Financial expenses 
 
Financial expenses comprise of interest payable on bank loans, hire purchase
liabilities and other financial costs and charges. Interest payable is
recognised on an accrual basis. 
 
(p)   Ordinary share capital 
 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the
increase of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the
proceeds. 
 
(q)   Dividend policy 
 
In accordance with IAS 10 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date', dividends
declared after the balance sheet date are not recognised as a liability at
that balance sheet date, and are recognised in the financial statements when
they have received approval by shareholders. Unpaid dividends that are not
approved are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 
 
(r)    Commercial discount policy 
 
Commercial discounts represent a reduction in cost of goods and services in
accordance with negotiated supplier contracts, the majority of which are based
on purchase volumes. Commercial discounts are recognised in the period in
which they are earned and to the extent that any variable targets have been
achieved in that financial period. Costs associated with commercial discounts
are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. 
 
(s)   Operating segments 
 
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business
activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including
revenue and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same
entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's Chief
Operating Decision Maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to
the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial
information is available. The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been
identified as the Board of Executive Directors, at which level strategic
decisions are made.

The company had 5,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 each and 5,000 B ordinary
shares of £0.01 each in issue as 31 December 2015. In June 2016, the 5,000 B

The loss per share for the comparative year ended 31 December 2015 has been
calculated on a comparable basis using the same average weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue as if the shares had been in issue during
that period. 
 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
and 'in the money' share options in issue. Share options are classified as 'in
the money' if their exercise price is lower than the average share price for
the period. As required by IAS 33, this calculation assumes that the proceeds
receivable from the exercise of 'in the money' options would be used to
purchase shares in the open market in order to reduce the number of new shares
that would need to be issued.

Prior to the company's IPO, its Chief Executive, C Hanna, and its Creative and
Founding Director, A Kitous, were remunerated by way of dividends in lieu of
market rate salaries. Since the company's IPO, these directors have received
market rate salaries instead of such dividends.

Acquisition 
 
On 14 December 2016, the Group purchased the trade and assets, valued at
£400,000, of Agushia Limited, including the Yalla Yalla brand and four
restaurants trading under the brand as part of the group's strategic goal to
expand its network of restaurants in London and the rest of the United
Kingdom. The goodwill reported in the Balance Sheet arising on the acquisition
of this business amounts to £74,979 and represents the amounts paid in excess
of the fair value of the net assets acquired. 
 
Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortised but is subject to
an impairment review annually, or arising on acquisition is monitored and an
impairment test is carried out which compares the value in use to its carrying
value. The transaction has been treated as a business combination under IFRS 3
'Business Combinations'. Details of the identifiable assets and liabilities,
purchase consideration and goodwill are set out below:

The long term bank loans are secured by way of fixed charges over the assets
of various Group companies. Some of the bank loans are secured by a personal
guarantee given by A Kitous, director, amounting to £6,925,000 across all
loans. Bank loans of £1,990,527, represent amounts repayable within one year
of £610,120 and amounts totalling £1,380,407 which are repayable in more than
one year but less than five years. All loans have a five-year term with
maturity dates of between 2018 and 2020. All loans attract a rate of interest
of 3.25% over the Bank base rate. 
 
The liability in respect of the finance lease that was entered into in
November 2014 is £nil for the year ended 2016. The comparative relates to a
property held under finance least that has subsequently been purchased
outright, during the current year. Previously interest was charged at a rate
of 4% plus LIBOR. 
 
The entire hire purchase liability is due within one year.

Provisions for leasehold property dilapidation repairs are recognised when the
Group has a present obligation to carry out dilapidation repair work on the
leasehold premises before the property is vacated. The amount recognised as a
provision is the best estimate of the costs required to carry out the
dilapidations work and is spread over the expected period of the tenancy.

The company had 5,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 each and 5,000 B ordinary
shares of £0.01 each in issue as 31 December 2015. In June 2016, the 5,000 B
ordinary shares were re-designated as ordinary shares of £0.01 each and
79,990,000 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each were allotted and issued to the
existing shareholders as a bonus issue of shares. On 21 June 2016 the company
issued 16,000,000 new shares to the public as part of the IPO and admission of
the shares to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, raising £8 million
before costs of the share issue. 
 
21.          Other reserves 
 
The other reserves account in the balance sheet reflects the credit to equity
made in respect of the charge for share-based payments made through the income
statement and the purchase of shares in the market in order to satisfy the
vesting of existing and future share awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan.

A defined contribution scheme is operated for all qualifying employees. The
assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an
independently administered fund. 
 
23.          Share-based payments scheme 
 
Equity-settled share-based payments 
 
On 14 June 2016 the Company established an Enterprise Management Incentive
("EMI") share option scheme and on the same day granted 2,970,000 EMI share
options to certain key employees. The scheme enables all employees (as well as
Directors) to subscribe for ordinary shares in Comptoir Group PLC. The scheme
includes all subsidiary companies headed by Comptoir Group PLC. The exercise
price of all of the options is £0.50, the term to expiration is 10 years and
all of the options have the same vesting conditions attached to them. 
 
The total share-based payment charge for the year was £479,210 (2015: £Nil).
This is included within non-trading items on the face of the statement of
comprehensive income. 
 
On the same day, 14 June 2016, the Company also granted 1,440,000 unapproved
share options to family members of directors, in relation to their capacity as
shareholders investing in the company. The exercise price of these options is
£0.50, the term to expiration is 10 years and all of the unapproved options
have the same vesting conditions attached to them. 
 
If options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from the date of
grant, the options expire. Unvested options are forfeited if the employee
leaves the group before the options vest, vested options are forfeited if the
employee leaves the group before the options are exercised. 
 
On 21 June 2016, as a result of the company's IPO, all 2,970,000 of the EMI
options in issue vested, resulting in a charge to the income statement equal
to the fair value of the options on the date of grant. Since vesting and to
the date of approval of the financial statements none of the options had been
exercised and 200,000 options cancelled.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of
options granted under the group's share-based compensation plan. The range of
assumptions used and the resulting weighted average fair value of options
granted at the date of grant for the group were as follows: 
 
                                                                                                                                   Year ended 31 December 2016  Year ended 31 December 2015

Risk free interest rate 
 
The risk free interest rate is based on the UK 2-year Gilt yield. 
 
Expected term 
 
The expected term represents the maximum term that the group's share options
in relation to employees of the group are expected to be outstanding. The
expected term is based on expectations using information available. 
 
Estimated volatility 
 
The estimated volatility is the amount by which the price is expected to
fluctuate during the period. The standard deviation of share price
fluctuations of similar businesses was used to quantify the amount of
estimated dispersion as there has been less than 6 months of trade for the
group. 
 
Expected dividends 
 
Comptoir's board of directors may from time to time declare dividends on its
outstanding shares. Any determination to declare and pay dividends will be
made by Comptoir Group PLC's board of directors and will depend upon the
group's results, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, business
prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the
board of directors. In the event that a dividend is declared, there is no
assurance with respect to the amount, timing or frequency of any such
dividends. Based on this uncertainty and unknown frequency, for the year ended
31 December 2016 no dividend rate was used in the assumptions to calculate the
share based compensation expense.
