Notes to the condensed half year financial statements (unaudited)
The condensed interim financial statements set out above contain the interim financial information of Wolfson Microelectronics Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) for the twenty-six week period ended 29 June 2014. The comparative period is the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013.
The financial information set out in these interim statements has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34Interim Financial Reporting. The interim statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the fifty-two week period ended 29 December 2013.
The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fifty-two week period ended 29 December 2013.
There are no new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are currently relevant for the Group in the current financial period and that are mandatory for the first time for financial periods commencing on 30 December 2013.
Use of estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management necessarily makes judgements and estimates that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed interim financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Changes in the assumptions underlying the estimates could result in a significant impact to the interim financial statements. The most critical of these accounting judgement and estimation areas were noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fifty-two week period ended 29 December 2013.
Income tax
Income tax in the interim period is calculated using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual pre-tax results. A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate, from 23% to 21% was effective from 1 April 2014 with a further reduction in the UK corporation tax rate, from 21% to 20% to be effective from 1 April 2015. Therefore the relevant deferred tax balances as at 29 June 2014 have been measured using a UK corporation tax rate of 20%.
The revenue of the Group is generally more weighted towards the second half of the financial year in line with consumer spending and demand in the lead up to the main holiday period. The Group attempts to minimise the seasonal impact through the management of inventories to meet demand during this period, however the first half of the financial year typically results in lower revenues and operating results.
The chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) of the Group. The CEO reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The Group has two reportable segments, which reflect the organisational structure in the internal reporting as used by the CEO in order to assess performance and allocate resources. These two reportable segments are the Group’s Audio Hubs and Discrete and Power Products segments which are reported separately to the chief operating decision-maker to allow greater management focus on the Audio Hubs strategy. The following summary describes the operations in the Group’s reportable segments:
Audio Hubs – this segment includes the supply and sale of Wolfson’s Audio Hubs high performance audio integrated circuit solutions. Audio Hubs are feature-rich devices which contain many of Wolfson’s audio technologies combined into a single Hub device.
6
Discrete and Power Products – this segment includes the supply and sale of integrated circuits which are discrete components, such as : Analogue-to-Digital Converters; Digital-to-Analogue Converters; and this segment also includes those components which are power management integrated circuits and the silicon microphone devices based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (‘MEMS’) technology.
The other operating segment does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds for determining a reportable segment in the periods presented and, accordingly, the relevant revenue and segment gross profits are shown as ‘other operating segment’.
The CEO assesses the performance of the operating segments based on revenue and a measure of gross profit. The gross profit measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from operating segments, such as restructuring costs and exceptional inventory write downs. Interest income and expenditure are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the CEO. Other information provided to the CEO is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements. The segment information is prepared using accounting policies consistent with those of the Group as a whole. There were no inter-segment transactions in the periods presented.
The assets and liabilities of the Group are not reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker on a segment basis. Therefore none of the Group’s assets and liabilities are segmental assets and segmental liabilities respectively and all are unallocated for segmental disclosure purposes.

There were no exceptional charges recognised in the twenty-six week period ended 29 June 2014.
Past service cost on defined benefit plan.
Exceptional charge recognised in the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013 and in the fifty-two week period ended 29 December 2013:
In November 2012 the Group initiated an Enhanced Transfer Value (ETV) offer to the 83 deferred members of the Company’s defined benefit pension scheme. The Group estimated (for accounting purposes) the projected level of take up of the ETV offer and, as a result, recognised an exceptional charge of $1.4 million in the thirteen and fifty-two week periods ended 30 December 2012. Following the closure of the ETV offer, the actual accounting cost of the ETV to be recognised was $2.0 million for those members that decided to take up the offer. Therefore the difference of $0.6 million between the actual accounting cost and the estimated cost of $1.4 million, recorded as at 30 December 2012, was recognised as an exceptional charge in the Group’s condensed financial statements in the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013 and in the financial statements for the fifty-two week period ended 29 December 2013.

The income tax credit for the twenty-six week period ended, and the related deferred tax asset as at 29 June 2014 reflects the estimated total effective tax rate on the result before taxation for the Group of approximately 20% for the current financial period. This reflects the UK corporation tax rate applicable for that period as favourably affected by tax allowances on research and development expenditure but adversely impacted by disallowable expenses and the lower UK corporation tax rate, of 20%, applicable to the recognition of deferred tax.
| 7. | Property, plant and equipment |
During the twenty-six week period ended 29 June 2014, the Group acquired property, plant and equipment with a cost of $155,000 (twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013: $993,000) and also intangible assets with a cost of $3,040,000 (twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013:$2,726,000).
As at 29 June 2014, the Group had commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of $2,367,000 (as at 30 June 2013: $6,956,000) of which $1,819,000 is expected to be settled in 2014 and $548,000 in 2015.
Defined benefit obligations
The Group makes deficit repair contributions to a UK-based defined benefit plan that provides pension benefits for UK employees upon retirement. The defined benefit plan and actuarial assumptions are based on sterling denominated assets and liabilities. The defined benefit pension scheme was closed to new entrants with effect from 2 July 2002. The scheme closed to future accrual with effect from 30 April 2011 and therefore the Group is no longer required to pay contributions in respect of future accrual.
The Group and the Trustees of the defined benefit pension scheme have agreed on an outline funding policy which will aim to eliminate £1 million (approximately $1.6 million) of buyout deficit every year, either by means of liability reduction measures, contributions, or both.
Funding
The defined benefit pension obligation is calculated using an actuarial update as at 29 June 2014. The latest triennial valuation of this defined benefit pension scheme was as at 29 February 2012.
Since the defined benefit pension scheme is closed to future accrual and since there will no longer be regular contributions into the scheme, there is some uncertainty regarding the recoverability of the net asset, being the IAS 19 net surplus on the scheme as at 29 June 2014. Accordingly the surplus of $2.7 million on the defined benefit pension scheme as at 29 June 2014, calculated in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised in 2011), has not been recognised. The Group is targeting to completely close the scheme over the next five to ten years through a combination of liability reduction exercises, such as buy ins, buy outs and enhanced transfer values, all of which will likely cost more than the IAS 19 funded obligations assume.
During the twenty-six week period ended 29 June 2014, the Group paid a deficit repair contribution of £1 million ($1.6 million) into the plan (twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013: $nil). The total amount due under the current schedule of contributions is approximately $2.3 million as at 29 June 2014, being $1.7 million payable by 30 April 2015 and $0.6 million by 30 April 2016. In accordance with IFRIC 14, the present value of this remaining commitment (being $2.3 million) was recognised as a liability as at 29 June 2014. There was a similar type of commitment at 30 June 2013 and at 29 December 2013 in respect of the schedule of contributions in place at those dates.

Enhanced Transfer Value offer
In November 2012, the Group initiated an Enhanced Transfer Value (ETV) offer to the 83 deferred members of this defined benefit pension scheme and this offer was closed in February 2013. Details of the accounting treatment of the cost of this ETV offer are contained in Note 5. During the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013, the Company paid $2.1 million into the defined benefit pension scheme in respect of the ETV offers which were accepted by some of the deferred members of this pension scheme. The impact of the accepted offers was to reduce the scheme assets and obligations by approximately $11 million, or approximately one third, thereby reducing the buyout deficit by around $4.5 million.

Total expense recognised in the period for share-based compensation (including related payroll taxes) | | | 445 | | | | 785 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The total share-based compensation expense (including related payroll taxes) was lower in the twenty-six week period ended 29 June 2014, compared to the expense for the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013, primarily as a result of credits recognised in respect of share-based awards with non-market performance conditions which are no longer expected to vest, partly offset by the increase in share price.
During the twenty-six week period to 29 June 2014, the Group granted: a maximum of, subject to the achievement of performance conditions, 3,534,095 performance shares (in the form of nil cost options) to executive directors and senior management; and 1,195,665 contingent shares to employees (twenty-six weeks to 30 June 2013: 2,303,876 performance shares (in the form of nil cost options) to executive directors and senior management; and 880,643 contingent shares to employees). Both of these categories of share-based payment have an estimated weighted average life of three years. The weighted average fair values of those share-based payments, which were granted in the twenty-six week period to 29 June 2014, are 127 pence and 127 pence respectively (the weighted average fair values for those share-based payments granted in the twenty-six week period ended 30 June 2013 were: 191.12 pence and 193.09 pence respectively).

Fair value hierarchy
The preceding table analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels are defined as follows:
| • | | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; |
| • | | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
The significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments are regularly reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee of Cirrus Logic.

| | Valuation technique | | Significant unobservable inputs | | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
Contingent consideration | | The fair value is determined by considering the expected payment, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the possible scenarios in respect of: the business milestones (in relation to the contingent consideration for the Sonaptic acquisition) or the utilisation of pre-acquisition tax losses (in relation to the contingent consideration for the Dynamic Hearing acquisition); the amount to be paid under each scenario. | | Probability assessments regarding extent of: achievement of milestones (in relation to the contingent consideration for the Sonaptic acquisition); and utilisation of pre-acquisition tax losses (in relation to the contingent consideration for the Dynamic Hearing acquisition). Estimated timing of: achievement of milestones; and utilisation of pre-acquisition tax losses. Risk adjusted discount rate. | | The estimated fair value would increase if: The assessment of probability was higher in respect of achieving the relevant milestones and / or utilising the pre-acquisition losses. The estimated timing, of achievement of milestones and / or use of the pre-acquisition tax losses, was earlier. The risk-adjusted discount rate was lower. |
