2016 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

After a busy first year, the start of the second year of my As our Association’s primary communication tool, it’s term as HAI President proved similarly busy, preparing for the important that every effort be made to enhance the inaugural Hardware Conference held in April 2016 in the Lyrath readability and value of The Hardware Journal. With this in Hotel, Co. Kilkenny. Planning for this event started in summer mind, the Journal underwent a redesign in 2016 with the 2015 when the Executive Committee confirmed the importance introduction of interviews with leading industry figures, the of networking as a key pillar in the Association’s strategic sharing of key insights from international conferences and plan and identified the need for a networking/educational events, and a greater focus on the availability of credible, event for members in the period between biennial Hardware sector-specific data following the establishment in 2015 of Shows. As HAI is committed to proactively supporting the the business index. While we believe further improvements professionalisation of the Hardware sector, I’m pleased that are necessary, the efforts made to-date were independently the Conference was adjudged a big success by those who acknowledged by the professional publishing community attended, such that it is now intended to be a permanent fixture with the Journal winning ‘Business to Business Magazine of in the Association calendar. Given the risks associated with the Year’ at December’s Irish Magazine Awards. any inaugural event, I especially want to thank the Conference Another milestone during 2016 was HAI’s move into new sponsors – Ames True Temper, Bostik, Dulux, Glennon modern premises at the back of the Johnston Logistics Brothers, Gyproc, Irish Cement, Kingspan, Sanbra premises on the city-bound side of the N7 (Naas Road), Co Fyffe, Tegral and Wavin - without whose generous support the Dublin. This convenient location event wouldn’t have been possible. has already proven popular Above all others, the primary objective we set ourselves since as a base for HAI training 2015 was to stem the decline in Association membership as well as a venue and attract new members - by making the Association more for members’ own relevant, visible, accessible and effective, especially for meetings. merchants, large and small. In this regard, we remain resolute Unfortunately, 2016 will in our commitment to the mission statement underpinning also be remembered for our Strategic Plan - “to advance the mutual interests of, and Brexit and the decision in deliver relevant benefits to, hardware and builders merchants June to exit the UK from through effective representation, education, market the EU.

Following detailed review, new Articles were passed at an EGM in November to reflect a revised Executive Committee and voting took place in December to elect candidates for the new term 2017/2018.

As I handover to new HAI President, Kieran Burke, I would like to thank both HAI management and staff, as well as the outgoing 2015/2016 Executive Committee, for their input and support during my 2-year term and to wish Kieran and Later in 2016, HAI’s Budget Submission was again the incoming Executive Committee every success. instrumental in securing a further extension to the Home Renovation Incentive (HRI) scheme until December 2018. Almost 88,000 works (to April 2017) have been registered since the scheme began in October 2013 across more than 59,000 individual properties nationwide, with the total value of works to-date estimated at over €1.4 billion. While it is impossible to quantify how much of this was spent directly with HAI members, there is no doubt that the scheme has Hugh O’Donnell encouraged increased RMI activity across all counties where President 2016 HAI members are located. In the lead up to Budget 2017, myself and CEO, Annemarie Harte also met with Housing Minister, Simon Coveney, to discuss his intentions to deal with the under supply of residential housing through his framework ‘Rebuilding Ireland’. The urgent, ambitious and wide-ranging plan has high targets to achieve and we were enthused by his commitment and resilience to ensuring it delivers.

As 2016 drew to a close and my term as President came to an end, the Executive Committee prepared revised Articles of Association to restructure the governance of HAI. During its two-year tenure, the 2015/2016 Executive Committee examined in detail whether the governance structure of the Association was fit for purpose. The process included listening to members, monitoring National Council WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 5 HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND

To run a successful event and return a profit was again testament to the skills of those involved, however yet again we are indebted to the suppliers who came on board as sponsors to support this new initiative.

Income from training activities reflected the efforts put into this area, traditionally a pillar of the Association. By using our new amenity in Rathcoole, we were able to offer very competitive rates for our members while, at the same time, showcasing our new facilities. Canvassing for training activities and the Conference were both an important part of HAI’s overall Marketing Plan for 2016.

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2016

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Principal activities The principal activities of the company are the promotion and protection of the business of the members of the company in matters affecting the business or business carried on by them. The company will take such action as may be necessary or desirable to promote such interests. The Board of Hardware Association Ireland is looking at the future development of our trade sector and how best the Hardware Association Ireland can assist members to add value to their business and the Board and management of Hardware Association Ireland are proactively working with members to assist in whatever way possible.

The principal risks are that subscriptions and other incomes could be affected by a reduction in members.

Directors and secretary The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows: Anne Marie Harte Patrick Kelly Hugh O’Donnell Kieran Burke Charlie Hamilton Alex Taylor Seamus O’Donoghue Kevin Myers Paddy Kingham Sean Moran Darren Fogarty Keith Giblin

Results and dividends The results for the year are set out on page 6.

Supplier payment policy The directors acknowledge their responsibility for ensuring compliance, in all material respects, with the provisions of the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012. Procedures have been implemented to identify the dates upon which invoices fall due for payment and to ensure that payments are made by such dates. Such procedures provide reasonable assurance against material non-compliance with the Regulations. The payment policy during the year under review was to comply with the requirements of the Regulations.

Accounting records The company’s directors are aware of their responsibilities, under sections 281 to 285 of the Companies Act 2014 as to whether in their opinion, the accounting records of the company are sufficient to permit the financial statements to be readily and properly audited and are discharging their responsibility by employing qualified and experienced staff, ensuring that sufficient company resources are available for the task and liaising with the company’s auditors.

The accounting records are held at the company’s registered office, Blackchurch Business Park, Naas Road, Blackchurch, Rathcoole, Co Dublin.

Post reporting date events There have been no events since the year end.

Future developments The directors are not expecting to make any significant changes in the nature of the business in the near future.

WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 3 HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Auditor In accordance with the company’s articles, a resolution proposing that Lalor O’Shea McQuillan be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.

Statement of directors’ responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with Irish law and regulations.

Irish company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial 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 financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at the financial year end date and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that financial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

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

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the financial 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 financial 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, financial position and surplus or deficit of the company to be determined with reasonable accuracy, enable them to ensure that the financial statements and Directors’ Report comply with the Companies Act 2014 and enable the financial 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.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

Each of the directors in office at the date of approval of this annual report confirms that:

• so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware, and

• the director has taken all the steps that he / she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself / herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of section 330 of the Companies Act 2014.

On behalf of the board

Anne Marie Harte Alex Taylor Director Director 8 May 2017

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the financial statements of Hardware Association Ireland for the year ended 31 December 2016 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 financial 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 and promulgated by Chartered Accountants Ireland.

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 auditor As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied 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 financial 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 financial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial 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 significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial 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 financial statements In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at 31 December 2016 and of its deficit 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 sufficient to permit the financial statements to be readily and properly audited.

• The financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records.

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

WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 5 HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Matters on which we are required to report by exception We 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 specified by sections 305 to 312 of the Act are not made.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Statement of cash flows for the period ended 31 December 2016 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 1 Accounting policies

Company information Hardware Association Ireland is a company limited by guarantee domiciled and incorporated in Republic of Ireland. The registered office is Blackchurch Business Park, Naas Road, Blackchurch, Rathcoole, Co Dublin.

1.1 Accounting convention These financial 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 financial statements are prepared in euros, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest €.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 299 of the Companies Act 2014 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The financial 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 financial 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 financial statements.

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

1.4 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed 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:

Leasehold land and buildings 20% straight line 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 surplus or deficit.

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 deficit.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 11 HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting period 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 flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows 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 deficit, 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) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit, unless the relevant asset is carried 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 are basic financial assets and 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 financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company’s statement of financial 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 financial 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 financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors 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 financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets Other financial 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 surplus or deficit, 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.

12 WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through surplus and deficit, 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 financial asset, the estimated future cash flows 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 flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in surplus or deficit.

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 deficit.

Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant 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.

Classification of financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified 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 financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

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

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

Other financial liabilities Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in surplus or deficit in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value though profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

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

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

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.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit 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 profits. 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 profit nor the accounting profit.

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 sufficient taxable profits 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 profit 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.

1.10 Employee benefits The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

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

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

1.11 Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 1.12 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance 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 finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

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 significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Establishing useful economic lives for depreciation purposes of tangible fixed assets Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of Tangible fixed assets, comprise a significant 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 reflect 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 significant impact on depreciation and amortisation charges for the period. Detail of the useful economic lives is included in the accounting policies. 3 Income/Service charges

The total income of the company for the year has been derived from its principal activity wholly undertaken in the Republic of Ireland.

Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2016

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hardware Association Ireland.

Principal activities The principal activity of the company continued to be the organisation of exhibitions and conferences for the hardware industry.

Fair review of the business The results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered unsatisfactory by the directors who hope to return to profitability in the next financial period.

Development and performance The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company include those that could arise from adverse developments in the following areas • changes in the current economic climate in Ireland • the intensity of competition in the company’s markets • the economic,demographic and other macro factors affecting the company’s products • relationship with key suppliers The board regularly monitors all of the above risks and appropriate actions are taken to mitigate those risks or address their potential adverse consequences.

Procedures have been implemented to identify the dates upon which invoices fall due for payment and to ensure that payments are made by such dates. Such procedures provide reasonable assurance against material non-compliance with the Regulations.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2016

1 Accounting policies Company information Hardware Ventures Limited is a limited company domiciled and incorporated in Republic of Ireland. The registered office is Blackchurch Business Park, Naas Road, Blackchurch, Rathcoole, Co Dublin.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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 inflows are deferred and represent a financing 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 significant 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 benefits associated with the transaction will flow 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 are basic financial assets and 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2016

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

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 financial instruments.

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

Other financial assets Other financial 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 profit 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 financial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

12 WWW.HARDWAREASSOCIATION.IE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2016

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

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

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

Derecognition of financial 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 profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit 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 profits. 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 profit nor the accounting profit.
