Chief Executive's Statement
As Chief Executive Officer, I am pleased to be delivering the non-statutory annual report for Film Finances, Inc. ("FFI") in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017. In May 2017 FFI Holdings PLC ("FFI Holdings") was incorporated as a holding company of Film Finances Inc. ahead of FFI Holdings' initial public offering and listing on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in June of this year.
FFI Holdings' IPO marked an important milestone for the Group. Founded in the UK over six decades ago in the formative years of the British film industry, listing in London saw FFI return to its UK roots and equip the Group for the considerable growth opportunities we see ahead of us.
Our public offering also served to draw attention to the important role the Group plays in the global entertainment production industry - a role hitherto not widely recognised. As the world-leader in the provision of completion contracts to the producers and financiers of films, television, mini-series and streaming product, FFI has played a pivotal role in unlocking finance for some of the best-known titles across film, TV and online media for over half a century. Having originally conceived the completion contract as a method of facilitating financing for the entertainment industry in the middle of the last century, FFI has gone on to grow this business globally and establish a dominant share of around 80% of the marketplace. This growth story was rooted in the UK before being commercialised in the US and is now taking its first steps into China, a market where we see tremendous growth opportunities over the longer-term.
Thanks to the efforts of its management team and its advisors, FFI's equity offering was highly successful, raising net proceeds for the company of GBP26.5m and providing capital for the next phase of our growth strategy. We have already delivered on one of our pledges to our new shareholders, successfully creating FFI Insurance Company; a captive insurance platform in Bermuda that will significantly reduce the costs of our core completion contracts business. In the meantime, we are continuing to pursue acquisition opportunities in ancillary services - a market which we view as ripe for consolidation and one where we have a natural advantage given the central role we play in the production cycle.
Financial Results of Film Finances, Inc.
Today Film Finances Inc., FFI Holdings' operating subsidiary, published its report and audited non-statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017. The principal tables and notes are set out at the end of this announcement and below is an extract from the director's report:
"The financial year to end-March 2017 saw continued growth across our business and a significant rise in year-on-year profits, helped by lower costs and other expenses. Revenues grew by 9.1% during the financial year to $38.8m (2016: $35.6m). Significantly lower costs resulted in Underlying EBIT of $12.7m, Reported EBIT of $10.5m and reported pre-tax profits of $10.3m, a more than three-fold increase on 2016 ($3.1m). Excluding a one-time profit on discontinued operations of $2.8m, net income after tax for the period of $5.5m was up 183.1% versus 2016 ($1.9m.)
One of the Group's subsidiaries, Cashet Card, was disposed of in November 2016. For comparative purposes, and in accordance with IFRS accounting principles, the Group's financial results for the financial year ended 31 March 2016 have been adjusted to present Cashet Card's contributions as if the operations had been discontinued for both financial years 2016 and 2017.
Continuing 31 March YoY change Margin (%) operations 2017 (%) (USD) ---------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Revenue 38,812,125 9.1 Gross profit 30,321,575 15.6 78.1 Underlying EBIT * 12,744,599 119.7 32.8 Reported EBIT ** 10,455,834 244.5 26.9 Pre-tax profit 10,295,939 232.4 26.5 After tax profit from continuing operations *** 5,777,498 204.1 14.9 Adjusted Net income*** 5,450,365 183.1 14.0

*** Adjusted to exclude one-time profit from discontinued operations of $2.8m
The majority of our revenues continued to be generated by FFI's completion contract business, where revenues grew 6.2% year-on-year. Pivotal Post contributed approximately one month's revenues from its acquisition date in February 2017). North America continued to dominate the geographical revenue mix of the business. No single customer contributed more than 10% of total revenues for the financial year."

FFI Holdings Trading Update
-- FFI's core Completion Contract business is trading well, with continued growth in the first half of FY2018.
-- The Group's editing equipment business Pivotal Post is delivering significant growth through the success of
cross-selling and introductions from FFI's core Completion Contract business.
-- The Company has signed a binding LOI with a company engaged in duplication, authoring and production consulting
for film and TV productions. The company is a Netflix preferred provider which greatly enhances FFI's growing
business related to streaming productions. The Company expects to complete this transaction before calendar year
end. In addition, the Company is pursuing a number of other significant acquisition opportunities, several of
which are also anticipated to complete before calendar year-end.
-- The Company successfully completed the creation of FFI Insurance, a Captive Insurer, offering the Company
significant cost savings going forward. Additionally, FFI entered into a new agreement with MS Amlin Underwriting
Limited ("Amlin"), a long-term insurance partner and shareholder of FFI, which has co-funded FFI Insurance and is
working with the company on operational implementation.
-- Principal photography of the IMAX panda movie is now complete and in editing.
-- The Company received its first Chinese Completion Contract quarterly payment of $1.25m in June with the next
quarterly payment expected to be received by the end of September per the contract terms. The PICC agreement was
signed in June and the Company is working with its Chinese counterparts towards writing its first insurance
business in China.
Outlook
As we approach the half-way point of our current financial year, we have continued to trade well and anticipate the balance of the year delivering results in line with the Board's expectations. We have recently completed the formation of our captive insurance entity and continue to pursue acquisitions in ancillary services in support of the growth ambitions we set out in the IPO process. We remain positive on the opportunities afforded by China over the long term, where our company is in the formative stage of what we are confident will be a successful growth story. We also continue to pursue opportunistically the acquisition of content, both in China and elsewhere, where this complements our commercial objectives and the interests of our shareholders.
In closing, I would like to thank the management and staff of FFI for their tireless efforts and achievements this year. The execution of our initial public offering was the most visible of these but it is the everyday dedication of our people that forms the bedrock of our business and our ability to deliver these results. As a Board, and alongside our new shareholders, we look forward to supporting their continued success in the coming year and beyond.

Completion contracts guarantee that a particular film will be completed within specific time and budget constraints. In such circumstances, the Group's completion contract acts as a form of guarantee for film production.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation
(a) Basis of preparation
The Group non-statutory financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs) and International Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations (collectively IFRSs) as adopted for use in the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The non-statutory financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies. The Group's principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.
The following Standards and Interpretations, relevant to the Group's operations that have not been applied in the financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective or endorsed (unless otherwise stated):
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
Another version of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' was issued in July 2014 and becomes effective from 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The key changes include a) impairment requirements for financial assets and b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a 'fair value through other comprehensive income' (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.
Based on the analysis of the Group's financial assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2017 on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the directors of the Company have assessed the impact of IFRS 9 to the Groups consolidated financial statements to be immaterial.
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' becomes effective from 1 January 2021. IFRS 17 replaces IFSR 4 'Insurance Contracts'.
The Group is currently in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 17 on the financial statements.
IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'
IFRS 15 'Revenue Recognition' becomes effective from 1 January 2018. Revenue arising from insurance contracts is outside the scope of IFRS 15. The impact on the recognition of revenue from other services delivered to customers by the Group is expected to be insignificant.
IFRS 16 'Leases'
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 'Leases' to replace the existing standard IAS 17, which will be effective from 1 January 2019 but with earlier adoption permitted.
The main change under IFRS 16 is that it requires the recognition of the lease obligations, together with an asset representing the right to the use of the leased asset during the term of the lease. Under IAS 17, for leases qualifying as operating leases, the lease obligations are not recognised in the statement of financial position.
The Group is currently in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 16 on the financial statements. The undiscounted value of the Group's operating lease obligations is disclosed in note 24.
Other Pronouncements
There are a number of amendments to IFRS that have been issued by the IASB that became mandatory during 2018 or in a subsequent accounting period. The Group has evaluated these changes and none are expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Going Concern
The Group has generated a profit before taxation on continuing activities as well as a profit after taxation for the comparative financial period. After reviewing the Group's performance and forecasted future cash flows, the Directors consider the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group's non-statutory financial statements.
(c) Basis of consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
(c) Basis of consolidation (continued)
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and included as part of the considerations transferred in the business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent considerations that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains are eliminated upon consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(d) Foreign currencies
US Dollar (USD) is the functional currency of the Company and the presentational currency of the Group. The functional currency of the subsidiaries is the local currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation to the rate prevailing at the year end are recognised in the income statement.
The financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is different to the presentational currency of the Group are translated into the presentational currency of the Group on consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising on consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
The gain or loss on a subsequent disposal of any foreign operation shall exclude translation difference that arose before the date of transition to IFRSs and shall include later translation differences.
(e) Investment in joint venture
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exist only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that joint venture, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses.
An investment in a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes a joint venture.
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group's investment in a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale.
(f) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
(f) Non-current assets held for sale (continued)
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment in a joint venture, the investment that will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, and the Group discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the portion that is classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(g) Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from services, provided by the Group in the ordinary course of the Group's activities:
Completion Contracts
Services include fees from completion bond contracts. These bond contracts provide a completion guarantee to financiers for the completion and delivery of a film or other production. The Group must monitor each production through each stage of completion and the Group has the ability to take over production if budgets and schedules are not properly adhered to. As such, revenue is recognised rateably over the separate production stages of each project.
Editing Equipment Leasing
Revenue from film editing equipment and editing suite rentals are structured as weekly rentals and the related revenue is recognised on a weekly basis during the rental period, using the accrual method of accounting. Rental revenue is derived from different clients each year, with the majority of revenue being earned from rentals for feature film clients and the minority coming from television clients.
Tax Credit Financing
Revenue from tax credit financing activities is recognised as the excess tax credits received after repayment of borrowings and company advances, if any.
Credit Card Fees
Revenue from fees earned on credit card spending is recognised as it is earned. The fee amounts are based on the amount of spending on each credit card.
(h) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of consideration over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement and cannot subsequently be reversed.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units ("CGUs"). The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
The carrying value of goodwill for each CGU is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds it recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use.
(i) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Identified intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are customer relationships, trade names, and non-competition agreements. These intangible assets have a finite useful economic life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the asset. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Customer Relationships 12 - 15 years Trade Names 5 years Non-competition Agreements 6 years
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination that have suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses are recognised in the income statements.
Intangible assets include acquired film distribution rights. These intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recorded in line with actual revenue recognized in the period over the total projected revenue. Impairment losses are recorded in the event that the present value of future proceeds is less than the carrying cost. As at 31 March 2017, the Group has one acquired film distribution rights deal with an expected life of 12 months beginning from September 2017.
Intangible assets include capitalised film production costs. The group is currently producing a documentary film slated for distribution in late 2017. All film costs are capitalised and included within intangible assets. The balance is amortised in line with actual revenue recognised in the period over total projected revenue. The film is projected to have a life of approximately 10 years. Impairment losses are recorded in the event that the present value of future proceeds is less than the carrying cost. No revenues have been recognised in the current year.
(j) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Editing Equipment 5 years Fixtures and Fittings 5 - 7 years Leasehold Improvements 5 - 15 years
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Any property, plant and equipment that has suffered an impairment is reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(k) Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Group as a lessor
Rental income from short-term operating leases relating to the rental of editing equipment is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(l) Current and deferred taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It established provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The Group recognises deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognised in the Group's financial statements, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The carrying value of the amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part, of the tax asset to be utilised.
(m) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs. Arrangement and facility fees are capitalised with the borrowings and amortised over the life of the arrangement.
(n) Employee benefits
The Group sponsors a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. All US resident employees are eligible to participate in the plan after reaching the age of 21 and completing six months of service with the Group. Employees may defer compensation up to the limits prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for an employer matching contribution of 100 percent for the first 3 percent of the employee's salary.
The Group also pays for certain health and pension benefits for its employees in the UK, China, Sweden and Canada.
(o) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group's balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measures at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial asset and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(p) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset and its sale is highly probable.
(p) Non-current assets held for sale (continued)
Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(q) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss' (FVTPL), 'held to maturity' investments, 'available for sale' (AFS) financial assets, and 'loans and receivables.' The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums and discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including accounts and other receivables, bank balances and cash are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For available for sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assets not to be impaired individually.
(r) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(s) Accounts and other receivables
Trade receivables
The Group records as accounts receivable amounts primarily related to the outstanding fees on the short-term leases of editing equipment. The Group also records accounts receivable amounts related to completion contract fees not yet received as of the consolidated balance sheet date and receivables related to future tax credits on productions. These tax credits are usually collateral on loans that are used to provide financing to productions.
Advances
The Group records as advances amounts paid to productions to fund certain costs incurred to complete and deliver the particular film when the amounts paid are recoverable from existing sources of production funding.
Insurance receivable
The Group records an insurance receivable related to losses incurred on completion contract in excess of $500,000, the Group's deductible amount. The Group provides periodic updates on the latest claims positions to the insurers. Any claims in excess of $500,000 are reimbursed by the insurer in accordance with the insurance policies.
Rebate receivable
Potential rebates consist of profit commissions in the form of cash due from underwriters as well as the release of insurance premiums held in escrow. Rebates are accrued throughout the year based on the difference between the provisional insurance premium and the final premium plus any claims incurred in excess of $500,000. The insurance company calculates rebates annually, no later than 15 months following the expiration of the policy period. Rebates are recorded as a reduction to the insurance expense.
(t) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into know amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(u) Restricted cash
The Group, acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of certain financiers of films, receives cash that is restricted in use for the production of films. The Group is required to fund the production of the related films according to the production funding agreement. The Group records this cash received as restricted cash, with a corresponding payable to productions.
Restricted cash also includes insurance premiums held in escrow in connection with rebate conditions of the Group's insurance policy and amounts used to collateralise one of the Group's credit facilities. The escrow funds will be released with the annual insurance rebate in the event that actual claims experience is less than certain stipulated levels.
(v) Accounts and other payables
Accounts payable and accruals
The Group's liabilities include trade and other payables. Liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
No claim bonuses payable
Certain completion contracts written by the Group provide for the return of a portion of the bond fee in the event that no claims are made against the contract. A liability is accrued for a no-claim bonus when the completion contract is consummated and paid upon the determination that no claims will be made on a specific contract. If a claim is made, any no-claim bonus liability is recognised as income.
Insurance payable
Completion contracts written by the Group are insured through a syndicate led by Lloyds, a UK based specialist insurance market. Film projects are insured on a title-by-title basis, for which the Group is assessed premiums based upon a sliding scale subject to certain deductibles and stop-loss provisions. Insurance premiums are due 45 days following the end of a month in which a completion contract is executed. The Group's facultative insurance policy has been historically renewed on an annual basis. Neither the Group nor the insurers are under obligation to renew the policies at their annual policy renewal date. If such policies were not renewed and a new insurance company was not secured, the impact might be significant to the operation of the Group.
The Group has used the same insurance provider for many years and has not had an issue renewing the policy. The Group has renewed the policy through 30 September 2017 and has recently effected revised insurance arrangements.
(w) Prepaid expenses
Included in prepaid expenses are prepaid Insurance costs. Insurance costs related to each project are deferred and recognised over the period of the contract. These costs are released in line with the recognition of revenue.
(x) Provision for losses
In accordance with any completion contract entered into, the Group may incur costs to complete and deliver a particular film in the event a counter party to the completion agreement fails to do so. All completion contracts are insured with a maximum deductible of $500,000 for each claim incurred on insured completion contracts, however the insurance policies also allow the insurer to claw back a portion of claims paid in excess of $500,000 against certain layers of insurance rebates due to the Group. The Group may receive recoveries of losses from the exploitation of the film subject to the completion bond contract. Such recoveries are recognised as a reduction of costs related to revenue when received.
In connection with this reserve, management performs an evaluation of periodic production accounting reports, visitation during various stages of production, and communication with various personnel associated with the production of the film.
(y) Areas of significant management judgment
The following are significant management judgments made in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the historical financial information.
Recognition of revenues from completion contracts
The Group takes on risk as soon as the contract is executed, and the incurred risk follows production spending throughout the stages of the project. Determining when to recognise revenues from these completion contracts in line with the risk incurred requires an understanding of the budget, contracts, historical experience, and knowledge of the industry.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the Group's future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgment is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.
Classification of EP Financial Solutions as a joint venture
EP Financial Solutions is a limited liability company whose legal form confers separation between the parties to the joint arrangement and the company itself. Furthermore, there is no contractual arrangement or any other facts and circumstances that indicate that the parties to the joint arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement. Accordingly, EP Financial Solutions was classified as a joint venture of the Group. In the current year the investment is classified as held for sale. See note 16 for details.
Insurance Rebates
The Group is entitled to insurance rebates if the actual claims are less than certain stipulated levels within the insurance policy. The insurance company calculates rebates 15 months following the expiration of the policy period. The Group must then calculate the insurance rebate to be received each period based on the actual claims for each contract and the stipulated levels within the insurance contract.
Provision for losses
The Group will calculate a provision for losses as soon as the loss is probable and estimable.
Control over Panda Productions, LLC
Note 15 describes that Panda Productions, LLC is a subsidiary of the Group even though the Group has nil ownership interest in Panda Productions, LLC. Panda Productions, LLC is an investment that was entered into by key management personnel. The key management personnel own 50% of the investment and has direct control over its dealings. The key management personnel have assigned all Panda Productions, LLC proceeds to the Group.
The Directors of the Group assessed whether or not the Group has control over Panda Productions, LLC based on whether the Group has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of Panda Productions, LLC unilaterally. In making their judgement, the directors considered the Group's absolute holdings in Panda Productions, LLC and the relative size of the dispersion of the shareholdings owned by the other investor. After assessment, the directors concluded that the Group has sufficiently dominant voting interest to direct the relevant activities of Panda Productions, LLC and therefore the Group has control over Panda Productions, LLC. If the directors had concluded that the Group did not have control, Panda Productions, LLC would instead have been classified as an associate and the Group would have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting.
Control over DSK Ventures Limited
Note 15 describes that DSK Ventures Limited is a subsidiary of the Group even though the Group has nil ownership interest in DKS Ventures Limited. DSK Ventures Limited provides tax credit financing deals. There is an agreement in place between DSK Ventures Limited and KSD Holdings LLC that assigns all profits from DSK Ventures Limited to KSD Holdings LLC. The tax credit financing deals are actively managed by DSK Ventures Limited and the Group.
The Directors of the Group assessed whether or not the Group has control over DSK Ventures Limited based on whether the Group has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of DSK Ventures Limited unilaterally. In making their judgement, the directors considered the Group's absolute holdings in DSK Ventures Limited and the overall dispersion of the profits. After assessment, the directors concluded that the Group has sufficiently dominant voting interest to direct the relevant activities of DSK Ventures Limited and therefore the Group has control over DSK Ventures Limited. If the directors had concluded that the Group did not have control, DSK Ventures Limited would instead have been classified as an associate and the Group would have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting.
Fair value of shares received on Realta Production Group, Inc. disposal
In consideration for its disposal of Realta Production Group, Inc. the Group received 542 shares in the Company. The fair value of these shares of $2,810,564 was determined with reference to a comparable market transaction which occurred at the same time and the directors consider this an appropriate basis.
(z) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Revenue recognition
In order to recognise revenue within the time period of each stage of the contract, the Group utilises a ratio equal to the actual days incurred over the budgeted number of days within each stage multiplied by the percentage of the bonded budget allocated to the stage. Determining what percentage of revenue should be recognised at the different stages of each contract requires an estimation of the breakdown of the bonded budget expenditures over the contractually covered stages of each contract.
Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. No impairment losses have been recognised to date.
Valuation of intangible assets
To determine the fair value of acquisition related intangible assets valuation techniques were adopted. These techniques use a variety of estimates, including expected future results and projected future cash flows, which are discounted using appropriate discount rates.
Useful lives of assets
The expected lives of intangible assets are estimated based on operational experience and the expectations that the customer relationships, trade names, and non-competition agreements will continue to provide additional synergies to the Group. Should any circumstances arise that would shorten the overall life, the carrying value of the asset may require adjustment.
Provision for losses
Reserves for losses represent management's estimate of the amount of expected costs associated with the completion of films, which includes the estimated deductible for claims on insured contracts. The resulting reserve for losses liability is periodically reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in earnings at that time.
Rebate receivable
The expected rebate receivable is estimated based on management experience and historical evidence.
Deferred tax
The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgment about future events. New information may become available that caused the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities, such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such determination is made.
Carrying amount of assets and liabilities
The Group believes the overall carrying amounts of those assets and liabilities where there is estimation or uncertainty are properly stated. In particular, the provision for losses and the contingent consideration recognised as part of the business combination. See note 23 for more information on provision for losses. See note 30 for more information on the contingent consideration.
3. Segmental Information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into four operation segments; FFI, Cashet Card (now discontinued), KSD Holdings, and Rainbow Production Services. These segments are the basis on which the Group reports internally to the Directors, who have been identified as the chief operating decision makers.
Revenue and costs not included in one of these operating segments, for example central overheads, have not been allocated to an operating segment in line with the way they are reported to the chief operating decision makers.
The principal activities of the operating segments are as follows:
FFI: Completion Contracts
The main segment of the Group is to provide completion contracts to financial lenders and distributors in connection with the production of motion pictures films and television content.
Cashet Card: Credit Card Fees
Cashet Card facilitates the issuance of credit cards sponsored by MasterCard. Cashet Card is able to offer bulk purchasing discounts and earns fees on the transactions. Cashet Card was owned by Realta Production Group, Inc. which was disposed of on 11 November 2016. The operating profits for the year have been included as discontinued operations. See note 31.
KSD Holdings: Tax Credit Financing
KSD Holdings provides tax credit financing in the entertainment industry.
Rainbow Production Services: Editing Equipment Leasing
Rainbow Production Services provides film editing equipment and editing suite rentals. The Rainbow Production Services, LLC group was acquired on 28 February 2017. See note 30.

The Group files state income tax returns in various states, which may have different statutes of limitations. Generally, state income tax returns for the years ended 31 March 2014 through present are subject to examination. The Group also files tax returns in foreign jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and Canada. The periods open to general examination for the United Kingdom are the years ended 31 March 2016 through present. The federal tax return for the year ended 31 March 2016 is currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As of the date of this report, the IRS has not proposed any adjustment.
U.S. and foreign withholding taxes have not yet been recognised on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. Determination of the amount of any unrecognised deferred income tax liability on the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries, if any, has not been made. In the even that foreign earnings are to be remitted, the additional U.S. income tax expense would be immaterial.
Factors that may affect the Group's future tax charge include the impact of corporate restructuring, the resolution of open tax issues, future planning opportunities, corporate acquisitions and disposals, the use of roll forward tax losses and changes in tax legislation and tax rates.
7. Taxation (continued)
At 31 March 2017, the Group has a state net operating loss carry forward of $1,000.
In June 2015 the Group reached a settlement with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) resolving all issues that arose in the 2012 routine audit. This settlement had no significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

from business combinations

(Note 30)
Balance at end of year 9,871,423 8,540,934
------------------------------ ----------- -----------
Goodwill represents the excess consideration over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to CGU's for impairment testing. The goodwill balance was allocated to the following CGU's:
2017 2016
USD USD
------------------------------- ----------- -----------
Film Finances, Inc. 8,540,934 8,540,934
Rainbow Productions Services, 1,330,489 -
LLC
Total 9,871,423 8,540,934
------------------------------- ----------- -----------
The recoverable amount for each CGU is determined using a value in use calculation. This calculation uses pre-tax cash flow projections derived from 2018 budgets, as approved by the Directors, with an underlying growth rate of 2% per annum in years 2 to 5. After year 5 a terminal value has been applied using an underlying long-term growth rate of 2%. No additional specific growth has been assumed beyond year 1. The pre-tax cash flows are discounted to present value using the Group's pre-tax weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), which was 14%. This rate was calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with an estimated cost of debt and equity, with appropriate small company risk factors.
The value-in-use exceeds the total goodwill value across the Group. The impairment review of the Group is sensitive to changes in the key assumptions, most notably the pre-tax discount rate, the terminal growth rate and the projected operating cash flows. Reasonable changes to these assumptions are considered to be:
-- 1.0% increase in the pre-tax discount rate. -- 1.0% decrease in the terminal growth rate. -- 10.0% decrease in projected operating cash flows.
Reasonable changes to the assumptions used, considered in isolation, would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

22. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables principally comprise of amounts outstanding for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Accounts payable are non-interest bearing and are initially measured at fair value and thereafter at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Deferred revenues arise when the Group enters into a completion contract. Consideration received is initially deferred and recognised in line with the revenue recognition policy.

The provision for losses is in relation to amounts payable for the completion of certain films, which includes the estimated deductible for claims on insured contracts. Provisions for losses are provided for on a by project basis when losses are probable and quantifiable up to the deductible amount of $500,000. Claim payments are typically made directly to production depending on their funding needs. Any claims payments in excess of the deductible are reimbursed by the insurers. Recoveries, if any, are recorded as a reduction to claim payments.
24. Operating lease commitments
Operating leases relate to leases of land with lease terms of between 4 and 10 years. The Group does not have an option to purchase the leased land at the expiry of the lease periods. The Group had commitments under non-cancellable operating leases expiring as follows:

--------------------------- ------------ -----------
25. Capital commitments
The Group has no material capital commitments as at 31 March 2017 and 2016.
26. Contingent liabilities
The Company issues Completion Bonds. The Company mitigates the risk in relation to these agreements by making payments to certain third parties in the event a project is not delivered within a time frame and budget range set forth under the terms of the specific agreement. The Company utilises one or more insurance companies to cover the majority (the Group is self insured for a portion) of its liability with respect to each such budget overruns. No liability is recorded with respect to the Completion Bond obligation to the third parties until there is evidence that is it incurred and a loss will result. The Company does record the costs associated with the insurance purchased to cover its risk and the budget overruns related to each such Completion Bond.
On 11 November 2016, the group was a party to a contract to facilitate a transaction between certain shareholders who wished to sell their shares and a buyer who wished to purchase them. Under this agreement between the group, the selling shareholders, the continuing shareholders and the buyer, contingent earn out consideration is payable by the buyer to selling shareholders. The earn out payment is calculated based on projected bond fees in 2017 and 2018 meeting certain thresholds, less an allowance for claims. While the earn out payment is payable by the buyer and not the group, the group has provided a guarantee to the selling shareholders on the full and punctual payment of the earn out payments by the buyer. As at 31 March 2017, the group estimates the aggregate earn out payment, and consequently the total quantum of the sum guaranteed to total approximately $2,645,000.

Risk Management objectives and policies
The main risk arising from the Group's financial instruments are insurance contract risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign exchange risk.
Insurance Contracts
The Group works primarily with clients that have a longstanding relationship with the Group. These clients typically have vast experience in film production and work with producers, directors and line-producers who the Group's employees are familiar with. With each project, both our legal and production staff will need to evaluate, among other things, the reasonableness of the budget, the key individuals and parties involved and other risks based on, but not limited to, the genre, location and the need for any special visual or audio effects.
Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating and fixed interest rates. Interest on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument. Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is re-priced at intervals of less than one year. Floating rate financial instruments comprise of the Group's cash and equivalents and borrowings. Fixed rate financial instruments comprise of borrowings. The other financial instruments of the Group are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest-rate risk.
Based on current levels of net debt, interest rate risk is not considered to be material.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates in a number of markets across the world and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures in respect of revenues, assets, liabilities, and cash flows. The Group minimises foreign currency risk by requiring overseas customer to adhere to strict payment terms. The risk is also mitigated by paying insurance premiums in USD based on the transaction rate of foreign currencies.
The Group has foreign subsidiaries located in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Canada. Differences that arise from the translation of these assets from foreign currency to USD are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year and the cumulative effect as a separate component in equity. The Group does not hedge this translation exposure to its equity.
The Group took out a loan in September 2015 through its variable interest entity, DSK Ventures Limited, to fund against a future tax credit receivable for a UK production. The loan was renewed in September 2016. The production's expenditures are expected to quality for a tax credit that will be in excess of the loan. The loan is denominated in GBP and has an offsetting tax credit receivable also denominated in GBP. Both balances are translated at the spot rate at the balance sheet date.
29. Financial Instruments (continued)
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

The Group is mainly exposed to the currency of the United Kingdom (GBP), Malaysia (MYR), China (CNY) and Canada (CAD).
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the USD to the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjust their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender of the borrower. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the USD strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the USD against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Liquidity Risk
The Group aims to mitigate its liquidity risk by managing its cash resources and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group has a term loan agreement secured by a tax credit receivable, which expires 30 September 2017. The outstanding balance at 31 March 2017 is $4,173,954 (2016: $4,405,371). The Group has a $1,000,000 promissory note in connection to the acquisition of film distribution rights outstanding, which is due on demand. The Group has an $804,497 promissory note due to an employee outstanding with a related party that matures on 25 January 2020. Monthly payments of $20,000 began January 2017. The note was entered into on 28 February 2017 and is due in full on 25 January 2020. The note bears interest at 6% per annum and has monthly payments on $20,000. The outstanding balance at 31 March 2017 was $787,842.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities at 31 March 2017 and 2016 based on contractual undiscounted payments, including estimated interest payments where applicable.

----------------------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------
Credit risk
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because funds are deposited over a number of counterparties who are banks with a mix of high quality balance sheets, high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies or strong governmental support. The Group maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of insured limits. The Group has not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group's financial instruments are principally compromised of cash, investments, and bank loans. Fair value items, when calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates, result in no differences between the carrying amount and fair value. The carrying amounts of all other financial instruments of the Group, i.e. short-term trade receivables and payables are a reasonable approximation of fair value. The carrying amount recorded in the balance sheet of each financial asset represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
Capital management
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains access to sufficient capital to continue to grow its business. The Group's capital comprises share capital and retained earnings. See note 32.
30. Business Combination
On 28 February 2017, the Group purchased the entire share capital of Rainbow Production Services, LLC and Subsidiaries (RPS), a limited liability company incorporate in the State of Delaware. RPS provides film editing and production equipment on a rental basis. RPS was acquired to expand the Group's activities within the film industry.
Consideration
Total
USD
-------------------------------------- -----------
Cash 4,000,000
Contingent consideration arrangement 2,200,000
Total consideration transferred 6,200,000
-------------------------------------- -----------
Under the contingent consideration arrangement, the Group is required to pay the former owner of RPS an additional $400,000 plus 30% of the EBITDA in excess of the specified EBITDA target (which excess amount shall not exceed $2,000,000 per year) in each of the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, provided RPS reaches the fiscal year EBITDA target for the applicable year. The target EBITDA for each of the following four years is as follows; 2017: $2,500,000, 2018: $2,600,000, 2019: $2,700,000, and 2020: $2,800,000. RPS's EBIDTA for the past two years as been approximately $600,000 on average. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Group could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $nil and $4,000,000.
The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $2,200,000 was estimated by applying the income approach. The fair value estimates are based on an assumed discount rate range of 1.4 - 2.7 per cent and assumed probability-adjusted EBITDA in RPS of $2,500,000 - $3,300,000 for each of the next four years.
Acquisition related costs amounting to $19,236 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the current year, within the administrative expense line item.

The receivables acquired (which principally comprise trade receivables) in these transactions have a fair value equal to the contractual amount. There are no contractual cash flows that are not expected to be collected as of the acquisition date.
The goodwill of $1,330,489 arising from the acquisition of RPS consists largely of the of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of RPS. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.
30. Business Combination (continued)
Included in the profit for the year is $272,548 attributable to the additional business generated by RPS and revenue for the year includes $931,397. Had this business combination been effected as 1 April 2016, the revenue of the Group from continuing operations would have been $49,362,504, and the profit for the year from continuing operations would have been $7,273,634. The directors consider these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.
31. Discontinued Operations
On 11 November 2016, the Group disposed of Realta Production Group, Inc., which owned 50% of Cashet Card, LLC. Cashet Card facilitates the issuance of credit cards sponsored by MasterCard and is able to offer bulk purchasing discounts and earns fees on the transactions. The transaction was carried out with one of the Directors of the Group. The consideration was a transfer of the Director's shares, 542 shares of common stock, in the Group for the 1,500 shares, 100% of the then-issues and outstanding shares of common stock, of Realta Production Group, Inc. The fair value of the 542 shares received was $2,810,569 which has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the profit from discontinued operations. These shares were subsequently cancelled.
Simultaneously with the agreement, the Director sold his remaining shares, 3,274 shares of common stock, to unrelated third parties.
Costs in relation to this transaction total $1,579,306 and have been disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income separately as exceptional costs.
