Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The director presents his strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is an operator of a group of McDonald's restaurants.

Fair review of the business

The results for the year and the financial position at the end of the year are shown in the annexed financial statements.
As a franchisee operator of a group of McDonald's restaurants the directors consider the company's key performance indicators to be turnover and gross profit. Turnover for the year remained similar to the previous year, with a small increase in gross profit of just under 1% compared to the previous year. However, in common with many other similar businesses and industries, fuel and utility costs have continued to increase along with other overheads, resulting in a loss before taxation of £306,764, compared to a profit of £301,033 in the previous year.
The directors believe that the trading environment in which the company operates will continue to be challenging but remain optimistic regarding future trading and are committed to increasing both future turnover and profitability and to continuing the company’s reinvestment program. The company has continued to invest in the business and in the development and training of its employees, as well as continued investment in IT and store equipment.

TTSF Ltd

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Principal risks and uncertainties

The company operates in a highly competitive market with high levels of price sensitivity. Consumer behaviour can impact the company's turnover and profitability. The company continually assesses these risks and mitigates them by adopting a policy of constantly reviewing its pricing strategy with ongoing market research.
The company remains exposed to periods of food cost inflation together with the variability of commodity prices, both of which impact on profitability. The company continually assesses any risks identified, with the aim of mitigating the threats these may have on the company's operations and profitability. The company's supply chain is closely overseen and supported by McDonald's, who endeavour to negotiate effectively on behalf of all franchisees to ensure better purchasing terms. This helps as much as possible to protect the company from risks associated with fluctuating food costs.
The company is also inherently exposed to pressures within the labour market and to wage cost inflation. The company mitigates this risk by a policy of adopting remuneration and benefits packages designed to be competitive within the market as well as ensuring full compliance with labour market regulations, with employment policies to allow fulfilling career opportunities for all employees.
The company’s operations demand a high level of compliance within a wide range of regulatory requirements, in particular –
- health and safety
- hygiene procedures
- employment laws
- licensing
The above, in common with various other areas, are monitored in detail by McDonald’s with assistance being given to all franchisees to help meet the various requirements.
By its very nature, the fast-food market is extremely competitive, with large numbers of companies operating in the sector. In order to remain at the forefront of the industry, McDonald’s have developed dedicated teams whose focus is on ensuring they remain the leading brand in the market.

Section 172(1) statement

The success of the Company is the driving factor behind all decisions made by the Director. Decision making processes are structured to enable the Director to evaluate the merit of proposed business activities and the likely consequences of decisions taken over the short, medium and long term. The director remains mindful that any strategic decisions taken can have long term implications for the business and its stakeholders, and these implications are carefully assessed. An example of this is in decisions taken relating to capital investment in terms of possible new store acquisitions and equipment upgrades.

Our people are fundamental to our success. We continually endeavour to create opportunities for all our people, regardless of gender, age, or life stage that enhance their work experience. Understanding how our employees feel about McDonald’s is vital. The director takes active steps to ensure that the suggestions, views and interests of the workforce are incorporated and considered as part of any decision-making process, helping to ensure that our employees are given the right support to help achieve their potential. We have developed various employee communication channels such as the “Big Conversation”, “MyStuff” and “Love to Listen”, together with regular performance reviews, employee assistance programs and providing a means for employees to share ideas and feedback. We also conduct regular surveys into our employee’s job satisfaction and how they feel about their role in the company. We encourage and provide access to online learning and development, as well as providing our people with a mobile friendly platform to manage their own data, holidays, time off and access to view their wage slips.

TTSF Ltd

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Our customers are the reason for our existence, and we therefore strive to provide high quality food with superior service in a clean and welcoming environment, all at an exceptional value. McDonald’s have set high standards globally and it is our obligation and desire to maintain these high standards with regular customer feedback through operating and monitoring an external customer satisfaction programme “Food for Thought” that collects customer comments.
Long term commitments with our suppliers has enabled them to grow with us and drive positive change within their own businesses. The company recognises that the strength of our relationships with our suppliers are important to our long-term success. The directors are regularly briefed on supplier feedback and issues.

The directors carefully consider the impact of the business on communities and the environments in which the company operates. We ensure that the locality surrounding our restaurants is litter free through initiatives implemented to collect litter. Recycling units are installed around our restaurants and our paper cups are sent to specialist recycling centres in the UK. We endeavour to help our customers build communities, support charitable organisations, and use our size, scope and resources to help make local communities and the environment a better place.

In all our activities the director requires that employees and suppliers conduct business with the highest ethical and professional standards by adhering to our Standards of Business Conduct set by McDonald’s Corporation.

The majority shareholder is also the director of the company and exercises day to day control over the company.

The directors believe that they have always acted in ways they consider, in good faith, to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1) (a-f) of the Companies Act).
The success of the company is the driving factor behind the decisions made by the directors. Decision making processes are structured to enable the directors to evaluate the merit of proposed business activities and the likely consequences of its decisions over the short, medium and long term.

Engagement with employees

Our workforce is our most valuable asset and is one of the main reasons for the success of the company and brand. The company invests strongly in training, coaching, and skills acquisition. The personal development and improvement of our employees is a key aim of the Company’s strategy. We strive to be a responsible employer in our approach to the pay and benefits of employees and the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is one of the primary considerations in the way we do business.

Engagement with suppliers, customers and other relationships

As a company we endeavour to build long-term commitments with our suppliers which has enabled them to grow with us and drive positive change within their own businesses. The company recognises that relationships with suppliers are important to its long-term success and is briefed on supplier feedback and issues on a regular basis.
We also endeavour to forge positive relationships with our customers by providing high quality food and an excellent service in a clean and welcoming environment at a competitive price.

The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £247,954 (2023 - profit £179,362).
During the year, dividends paid amounted to £200,000 (2023: £320,000). The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.

Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The company’s principle financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors and bank loans. The main purpose of these instruments is to finance the company’s operations and to ensure the smooth running of the company’s operations.
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk.
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance to ensure the continuity of trading, through the use of detailed cash flow analysis, forecasts and projections which are regularly updated. In addition, the company has access to overdraft facilities from its bankers which are repayable on demand, should the business require them.
In respect of bank loans, these are provided by financial institutions. The interest rate on these loans is variable, although usually the monthly repayments are fixed. The company manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet the payments through the constant review and updating of cashflow forecasts. The interest rate is managed through regular reviews of current and expected future interest rates.
Trade creditor liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk

The main risks arising from the company’s financial instruments are interest risk and liquidity risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below –
Interest rate risk – the company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is limited to bank loans. Additional requirements for medium to long term debt are reviewed by the directors based on the company’s forecast requirements.
Liquidity risk – the company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility, by the utilisation of cash and bank loans.

Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting

Governance

In line with the government streamline energy and carbon reporting (SECR) requirements we are required to report our organisations carbon emissions for the period 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024 against the previous year.

Summary
TTSF Ltd's greenhouse gas emissions, reportable under SECR from 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024, were 1,107 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). These include emissions associated with electricity, natural gas, transport consumption and refrigerant leaks. The number of sites contributing to this report has decreased from 9 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. The company's total greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 3.5% compared to 2023’s figures, because purchased electricity energy consumption (kWh) has decreased by -10.0% and natural gas energy consumption (kWh) has increased by 4.6%, from 2023 to 2024.
Notable factors that could have contributed to the movement in emissions are as follows:
•
A change in the methodology for missing data estimation will have affected the emissions associated with electricity, natural gas and purchased fuel. In FY23, extrapolation was conducted by Aligned Incentives, whereas in FY24, extrapolation was conducted by Mitie.
•
The number of sites reporting on their emissions changed from 2023 to 2024.
•
A change in the market-based methodology led to an increase in electricity emissions under the market-based methodology (Tables 3 and 4). In FY23, all electricity consumption was considered renewable, whereas in FY24, only meters where electricity is supplied by Npower are considered renewable. This has been confirmed by the Mitie Energy Team, who procure electricity for McDonald’s sites supplied by Npower in the UK. It is not known whether the other meters/sites use renewable electricity.
•
Improved refrigerant leak data capture from suppliers compared to the prior year, which has been confirmed by McDonald's Restaurants Ltd, has led to an increase in emissions associated with refrigerants.
As per SECR guidelines, The company's emission intensity is calculated as the ratio of annual emissions (tCO2e) to the turnover (in £’000). For FY 2024, this resulted in an emission intensity of 0.026 tCO2e per £’000, which represents a 5.1% decrease compared to the previous year (0.027 tCO2e per £’000).

TTSF Ltd

Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Strategy

Boundary, Methodology and Exclusions
An ‘operational control’ approach has been used to define the Greenhouse Gas emissions boundary[1].
This approach captures emissions associated with the operation of all buildings, such as warehouses, offices and manufacturing sites, plus company-owned and leased transport. This report covers UK operations only, as required by SECR for Non-Quoted Large Companies.
This information was collected and reported in line with the methodology set out in the UK Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines, 2019.
Emissions have been calculated using the latest conversion factors provided by the UK Government. For Refrigerant emissions, GWP conversion factors have been used (High-GWP Refrigerants | California Air Resources Board, Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidance: Fugitive Emissions (epa.gov). There are no material omissions from the mandatory reporting scope.
Regarding market-based reporting, all electricity supplied by NPower is confirmed to be covered by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). All RoadChef MSA sites and ASDA sites (up until 31 March 2024) are also covered by REGOs (confirmed by the supplier). Due to a lack of information, the remaining electricity supply is assumed to be non-renewable.
Energy consumption (kWh) for the period 1st January 2024 – 31st December 2024 has been used to calculate emissions for Tim Dobbs’s FY 2024 SECR report.
[1] An operational control approach to GHG emissions boundary is defined as: “Your organisation has operational control over an operation if it, or one of its subsidiaries, has the full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies at the operation”.

Director's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Metrics and targets

Energy Efficiency Initiatives
Tim Dobbs has continued to seek and implement energy efficiency measures within both the work processes and the use of work equipment. McDonald’s Restaurants Limited is actively participating in mandatory compliance schemes, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, TCFD, and is considering implementing the recommendations outlined in the ESOS audit reports.
The following are examples of energy efficiency initiatives that are being implemented at McDonald's Restaurants Limited and its franchisees’ restaurants after recommendations from site energy audits conducted by the Mitie Energy Optimisation Team:
- Reductions to the time schedule for internal lighting, external lighting (signage, car parking lighting, etc.), Air Handling Unit (AHU) conditioning, kitchen extract system, etc.
- Improvements to the Car Park lighting schedule.
- Decreased temperature set points in dining and kitchen areas, e.g. overdoor heater setpoint reduced from 28 degrees Celsius to 22 degrees Celsius.
- Increased temperature deadbands in dining and kitchen areas, especially to AHUs.
- Local control settings change from ‘Always On’ to ‘Normal.
- Heating set point temperature reduction.
- BMS time adjusted to sync with actual time.

We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

TTSF Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of TTSF Ltd

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• | the information given in the Strategic Report and Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• | the Strategic Report and Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Director's Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
• | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
• | certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of the director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities [set out on page 11], the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

TTSF Ltd

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of TTSF Ltd

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006/FRS 102, Employment Law and Waste, Health and Safety. We enquired of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures to obtain an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and whether they had any knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. We corroborated the results of our enquiries through our discussions with the directors and management. We did not identify any matters relating to non-compliance with laws and regulations or matters in relation to fraud.
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatements, we obtained an understanding of the company’s operations, including its objectives and strategies to understand the expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement;
In assessing the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team the engagement partner considered the engagement team’s :
 Understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation,
 The specialist skills required and
 Knowledge of the industry in which the client operates.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
 Assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
 Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
 Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual journal entries made at year end for financial statement preparation; and
 Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement item.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. 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.

TTSF Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1 | General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England.

The address of its registered office is:
69 Toton Lane
Stapleford
Nottinghamshire
NG9 7HB

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the director on 17 November 2025.

2 | Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

TTSF Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Judgements

In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the directors have made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Income taxes
The company is subject to the corporation tax laws of the United Kingdom. These laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by taxpayers and tax authorities. When establishing corporation tax provisions, the directors make a number of judgments and interpretations about the application and interaction of these laws. Changes in these tax laws or in their interpretation could affect the company's effective tax rate and the results of operations in a given period.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

TTSF Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class | Depreciation method and rate
Plant & equipment | between 3 and 12 years straight line
Motor vehicles | 5 years straight line

Goodwill

Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.

Intangible assets

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date.
Licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Asset class | Amortisation method and rate
Licence fees | straight line over the remaining life of the licence
Stamp duty | straight line over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease and 20 years
Goodwill | straight line over the remaining life of the licence

Investments

Investments in unlisted company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Receivables

Receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

TTSF Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Inventories

Stocks are stated at the lower of average cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred prior to completion and disposal.

Payables

Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
