FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING ASSETS,
FINANCIAL POSITION AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

out an analysis of the issues and potential impacts which Phase 1 “Classification
andMeasurement” and Phase 2 “Impairment” of this new standard could have on
assets earmarked for end-of-lifecycle operations. In fact, according to IFRS 9, the
classification and measurement of financial assets will depend on the business
model and contractual characteristics of the instruments. During their initial
recognition, the financial assets will be classified at amortized cost in fair value
through equity or in fair value through profit and loss. The application of these
two criteria could lead to a different classification and measurement of assets
earmarked for end-of-lifecycle operations than in IAS 39. In addition, Phase 2
of the standard, “Impairment”, introduces a new impairment model for credit
risk based on expected losses. This model will require recognition of 12-month
expected credit losses on purchased or originated instruments (resulting from the
risk of defaults in the next 12months) at their initiation. Full lifetime expected credit
losses (resulting from the risk of defaults over the remaining life of the instrument)
will have to be recognized if the credit risk has increased significantly since initial
recognition. The group is analyzing the potential impacts that application of
this model would bring to its portfolio of earmarked assets. At this stage of the
analysis, the principal impacts expected are an increase in the volatility of the
statement of income, unless the group changes the terms for management of its
earmarked funds. However, optimization of the yields of assets in the earmarked
funds will remain the group’s priority, independently of the volatility that their
recognition will bring about in the financial statements.
p
IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” was published on May 28,
2014 and adopted by the European Union on September 22, 2016. The
mandatory effective date is January 1, 2018. It will replace several standards and
interpretations related to recognition of revenue, in particular IAS 18 “Revenue
Recognition” and IAS 11 “Construction Contracts”. This standard rests on
principles described in a five-stepmodel to determine when and in what amount
income from ordinary operating activities should be recognized. The group has
spent considerable effort on the training of its financial and operating teams to
raise their awareness of the changes that the new standard could bring. The
different types of contracts and identification of the issues that the standard
might bring are being analyzed.

1.3.1. Presentation of the financial statements
1.3.1.1. Operations sold, discontinued and held for sale
Operations sold, discontinued and held for sale are presented in the financial
statements in accordance with IFRS 5. Operations held for sale correspond to
distinct, principal operating segments within the group for which management
has initiated a disposal plan expected to lead to a loss of control and an active
program to search for buyers, and whose sale is deemed highly probable within
the 12 months following the end of the financial year (which may be extended in
the event of particular circumstances).
Discontinued operations correspond to operating segments whose operation was
terminated at the date of closing of the financial year.
The planned restructuring operations described in note 1.1 will have the effect of a
loss of control of New NP, NewCo and other operations held for sale (in particular
AREVA TA and renewable energies). The group believed that the conditions for
classification as operations held for sale had been met, which had the following
consequences, pursuant to the provisions of IFRS 5:
VALUATION
p
Before proceeding to classification as “operations held for sale”, all of the
assets and liabilities concerned were valued in accordance with the accounting
principles historically applied by AREVA, described in note 1.3.
p
As from their date of classification as “operations held for sale”:
○
non-current assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and
equipment, and interests in joint ventures and associates follow specific rules
imposed by IFRS 5. In particular:
-
amortization of amortizable assets ceases,
-
interests in joint ventures and associates cease to be consolidated by the
equity method;
○
the other assets and liabilities continue to be valued according to the principles
described in note 1.3.
Thus determined, the group’s carrying amount of assets held for sale and related
liabilities is compared with its fair value less disposal costs, giving rise if necessary
to the recognition of impairment.
PRESENTATION
p
The assets and liabilities of operations held for sale are presented in their total
amount under specific headings of the statement of financial position. The
payables and debt of these operations towards the group’s other entities continue
to be eliminated on consolidation. The comparative statement of financial position
is not restated.
p
Net income from operations sold, discontinued and held for sale is presented
under a specific heading of the statement of income, which includes the net
income after tax of those operations until the date of their termination or disposal
and the net gain after tax on the disposal itself. The statement of income from the
previous year is presented for purposes of comparison and restated in identical
fashion. This heading also includes the impact on the statement of income
of post-disposal price adjustments and warranties granted to the buyer. The
elimination of the income and expenses of these operations with respect to the
group’s other entities aims to present the revenue earned with companies outside
the group and reflects the manner in which the transactions will be continued.
