Enterprise Structure

Process Summary
Megger Group exists as a UK registered legal entity with a number of subsidiaries within various jurisdictions around the world. Within the US, however, the legal identities of the individual companies are blurred, for whilst the factories operate independently the sales organisations and credit control operations act as if it were a single entity and do business as Megger (a formally recognised concept) presenting a single face to the outside world. This blurring of the legal organisation is carried over into the management structure, whereby Meggers core philosophy of Profit Centres both divides legal entities and cuts across them, with manufacturing and selling responsibilities split (resulting in trading between profit centres). In the UK however, the profit centre management structure has, to a large extent, been replicated in the legal entity structure with Megger Limited (sales company) and Megger Instruments Limited (manufacturing company). The change in legal structure was made in 2010 and differs from the single legal entity which existed in 2007 when SAP was first implemented. This will almost entirely eliminate the need for inter profit centre trading transactions, replaced by normal inter-company trading. There are a few minor exceptions, for example where the sales company sell to CSA/Iberia sales territory. Financial reporting to Meggers parent (TBG) is in US$ under IFRS, but Group accounts have to be filed in Sterling under UK GAAP. Additionally all local entities have to report in their own currencies under their own accounting conventions (and the UK operating company uses different UK GAAP principles to those employed by Megger Group Limited). From an operational point of view, although the SAP implementation will eventually be Group wide, it is intended that each operation can use the system to suite its local requirements and not have a Group wide detailed solution imposed upon them. This document details the organisational structure to be used in Meggers implementation.

Enterprise Structure

Key Master Data


The purpose of this PDD is to document the Enterprise Structure within SAP and Master Data is therefore not relevant (although all master data records will use elements from this structure).

SAP Process / Concept / Design


The Megger organisation has to be replicated within SAP by defining the Enterprise Structure the framework within which all the SAP process and reporting will take place. The definition of this structure is done as IMG configuration and master data maintenance by Megger IT staff, and has to enable financial reporting, operational control and localisation of procedures within a Group wide implementation. SAP has a number of organisational building blocks that create this environment. Operating Concern Controlling Area Company Credit Control Area Sales Organisation Distribution Channel Division Lab / Design Office Sales Area Sales Office Plant Purchasing Organisation Storage Location Shipping Point Transport Point Planning

This is illustrated graphically at Appendix 1 In addition to the Enterprise structure above, organisational elements used by SAP include Profit Centres, Functional Areas, and Cost Centres. This document has been extended to cover these additional organisational elements

Ledgers
SAP has the ability to maintain three parallel ledgers in which transactions are recorded (OL, Y1, and Y2). All sales, purchase, inventory etc transactions are

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres automatically posted to all three of these ledgers. However although Journal Entries would normally be posted to all three, they can be restricted to just one or two of them if required. This selective posting of journals can be used to create entries that reflect differing accounting principles and this functionality will therefore be used by Megger to maintain the accounting records in the required different GAAPs: OL (Leading Ledger) used for group reporting (IFRS) Ledger Y1 used for local GAAP Ledger Y2 used for Megger Group Limited UK GAAP
(note Megger Limited and Megger Instruments Limited use of UK GAAP differs from Megger Groups use)

Meggers initial proposal was to replicate the solution deployed in the Groups COGNOS consolidation system and use dummy companies / cost centres to create these differences (see Appendix 4), but changed to this solution because SAP recommend against creating additional companies because of the overhead involved. Despite this recommendation, Megger may revert to this initial dummy company / cost centre proposal because initial experience has shown that maintaining 3 ledgers in parallel is difficult.

Operating Concern
The operating concern exists as the environment for Profitability Analysis. Meggers group wide profitability requirements dictate that only a single Operating Concern is required, and as AIOSE comes pre-configured with one Operating Concern (1000), this will be utilised.

Controlling Area
The Controlling Area is the environment for management accounting and Profit Centres. Again, therefore, Meggers group wide profit centre and consolidation requirements dictate that only a single Controlling Area is required, and as AIOSE comes pre-configured with one Controlling Area (1000), this will be utilised.

Company
Companies represent individual legal entities for which full profit & loss and balance sheet reporting are required and are therefore normally used to represent each of the lowest level of legal entities within the organisation. The Company numbering convention Megger will use within SAP will be 1000 to 1999 for UK companies 2000 to 4999 spare (for overseas acquisitions) 5000 to 5999 for US companies 6000 to 6999 for European companies 7000 to 8999 for Sales & Distribution companies, with 2nd digit denoting country 9000 to 9999 spare

Primary Manufacturing & Sales Operations


UK
AOISE comes with three pre-configured UK companies - numbers 1000, 1100 (both with logistics) and 1200 (purely financial). This will be modified so that all UK companies are configured with logistics. Megger Instruments Limited is a full manufacturing, with intercompany sales only to other Megger companies - company 1000 to be used. Prior to May 2010, Megger Instruments Limited was known as Megger Limited. Megger Group Limited although essentially a holding company, does have purchasing and sales (all be it very limited) company 1100 to be used

Megger Group Ltd

Page 6 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres Megger Limited is a sales company with purchasing and finance company 1200 to be used. Prior to May 2010, Megger Limited was known as AVO Limited.

USA
The US operations largely Do Business As Megger and act as a single entity as far as customers and suppliers are concerned with a single Accounts Receivable and a single Accounts Payable covering all operating companies, and also share common sales tax, federal tax, prepayments, etc. SAP Companies cannot replicate this mixed situation and as this organisation structure is a necessary part of the Groups operations. This is replicated in SAP as 2 companies 1 for sales functions and 1 for manufacturing operations. In addition, the US operations are responsible for the sale of Dover manufactured product and non-Megger Product into the USA, Latin America and North Asia Historically the sales into the US have been part of the James G Biddle (Valley Forge) operation, whilst the sales into Latin America and North Asia have been part of the Multi-Amp (Bronze Way, Dallas) operation (although this distinction has become more blurred in recent times). More recently the sales of Taby products into the USA have become the responsibility of the Multi-Amp (Bronze Way, Dallas) operation. From a management perspective it is desirable to segregate resale operations from manufacturing operations and traditionally this was achieved by using separate organisations within the PRMS system. However, SAPs reporting flexibility can provide this separation without the need to expand the organisation structure, and so these operations will be part of the Bronze Way and Valley Forge plants. The local currency is US Dollars (USD).

SWEDEN
Megger Sweden AB was acquired by Megger on 4th June 2007 and was immediately transitioned onto SAP (having been operating with an integrated ORACLE implementation within GE). The company is a full design, manufacturing service/repair and sales facility, and as such will be set up as company 6000. Commissions are paid by Sweden to Germany and Switzerland for sales made directly from Sweden into these areas. The local currency is Swedish Kroner (SEK).

Sales & Distribution Companies


INDIA
Megger India Private Limited exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8600 will therefore be used for Megger India Private Limited. The local currency is Indian Rupees (INR).

FRANCE
Megger SARL exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8300 will therefore be used for Megger SARL. The local currency will be Euros.

Megger Group Ltd

Page 7 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres There are however 2 requirements that need to be addressed over and above this simple one company solution French legal requirements Under the French legal/tax framework all accounting entries must go against the year to which they relate prior year adjustments are not allowed. From Meggers perspective in reporting to TBG, the accounts for any year are finalised and closed before the end of December and except under special circumstances posting to that year are not allowed after the end of December any such entries are posted to the P&L in the subsequent year. The solution to this problem, had initially been the use of dummy companies, but in accordance with SAP policy, this was changed, and parallel ledgers will be used in stead, with the prior year adjustments Only being posted to ledger Y1 in the old year Being posted to ledgers OL and Y2 in the new year.

AUSTRALIA
Megger PTY Limited exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8500 will therefore be used for Megger PTY Limited. The local currency is Australian Dollars (AUD).

CANADA
Megger Limited exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8100 will therefore be used for Megger Limited. The local currency is Canadian Dollars (CAD).

GERMANY
Megger GmbH exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8700 will therefore be used for Megger GmbH. The local currency is Euros (EUR).

SWITZERLAND
Megger AG exists as a legal entity and essentially is compatible with an SAP Company. To allow for future expansion and not utilise leading numbers to denote every company, a leading 8 in the company number will be used for Sales and Distribution companies with the second digit denoting the country. 8900 will therefore be used for Megger AG. The local currency is Swiss Francs (CHF).

Inter Company Eliminations


US$ Eliminations

Megger Group Ltd

Page 8 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres Over and above the minor inter-company issues outlined for the Sales & Distribution companies, there is a significant volume of inter company trading of product within Megger, (the SAP inter-company facility is to be used for this). When consolidating the Group results these inter company sales and purchases must be eliminated. The original proposal was to achieve this by use of a dummy company (9000 9900 range to be utilised). Instead however it has been proposed that the SAP inter company elimination facility be used. This solution has yet to be piloted and so the decision on the best solution remains outstanding. Sterling Eliminations Within the UK accounts there are a number of investment items and acquisition valuation adjustments that need to be eliminated on consolidation (share capital of the individual entities, holding company investments in subsidiaries etc.). Again the dummy company solution was the initial proposal but a final decision on this has still to be made
(Note: a similar situation now also exist within Megger Sweden AB with the ownership of the share capital of Megger AG)

Planning Adjustments
During the planning process it is normal for the individual profit centre managers to produce plans that when consolidated together create a more optimistic plan than the Megger Group Boards top down view supports. This situation is resolved by maintaining the individual Profit Centre plans and creating an offsetting contingency / reserve. In COGNOS these plan reserves are held centrally in a dummy company - final SAP solution to be determined

Credit Control Area


Credit control is organised at the company level, with the India, France, Germany, Canada, Australia and Switzerland each providing their own credit control function, whilst there is a single credit control in the US and UK. There are very few occasions where a customer is invoiced by more than one Megger entity (taking the US as a single entity) so the need for Group wide control is limited and is currently handled manually. It is therefore logical to have one credit control area for each country, using that countrys currency, with the number used for each Credit Control Area corresponding to the associated Company code.

Sales Organisation

The SAP Sales Organisation represents the selling unit as a legal entity - each business transaction is carried out within a Sales Organisation. One sales organisation can therefore only be associated with one company (although one company can have many Sales Organisations. Additional flexibility is then provided by sub-dividing the sales organisation into several Distribution Channels (routes to market) and Divisions (product groupings). Each combination of these three organisational units is a Sales Area. As with Credit Control Area, commercial (as opposed to sales) functions within Megger are country based and a single Sales Organisation per SAP legal entity is appropriate.

Distribution Channel
The Distribution Channel within SAP is designed to represent the channel through which saleable materials or services reach customers. It also provides the ability to apply different prices, rebates, minimum quantities, delivering plant etc to the same customer.

Megger Group Ltd

Page 9 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres At the initial enterprise workshop it was agreed to use a traditional SAP type analysis of Direct, Distribution, and Other (including internet). However, following many discussions on the automation of Profit Centre transactions and the volume of master data maintenance that would be involved in some solutions, it was agreed that Distribution Channel would be used to distinguish between sales to third parties and sales to other Megger entities (both true inter-company transactions and profit centre transfers generated by the customer iBlock on profit centres). To provide full flexibility and ease of reporting and profit centre definition, each SAP company will have its own trade sales distribution Channel and its own inter-company / inter-profit centre distribution channel. This solution is only possible because, for Profit Centre identification purposes, it can be used in conjunction with both Sales Office (Sales Office had previously been designated for territory identification, but a better solution was found for this) and Division (Division had been designated to identify products, accessories instruments etc. but this was because it was available and an alternative solution in product grouping will be utilised instead).

Division
Division is used as a Product Group identifier within the sales process. It allows not just pricing, delivery etc differentiation within a customer it also allows statistical analyses and separation of marketing procedures. Megger require the ability to analyse sales orders and revenues by the source factory of the products ie which Megger factory etc originally manufactured the product (based on the assumption that any product is only manufactured by one site and there is no duplication of manufacture). In addition to reporting requirements this source factory code is also required in the definition of inter profit centre transfer transactions. Division provides the ideal vehicle for providing this analysis as it is attached to the material master and applies across the whole implementation (Megger currently has problems with consistency of coding in this regard where a product is sold by a factory other than the one that manufactured it). In general terms any sales organisation can sell products from all sites so there is no restriction of division within the general sales structure. The only exception to this is in the case of service and repair carried out by the Sales and Distribution companies (Canada France and Australia) where only that company can sell its own service and repair, and Training where it is unlikely that any company other than US will sell Training Plant products to another Megger Site. However for simplicity it will be assumed that all Companies and Distribution Channel can sell all Divisions products (note: appendix 3.3 shows the Sales Areas that will actually be used as opposed to the All/All configuration) It had originally been agreed that, Division in Meggers implementation would be used to aid statistical analysis by being the means of distinguishing between Product, Accessory etc. (currently identified in BPCS by a P or an A suffix on the Product subgroup code). As above, however, this statistical analysis is now being provided through product group coding Any individual sales order can contain items from more than one factory, but Division is a required field at order entry stage, in the order header. However, all subsequent sales analysis picks up Division from the material Master and not from the Order Header. A default of 00 will therefore also be set up for all customers for use in order entry to avoid confusion with real Divisions

Megger Group Ltd

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres

Laboratory / Design Office


Lab/Office is used to identify the design authority for a material. Generally this will be the same as the Division (ie the manufacturing site), but in the case of products factored from a third party it will designate the Megger site responsible for design and safety approval.

Sales Area
Sales Areas identify each combination of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel and Division, and each customer has to be set up for each sales area it will use. It is the need to minimise this master data maintenance requirement that has dictated the structure that Megger has decided to utilise.

UK

In the UK, the sales areas are as follows. Megger Limited (Sales) A total of 9 trade sales areas (where the distribution channel is 10). Although only a small number of sales will be made inter-company, because of the sales made to CAS/Iberia, each of the trade sales areas need to be replication to inter-company so 9 inter-company sales areas will exist (where the distribution channel is 40). With the exception of Megger companies in CSA/Iberia companies, customers will only need exist in trade sales areas. Megger Instruments Limited (Manufacturing) Only 3 sales areas will exist in the manufacturing company for the purposes of inter-company trading of Dover and some Factored product.

US and Sales Companies


The US has 17 Sales Areas, and each of the sales companies has 18. However similar considerations apply here as the do in the UK, (although the number of Sales Areas per customer will generally be higher than in the UK). By excluding the inter company and nonrevenue items from the vast majority of customers, the potential sales areas required are more than halved with further narrowing down according to individual circumstances

Sales Office
A Sales Office in SAP is normally used to identify the physical location (branch office etc.) responsible for the sale. However as this is a field that is available in PA it has been decided that Megger will use this for Profit Centre identification. For data selection purposes in reporting, Sales Offices will be split into three ranges to identify Trade sales Inter company sales Profit Centre transfers only used by the automated routine being developed for inter profit centre sales Selecting Trade sales and Inter Company sales will allow the reporting of statutory sales, whilst selecting Inter Company and Profit Centre transfers will give profit centre sales

Plant
In Logistics a plant is an organizational unit for dividing an enterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning and is a place where materials are produced, or goods and services are provided. A plant is unique to a Company and every trading company has to have at least one Plant (but could have multiple) if it is going to purchase anything. It is the level at which ATP works.

Megger Group Ltd

Page 11 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres With the exception of the umbrella US operating company each real Megger company will have just one plant as there are no requirements for different operating procedures, different stock valuations, etc within any of those companies. If dummy adjusting companies are adopted, they do not require plants as they will have no operational requirements - just GL journal entries. In the US however where an umbrella company is required to support the dba Megger method of operation, Plants will be used to represent the legal entities / separate operations rather than Companies. Generally the Plant number will be the same as its associated Company number. In the US however the 4 digit number will be derived from the first three digits of the existing PRMS organisation codes with a trailing zero. This creates a structured approach such that ranges can be used to identify organisations 5100 to 5199 represents Dallas with 5110 being Bronze Way operations 5140 being PowerDB 5150 being States Products 5160 being the AVO Training Institute -

5200 to 5299 represents Valley Forge (including resale operations) 5400 to 5499 represents College Station 5800 to 5899 represents Megger US Sales Operations 5900 represents the US holding company (ABE)

As can be seen, in order to fully implement this philosophy it is necessary to use 5140 for PowerDB rather than 5400 and 5160 for the AVO Training Institute rather than 5500 so that they falls within the Dallas sequence

Purchasing Organisation
A Purchasing Organisation negotiates contracts and terms with vendors, procures materials and services etc. It can range from being Group wide to plant specific (and combinations in between). Megger does not have a Group purchasing function. Although commonality of components (cases etc) is becoming more of a feature, this is not enough to drive centralisation in fact localisation of decision making is the theme within the Group. Each location has its own purchasing team and it is appropriate to replicate this within SAP. Within the US therefore, each operating plant will have its own purchasing organisation (except Valley Forge where Resale and Manufacturing will have a common one), and elsewhere each operating Company will have its own purchasing organisation. These operating company/plant purchasing organisations will also be used to cover any central functions based at the relevant facility. Generally the operating plant number in the US and the operating company number in the UK will be used as the Purchasing Organisation identifier.

Storage Location
Each plant will have multiple storage locations which hold inventory. Definitions and details of these are contained within the appropriate inventory and manufacturing PPDs.

Shipping Point
Shipping Points represent the physical location from which items will be shipped responsible for scheduling and processing deliveries. Each of Meggers locations has a single shipping area and so each plant within SAP will have a single Shipping Point

Megger Group Ltd

Page 12 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres (Plant number used as identifier) with the exception of the UK. In this instance the UK manufacturing will share shipping point 1200 for the purpose of trade sales made by the sales company where material exists in both plants.

Transport Planning Point


The Transport Planning Point is the function within a Company (not Plant) responsible for transportation activities. Megger will have one Transport Planning Point per operating Company (operations are not big enough to split this responsibility). Company code number will also be used as the Transport Planning Point identifier.

Profit Centres
Profit Centres as emphasised throughout this document are core to Meggers philosophy and define its managerial organisation structure. Each profit centre manager has full P&L and Balance Sheet responsibility for his/her operation. Essentially for the Instruments part of Megger, 3 manufacturing sites (product based) plus a software house sell their products to 3 geographic sales organisations. For sales reporting purposes two of these sales profit centres are each sub-divided into 2 geographic regions, although this level of detail is not yet carried into the P&L. This does therefore dictate the need for a third profit centre within each of these sales organisations that will collect the overhead costs for that selling channel. Megger then has two additional, largely self contained, businesses States and Training. These businesses have their own sales organisation in the US but utilise the Instruments Sales Organisations for sales outside the US. For consistency and to reduce the number of exceptions in automated transactions these two profit centres will each be split between manufacturing and sales with a third profit centre for intercompany elimination on consolidation and overhead collection. Profit Centre Hierarchy will be used to combine the various sub-divisions of profit centre outlined above, whilst Profit Centre Groups will be use for grouping Manufacturing Profit Centres and Selling Profit Centres for reporting purposes

Functional Areas
Meggers standard Profit and Loss reporting is based around functions rather than expenditure types, and SAPs functional area provides the vehicle by which this can be achieved. The Functional Areas will replicate Meggers profit reporting requirements.

Cost Centres
Megger makes extensive use of cost centres in its existing systems and this will be carried over into SAP, with the same numbering being used where possible. However whereas currently only one cost centre is used for any particular (say) production area (with functional P&L analysis being achieved by other means), the association of Functional Areas with Cost Centres in SAP means that multiple cost centres will be required (one for COGS, one for direct labour, one for overhead etc). Cost Centres in SAP are not Company specific but go across the whole Controlling Area. It is therefore necessary to come up with a structure that ensures uniqueness across the system and range definition for reporting purposes. To this end a 7 digit cost centre number will be used The first digit will be the same as the country identifier in the Company number (ie 1 for the UK) this will bring UK cost centre number lengths in line with the US which already mainly begin with a 5 and are 6 characters long The next 5 digits will be the same as the existing cost centre numbers The 7 digit will distinguish between the various functional areas

Megger Group Ltd

Page 13 of 40

Megger Group Limited Appendix 2.10 US Cost Centres Cost Centre Groups will then be used to group the functional sub-divisions of current cost centres, and then to provide a business function hierarchy within each company and within the Group.

Assumptions / Options Considered


A number of assumptions and options were considered at various points during the implementation and subsequent roll out projects. These have been updated to reflect the current situation. Megger had intended to include financial consolidation reporting in phase one as well, but All-In-Ones initial inability to consolidate in more than one currency (this facility was introduced only 3 weeks before the phase 1 go-live date) The time required to manually process the Trial balances of all other operations into SAP means that this has had to be postponed), It was initially decided that the holding company - AVO International inc (aka ABE) could be represented by a separate Company within SAP as it is independent of the mixed operational environment. However after further consideration it was agreed that this segregation was not necessary and so as not to add the system overhead of an additional company ABE is identified by a plant within this US umbrella company It was initially decided that a single additional plant would be used for all resale products, but it subsequently became clear that the same objective could be achieved through the profit centre process and an additional plant with its associated system overhead was unnecessary Many different combinations of Sales Organisations were been considered for ease of sales reporting and profit centre identification, but in the end the simplistic approach agreed upon is the most appropriate to minimise master data maintenance) Group wide credit control is not a requirement and the volume of common customers will remain small enough for manual co-ordination to be appropriate Purchasing will remain a local function Group Consolidation will be carried on within SAP No product is manufactured in more than one location

GAAP Adjustments
Consolidating adjustments are required within the system as a result of the use of IFRS for reporting to TBG and the use of UK GAAP for statutory accounting. There are three areas of difference Capitalisation of R&D IFRS requires product development expenditure to be capitalised and then amortised to the P&L over several years following product launch. Under UK GAAP whilst such capitalisation is permitted is not mandated. Within Megger Group the consolidated statutory accounts include the capitalisation of R&D, whereas the Megger Limited statutory accounts do not. This anomaly arises because when the Group introduced R&D capitalisation in 2002, there was a concern that if it was adopted for Megger Limited statutory accounts it could have adverse tax consequences whereas Group consolidations have no tax implications it is preferable to keep this as closely in line with TBG reporting as possible. Goodwill Accounting Unlike UK GAAP, IFRS does not amortise goodwill, rather it utilise an annual impairment test and the balance sheet values and P&L charges under the two systems are very different Pension Scheme accounting IFRS partially recognises pension scheme funding on the balance sheet and uses an actuarial calculation for the P&L, whilst UK GAAP has historically excluded these items (showing them only as notes to the accounts) and using actual contributions to the scheme as the P&L charge. With effect 2006 UK GAAP now also recognises pension scheme funding positions on the balances sheet, but the calculation of the surplus/deficit is different to that used under IFRS, and an accounting difference therefore still exists Generally local accounts are required by Megger to be produced under UK GAAP, with any adjustments to local requirements being treated separately. The company records outlined above will therefore be in accordance with IFRS, and Group consolidation can be achieved for management reporting by taking all companies within the range 1000 to 9799. UK statutory reporting however requires adjustment from this, and this will be achieved by extending the consolidation to cover all companies in the range 1000 to 9899 US Adjustments to Group Accounts The US capitalises R&D which is compatible under both accounting conventions so this is not an issue and nor is Goodwill as it has been fully written off under both accounting conventions. Pensions are however an issue as the US has two pension schemes and these require adjustment from IFRS too UK GAAP. These adjusting entries will be made in company 9850 using US$ as local currency (it is in the range 9800 to 9899 which is the range used for GAAP adjustments and 5 is the leading company character denoting the US UK Adjustments to Group Accounts The UK capitalises R&D in its IFRS books which is compatible under both accounting conventions so this is not an issue. Goodwill however does create a problem (whilst it has been fully written off under UK GAAP it retains a significance asset value under IFRS), as does the significant pension scheme deficit.

These adjusting entries to convert Goodwill and pensions to UK GAAP will be made in company 9810 using Sterling as local currency (it is in the range 9800 to 9899 which is the range used for GAAP adjustments and 1 is the leading company character denoting the UK) UK Adjustments to Company Accounts Whilst the UK adjustments to Group Accounts allow Megger Group consolidated reporting in the UK they do not convert the Megger Limited accounts to its individual statutory reporting as in its statutory accounts it does not capitalise R&D. There is therefore a requirement for a separate UK adjusting company that not only adjusts goodwill and pensions, but also eliminates capitalised R&D. This will be Company 9910 (in the range 9900 to 9999 which are exclude from all consolidation reporting, and 1 is the leading company character denoting the UK) By adding company 1000 and company 9910 together accounts will be produce for Megger Limited under its own UK GAAP requirements. Megger SARL Adjustment to French Requirements Under the French legal/tax framework all accounting entries must go against the year to which they relate prior year adjustments are not allowed. However from Meggers perspective in reporting to TBG, the accounts for any year are finalised and closed before the end of December and except under special circumstances posting to that year are not allowed after the end of December any such entries are posted to the P&L in the subsequent year. The solution to this problem is to use a dummy company to hold the adjustments from French GAAP to Megger reporting Megger Sweden AB Adjustments to Group Accounts The books of Megger Sweden include a pre-acquisition $6.4 mln purchase of intellectual property from GE. In the Swedish GAAP books this has been capitalised and is being amortised over 5 years. In the Groups consolidated accounts however this purchase is treated as having been written off in tye P&L. The adjusting entries to switch between capitalised and non-capitalised IPR will be made in company 9860 using Swedish Krona as local currency (it is in the range 9800 to 9899 which is the range used for GAAP adjustments and 6 is the leading company character denoting the Sweden)
