Illustrative condensed interim financial statements

International Financial Reporting Standards March 2006

About this publication


These illustrative condensed interim financial statements have been produced by the KPMG International Financial Reporting Group (part of KPMG IFRG Limited), and the views expressed herein are those of the KPMG International Financial Reporting Group.

Content
The purpose of this publication is to assist you in preparing condensed interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. It illustrates one possible format for condensed interim financial statements, based on a fictitious multinational corporation involved in general business; the corporation is not a first-time adopter of IFRSs (see Technical guide). This publication focuses on compliance with IAS 34, but does not repeat all of that standards requirements. In addition, IFRSs other than IAS 34 are not discussed in this publication except in the context of disclosure in condensed interim financial statements. While this publication is up to date at the time of printing, IFRSs and their interpretation change over time. Accordingly, these illustrative condensed interim financial statements should not be used as a substitute for referring to the standards and interpretations themselves. When preparing interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, an entity should have regard to its local legal and regulatory requirements, which are not considered in this publication, but which may require additional disclosures to be made in interim financial statements. For example, IFRSs do not require the presentation of separate financial statements for the parent entity, and these illustrative condensed interim financial statements include only consolidated financial statements. However, in some jurisdictions parent entity financial information also may be required. IAS 34 deals only with the financial statement component of an interim financial report, and this publication illustrates only that component. However, typically an interim report will include at least some additional commentary by management, either in accordance with local laws and regulations or at the election of the entity.

References
The illustrative condensed interim financial statements are contained on the odd-numbered pages of this publication. The even-numbered pages contain explanatory comments and notes. As noted above, these explanatory comments are not intended to be an exhaustive commentary. To the left of each item disclosed, a reference to the relevant paragraph in IAS 34 or related standard is provided; generally the references relate only to disclosure requirements.

Technical guide
IFRSs do not require entities to publish interim financial reports; generally local laws and regulations determine such requirements. IAS 34 applies to entities that are either required to or elect to publish an interim financial report in accordance with IFRSs, and encourages such entities that are publicly traded to make their interim report available within 60 days of the reporting date.

The principles of preparing interim financial statements


IAS 34 defines the minimum content of interim financial statements, including disclosures, and identifies the recognition and measurement principles that should be applied in preparing interim financial statements. For the most part, the recognition and measurement principles are consistent with IFRSs used in the preparation of annual financial statements, though differences do exist, e.g., in the measurement of income tax expense. In addition, a greater use of estimation may be required than in the preparation of annual financial statements. IAS 34 permits the disclosure requirements for annual financial statements to be condensed on the assumption that users of the interim financial report have access to the most recent annual financial statements. Accordingly, a key requirement of IAS 34 is to disclose information material to an understanding of the current interim period. This is an area where significant judgement is required by management; some items, such as related party transactions, may be considered significant because of their nature rather than their size.

Form and content of interim financial statements


IAS 34 permits the presentation of either condensed or a complete set of interim financial statements. If an entity chooses to publish a complete set of financial statements, then their form and content must conform to the requirements of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements in addition to the measurement and any supplementary disclosure requirements of IAS 34. If an entity publishes a set of condensed interim financial statements, then these financial statements must contain at least each of the headings and subtotals that were included in its most recent annual financial statements, together with the selected note disclosures required by IAS 34. Additional line items or notes are required if their omission would make the condensed interim financial statements misleading. These illustrative condensed interim financial statements assume that the entity prepares a half-year interim report, but does not produce quarterly interim reports. If the entity illustrated in these condensed interim financial statements had also published interim financial statements as at and for the quarter ended 31 March 2006, then an additional income statement for the period from 1 April to 30 June 2006 (and comparatives for the period from 1 April to 30 June 2005) would have been presented in these illustrative condensed interim financial statements.

Measurement and recognition


IAS 34 sets out general recognition and measurement principles and provides examples of applying these principles. In preparing interim financial statements an entity applies the same accounting policies as in its most recent annual financial statements, with the exception of changes to accounting policies made after the most recent annual financial statements. Of course, if applicable IFRSs are amended between the preparation of interim financial statements and the following annual financial statements, changes to previous policies may be necessary. An interim period is not a stand-alone reporting period but rather is part of a larger financial year. The principles for recognising assets, liabilities, income and expenses in interim periods generally are the same as in the preparation of annual financial statements. As the preparation of interim financial statements often will require an entity to make greater use of estimates than for annual financial statements, IAS 34 includes examples to illustrate the use of estimates. An entity should have regard to both the measurement and recognition requirements of IAS 34, as well as the standards illustrative examples, when preparing its interim financial statements.

Disclosure in condensed interim financial statements


As a minimum, information that is material and is not disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report should be disclosed in the condensed interim financial statements. Normally the disclosures should be reported on a financial year-to-date basis. With the exception of certain disclosures required by IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the disclosure requirements of other IFRSs are not required in condensed interim financial statements. However, the annual disclosure requirements provide helpful guidance in considering appropriate disclosures in respect of events and transactions that are material to an understanding of the current interim period, and IAS 34 acknowledges the role of individual standards and interpretations in determining the extent of disclosure. In these illustrative condensed interim financial statements a number of additional disclosures are provided on the basis that the information might be material to an understanding of the current interim period.

First-time adopters of IFRSs


These illustrative condensed interim financial statements assume that the entity is not a first-time adopter of IFRSs, and therefore that the interim financial statements are an update from the most recent previous annual IFRS financial statements. Since a first-time adopter of IFRSs does not have any previous annual IFRS financial statements, any interim financial statements cannot be seen as simply an update. In our view, an entity may publish condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 even if it has not published IFRS annual financial statements for the prior period; however, the minimum disclosures prescribed by IAS 34 would be insufficient to provide an understanding of the interim period and therefore further disclosure is required. In our view, a first-time adopter of IFRSs should include a complete set of significant accounting policies in its condensed interim financial statements. Significant judgement then is required in determining other areas that may require additional disclosure; these may include, but are not limited to:

significant judgements made in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty segment reporting non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations income tax expense earnings per share employee benefits financial instruments.

Our illustrative interim financial statements published in April 2005 illustrate a set of condensed interim financial statements for a first-time adopter of IFRSs. While IFRSs have changed from a year ago, the publication may be useful in assessing the extent of additional disclosures for a first-time adopter of IFRSs.

Insights into IFRS


Our publication Insights into IFRS provides interpretations of the KPMG International Financial Reporting Group in applying IFRSs. That publication includes a chapter on interim financial reporting. The views expressed in that publication are not repeated in their entirety in this publication; rather, the two publications should be used together.

IAS 34.19, 20

The statements must include comparative information; otherwise interim financial statements cannot claim to be in compliance with IFRSs, and IAS 34 in particular for condensed interim financial statements. This is particularly important for entities that did not produce interim financial statements in the year of IFRS adoption, but do produce such statements in the following year.

2.

Condensed interim financial statements must include the headings and subtotals that were included in the most recent annual financial statements. Additional line items are included if their omission would make the financial statements misleading. IAS 34 is unclear as to what constitutes headings and subtotals . In these illustrative condensed interim financial statements we have included all line items that were included in the most recent annual financial statements.

3.

IAS 34.33, 37 , 38

Revenues are recognised in interim financial statements when earned. Revenues that are received seasonally, cyclically or occasionally within a financial year are not anticipated or deferred at the interim reporting date unless this treatment would be appropriate at an annual reporting date. This issue is discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS. Expenses are recognised in interim financial statements when an obligation has been incurred. Costs incurred unevenly within a financial year are not anticipated or deferred at the interim reporting date unless this treatment would be appropriate at an annual reporting date. This issue is discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS. The general principle established in IAS 34 is that the interim income tax expense is based on the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full year, applied to the pre-tax interim income. However, a number of issues remain unclear in IAS 34, including the treatment of permanent differences and the use of a consolidated effective tax rate. These issues are discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS. The presentation of discontinued operations in these illustrative condensed interim financial statements differs from the presentation in our most recent illustrative annual financial statements. This change has been made to illustrate a different approach that is equally acceptable, and is not intended as a deviation from the general principle that the presentation in interim financial statements should match that in the most recent annual financial statements (see footnote 2 above). Although not required explicitly by IAS 34, earnings per share for continuing operations may be material to an understanding of the current interim period, in which case it would be disclosed.

IAS 34.13

Interim financial statements should include either an interim statement of recognised income and expense or an interim statement of changes in equity, consistent with the choice of statement presented in the most recent annual financial statements. See footnote 4 on page 12 for a discussion on the choice of statement presented when an entity changes its accounting policy to recognise actuarial gains and losses immediately in equity. See footnote 2 on page 2 for a discussion on the headings and subtotals to be presented.

IAS 34.41, C7

See footnote 2 on page 2 for a discussion on the headings and subtotals to be presented. The carrying amount of assets that are measured based on fair value should be determined at the interim reporting date, including property, plant and equipment accounted for in accordance with the revaluation model. The fair value assessment at the interim reporting date may involve a higher degree of estimation than is used for the annual financial statements. When there are significant changes to market conditions during the interim period, we would expect the valuation to be updated at the interim reporting date; otherwise, in our view extrapolations based upon the previous annual reporting date may be appropriate for interim financial statements. These issues are discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS. Reviews for indicators of impairment and any resulting impairment tests are performed at the interim reporting date in the same manner as at an annual reporting date.

IAS 34.B35, B36

3.

Inventory write-downs and interim period manufacturing variances at the interim reporting date B23, B25-28 are recognised using the same procedures as at an annual reporting date. Therefore they are recognised even if they are expected to be restored or absorbed by the end of the financial year. Discretionary purchase rebates and discounts are not anticipated. Contractual rebates are recognised based upon the best estimate of the amount that will be received. These issues are discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS.
IAS 34.30(a), IAS 34.B9, C4

4.

For defined benefit plans the interim balance sheet position generally is determined by adjusting the opening balance sheet for the current service cost, interest cost, expected return on assets, amortisation of actuarial gains and losses (if any), and contributions to the plan. Generally it does not involve obtaining an updated actuarial valuation. When there are significant changes to the plan or market conditions during the interim period, we would expect the actuarial valuation to be updated at the interim reporting date. In our view, when it is necessary to update the actuarial valuation at the interim reporting date and internal expertise is not available to do so, an actuary should perform the updated valuation. These issues are discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS.

IAS 34.14

The interim financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis if the most recent annual financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis. If the most recent annual report included separate financial statements of the parent, an entity is neither required to include nor prohibited from including separate financial statements of the parent in its interim financial report. In order to state compliance with IAS 34, condensed interim financial statements must comply with all of the requirements of the standard. Interim financial statements should reflect the same accounting policies as in the most recent annual financial statements, except for changes in accounting policy that will be reflected in the next annual financial statements. Therefore new standards and interpretations are applied in the first interim period within the annual period to which they apply. These illustrative condensed interim financial statements illustrate one possible change in accounting policy. The following standards and interpretations, which are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after a specified date in late 2005 or 2006 (see below in brackets), also may be relevant for interim reporting dates in 2006:

These condensed interim financial statements do not illustrate the correction of an error, which is an example of the kinds of disclosures required by IAS 34. If an entity chooses to recognise all actuarial gains and losses immediately in equity, then the entity must present a statement of recognised income and expense as a primary statement; it cannot present recognised income and expense as an element of a statement of changes in equity. IAS 34 requires disclosure of the nature and effect of any change in accounting policy. In these condensed interim financial statements we have illustrated all of the disclosures that would be required by IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors in a complete set of IFRS financial statements.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements


Reporting entity1 [Name] (the Company) is a company domiciled in [country]. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2006 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and the Groups interests in associates and jointly controlled entities. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005 are available upon request from the Companys registered office at [address] or at [Web site address]. 2. Statement of compliance2 These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on [date]. 3. Significant accounting policies3 Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005. The Group adopted an amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures as at 1 January 2006. The Group now recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans immediately in equity. Previously the Group applied the corridor method to recognise actuarial gains and losses over the expected average remaining working lives of employees in the plan, and recognised such gains and losses in profit or loss.4

Note Reference Explanatory note 1. See footnote 4 on page 6 for a discussion on obtaining an actuarial valuation at an interim reporting date.
IAS 34.35, 36

2.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the interim period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Prior interim periods are not restated. If an estimate of an amount reported in an interim period is changed significantly during the final interim period, but a separate financial report is not published for that interim period, then the nature and amount of that change in estimate is disclosed in a note to the annual financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committees (IFRIC) Exposure Draft D18 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment proposes that an entity should not reverse an impairment loss recognised in a previous interim period in respect of goodwill, an investment in an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost (not amortised cost). The IFRIC has invited comments on this draft interpretation by 31 March 2006, and a final interpretation is expected later in 2006.

IAS 34.26

IAS 34.16(d)

An entity should disclose the nature and amount of material changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior interim periods or in prior financial years. Although not required explicitly by IAS 34, any changes in an entitys financial risk management objectives and policies may be material to an understanding of the current interim period, in which case such changes would be disclosed.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements


Significant accounting policies (continued) The change in accounting policy did not result in the recognition of any actuarial gains and losses during the six months ended 30 June 2006 because the Group did not update its actuarial valuation during this period; there were no changes to the plan, and no significant changes in market conditions, during this period.1 Estimates2 The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Except as described below, in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005.3

4.
IAS 34.41

IAS 34.16(d)

During the six months ended 30 June 2006 management reassessed its estimates in respect of:

previously unrecognised deferred tax assets related to the carryforward of unused tax losses (see note 13) the recoverable amount of certain property, plant and equipment (see note 14) the recoverable amount of goodwill (see note 15).

5.

Financial risk management4 During the six months ended 30 June 2006 the Group changed its policy in respect of the hedging of foreign currency denominated items. The Group now hedges at least 90 percent (2005: 80 percent) of all trade receivables and trade payables denominated in a foreign currency, and at any point in time the Group hedges 90 percent (2005: 80 percent) of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of forecasted sales and purchases over the following six months. Other aspects of the Groups financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005.

7.
IAS 34.16(b)

Seasonality of operations The Groups Forestry segment is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. In particular, the cultivation of pine trees and the provision of related services in key geographical areas are impacted negatively by winter weather conditions, which occur primarily from January to March. The Group attempts to minimise the seasonal impact through the management of inventories to meet demand during this period; however, the first half-year typically results in lower revenues and results for this segment. For the 12 months ended 30 June 2006 the Forestry segment had segment revenue of 11,601 thousand (12 months ended 30 June 2005: 10,588 thousand) and a segment result of 2,311 thousand (12 months ended 30 June 2005: 2,169 thousand).2

Discontinued operation1, 2 In May 2006 the Group sold its entire Packaging segment (see note 6); the segment was not a discontinued operation or classified as held for sale as at 31 December 2005 and the comparative income statement and statement of cash flows have been restated to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations. The effect of the disposal was a decrease in the net assets of the Group of 10,154 thousand, excluding cash consideration received of 11,000 thousand. The net cash inflow on disposal after deducting cash disposed of was 10,890 thousand. Profits attributable to the discontinued operation for the six months ended 30 June were as follows:

Assets held for sale3 Part of a manufacturing facility within the Paper segment is presented as a disposal group held for sale following the commitment of the Groups management, on 15 June 2006, to a plan to sell facilities due to a regional economic downturn. Efforts to sell the disposal group have commenced, and a sale is expected by January 2007 .

13. Income tax expense1 The Groups consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2006 was 23 percent (for the year ended 31 December 2005: 33 percent; for the six months ended 30 June 2005: 29 percent). This change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by two factors:

A decrease in the income tax rate in [country] was enacted in April 2006, effective from 1 January 2007 . Previously unrecognised tax losses were recognised in the current period as management now considers it probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Management revised its estimates following the pilot of a new type of paper in [country], which is proving popular with customers and is increasing the subsidiarys results from operating activities.

14. Property, plant and equipment2 Acquisitions and disposals During the six months ended 30 June 2006 the Group acquired assets with a cost of 12,156 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2005: 2,315 thousand), including assets acquired through business combinations (see note 10) of 1,930 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2005: nil). Assets with a carrying amount of 3,877 thousand were disposed of as part of the discontinued operation (see note 8). Other assets with a carrying amount of 4,109 thousand were disposed of during the six months ended 30 June 2006 (six months ended 30 June 2005: 381 thousand), resulting in a gain on disposal of 108 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2005: gain of 25 thousand), which is included in other income .

IAS 34.17(b)

Reversal of impairment loss In 2005 export restrictions were enacted for a particular product of the Paper segment that caused the Group to assess the recoverable amount of a number of specialised machines dedicated to that product. Based on this assessment, the carrying amount of those machines was written down by 512 thousand. During the six months ended 30 June 2006, following modifications to those restrictions, the Group reassessed its estimates and 393 thousand of the impairment loss was reversed (included in cost of sales). The estimate of recoverable amount was based on the value in use of the machines, calculated using a pre-tax discount rate of seven percent (2005: eight percent). Capital commitments During the six months ended 30 June 2006 the Group entered into a contract to purchase property, plant and equipment for 1,465 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2005: nil); delivery is expected in March 2008.

15. Goodwill1 The Group performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill during the six months ended 30 June 2006. As a result of this testing, the carrying amount of the European forestry cashgenerating unit, which comprises operations of the Forestry segment (see note 6), was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and an impairment loss of 116 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2005: 131 thousand) was recognised. The impairment loss was allocated fully to goodwill, and is included in cost of sales . The impairment resulted from an increase in the expected future environmental costs due to regulatory developments in several European countries where the Group cultivates and sells wood. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units as follows as at 30 June 2006 (31 December 2005):

2,320 1,329 3,649 157 3,806

The European paper manufacturing and distribution units impairment test was based on fair value less costs to sell. In the past year competing businesses in the same sector and of generally similar size have been bought and sold by companies in the industry as part of the ongoing consolidation in the industry. The sales prices for these units were used to derive a price / earnings ratio, which was applied to the earnings of the unit to determine recoverable amount. This recoverable amount significantly exceeds the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill; management considers that it is not reasonably possible for the assumed price / earnings ratio to change by such a significant amount so as to eliminate this excess. The recoverable amount of the European forestry cash-generating unit was based on value in use calculations. Those calculations use cash flow projections based on actual operating results and the five-year business plan. Cash flows for a further 20-year period were extrapolated using a two percent growth rate, which was consistent with the long-term average growth rate for the industry. A pre-tax discount rate of eight percent was used in discounting the projected cash flows. The key assumptions and the approach to determining their value were: Assumption Timber price growth Environmental cost growth How determined Statistical analysis of long-term market price trends adjusted annually for actual experience. Prediction of change in government regulation. New regulations are being discussed and have been reflected in increased costs from 2007 .

The timber price growth was assumed to be one percent per annum above inflation in the first five years. Environmental cost growth was considered to be 25 percent in 2007 and in line with inflation thereafter. This represents an increase over the 20 percent estimate used in the impairment testing in 2005, and reflects various regulatory developments in a number of European countries where the unit operates.

The Groups exit was completed in May 2006. 20. Contingencies In January 2005 an environmental agency brought an action against a wholly-owned subsidiary.

IAS 34.17(j)

Related party transactions are an example of the kinds of disclosures required by IAS 34. Given the increasing importance of corporate governance issues, in our view it is preferable that related party transactions be disclosed in condensed interim financial statements in all circumstances, except when clearly immaterial. Even if related party transactions are not material by virtue of their size, we encourage highlighting their existence, together with a reference to the relevant disclosure in the most recent annual financial statements. If related party transactions also are material in terms of size, then more extensive disclosure may be required. This issue is discussed in our publication Insights into IFRS.

Independent report on review of condensed consolidated interim financial information1


[Appropriate Addressee] [Name of entity]

Introduction We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of [name of entity] as at 30 June 2006 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, recognised income and expense and cash flows for the six-month period then ended (interim financial information). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
