – business IT management, design, implementation and support services are
provided in the US and in a number of European countries. Performance is monitored separately for
those two regions.
6: Electronic equipment – although this part of the business is not large enough to be required to
be reported under the accounting standards, it has been included here as it is seen as a potential
growth segment which is expected to materially contribute to group revenue in the future. This
segment was established following the acquisition of VALUE IFRS Electronics Group in April 2021.
IFRS8(16),(22) All other segments – the development of residential land, currently in the Someland Canal Estate
in Nicetown and the Mountain Top Estate in Alpville and the ownership of investment properties are
not reportable operating segments, as they are not separately included in the reports provided to
the strategic steering committee. The results of these operations are included in the ‘all other
segments’ column. The column also includes head office and group services.
The engineering subsidiary was sold effective from 1 March 2021. Information about this
discontinued segment is provided in note 15.
The steering committee primarily uses a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation (EBITDA, see below) to assess the performance of the operating segments. However,
the steering committee also receives information about the segments’ revenue and assets on a monthly
basis. Information about segment revenue is disclosed in note 3.
IFRS8(23)
2(b) Adjusted EBITDA 2
IFRS8(27)(b),(28) Adjusted EBITDA excludes discontinued operations and the effects of significant items of income and
expenditure which may have an impact on the quality of earnings such as restructuring costs, legal
expenses and impairments where the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. It
also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and unrealised gains or losses on
financial instruments.
Interest income and finance cost are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the
central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the group.

2(f) Restatements for error 5
Due to a computational error, segment assets of the Oneland Furniture manufacturing and wholesale
segment for the year ended 31 December 2020 were overstated by CU1,550,000. The error also
increased depreciation charged for the prior year but did not affect adjusted EBITDA. It has been
corrected by restating the affected segment information line item for the prior year. Further information
on the error is set out in note 11(b).
Segment information
Description of segments
IFRS8(22) Entities shall disclose factors used to identify its reportable segments, including the basis of
organisation, and types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives
its revenues. They must also disclose the judgements made by management in applying the
aggregation criteria of the standard, including a description of the aggregated segments and
the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments
share similar economic characteristics.
Non-GAAP segment measures
IFRS8(25),(27) The measure of profit or loss that must be disclosed is the measure that is reported to the chief
operating decision maker (CODM). The standard is not prescriptive as to how this measure
should be calculated, and a non-GAAP or non-IFRS measure is acceptable, as long as it is
clear from the disclosures how the measure is calculated and there is a detailed reconciliation
of the disclosed measure to the respective IFRS amount. Having said that, entities will also
need to consider the view of their local regulator on the use of non-GAAP segment measures in
the financial report (see Appendix A for further guidance).
Other profit and loss disclosures
IFRS8(23) The disclosure of other profit and loss items, such as depreciation, amortisation and income tax
by segment, is only required where these amounts are reviewed by, or are otherwise regularly
provided to, the CODM.
Using graphs to disclose quantitative information
There is nothing in the segment standard or any other IFRS that would appear to prohibit the
use of graphics for disclosing quantitative information. However, entities will need to confirm
whether this is acceptable under their own local regulatory requirements.
Errors and changes in accounting policies
IFRS 8 does not provide any guidance on how to deal with the correction of errors and changes
in accounting policies in the segment disclosures. Management may decide not to restate
comparative information and may not adjust segment measures for changes made to the
accounting policies. In this case, the impact of the error or changes in accounting policies will
be disclosed in the reconciliation to the reported results. Where the entity has restated prior
year segment information and the adjustments are material, information about the adjustments
is likely to be relevant to the understanding of segment information, and disclosure along the
lines of that shown in the illustrative note may be necessary to adequately explain the
information presented. Likewise, entities may consider disclosing the impact of changes in
accounting policies on the current period where comparatives have not been restated.
Changes made to the measurement methods adopted in preparing the segment information will
need to be disclosed under paragraph 27(e) of IFRS 8.
Discontinued operations
IFRS 8 does not provide guidance as to whether segment disclosures apply to discontinued
operations. VALUE IFRS Plc has not disclosed the results of the discontinued operation within
the segment disclosures. This decision was based on the fact that the CODM did not
separately review the results of this division since the decision to dispose of it. A discontinued
operation should be presented within the segment note if it meets the quantitative threshold for
disclosure and if the CODM reviews the results of the division.

IFRS15(116)(a) Total current contract liabilities 1,982 1,525 655
IFRS15(120)(b),(122) Management expects that 60% of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance
obligations as of 31 December 2021 will be recognised as revenue during the next reporting period
(CU5,328,000). The remaining 40% (CU3,553,000) will be recognised in the 2023 financial year. The
amount disclosed above does not include variable consideration which is constrained.
IFRS15(121),(122) All other IT consulting contracts are for periods of one year or less or are billed based on time
incurred. As permitted under IFRS 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is
not disclosed.
IFRS15(95),(127) In December 2020, the group incurred costs of CU520,000 in respect of data transfer for the set-up of
an IT platform relating to a long-term IT contract. The costs relate directly to the contract, generate
resources that will be used in satisfying the contract and are expected to be recovered. They were
therefore recognised as an asset from costs to fulfil a contract. The asset is amortised on a straight-
IAS36(126)(a) line basis over the term of the specific contract it relates to, consistent with the pattern of recognition
of the associated revenue. Due to an increase in expected costs by 30% in the financial year 2021,
management does not expect the capitalised costs to be completely recovered. An impairment loss of
CU77,000 has therefore been recognised for the excess of the capitalised cost over the expected
remaining consideration, less any directly related costs not yet recognised as expense.
IFRS15(119)
3(c) Accounting policies and significant judgements 5-6
(i) Sale of goods – wholesale
IFRS15(119)(a),(c), The group manufactures and sells a range of furniture and electronic equipment in the wholesale
(123)(a),(125)
market. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products
are delivered to the wholesaler, the wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the
products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the wholesaler’s acceptance of the
products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of
obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the wholesaler and either the wholesaler has
accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed
or the group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
IFRS15(119)(b),(d),(e) The furniture is often sold with retrospective volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12-
(123)(b),(126)
month period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net
of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the
discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is
highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability (included in trade and other
payables) is recognised for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made
until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed present as the sales
are made with a credit term of 30 days, which is consistent with market practice. The group’s
obligation to repair or replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a
provision, see note 8(i).
IFRS15(117) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the
consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
IFRS15(123),(126)(a),(b)
Critical judgements in recognising revenue
The group has recognised revenue amounting to CU2,950,000 for sale of furniture to a wholesale
customer in December 2021. The buyer has the right to rescind the sale if there is 5%
dissatisfaction with the quality of the first 100 pieces of furniture sold. This specific concession was
made because this is a new product line specifically designed for this customer. However,
consistent with other contracts, the group does not have a right to payment until the furniture has
been delivered to the customer. Based on the quality assurance system implemented, the group is
confident that the quality of the product is such that the dissatisfaction rate will be well below 5%.
Management has determined that it is highly probable that there will be no rescission of the
contract, and that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognised will not occur. It is
therefore appropriate to recognise revenue on this transaction during 2021 as control of the product
is transferred to the customer. The profit recognised for this sale was CU1,625,000. The group
would suffer an estimated pre-tax loss of CU1,760,000 in its 2022 financial statements if the sale is
cancelled (CU1,625,000 for the reversal of 2021 profits and CU135,000 of costs connected with
returning the stock to the warehouse).
In 2020, the group did not recognise revenue of CU280,000 in relation to a wholesale contract with
volume discounts for a new customer and new product line. The group did not have any experience
with the customer’s purchase pattern and the product line. Management therefore determined that it
was not highly probable that a portion of the revenue will not reverse. Of the CU280,000 of revenue
not recognised in 2020, CU150,000 was recognised in the current financial year based on the
actual volume sold for the contract period, see (b)(ii) above.
IFRS15(119)
3(c) Accounting policies and significant judgements
(iii) Sale of goods – customer loyalty programme
IFRS15(119)(a),(c),(120)(b), The group operates a loyalty programme where retail customers accumulate points for purchases
(125)
made which entitle them to a discount on future purchases. A contract liability for the award points is
recognised at the time of the sale. Revenue is recognised when the points are redeemed or when
they expire 12 months after the initial sale.
IFRS15(123)(b),(126)(c)
Critical judgements in allocating the transaction price
The points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a
contract. Therefore, the promise to provide points to the customer is a separate performance
obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone
selling price basis. Management estimates the stand-alone selling price per point on the basis of
the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of
redemption, based on past experience.
The stand-alone selling price of the product sold is estimated on the basis of the retail price.
Discounts are not considered as they are only given in rare circumstances.
IFRS15(117) A contract liability is recognised until the points are redeemed or expire.
IFRS15(119)
3(c) Accounting policies and significant judgements
(v) Land development and resale
IFRS15(119)(a),(c) The group develops and sells residential properties. Revenue is recognised when control over the
(123),(125)
property has been transferred to the customer. The properties have generally no alternative use for the
group due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until
legal title has passed to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the
legal title has passed to the customer.
IFRS15(117),(119)(b) The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. In most cases, the
(123)(b),(126),(129),(63)
consideration is due when legal title has been transferred. While deferred payment terms may be
agreed in rare circumstances, the deferral never exceeds 12 months. The transaction price is therefore
not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component.
Objectives
IFRS15(110) Users of the financial statements should be given sufficient information to understand the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with
customers. To achieve this, entities must provide qualitative and quantitative information about
their contracts with customers, significant judgements made in applying IFRS 15 and any
assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with customers.
Disaggregation of revenue
IFRS15(114), Entities must disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict
(B87)-(B89)
how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by
economic factors. It will depend on the specific circumstances of each entity as to how much
detail is disclosed. VALUE IFRS Plc has determined that a disaggregation of revenue using
existing segments and the timing of the transfer of goods or services (at a point in time vs over
time) is adequate for its circumstances. However, this is a judgement and will not necessarily
be appropriate for other entities.
Other categories that could be used as basis for disaggregation include:
(a) type of good or service (e.g. major product lines)
(b) geographical regions
(c) market or type of customer
(d) type of contract (e.g. fixed price vs time-and-materials contracts)
(e) contract duration (short-term vs long-term contracts), or
(f) sales channels (directly to customers vs wholesale).
IFRS15(B88) When selecting categories for the disaggregation of revenue entities should also consider how
their revenue is presented for other purposes, e.g. in earnings releases, annual reports or
investor presentations, and what information is regularly reviewed by the chief operating
IFRS15(115) decision makers. Where revenue is disaggregated on a basis other than reportable segments,
the entity must disclose sufficient information so users of its financial statements can
understand the relationship between the disaggregated revenue and the revenue information
that is disclosed for each reportable segment.
Accounting policies and significant judgements
As explained on page 28, it is helpful for readers of the financial report if the notes for specific
line items in the financial statements also set out:
(a) information about accounting policies that are specific to the entity and that explain how
the line items are determined, and
(b) information about significant judgements and estimates applied in relation to line items.
However, this format is not mandatory.
A full list of all accounting policies is provided in note 25 together with relevant commentary.
Detailed commentary regarding the disclosure of significant judgements and estimates is
provided in note 11.

IAS1(97),(98) Where items of income and expense are material, their nature and amount shall be disclosed
separately either in the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of profit or loss
(where applicable) or in the notes. Circumstances that would give rise to the separate
disclosure of items of income and expense include:
(a) write-downs of inventories to net realisable value or of property, plant and equipment to
recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs
(b) restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the costs of
restructuring
(c) disposals of items of property, plant and equipment
(d) disposals of investments
(e) discontinued operations (see note 15)
(f) litigation settlements
(g) other reversals of provisions, and
(h) gains or losses recognised in relation to a business combination.
Material items do not need to be presented in a separate note. However, in our view it will be
easier for users to assess the impact of such items on the entity’s performance if this
information is presented together.

This note provides a breakdown of other income, other gains/losses and an analysis of
expenses by nature, but it does not show all of the profit and loss amounts that must be
disclosed under various accounting standards. Instead, individual profit and loss items are now
disclosed together with the relevant information to which they belong. For example, gains or
losses related to various financial instruments held by the group are disclosed together with the
balance sheet amounts. We believe that this presentation is more useful for users of the
financial statements.
Employee benefits expenses
IAS19(25),(158),(171) Although IAS 19 Employee Benefits does not require specific disclosures about employee
benefits other than post-employment benefits, other standards may require disclosures, for
example, where the expense resulting from such benefits is material and so would require
disclosure under paragraph 97 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Similarly,
termination benefits may result in an expense needing disclosure in order to comply with
paragraph 97 of IAS 1.

The unused tax losses were incurred by a dormant subsidiary that is not likely to generate taxable
income in the foreseeable future. They can be carried forward indefinitely. See note 8(e) for information
about recognised tax losses and significant judgements made in relation to them.
Temporary differences of CU2,190,000 (2020 – CU1,980,000) have arisen as a result of the translation
of the financial statements of the group’s subsidiary in China. However, a deferred tax liability has not
been recognised as the liability will only crystallise in the event of disposal of the subsidiary, and no
such disposal is expected in the foreseeable future. 7
VALUE IFRS Retail Limited has undistributed earnings of CU1,350,000 (2020 – nil) which, if paid out
as dividends, would be subject to tax in the hands of the recipient. An assessable temporary difference
exists, but no deferred tax liability has been recognised as VALUE IFRS Plc is able to control the timing
of distributions from this subsidiary and is not expected to distribute these profits in the foreseeable
future.

Financial liabilities Notes CU’000 CU’000
IFRS7(36)(a),(31),(34)(c) The group’s exposure to various risks associated with the financial instruments is discussed in note 12.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each
class of financial assets mentioned above.
IAS1(117)
(i) Classification as trade receivables 2,3
IFRS7(21) Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the
IFRS9(5.1.3),(4.1.2),(5.4.1)
ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all
classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is
unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair
value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows
and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Details about the group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in
note 12(c).
Revised illustration Management considers that in substance the factor collects the amounts receivable on the entity’s
behalf and retains the cash in settlement of the separate financing transaction. The group therefore
presents the cash inflows received from the bank as financing cash inflows and the subsequent
payments by the debtor as both operating cash inflows and financing cash outflows.
IFRS7(25),(29)(a) Due to the short-term nature of the other current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to
IFRS13(97),(93)(b),(d)
be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables, the fair values are also
not significantly different from their carrying amounts. An exception is the loans to key management
personnel, which have a fair value of CU481,000 as at 31 December 2021, compared to a carrying
amount of CU551,000 (2020 – fair value of CU424,000 and carrying amount of CU480,000).
The fair values were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are
classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs
including counterparty credit risk (see note 7(h) below).
IFRS7(21) On disposal of these equity investments, any related balance within the FVOCI reserve is
IFRS9(B5.7.1)
reclassified to retained earnings. Note 25(o) sets out the remaining accounting policies.
Trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
IFRS7(29)(a) The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values,
IFRS13(97),(93)(b),(d)
due to their short-term nature. 8-9
IAS1(117)
(i) Refund liabilities
IFRS15(55),(B20)-(B27) Where a customer has a right to return a product within a given period, the group recognises a refund
liability for the amount of consideration received for which the entity does not expect to be entitled
(CU221,000; 2020 – CU110,000). The group also recognises a right to the returned goods measured
by reference to the former carrying amount of the goods (CU76,000 as at 31 December 2021 and
CU38,000 as at 31 December 2020; see note 8(g)). The costs to recover the products are not material
because the customers usually return them in a saleable condition.
Refund liabilities are further recognised for volume discounts payable to wholesale customers
(CU269,000; 2020 – CU125,000). Note 3(c) has further explanations about both types of refund
liabilities.

7(g) Borrowings
(i) Secured liabilities and assets pledged as security
IFRS7(7),(14)(b),(42D) Of the bank loans, CU3,100,000 relate to transferred receivables (see note 7(a)(ii)). The remaining
bank loans and overdrafts are secured by first mortgages over the group’s freehold land and buildings,
including those classified as investment properties.
The debentures were secured by a floating charge over the assets of VALUE IFRS Plc.
Lease liabilities are effectively secured, as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the financial
statements revert to the lessor in the event of default.
The other loans are secured by a negative pledge that imposes certain covenants on the subsidiary
that has received those loans. The negative pledge states that (subject to certain exceptions) the
subsidiary will not provide any other security over its assets, and will ensure that the following financial
ratios are met:
• debt will not, at any time, exceed 50% of total tangible assets, and
• borrowing costs will not exceed 50% of earnings before borrowing costs and taxation for each half-
year period.
IFRS7(14)(a) The carrying amounts of financial and non-financial assets pledged as security for current and non-
current borrowings are disclosed in note 24.

IAS32(17),(18),(28),(29), The initial fair value of the liability portion of the bond was determined using a market interest rate for
(AG31)(a)
an equivalent non-convertible bond at the issue date. The liability is subsequently recognised on an
amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the
proceeds is allocated to the conversion option and recognised in shareholders’ equity, net of income
tax, and not subsequently remeasured.
7(g) Borrowings
(v) Repurchase of debentures
IFRS7(7) During the reporting period, VALUE IFRS Plc repurchased the remaining outstanding debentures for a
IFRS9(3.3.3)
lump sum payment of CU1,605,000. The carrying amount of the debentures at the time of the payment
IFRS7(20)(a)(v) was CU2,000,000 and costs incurred were CU40,000, resulting in a net gain on settlement of
CU355,000, which is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss.
IFRS13(97),(93)(b),(d) The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current
borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy (see note 7(h)) due
to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.
IFRS13(93)(h)(i) * There were no significant inter-relationships between unobservable inputs that materially affect fair values.
IFRS13(93)(g)
(vi) Valuation processes
The finance department of the group includes a team that performs the valuations of non-property
items required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly
to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the audit committee (AC). Discussions of valuation processes
and results are held between the CFO, AC and the valuation team at least once every six months, in
line with the group’s half-yearly reporting periods.
The main level 3 inputs used by the group are derived and evaluated as follows:
• Discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset
pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
• Risk adjustments specific to the counterparties (including assumptions about credit default rates)
are derived from credit risk gradings determined by VALUE IFRS Plc’s internal credit risk
management group.
• Earnings growth factors for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information
for similar types of companies.
• Contingent consideration – expected cash inflows are estimated based on the terms of the sale
contract (see note 15) and the entity’s knowledge of the business and how the current economic
environment is likely to impact it.
Changes in level 2 and level 3 fair values are analysed at the end of each reporting period during the
half-yearly valuation discussion between the CFO, AC and the valuation team. As part of this
discussion the team presents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movements.
Fair value disclosures: financial instruments carried at other than fair value
IFRS7(25),(29) An entity shall disclose the fair value for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities in
a way that permits it to be compared with its carrying amount. However, fair values do not
need to be disclosed for the following:
(a) where the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value (e.g. for cash,
short-term trade receivables and payables)
(b) a contract containing a discretionary participation feature (as described in IFRS 4
Insurance Contracts) where the fair value of that feature cannot be measured reliably, or
(c) for lease liabilities.
Guidance on what are appropriate classes of financial assets and liabilities is given in
paragraph 6 of IFRS 7, see commentary paragraph 1 to note 12.
Carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value
A statement that the carrying amount of financial assets or financial liabilities is a reasonable
approximation of their fair value should only be made if it can be substantiated. That is, entities
must have made a formal assessment of the carrying amounts of their financial assets and
liabilities in comparison to their fair values and documented this assessment. If the fair values
are not a reasonable approximation of the carrying amounts, the fair values must be disclosed.
Holding more than 50% of voting rights without control
IFRS12(7),(9)(a) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities requires disclosure of the reasons why the
ownership, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, of more than half of the voting or potential
voting power of an investee does not constitute control. We have used the example of a
corporate trustee for one of the group’s pension plans to illustrate this requirement. While the
shares in these trustee companies are commonly held by the employer sponsor of the plan,
the trustee company will not usually be controlled by the employer sponsor under the
principles in IFRS 10, as the employer will not have the power to direct the relevant activities of
the trustee company and will not be exposed, or have rights, to variable returns. However, in
many cases, these types of entities will not be significant to the group’s financial position and
performance. Where this is the case, disclosure would not be necessary because of
materiality.
Financial liabilities
Terms and conditions of financial instruments
IFRS7(7),(31) Entities shall disclose sufficient information that enables users of its financial statements to
evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance, and
the nature and extent of risks arising from these financial instruments. However, the intention
of IFRS 7 was to decrease the potentially voluminous disclosures that were required by IAS 32
and replace them with shorter but more meaningful information. Under normal circumstances,
entities will therefore not need to disclose the significant terms and conditions for each of their
major borrowings. Having said that, if an entity has a borrowing (or other financial instrument)
with unusual terms and conditions, it should provide sufficient information to enable users to
assess the nature and extent of risks associated with these instruments.
Fair value measurements
Classes of assets and liabilities
IFRS13(94) The disclosures in IFRS 13 must be made separately for each class of assets and liabilities.
Entities shall determine appropriate classes of assets and liabilities by considering:
(a) the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability, and
(b) the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is
categorised.
IFRS13(94) A class of assets and liabilities will often require greater disaggregation than the line items
presented in the balance sheet. The number of classes may also need to be greater for fair
value measurements categorised within level 3 of the hierarchy, as those measurements have
a greater degree of uncertainty and subjectivity. Entities shall disclose sufficient information to
allow a reconciliation back to the line items disclosed in the balance sheet.
IFRS7(11)(a) The company determines the amount of fair value changes which are attributable to
credit risk by first determining the changes due to market conditions which give rise to
market risk, and then deducting those changes from the total change in fair value of
the convertible debentures. Market conditions which give rise to market risk include
changes in the benchmark interest rate. Fair value movements on the conversion
option embedded derivative are included in the assessment of market risk fair value
changes.
IFRS7(11)(b) The company believes that this approach most faithfully represents the amount of
change in fair value due to the company’s own credit risk, as the changes in factors
contributing to the fair value of the convertible debentures other than changes in the
benchmark interest rate are not deemed to be significant.
Defaults and breaches in relation to financial liabilities
IFRS7(18) (c) Example disclosures for a default in relation to a borrowing could read as follows:
In the third quarter, the group was overdue in paying interest on bank borrowings with
a carrying amount of CU2,000,000. The group experienced a temporary shortage of
cash because cash outflows in the second and third quarters were higher than
anticipated due to business expansions. As a result, interest of CU75,000 was not
paid on the due date of 31 September 2021.
The company has since paid all outstanding amounts (including additional interest
and penalties for late payment) during the fourth quarter.
Management expects that the company will be able to meet all contractual obligations
from borrowings on a timely basis going forward.

(iii) Revaluation, depreciation methods and useful lives 2,3
IAS16(73)(a) Land and buildings are recognised at fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by
external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. A revaluation surplus is
credited to other reserves in shareholders’ equity (note 9(c)). All other property, plant and equipment is
recognised at historical cost less depreciation.
IAS16(50),(73)(b) Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or revalued amounts of the
assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
IAS16(73)(c) • Buildings 25–40 years
• Machinery 10–15 years
• Vehicles 3–5 years
• Furniture, fittings and equipment 3–8 years
Furniture, fittings and equipment include assets received in the form of free store fit outs which are
recognised at their fair value. These assets and other leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of their useful life or the lease term, unless the entity expects to use the assets beyond the
lease term.
See note 25(r) for the other accounting policies relevant to property, plant and equipment.
(v) Carrying amounts that would have been recognised if land and buildings were stated at cost
IAS16(77)(e) If freehold land and buildings were stated on the historical cost basis, the amounts would be as follows:

CU3,000,000). 6
IFRS16(53)(g) The total cash outflow for leases in 2021 was CU3,615,000 (2020 – CU2,760,000).
8(b) Leases
IAS1(117)
Revised illustration (iii) The group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for 2,3,8
IFRS16(59)(a),(c) The group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and vehicles. Rental contracts
are typically made for fixed periods of six months to eight years but may have extension options as
described in (v) below.
Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The group allocates the consideration in
IFRS16(15) the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.
However, for leases of real estate for which the group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease
and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and
conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the
leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing
purposes.
IFRS16(26) The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be
readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
8,9
IAS1(112)(c) To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the group:
• where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting
point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third-party financing was received
• uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases
held by VALUE IFRS Retail Limited, which does not have recent third-party financing, and
• makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.
If a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent
financing or market data) which has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the group entities use
that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental borrowing rate.
IFRS16(38) The group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or
rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease
payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against
the right-of-use asset.
IFRS16(35) Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease
term on a straight-line basis. If the group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-
of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. While the group revalues its land and
buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the
right-of-use buildings held by the group.
IFRS16(60) Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value
assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are
leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase option. Low-value assets comprise IT
equipment and small items of office furniture.
Revised illustration See note 25(h) for the other accounting policies relevant to leases.
8(b) Leases
Critical judgements in determining the lease term
IFRS16(59)(b)(ii),(B50) In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an
economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension
options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is
reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
For leases of warehouses, retail stores and equipment, the following factors are normally the most
relevant:
• If there are significant penalty payments to terminate (or not extend), the group is typically
reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the group is
typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• Otherwise, the group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs
and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.
Most extension options in offices and vehicles leases have not been included in the lease liability,
because the group could replace the assets without significant cost or business disruption.
As at 31 December 2021, potential future cash outflows of CU3,000,000 (undiscounted) have not
been included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that the leases will be
extended (or not terminated) (2020 – CU3,570,000).
IFRS16(20) The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the group
becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only
revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this
assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee. During the current financial year, the financial
effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extension and termination options was
an increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of CU150,000 (2020 – decrease of
CU57,000).
IAS1(117)
(ii) Measuring investment property at fair value
IAS40(75)(a) Investment properties, principally office buildings, are held for long-term rental yields and are not
occupied by the group. They are carried at fair value. Changes in fair values are presented in profit or
loss as part of other income.
IAS40(75)(g)
(iv) Non-current assets pledged as security
See note 24 for information on non-current assets pledged as security by the group.
IAS40(75)(h)
(v) Contractual obligations
Refer to note 18 for disclosure of contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment
property or for repairs, maintenance or enhancements.
IFRS16(92)
(vi) Leasing arrangements
The investment properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with rentals payable monthly.
Revised illustration Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.
Lease payments for some contracts include CPI increases, but there are no other variable lease
payments that depend on an index or rate. Where considered necessary to reduce credit risk, the
group may obtain bank guarantees for the term of the lease. Although the group is exposed to changes
in the residual value at the end of the current leases, the group typically enters into new operating
leases and therefore will not immediately realise any reduction in residual value at the end of these
leases. Expectations about the future residual values are reflected in the fair value of the properties.
IFRS16(97) Minimum lease payments receivable on leases of investment properties are as follows:
2021 2020
CU’000 CU’000
Within 1 year 4,265 4,245
Between 1 and 2 years 2,580 2,520

The directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for other
key assumptions and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the
European IT consulting CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

IAS19(139)(c) In connection with the closure of a factory, a curtailment loss was incurred and a settlement
arrangement agreed with the plan trustees, effective 31 December 2021, which settled all retirement
benefit plan obligations relating to the employees of that factory. In the prior year, the group made minor
amendments to the terms of the plan, resulting in past service cost of CU179,000.

Assumptions regarding future mortality are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published
statistics and experience in each territory. These assumptions translate into an average life expectancy
in years for a pensioner retiring at age 65:

Oneland US Oneland US
Retiring at the end of the reporting period:
Male 22 20 22 20

Retiring 20 years after the end of the reporting period:
Male 24 23 24 23
Female 27 26 27 26
IAS19(145)(b) The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions
may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant
actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated
with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when
calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
IAS19(145)(c) The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the prior period.
IAS19(143) The assets set out in the above table include ordinary shares issued by VALUE IFRS Plc with a fair
value of CU530,000 (2020 – CU410,000) and land and buildings occupied by the group with a fair value
of CU550,000 (2020 – CU580,000).

Restructuring
IAS37(85)(a),(b) The reduction in output in the furniture manufacturing and wholesale division (see note 8(d)) resulted in
the loss of 155 jobs at two factories. An agreement was reached with the local union representatives in
October 2021, which specifies the number of staff involved and the voluntary redundancy compensation
package offered by the group, as well as amounts payable to those made redundant. The total
estimated staff restructuring costs to be incurred are CU1,050,000. Other direct costs attributable to the
restructuring, including costs incurred in relation to the cancellation of supply contracts, are CU327,000.
These costs were fully provided for in the current reporting period. The remaining provision of
CU900,000 is expected to be fully utilised over the next 12 months.
Service warranties
IAS37(85)(a),(b) Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under
warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial
year.
IAS1(125) The group generally offers 12-month warranties for its personal computer products. Management
IFRS15(119)(e)
estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim
information, as well as recent trends that might suggest that past cost information may differ from
future claims. The assumptions made in relation to the current period are consistent with those in the
prior year. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the group’s
productivity and quality initiatives, as well as parts and labour costs. As at 31 December 2021, this
particular provision had a carrying amount of CU330,000 (2020 – CU450,000). If claims costs were to
differ by 10% from management’s estimates, the warranty provisions would be an estimated CU33,000
higher or lower (2020 – CU45,000 higher/lower).
Legal claim
IAS37(85)(a),(b) In October 2021, an unfavourable judgement was handed down against the group in respect of a legal
claim made by a customer of the IT consulting segment. However, after taking appropriate legal advice,
the directors have decided to appeal against the decision. No payment has been made to the claimant
pending outcome of the appeal. If upheld, payment of CU860,000 will be required. The recognised
provision reflects the directors’ best estimate of the most likely outcome. The court of appeal is expected
to consider this matter in August 2022.
See note 25(x) for the group’s other accounting policies relevant to provisions.

IFRS13(95) The group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the
end of the reporting period.
(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine level 2 and level 3 fair values
IFRS13(91)(a),(93)(d) The group obtains independent valuations for its investment properties at least annually and for its
IAS16(77)(a)
IAS40(75)(e) freehold land and buildings related to manufacturing sites (classified as property, plant and equipment)
at least every three years.
At the end of each reporting period, the directors update their assessment of the fair value of each
property, taking into account the most recent independent valuations. The directors determine a
property’s value within a range of reasonable fair value estimates.
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Where such
information is not available the directors consider information from a variety of sources including:
• current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature or recent prices of similar
properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect those differences
• discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows
• capitalised income projections based on a property’s estimated net market income, and a
capitalisation rate derived from an analysis of market evidence.
All resulting fair value estimates for properties are included in level 3 except for land held for resale. The
level 2 fair value of land held for resale has been derived using the sales comparison approach. The key
inputs under this approach are the price per square metre from current year sales of comparable lots of
land in the area (location and size).
IFRS13(93)(h)(i) * There were no significant inter-relationships between unobservable inputs that materially affect fair values.
IFRS13(93)(g)
(vi) Valuation processes
The group engages external, independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of the group’s
investment properties at the end of every financial year, and for other land and buildings at least every
IAS40(75)(e)
three years. As at 31 December 2021, the fair values of the investment properties have been determined
IAS16(77)(a),(b) by ABC Property Surveyors Limited. A directors’ valuation has been performed for the land and buildings
classified as property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2021. The last independent valuation of
these land and buildings was performed as at 31 December 2020.
The main level 3 inputs used by the group are derived and evaluated as follows:
• Leased office buildings – discount rates, terminal yields, expected vacancy rates and rental growth
rates are estimated by ABC Property Surveyors Limited or management based on comparable
transactions and industry data.
• Office building under redevelopment – costs to completion and profit margin are estimated by ABC
Property Surveyors Limited based on market conditions as at 31 December 2021. The estimates
are consistent with the budgets developed internally by the group based on management’s
experience and knowledge of market conditions.
Changes in level 2 and level 3 fair values are analysed at each reporting date during the half-yearly
valuation discussion between the CFO, AC and the valuation team. As part of this discussion, the team
presents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movements.
As the IASB decided not to provide a similar practical expedient to lessors for a number of
reasons, judgement will be needed to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for lease
concessions that are made in the context of COVID-19. For guidance see FAQs 4.6–4.9 in our
COVID-19 In depth 2020–20. Where the concessions are material, lessors should provide
appropriate disclosures and explain the accounting treatment adopted.
Impairment
Impairment testing – disclosure of assumptions
IAS36(132) An entity is encouraged to disclose the assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount
IAS36(134)
IAS1(122),(125) of all significant assets and cash-generating units during the period. However, as a minimum,
paragraph 134 of IAS 36 requires an entity to disclose information about the estimates used to
measure the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit when goodwill or an intangible asset
with an indefinite useful life is included in the carrying amount of that unit. In many cases, the
impairment calculations also involve significant estimates and judgements which should be
highlighted under paragraphs 122 and 125 of IAS 1.
Disclosing the impact of climate-related risks
For guidance on disclosing the impact of climate-related risks in the financial statements please
refer to the commentary to note 11 on page 120.
Prior year recoverable amount calculation
IAS36(136) The most recent detailed calculation made in a preceding period of the recoverable amount of a
cash-generating unit (group of units) may, in accordance with paragraphs 24 or 99 of IAS 36, be
carried forward and used in the impairment test for that unit (group of units) in the current period
provided specified criteria are met. Where this is the case, the information for that unit (group of
units) that is incorporated into the disclosures required by paragraphs 134 and 135 of IAS 36
relate to the carried forward calculation of recoverable amount. A carry-forward of the
recoverable amount calculations will not be appropriate where the entity’s carrying amounts of
the non-current assets are materially affected by the adoption of IFRS 16.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Offsetting
IAS12(74) Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be offset if, and only if:
(a) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities, and
(b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either:
(i) the same taxable entity, or
(ii) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net
basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future
period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to
be settled or recovered.
IAS12(76) The circumstances giving rise to a set-off between entities in a consolidated entity are likely to
be rare unless the entities are part of a tax consolidated group. As disclosed in note 8(e) we
have assumed this to be the case for VALUE IFRS Plc.
Disclosure of reconciliation by type of temporary difference
IAS12(81)(g) IAS 12 requires the following disclosures for each type of temporary difference and in respect of
each type of unused tax loss and tax credit:
(a) the deferred tax balances recognised for each period presented
(b) the amounts of deferred tax income or expense recognised in profit or loss, if this is not
apparent from the changes in the amounts recognised in the balance sheet
This information can be presented in various ways. VALUE IFRS Plc has chosen to provide the
information in the form of a reconciliation by type of temporary difference. However, other
formats are equally acceptable as long as all of the required disclosures are made.
IFRS16(54) Lessee capitalises leasing costs as Ensure the amounts disclosed in note 8(b) under
part of the cost of another asset paragraph 53 of IFRS16 include costs that are
included in the carrying amount of another asset.
IFRS16(55) Portfolio of short-term leases at the Disclose lease commitments for short-term leases

IFRS16(48),(56) Right-of-use assets that meet the Must be presented as investment property. Apply
definition of investment property the disclosure requirements of IAS 40 Investment
Property. Lessees are not required to disclose the
depreciation charge, income from sub-leasing,
additions and the carrying amount by class of
underlying asset at the end of the reporting period
in relation to these assets.
IFRS16(57) Right-of-use assets are measured at Provide the disclosures required by paragraph 77
revalued amount under IAS 16 of IAS 16 in relation to those assets.
The following additional illustrative disclosures may be useful where relevant to an entity:
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
IAS38(122)(a) The trademark used to identify and distinguish (product name; carrying amount CU
2,345,000) has a remaining legal life of five years but is renewable every ten years at little
cost and is well established. The group intends to renew the trademark continuously and
evidence supports its ability to do so. An analysis of product life cycle studies and market
and competitive trends provides evidence that the product will generate net cash inflows
for the group for an indefinite period. Therefore, the trademark is carried at cost without
amortisation, but is tested for impairment in accordance with note 25(j).
Unallocated goodwill
IAS36(133) Shortly before the end of the reporting period, the company acquired XYZ Limited. There
was CUXX of goodwill recognised on acquisition which is yet to be allocated to one or
more CGUs. XYZ’s business will be integrated into the South America and North America
CGUs, but management has not yet finalised the allocation of the goodwill between the
relevant CGUs.

Hedging reserves
IFRS9(6.5.11)(d)(i)
The hedging reserve includes the cash flow hedge reserve and the costs of hedging reserve, see note
12(b) for details. The cash flow hedge reserve is used to recognise the effective portion of gains or
losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, as described in note 25(p).
Amounts are subsequently either transferred to the initial cost of inventory or reclassified to profit or
loss as appropriate.
IFRS9(6.5.15)(b) The group defers the changes in the forward element of forward contracts and the time value of option
contracts in the costs of hedging reserve. These deferred costs of hedging are included in the initial
cost of the related inventory when it is recognised, see note 25(p) for further details.
Share-based payments 8
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise:
• the grant date fair value of options issued to employees but not exercised
• the grant date fair value of shares issued to employees
• the grant date fair value of deferred shares granted to employees but not yet vested
• the issue of shares held by the VALUE IFRS Employee Share Trust to employees.
Transactions with non-controlling interests
This reserve is used to record the differences described in note 25(b)(v) which may arise as a result of
transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control.
Foreign currency translation
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other
comprehensive income, as described in note 25(d), and accumulated in a separate reserve within
equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
* The amounts disclosed are after the restatement for the correction of the error disclosed in note 11(b).
Equity
Share premium
IAS1(79)(a) IAS 1 requires disclosure of the par value of shares (if any), but does not prescribe a particular
form of presentation for the share premium. VALUE IFRS Plc is disclosing the share premium
in the notes. However, local company laws may have specific rules. For example, they may
require separate presentation in the balance sheet.
Treasury shares
IAS32(33) IAS 32 states that treasury shares must be deducted from equity and that no gain or loss shall
be recognised on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of such shares. However, the
standard does not specify where in equity the treasury shares should be presented. VALUE
IFRS Plc has elected to present the shares in ‘other equity’, but they may also be disclosed as
a separate line item in the balance sheet, deducted from retained earnings or presented in a
specific reserve. Depending on local company law, the company may have the right to resell
the treasury shares.
Equity
Other reserves
IAS1(106)(d) An entity shall present, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes, for each
accumulated balance of each class of other comprehensive income a reconciliation between
the carrying amount at the beginning and the end of the period, separately disclosing each item
of other comprehensive income and transactions with owners. See also commentary
paragraphs 2 and 3 to the statement of changes in equity.
IAS1(92),(94) Reclassification adjustments relating to components of other comprehensive income must also
be disclosed, either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes. VALUE IFRS
Plc has elected to make both disclosures in the notes.
IAS1(7),(95) Reclassification adjustments are amounts reclassified to profit or loss in the current period that
were recognised in other comprehensive income in the current or previous periods. They arise,
for example, on disposal of a foreign operation and when a hedged forecast transaction affects
profit or loss.
Nature and purpose
IAS1(79)(b)
A description of the nature and purpose of each reserve within equity must be provided either
in the balance sheet or in the notes. This applies to each reserve, including general reserves,
capital profits reserves and any others in existence.
In providing a description of the nature and purpose of the reserves, it would be appropriate to
refer to any restrictions on their distribution or any other important characteristics. In the
case of:
IAS16(77)(f) (a) the property, plant and equipment revaluation surplus: there is a specific requirement to
disclose any restrictions on the distribution of the balance to shareholders
IAS38(124)(b) (b) the amount of the revaluation surplus that relates to intangible assets: there is a specific
requirement to disclose the balance at the beginning and end of the period, indicating the
changes during the period and any restrictions on the distribution of the balance to
shareholders.
Transfer from share-based payments reserve to share capital on exercise of options
The accounting standards do not distinguish between different components of equity. Although
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment permits entities to transfer an amount from one component of
equity to another on the vesting or exercise of options, there is no requirement to do so.
VALUE IFRS Plc has established a share-based payments reserve but does not transfer any
amounts from this reserve on the exercise or lapse of options. However, the credit could also
be recognised directly in retained earnings or share capital. The treatment adopted may
depend on the tax and company laws applicable in the relevant jurisdictions. Entities with
significant share-based payment transactions should explain their policy.

11 Critical estimates, judgements and errors
IAS1(122),(125) The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition,
will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the
group’s accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity,
and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning
out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in
other notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the
financial statements. In addition, this note also explains where there have been actual adjustments this
year as a result of an error and of changes to previous estimates.
[While not specifically illustrated in this publication, entities should consider whether any of the
following is relevant and may require additional explanations:
• the impact of climate-related risks, and
ESMA Enforcement priorities
•
2020 the impact of COVID-19.] 3-7

(a) Significant estimates and judgements
The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:
• estimation of current tax payable and current tax expense in relation to an uncertain tax position –
note 6(b)
• estimated fair value of certain financial assets – notes 7(c) and 7(h)
• presentation of liabilities under supplier finance arrangement – note 7(f)
• estimation of fair values of land and buildings and investment property – notes 8(a) and 8(c)
• estimation uncertainties and judgements made in relation to lease accounting – note 8(b)
• estimated goodwill impairment – note 8(d)
• estimated useful life of intangible asset – note 8(d)
• estimation of defined benefit pension obligation – note 8(h)
• estimation of provision for warranty claims – note 8(i)
• estimation of fair values of contingent liabilities and contingent purchase consideration in a
business combination – note 14
• recognition of revenue and allocation of transaction price – note 3
• recognition of deferred tax asset for carried-forward tax losses – note 8(e)
• impairment of financial assets – note 12(c), and
• consolidation decisions and classification of joint arrangements – notes 7(c) and 16.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity
and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

IFRS7(33)(b) The group’s risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department (group
treasury) under policies approved by the board of directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and
hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the group’s operating units. The board provides written
principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative
financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
IFRS7(21A)(c) Where all relevant criteria are met, hedge accounting is applied to remove the accounting mismatch
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This will effectively result in recognising interest
expense at a fixed interest rate for the hedged floating rate loans and inventory at the fixed foreign
currency rate for the hedged purchases.

12(a) Derivatives
IAS1(117)
(i) Classification of derivatives 21
IAS1(66),(68) Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments.
However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as ‘held for
trading’ for accounting purposes and are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. They are
presented as current assets or liabilities to the extent they are expected to be settled within 12 months
after the end of the reporting period.
The group’s accounting policy for its cash flow hedges is set out in note 25(p). Further information
about the derivatives used by the group is provided in note 12(b) below.
IFRS7(22B)(c) * The amount deferred in the costs of hedging reserve includes CU34,000 in respect of time value of options and CU28,000 in
respect of forward points (2020 – CU54,000 in respect of forward points). All of these deferred costs are in respect of
transaction-related items, namely forecast inventory purchases.
IFRS7(24C)(b)(iv) There were no reclassifications from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss during the period in
relation to the foreign currency forwards and options.
Hedge effectiveness
IFRS7(22B)(b) Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic
prospective effectiveness assessments, to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the
hedged item and hedging instrument.
12(a) Derivatives
For hedges of foreign currency purchases, the group enters into hedge relationships where the critical
terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. The group therefore
performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness. If changes in circumstances affect the terms of
the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the
hedging instrument, the group uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness.
IFRS7(23D) In hedges of foreign currency purchases, ineffectiveness may arise if the timing of the forecast
transaction changes from what was originally estimated, or if there are changes in the credit risk of
Oneland or the derivative counterparty.
IFRS7(22B)(b) The group enters into interest rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as
reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amount. The group does not
hedge 100% of its loans, therefore the hedged item is identified as a proportion of the outstanding
loans up to the notional amount of the swaps. As all critical terms matched during the year, there is an
economic relationship.
IFRS7(22B)(c),(23D) Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps is assessed using the same principles as for hedges of
foreign currency purchases. It may occur due to:
• the credit value/debit value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the
loan, and
• differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and loans.
IFRS7(24C)(b)(ii) Hedge ineffectiveness in relation to the interest rate swaps was negligible for 2021 and 2020.

IFRS7(33)
12(b) Market risk
IFRS7(22A)(b),(c) The group treasury’s risk management policy is to hedge between 65% and 80% of forecast US dollar
cash flows for inventory purchases up to one quarter in advance, subject to a review of the cost of
implementing each hedge. For the year ended 31 December 2021, approximately 80% of inventory
purchases were hedged in respect of foreign currency risk. At 31 December 2021, 90% of forecasted
US dollar inventory purchases during the first quarter of 2022 qualified as ‘highly probable’ forecast
transactions for hedge accounting purposes (for 2020, approximately 85% of inventory purchases
were hedged and 93% of the purchases qualified as ‘highly probable’ as at 31 December 2020).
The US dollar-denominated bank loans are expected to be repaid with receipts from US dollar-
denominated sales. The foreign currency exposure of these loans has therefore not been hedged.
IFRS7(22B)(a) The group uses a combination of foreign currency options and foreign currency forwards to hedge its
exposure to foreign currency risk. Under the group’s policy, the critical terms of the forwards and
options must align with the hedged items.
IFRS9(6.5.16) The group only designates the spot component of foreign currency forwards in hedge relationships.
The spot component is determined with reference to relevant spot market exchange rates. The
differential between the contracted forward rate and the spot market exchange rate is defined as the
forward points. It is discounted, where material.
IFRS9(6.5.15) The intrinsic value of foreign currency options is determined with reference to the relevant spot market
exchange rate. The differential between the contracted strike rate and the discounted spot market
exchange rate is defined as the time value. It is discounted, where material.
IAS1(117) The changes in the forward element of the foreign currency forwards and the time value of the options
IFRS7(21)
that relate to hedged items are deferred in the costs of hedging reserve.
IFRS7(7),(21) The group also entered into foreign currency forwards in relation to projected purchases for the next
12 months that do not qualify as ‘highly probable’ forecast transactions and hence do not satisfy the
requirements for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The foreign currency forwards are subject to
the same risk management policies as all other derivative contracts. However, they are accounted for
as held for trading, with gains (losses) recognised in profit or loss.
IFRS7(22B)(c) * The foreign currency forwards and options are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future inventory
purchases (US$), therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1.

Sensitivity
IFRS7(40)(a),(b),(c) As shown in the table on page 124 above, the group is primarily exposed to changes in US/CU
exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from
US dollar-denominated financial instruments and the impact on other components of equity arises
from foreign forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

*
* Holding all other variables constant
Profit is more sensitive to movements in the Oneland currency unit/US dollar exchange rates in 2021
than 2020 because of the increased amount of US dollar denominated borrowings. Equity is more
sensitive to movements in the Oneland currency unit/US dollar exchange rates in 2021 than 2020
because of the increased amount of foreign currency forwards. The group’s exposure to other foreign
exchange movements is not material.
An analysis by maturities is provided in note 12(d) below. The percentage of total loans shows the
proportion of loans that are currently at variable rates in relation to the total amount of borrowings.

(iii) Price risk
Exposure
IFRS7(33)(a) The group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the group and
classified in the balance sheet either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
(note 7(c)) or at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) (note 7(d)).
IFRS7(33)(b) To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the group diversifies its portfolio.
Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the group.
The majority of the group’s equity investments are publicly traded and are included either in the
Oneland Stock Exchange 200 Index or the NYSE International 100 Index.
Sensitivity
IFRS7(40)(a),(b) The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of these two indexes on the group’s
equity and post-tax profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity
indexes had increased by 9% and 7% respectively or decreased by 6% and 5%, with all other
variables held constant, and that all of the group’s equity instruments moved in line with the indexes.

Post-tax profit for the period would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities
classified as at FVPL. Other components of equity would increase/decrease as a result of
gains/losses on equity securities classified as at FVOCI.
IFRS7(15)(b),
(36)(a),(b) (ii) Security
For some trade receivables the group may obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of
undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the
terms of the agreement.
IFRS7(35H)(b)(iii) The loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets as at 31 December reconcile to the
opening loss allowances as follows:
Contract assets Trade receivables
2021 2020 2021 2020
CU’000 CU’000 CU’000 CU’000
Opening loss allowance at 1 January 36 30 350 115

IFRS7(35I)(c) Unused amount reversed (8) - (20) (55)
Closing loss allowance at 31 December 28 36 646 350
IFRS7(35F)(e) Trade receivables and contract assets are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of
recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the
failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual
payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses
within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against
the same line item.
Debt investments 13
IFRS7(35F)(a)(i) All of the entity’s debt investments at amortised cost and FVOCI are considered to have low credit
risk, and the loss allowance recognised during the period was therefore limited to 12 months’
expected losses. Management consider ‘low credit risk’ for listed bonds to be an investment grade
credit rating with at least one major rating agency. Other instruments are considered to be low credit
risk where they have a low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual
cash flow obligations in the near term.
(v) Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets recognised in profit or loss

financial assets:

IFRS7(B10A)(a) Of the CU46.195m disclosed in the 2021 borrowings time band ‘between 2 and 5 years’, the group is
considering early repayment of CU5,000,000 in the first quarter of the 2022 financial year (2020 – nil).
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
IFRS7(B23) Foreign currency risk can only arise on financial instruments that are denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. Translation-related
risks are therefore not included in the assessment of the entity’s exposure to currency risks.
Translation exposures arise from financial and non-financial items held by an entity (for
example, a subsidiary) with a functional currency different from the group’s presentation
currency. However, foreign currency-denominated inter-company receivables and payables
which do not form part of a net investment in a foreign operation would be included in the
sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risks; this is because, even though the balances
eliminate in the consolidated balance sheet, the effect on profit or loss of their revaluation
under IAS 21 is not fully eliminated.
For the purpose of IFRS 7, currency risk does also not arise from financial instruments that are
non-monetary items. VALUE IFRS Plc has therefore excluded its US dollar-denominated
equity securities from the analysis of foreign exchange risk. The foreign currency exposure
arising from investing in non-monetary financial instruments is reflected in the other price risk
disclosures as part of the fair value gains and losses.
Interest rate risk – fixed rate borrowings
Sensitivity to changes in interest rates is normally only relevant to financial assets or financial
liabilities bearing floating interest rates. However, sensitivity will also be relevant to fixed rate
financial assets and financial liabilities which are remeasured to fair value.
Interest rate benchmark reform

Amendments to IFRS 9, reform. However, entities with hedging relationships and entities that have exposure to interest

IFRS 16
these IBORs are subject to interest rate benchmark reform may need to provide additional
IBOR reform disclosures. Our Practical guide to Phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS
7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 for interest rate benchmark (IBOR) reform includes example
disclosures which illustrate both ‘phase 1’ and ‘phase 2’ amendments to IFRS 7 for a cash flow
hedge and other financial instruments typical of a corporate entity which applies IFRS 9 to its
hedge accounting relationships.
Credit risk
IFRS15(107),(108) The impairment rules in IFRS 9 also apply to contract assets. A contract asset is the entity’s
right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to the
customer. A contract asset becomes a receivable when the entity’s right to consideration is
unconditional, which is the case when only the passage of time is required before payment of
the consideration is due. The impairment of contract assets is measured, presented and
disclosed on the same basis as financial assets that are within the scope of IFRS 9.
IFRS9(5.5.3),(5.5.4) If there is a significant increase in credit risk in relation to any of the debt instruments since
initial recognition, the group would need to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for those
instruments, but would continue to calculate interest revenue on the gross carrying amount of
IFRS9(5.4.1)(b) the asset. If there is objective evidence of impairment, lifetime expected credit losses must be
recognised and interest revenue will be calculated on the net carrying amount (that is, net of
credit allowance). In these cases, additional disclosures will be required similar to those that
are illustrated for customer loans on page 139 onwards.
Liquidity risk
Maturity analysis
IFRS7(B11B) All financial liabilities must be included in the maturity analysis. The analysis should generally
be based on contractual maturities. However, for derivative financial liabilities the standard
provides entities with a choice to base the maturity grouping on expected rather than
contractual maturities, provided the contractual maturities are not essential for an
understanding of the timing of the cash flows. This could be the case for derivative contracts
that are held for trading. For contracts such as interest rate swaps in a cash flow hedge of a
variable rate financial asset or liability and for all loan commitments, the remaining contractual
maturities will be essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. These
contracts must therefore be grouped based on their contractual maturities.
IFRS7(39),(B11D) The amounts disclosed should be the amounts expected to be paid in future periods,
determined by reference to the conditions existing at the end of the reporting period. However,
IFRS 7 does not specify whether current or forward rates should be used. For floating rate
financial liabilities and foreign currency-denominated instruments, the use of forward interest
rates and forward foreign exchange rates might be conceptually preferable, but the use of a
spot rate at the end of the period is also acceptable. Whichever approach is adopted (that is,
current/spot rate or forward rate at the reporting date), it should be applied consistently.
IFRS7(B11C)(c) The specific time buckets presented are not mandated by the standard but are based on what
is reported internally to the key management personnel. For financial guarantee contracts, the
maximum amount of the guarantee must be allocated to the earliest period in which the
guarantee could be called.
As the amounts included in the maturity tables are the contractual undiscounted cash flows,
including principal and interest payments, these amounts will not reconcile to the amounts
disclosed in the balance sheet. This is in particular as far as borrowings or derivative financial
instruments are concerned. Entities can choose to add a column with the carrying amounts
which ties into the balance sheet and a reconciling column if they so wish, but this is not
mandatory.
Financing arrangements
IAS7(50)(a) Committed borrowing facilities are a major element of liquidity management. Entities should
IFRS7(39)(c)
therefore consider providing information about their undrawn facilities. IAS 7 Statement of
Cash Flows also recommends disclosure of undrawn borrowing facilities that may be available
for future operating activities and to settle capital commitments, indicating any restrictions on
the use of these facilities.
Terms and conditions of financial instruments
IFRS7(7),(31) Entities shall disclose sufficient information that enables users of its financial statements to
IFRS PS 2 evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance and
the nature and extent of risks arising from these financial instruments. However, the intention
of IFRS 7 was to decrease the potentially voluminous disclosures that were required by IAS 32
and replace them with shorter but more meaningful information. Under normal circumstances
entities will therefore no longer need to disclose the significant terms and conditions for each of
their major borrowings. Nevertheless, if an entity has a borrowing or other financial instrument
with unusual terms and conditions, some information should be provided to enable users to
assess the nature and extent of risks associated with these instruments. The non-mandatory
Practice Statement Making Materiality Judgements discusses the circumstances under which
covenants may need to be disclosed, see paragraphs 81–83.
IFRS7(24B),(24C) The entity has designated fair value Provide the disclosures required by
hedges paragraphs 24B(a) and 24C(a) of IFRS 7.

relationships recognised in a separate line item in the
statement of comprehensive income.
IFRS7(35F)(e) Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as
a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the company. The company categorises a
loan or receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments more than
120 days past due. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the company continues
to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries
are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Loans to customers
IFRS7(35F)(a) The company uses three categories for loans which reflect their credit risk and how the loan
loss provision is determined for each of those categories. These internal credit risk ratings are
aligned to external credit rating companies, such as Standard and Poor, Moody’s and Fitch.
A summary of the assumptions underpinning the company’s expected credit loss model is as
follows

Interest-bearing loans are provided to small business customers to assist them with new
business start-up costs as part of the company’s ongoing support for local entrepreneurs. The
company does not require the small business customers to pledge collateral as security
against the loan.
IFRS7(35G)(b) Over the term of the loans, the company accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing
for expected credit losses on a timely basis. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, the
company considers historical loss rates for each category of customers and adjusts for
forward-looking macroeconomic data. The company provides for credit losses against loans to
customers as follows:
IFRS7(35G)(a),(35M) Company internal credit Gross carrying Gross carrying Gross carrying
rating as at 31 December External credit Expected credit amount amount amount
2021 ** rating * loss rate (stage 1) (stage 2) (stage 3)

Moderate B 12.2% 67 54 -
CC 18.0% 13 134 -
Low C 30.0% - 78 -
IFRS7(35G)(c) No significant changes to estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the
reporting period.
IFRS7(35H) The loss allowance for loans to customers as at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021
reconciles to the opening loss allowance for that provision as follows:
Under- Non-
Performing performing performing Total
CU’000 CU’000 CU’000 CU’000
* The increase in the loss allowance of 8 is due to moving assets being measured at 12-month expected credit losses
to lifetime expected credit losses.
IFRS7(35I)(d) ** The increase in the loss allowance is due to an increase in the probability of default (PD) used to calculate the 12-
month expected credit loss for the performing loans.
IFRS7(35L) Loans with a contractual amount of CU60,000 written off during the period are still subject to
enforcement activity.
IFRS7(35K)(a) The gross carrying amount of loan receivables, and thus the maximum exposure to loss, is as
follows:
31 December 31 December
2021 2020
CU’000 CU’000
Performing 91,560 xxx

Total gross loan receivables 93,500 xxx
Less: Loan loss allowance (1,299) xxx
Less: Write-off (10) xxx
Loan receivables net of expected credit losses 92,191 xxx
IAS1(135)(c) The net debt to equity ratio decreased from 47% to 27% as a result of the rights issue (see note 9(a))
and tighter monitoring of trade debtor payments, which has resulted in an increase of operating cash
flows and cash held by the group at the end of the year.

Business combination
Comparatives
IAS1(38) Under IAS 1, comparative information must be given for all numerical information reported in
the financial statements, including narratives. However, IFRS 3 does not separately require
comparative information in respect of business combinations. In our view, the IFRS 3
disclosures are required only for business combinations occurring during the period. This
means that in the period following the combination, the disclosures required in paragraph B64
of IFRS 3 do not need to be repeated. However, the disclosures that are required in relation to
a prior business combination in paragraph B67 of IFRS 3 must be made.

(i) Significant judgement: consolidation of entities with less than 50% ownership
IFRS12(7)(a),(9)(b) The directors have concluded that the group controls VALUE IFRS Overseas Ltd, even though it
holds less than half of the voting rights of this subsidiary. This is because the group is the largest
shareholder with a 45% equity interest, while the remaining shares are widely dispersed. An
agreement signed between the shareholders grants VALUE IFRS Plc the right to appoint, remove and
set the remuneration of management responsible for directing the relevant activities. A 67% majority
vote is required to change this agreement, which cannot be achieved without the group’s consent as
the group holds 45% of the voting rights.

17 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets 2
17(a) Contingent liabilities 1
The group had contingent liabilities at 31 December 2021 in respect of:
(i) Claims
IAS37(86),(91) A claim for unspecified damages was lodged against VALUE IFRS Retail Limited in December 2020 in
relation to alleged non-performance under a sales contract. The company has disclaimed liability and is
defending the action. It is not practical to estimate the potential effect of this claim, but legal advice
indicates that it is not probable that a material liability will arise.
In September 2021, a claim was lodged against VALUE IFRS Manufacturing Limited asserting that the
entity had breached certain registered patents of a competitor. The matter is currently being considered
IAS37(86) by the courts, and the group expects judgment before the end of June 2022. The group considers it to
be probable that the judgment will be in its favour and has therefore not recognised a provision in
relation to this claim. The potential undiscounted amount of the total payments that the group could be
required to make, if there was an adverse decision related to the lawsuit, is estimated to be
approximately CU250,000.
(ii) Associates and joint ventures
IFRS12(23)(b) For contingent liabilities relating to associates and joint ventures see note 16(e).
Definitions
IAS37(10) Application of definitions
Careful consideration will need to be given to each potential contingent liability or asset. For
example, in the case of an entity that has:
(a) incurred liabilities in acting as trustee for a trust: if the liabilities of the trust are insignificant
compared to the assets in the trust and the chances of the trustee being called to meet
those liabilities is remote, no contingent liability and asset disclosures will need to be
made. It is likely that it will be possible to demonstrate remoteness where the entity is
acting as trustee for an equity trust that has no borrowings and holds investments that can
be readily sold to meet any liabilities that do arise. Remoteness is unlikely to be
demonstrated where an entity acts as trustee for a trust that is carrying on a business and
the trustee is incurring liabilities and undertaking the risks relating to the business
(b) provided a guarantee or indemnity to another party: it will be more difficult to demonstrate
the probability of having to meet the potential liabilities as being remote because there are
likely to be commercial risks which gave rise to the need for the guarantee or indemnity.

The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the group could be required to make
under this arrangement is between CU0 and CU800,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration
arrangement of CU280,000 has been estimated by calculating the present value of the future expected
cash flows. The estimates are based on a discount rate of 8% and assumed probability-adjusted profit
in Better Office Furnishings Limited of CU4,400,000 to CU4,800,000.
(iii) Acquisition-related costs
IFRS3(B64)(m) Acquisition-related costs of CU750,000 will be included in administrative expenses in the statement of
profit or loss in the reporting period ending 31 December 2022.

Presentation
All of the related party information required by IAS 24 that is relevant to VALUE IFRS Plc has
been presented, or referred to, in one note. This is considered to be a convenient and
desirable method of presentation, but there is no requirement to present the information in this
manner. Compliance with the standard could also be achieved by disclosing the information in
relevant notes throughout the financial statements.
Materiality
IAS1(7) The disclosures required by IAS 24 apply to the financial statements when the information is
material. According to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, materiality depends on the
size and nature of an item. It may be necessary to treat an item or a group of items as material
because of their nature, even if they would not be judged material on the basis of the amounts
involved. This may apply when transactions occur between an entity and parties who have a
fiduciary responsibility in relation to that entity, such as those transactions between the entity
and its key management personnel.
Key management personnel compensation
While the disclosures under paragraph 17 of IAS 24 are subject to materiality, this must be
determined based on both quantitative and qualitative factors. In our view, it will not be
appropriate to omit the aggregate compensation disclosures based on materiality. Whether it
will be possible to satisfy the disclosure by reference to another document, such as a
remuneration report, will depend on local regulation. IAS 24 itself does not specifically permit
such cross-referencing.

(ii) Options
IAS33(72) Options granted to employees under the VALUE IFRS Employee Option Plan are considered to be
potential ordinary shares. They have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share if
the required TSR hurdles would have been met based on the company’s performance up to the
reporting date, and to the extent to which they are dilutive. The options have not been included in the
determination of basic earnings per share. Details relating to the options are set out in note 21(a).
IAS33(70)(c) The 818,000 options granted on 1 November 2021 are not included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share because they are antidilutive for the year ended 31 December 2021. These options
could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

(ii) Borrowings
IFRS7(13B) VALUE IFRS Plc is required to maintain cash on deposit of CU1,000,000 in respect of certain
borrowings. The cash cannot be withdrawn or used by the company for liquidity purposes whilst the
borrowing is outstanding. Upon maturity of the borrowing, the company and the lender intend to net
settle. As a result, VALUE IFRS Plc’s borrowings have been presented net of the cash on deposit, as
the requirements under IFRS to offset have been met.
Scope
Because of the broad scope of the offsetting requirements, the disclosures are relevant not
only to financial institutions but also to corporate entities.
IFRS7(13A),(B40) The offsetting disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an
enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements, irrespective of whether they
are set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32. While there is no definition of ‘master
IAS32(50) netting arrangement’, a master netting arrangement will commonly:
(a) provide for a single net settlement of all financial instruments covered by the agreement in
the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract
(b) be used by financial institutions to provide protection against loss in the event of
bankruptcy or other circumstances that result in a counterparty being unable to meet its
obligations, and
(c) create a right of set-off that becomes enforceable and affects the realisation or settlement
of individual financial assets and financial liabilities only following a specified event of
default or in other circumstances not expected to arise in the normal course of business.
IFRS7(B41) The offsetting disclosures do not apply to arrangements, such as:
(a) financial instruments with only non-financial collateral agreements
(b) financial instruments with financial collateral agreements but no other rights of set-off, and
(c) loans and customer deposits with the same financial institution, unless they are set off in
the balance sheet.
Location of disclosures
IFRS7(13F) Where the disclosures are provided in more than one note to the financial statements, cross-
references between the notes shall be included. Entities with significant offsetting
arrangements should consider including this information more prominently, for example
together with the information about financial risk management or as part of their financial
assets/financial liabilities disclosures.
Master netting without offsetting
IFRS7(36)(b) An entity may have entered into one or more master netting arrangements that serve to
mitigate its exposure to credit loss but do not meet the criteria for offsetting. Where a master
netting arrangement significantly reduces the credit risk associated with financial assets not
offset against financial liabilities with the same counterparty, the entity must provide additional
information concerning the effect of the arrangement.
Collateral arrangements
IFRS7(13C)(d),(B41) Where an entity has pledged financial instruments (including cash) as collateral, this is only
required to be disclosed as part of the offsetting disclosures where there are other set-off
arrangements currently in place in relation to the same instrument(s). That is, disclosure is not
required where the only potential effect of the set off relates to a collateral agreement. VALUE
IFRS Plc illustrates an example where cash has been set off against borrowings held by the
entity. As a result, it is required to disclose other financial instrument collateral provided in
relation to this borrowing.

25 Summary of significant accounting policies
IAS1(112)(a),(b) This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these
(51)(b)
consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes
above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements are for the group consisting of VALUE IFRS Plc and its subsidiaries.
IAS1(112)(a),(117)
25(a) Basis of preparation
(i) Compliance with IFRS
IAS1(16) The consolidated financial statements of the VALUE IFRS Plc group have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS
Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial
statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
IAS1(119)
25(b) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting
(i) Subsidiaries
IFRS10(5)-(7),(20),(25) Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group
controls an entity where the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They
are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
IFRS3(4) The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group (see
note 25(i)).
IFRS10(19),(B86)(c) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
IAS1(119)
25(b) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting
IFRS10(22) Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and balance sheet respectively.
IAS1(119)
(ii) Associates
IAS28(5),(16) Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control.
This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see (iv) below),
after initially being recognised at cost.
IAS1(119)
25(c) Segment reporting
IFRS8(5),(7) Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker.
The board of VALUE IFRS Plc has appointed a strategic steering committee which assesses the
financial performance and position of the group and makes strategic decisions. The steering
committee, which has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker, consists of the chief
executive officer, the chief financial officer and the manager for corporate planning.
IAS1(119),(120)
25(d) Foreign currency translation
IAS1(119)
(i) Functional and presentation currency
IAS21(9),(17),(18) Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the
IAS1(51)(d)
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Oneland currency units (CU), which is VALUE
IFRS Plc’s functional and presentation currency.
IAS1(119)
(ii) Transactions and balances
IAS21(21),(28), Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at
(32)
IFRS9(6.5.11)(b),(6.5.13)(a) the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in
equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are
attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or
loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement
of profit or loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).
IAS21(23)(c),(30) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and
liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation
differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or
loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss, and translation differences on
non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income
are recognised in other comprehensive income.
IAS1(119)
(iii) Group companies
IAS21(39) The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
IAS21(39) • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date
of that balance sheet
• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income
are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and
expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
IFRS9(6.5.13) On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign
entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments,
are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings
forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to
profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
IAS21(47) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as
assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
IAS1(119)
25(e) Revenue recognition
The accounting policies for the group’s revenue from contracts with customers are explained in
note 3(c).
IAS1(119)
25(f) Government grants
IAS20(7),(39)(a) Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance
that the grant will be received and the group will comply with all attached conditions. Note 5 provides
further information on how the group accounts for government grants.
IAS1(119),(120)
25(g) Income tax
IAS12(46) The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable
income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred
tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
IAS12(12),(46) The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries
operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax
returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and
IFRIC23 considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The
group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value,
depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
IAS12(15),(24),(47) Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial
statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition
of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset
or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects
Revised illustration neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences. 7 Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the
related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
IAS12(51C) The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined
assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale.
IAS12(24),(34) Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to
utilise those temporary differences and losses.
IAS12(39),(44) Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying
amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
IAS12(71),(74) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset
and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
IAS12(61A) Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(i) Investment allowances and similar tax incentives
Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in
qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying expenditure (e.g. the Research and Development Tax
Incentive regime in Oneland or other investment allowances). The group accounts for such allowances
as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A
deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward as deferred tax
assets.
IAS1(119)
Revised illustration 25(h) Leases
IAS1(117) Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease
IFRS16(27)
liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index
or rate as at the commencement date
• amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option,
and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising
that option.
IFRS16(18) Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the
measurement of the liability.
IAS1(119)
Revised illustration 25(h) Leases
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to
profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each period.
IAS1(117) Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
IFRS16(24)
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received
• any initial direct costs, and
• restoration costs.
Entity-specific details about the group’s leasing policy are provided in note 8(b).
IAS1(119),(120)
25(i) Business combinations
IFRS3(5),(37),(39), The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of
(53),(18),(19)
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:
• fair values of the assets transferred
• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
• equity interests issued by the group
• fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
• fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination
are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group
recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net
identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
IFRS3(32),(34) The excess of the:
• consideration transferred,
• amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
• acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are
less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is
recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are
discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s
incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an
independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a
financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in
profit or loss.
IFRS3(42) If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any
gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
IAS1(119)
25(j) Impairment of assets
IAS36(9),(10) Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are
tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For
the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets
or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
IAS1(119)
25(k) Cash and cash equivalents
IAS7(6),(8),(46) For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes
cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts
are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
IAS1(119)
25(l) Trade receivables
IFRS7(21) Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless
they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See
note 7(a) for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables and note 12(c) for a
description of the group’s impairment policies.
IAS1(119)
25(m) Inventories
IAS1(119)
(i) Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
IAS2(9),(10),(25), Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net
(36)(a)
realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of
variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating
IFRS9(6.5.11)(d)(i) capacity. Cost includes the reclassification from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow
hedges relating to purchases of raw material but excludes borrowing costs. Costs are assigned to
individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are
determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
IAS1(119)
(ii) Land held for resale
IAS2(9),(10),(23), Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific
(36)(a)
IAS23(8),(22) identification and includes the cost of acquisition, and development and borrowing costs during
development. When development is completed, borrowing costs and other holding charges are
expensed as incurred.
IAS1(119)
25(n) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
IFRS5(6),(15) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) 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 for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits,
financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under
insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
IFRS5(20)-(22) An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal
group) 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 (or disposal group), 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 (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
IFRS5(25) Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) 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.
IFRS5(38) Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for
sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal
group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
IFRS5(31),(32), A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held
(33)(a)
for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is
part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a
subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are
presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.
Debt instruments
IFRS9(5.2.1) Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model for managing
the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into
which the group classifies its debt instruments:
IFRS9(4.1.2) • Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash
flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest
income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate
method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and
presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment
losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
IFRS9(4.1.1),(4.1.2A), • FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial
(5.7.10)
assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are
measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the
recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses,
which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative
gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised
in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income
using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other
gains/(losses), and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of
profit or loss.
IFRS9(4.1.1),(4.1.4) • FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A
gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or
loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments
IFRS9(5.7.5),(5.7.6) The group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group’s management
has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent
reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the
investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other
income when the group’s right to receive payments is established.
IFRS9(5.7.1) Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the
statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on
equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
IAS1(119)
IFRS7(21) 25(p) Derivatives and hedging activities
IFRS9(6.5.12) When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the
criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in
equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition of
a non-financial asset such as inventory. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur,
the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately
reclassified to profit or loss.
IAS1(119)
25(r) Property, plant and equipment
IAS16(50),(73)(b) The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in note 8(a).
IAS16(51) The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of
each reporting period.
IAS36(59) An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 25(j)).
IAS16(68),(71),(41) Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are
included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is group policy to transfer any amounts
included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
IAS1(119)
25(s) Investment properties
IAS40(75)(a) The group’s accounting policy for investment properties is disclosed in note 8(c).
IAS1(119)
25(t) Intangible assets
IAS1(119)
(i) Goodwill
IFRS3(32) Goodwill is measured as described in note 25(i). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in
IAS36(10)
intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
IAS36(80) Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is
made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit
from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at
the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating
segments (note 2).
IAS1(119)
(ii) Trademarks, licences and customer contracts
IAS38(74),(97), Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licences and
(118)(a),(b)
customer contracts acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition
date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses.
IAS1(119)
(iii) Software
IAS38(57),(66),(74),
(97),(118)(a),(b)
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique
software products controlled by the group are recognised as intangible assets where the following
criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
• management intends to complete the software and use or sell it
• there is an ability to use or sell the software
• it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell
the software are available, and
• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software include employee costs and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which
the asset is ready for use.
IAS1(119)
(iv) Research and development
IAS38(54),(71) Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria in (iii) above are
recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are
not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
IAS1(119)
(v) Amortisation methods and periods
Refer to note 8(d) for details about amortisation methods and periods used by the group for intangible
assets.
IAS1(119)
25(u) Trade and other payables
IFRS7(21) These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the
IFRS9(5.1.1)
financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of
recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due
within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
IAS1(119)
25(v) Borrowings
IFRS7(21) Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
IFRS9(5.1.1),(4.2.1)
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using
the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as
transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn
down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence
that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a
prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
IAS32(18) Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities.
The dividends on these preference shares are recognised in profit or loss as finance costs.
IAS32(18),(28), The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for
(AG31)(a)
an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis
until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to
the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax
effects.
IFRS9(3.3.1),(3.3.3) Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that
has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-
cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance
costs.
IFRIC19(9) Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a
creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
IAS1(69) 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 period.
IAS1(119)
IAS23(8) 25(w) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete
and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings, pending their
expenditure on qualifying assets, is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
IAS1(119)
25(x) Provisions
IAS37(14),(24), Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the
(63)
group 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 can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
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.
IAS37(36),(45), Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure
(47),(60)
required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to
determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as interest expense.
IAS1(119)
25(y) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations 14
IAS19(11),(13) Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick
leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of
the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are
settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
IAS19(8),(155),(156)
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations 14
In some countries, the group also has liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service. These obligations are therefore measured as the present value of expected
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the
reporting period, using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future
payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality
corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future
cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
IAS1(69) The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of
when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Pension obligations
IAS19(57),(67) The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of
plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the
projected unit credit method.
IAS19(83),(86) The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency
in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related
obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market rates on government
bonds are used.
IAS19(123) The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit
obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the
statement of profit or loss.
IAS19(57)(d) Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.
They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
IAS19(103) Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or
curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service costs.
IAS19(51) For defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered
pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The group 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.
IAS1(119)
25(y) Employee benefits
IAS1(119)
(iv) Share-based payments 15
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the VALUE IFRS Employee Option
Plan, an employee share scheme, the executive short-term incentive scheme and share appreciation
rights. Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 21.
Employee options
IFRS2(15)(b),(19) The fair value of options granted under the VALUE IFRS Employee Option Plan is recognised as an
employee benefits expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed
is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
IFRS2(21) - including any market performance conditions (e.g. the entity’s share price)
IFRS2(20) - excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g.
profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified
time period), and
IFRS2(21A) - including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save
or hold shares for a specific period of time).
IFRS2(19)
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the
specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its
estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and
service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss,
with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The Employee Option Plan is administered by the VALUE IFRS Employee Share Trust, which is
consolidated in accordance with the principles in note 25(b)(i). When the options are exercised, the
trust transfers the appropriate amount of shares to the employee. The proceeds received, net of any
directly attributable transaction costs, are credited directly to equity.
Deferred shares
IFRS2(15),(16),(19) The fair value of deferred shares granted to employees for nil consideration under the short-term
incentive scheme is recognised as an expense over the relevant service period, being the year to which
the bonus relates and the vesting period of the shares. The fair value is measured at the grant date of
the shares and is recognised in equity in the share-based payment reserve. The number of shares
expected to vest is estimated based on the non-market vesting conditions. The estimates are revised at
IFRS2(19) the end of each reporting period, and adjustments are recognised in profit or loss and the share-based
payment reserve.
Where shares are forfeited due to a failure by the employee to satisfy the service conditions, any
expenses previously recognised in relation to such shares are reversed effective from the date of the
forfeiture.
The deferred shares are acquired by the VALUE IFRS Employee Share Trust on market at the grant
date and are held as treasury shares until such time as they are vested (see note 25(z)).
IAS1(119)
25(y) Employee benefits
IAS1(119)
(vi) Termination benefits
IAS19(165),(166) Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the group before the normal
retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.
The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group can
no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a
restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the
case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured
based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12
months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
The illustrative accounting policy note on page 179 assumes that none of the standards on
issue at the time of writing will have a material impact on VALUE IFRS Plc. However, this will
not apply to all entities alike and entities will need to provide appropriate disclosures where
necessary. For a listing of standards and interpretations that were on issue as at 30 June 2021
but not yet mandatory see Appendix D.
We note that the amendments to IAS 1 for the classification of liabilities as current or non-
current could potentially require the reclassification of liabilities from non-current to current, and
that this is a fact that should be disclosed in note 25(a)(iv). However, at the time of writing, the
IASB was discussing further amendments to IAS 1 which would change the classification
requirements and also defer the mandatory application of the amendments to 1 January 2024.
As the impact of the amendments is currently uncertain, we have not included any illustrative
disclosures in note 25(a)(iv).
For major new standards such as IFRS 17, regulators will generally expect to see entity-
specific disclosures about the entity’s transition approach and ultimately also a quantification of
the estimated impact of these standards, if the standards are relevant to the entity.
IFRS17 Appendix A Insurance contracts are defined as contracts ‘under which one party (the issuer) accepts
significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the
policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the
policyholder’. Entities should be aware that this could also include certain contracts entered
into by entities that are not insurers, such as fixed-fee for service contracts.
Financial instruments
IFRS7(21),(B5) Disclosure of the measurement bases of financial instruments may include:
(a) the nature of financial assets and financial liabilities that have been designated at fair
value through profit or loss (FVPL), the criteria for designating them at FVPL and how the
entity has satisfied the conditions in IFRS 9 for such designation
(b) whether regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade
date or at settlement date, and
(c) how net gains or net losses on each category of financial instruments are determined (e.g.
whether the net gains or losses on items at FVPL include interest or dividend income).
Presentation of fair value gains and losses on financial assets and derivatives
VALUE IFRS Plc’s accounting policies for financial assets and derivatives (notes 25(o) and (p))
specify where in the statement of comprehensive income (or statement of profit or loss, as
applicable) the relevant fair value gains or losses are presented. However, IFRS 9 does not
prescribe the presentation in the statement of comprehensive income. Other ways of
presenting the fair value gains and losses may be equally appropriate. We believe that an
entity’s accounting policy on the presentation of hedge ineffectiveness should be consistent
with the entity’s policy on presenting the results of trading derivatives and derivatives that are
not part of a designated hedge accounting relationship.
Employee benefits
Presentation and measurement of annual leave obligations
VALUE IFRS Plc has presented its obligation for accrued annual leave within current employee
benefit obligations. However, it may be equally appropriate to present these amounts either as
provisions (if the timing and/or amount of the future payments is uncertain, such that they
satisfy the definition of ‘provision’ in IAS 37) or as other payables.
IAS19(8),(BC16)-(BC21)
For measurement purposes, we have assumed that VALUE IFRS Plc has both annual leave
obligations that are classified as short-term benefits and those that are classified as other long-
term benefits under the principles in IAS 19. The appropriate treatment will depend on the
individual facts and circumstances and the employment regulations in the respective countries.
To be classified and measured as short-term benefits, the obligations must be expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the
employee has rendered the related services. The IASB has clarified that this must be assessed
for the annual leave obligation as a whole and not on an employee-by-employee basis.
Industry-specific disclosures

Appendix A: Operating and financial review (management
commentary)
International Organization of Securities Commissions
1. In 2010, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) issued Principles for
Periodic Disclosure by Listed Entities which are aimed at facilitating agreement on common high-
level principles to provide guidance to jurisdictions that are developing or reviewing their periodic
disclosure requirements for listed entities. While IOSCO’s principles and standards are not
mandatory, they are increasingly incorporated in national stock exchange requirements for
prospectuses and annual reports. Following is a summary of IOSCO’s principles for operating and
financial reviews (OFRs) or management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) in annual and interim
reports.
2. According to IOSCO, OFRs/MD&As should provide a balanced explanation of factors that have
affected the entity’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered by the
financial statements. The disclosures should provide a context within which the financial results
and financial position can be interpreted and enable investors to see the entity through the eyes of
management. For example, there should be a discussion based on segment information and
explanations for material changes from year to year in financial statement line items. In particular,
OFRs should cover the following topics:
Operating results
Discuss the significant factors that materially affected the entity’s income from operations, including
unusual or infrequent events or new developments, and the extent to which income was affected
by these factors (e.g. the impact of inflation, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, and any
governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies or factors that have materially
affected, or could materially affect, the company’s operations). Information about any significant
components of revenues and expenses that are necessary to understand the entity’s results of
operations can also be useful.
Liquidity and capital resources
Provide information about the entity’s short-term and long-term liquidity, i.e., its ability to generate
adequate amounts of cash to meet its cash obligations, and its financial key performance indicators
(e.g. the issuer’s internal and external sources of liquidity, a discussion of the risk of illiquidity of
assets that may be held to settle the liabilities of the issuer, any material, unused sources of
liquidity and any material restrictions on all sources of liquidity).
With respect to capital resources, disclose the entity’s material commitments for capital
expenditures as of the end of its latest financial year, the general purpose of such commitments
and the anticipated sources of funds needed to fulfil such commitments.
Trend information
Provide information about the facts and circumstances surrounding known material trends and
uncertainties that could affect the entity’s prospects (e.g. the potential impact of currently known
trends, events and uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have material effects on the entity’s
net sales or revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that
would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating
results or financial condition).
Off-balance sheet arrangements
Disclose any material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a
material effect on the issuer’s financial position. Such arrangements can incur profits and losses
that are not fully transparent to investors.
Critical accounting estimates
Explain any estimates and assumptions involved in applying accounting policies that can have a
material impact on the entity’s reported operating results, financial condition and changes in
financial condition, as well as on the comparability of reported information over different reporting
periods (e.g. because of the subjectivity and judgement required to account for highly uncertain
matters, or because the estimate or assumption could have a material impact on financial condition
or operating performance). Disclose the methodology for determining the critical accounting
estimates, and explain why the accounting estimates or assumptions could change, possibly
combined with an analysis of the sensitivity of the critical accounting estimates and assumptions to
change.

IAS1(138)(b) The group is engaged in the business of farming sheep, primarily for sale to meat processors. The
IAS41(46)(a)
group is also engaged in the business of growing and managing palm oil plantations for the sale of
palm oil. The group earns ancillary income from various agricultural produce, such as wool.
IFRS8(22)(a),(b),(aa) The group’s strategic steering committee, consisting of the chief executive officer, the chief financial
officer and the manager for corporate planning, receives separate reports for each sheep farm and
palm oil plantation. However, the farms and the plantations have been aggregated into two operating
segments, being sheep and palm oil, as they have the same economic characteristics.

(vii) Accounting for land and buildings and oil palm trees
IAS16(73)(a) Land and buildings are recognised at fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by
external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. A revaluation surplus is
credited to other reserves in shareholders’ equity (note 9(b)). All other property, plant and equipment,
including oil palm trees, is recognised at historical cost less depreciation.
IAS16(50),(73)(b) Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net
of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and
certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:
IAS16(73)(c) • Buildings 25–40 years
• Oil palm trees 25 years
• Corporate assets 3–10 years
The group’s oil palm trees qualify as bearer plants under the definition in IAS 41 Agriculture and are
therefore accounted for under the rules for plant and equipment. The trees are classified as immature
until the produce can be commercially harvested. At that point they are reclassified and depreciation
commences. Immature oil palm trees are measured at accumulated cost.

IAS41(46)(b) As at 31 December 2021 the group had 6,500 sheep (2020 – 5,397 sheep) and 3,123 sheep were sold
during the year (2020 – 4,098 sheep sold).
As at 31 December 2021 there were 2,600,000 hectares of palm oil plantations (2020 – 2,170,000
hectares). During the year the group sold 550,000 kgs of palm oil (2020 – 545,000 kgs).
Sheep
Estimates and judgements in determining the fair value of sheep relate to market prices, average
weight and quality of animals, and mortality rates.
The sheep grow at different rates and there can be a considerable spread in the quality and weight of
animals that affects the price achieved. An average weight is assumed for the slaughter sheep
livestock that are not yet at marketable weight.
18 Commitments
IAS41(49)(b) The group has entered into a contract to acquire 250 breeding sheep at 31 December 2021 for
CU1,250,000 (2020 – nil).

25 Summary of significant accounting policies (extracts)
IAS1(112)(a),(117)
25(a) Basis of preparation
(ii) Historical cost convention
IAS1(117)(a) The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
• certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), certain classes of property,
plant and equipment and investment property – measured at fair value
• assets held for sale – measured at fair value less costs to sell
• certain biological assets – measured at fair value less costs to sell, and
• defined benefit pension plans – plan assets measured at fair value.
Biological assets
IFRS IC September 2019 The IFRS IC confirmed that entities may either capitalise the costs relating to the biological
transformation of biological assets (subsequent expenditure) or recognise them as expenses
when incurred. This accounting policy choice is applied consistently to each group of biological
assets and should be disclosed where relevant for an understanding of the financial statements.

Depreciation/amortisation
No depreciation or amortisation is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.
Oil and gas properties intangible assets are depreciated or amortised using the unit-of-production
method. Unit-of-production rates are based on proved developed reserves, which are oil, gas and other
mineral reserves estimated to be recovered from existing facilities using current operating methods. Oil
and gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody
transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the field storage tank.
Impairment – proved oil and gas production properties and intangible assets
IAS36(9),(18),(59) Proven oil and gas properties and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment
loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows.

Comparatives required
Disclosure objectives
IAS1(38) This appendix does not show any comparative information for the illustrative disclosures.
However, readers should note that comparative amounts must be disclosed to comply with the
requirements of IAS 1.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform In August 2020, the IASB made amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, 1 January 2021
Phase 2 – Amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 to address the issues that arise during the reform of
IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and an interest rate benchmark rate, including the replacement of one
IFRS 16 benchmark with an alternative one.
The Phase 2 amendments provide the following reliefs:
• When changing the basis for determining contractual cash flows for
financial assets and liabilities (including lease liabilities), the reliefs
have the effect that the changes, that are necessary as a direct
consequence of IBOR reform and which are considered
economically equivalent, will not result in an immediate gain or loss
in the income statement.
• The hedge accounting reliefs will allow most IAS 39 or IFRS 9
hedge relationships that are directly affected by IBOR reform to
continue. However, additional ineffectiveness might need to be
recorded.
Affected entities need to disclose information about the nature and extent
of risks arising from IBOR reform to which the entity is exposed, how the
entity manages those risks, and the entity’s progress in completing the
transition to alternative benchmark rates and how it is managing that
transition.
Given the pervasive nature of IBOR-based contracts, the reliefs could
affect companies in all industries.
Property, Plant and Equipment: The amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) 1 January 2022
Proceeds before intended use – prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any
Amendments to IAS 16 proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is
preparing the asset for its intended use. It also clarifies that an entity is
‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the
technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial
performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment.
Entities must disclose separately the amounts of proceeds and costs
relating to items produced that are not an output of the entity’s ordinary
activities.
Reference to the Conceptual Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business Combinations to 1 January 2022
Framework – Amendments to update the references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial
IFRS 3 Reporting and add an exception for the recognition of liabilities and
contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Interpretation 21 Levies. The
amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be
recognised at the acquisition date.
Onerous Contracts – Cost of The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies that the direct costs of fulfilling a 1 January 2022
Fulfilling a Contract contract include both the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and an
Amendments to IAS 37 allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling contracts. Before
recognising a separate provision for an onerous contract, the entity
recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in
fulfilling the contract.

Annual Improvements to IFRS The following improvements were finalised in May 2020: 1 January 2022
Standards 2018–2020
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – clarifies which fees should be
included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities.
• IFRS 16 Leases – amendment of illustrative example 13 to remove
the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold
improvements, to remove any confusion about the treatment of
lease incentives.
• IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards – allows entities that have measured their assets and
liabilities at carrying amounts recorded in their parent’s books to
also measure any cumulative translation differences using the
amounts reported by the parent. This amendment will also apply to
associates and joint ventures that have taken the same IFRS 1
exemption.
• IAS 41 Agriculture – removal of the requirement for entities to
exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value under
IAS 41. This amendment is intended to align with the requirement in
the standard to discount cash flows on a post-tax basis.
Classification of Liabilities as The narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial 1 January 2023
Current or Non-current – Statements clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non- (deferred from 1
Amendments to IAS 1 current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting January 2022)
period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or
events after the reporting date (e.g. the receipt of a waver or a breach of
covenant). The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers
to the ‘settlement’ of a liability.
The amendments could affect the classification of liabilities, particularly
for entities that previously considered management’s intentions to
determine classification and for some liabilities that can be converted into
equity.
They must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal
requirements in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors.
Disclosure of Accounting Policies The IASB amended IAS 1 to require entities to disclose their material 1 January 2023
– Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define
Practice Statement 2 what is ‘material accounting policy information’ and explain how to identify
when accounting policy information is material. They further clarify that
immaterial accounting policy information does not need to be disclosed. If
it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting information.
To support this amendment, the IASB also amended IFRS Practice
Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on how
to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
Definition of Accounting Estimates The amendment to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting 1 January 2023
– Amendments to IAS 8 Estimates and Errors clarifies how companies should distinguish changes
in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The
distinction is important, because changes in accounting estimates are
applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, but
changes in accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to
past transactions and other past events as well as the current period.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and The amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes require companies to 1 January 2023
Liabilities arising from a Single recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise
Transaction – Amendments to IAS to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They
12 will typically apply to transactions such as leases of lessees and
decommissioning obligations and will require the recognition of additional
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The amendment should be applied to transactions that occur on or after
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition,
entities should recognise deferred tax assets (to the extent that it is
probable that they can be utilised) and deferred tax liabilities at the
beginning of the earliest comparative period for all deductible and taxable
temporary differences associated with:
• right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and
• decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities, and the
corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related
assets.
The cumulative effect of recognising these adjustments is recognised in
retained earnings, or another component of equity, as appropriate.
IAS 12 did not previously address how to account for the tax effects of
on-balance sheet leases and similar transactions and various approaches
were considered acceptable. Some entities may have already accounted
for such transactions consistent with the new requirements. These
entities will not be affected by the amendments.
* Applicable to reporting periods commencing on or after the given date.

Sale or contribution of assets The IASB has made limited scope amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated n/a **
between an investor and its financial statements and IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint
associate or joint venture – ventures.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and The amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales or contribution
IAS 28 of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures. They
confirm that the accounting treatment depends on whether the non-
monetary assets sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture
constitute a ‘business’ (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations).
Where the non-monetary assets constitute a business, the investor will
recognise the full gain or loss on the sale or contribution of assets. If the
assets do not meet the definition of a business, the gain or loss is
recognised by the investor only to the extent of the other investor’s
interests in the associate or joint venture. The amendments apply
prospectively.
** In December 2015 the IASB decided to defer the application date of
this amendment until such time as the IASB has finalised its research
project on the equity method.
