To achieve this, data were obtained from Chemring Group's 2015 annual reports and accounts, and analyzed using content analysis such as tables, walk through accounting illustration and key financial ratios, this is the major contribution of this study demonstrating practically the impact of the treatments of R&D costs, which to the best knowledge of the researcher has not been analyzed before. Findings from the analysis show that expensing all R&D costs has reduced the value of non-current asset and equity at the same proportion to the tune of the initial capitalized amount of development costs. This has impacted the financial position and the balance sheet size negatively by {pound}36.1m. Due to the decline in profit and the balance sheet size in terms of assets and equity, the efficiency ratios have indicated down ward trend while the long term solvency ratio indicates the company is more geared. The study concludes that expensing all R&D costs reduces net asset and equity thereby reducing the size of the balance sheet, and potential investors and other users of financial statement evaluating the company would note that the assets appearing on the balance sheet are incomplete because the huge amount spent to create future benefits are not recognized and reported in the statement of financial position of the company.
