Notes to the Group financial statements continued Note 1 Accounting policies continued Interest-bearing borrowings Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are initially recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Group Income Statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. Trade payables Trade payables are non interest-bearing and are stated at amortised cost. Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investment activities. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, however if derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting they are accounted for as such. Derivative financial instruments are recognised and stated at fair value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by reference to market values for similar financial instruments, by discounted cash flows, or by the use of option valuation models. Where derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses on remeasurement are immediately recognised in the Group Income Statement. Where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship and the item being hedged. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document from inception the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to document and demonstrate an assessment of the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which shows that the hedge will be highly effective on an ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is performed at each period end to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective. Financial instruments with maturity dates of more than one year from the Balance Sheet date are disclosed as non-current. Fair value hedging Derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value hedges when they hedge the Group’s exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the Group Income Statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for fair value hedge accounting are principally interest rate swaps (including cross currency swaps). 50 Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2008 Cash flow hedging Derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flow hedges when they hedge the Group’s exposure to variability in cash flows that are either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecasted transaction. The effective element of any gain or loss from remeasuring the derivative instrument is recognised directly in equity. The associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the Group Income Statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the Group Income Statement. The classification of the effective portion when recognised in the Group Income Statement is the same as the classification of the hedged transaction. Any element of the remeasurement of the derivative instrument which does not meet the criteria for an effective hedge is recognised immediately in the Group Income Statement within finance income or costs. Derivative instruments qualifying for cash flow hedging are principally forward foreign exchange transactions and currency options. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the Group Income Statement. Net investment hedging Derivative financial instruments are classified as net investment hedges when they hedge the Group’s net investment in an overseas operation. The effective element of any foreign exchange gain or loss from remeasuring the derivative is recognised directly in equity. Any ineffective element is recognised immediately in the Group Income Statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the Group Income Statement when the foreign operation is disposed of. Derivative instruments qualifying for net investment hedging are principally forward foreign exchange transactions and currency options. Treatment of agreements to acquire minority interests The Group has entered into a number of agreements to purchase the remaining shares of subsidiaries with minority shareholdings. Under IAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’, the net present value of the expected future payments are shown as a financial liability. At the end of each period, the valuation of the liability is reassessed with any changes recognised in the Group Income Statement within finance income or costs for the year. Where the liability is in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the liability has been designated as a net investment hedge. Any change in the value of the liability resulting from changes in exchange rates is recognised directly in equity. www.tesco.com/annualreport08
Note 1 Accounting policies continued Provisions Provisions for onerous leases are recognised when the Group believes that the unavoidable costs of meeting the lease obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under the lease. Where material these leases are discounted to their present value. Recent accounting developments Standards, amendments and interpretations effective for 2007/8 or issued and early adopted: In preparing the Group financial statements for the current year, the Group has adopted the following new IFRS, amendments to IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations which have not had a significant impact on the results or net assets of the Group: > IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ and amendments to IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements – Capital Disclosures’. These amendments revise and enhance previous disclosures required by IAS 32 and IAS 30 ‘Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions’. The adoption of IFRS 7 has had no effect on the results or net assets of the Group. > Revised guidance on implementing IFRS 4, ‘Insurance Contracts’. > IFRIC 6 ‘Liabilities Arising from Participating in a Specific Market – waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)’, effective from 1 July 2007 (date from which the WEEE Directive became applicable in the UK). > IFRIC 7 ‘Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economics’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2006. > IFRIC 8 ‘Scope of IFRS 2’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006. > IFRIC 9 ‘Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2006. > IFRIC 10 ‘Interims and Impairment’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 November 2006. > IFRIC 11 ‘Group and Treasury Share Transactions’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007 was early adopted by the Group. Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective, but not expected to have a significant impact on the Group: > IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ was issued in November 2006 and is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. This new standard replaces IAS 14 ‘Segment Reporting’ and requires segmental disclosures to be presented on the same basis that management uses to evaluate performance of its reporting segments in its management reporting. We do not expect the adoption of IFRS 8 to have a significant impact upon the results or net assets of the Group. > Amendment to IAS 23 ‘Borrowing Costs’ was issued in March 2007, and becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The standard has been revised to require capitalisation of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a qualifying asset. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments to IAS 23 to have a significant impact upon the results or net assets of the Group. > IFRIC 12 ‘Service Concession Arrangements’ was issued in November 2006 and becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. This interpretation applies to public sector service concession operators and explains how to account for the obligations undertaken and rights received in service concession arrangements. No member of the Group is a public sector operator and hence this interpretation will have no impact on the Group. > IFRIC 14 ‘The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction’ was issued in July 2007 and becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. This interpretation provides guidance on how to assess the limit on the amount of surplus in a defined benefit scheme that can be recognised as an asset under IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’. The Group expects that this interpretation will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group as all defined benefit schemes are currently in deficit. Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective and under review as to their impact on the Group: > Amendment to IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. > Amendment to IAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ and IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements – Puttable Instruments and Instruments with Obligations Arising on Liquidation’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. > Amendment to IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payment’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. > Amendment to IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. > Amendments to IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. > IFRIC 13 ‘Customer loyalty programmes’ was issued in June 2007 and becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008. This interpretation requires customer loyalty award credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted and therefore part of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credits and deferred over the period that the award credits are fulfilled. Use of non-GAAP profit measures – underlying profit before tax The Directors believe that underlying profit before tax and underlying diluted earnings per share measures provide additional useful information for shareholders on underlying trends and performance. These measures are used for internal performance analysis. Underlying profit is not defined by IFRS and therefore may not be directly comparable with other companies’ adjusted profit measures. It is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to IFRS measurements of profit. Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2008 51
