ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Chairman’s Statement

David Hudd 
Chairman

I am delighted to report that 

Falkland Islands Holdings 

performed very well in the 

year ended 31 March 2012 

with our three businesses 

achieving good results as the 

Group’s spread of interests 

proved resilient in difficult 

economic conditions.

We  achieved  strong  growth  with  underlying  diluted 
earnings per share up 27% to a record 26.2p per share. 
This represents a compound annual growth rate of 9.2% 
over the last 10 years. 

Underlying  pre-tax  profits  increased  for  the  eighth 
successive year by 18.3% to a new high of £3.23 million 
(2011: £2.73 million). 

The  financial  position  remains  strong  with  minimal  net 
debt; at the year-end bank borrowings were £3.0 million 
while bank deposits totalled £2.8 million.

We are pleased to recommend an increased final dividend 
of 7p per share which makes a total dividend of 11p per 
share,  a  15.8%  increase  on  the  Group’s  2011  dividend  
of 9.5p.

Operations
Momart  was  the  largest  contributor  to  the  Group’s 
increase in underlying profits before interest with an 80% 
improvement.  The  international  art  market  continued  to 
strengthen  and  the  benefit  of  improvements  made  to 
the  operating  procedures  and  cost  structures  at  the 
business  flowed  through.  At  the  Portsmouth  Harbour 
Ferry  Company  (PHFC),  we  were  delighted  with  the 
opening  of  the  new  pontoon  terminal  and  its  positive 
impact  on  the  overall  quality  of  service,  giving  another 
robust  performance  with  profits  increasing,  despite  the 
impact of the new pontoon on costs and fares.

Excluding  property  sales,  The  Falkland  Islands  Company 
maintained  its  profit  level.  This  was  achieved  despite 
significant inflation and increased staff costs as additional 
management was recruited.

On behalf of the Board and shareholders I would like to 
express thanks to all our colleagues who have contributed 
to an excellent year for the Group.

potential opportunities ahead and has begun in-depth 
preparatory  work  on  the  investment  opportunities 
available to us. We are strengthening our management in 
the Falklands and we will commit the capital required to 
bring these projects to completion. 

At  PHFC  we  are  exposed  to  the  fragility  of  customers’ 
discretionary  travel  spend.  Nevertheless,  as  an  essential 
service  PHFC  will  continue  to  generate  good  cash  flow 
and profits. To continue to improve the service we intend 
to  order  a  new  ferry  later  this  year  to  be  operational  in 
early 2014.

For  Momart  we  anticipate  another  good  year  as  the 
international art market remains buoyant and we continue 
to experience strong demand for our services.

The Group’s businesses remain robust with market leading 
positions  that  will  continue  to  generate  good  cash  flow 
and  profits.  For  the  current  year,  trading  has  been 
satisfactory and in line with the Board’s expectations.

David Hudd 

Chairman

6 June 2012

Falkland Oil and Gas (“FOGL”)
We  were  pleased  to  support  FOGL’s  fund  raising  in 
January  2012  by  subscribing  for  a  further  2  million 
ordinary  shares  at  43p  each.  The  lock-in  agreement 
preventing  share  sales  which  we  entered  into  in  April 
2011  has  now  expired.  We  currently  own  14  million 
shares with a book cost of £2.8 million; at 31 March 2012 
these shares had a market value of £9.0 million which had 
increased to £12.8 million at 1 June 2012.

FOGL’s two well drilling campaign with the Leiv Eiriksson 
rig  is  now  expected  to  commence  in  July  2012  and  to 
continue for approximately three months. The first well to 
be  drilled,  Loligo,  has  the  potential  to  be  one  of  the 
highest impact exploration wells being drilled in the world 
this year, with mean recoverable prospective resources of 
4.7 billion barrels. A positive drilling result would have a 
dramatic impact on the FOGL share price and that of your 
Company. 

However,  whatever  the  outcome  of  FOGL’s  exploration 
activities,  your  Board  remains  focused  on  increasing  the 
long term profitability of the Group.

Outlook
In the Falkland Islands the Sea Lion discovery in the north 
Falkland basin has confirmed the existence of commercially 
exploitable  hydrocarbons.  To  the  south,  the  Darwin  well 
recently  drilled  by  Borders  &  Southern  Petroleum  has 
proved  the  existence  of  a  working  hydrocarbon  system 
and supports the prospectivity of the south Falkland basin. 
Both outcomes make further exploration work certain.

Having  traded  in  the  Falkland  Islands  for  160  years  we 
have  a  unique  portfolio  of  assets  and  businesses  whose 
prospects  will  be  transformed  if  hydrocarbons  are 
exploited. Your Board is taking a strategic approach to the

Managing Director’s Business Review

John Foster  
Managing Director

Group Overview
I  am  pleased  to  report  another  successful  year  for  the 
Group, with a 7.1% increase in revenues to £34.1 million 
and  an  18.3%  increase  in  underlying  pre  tax  profits  to 
£3.23 million (2011: £2.73 million). 

Group  underlying  operating  profits  (before  amortisation 
and  financing  costs)  rose  by  21.8%  to  £3.57  million 
(2011: £2.93 million).

Each of the Group’s businesses is reviewed in detail below:

Falkland Islands Company (“FIC”)
FIC had a satisfactory year with a small decline in profits 
from  £1.61  million  to  £1.52  million  on  revenues  0.4% 
higher  at  £14.98  million.  The  prior  year  result  included 
profits  on  property  sales  of  £0.2  million  whereas  there 
were  negligible  such  profits  in  2012.  Underlying  profits 
generated  from  core  trading  activities  were  maintained 
despite increased costs from the recruitment of additional 
management personnel.

Oil  exploration  activity  continued  during  2011/12  and 
total  revenue  remained  at  the  record  levels  seen  in  the 
prior  year  (some  20%  higher  than  2009 /10  revenues). 
However, tourist activity declined as cruise ship visits were 
10%  lower  than  last  year  largely  as  a  result  of  poor 
weather.  Non  oil  activity  was  subdued  compared  to  the 
strong growth experienced in the prior year as household 
budgets  were  constrained  by  pay  settlements  below 
inflation, which in the Falkland Islands reached 8%; as a 
consequence overall retail spending fell.

Despite  the  success  of  the  enlarged  and  modernised 
supermarket at the MPA military base which opened in 
November  and  added  £0.15  million  to  sales,  market 
conditions remained tough and overall Retail sales fell by 
2.8% to £9.45 million. Although a range of new offers 
were sourced from the UK, core grocery sales from the 
West Store food hall fell by 2.6% and DIY revenues were 
down  5.8%.  Revenue  from  the  Capstan  gift  shop  was 
10.3% lower in line with the reduction in the number of 
cruise ship visitors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Managing Director’s Business Review

CONTINUED

In the absence of any large military orders Motor revenues 
declined by 18% to £1.57 million with total vehicle sales 
of 47 units compared to 78 last year. 

ferry operating profits, before pontoon lease finance costs 
of  £0.2  million,  rose  by  £0.3  million  to  £1.09  million 
(2011: £0.79 million).

Revenues  from  third  party  freight  were  up  62%  to 
£1.12  million  largely  due  to  an  increase  in  northbound 
traffic to the UK resulting from the demobilisation of the 
Ocean Guardian drilling rig in December 2011.

Following  the  confirmation  of  Rockhopper’s  Sea  Lion 
discovery, sales of residential property were halted. After 
one house sale early in the year FIC now retains nine of its 
twelve  Marmont  Row  properties  and  these  are  let  to 
oilfield  services  companies.  In  addition  FIC  has  a  rental 
portfolio of a further 31 properties and these are currently 
let to corporate clients, private customers and staff. 

Support  services  achieved  a  21%  increase  in  revenues 
largely as a result of a much improved Illex fishing season 
in  the  early  part  of  the  year.  The  other  business  units, 
insurance  broking,  stevedoring  and  Penguin  Travel, 
produced results similar to last year.

Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company (“PHFC”       )
PHFC delivered another robust performance with revenues 
rising by 11.5% reflecting the increase in fares and mild 
winter  weather,  which  more  than  offset  the  substantial 
increase  in  operating  costs  following  the  June  2011 
installation  of  the  new  pontoon  at  Gosport.  As  a  result

in  the  second  half  (£3.6  million  vs  £3.4  million  in  H1) 
although  the  absolute  level  of  sales  did  not  match  the 
high levels seen in H2 last year of £4.0 million (which were 
boosted  by  the  Gauguin  exhibition  at  Tate  Modern).  For 
the year as a whole overall Exhibition revenues increased 
by  5.7%,  with  notable  exhibitions  including  The  Cult  of 
Beauty at the V&A, Lucian Freud at the National Portrait 
Gallery  and  Gerhardt  Richter  and  the  Damien  Hirst 
retrospective, both at Tate Modern.

weather  conditions  compared  to  the  snow  and  ice  of 
the  prior  year.  The  trend  experienced  last  year  of 
reductions  in  weekend  discretionary  travel  has 
continued and weekend volumes were lower by 4.1% 
whereas  daily  commuting  was  less  affected  and 
passenger numbers declined by just 1.6%.

The  new  pontoon  with  a  capitalised  lease  cost  of  £5.0 
million brought additional operating and finance costs of 
£0.4 million per annum. To meet these costs, ferry fares 
were  increased  by  an  average  of  17.5%  from  the 
installation  date  and  after  absorbing  the  decline  in 
passenger numbers of 2.1%, core ferry revenues rose by 
10.6%. 

Cruise  revenues  saw  a  small  increase  to  £0.19  million 
(2011: £0.14 million) and a corresponding small increase 
in contribution as well as providing a valued service to the 
local community.

The pontoon which is held on an extendable 50 year lease 
from Gosport Borough Council secures PHFC’s position as 
harbour  ferry  operator  for  the  long  term  and  also 
significantly improves the passenger experience at Gosport 
providing  a  modern,  safe  and  welcoming  gateway  to  
the ferry. 

After the summer 2011 fare increases, with adult return 
ticket  prices  of  £2.70  (£1.35  per  crossing),  discounted 
fares  for  regular  customers,  and  lower  tariffs  for  seniors 
and children (£1.80 return), the ferry service continues to 
offer excellent value for money. With 99.9% of its annual 
70,000  sailings  departing  on  time  PHFC  maintained  its 
outstanding  reliability  record.  This  together  with  an 
exemplary safety record is the cornerstone of the success 
of  the  ferry  service  and  is  founded  on  the  very  high  
levels  of  commitment  and  expertise  of  the  ferry’s  staff, 
which we salute.

Momart
I  am  delighted  to  report  that  Momart,  the  Group’s  art 
handling  and  logistics  business,  continued  the  recovery 
seen  in  the  first  half  and  produced  a  much  improved 
performance for the year. Helped by the strength of the 
commercial art market, total revenue increased by 13.5% 
to  £15.0  million  (2011:  £13.2  million)  and  underlying 
operating  profit  rose  by  £0.43  million  (81%)  to  £0.96 
million (2011: £0.53 million).

Exhibitions
As  expected,  Exhibition  revenues  and  margins  improved 
substantially following the introduction of a more flexible 
pricing  policy  designed  to  defend  market  share  and 
deliver  the  sales  volume  necessary  to  adequately  cover 
fixed overheads. Exhibition sales saw a continued increase 

8

Managing Director’s Business Review

Gallery Services
In Gallery Services the good growth seen in the first half 
(+28%)  continued  into  the  second  half  with  further 
increases  of  25%  compared  to  H2  in  2010 /11.  For  the 
year  as  whole,  having  increased  by  nearly  30%  in 
2010/11, sales increased further, this year by 26%, to  a 
record level of £6.3 million (2011: £5.0 million). 

The global commercial art market has continued to show 
strong  growth  and  record  auction  sales  confirm  the 
attractiveness  of  art  as  an  alternative  investment  to 
financial  assets.  Momart  with  its  established  reputation 
for  technical  excellence  and  the  highest  levels  of  service 
has  continued  to  win  new  contracts  from  a  demanding 
global  clientele.  During  the  year  the  company  was 
successful in winning a number of important international 
contracts  such  as  the  simultaneous  display  of  Damien 
Hirst’s spot paintings at 11 Gagosian galleries worldwide. 
The  company’s  reputation  and  standing  with  galleries, 
artists, auction houses and collectors has been enhanced 
by  these  successful  high  profile  contracts  which  have 
reinforced  Momart’s  established  presence  at  the  major 
international fairs including Art Basel, Frieze London and 
Miami Basel. 

The  underlying  operating  profit  from  Gallery  Services 
increased  by  over  30%  in  the  year  and  has  been  the 
principal  factor  in  the  substantial  increase  in  profitability 
seen in the year.

Storage
Storage  revenues  increased  by  6.6%  to  £1.62  million.
Momart’s storage facilities are now close to their maximum 
capacity, accordingly plans are being progressed for their 
expansion although this will not come on stream until the 
next financial year. 

FOGL investment
The  Group  owns  14  million  shares  (4.4%  of  the  issued 
share capital) in AIM quoted Falkland Oil and Gas Limited 
(“FOGL”)  which  is  solely  engaged  in  exploration  in  the 
Falkland Islands. FOGL has the largest licence area of the 
five  listed  exploration  companies  which  currently  totals 
49,000 sq km.

FOGL’s  two  well  drilling  programme  is  expected  to 
commence in a few weeks and will take some 3 months 
to  complete.  The  recent  discovery  of  condensate  by 
Borders & Southern Petroleum in their Darwin well augurs 
well  for  the  prospectivity  of  similar  features  in  FOGL’s 
southern area which are not being drilled in this campaign.

to enable the Group to take advantage of the opportunities 
which  are  emerging  as  the  Falklands  move  towards  oil 
production. 

The  Group’s  financial  position  remains  strong  with  bank 
borrowings  reduced  to  £3.0  million  at  31  March  2012, 
while cash balances were £2.8 million.

In  the  medium  term  the  outlook  is  positive  and  we  are 
confident  of  further  growth  at  Momart  and  steady 
progression  at  PHFC.  In  the  Falklands  the  Group  is  well 
placed to take advantage of the transformational change 
which now seems increasingly likely.

Trading outlook
In  the  coming  year  we  expect  to  see  a  slowing  of  the 
growth  seen  in  2011/12.  PHFC  will  be  constrained  by 
weakened consumer demand in the UK, and at Momart 
we anticipate that the rate of growth will slow as capacity 
is fully utilised. 

In the Falkland Islands local demand will be soft pending 
increased activity from oil explorers and our cost base will 
increase  as  we  invest  further  in  strengthening  the 
management team. In the second half of the year we will 
be commencing the development of our property assets

ended 31 March 2012. These are discussed in more detail 
above in the Review of Operations.

Net financing costs
The Group’s net financing costs increased to £0.33 million 
from £0.20 million due principally to the £0.19 million of 
interest  on  the  finance  lease  for  the  new  Gosport 
Pontoon. This increase in finance costs was partially offset 
by  a  decrease  in  bank  interest  payable  reflecting  the  
£1.0 million reduction in bank loans.

Underlying pre-tax profit 
With  the  underlying  operating  profit  increase  of  £0.64 
million  to  £3.57  million  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in 
financing  costs,  the  Group’s  underlying  pre-tax  profits 
(“PBT”) grew by £0.51 million (18.3%) to £3.23 million.

Reported pre-tax profit 
After  charging  £0.4  million  for  the  amortisation  of 
intangible  assets  (2011:  £0.4  million)  reported  profit 
before  tax  for  the  Group  increased  by  21.9%  to  
£2.84 million (2011: £2.33 million).

Taxation 
The  Group  pays  corporation  tax  on  its  UK  and  Falkland 
Islands’ earnings at 26%. The reduction in UK corporation 
tax rate from 28% to 26% and then 24% (from 2012/13) 
has generated a deferred tax credit of £0.2 million (7.0%) 
in  the  current  year  reducing  the  effective  tax  charge  to 
20.5%. 

Fully  diluted  Earnings  per  Share  (“EPS”)  derived  from 
underlying  profits,  increased  by  27.2%  to  26.2p  (2011: 
20.6p). This reflected the lower effective tax rate.

Balance sheet
The  Group’s  Balance  Sheet  remains  strong.  Total  net 
assets  decreased  marginally  from  £30.6  million  in  the 
prior year to £29.5 million as at 31 March 2012 due to 
a  fall  in  the  market  value  of  the  Group’s  investment  in 
FOGL,  but  retained  earnings  after  the  payment  of  tax 
and dividends increased by £1.1 million to £13.3 million 
(2011:  £12.2  million).  Bank  borrowings  fell  to  £3.0 
million (2011: £4.0 million) and the Group had UK cash 
balances of £2.8 million (2011: £2.1 million).

The  carrying  value  of  intangible  assets  was  reduced  
by  annual  amortisation  charges  of  £0.4  million  to  
£12.7 million as at 31 March 2012 (2011: £13.1 million) 
(see note 11).

The  net  book  value  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
increased  by  £5.4  million  to  £12.9  million  (2011: 
£7.5  million)  after  capital  investment  of  £6.2  million, 
including  £5.0  million  applicable  to  the  new  Gosport 
Pontoon (see note 12). 

The  Group  owns  investment  properties  comprising 
commercial  and  residential  properties  in  the  Falkland 
Islands  held  for  rental  together  with  670  acres  of 
undeveloped  land.  At  31  March  2012  the  net  book  
value  of  these  assets  after  the  transfer  of  the  shopping 
complex at Mount Pleasant into operating properties was 
£1.5  million  (2011:  £1.7  million).  There  is  a  restricted 
market  for  freehold  land  in  the  Falklands,  and  the 
Directors  have  had  regard  to  this  in  estimating  the 
value  of  these  assets  and  at  31  March  2012  estimate 
that  the  fair  value  of  this  property  portfolio  was  
£3.9 million (31 March 2011: £4.2 million).

The Group shareholding in FOGL is described above in the 
Managing Director’s Business Review.

Cash flows
Operating cash flow 
Net  cash  flow  from  operating  activities  increased  from 
£0.8 million last year to £4.6 million, primarily due to the 
reversal of cash outflows into working capital seen in the 
prior year when the Falkland Islands experienced substantial 
growth.  This  followed  more  effective  management  of 
stock, receivables and creditors.

The Group’s Operating Cash Flow can be summarised as 
follows: 

Year ended 31 March 

Underlying PBT

Depreciation 

Interest payable

EBITDA 

Share based payments

Decrease/(increase) in working  
capital 

Deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  future  pension  liabilities 
increased  marginally  to  £0.59  million  (2011:  £0.55 
million). 

Non-property  related  inventories  decreased  from  £4.2 
million  to  £4.0  million  at  31  March  2012  largely 
representing  stock  held  for  resale  in  the  Group’s  retail 
operations in the Falkland Islands.

Property  related  inventories  are  shown  at  cost  and 
represent expenditure incurred to complete the conversion 
of Marmont Row back into a terrace of heritage cottages. 
After the sale of one property at the start of the year, the 
total cost of completed properties at 31 March 2012 was 
£1.0 million (2011: £1.2 million). 

Trade and other receivables were reduced by £0.2 million 
to £5.6 million as at 31 March 2012. Average debtor days 
outstanding were 57.7 (2011: 56.3).

Outstanding  finance  leases  totalled  £5.3  million  (2011: 
£0.2  million).  The  increase  in  finance  leases  is  largely 
represented  by  £4.9  million  in  respect  of  the  Gosport 
Pontoon. 

Corporation  tax  due  for  payment  within  the  next  
12 months is £0.5 million (2011: £0.6 million).

Trade and  other payables increased from £8.3  million to 
£8.8 million at 31 March 2012 reflecting increased trading 
activity. 

At  31  March  2012  the  liability  due  in  respect  of  the 
Group’s defined benefit pension schemes was £2.5 million 
(2011: £2.1 million) as a result of the decline in long term 
interest  rates  used  to  discount  future  liabilities.  The 
pension scheme in the Falkland Islands, which was closed 
to  new  entrants  and  to  further  accrual  in  2007  is 
unfunded  and  liabilities  are  met  as  they  fall  due  from 
operating cash flow. The net present value of the liability 
in respect of this scheme increased by £0.3 million to £2.4 
million. At PHFC following an enhanced cash offer made 
to  eligible  deferred  members  last  year  the  scheme’s  net 
deficit  has  almost  been  eliminated;  net  liabilities  at  
31 March 2012 were £0.06 million (2011: £0.02 million).

The net deferred tax liabilities at 31 March 2012 decreased 
by  £0.3  million  to  £1.1  million  (2011:  £1.4  million) 
due  principally  to  reductions  in  the  current  and  future 
rates of UK Corporation Tax announced in the Budget on  
26 March 2012.

Net assets per share were 317p at 31 March 2012 (2011: 
332p)  reflecting  a  lower  carrying  value  of  the  Group’s 
holding in FOGL at the year end.

Managing Director’s Financial Review

CONTINUED

Financing outflows 
During the year the Group paid dividends of £0.9 million 
and  received  £0.3  million  from  the  proceeds  of  shares 
issued following the exercise of share options. Investment 
in fixed assets continued with £1.3 million of expenditure 
to  strengthen  the  Group’s  operating  base  (2011:  £0.8 
million); £0.6 million was invested in Stanley with further 
improvements  to  FIC’s  general  store  at  the  MPA  military 
base while at Momart four new vehicles were purchased. 

With net outflows from financing and investment of £3.9 
million  (2011:  £2.5  million)  the  Group  generated  a  net 
cash inflow for the year of £0.7 million (2011: £1.7 million 
outflow). 

Business drivers, risk factors and key  
performance indicators
Business drivers
All  the  Group’s  businesses  are  consumer  oriented 
operations and their success is linked to general economic 
conditions in their markets. Inflation, employment levels, 
interest  rates  and  government  spending  programmes  all 
have  an  effect  on  disposable  incomes  and  consumer 
confidence. 

The  Group’s  businesses  in  the  Falkland  Islands  and 
Gosport  are  linked  to  local  demand  for  their  goods  and 
services. In addition, demand is boosted by tourist activity 
and  both  locations  have  been  affected  by  a  cyclical 
reduction  in  tourist  numbers  in  recent  years.  In  the 
Falkland  Islands  the  strength  of  the  economy  has  been 
closely linked to the fortunes of the fishing industry which 
accounts for over 60% of GDP. The variable factors have 
been the level of squid catches, in particular Illex, which 
has  experienced  very  large  variations,  whereas  Loligo, 
which  has  a  substantial  Falkland  ownership,  has  had 
fewer fluctuations. Since the start of drilling in the north 
Falkland  basin  in  2010,  offshore  oil  exploration  activity 
has had a significant impact on the economy and this is 
expected to continue in the current year. If, oil exploration 
were to stop this stimulus would cease and activity would 
revert  to  pre  2010  levels,  conversely  if  hydrocarbon 
exploitation progresses as expected the positive impact on 
the Falkland Islands economy will be very significant.

For Momart, activity in the art market is correlated to the 
performance of the wider global economy with increasing 
influence  attributable  to  emerging  economies  in  the 
Middle  East,  China  and  India.  Despite  the  continuing 
recession  in  the  UK  and  Europe  the  global  art  market  is 
still  experiencing  growth  with  the  emergence  of  new 
buyers, patrons and artists. In the commercial art market, 
ultra high net worth individuals are a key driver, whereas 
in the museums sector government funding remains key 
in  addition  to  corporate  sponsorship  and  revenue  raised 
from public admissions. Pressures on museum budgets in 
the  UK,  US  and  Europe  have  increased  as  Government 
subsidies have been cut and although in the longer term 
this will reverse, no recovery is anticipated in the near term. 

Income generated from cultural exports through travelling 
international exhibitions is an important source of revenue 
for  museums  and  galleries  and  is  attractive  although  in 
the near term privately sponsored exhibitions are likely to 
increase more than government funded exhibitions. 

Risk factors
The PHFC and FIC businesses are sensitive to changes in 
local economic conditions. The level of local competition 
also affects their performance. In the Falkland Islands, FIC 
faces  competition  in  almost  every  area  of  its  operations 
but due to the company’s long history and accumulated 
expertise,  in  most  sectors  in  which  it  operates  FIC  has  a 
leading market position. Maintaining leadership depends 
on continued innovation, investment and a commitment 
to customer service. 

Argentina continues to claim sovereignty of the Falkland 
Islands. However, the people of the Falkland Islands and 
their Government have no doubt that the Falkland Islands 
are  British.  The  British  Government  has  re-affirmed  its 
sovereignty in unequivocal terms and despite the fact that 
Argentina’s  protests  have  made  the  development  of 
commercial  links  with  other  South  American  countries 
difficult, the Islands’ key trade and logistic links with the 
UK  are  unaffected.  Argentina’s  military  capacity  has 
diminished since the conflict of 1982, whereas the Islands 
defences are much stronger. Argentina has expressly ruled 
out  military  action  against  the  Falklands  and  the  risk  of 
such  action  is  considered  to  be  negligible.  Diplomatic

At Momart, forward sales projections are monitored and 
updated  and  these  are  an  important  predictive  indicator 
which  facilitates  forward  planning.  In  addition,  order 
intake and the conversion rate in bidding for contracts are 
reviewed  on  a  regular  basis.  Direct  costs  and  the  gross 
contribution of individual contracts are monitored closely 
as are the level of indirect costs and the overall amount of 
overtime being worked.

efforts  by  Argentina  are  likely  to  continue  but  are  not 
expected to have any impact on the status of the Falkland 
Islands for the foreseeable future.

Although  there  is  no  other  directly  competing  service  to 
the  Portsmouth  Harbour  Ferry  between  Gosport  and 
Portsmouth, customers are able to travel by car or public 
transport round the harbour. Maintaining and promoting 
the  relative  attractions  of  using  the  ferry  whether  for 
commuting  to  work,  shopping  or  for  tourism  is  a  key 
strategic  focus.  PHFC  will  continue  to  work  closely  with 
local  authorities  and  other  public  transport  providers  to 
reinforce its advantages as the faster, more cost effective, 
and  environmentally  friendly  alternative  to  travelling  
by car. 

For  Momart  the  physical  security  of  artworks  is  of 
paramount  importance  and  the  company  goes  to  great 
lengths to guard against the risk of theft or damage to the 
works  in  its  care.  The  other  risks  faced  by  Momart  are 
those factors which might impact the global art market. 
For  instance  a  reduction  in  the  personal  wealth  of 
collectors  and  investors  could  result  in  a  contraction  of 
personal  or  institutional  budgets  which  would  lead  to  a 
reduction  in  the  movement  and  display  of  art.  The 
emergence  of  new  competitors  could  also  impact  the 
business adversely. In addition, because much of Momart’s 
business involves working with overseas partners, volatility 
in the Sterling/Dollar and Sterling/Euro exchange rates has 
a direct effect on its cost base and profitability.

Key performance indicators
At  Group  level  management  attention  is  focussed  on 
revenue,  costs  and  the  contribution  generated  by  each 
sub group of businesses. 

In  the  Falkland  Islands  businesses  like-for-like  revenue 
growth  is  a  key  measure  of  performance,  especially  for 
the retail outlets which account for two thirds of revenues. 
In addition to sales trends, gross margins by product and 
general costs are also kept under close review.

At  PHFC,  passenger  numbers  and  the  average  fare  yield 
are monitored on a weekly basis. Other key concerns are 
ferry reliability and passenger safety as well as a focus on 
costs and net profitability.

Directors’ Report

FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC

15

The  Directors  present  their  Annual  Report  and  the  financial  statements  for  the  Company  and  for  the  Group  for  the  year  ended 

31 March 2012.

Results and dividend

The Group’s result for the year is set out in the Group Income Statement. The Group profit for the year after taxation amounted to 

£2,256,000 (2011: £1,620,000). Basic earnings per share were 24.5p (2011: 17.7p). The Directors recommend a final dividend of 7.0p 

per share (2011: 5.5p) which, if approved by shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, will be paid on 19 September 

2012 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 31 August 2012. With the interim dividend of 4.0p paid in January 2012 

(2011: 4.0p) this will take the total dividend for the year to 11.0p per share (2011: 9.5p). The proposed final dividend has not been 

included  in  creditors  as  it  was  not  approved  before  the  year  end.  Dividends  paid  during  the  year  comprise  a  dividend  

of 5.5p per share in respect of the previous year ended 31 March 2011 and an interim dividend of 4.0p per share in respect of the 

current year.

Principal activities and business review

The business of the Group during the year ended 31 March 2012 was general trading in the Falkland Islands, the operation of a ferry 

across Portsmouth Harbour and the provision of international arts logistics and storage services. The principal activities of the Group are 

discussed  in  more  detail  in  the  Business  Review  and  should  be  considered  as  part  of  the  Directors’  Report  for  the  purposes  of  the 

requirements of the enhanced Directors’ Report guidance.

The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company.

Directors

There have been no changes to the Board during the year.

Directors’ interests

The  interests  of  the  Directors  in  the  issued  shares  and  share  options  over  the  shares  of  the  Company  are  set  out  below  under  the 

heading “Directors’ interests in shares”. During the year no Director had an interest in any significant contract relating to the business

control strategies. This is supplemented by a policy of investigating and recording all incidents.

Employees

The Board is aware of the importance of good relationships and communication with employees. Where appropriate, employees are 

consulted about matters which affect the progress of the Group and which are of interest and concern to them as employees. Within 

this framework, emphasis is placed on developing greater awareness of the financial and economic factors which affect the performance

not discriminate against them in terms of job offers, training or career development and prospects. If an existing employee were to 

become  disabled  during  the  course  of  employment,  every  practical  effort  would  be  made  to  retain  the  employee’s  services  with 

whatever retraining is appropriate. The Group’s pension arrangements for employees are summarised in note 24.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the Directors’ Report and financial statements

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group and Company financial statements in accordance with 

applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they 

are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and applicable laws 

and have elected to prepare the Company financial statements on the same basis.

Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view 

of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of their profit or loss for that period.

In preparing each of the Group and Company financial statements, the Directors are required to:

The  Directors  are  responsible  for  keeping  adequate  accounting  records  that  are  sufficient  to  show  and  explain  the  Company’s 

transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that 

its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have a general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably 

open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Under  applicable  law  and  regulations  the  Directors  are  also  responsible  for  preparing  a  Directors’  Report,  Directors’  Remuneration 

Report and Corporate Governance Statement that comply with that law and those regulations.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s 

website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other 

jurisdictions.

The Directors confirm, to the best of their knowledge that:

We have audited the financial statements of Falkland Islands Holdings plc for the year ended 31 March 2012 set out on pages 20 to 67. 

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting

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. 

Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditors

opinion on, the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those 

standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2012

1  Accounting policies
General information

Falkland Islands Holdings plc (the “Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in the UK.

Reporting entity

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Parent 

Company financial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about its group.

Basis of preparation

Both the Parent Company financial statements and the Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors 

in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  adopted  by  the  EU  (“Adopted  IFRS”).  On  publishing  the  Parent 

Company financial statements here together with the Group financial statements, the Company is taking advantage of the exemption 

in s408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual income statement and related notes that form a part of these approved 

financial statements.

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have,  unless  otherwise  stated,  been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these 

consolidated financial statements.

The management and development of the Group’s property portfolio in the Falkland Islands is a significant part of the Group’s trading 

activity. Associated gains and losses on the disposal of rental properties and property developments are accordingly recognised within 

gross profit.

Judgements  made  by  the  Directors  in  the  application  of  these  accounting  policies  that  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  financial 

statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment next year are discussed in note 31.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on the historical cost 

basis except that available-for-sale financial instruments and derivative financial instruments are stated at their fair value.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Group has adequate financial resources to meet its projected liquidity requirements 

and also for ensuring forecast earnings are sufficient to meet the covenants associated with the Group’s banking facilities.

As in prior years the Directors have reviewed the Group’s medium term forecasts and considered a number of possible trading scenarios 

and are satisfied the Group’s existing resources (including committed banking facilities) are sufficient to meet its needs. As a consequence 

the Directors believe the Group is well placed to manage its business risk.

The Group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out 

in the Managing Director’s Business Review. The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities 

are also described in the Managing Director’s Financial Review. In addition, note 27 to the financial statements includes the Group’s 

objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments 

and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group has considerable financial resources. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its 

business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook.

After making enquiries the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group have adequate reserves to continue 

in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial 

statements.

Basis of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Falkland  Islands  Holdings  plc  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 

“Group”). A subsidiary is any entity Falkland Islands Holdings plc has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as 

to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent 

Company.  The  accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  when  necessary  to  align  them  with  the  policies  adopted  by  

the Group.

FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC

29

1  Accounting policies  CONTINUED

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date 

on which control is transferred out of the Group.

All intra-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full in 

preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of 

impairment.

Investments in subsidiaries not classified as held-for-sale within the Company balance sheet are stated at cost.

Presentation of income statement

Due to the non-prescriptive nature under IFRS as to the format of the income statement, the format used by the Group is explained 

below.

Operating profit is the pre-finance profit of continuing activities and acquisitions of the Group, and in order to achieve consistency and 

comparability, is analysed to show separately the results of normal trading performance (“underlying profit”), individually significant 

charges and credits, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and amortisation of intangible assets on acquisition. 

Such items arise because of their size or nature, and in 2012 and 2011 comprise the amortisation of intangible assets.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates ruling at the dates of 

the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency using the 

relevant rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses thereon are included in the income statement.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises purchase 

price and directly attributable expenses. Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated 

useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Freehold buildings 

Long leasehold land and buildings 

Vehicles, plant and equipment 

Ships 

20 – 50 years

50 years

4 – 10 years

15 – 30 years

The carrying value of assets and their useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If an indication 

of impairment exists, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount and the impairment is charged to the income statement 

in the period in which it arises.

Freehold land and assets-in-construction are not depreciated.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are 

stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation (calculated on useful economic lives in line with accounting policy, property, plant and 

equipment above) and any impairment losses.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Acquisitions prior to 1 April 2006

In respect to acquisitions prior to transition to IFRS, goodwill is recorded on the basis of deemed cost, which represents the amount 

recorded  under  previous  Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  (“GAAP”)  as  at  the  date  of  transition.  The  classification  and 

accounting treatment of business combinations which occurred prior to transition has not been reconsidered in preparing the Group’s 

opening IFRS balance sheet at 1 April 2006. Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events 

or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Acquisitions on or after 1 April 2006

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest 

in  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  of  the  acquired  business.  Following  initial  recognition, 

goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually 

or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such 

lives  are  indefinite.  Other  intangible  assets  are  amortised  from  the  date  they  are  available  for  use.  The  estimated  useful  lives  are  as 

follows:

Trade name 

Customer relationships 

Non-compete agreements 

Computer software

20 years

6 – 10 years

5 years

Acquired  computer  software  is  capitalised  as  an  intangible  asset  on  the  basis  of  the  cost  incurred  to  acquire  and  bring  the  specific 

software into use. Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible 

assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of computer software is five years.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Goodwill and intangible assets 

with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually. Where an indicator of impairment exists or the asset requires annual impairment 

testing, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable 

amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income 

statement.

Recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell or value in use. It is determined for 

an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not 

generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount 

is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current 

market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses are reversed if there has been a 

change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s 

carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no 

impairment loss had been recognised.

Finance income and expense

Net  financing  costs  comprise  interest  payable,  interest  receivable,  and  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  that  are  recognised  in  the 

income statement.

Interest income and interest payable are recognised as a profit or loss as they accrue, using the effective interest method.

Financial instruments

Certain financial instruments held by the Group are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant 

gain or loss being recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity, except for impairment 

losses. When these items are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised to profit 

and loss.

Financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured 

at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement as they arise. The 

Group has not applied hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments.

Employee share awards

The Group provides benefits to certain employees (including Directors) in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the 

employee renders service in return for shares or rights over future shares (“equity settled transactions”). The cost of these equity settled 

transactions with employees is measured by reference to an estimate of their fair value at the date on which they were granted using 

an  option  input  pricing  model  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  options  were  granted.  The  amount 

recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the  actual  number  of  share  options  for  which  the  related  service  and  non-market 

performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of 

share  options  that  meet  the  related  service  and  non-market  performance  conditions  at  the  vesting  date.  For  share-based  payment 

awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payments is measured to reflect such conditions and 

there is no true up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in reserves, over the period in which the 

performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date that the option vests.

Where  the  Company  grants  options  over  its  own  shares  to  the  employees  of  subsidiaries,  it  recognises,  in  its  individual  financial 

statements, an increase in the cost of investment in its subsidiaries equal to the equity settled share-based payment charge recognised 

in its consolidated financial statements with the corresponding credit being recognised directly in equity.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present 

location and condition, as follows:

The cost of raw materials, consumables and goods for resale comprises purchase cost, on a first-in, first-out basis and where applicable 

includes expenditure incurred in transportation to the Falkland Islands.

Work-in-progress  and  finished  goods  cost  includes  direct  materials  and  labour  plus  attributable  overheads  based  on  a  normal  level  

of activity.

Construction-in-progress and properties-held-for-sale relating to the Group’s property trading portfolio in the Falkland Islands are stated 

at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is estimated at selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs of disposal.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable by the Group 

for goods supplied and services rendered in the normal course of business, net of discounts and excluding VAT. Revenue principally 

arises from retail sales, the provision of ferry services and the provision of storage and transportation services for fine art works. In the 

Falkland Islands revenue also includes proceeds from property sales, property rental income, insurance commissions, revenues billed for 

shipping and agency activities and port services. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale or dispatch, whilst that 

of the ferry, fine art logistics and other services is recognised when the service is provided. Revenue from property sales is recognised 

on completion.

For fine art exhibition logistical work undertaken the amount of profit attributable to the stage of completion of a contract is recognised 

when the outcome of the contract can be seen with reasonable certainty, typically upon successful opening. Turnover for such contracts 

is stated at the cost appropriate to their stage of completion plus attributable profit, less amounts already recognised. Provision is made 

for losses as soon as they are foreseeable.

Pensions

Defined contribution pension schemes

The Group operates three defined contribution schemes. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Group in 

independently administered funds. The amount charged to the income statement represents the contributions payable to the schemes 

in respect to the accounting period.

Defined benefit pension schemes

The Group also operates two pension schemes providing benefits based on final pensionable pay, one of which is unfunded. The assets 

of the funded scheme are held separately from those of the Group.

The Group’s net obligation in respect of each defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that 

employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to its present value; and 

any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of the plan assets (at bid price) are deducted. The liability discount rate is the 

yield at the balance sheet date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. 

The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to 

the Group, the asset recognised is limited to the net total of any unrecognised past service costs and the present value of any future 

refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The current service cost and costs from settlements and curtailments are charged against operating profit.

Past service costs are spread over the period until the benefit increases vest. Interest charged on the scheme liabilities and the expected 

return on scheme assets are included in other finance costs.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the period in which they arise in the statement of comprehensive income.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are carried at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal 

of impairment is recognised in the income statement.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their cost less payments made.

FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC

Dividends on funds presented within shareholders’ funds

Dividends  unpaid  at  the  balance  sheet  date  are  only  recognised  as  liabilities  at  that  date  to  the  extent  that  they  are  appropriately 

authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or 

less.  Bank  overdrafts  that  are  repayable  on  demand  and  form  an  integral  part  of  the  Group’s  cash  management  are  included  as  a 

component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing  borrowings  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  less  directly  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 income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

Tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, 

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted at the 

balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 

and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary timing differences 

are not recognised:

foreseeable future.

A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profits  will  be  available  against  which  the 

temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is 

no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is recognised at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on 

rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.

Leased assets

Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases 

are classified as operating leases.

As lessee

Rentals in respect of all operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

34

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

CONTINUED

1  Accounting policies  CONTINUED

As lessor

Assets under hire purchase agreements are shown in the balance sheet under current assets to the extent they are due within one year, 

and under non-current assets to the extent that they are due after more than one year, and are stated at the value of the net investment 

in the agreements. The income from such agreements is credited to the income statement each year so as to give a constant rate of 

return on the funds invested.

Assets held for leasing out under operating leases are included in investment property (where they constitute land and buildings) or in 

property, plant and equipment (where they do not constitute land and buildings) at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment 

losses. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental 

income.

Finance lease payments

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is 

allocated to each period of the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when their carrying values will be recovered principally 

through sale. They are generally measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, 

and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of 

the  amount  of  the  obligation.  If  the  effect  is  material,  provisions  are  determined  by  discounting  the  expected  cash  flows  at  an 

appropriate pre-tax risk free rate.

New accounting standards and interpretations applied

During the year the Group has adopted the following standards:

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Presentation of statement of changes in equity

New accounting standards and interpretations not applied

During the year, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 

(“IFRIC”) have issued the following standards and interpretations with potential application to the Group with an effective date after 

the end of these financial statements:

International Accounting Standards (IAS / IFRS) 

(accounting periods commencing on or after):

Effective date

Endorsed

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 

1 January 2013

The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of the standards and interpretations listed above will have a material impact on the 

Group’s or Company’s financial statements in the period of initial application, however additional disclosures will be required.

2  Segmental analysis
The Group is organised into three operating segments, and information on these segments is reported to the chief operating decision 

maker (‘CODM’) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance. The CODM has been identified as the Board 

of Directors.

The  operating  segments  offer  different  products  and  services  and  are  determined  by  business  type:  general  trading  in  the  Falkland 

Islands, the provision of ferry services and art logistics and storage.

Segment  results,  assets  and  liabilities  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a  segment  as  well  as  those  that  can  be  allocated  on  a 

reasonable basis.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets 

other than goodwill.

Factors affecting the future tax charges

The 2012 budget on 21 March 2012 announced that the UK corporation tax rate will be reduced to 22% by 2014. A reduction in the 

rate of 26% to 24% (effective from 1 April 2012) was substantively enacted in March 2012.

It has not yet been possible to quantify the full anticipated effect of the announced 2% rate reduction, although this will further reduce 

the Group and Company deferred tax assets and liabilities accordingly.

10  Earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on profits on ordinary activities after taxation, and the weighted average number 

of shares in issue in the period, excluding shares held under the Employee Share Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) (see note 26).

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on profits on ordinary activities after taxation, and the weighted average number 

of shares in issue in the period, excluding shares held under the ESOP, adjusted to assume the full issue of share options outstanding, 

to the extent that they are dilutive.

The  Group  tests  goodwill  annually  for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if  there  are  indications  that  goodwill  might  be  impaired.  An 

impairment test is a comparison of the carrying value of the assets of a CGU, based on a value-in-use calculation, to their recoverable 

amounts. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value an impairment results. During the year the goodwill for each 

CGU was separately assessed and tested for impairment, with no impairment charges resulting (2011: nil).

As part of testing goodwill for impairment detailed forecasts of operating cash flows for the next five years are used, which are based 

on approved budgets and plans by the Board of Falkland Islands Holdings plc. These forecasts represent the best estimate of future 

performance of the CGUs based on past performance and expectations for the market development of the CGU.

A number of key assumptions are used as part of impairment testing. These key assumptions are made by management reflecting past 

experience combined with their knowledge as to future performance and relevant external sources of information. Sensitivity analysis 

as at 31 March 2012 has indicated that no reasonably foreseeable change in the key assumptions used in the impairment model would 

result in a significant impairment charge being recorded in the financial statements.

Discount rates

Within  impairment  testing  models  cash  flows  of  all  CGUs  are  discounted  using  a  pre  tax  discount  rate  of  13.6%  (2011:  14.1%).

Management have determined that this rate is appropriate as the risk adjustment applied within the discount rate reflects the risks and 

rewards inherent to each CGU, based on the industry and geographical location it is based within. Both Ferry Services and Art Logistics 

and Storage have stable core revenue streams and are considered to have a similar risk profile.

Long term growth rates

Long term growth rates of 2% have been used for all CGUs as part of the impairment testing models. This growth rate does not exceed 

the long term average growth rate for the UK, in which the CGUs operate.

Other assumptions

Other assumptions used within impairment testing models include an estimation of long term effective tax rate for the CGUs.

The long-term effective rate of tax is consistent with the current UK tax rate.

The terminal value is calculated based on the Gordon Growth model.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

Using  a  discounted  cash  flow  methodology  necessarily  involves  making  numerous  estimates  and  assumptions  regarding  growth, 

operating margins, tax rates, appropriate discount rates, capital expenditure levels and working capital requirements. These estimates 

will likely differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows, and it is possible that these differences could be material. In 

addition, judgements are applied by the Directors in determining the level of cash generating units and the criteria used to determine 

which assets should be aggregated. A difference in testing levels could further affect whether an impairment is recorded and the extent 

of impairment loss.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

11  Intangible assets  CONTINUED

Assumptions specific to ferry services (Portsmouth)

Value in use was determined by discounting future cash flows in line with the other assumptions discussed above. Management have 

forecast consistent growth in cash flows of 2% in both the short and long term. The value in use was determined to exceed the carrying 

amount and no impairment has been recognised. It is not considered that a reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions 

would generate a different impairment test outcome to the one included in this annual report.

Assumptions specific to arts logistics and storage (UK)

Value in use was determined by discounting future cash flows in line with the other assumptions as discussed above. Cash flows were 

projected based on approved budgets and plans which foresee growth rates in excess of 10% over the forecast period. The long term 

growth  rate  is  projected  to  be  2%  thereafter.  The  carrying  value  of  the  unit  was  determined  to  not  be  higher  than  its  recoverable 

amount and no impairment was recognised (2011: nil).

have a fair value of approximately £3.9 million as at 31 March 2012 giving an unrecognised uplift of £2.4 million. This valuation was 

undertaken by a Director of the Falklands Islands Company Limited, who is resident in the Falkland Islands and is considered to have 

the relevant knowledge and experience to undertake the valuation. The valuation of land reflects the restricted and limited market for 

freehold land in the Falkland Islands.

The Company does not own any investment properties.

24  Employee benefits: pension plans
The Group operates three defined contribution pension schemes. In addition it also operates two defined benefit pension schemes, 

both of which have been closed to new members and to future accrual.

Defined contribution schemes

The Group operates three defined contribution pension schemes. The pension cost charge for the year represents contributions payable 

by the Group to the schemes and amounted to £229,000 (2011: £362,000). The Group anticipates paying contributions amounting to 

£244,000 during the year ending 31 March 2013.

There were no outstanding or prepaid contributions at either the beginning or end of the financial year.

The Falkland Islands Company Limited operates a defined benefit pension scheme for certain employees which is unfunded and was 

closed to new members in 1988. This scheme was closed to further accrual on 31 March 2007. Benefits are payable on retirement at 

the normal retirement age.

Actuarial reports for IAS 19 purposes as at 31 March 2012, 31 March 2011, 31 March 2010, 31 March 2009, and 31 March 2008 were

By special resolution at an Annual General Meeting on 9 September 2010 the Company adopted new articles of association principally 

to take account of the various changes in company law brought in by the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence the Company no 

longer has an authorised share capital.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at 

meetings of the Company.

On  31  March  2000,  an  Employee  Share  Ownership  Plan  was  established.  At  31  March  2012  the  plan  held  36,499  (2011:  36,499) 

ordinary  shares  at  a  cost  of  £68,542  (2011:  £68,542).  The  market  value  of  the  shares  at  31  March  2012  was  £133,769 

(2011: £120,446). Shares held in the ESOP receive a nominal 0.01p per share in each dividend payment, as in prior years.

For more information on share options please see note 25.

The other reserves in the Group comprise: £5,389,000 of merger relief and £2,442,000 of premium on shares issued in the year to  

31  March  2008  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Momart  International  Limited.  These  have  been  offset  by  £4,686,000  of 

cumulative positive goodwill written off to reserves, and £1,983,000 impairment charge in relation to goodwill arising on the Momart 

acquisition.  As  a  result  of  the  Momart  impairment,  a  transfer  was  made  from  other  reserves  to  retained  earnings.  The  transfer 

neutralised the impact of the impairment charge recognised on the retained earnings reserve.

Dividends

The following dividends were recognised in the period:

Final: 5.5p (2011 Final: 5.0p) per qualifying ordinary share

Interim: 4.0p (2011 Interim: 4.0p) per qualifying ordinary share

27  Financial instruments

(i) Fair values of financial instruments 

Investments in equity securities 

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the balance sheet date. 

Trade and other receivables 

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of 

interest at the balance sheet date if the effect is material. 

Trade and other payables 

The  fair  value  of  trade  and  other  payables  is  estimated  as  the  present  value  of  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  market  rate  of 

interest at the balance sheet date if the effect is material. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated as its carrying amount where the cash is repayable on demand. Where it is not 

repayable on demand then the fair value is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest 

at the balance sheet date. 

Interest-bearing borrowings 

Fair value, which after initial recognition is determined for disclosure purposes only, is calculated based on the present value of future 

principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. 

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by their market value at the reporting date. 

IAS 39 categories and fair values 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different to the carrying values shown in the consolidated 

balance sheet and Company balance sheet. 

The following table shows the carrying value for each category of financial instrument:

(ii) Credit risk

Financial risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 

obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC

27  Financial instruments  CONTINUED

Group 

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group comprises the 

amounts presented in the balance sheet, which are stated net of provisions for doubtful debt. A provision is made where there is an 

identified  loss  event  which,  based  on  previous  experience,  is  evidence  of  a  reduction  in  the  recoverability  of  future  cash  flows. 

Management has credit policies in place to manage risk on an ongoing basis. These include the use of customer specific credit limits.

Company 

The  majority  of  the  Company’s  receivables  are  with  subsidiaries.  The  Company  does  not  consider  these  counter-parties  to  be  a 

significant credit risk.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Therefore, the maximum exposure to credit risk at the 

balance  sheet  date  was  £7,798,000  (2011:  £6,742,000)  being  the  total  trade  receivables,  other  financial  assets  and  cash  and  cash 

equivalents in the balance sheet.

The allowance account for trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the 

amount owing is possible; at that point the amounts considered irrecoverable are written off against the trade receivables directly.

No further analysis has been provided for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables from Group companies, other receivables and 

other financial assets as there is limited exposure to credit risk and no provisions for impairment have been recognised.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Financial risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 

Group and Company

At the beginning of the period the Group had outstanding bank loans of £4.0 million. All payments due during the year with respect 

to these agreements were met as they fell due. The Group continues to maintain a £2.0 million Revolving Credit facility to fund working 

capital requirements which was undrawn at the year end.

The Group manages its cash balances centrally at head office and prepares rolling cash flow forecasts to ensure funds are available to 

meet its secured and unsecured commitments as and when they fall due.

The Group has a loan of £0.6 million (2011: £0.8 million) in respect of the ferry delivered in 2005. The loan is repayable over a 10 year 

period from June 2005 and bears interest at 1.10% above the HSBC base rate, with a minimum base rate of 2.75%. 

The Group has a further loan of £2.4 million (2011: £3.2 million) in respect of the acquisition of Momart International Limited. The loan 

is repayable over five years from June 2010 and bears interest at 1.5% above the Bank of England base rate. 

Sensitivity analysis

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would have decreased equity and profit or loss by the amounts 

shown below. This calculation assumes that the change occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to risk exposures 

existing at that date. 

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant and considers the effect of financial 

instruments  with  variable  interest  rates  and  financial  instruments  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  or  available-for-sale  with  fixed 

interest rates. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 31 March 2011.

31  Accounting estimates and judgements

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  adopted  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and 

assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates 

and associated assumptions are based upon historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the 

circumstances,  the  results  of  which  form  the  basis  of  the  judgements  as  to  asset  and  liability  carrying  values  which  are  not  readily 

apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from these estimates, and taken into account in periodic reviews of the application 

of such estimates and assumptions.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, 

or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Actuarial assumptions have been used to value the defined benefit pension liabilities. Management have selected these assumptions 

from a range of possible options following consultations with independent actuarial advisors.

Impairment tests have been undertaken with respect to intangible assets (see note 11 for further details) using commercial judgement 

and  a  number  of  assumptions  and  estimates  have  been  made  to  support  their  carrying  amounts.  In  determining  the  fair  value  of 

intangible assets recognised on the acquisition of Momart International Limited management acted after consultation with independent 

intangible asset valuation advisors.
