[ FRS 102 3.10 An entity shall present a complete set of financial statements (including comparative information as set out in paragraph 3.14) at least annually. When the end of an entity’s reporting period changes and the annual financial statements are presented for a period longer or shorter than one year, the entity shall disclose the following: (a) that fact; (b) the reason for using a longer or shorter period; and (c) the fact that comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable. ]
These financial statements for the period ended 31 August 2025 are the first financial statements of GIANT B LTD 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 . The reported financial position and financial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms of the company's major sources of revenue are as follows:
Basic financial assets, which include debtors 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 financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified 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 financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
In the comparative period, the company classified leases as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases were classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases were 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 was included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments were treated as consisting of capital and interest elements and the interest was charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Rentals payable under operating leases, less any lease incentives received, were charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis was more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset were consumed.
In the current period, the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 was applied by the company for the first time and affects the financial statements as follows.
The company has applied the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 amendments to Section 20 Leases as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Comparative information is not restated.
The company’s revised accounting policies for leases are set out in note 1 and the adjustment for each financial statement line item affected by the application of the Periodic Review 2024 in the current period is set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients permitted when applying the Periodic Review 2024:
For contracts that have previously been assessed for the existence of a lease, the company has not reassessed whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.
Leases previously classified as operating leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application have been treated as short-term leases.
A single discount rate has been applied to portfolios of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
Information received and choices made after the date of initial application have been applied to the assessment of leases previously classified as operating leases, such as in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
Where leases have previously been assessed as onerous operating leases, the right-of-use asset recognised at the date of initial application has been adjusted by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognised, instead of carrying out a separate impairment assessment.
The company has applied the FRS 102 Periodic Review 2024 amendments to Section 23 Revenue as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Comparative information is not restated.
The company’s revised accounting policies for revenue are set out in note 1 and the adjustment for each financial statement line item affected by the application of the Periodic Review 2024 is set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients permitted when applying the Periodic Review 2024:
For completed contracts that have variable consideration, the transaction price used is that applying at the date the contract was completed.
Contracts that were modified before the date of initial application have not been retrospectively restated for the contract modifications. Instead, the aggregate effect of the modifications has been applied when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
[FULL RETROSPECTIVE METHOD ONLY] Completed contracts have not been restated if they begin and end within the same annual reporting period or had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
[FULL RETROSPECTIVE METHOD ONLY] For prior periods presented, the company has not provided a quantitative or qualitative explanation of the significance of unsatisfied performance obligations and when they are expected to be satisfied.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is 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.
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the period was:
