of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment,
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's
previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain
purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of
measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable by the Group for goods supplied and services
provided, excluding value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue from the sale of spare parts is recognised when the goods
are dispatched or, if under a bill and hold arrangement, when they are available for despatch to a specific customer.
Revenue from the sale of engines is recognised in accordance with the performance of contractual terms and specifically
when the engines have been satisfactorily tested in accordance with contractual terms. Revenue from servicing and repair
work is recognised when the work is completed.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Management are required, in accordance with IFRS, to exercise judgement and to make estimates and assumptions regarding the
application of accounting policies and the resulting effect on reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a review of current conditions prevailing
at the time but actual results may differ from these estimates. Any such revision is recognised in the financial statements
in the period in which the change in circumstance is detected.
ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS
The key areas where management have exercised judgement in the year, and the thought processes undertaken, are as follows:
Deferred tax
Judgement is applied by management in determining the extent to which the recovery of carried forward tax losses is
probable for the purpose of meeting the criteria for recognition as deferred tax assets. Note 20 sets out information on
carried forward tax losses for which a deferred tax asset has not been recognised.
Pension scheme
The directors are in regular contact with the Trustees of the pension scheme in connection with three keys areas where
judgement is exercised; the assumptions underpinning the actuarial valuation, continued negotiations regarding the pension
scheme and in relation to the payment plan. The directors then assess the relevant estimates and assumptions made to ensure
that statutory obligations are met.
In evaluating the assumptions underpinning the actuarial valuation the directors have sought the professional advice of a
firm of actuaries who prepare the valuation according to industry standards and norms. During the year under review an
actuarial loss of £99,000 (2015: £566,000) was recognised in the Group accounts.
The assumptions underpinning the actuarial valuation are disclosed further in note 17 to the Group financial statements.
Available for sale financial assets
During the year to 31 March 2016, British Polar Engines investment in 3 Legs Resources PLC was consolidated into an
investment in SalvaRx following a reverse acquisition. As a result, 1 new share in SalvaRx Group PLC was issued for every
100 shares previously held in 3 Legs Resources. Following the reverse acquisition, British Polar Engines holding in 3 Legs
Resources of 19.9% became a 2.36% holding in SalvaRx, as disclosed in note 14. The directors have judged that this holding
does not give the group 'significant influence' over SalvaRx Group PLC, and so this investment has not been accounted for
as an associate in these financial statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The key accounting estimate having an impact on carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the reporting period is as
follows:
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (including an appropriate proportion of attributable supplier rebates and
discounts) and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling
expenses. Provision is made for obsolete or slow moving inventories where appropriate.
Inventories held by the Group consist of raw material (mainly components), work in progress (manufactured engines and
parts) and finished goods (both purchased and manufactured engines and parts). A specific provision is made, on a 100%
basis, for all stock lines that are obsolete or slow moving for periods in excess of four years. A general provision is
made of 5%, 12.5%, 25% and 50% over all stock lines that have not moved for one, two, three and four years respectively.
The inventory provision at the year end amounted to £2,411,000 (2015: £2,430,000). The gross value of inventories at the
year end is £3,369,000 (2015: £3,369,000).
The directors review their assumptions and accounting estimates, along with the accounting policies adopted in preparing
these financial statements, on a regular basis and recognise any change in the period in which circumstances vary.
Provisions for doubtful debts
At the balance sheet date, each subsidiary evaluates the collectability of trade receivables and records provisions for
doubtful or disputed debts based on experience including comparisons of the relative age of accounts and consideration of
the history. The actual level of debt collected may differ from the estimated levels of recovery and could impact future
operating results positively or negatively. As at 31 March 2016 the Group has provided £396,000 (2015: £86,000) against its
current trade receivables.
INVENTORIES AND IMPAIRMENT OF INVENTORIES
Inventories of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Work in progress and finished goods include an appropriate allocation of overheads.
Cost is on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of
business, less estimated costs of completion and provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories.
LEASED ASSETS
Leases of property and plant and equipment, where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are
classified as finance leases. Assets held under finance leases are capitalised at lease inception at the lower of the
asset's fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Obligations related to finance leases, net of
finance charges in respect of future periods, are included as appropriate within borrowings. The interest element of the
finance cost is charged to the income statement over the life of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant or equipment is depreciated on the
same basis as owned plant and equipment or over the life of the lease, if shorter.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease rentals (net of any related lease incentives) are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the
period of the lease.

GROUP AND PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The functional and presentational currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries is UK Pounds Sterling, rounded to the
nearest thousands. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the rate ruling at the
date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any gains or losses arising from the transactions are
taken to the income statement.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and any impairment in value. Freehold land is not
depreciated. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of all property, plant and equipment less its residual value
by annual instalments over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold buildings 5 per cent straight line
Plant and machinery 7½- 33⅓ per cent straight line
These useful lives and residual values are reviewed in each financial period.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or
where shorter, over the term of the relevant lease. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised as income.
The carrying values of property, plant and machinery are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the carrying values exceed
the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts.
TAXATION
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax payable is based on the taxable profit or loss for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as
reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other
years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The deferred tax is not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business
combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of
reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
For defined benefit retirement schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised
in full in the period in which they occur. They are recognised outside profit or loss and presented in the Group statement
of comprehensive income.
Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to cumulative unrecognised past service cost, plus the present value of
available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
ASSOCIATED BRITISH ENGINEERING PLC
GROUP AND PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS (Continued)
Actuarial gains and losses, which represent differences between the expected and actuarial returns on the plan assets and
the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions, are recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income in the period
in which they occur.
Pension payments to the Group's defined contribution schemes are charged to the income statement as they arise.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity of
three months or less which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements
entered into.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt
instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such
in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the income
statement. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of charge on the outstanding liability.
Where none of the contractual terms of share capital meet the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as
an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.
Further analysis of the Group's financial instruments, and the relevant exposure to risks and uncertainties, is stated in
note 19 and the various classifications of financial assets and liabilities are identified and explained.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are originally recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision against trade receivables is made when there is
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms
of those receivables. The total of bad, doubtful debts and overdue at the year-end was £396,000 (2015: £86,000). Trade
receivables and cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are originally recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Investments in securities
Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where a purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract
whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially
measured at fair value, with all transaction costs being written off to the income statement as incurred.
Investments are classified as available for sale and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value. Gains and
losses arising from changes in fair value of available for sale financial assets are included in other comprehensive income
for the period. When the asset is disposed of or deemed to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from
equity reserve to income statement.
ASSOCIATED BRITISH ENGINEERING PLC
GROUP AND PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
At each balance sheet date the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether
there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does
not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than
its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior
years.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The standard requires financial information to be disclosed in the financial statements in the same format in which it is
disclosed to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief decision-maker has been identified as the Board, at which level
strategic decisions are made.
EQUITY AND RESERVES
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued except for the preference shares classified as
debt.
Deferred shares represents shares arising from the sub-division of ordinary shares of £2.
Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing
of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.
Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits and losses.
Available for sale reserve includes all gains and losses relating to Available for Sale financial assets.
Other reserves relate to movements not classified in any of the reserves detailed above.
All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.
