Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional currency is Euro. This differs from the presentational currency which is GBP. The reason for the difference is that company holds an investment property in Ireland. The entire income of the company is derived from this property and rent is charged in Euro.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
Rental income from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The revenue recognition commences when the tenant take possession or controls the physical use of the lease space.
