Activities in the 12 months of 2019 and further development

The Company's activities in the 12 months of 2019

In 2019 LJMC continued to provide high-quality medical services and attract new local and foreign patients. Similar to prior years, also in 2019 LJMC employed excellent doctors from Latvia and competent medical personnel. Activities of highly qualified and professional personnel allowed LJMC to provide examinations of competitive and exceptional quality, and to establish attraction of foreign patients as one of the development directions for 2019. LJMC is on the official list of providers of medical tourism services maintained by the Health Inspection of the Republic of Latvia.

LJMC not only successfully attracted foreign patients in 2019, but also actively popularised paid medical services among local public, thus ensuring increase in the number of patients living in Latvia, promoting competitiveness and recognition of LJMC.

Radiology Department in 2019 provided the full range of diagnostic services (magnetic resonance, X-ray examinations and ultrasonography) increasing the amount and quality of services (both state paid services and services paid by patients). PET/CT radiological examinations are available and payable both by private means and state funds.

In order to implement the requirements of GDPR in 2019, with the help of an independent data protection inspector LJMC continued drafting and approving documents (internal rules, LJMC staff newsletter, patient data processing procedure, personal data processing and protection policy), renewing contracts (on the use of medical facilities in digital form, use of medical information system, insurance company services, communication services), and began the training process for LJMC staff.

In 2019, LJMC signed agreements with the National Health Service for the provision of state paid medical services in the amount provided by the budget for 2019.

Further development of the Company

Management Report

To attract more foreign and local patients in 2019 LJMC made investments to implement innovative solutions for providing medical services, improve qualification of staff and enhance patient service.

Continuing to improve the available services with highly-qualified and professional diagnostics service, LJMC's Radiology Department as one of the most modern and innovative cancer diagnostics centre in Eastern Europe will promote the increase in the number of local and foreign patients.

The situation after the last day of the reporting year and Going Concern

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and the Latvian government declared a state of emergency on 12 March 2020. Responding to the potentially serious threat the COVID – 19 presents to public health, the Latvian government authorities have taken measures to contain the outbreak, including suspension of international passenger transport through airports, ports, by bus and rail and the 'lock-down' of certain industries, pending further developments.

The management has considered the fact that the Company operates in the health care sector subject to temporary lock-down imposed by the government due to global circumstances and has considered that the lock-down period may be extended beyond the initially announced period of one month up to two or even three months or beyond and the adverse economic environment may last throughout the remainder of 2020 with recovery in the 1st quarter of 2021. Based on the publicly available information at the date these financial statements were authorized for issue, management has considered the potential development of the outbreak and its expected impact on the Company and the economic environment, in which the Company operates, including the measures already taken by the Latvian government. For more details refer to Note 31 (Summary of Significant of Significant Accounting Policies).

No other significant subsequent events have occurred in the period from the year-end to the date of these financial statements that would require adjustments to be made to these financial statements and disclosures added to the notes thereto.

Financial instruments and financial risks

Financial instrument is an agreement that simultaneously results in financial assets of one party and financial liabilities of the other party.

The key financial instruments held by the Company are financial assets such as trade receivables, amounts due from related parties and other receivables, and financial liabilities such as prepayments from clients, accounts payable to suppliers and contractors and other creditors arising directly from its business activities.

Financial risks connected with the Company's financial instruments, financial risk management Key financial risks related to the Company's financial instruments are:

  • Credit risk is the risk that the Company may incur financial losses if parties to the transactions fail to fulfil their liabilities under the contracts, and credit risk is primarily connected with trade receivables;
  • Currency risk– risk that the Company may suffer unexpected losses arising from fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates; the Company is not exposed to currency risk as it does not significant amounts of currencies other than EUR.
  • Interest rate risk risk that the Company may incur losses due to fluctuations in interest rates;
  • Liquidity risk risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial liabilities in due time.

Management has implemented procedures to control the key risks.

Credit risk

The inability of insurance companies and patients to pay for the services provided by the Company in due time and in full amount. Most of the services are paid for within a short period of time after the provision of services or are funded by state or insurance providers, so the credit risk is low.

Interest rate risk

Management believes that interest rate risk is not material.

Liquidity risk

The Company has no external loans and it has significant financial resources to settle its liabilities.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Financial assets and financial liabilities are carried at cost which according to management approximates their fair value at acquisition plus any related additional expenses. Purchase costs are acquisition costs of goods or services (net of discounts received) with added additional costs related to the purchase.

Reporting year

The reporting period comprises the 9 months from 1 January 2020 to 30 September 2020.

Currency unit and revaluation of foreign currency

All amounts in these financial statements are expressed in the official currency of Latvia – euro (EUR), the functional currency of the Company.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into EUR according to currency exchange rates effective at the date of transaction and determined by reconciliation of the system of the European Central Bank and other central banks and which is published on the website of the European Central Bank.

As at the reporting date, all monetary assets and liabilities are translated into EUR according to exchange rates published on the website of the European Central bank. Non-monetary items of assets and liabilities are revalued to euros in accordance with the reference exchange rate published by the European Central Bank on the transaction date.

Exchange rate per EUR 1:

As at 31.12.2019 As at 31.12.2018
USD 1.12340 1.14500

Gain or loss resulting from payments under transactions executed in foreign currencies and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is reflected in the profit and loss statement of the respective period.

Estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. The actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in the accounting estimates are recognised in the period when those estimates are reviewed and in the future periods.

Judgments applied to going concern basis application have been outlined in note 31 of these financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty are the following:

(i) Impairment of fixed assets

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount is the highest of the fair value less selling expenses or value in use. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss statement.

(ii) Useful lives of fixed and intangible assets

The management estimates the useful lives of fixed assets in proportion to the expected duration of use of the asset (its expected capacity or effectiveness) based on historical experience with similar fixed assets and future plans. Land is not subject to depreciation. For other assets, depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the entire useful life of the respective intangible asset and fixed asset in order to write their value or revalued value down to the estimated book value at the end of the useful life based on the following rates:

%
Intangible assets 20
Buildings and constructions 2.5 - 2.85
Communication equipment and instruments 33.33
Other fixed assets 20

Current maintenance and repair costs of fixed assets are recognized in the profit and loss statement as incurred.

(iii) Fixed assets

Fixed assets other than land, buildings and constructions are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Land, buildings and constructions are measured by the Company using the revaluation model. The balance sheet item Land, buildings and engineering structures of the financial statements of the Company is presented at revalued value, which equals fair value at the revaluation date net of subsequent accumulated deprecation and impairment loss.

As at 31 December 2019 a new revaluation was not performed as the management assessed that no significant changes had taken place in the market and the recognised carrying amount did not differ materially from the fair value of the property.

According to the policy, revaluation of a single building or construction requires the whole category to be revalued. To determine the impact of revaluation at the date of revaluation accrued depreciation is netted of cost or other value, which replaces cost in the financial statements, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased according to the revalued value of the building or structure in the following manner: depreciation accrued to the date of revaluation is initially written-off of the current carrying amount of fixed asset, and afterwards the residual value is increased or decreased according to the fair value of fixed asset as a result of revaluation.

In case the fair value of fixed assets at the balance sheet date is lower than their carrying amount, and such impairment is expected to be permanent, fixed assets are recognized at the lower value. The revaluation result is recognized in the profit and loss statement except where a previously recognized increase in the value of fixed assets offsets an impairment loss. In that event, the long term investment revaluation reserve is decreased by the amount of impairment.

In case the value of fixed assets at the balance sheet date is higher than the valuation on the balance sheet, fixed assets are revalued to the higher value if the increase in value may be assumed to be other than temporary. The increase in value resulting from revaluation is recognized under 'Long term investment revaluation reserve'. If an increase in the value resulting from revaluation compensates for the impairment of the same fixed asset which was previously recognized as an expense in the profit and loss statement, then the increase resulting from revaluation is recognized as income in the profit and loss statement as incurred. The long term investment revaluation reserve is decreased when the revalued asset is disposed, is no longer utilized, or the increase of value is no longer reasonable.

The increase in value recognized in the long term investment revaluation reserve under equity is reversed by recognizing a decrease in the profit and loss statement upon liquidation or disposal of the revalued fixed asset.

(iv) Valuation of receivables

Receivables are disclosed at amortised cost net of impairment allowances. Doubtful debt allowances are recognized based on an individual management assessment of the recoverability of each receivable when objective evidence exists that the Company will not be able to recover the full amount of receivables according to the previously agreed repayment terms. The amount of allowance represents the difference between the carrying and recoverable amount of receivables. The allowance is charged to the profit and loss statement.

(v) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when a past event has given rise to a present obligation or losses and the amount can be estimated reasonably. The likelihood of loss is assessed based on management assumptions. In order to determine the amount of loss management is required to select an appropriate calculation method and make specific assumptions connected with the specific risk. No provisions were made as at 31 December 2019.

Revenue recognition

Income from sales of goods

Revenue from the sales of goods is recognized in the profit and loss statement after the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the client.

No revenue is recognized if according to the provisions of the transaction the Company retains significant risks pertaining to the ownership of goods and the goods can be returned.

Income from services

Income from services provided is recognized in the profit and loss statement as generated. Income is received and recorded according to signed cooperation agreements.

Rental income

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the rental term.

Long and short term classification

Amounts whose terms of receipt, payment or write off are due in more than one year after the balance sheet date are classified as long term. Amounts to be received, paid or written off within 12 months are classified as short term.

Lease transactions

Operating lease – (the Company as a Lessor)

The Company leases premises, which are part of revalued fixed assets. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the entire useful life of the respective fixed asset in order to write its value down to the estimated carrying amount at the end of the useful life based on the rates set for similar fixed assets. Income from operating lease and client prepayments is charged to the profit and loss statement on a straight-line basis over the period of lease.

Operating lease – (the Company as a lessee)

Payments for operating lease are recognized in the profit and loss statement on a straight-line basis over the period of lease.

Fixed assets

All fixed assets other than land, buildings and constructions are recognised on the balance sheet at historical cost less depreciation.

For other assets, depreciation and amortization is calculated in accordance with the straight-line method over the entire useful life of the respective intangible assets and fixed assets in order to write their value or revalued value down to the estimated book value at the end of the useful life. The depreciation method is reviewed at least on an annual basis, at the year-end.

Subsequent expenses are added to the book value of the asset or recognized as a separate asset only where it is highly probable that future benefits related to this item would flow into the company and expenses of this item can be estimated reliably. Such expenses are written off over the entire useful life of the respective asset. When capitalizing the costs of installed spare parts, the book value of the spare parts is written off in the income statement.

Profit or loss from disposal of fixed assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and income generated from sale, and income from the reversal of the revaluation reserve of the respective fixed asset, and charged to the profit and loss statement as incurred.

Accounting and valuation of stock

Stock is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Stock has been valued according to the FIFO method. Stock accounting is based on the perpetual method. Stock has been counted during the annual stock take.

Grants

Grants received for special types of capital investments are treated as deferred income which is gradually recognised as revenue over the useful life of the fixed assets received or acquired using grants. Grants received to cover expenses are recognised in the same period when the related expenses have arisen, if all the conditions of receiving the grant are met.

Corporate income tax

(a) Current tax

As of 1 January 2018, the Corporate Income Tax Law comes into effect in the Republic of Latvia setting out a conceptually new regime for paying taxes. The tax rate is 20%, and the taxable base, determined by dividing the value of the amount taxable with corporate income tax by coefficient 0.8 and includes:

• distributed profit (dividends calculated, payments equivalent to dividends, conditional dividends) and

• theoretically distributed profit (non-operating expenses and other specific cases provided by law).

The new tax regime is not applicable to the distribution of dividends from profit accumulated to 31 December 2017 and taxed under the previous taxation regime.

(2) Net sales

Net sales represents revenue generated during the reporting period from the Company's basic activities – sales of services, net of value added tax and discounts.

In February 2018 land, buildings and constructions were valued by independent experts. The valuation was carried out by the independent experts using a combination of the comparable transactions method and income method. As at 31 December 2019, a new revaluation was not performed as the management assessed that no significant changes had taken place in the market and the recognised carrying amount did not differ materially from the fair value of the property.

The fair value of land and building was determined by an external, independent property valuer, having appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued.

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of core real estate items included in position 'Buildings and land', as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

(30) Events after the balance sheet date and their impact on the ability of the Company to continue operations

The financial statements are based on a qualitative and quantitative assessment and the issuer has ensured transparency with regard to the actual and potential impact of Covid-19 on its business, financial position and economic indicators.

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and the Latvian government declared a state of emergency on 12 March 2020, which was extended on 7 April 2020. Responding to the potentially serious threat the COVID – 19 presents to public health, the Latvian government authorities have taken measures to contain the outbreak, including suspension of international passenger transport through airports, ports, by bus and rail and the 'lockdown' of certain industries, pending further developments. In particular, airlines, sea carriers and railways suspended international transport of people, schools, universities, restaurants, cinemas, theatres and museums and sport facilities were closed or restricted their activities. Many businesses in Latvia have also instructed employees to remain at home and some have curtailed or temporarily suspended business operations. Similar measures were taken by other European countries and other countries affected by the pandemic.

The wider economic impacts of these events include:

— Disruption to business operations and economic activity in Latvia, with a cascading impact on both upstream and downstream supply chains;

— Significant disruption to businesses in certain sectors, both within Latvia and in markets with high dependence on a foreign supply chain as well as export-oriented businesses with high reliance on foreign markets. The affected sectors include trade and transportation, travel and tourism, entertainment, manufacturing, construction, retail, insurance, education and the financial sector;

— Significant decrease in demand for non-essential goods and services;

— An increase in economic uncertainty, reflected in more volatile asset prices and currency exchange rates.

On 22 March 2020 the law on measures to prevent and overcome the national threat and combat its consequences in relation to the spread of the disease caused by COVID-19 was ratified with retrospective effect from 12 March 2020. The law provides for a number of measures to help companies overcome the emergency.

The Company is engaged in commercial activities in the health care sector, which has been impacted by the outbreak of Covid-19 and following Order No. 59 by the Ministry of Health the provision of secondary ambulatory health care services, day hospital services and paid health care services was suspended. Net sales to 23 March 2020 were strong. According to the information published by the Company on 23 March 2020 on the websites of NasdaqRiga and FCMC the provision of secondary

ambulatory services and day hospital services were suspended. After 23 March 2020, unaudited net sales of the Company decreased and as a result March sales decreased by 24% versus February and those for April are expected to decrease by more than 30%. Based on the publicly available information at the date of these financial statements were authorized for issue, management has considered the potential development of the outbreak and its expected impact on the Company and the economic environment, in which the Company operates, including the measures already taken by the Latvian government.

Management considered the following operating risks that may adversely affect the Company:

  • Unavailability of staff for extended period of time;
  • Legal restrictions on provision of services;

  • Recession in the Latvian economy and globally that would significantly reduce the purchasing power of end consumers and businesses.

The management has considered the fact that the Company operates in the health care sector subject to temporary lock-down imposed by the government due to global circumstances and has considered that the lock-down period may be extended beyond the initially announced period of one month up to two or even three months or beyond and the adverse economic environment may last throughout the remainder of 2020 with recovery in the 1st quarter of 2021. On 17 April 2020, order No. 59 by the Ministry of Health was amended to allow the provision of the following planned health care services from 20 April 2020: diagnostics services with referrals of family doctors or specialists and consultations of certain specialists. The Company started to offer health care services starting from 20 April 2020 as stipulated in order No. 59 by the Ministry of Health. The level of services that can be provided under the regulations is limited to around 40% of the state funded services pool serviced by the Company, which is representative of 25% of the annual revenue. Based on the current state of affairs it is expected that additional health care services will be allowed from 12 May 2020.

In order to mitigate the risks resulting from potential adverse scenarios, Management started to implement the measures, which notably include:

  • implementation of a work-from-home program on a rotational basis for a significant group of administrative employees and remote consultations of family doctors;

  • employees in the administration department have been trained to adhere to very strict precautionary standards including social distancing;

  • remote negotiations with the bank to provide a grace period for lease payments on medical equipment until the 4th quarter of 2020.

  • the Board has decided to suspend capital expenditure for the upcoming 9 months.

The Company has assessed different scenarios as to how the situation might develop. Forecast for an adverse development scenario: Based on economic calculations and accounting estimates the Company forecasted that revenues in 2020 may decrease by 35% compared to 2019 on the assumption that state paid services will decrease by 31% during the year and the total volume of paid services will decrease by 45% during the year. It is based on the scenario that it will be allowed to partly provide state paid services from 20 April 2020 and the total volume of services provided will decline for various reasons to reach an overall level which is 31% lower than that in 2019. As concerns paid services, they might be resumed from July with a lower demand compared to previous periods, which results in a decrease of 45% during the year. In this scenario, the Company will reduce remuneration (majority of which is variable based), tax expenses related primarily to the variable part of remuneration, reduce the cost of medicines and medical materials, repairs and operating expenses. According to the management, the Company could be able to overcome such a scenario assuming that net sales return to historical levels in 2021.

Forecast for the base case scenario: Based on economic calculations and accounting estimates the Company believes that revenue in 2020 may decrease by 17% compared to 2019 on the assumption that state paid services will decrease by 12% during the year while the total volume of paid services will decrease by 29% during the year. It is based on the scenario that it will be allowed to partly provide state paid services from 20 April 2020 and during the year these services could be provided in full, with appropriate adjustments to the circumstances, and the total volume of services will decline for various reasons to reach an overall level which is 12% lower than that in 2019. The key difference

between the adverse and the base scenario is the total volume of services provided and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. It will be possible to resume the provision of paid services from July; however, the overall demand will decrease significantly. In this scenario, the Company will partly reduce remuneration related primarily to the variable part of remuneration, partly reduce tax expenses, partly reduce the cost of medicines and medical materials, repairs and operating expenses. In this scenario the management believes the Company will be able to complete the year with insignificant losses.

Current assets as at 31 December 2019 amounted to EUR 2 423 690 and current liabilities amounted to EUR 855 631 the liquidity ratio was 2.8. The management believes that equity of EUR 5 502 086 and cash of EUR 1 987 454 at the end of 2019 provide a sound basis for the Company to continue as a going concern. In management's view, the above factors support the assertion that the Company will have sufficient resources to continue for a period of at least 12 months from the period end date. Management concluded that the range of possible outcomes considered at arriving at this judgment does not give rise to material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management cannot however preclude the possibility that extended lock down periods, an escalation in the severity of such measures, or a consequential adverse impact of such measures on the economic environment the Company operates in will have an adverse effect on the Company, and its financial position and operating results, in the medium and longer term. We continue to monitor the situations closely and will respond to mitigate the impact of such events and circumstances as they occur.
