HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND

2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

4 WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE

Coinciding with the start of my two-year term as HAI President, the beginning of 2015 marked the election of a new Executive Committee. Above all else, the primary objective we set ourselves was to stem the decline in Association membership and attract new members - by making the Association more relevant, accessible and effective, especially to merchants, large and small.

To guide the Association’s efforts in achieving this overriding objective, the Executive Committee adopted a three-year Strategic Plan in early 2015 “to advance the mutual interests of, and deliver relevant benefi ts to, hardware and builders

merchants through effective representation,

education, market intelligence and

networking opportunities”. Thanks in large part to the hard work of HAI CEO, Annemarie Harte and her team in executing the

Strategic Plan, I am delighted to

report that overall membership increased

by 13% in 2015, the fi rst such increase since the economic downturn.

Indeed, all initiatives implemented or initiated during 2015 were consistent with the four strategic pillars outlined in the Strategic Plan. The 2015 Hardware Show, held in February in Citywest, for example, was by general consensus one of the largest, best attended and most professional Shows ever organised by and for our sector, attracting over 150 exhibitors and almost 2,000 visitors. Of greater importance as I pen this note is the outlook for the 2017 Show being held in March 2017 - based on the work being done by HAI Vice-President, Kieran Burke and his organising committee, I am absolutely certain that the bar will be raised even higher.

HAI’s Budget 2016 Submission in October 2015 was successful in securing a 12-month extension to the Home


2015 ANNUAL REPORT


Renovation Incentive scheme until December 2016. Our call for this extension followed my address on behalf of HAI members directly to An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny TD, at the Octabuild Awards ceremony in May 2015, followed by my meeting alongside HAI CEO, Annemarie Harte, with Minister Noonan in September 2015. Over 56,000 works have been registered with the scheme across more than 39,000 individual properties nationwide since the scheme began in October 2013, with the total value of works to-date estimated at over €887 million. While it is impossible to quantify how much of this was spent directly with HAI members, there is no doubt that the scheme has encouraged increased RMI activity across all counties where HAI members are located. It is also pleasing that a creative social media campaign (“ReNOvation”), implemented by HAI as part of its overall lobbying effort and noted by policymakers, won Bronze at the 2016 APMC Promotional Marketing Awards.

2015 also saw the establishment of the HAI Monthly Business Index. With over 150 branch locations now participating in this anonymous Index, it provides for the very fi rst time useful benchmark information across our sector. Indeed, acknowledging that our sector lags behind others in the availability of useful, credible data, HAI is committed to producing research to help its members make more informed business decisions.

Identifying training as a much-needed service offering, various training courses were introduced during 2015 alongside an online e-learning platform. Having seen the level of demand for courses on credit control, fi nancial management and social media for business, to name but a few, additional resources are being allocated to broaden the Association’s education offering.

And finally, one measure of particular importance to the Association provides optimism for the future – 84% of HAI members who responded to a 2015 survey indicated that they would recommend the Association to others, up from just 15% a couple of years ago. This improvement wasn’t achieved by accident. Approaching 2016 and my second year as President, during which we have plans to broaden the range of service benefits available to members, I would like to sincerely thank the members of the Executive Committee, as well as Annemarie Harte and her team, for their hard work and support during 2015. However, I would like to pay special thanks to the many merchants and suppliers who make up Hardware Association Ireland – it is your Association and I hope you will continue to support and actively participate in its development.

TREASURER’S REPORT

While 2015 has been a successful year for HAI there are still many fi nancial challenges ahead for our organisation.

The focus of the Executive, over recent years, on income generation through increased membership levels and other commercial activities has continued during 2015. While these increases have a positive impact on our fi nances, the broadening of our membership base throughout our sector is still the most important driver for HAI.

In changing our fi nancial year to January – December, our accounts refl ect thirteen months to the end of December 2015 versus twelve months for the previous trading period.

Our bi-annual Trade Show, held in February 2015, was our most successful ever. This success can be measured in both fi nancial and strategic terms and the efforts of both our trade show committee and our head offi ce team are to be commended. Planning for the 2017 event is at an advanced stage; however the overall success of the event is dependent on support from the broad membership base through both participation by manufacturers and suppliers and attendance by all sectors of our ever-diversifying industry. I encourage you to book your space early to take advantage of the opportunities that this superb event brings, while at the same time, adding your support to HAI.

To further increase the scope of activities for our members

in particular and the sector in general, it was

decided to promote an inaugural Conference in early 2016. The

fi nancial planning for this important event was structured during 2015 to set the groundwork for our HAI National Conference in Kilkenny.

Recent trends of declining membership numbers have now been reversed thanks to the endeavour of our head offi ce team. This has been achieved not only through recruitment but also the increase in levels of activities and support for members, which provides both fi nancial and tangible gain for HAI.

Training activities, once a major part of HAI activity, have played a far more important role within our structure in 2015. Again the benefi ts are tangible as well as fi nancial and the plans initiated in 2015 are budgeted to show fi nancial benefi t for HAI in 2016 and subsequent years.

HAI continued to invest in our brand during 2015, through PR, marketing and social media activities. Where possible we manage these activities internally but we also need the support of external agencies to reach our goals. This investment, along with the HAI Business Index which is now building a solid database of real-time market information, are seen by the Executive as necessary to develop and nurture HAI to represent your businesses in a progressive and dynamic way.

As always, all of our work would not be possible without the support of my colleagues in HAI Head Offi ce, Annemarie, Jim and Amanda and the 2015 Executive Committee for their support during the year. Finally I would like to thank all of our 2015 members for their backing for HAI, as your support continues to enable us to uniquely represent all levels of the supply chain within our industry

To further increase the scope of activities for our members

in particular and the sector in general, it was

decided to promote an decided to promote an inaugural Conference in early 2016. The

CEO REPORT

2015 marked my fi rst full fi nancial year as the CEO of HAI. Whilst it has been a slow but rewarding process to learn more and more about the sector as I meet people involved at various levels, I maintain that the recipe of running an effective Association is the same irrespective of what area it operates in. I am not too concerned about competing with other business-oriented associations and groups to attract new members or to keep existing members’ loyalty, our job is fundamentally to offer products and services that are appropriate and relevant to the hardware and building materials sector and not take a broad brush approach. If we can get this right I hope members will continue to support us throughout the good times and the bad. Combined with this we need to act in the best interests of all members despite being in the unique position of having customers, their suppliers and competitors as members in the same space. This makes the job, at times, tricky but regardless, our unique proposition to each of these groups must be clearly defi ned.

Foundation work was done in 2015 to pursue key objectives under the four strategic pillars of Representation, Education, Market Intelligence and Networking. Giving the Association focus through the Strategic Plan and placing retailers and merchants at the heart of the organisation allows us to monitor our activities for suitability and more importantly

whether it will add value to our members’ business. This is foremost in our mind as we don’t have the resource to do everything, and in order to deliver a service that will be valuable and assist in our members’ day-to-day business operations we need to maintain and increase our sector-specifi c agenda.

Communications with our members continues to permeate our Strategic Plan as well as increasing our membership numbers in order to be a stronger association both fi nancially so we can add to our services, and to ensure our voice is strong through strength in numbers. We endeavour to maintain the greatest level of member communication and information during the year. Member centricity is our emphasis in order to grow and improve our service delivery mechanisms and to place a focus on tools and resources that enable members to access information quickly and effi ciently.

During 2015 we redesigned the HAI website and improved The Hardware Journal content so that the four pillars of the Strategic Plan were embedded in our two principle marketing and communications tools. Our increased communications and validity of offering started to pay off by the end of June as we started to gain more members than we lost in 2014. Associations tend to have an attrition rate of about 8% but we managed to halt ours at 4.8% which by industry standards is a great success.

REPRESENTATION

EDUCATION

In April 2015, we started to research our policy priorities in order to prepare our Budget Submission for 2016. The Home Renovation Incentive scheme continued to see investment during 2015 especially in the areas of home extensions and general repairs and renovations. The fi rst two months spend in 2015 through the scheme topped over €50 million, bringing total value of works to €348 million by the end of February since the scheme started in October 2013. This fi gure more than doubled by the end of the year with over €700 million spent. The scheme was due to expire by the 31st December 2015 but it became our number one policy priority to get it extended beyond this date and ideally for another two years.

This and eight other sector-specifi c policies formed the backbone of our submission to the Government:

1. Home Renovation Incentive (HRI) scheme extension.2. Introduce voucher scheme for winter fuel allowance.3. Fuel smuggling.4. Promoting Prompt Payment.

5. Bring the Construction Contracts Bill into law.6. Commercial rates reduction/relief for yards/temporary

structures.7. Lower VAT on tools.8. VAT back in rural areas for one off houses of <1200 sq. ft.9. Corporation tax allowance on profi ts less than €50,000.

It can often be challenging in a crowded space of budget submissions, lobbying and advocacy from various organisations, to have your voice heard. We are members of the Retail Consultation Forum, established under the Action Plan for Jobs 2014 and chaired by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, and attend their meetings and specialist groups including contributing to their annual joint Budget Submission.

During 2015, we also consulted on the Scheme of a proposed Consumer Rights Bill and participated in briefi ngs on the introduction of Rounding and the introduction of it on 28th October 2015.

As the sector emerges from the downturn, it’s more important than ever to ensure training needs analysis are undertaken to plan for the future of your business and ensure your company has the right skill sets for now and into the future. In May 2015, retailer/merchant members told us that 58% of them intended to recruit and 85% of suppliers intended to do the same and in response we launched our fi rst online training programme – New Employee Induction Course. There are six basic modules to complete with tests in between and reports can be provided to the employee’s manager from HAI to gauge success and completion levels.

HAI training programmes are aimed at providing member companies with options to develop their staff at a suitable time and cost effectively. All HAI training courses are priced competitively to ensure maximum value for money. Although courses were based in Dublin during 2015 we are set to expand to regional centres during 2016.

Courses now include Credit Management (notably the most popular course) Finance, Sales, Customer Service, Social Media Marketing and Solid Fuel Awareness through Metac Training’s state of the art training centre in Mountrath, Co. Laois.

Pesticides training was particularly prominent in 2015,

as from 26th November, any premises selling PPPs must have ‘on-site’ at all times a person qualifi ed in Pesticide Distribution (FETAC Level 5 course for professional use products or an online course for amateur products), and be registered with the DAFM. This person must be available to provide information to customers as regards pesticide use and health and environmental risk and safety. Training is provided through the MBE Skillnet.

HAI started to work with the DCU Centre for Family Business to inform and educate members on succession planning. Articles and lectures on the subject have proved popular and we’ll continue to build this relationship as hardware and builders merchants pass their business from one generation to the next.

We also started working with Management Work’s Business Growth programme which has been specifi cally devised for SMEs and in particular Owner Managers, Managing Directors and Senior management team members. The programme’s aim is to increase skills in fi nancial planning, time management, sales, marketing, teamwork, customer service and leadership to match the participant’s management capability with technical expertise. The course is held in various locations throughout the country.




The priority activity for 2015 was the launch of our monthly Business Index of net retail sales and engaging members to participate. We initially asked participating members for the information monthly and published it monthly, however as the months went on this proved very challenging from an administration and production perspective. The data, which is collected in confidence through our partner research agency Behaviours & Attitudes (B&A), is never seen by HAI and for participating members, a summarised anonymised report is produced and for non-participating members, an infographic is published alongside a summary report.

For the third year running HAI conducted a member confi dence survey with responses collected and organised by B&A. 51% of merchants reported a better performance in the past 12 months (2015 vs 2014), almost double the fi gure recorded in 2013 when the monitor was fi rst completed when only 27% reported an improvement. However, there was a decline in business profi tability with 31% of members indicating a change since the same time in 2014 when 37% felt profi tability was up. This didn’t impact on taking on new staff as 26% have taken on new staff since the same time in 2014. 47% of members increased prices, that was an increase of 39% on 2014 and over double

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

Arguably the simplest but hardest activity to get right is Networking. Engaging members in a productive, effective and enjoyable meeting that doesn’t waste time takes a special mix and the trouble is you don’t know how good it’s going to be until it’s done!

For our AGM in June 2015 we focused on one key subject, the Introduction of the Companies Act from 1st June and

it was well attended and worth while with the opportunity to network afterwards.

In the summer the Executive Committee took the decision to hold a Hardware Conference the in the following spring. This would prove to take up a lot of time and energy to plan from September 2015.

Alex TaylorDirector





Directors’ responsibilities statement for the period ended 31 December 2015

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the fi nancial statements in accordance with Irish law and regulations.

Irish company law requires the directors to prepare fi nancial statements for each fi nancial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the fi nancial statements in accordance with Companies Act 2014 and FRS 102 The Financial Re-porting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by Chartered Accountants Ireland. Under company law, the directors must not approve the fi nancial statements unless they are satisfi ed that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and fi nancial position of the company as at the fi nancial year end date and of the surplus or defi cit of the company for that fi nancial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014.

In preparing these fi nancial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies for the company fi nancial statements and then apply them consistently;make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards , identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and

• prepare the fi nancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company keeps or causes to be kept adequate accounting records which correctly explain and record the transactions of the company, enable at any time the assets, liabilities, fi nancial position and surplus or defi cit of the company to be determined with reasonable accuracy, enable them to ensure that the fi nancial state-ments and Directors’ Report comply with the Companies Act 2014 and enable the fi nancial statements to be audited. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Income and Expenditure Account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

Income and expenditure account for the period ended 31 december 2015We have audited the fi nancial statements of Hardware Association Ireland for the period ended 31 December 2015 which comprise the Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. The relevant fi nancial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the Companies Act 2014 and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council.This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditorsAs explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial statements and for being satisfi ed that they give a true and fair view and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the fi nancial statements in accordance with Irish law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the fi nancial statementsAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements suffi cient to give reasonable assurance that the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements. In addition, we read all the fi nancial and non-fi nancial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited fi nancial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on fi nancial statementsIn our opinion the fi nancial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the assets, liabilities and fi nancial position of the company as at 31 December 2015 and of its defi cit for the period then ended; and

• have been properly prepared in accordance with FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council and, in particular, the requirements of the Companies Act 2014.

• ● We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.

• In our opinion the accounting records of the company were suffi cient to permit the fi nancial statements to be readily and properly audited.The fi nancial statements are in agreement with the accounting records.

• In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the fi nancial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exceptionWe have nothing to report in respect of our obligation under the Companies Act 2014 to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of director’s remuneration and transactions specifi ed by sections 305 to 312 of the Act are not made.

1 Accounting policies

Company information Hardware Association Ireland is a company limited by guarantee domiciled and incorporated in the Republic of Ireland. The registered offi ce is Lioscarran House, 32 Dale Road, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin.

1.1 Accounting convention These fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2014.

The fi nancial statements are prepared in euros, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these fi nancial statements are rounded to the nearest €.

The fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These fi nancial statements for the period ended 31 December 2015 are the fi rst fi nancial statements of Hardware Association Ireland prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 December 2013. The reported fi nancial position and fi nancial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 299 of the Companies Act 2014 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The fi nancial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

1.2 Going concern At the time of approving the fi nancial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the fi nancial statements.

1.3 Income and expenditure Income and expenses are included in the fi nancial statements as they become receivable or due. Expenses include VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim it.

1.4 Tangible fi xed assets Tangible fi xed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and Machinery 10% straight Line Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 12.5% straight Line Motor vehicles 20% straight Line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profi t or loss.





1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.5 Fixed asset investments Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in surplus or defi cit.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities.

1.6 Impairment of fi xed assets At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset for which the estimates of future cash fl ows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in surplus or defi cit, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash- generating unit) prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profi t or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its fi nancial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company’s statement of fi nancial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the fi nancial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.





Basic fi nancial assets Basic fi nancial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a fi nancing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Other fi nancial assets Other fi nancial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profi t or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of fi nancial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through surplus and defi cit, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the fi nancial asset, the estimated future cash fl ows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash fl ows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in surplus or defi cit. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in surplus or defi cit.

Derecognition of fi nancial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the fi nancial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classifi cation of fi nancial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic fi nancial liabilities Basic fi nancial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classifi ed as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a fi nancing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classifi ed as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.






Other fi nancial liabilities Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic fi nancial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profi t or loss in fi nance costs or fi nance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash fl ow hedge.

Derecognition of fi nancial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or can celled.

1.9 Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.10 Taxation The tax currently payable is based on taxable profi t for the year. Taxable profi t differs from net profi t as reported in the profi t and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profi ts. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profi t nor the accounting profi t.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi ts will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profi t and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.11 Employee benefi ts The costs of short-term employee benefi ts are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fi xed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefi ts are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefi ts.

1.12 Retirement benefi ts Payments to defi ned contribution retirement benefi t schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Leases Leases are classifi ed as fi nance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classifi ed as operating leases.





Assets held under fi nance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a fi nance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the profi t and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefi ts from the lease asset are consumed.

2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most signifi cant effect on amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements.

Establishing useful economic lives for depreciation purposes of tangible fi xed assets Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of Tangible fi xed assets, comprise a signifi cant portion of the total assets. The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated useful economic lives of each type of asset and estimates of residual values. The directors regularly review these asset useful economic lives and change them as necessary to refl ect current thinking on remaining lives in light of prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned. Changes in asset useful lives can have a signifi cant impact on depreciation and amortisation charges for the period. Detail of the useful economic lives is included in the accounting policies.

Directors’ Responsibilities Statement for the year ended 31 December 2015

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the fi nancial statements in accordance with Irish law and regulations

Irish company law requires the directors to prepare fi nancial statements for each fi nancial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the fi nancial statements in accordance with Companies Act 2014 and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by Chartered Accountants Ireland. Under company law, the directors must not approve the fi nancial statements unless they are satisfi ed that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and fi nancial position of the company as at the fi nancial year end date and of the profi t or loss of the company for that fi nancial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014.

In preparing these fi nancial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies for the company fi nancial statements and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards ,identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and

• prepare the fi nancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company keeps or causes to be kept adequate accounting records which correctly explain and record the transactions of the company, enable at any time the assets, liabilities, fi nancial position and profi t or loss of the company to be determined with reasonable accuracy, enable them to ensure that the fi nancial statements and Directors’ Report comply with the Companies Act 2014 and enable the fi nancial statements to be audited. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Hardware Journal Limited

We have audited the fi nancial statements of The Hardware Journal Limited for the year ended 31 December 2015 which comprise the Profi t And Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. The relevant fi nancial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the Companies Act 2014 and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council.

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditorsAs explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial statements and for being satisfi ed that they give a true and fair view and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the fi nancial statements in accordance with Irish law and Inter-national Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the fi nancial statementsAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements suffi cient to give reasonable assurance that the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements. In addition, we read all the fi nancial and non-fi nancial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited fi nancial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on fi nancial statementsIn our opinion the fi nancial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the assets, liabilities and fi nancial position of the company as at 31 December 2015 and of its profi t for the year then ended; and

• have been properly prepared in accordance with FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council and, in particular, the requirements of the Companies Act 2014

Matters on which we are required to report by the Companies Act 2014• We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.• In our opinion the accounting records of the company were suffi cient to permit the fi nancial statements to be• readily and properly audited.• The fi nancial statements are in agreement with the accounting records.• In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the fi nancial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exceptionWe have nothing to report in respect of our obligation under the Companies Act 2014 to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of director’s remuneration and transactions specifi ed by sections 305 to 312 of the Act are not made.

1 Accounting policies Company information The Hardware Journal Limited is a limited company domiciled and incorporated in Republic of Ireland. The registered

offi ce is Lioscarran House, 32 Dale Road, Stillorgan, Co Dublin.

1.1 Accounting convention These fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable

in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2014.

The fi nancial statements are prepared in euros, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these fi nancial statements are rounded to the nearest €.

The fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 are the fi rst fi nancial statements of The Hardware Journal Limited prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 January 2014. The reported fi nancial position and fi nancial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 299 of the Companies Act 2014 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The fi nancial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

1.2 Going concern At the time of approving the fi nancial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has

adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the fi nancial statements.

1.3 Turnover Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the

normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

When cash infl ows are deferred and represent a fi nancing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is the present value of the future receipts. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and the nominal amount received is recognised as interest income.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue from contracts for the provision of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

1.4 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments

with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.





1.5 Financial instruments The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other

Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its fi nancial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company’s statement of fi nancial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the fi nancial statements, when there is a legally enforce able right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic fi nancial assets Basic fi nancial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at

transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a fi nancing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Other fi nancial assets Other fi nancial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint

ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profi t or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of fi nancial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profi t and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at

each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the fi nancial asset, the estimated future cash fl ows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash fl ows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profi t or loss.

Derecognition of fi nancial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the asset expire or are settled,

or when the company transfers the fi nancial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classifi cation of fi nancial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements

entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.




1 Accounting policies (Continued) Basic fi nancial liabilities Basic fi nancial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and

preference shares that are classifi ed as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a fi nancing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classifi ed as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other fi nancial liabilities Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic fi nancial instruments.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profi t or loss in fi nance costs or fi nance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash fl ow hedge.

Derecognition of fi nancial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.6 Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends

payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.7 Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profi t for the year. Taxable profi t differs from net profi t as reported in the

profi t and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the

extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profi ts. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profi t nor the accounting profi t.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi ts will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profi t and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
