|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the |
balance sheet date. |
|
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from |
those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws |
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal |
of the timing difference. |
|
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they |
will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the |
balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling |
at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
|
Leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
|
The aggregate of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to the expense recognised over the term of the |
lease on a straight line basis. |
|
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension |
scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
|
Equity-settled share based payments |
The company's ultimate parent undertaking, Epic Games, Inc., maintains a Stock Incentive Plan which issues |
equity-settled share-based payments to key employees and directors. Equity-settled share-based payments are |
measured at fair value at the date of grant using the valuation commissioned from an independent external |
consultant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed |
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the company's estimate of the shares that will |
eventually vest, with a corresponding entry in the amounts owed by or to group undertakings. |

|
At 31 December 2017, the company had total commitments under non-cancellable operating leases of £867,806 |
(2016 - £279,509) |
|
12. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
|
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party |
transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
|
13. | POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS |
|
On 1 May 2018, the trade and assets of Cloudgine Limited, a 100% subsidiary, was hived up to Epic Games UK |
Ltd. This has no effect on the financial statements of Epic Games UK Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2017. |
|
14. | PARENT AND ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY |
|
The immediate parent company is Epic Games International S.a.r.l, a company incorporated in Luxembourg, |
registered office : 33 rue de Puits Romain, L-8070 Bertrange, Luxembourg. |
|
The ultimate parent company and controlling party is Epic Games Inc, a company incorporated in the United |
States of America. |
|
15. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS |
|
The company's ultimate US parent undertaking, Epic Games Inc., maintains a Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), |
which authorises the granting of incentive stock options to key employees and directors. |
|
Under the plan, the exercise price of each incentive stock option equals the fair market value of each share in |
Epic Games Inc. on the grant date. Options remain exercisable from the vesting date up until employment |
termination. Options are fully exercisable subject to conditions as established by the Stock Incentive Plan. |
|
The fair value of options granted on the date of grant, was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing |
model with weighted average assumptions applied at the group Stock Incentive Plan level. The fair value |
calculated is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the vesting period. The |
Black-Scholes option pricing model was selected as the method appropriate to use when the range of possible |
future outcomes is difficult to predict as it is a widely recognised method in these circumstances. |
|
The charge to the company of £nil (2016: £nil) made under the group Stock Incentive Plan was allocated based |
on the options granted to the company's employees. The total cost of these options is spread evenly over the |
vesting period from the date of grant. In the case of options granted in 2017, the grant date was sufficiently |
close to the year end to mean that any charge attributable to the year is negligible. |
|
There are 3 employees of Epic Games UK Ltd that benefit from the plan (2016 - 0). |
|
