10 control is determined by:
· Power over the investee.
· Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee.
· The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of
the investor's returns.
Although 50% owned, Multi-Lines have their own independent management who
operate without direct oversight of Group management on a day to day basis.
Therefore the level of power over the business is considered to be more in
keeping with that of an associate than a joint-venture, and hence it has been
treated as such within these consolidated accounts.
Intangible brand assets
Due to acquisitions in prior years the Group carries intangible brand assets
with indefinite lives.
The indefinite life is considered to remain appropriate because of several
factors, chief amongst which was that the growth potential of the B&M and
Jawoll businesses, which are considered by management to be long-term
phenomenon.
Put/call options on Jawoll non-controlling interest
The purchase agreement for Jawoll in April 2014 included call and put options
over the shares not purchased by the Group, representing 20% of Jawoll. The
options are arranged such that it is considered likely that either the call or
put option will be taken at the exercise date in 2019.
The exercise price of the options contain a variable element and as such the
risk and rewards of the options are considered to remain with the
non-controlling interest. The purchase of the non-controlling interest will be
recognised upon exercise of one of the options.
A financial liability has been recognised carried at amortised cost to
represent the expected exercise price, with the corresponding debit entry to
the put/call option reserve. Management have estimated the future measurement
inputs in arriving at this value, using knowledge of current performance,
expected growth and planned strategy. Any subsequent movements in the
liability will be recognised in profit or loss.
Standards and interpretations not yet applied by the Group
New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group;
· IFRIC 21, "Levies", sets out the accounting for an obligation to pay a
levy if that liability is within the scope of IAS 37, "Provisions". The
interpretation addresses what the obligating event is that gives rise to pay a
levy and when a liability should be recognised. The adoption of IFRIC 21 does
not have a significant impact for the Group.
· Annual improvements 2011-2013. The amendments include changes from the
2011-13 cycle of the annual improvements project that affects four standards:
IFRS 1, "First time adoption", IFRS 3 "Business combination", IFRS 13, "Fair
value measurement" and IAS 40, "Investment property". The application of these
amendments had no significant impact for the Group.
· Annual improvements 2010-2012. These amendments include changes from the
2010-12 cycle of the annual improvements project, that affect several
standards: IFRS 2, "Share-based payment",
· IFRS 3, "Business Combinations", IFRS 8, "Operating segments", IFRS 13,
"Fair value measurement", IAS 16, "Property, plant and equipment", IAS 38,
"Intangible assets", IAS 37, "Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets", and IAS 39, "Financial instruments - Recognition and
measurement". The application of these amendments had no significant impact
for the Group.
· IAS 19 revised, "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions" -
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. The
application of this amendment had no impact for the Group.
Standards and amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective and
have not been early adopted by the Group:
The following new standards and amendments have been published but are not
effective for the Group's accounting period beginning on 1 April 2015. All
these standards and amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European
Union.
· "Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1)" - effective from 1 January
2016 to encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining the
information to disclose in their financial statements36;
· Amendments to IAS 16, "Property, plant and equipment" and IAS 38,
"Intangible assets" on depreciation and amortisation - effective from 1
January 2016. IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to
calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue
generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects
factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the
asset. The IASB has also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an
inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits
embodied in an intangible asset. However, past the headline is a rebuttable
presumption, and revenue-based amortisation is permitted when it can be
demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the
intangible asset are highly correlated;
· Amendment to IAS 27, "Separate financial statements", on equity method
on separate financial statements - effective from 1 January 2016;
· Amendment to IFRS 10, "Consolidated financial statements", IFRS 12
"Disclosure of interests in other entities" and IAS 28, "Associates and joint
ventures" on sale or contribution of assets and on investment entities
applying the consolidation exception - effective from 1 January 2016;
· Amendment to IFRS 11, "Joint arrangements" on acquisition of an interest
in a joint operation - effective from 1 January 2016;
· Annual improvements 2012-2014 - effective from 1 January 2016
· IFRS 9, "Financial instruments" - effective from 1 January 2018. The
IASB has published the complete version of IFRS 9 which replaces IAS 39. This
final version includes requirements on the classification and measurement of
financial assets and liabilities; it also includes an expected credit losses
model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used today and redefine
the guidance regarding the hedge accounting;
· IFRS 14, "Regulatory deferral accounts" - effective from 1 January
2016;
· IFRS 15, "Revenue from contracts with customers" applies to all
contracts with customers except those that are financial instruments, leases
or insurance contracts and introduces a five-step process that the Group will
have to follow. The new Standard goes beyond just "commercial effect", "fair
value" and "risk and rewards" and will also result in a significant increase
in the volume of disclosures related to revenue. IFRS 15 will be applicable
for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
2 Segmental information
IFRS 8 ("Operating segments") requires the Group's segments to be identified
on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance
and allocate resources across each reporting segment.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into two reportable segments,
being the UK retail segment and the German retail segment (since acquisition
of Jawoll on April 30 2014).
The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the executive
directors who monitor the operating results of the retail segments for the
purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance
assessment.
The Group's financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income
taxes are managed on a group basis, though the standard rate of tax has been
applied to the segmental results to aid comparison.

Adjusting items are exceptional and non-trading items considered by the
directors to not be incurred in the usual underlying running of the trade of
the Group. The directors consider the adjusted figures to be a more accurate
reflection of the underlying business performance of the Group and believe
that this measure provides additional useful information for investors on the
Group's performance, as well as being consistent with how business performance
is monitored internally.
Adjusting items include expenses relating to new acquisitions, special
projects and restructuring expenses (such as IPO, refinancing, maintaining
ownership structures), pre-opening new store costs, provisions for onerous
leases, regulatory investigations or fines, dilapidation provisions,
compulsory purchase order income, foreign exchange gains/(losses), fair value
gains/(losses) on derivatives, other comprehensive income items, unwinding
interest on items not directly related to the trade of the business,
impairment on non-financial assets, profit/(loss) on fixed assets disposal,
the expired management LTIP bonus scheme, and the estimated tax effect of
these items.
5 Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net
profit or loss for the financial period attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding at each period end.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net
profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion
of any dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The employee
share option scheme is considered to be dilutive.
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are calculated on the
same basis except using the adjusted profit or loss attributable to the
equity holders of the parent.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted
loss per share computations:

then adjusted for allowances and non-deductibles in line with the prior year.

On the acquisition of the SBR Europe group on 6 March 2013, the fixed assets
were restated such that their net book value equalled their cost. At 29 March
2014 an estimation technique was used to perform this task due to the number
of assets on the fixed asset register. At 28 March 2015 the values have been
calculated on an asset by asset basis leading to some adjustments between cost
and depreciation as shown in the table above. This has no impact on net book
value.

Financial Instruments at fair value through profit and loss
The put/call options over the non-controlling interest in Jawoll arose as part
of the acquisition of the entity in April 2014. The valuation here reflects
the final estimated valuation unwound to the period end date, and exchanged at
the period end foreign exchange rate, as the options are priced in Euros. The
options mature in 2019 and the carrying value has been discounted to present
value.
The other financial assets and liabilities through profit or loss reflect the
fair value of those foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps
and fuel swaps that are not designated as hedge relationships but are
nevertheless intended to reduce the level of risk for expected sales and
purchases.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair
value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
· Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities
· Level 2 : Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant
effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly
· Level 3 : Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on
the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data
As at the reporting dates, the Group held the following financial instruments
carried at fair value on the balance sheet:
Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Interest rate swaps 1,393 - 1,393 -
Put/call options on Jawoll non-controlling interest (13,141) - - (13,141)
The put/call option was valued with reference to the Sale and Purchase
Agreement underpinning the acquisition, and the key variable in determining
the fair value of the option, the forecast EBITDA of Jawoll as prepared by
management.
The other instruments have been valued by the issuing bank, using a mark to
market method. The bank has used various inputs to compute the valuations and
these include inter alia the relevant maturity date and strike rates, the
current exchange rate, fuel prices and LIBOR levels.
The Group's financial instruments are either carried at fair value or have a
carrying value which is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Independent Review Report to B&M European Value Retail S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of B&M
European Value Retail S.A. as at 26 September 2015, which comprises the
condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in
shareholders' equity and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory notes for the 26 week period then ended. The Board of
Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this
interim financial information in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standard as adopted by the European Union and with the Disclosure
and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,
''Interim Financial Reporting,'' as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial
information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity", as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Institut
des Réviseurs d'Entreprises". A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us
to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared,
in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial
Reporting" as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
