DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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.

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. Financing activities Repayment of bank loans (719) (1,381) The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 299 of the Companies Act 2014 not to prepare consolidated accounts.

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

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.

CB Hardware Annual Report 2016.indd 14 24/06/2016 11:32 HARDWARE ASSOCIATION IRELAND (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital)

DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

3 Income/Service charges The total income of the company for the period has been derived from its principal activity wholly undertaken in the Republic of Ireland.

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;

• 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.

On behalf of the board

CB Hardware Annual Report 2016.indd 4 24/06/2016 11:33 THE HARDWARE JOURNAL

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 auditors As 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 statements An 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 statements In 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
