Management report

Operations of the Group's parent company and Group during the reporting year have been successful. Total revenues of the Group's parent company and Group for the fiscal year increased respectively by 6.9 % and 10.7% and amounts to EUR 17.3 million for Group's parent company and EUR 18.2 million for the Group.

2015 income structure is as follows: regular lending against pledges (pledge secured loans and sale of pledged assets subsequent to loan repayment default) - 49% (2014: 46%), non-secured loans - 51% (2014: 54%) and other income - 1% (2014: 1%). As to the profitability of operational segments, then regular lending against pledges represents 73% of profit (2014: 75%), non-secured bans - 29% (2014: 33%), other income - 2% (2014: 8%).

Due to implementation of the chosen business strategy, the following financial ratios were achieved in 2015:

Position EUR Increase / (decrease) %
Net loan portfolio, the Group's parent company 6.2 5.1
Net loan portfolio, the Group 6.5 3.2
Assets, the Group's parent company 11.2 3.7
Assets, Group 10.7 2.1
Net profit, the Group's parent company 1.3 4.8
Net profit, Group 1.5 7.9

During the 2015, on 12 February 2015 the Parent company and the Riga City Council has signed a contract on purchase of 569 148 (100%) shares of SIA "Banknote" (till 30.04.2015 SIA "Rigas pilsētas lombards") which was auctioned by the former owner. The purchase price of 880 000 euro was fully paid on 18 February 2015. On 23 February 2015 the transaction was registered in the Companies' Register. During the year the regular lending against pledges operations of SIA "Banknote" were transferred to SIA "ExpressCredit".

In 2015 the parent company registered two new subsidiaries with 100% interest - SIA "EC Investments" and SIA "EC Finance". The subsidiaries were established with the aim to diversify the operations of the Group and enhance its development.

Branches

In the year 2015 the Group continued the work on development of the branch network, loan volume increase, and IT system development. As at 31 December 2015 the Group had 96 branches in 40 cities in Latvia (31.12.2014 -93 branches in 38 cities).

In 2015 SIA "ExpressCredit" changed operating brand name of branches from Lombards24.Iv to Banknote. Along with the re-branding, the company expanded the range of financial services offered as well as the accessibility of its services, thus creating an unmatched non-banking financial service provider in the Latvian market.

Risk management

The Group is not exposed to significant foreign exchange rate risk because basic transaction currency is euro. Significant amount of funding of the Group consist of fixed coupon rate bonds, so that the Group is not significantly exposed to variable interest rate risk. Accurate application of the prudent strategies chosen has allowed the Group to successfully manage its financial risks, particularly the liquidity and credit risk. The legal environment change and regulatory risks that may affect the interest charges in the segular lending against pledges and non-secured loans.

Post balance sheet events

There are no subsequent events since the last date of the reporting year, which would have a significant effect on the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2015.

Future prospects

In 2016 the new regulations came in force that reduced the interest rates for the unsecured loans. In the segment of Group's operations the legislation has limited the maximum of interest and penalty charges at the level lower than previously. In 2016 the Group plans to strengthen its market leadership and improve the branch network. It is planned that the Group's portfolio will increase, but profit dynamics will be lower than 2015 results.

Distribution of the profit proposed by the Group

The Parent Company's board recommends the profit of 2015 to pay out in dividends, respecting the restrictions applied to debt securities emissions.

Critical assumptions and judgements are described in the relevant sections of the financial statements.

    • a) It is assumed that the company will continue as a going concern;
    • b) The measurement methods applied in the previous reporting year have been used;
    • c) The measurement of the items has been performed prudently meeting the following criteria:
      • Only profits accruing up to the balance sheet date have been included in the report;
        • All possible contingencies and losses arising year or the previous year have been recognised, even if they became known in the period between the balance sheet date and the issuance of the annual report;
        • All impairment and depreciation charges have been calculated and recognised irrespectively of whether the company has operated profitably or not during the reporting year;

    • f) The opening balances of the reporting period reconcile with the closing balances of the previous reporting period;
    • All items which may materially affect the assessment or decision-making of the financial statements are ರಿ) presented, immaterial items have been aggregated and their breakdown is presented in the Notes;
    • h) Business transactions are presented based on their economic substance rather than their legal form.

Asset and liability recognition is performed on historical cost basis. All financial assets and liabilities are classified as held to maturity or loans and receivables.

Consolidation principles (c)

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the cost method. The consolidation are the Group's parent company and the subsidiaries in which the Group's parent company holds, directly or indirectly, more than a half of the voting rights, or the right to control their financial and operating policies is acquired otherwise.

Where necessary, the accounting and measurement methods applied by the Group's subsidiaries have been changed to bring them in compliance with the Group's accounting and measurement methods.

In these statements the minority interest in the Group's consolidated subsidiaries and their income statement have been presented separately.

(d) Recognition of revenue and expenses

Net sales

Net revenue represents the total value of goods sold and services provided during the year net of value added tax.

Interest income

The Company presents interest income in the Profit and loss account prior to calculation of gross profit, as this income is related to the basic activities of the Company - charging interest for loans issued in return to pledge held as security or loans issued on other conditions. Interest income is recognised using accruals principle. Interest income is not recognised from the moment the recoverability of principal is considered doubtful. Penalty interest is recognised on a cash basis.

Other income

Other income is recognised based on accruals principle.

Penalties and similar income

Of collection exists, is recognised based on cash principle.

Expenses

Expenses are recognised based on accruals principle in the period of the moment of payment. Expenses related to financing of loans is recognised in the period of liability origination and included in the profit and similar expenses".

(e) Foreign currency translation

EUR EUR
1 USD 1.08870 1.21410

Financial instruments - key measurement terms (f) =

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. Fair values of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative financial instruments in active markets are based on quoted market prices. If the market for a financial asset or liability is not active (and for unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of tiscounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and recent comparative transactions as appropriate and may require the application of management and estimates. Where, in the opinion of the Management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities differ materially from their book values are separately disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents (including employees acting agents), advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.

Amortised cost is the amount at which instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any principal recayments plus accued interest and for financial assets less any write-down for incurred interest includes amorisation of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method. Accrued interest income and acrued including both accrued coupon and amortised discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any are not presented separately and are included in the carrying values of related tiems on the balance shee.

The effective interest method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The rate that exacty discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument options) but does not consider future credit loses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.

Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities (q)

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and ne reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the liability simultaneously.

Intangible assets and fixed assets (h)

All intangible assets and fixed assets are intally measured at cost. Intangible assets are recorded at historic cost net of depreciation and permanent diminution is calculated on a straight-ine basis to write down each assel to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:

vears

Buildings 20
Constructions 5
Intangibles 3 - 5
Other fixed assets 3 - 5
Low value inventory (worth over 71 EUR)

The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed adjusted annually. Fixed asset and intangibles recognition is terminated in case of its liquidation or when no future benefits are expected in connection with the utilisation of the respective asset. Any profit or loss connected with the termination of recognition (calculated as difference between the disposal gains and net book value as at the moment of dereognition), is recognised in the profit or loss account in the period when derecognition occurs. Leasehold improvements are written down on a straight-line basis over the esimated useful life of the leasehold improvement and the term of the lease. Current repairs and marged to profit and loss account in the period when the respective costs are incurred.

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the net fair value of share of equity acquired. The recognised goodwill is reassessed at least on an annual basis to make sure no permanent diminution in value has occurred. In case such diminution in value is identified, the diminution in value is recognised in the income statement of the respective year.

Investments in the associated companies

In the financial statements the investments in associated companies are carried at equity method. Under this method the value of the investment at the balance sheet date comprises the value of the associated company corresponding to the share of investment and the book value of the positive goodwill arising at the acquisition of the investment.

At the year-end the amount of the reported item is increased by reference to the Company's share in the profit or loss of the associated company during the year (in the post-acquisition period), or other changes in equity, as well as by the reduction of the goodwill arising at acquisition to its recoverable amount. Unrealsed profit on inter-company transactions is presented in the year following the reporting year in which the shareholders adopt a decision on profit distribution.

Notes (continued) Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of assets (i)

Intangible assets which are not put into operation or which do not have a useful life are not amortised; their value is reviewed annually. The value of the assets subject to depreciation is reviewed whenever any events or circumstances support that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognised in the difference between the carying value of the asset and its recoverable amount is the higher of the respective asset's fair value less the costs to sell and the value in use. In order to determinent, assets are grouped based on the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flow (cash generating units).

(k) Segments

A geographical segment provices within a particular economic environment that is subject to other economic environments characterized by different risks and benefits. A business segment is a share of assets and operations, products and services that are subject to other business segments of different risks and benefits.

(1) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or measured using the weighted FIFO method. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that inventories are impaired and makes provisions for slowmoving or damaged inventories Inventories loss is recognised in the period such loss is identified, writing off the relevant inventory values to the period profit and loss account.

(m) Seized assets

Collateral is repossessed following the forecloure on loans that are in default. Seized assets are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value and reported within "Inventories",

(n) Trade and other receivables

Accounts receivable comprise loans and other debtors, advances and deposits) that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Loans are carried at amortised cost is defined as the fair value of cash consideration given to originate those loans. All bans and recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers and dereognised on repayments. The Company has granted constomers throughout its market area. The economic condition of the market area may have an impact on the borrowers' ability to repay their debts. Restructured to be past due unless the loan is past due according to the renegotiated terms.

From October 2015 SIA "ExpressCredit" has started issuance of pledges in the form of golden and siver articles) with new lending conditions, that assume 10% case of ban default and subsequent sale of the pledge, i.e., the revenues received by SIA "ExpressCredit" from the sale of the VAT portion. The pledges are made available for sale after 30 days of default, however, they continue to hold the status of the loan recipient has the rights to buy out the pledge before the sale. In the financial statements these pledges are classified as loans issued. In case a surplus originates upon a sale of the pledge and the related costs (loan issued, internediary and holding commissions), the surplus is recognised as the liability of the company to the loan its . The lability expires, if the loan recipient does not claim the 10 year term as defined in Article 1895 of the Civil Code. If the loan recipient has not claimed the surplus within the legally defined time limits, SA "ExpressCredit" recognises the income is outside VAT legislation and is not VAT taxable.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that loans are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount of the allowances for loan inpaiment is assessed as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows including amounts recoverable from collateral discounted at the original effective interest rate. The assessment of the evidence for impairment and the amount of allowances for impairment or its reversal requires the application of management's judgements judgements and estimates consider relevant factors including but not limited to, the identification of non-performing loans (loan repayment schedule compliance), the estimated value of collateral (if taken) as well as other relevant facting loan and recoverability and collateral values. These judgements and estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in which they become known. The Management of the Company have made their best estimates of losses based on objective evidence of impairment and believe those estimates presented in the financial statements are reasonable in light of available information.

When loans cannot be recovered they are written off and charged against allowances for loan impairment losses. They are not written off until all the necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is finally determined.

The provision in the allowance account is reversed if the estimated recovery value exceeds the carrying amount.

Notes (continued) Accounting policies (continued)

Trade and other receivables (continued)

In accordance with the provisioning policy developed by the Company (for non-secured consumer loans with the term of repayment up to 2 years) provisions are made based on the payment delay analysis at following rates:

Days of delay Provision made
O 0.3%
1-15 6%
16-30 18%
31-60 32%
61-90 42%
91-180 47%

360-720 92%
721+ 100%

Provisions for interest income debts is made in accordance with the policies set by the management of the Company. In accordance with the provisioning policy the Company calculates the provision required based on prior experience of loan volumes that turn out to be doubliful and the statistics of recoverability of such debts. The provision for interest accrued is made in accordance with the provisioning policies set by the management making sure that cash flows from interest receivable are excluded from cash flows used as the basis for rincipal recoverability testing.

The recoverability of other debtors, advances and deposits paid is valued on individual basis if there are any indications of net book value of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount.

Finance lease (0)

Where the property, plant and equipment are acquired under a finance lease arrangement and the Company takes over the related risks and rewards, the property, plant and equipment items are measured at the value at which they could be purchased for an immediate payment. Leasing interest is charged to the profit and loss in the period in which it arises.

(p) Operating leases

Company is a lessor

The type of lease in which the lessor retains a significant part of the risks and rewards pertaining to ownership, is classified as operating lease. Lease payments and prepayments for a lease (net of any financial incentives received from the lessor) are opofit and loss under a straight-line method over the lease term.

Taxes (q)

Deferred tax is provided for using liability method on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The principal temporary offerences anse from depreciation of property, plant and equipment at different rates and tax losses carried forwards. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that recovery is probable.

(r) Provisions for unused annual leave

The amount of provision for unused annual leave is determined by multiplying the average daily pay of employees during the last 6 months by the number of accrued but unused annual leave days the end of the reporting year. The vacation provisions with paid out till the date of annual report preparation and treats them as CIT deductible in the reporting neriod.

(s) Borrowings

Intially borrowings are recognised at the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost which is determined using the effective interest method. The proceeds reonively, ne of transaction costs and the redemption value of the borrowing is gradually recognized in the profit and loss account over the term of the borrowing.

(t) Cash and cash equivalents

(u1.1) foreign currency risk;

(u1.2) credit risk;

(u1.3) operational risk:

(u1.4) market risk;

(u1.5) liquidity risk;

(u1.6) cash flow and interest rate risk.

The Company's overall risk management is focused on the uncertainty of financial markets and aims to reduce its adverse effects on the Company's financial indicators. The Finance Drector is responsible for risk management. The Finance Director identifies, assesses and seeks to find solutions to avoid financial risks acting in close cooperation with other structural units of the Combany.

(v1.1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates mainly in the local market and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is low. With the current income-expense structure additional monitoring procedures for currency risk monitoring are not beens and one hans is are used on the account that the overall currency risk has been assessed as low.

(v1.2) Credit risk

The Company has a credit risk concentrational specifics = issuance of loans against pledge, as well as issuance of non-secured loans that is connected with an increased risk of asset recoverability. The risk may result in short-term liquidity problems and issues related to timely coverage of short-term liabilities. The Company's policies are developed in order to ensure maximum control procedures in the process of loan issuance, timely identification of bad and adequate provisioning for potential loss.

(v1.3) Operational risk

Operational risk is a loss risk due to external factors namely (natural disasters, crimes, etc.) or internal ones (1T system crash, fraud, violation of laws or internal requlations, insufficient internal control). Operation of the Company carries a certain operational risk which can be managed using several methods to identify, analyse, report and reduce the operational risk. Also self-assessment of the operational risk is carried out as systematic approval of new products is provided to ensure the products and processes with the risk environment of the activity.

(v1.4) Market risk

The Company is exposed to market risks, basically related to the fluctuations of interest rates between the loans granted and funding received, as well as demand for the Company attempts to limit market risks, adequately planning the expected cash flows, diversifying the product range and fixing funding resource interest rates.

(v1.5)Liquidity risk

The Company complies with the prudence principle in the management of its liquidity risk and maintains sufficient funds.

(v1.6) Cash flow interest rate risk

As the Company has borrowings and finations, the Company's cash flows related to financing costs to some extent depend on the changes in market rates of interest payment related cash flows depend on the current market rates of interest. The risk of fluctuating interest rates is partly averted by the fact that a number of loans received have fixed interest rates set. Additional risk minimization measures are not taken because the available bank products do not provide an effective control of risks.

(v2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments

The Company does not actively use derivative in its operations. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date of the contract, and are thereafter measured at fair value at the . Derivative financial instruments are carried as assets if their fair value is positive. Any gains or losses arising due to the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument are not classified hedges and are recognized directly in the profit and loss.

(v3) Fair value

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value. See also note (e)

  • The Company review the useful lives of its fixed assets at the end of each reporting period. The management makes estimates and uses assumptions with respect to the useful lives of fixed assumptions may change and the calculations may therefore change.
  • The Company review the value of its fixed assets and intangible assets whenever any events or circumstances support that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised in the amount equalling the differn coal be carn ing value of the asset and its recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair universes the costs to sell ynd the value in use. The Company is of the view that considering the anticipated volumes of services no material adjustments are to impairment are required the asset values.
  • In measuring inventories the management relies on its experience, background information, and potential assumptions and possible future circumstances. In assessing the imparisment of the value of inventories consideration is given to the possibility to sell the item of inventories and the net realisable value.
  • The Company's management, based on estimates, makes provisions for the impairment of the value of receivables. The Company's management is of the provisions for receivables presented in the financial statements accurately reflect the expected cash flows from these receivables and that these estimates have been mate based on the bootlation information.
