Kildare. 3 THE TIPPERARY RACE COMPANY PLC DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) Events since the financial year end There has been one significant event affecting the company since the financial year end. 1. The impact of COVID-19 has had a very significant effect on The Tipperary Race Company PLC with a loss of revenue. On the 25th March 2020, all Irish horse racing was cancelled in line with Government guidelines. On 8th June 2020, racing resumed behind closed doors with strict protocols in place. Work is ongoing and the financial impact is still under review. Principal risks and uncertainties There are certain risks and uncertainties which may have an effect on the company's performance. This includes: - where the racecourse is unable to hold a race meeting due to the weather conditions it will endeavour to reschedule the race meeting to a later date. - The impact of COVID-19 and the continued disruption to the racing calendar including racing behind closed doors impacting the company's ability to generate revenue. The company has considered the risks and is in a position to respond quickly to changes in economic conditions to ensure its business objectives are achieved. Auditors In accordance with Section 383 (2) of the Companies Act 2014 and section 13 (2) of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Act 2001 the Comptroller and Auditor General will continue as auditor of the company. Directors' compliance statement The directors, in accordance with Section 225(2)(a) of the Companies Act 2014 (the "Act"), acknowledge that they are responsible for securing the Company's compliance with its "relevant obligations". "Relevant obligations", in the context of the Company, are the Company's obligations under: a) the Act, where a breach of the obligations would be a category 1 or category 2 offence; b) the Act, where a breach of the obligation would be a serious Market Abuse or Prospectus offence; and c) tax law. Pursuant to Section 225(2)(b) of the Act while the Directors are satisfied that there are appropriate arrangements and structures in place that, in their opinion, secure material compliance with the Company's relevant obligations, pursuant to Section 225(2)(b) of the Act, the directors confirm that the Company has drawn up a compliance policy statement as required by Section 225(3)(a) of the Act. 4 THE TIPPERARY RACE COMPANY PLC DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) Directors' responsibilities statement (continued) Irish company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2014 and generally accepted accounting practice including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. 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 profit or loss of the company for the financial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business; and - 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. The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company keeps adequate accounting records which correctly explain and record the transactions of the company, enable at any time the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss 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. Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies (2016) The Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies (2016) requires additional disclosures in relation to certain categories of expenditure. These requirements have been addressed in the Governance Statements and Statement of internal control within the Group Financial Statements of Horse Racing Ireland. The company was compliant with the Code of Practice of State Bodies in 2018.
