Background to the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements for the 2015 financial year
In accordance with EU regulation 1606/2002 dated July 19, 2002,
the LISI Group’s consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in line with IAS/IFRS international accounting standards as
adopted by the European Union on December 31, 2016.
2.2.1.1 Standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by
the EU and mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2016
Amendments IAS 16 and IAS 38 (clarification of acceptable methods
of depreciation and amortization), IAS 19 (employee contributions),
IFRS 11 (accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations),
IAS 27 (equity method in separate financial statements) had no effect
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016.
2.2.1.2 New standards and interpretation for later application
approved by the European Union
No standard, interpretation or amendment to existing standards was
applied in anticipation in the financial statements at December 31,
2016.
The standards and interpretations published and approved by the
European Union, but whose application is not yet mandatory, are the
following:
a) At the end of May 2014, the IASB published standard IFRS 15,
Revenue from contracts with customers. This standard concerns
the recognition and valuation of the revenue from ordinary
activities from contracts with customers. This standard will replace
standards IAS 18, Revenue from ordinary activities and IAS 101,
Construction contracts. This standard should come into force
for financial years starting from January 1, 2018. This standard
introduces a single analysis grid regardless of the transactions
(sale of goods, sale of services, granting of licenses, etc.) with five
successive stages:
–
–
identification of the contract or contracts;
–
–
identification of the seller’s various contractual obligations
(performance obligations);
–
–
determination of the price of the transaction;
–
–
allocation of the price of the transaction to the various obligations
identified;
–
–
the initial analyses show how the impacts of this standard are
not particularly material.
The analysis of the impacts of this standard is in progress.
b) InJuly 2014, the IASBpublished standard IFRS9, Financial Instruments,
intended to replace IAS 32 and IAS 39, the standards currently in
force for the presentation, recognition and evaluation of financial
instruments. This standard groups the three phases which make up
the project: classification and evaluation, impairment and hedging
accounting. The modifications made by IFRS 9 concern:
–
–
the rules for classifying and evaluating the financial assets which
reflect the economic model in the context in which they are
managed as well as their contractual cash flows;
–
–
the rules for impairment of receivables, henceforth based on
“expected losses” and not on “realized losses”;
–
–
the treatment of the hedging accounting;
–
–
this standard is expected to come into force for financial years
starting from January 1, 2018. The analysis of the impacts is in
progress.
c) In January 2016, the IASB published standard IFRS 16, Lease contracts.
This standard will lead companies leasing significant assets as
part of their activity to recognize an asset and a financial debt
corresponding to the lease commitment.
This standard, not yet adopted by the European Union, should come
into force for the financial years starting from January 1, 2019. The
analysis of the impacts is in progress.
