All data in the report (unless otherwise stated) covers the period January - March, 2020, and the comparative data presents the same period of 2019. All figures are presented in thousands PLN, unless stated otherwise.
As at the end of first quarter of 2020, the number of sports cards amounted to 1,548.9 thousand, of which 1,177.5 thousand were issued to employees in Poland and 371.4 thousand to users on the foreign markets. As at the end of March 2020, companies with the Benefit Systems Capital Group as the major shareholder operated in aggregate 163 sports facilities in the Polish segment. Users increasingly often choose the MultiSport Card due to its highly attractive offer and the favourable locations of the partner facilities. The Group also operates 15 clubs in the Czech Republic, 9 clubs in Bulgaria and 1 in Slovakia, supporting product development on new markets
The Cafeterias segment may boast more than 482 thousand enrolled Users, with the Sports category invariably remaining their preferred non-payroll benefits on the cafeteria e-platforms.
The Benefit Systems Capital Group specializes in providing employers with effective solutions in terms of employee-dedicated non-payroll benefits. The strategy of the Parent Company is closely related to the strategy of the Capital Group. It envisages, among other things, organic development of the Group in Poland and abroad, supporting the sports cards product by development of the fitness infrastructure, growth in the number of active sports cards in Poland, dynamic development of active sports cards on foreign market and sustainable growth of Users of the cafeterias segment and the building of the competitive advantage by making the products of the Group more attractive.
The corporate social responsibility and sustainable development are also an indispensable element of the business activity of the Group. In September 2018, Benefit Systems as Central and Eastern Europe's first public company was awarded the B Corp. certificate. The B Corporation community groups organizations that have written the corporate social responsibility rules into their business model, engage into solving specific social problems and their functioning is based on the win-win partnership cooperation model they apply to all their stakeholders.
The Group's flagship product is the MultiSport programme, which has been successfully developed both in Poland and on foreign markets, as confirmed, among other things, by a constantly growing number of sports cards.
The key goals of a long-term and stable development of the Benefit Systems Group include the maintaining of an attractive product in Poland and its development on other markets as well as a continued development of the sports and recreation infrastructure for the benefit of sports cards Users.
Since 2019, the Benefit Systems Group has been operating in three (3) segments:
• The Poland segment, which is responsible for the sale of sports cards and for the building of its own sports infrastructure by way of managing and investing into fitness clubs on the Polish market. The sports cards allow
access to a broad range of over 4.6 thousand sports and recreation facilities, a part of which are owned and operated by the subsidiaries of the Group.
• The Foreign segment is responsible for the sale of sports cards and for the building of the Group's own infrastructure by way of managing fitness clubs on foreign markets and investing into them.
• The Cafeterias is a modern and flexible channel for distribution of non-payroll benefits representing not only sports, but also cultural, touristic and other types of activities.
The minimum rate of physical activity recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for adults is 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intensive physical effort weekly. Reduction of immobility in daily life translates into reduction of the risk of diabetes, heart diseases and obesity. According to surveys, growth in the BMI index currently affects 40 percent of those aged 25 - 29, 55 percent of those aged 35 - 39 and over 65 of those over 50. In spite of a steady growth in the percentage of overweight and/or obese Poles, only 39 percent of Poles consider it a problem (MultiSport Index 2019).
Increasingly often it is employers who join the fight against the sedentary lifestyle, who encourage activity among their employees. Already in 2017, as many as 80 percent of companies declared that they intended to expand their offer of non-payroll benefits that support physical activity of their employees in the following three years (Poland Benefits Trends Survey, Willis Towers Watson). Even employees themselves can see how their health condition benefits from physical activity. Currently, as many as 28 per cent of them consider sports as an important component of disease prevention strategy. Employees' awareness in terms of promotion of active lifestyle can also influence their acceptance of a job offer - as many as two in five employees are only considering working for those who see employee health and wellbeing as a priority.
In connection with the COVID-19 epidemic, since the governmental authorities announced (Regulation of the Minister of Health of 13 March 2020) closure of sports facilities and fitness clubs, many Poles take advantage of on-line instruction while exercising at home. Figures from the Google Trends show that in March 2020, hits for phrase "exercising at home" in the browsers grew by as much as 200 percent y-o-y (i.e. than in March 2019).
In the opinion of experts, given the state of pandemic and harsher restrictions to move, physical activity at home becomes of key importance not only for physical health but also for the psychical well-being, which often comes to be tested at the time of social distancing. Survey by Open Research shows that as many as 65 percent of Poles have had to cope with negative emotions during the quarantine, suffered more frequently by women (72 percent) than men (58 percent). Research analysis carried out under the guidance of doctor Felipe Schucha, Ph.D. (published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in April 2018) also proved that engaging in physical activity (at least 150 minutes a week) reduces, by as much as 22 percent, the risk of depression.
Due to the present situation, large numbers of workers carry out official duties from home, thus contributing to a significant blurring of the work-rest line. International study "State of Remote Report 2020" shows that as many as 18 percent of those working remotely have problems with the demarcation of the work and non-work time, struggling the feeling of being at work all the time, whereby 12 percent of respondents reported problems with keeping focus on work performed from home. Nearly 30 percent of Poles who work remotely have a feeling that professional activities consume much more time than they would have they worked at an office. Work ergonomics has increasingly become a problem. Many Poles do not have conditions that would allow them to work from a home office. Lack of physical exercise plus a sedentary lifestyle lead to many illnesses and/or ailments. The data gathered so far are not very optimistic. As many as seven in ten professionally active Poles spend approx. two thousand hours sitting annually (source: surveys by Nowa Era Motywacji, Hays Poland, Mind & Sould Business).
The effectiveness of benefits that support daily functioning of employees has become of key importance. In addition to an abundant on-line offer of sports activities offered as part of the MultiSport programme, for the time of epidemic, employees will also receive access to cafeterias plans allowing them to acquire attractive products or services via Internet. On the other hand, according to Benefit Systems's own analyses, in the time of pandemic, the popularity of diet-supporting educational materials supplementing the sports offer that helps building employees' resilience has doubled.
Since mid-March 2020, MultiSport's offer was significantly extended by on-line solutions, including sports trainings, also with the participation of coaches running on-line classes at partners' facilities, professional dietary plans and cooking workshops, as well as English learning programme. In the leisure time, MultiSport provides access to ebooks and audiobooks, as well as sports animations for parents and children and stories for the latter. As of 11 May, users may also take advantage of singular expert articles discussing HR topics in monthly magazine published by Benefit Systems and webinars on management solutions and strategies. A special zone with educational materials on how to reduce stress including a course on mindfulness and meditation trainings was made available in May.
Benefit Systems Group is comprised of Benefit Systems S.A., responsible for the sale of sport cards in Poland, as well as entities operating on the non-payroll employee benefits market and sports market. Currently, only in the Polish Sports Cards segment, over 16,500 companies and institutions are customers of Benefit Systems Group.
Benefit Systems S.A. has been listed on the main trading floor of the Warsaw Stock Exchange since April, 2011. The flagship product of Benefit Systems Group is the MultiSport Programme, which provides access to over 4,600 of the best and most popular sports facilities in approximately 650 towns and cities throughout Poland. Benefit Systems Group also offers other sports cards, for example, the FitProfit card, described in the further part of the report. In total there are over 1,177.5 thousand users in Poland and 371.4 thousand users abroad of the sports products alone from Benefit Systems Group. The MultiSport programme enable a holder to lead an active, and thus a healthy lifestyle since 2004, and due to broad offer suited for various needs, it became the quality and standard synonym on the market.
With a view to support the dynamic development of the flagship product, the Benefit Systems Group has been investing into the fitness market thus providing an appropriate infrastructure for the holders of the MultiSport cards. In accordance with a survey carried out by the Benefit Systems Group, one half (50%) of the cards issued by the Group goes to rookie users. This means that fitness clubs and other sports facilities get several thousand new customers annually. Thanks to investing into companies operating fitness clubs, the Benefit Systems Group can guarantee the sports cards users well outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment sports clubs offering a wide range of professional services.
Benefit Systems Group also offers the MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria cafeteria platforms, which give employees a choice of any non-wage employee benefits from a list accepted by their employer. From the Group's perspective cafeteria platforms are predominantly a distribution channel for the main product – sport cards. Cafeteria systems include the Benefit Systems Group's own products, such as the MultiBilet cultural and entertainment programme,
allowing users to watch any of the films offered in hundreds of cinemas throughout Poland, the MultiTeatr programme offering tickets to the most popular theatrical performances, and the BenefitLunch programme with its dining offer for employees
The concept of the MultiSport Programme supported by investments into the fitness sector is also exploited in the foreign business development. The Benefit Systems Group is already present on the Czech (since 2011), and also on the Slovakian and Bulgarian (since 2015) markets, as well as in Croatia and Greece (since 2018). The aggregate business development potential in the said countries (mainly in the capital cities) may even surmount the capacity of the Polish market.

Table 4: Income Statement of Benefit Systems Group for 1Q 2020
The short-, and medium-term perspectives of the Company and of the Capital Group have been materially impacted by the COVID-19 epidemics in Poland and in the region. In mid-March 2020, on all the markets on which the Capital Group operates, fitness clubs and other sports facilities were closed which materially impacted the possibility of generating income. The Group expects that the lockdown will adversely influence the results of 2Q 2020, and the potential macroeconomic consequences of the COVID-19 epidemics may also affect the results of the Group in 2H 2020.
The main drivers impacting the results of 2Q 2020:
Both in Poland and abroad, the companies of the Capital Group charge no fee for the sports carnets to the customers (B2C) of the fitness chains.
on the Polish market, during the time when the clubs are closed, the MutliSport programme will be based on services provided on-line. Clients and their employees will be able to use rebates or decide to have their cards suspended at that time. The estimated proportion of suspended cards amounts to ca. 70%;
on foreign markets, the MultiSport programme does not provide for services delivered on-line, which naturally limits the possibility of generating income from that area during the lockdown period.
As of the date of the report, the opening of fitness clubs in Poland is planned for 1 June 2020 subject to the sanitary restrictions. The Group is prepared for the opening of the clubs as soon as it is possible and to comply with all the sanitary requirements and ensure safety to the participants.
Fitness clubs have been allowed to resume their activity in the Czech Republic since 27 April 2020. This was the day, on which all the clubs (15) belonging to the companies of the Group were opened (while meeting the required sanitary restrictions). Since the beginning of May, the Czech company resumed charging fees for the MultiSport cards. As of the date of this report, around 50% partner facilities are operating on Czech market (in comparison to around 36% as of 27 April 2020). The number of active sport cards in the Czech Republic (as of 22 May 2020) amounts to 121 thousand cards in comparison to 187 thousand cards in March 2020. During the initial period after club opening MultiSport Benefit S.R.O. company observed increased number of cards deactivations; however, in the last 2 weeks the number of activations surpassed the number of deactivations. Relaxing of some sanitary restrictions since 11 May (among others lifting of the requirement to use protective masks, higher number of users allowed per class) contributed positively to the number of cards activations.
In Bulgaria, fitness clubs have been allowed to resume their activity since 18 May 2020. On that day, all the clubs (9) of the companies of the Group were opened (while observing the required sanitary restrictions). Due to the fact that on account of closure of clubs, a portion of the March revenues has been deferred over time to represent revenues in May, the Bulgarian entity will resume charging fees for the MultiSport cards starting from early June. As of the date of this report, around 70% partner facilities are operating on Bulgarian market
In Croatia, fitness clubs have been allowed to resume their activity as of 13 May 2020. As of that day, the Croatian company resumed charging fees for the MultiSport cards. As of the date of this report, around 89% partner facilities are operating on Croatian market
In Slovakia, fitness clubs are planned to be open on 3 June 2020.
The results of 2Q 2020 will be shaped by the activities taken by the Group on the costs side, which include:
reductions in the costs related to the activity of sports clubs in Poland (in the event that the clubs are closed for the entire month, costs savings are at the level of PLN 14-17 million per month);
short-term restrictions on the costs of sales and overheads in the Capital Group of the Company and savings on the costs directly related to the operation of fitness clubs on foreign markets (the estimated reductions in the monthly scale amount to PLN 5-7 million);
cutting costs in other categories.
In the perspective of 2H 2020, the results of the Company and its Capital Group will depend on the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the labour market and on the private consumption on the markets where the Capital Group operates.
In the long-term, the Group has invariably been upholding its estimates of the potential of sports cards market in Poland at 1.8 million – 2.2 million cards, and has been observing high potential for the development of the MultiSport programme on foreign markets (which currently are in a relatively early phase of growth). Furthermore, the COVID-19 epidemic may, in the long run, contribute to an increased social awareness of protection of health and building resilience, which in turn may generate demand for services related to physical activity which represent the core area of activity of the Group.
The Benefit Systems Group has been presenting its results on the basis of operating segments since 2014. In line with the thresholds defined in IFRS 8, the Benefit Systems Group is obliged to present results of the segments, where the revenues have exceeded the threshold of 10% of the total revenues of the Group; however, acting in response to the needs of various stakeholder groups, the Group has been presenting the segments' data in a broader scope every year.
Since 2019, the Group has been presenting the results on the basis of three (3) core reporting segments: Poland, Foreign and Cafeterias, as well as Other activities and arrangements (other non-segmental operations).
Moreover, since 2020 data for operating segments will be presented at the operating profit level due to the fact that financing activities are established on the Capital Group level. The dominant entity made appropriate restatements to the comparable data that it presents in these Statements.
The revenues of the Segment represented the revenues generated from sales to third-party customers or from transactions with other segments. They can be directly attributed to a specific segment. The costs of the segment include the costs of sales to third-party customers and the costs of transactions with the other segments of the Group. The expenses follow from the operating activity of specific segments and are directly attributable thereto along with a respective portion of the costs of the Capital Group that is clearly attributable to specific segment. The costs of operating segment are reported net of the costs of income tax. Segment's result is established at the operating profit level.

In the period covered by the consolidated financial statements, revenues from sales attributed to the Other activities and arrangements segment primarily include exclusions of intersegment transactions, the cost of the Incentive Programme and other activities not allocated to separate operating segments.
The Poland segment deals in the sales of sports cards and investments into and management of fitness clubs on the Polish market.

Sports cards are one of the most popular benefits in Poland. They are one of the most preferred benefits by the employees – they are expected by more than 50% of job applicants. Sports cards are unique because this single product represents a combination of gains derived therefrom by multiple market participants: for employers, they are an effective tool providing incentives for their employees; they enable the cardholders to take advantage of the diverse offer of multiple sports facilities and activities; and for the sports facility owners the sports cards represent a good complementation of their business. As a result of all of this, the growth tendency of active sports cards continues, given in particular that the market potential remains high since many Poles still do not engage in any sports activity, and employers increasingly often can see that they benefit from their employee's care for their physical condition, and, by the same, their health.
As of the end of 1Q 2020, the Benefit Systems group recorded sports cards increase to level of 1,177.5 thousand cards. During last twelve months it translated into growth by 145.4 thousand cards, i.e. 14.1%.
Considering continued growth in the number of sports Cardholders, the Benefit Systems Group has been investing into fitness clubs, including in particular the Group's own fitness clubs, with a view to securing an adequate base of sports-recreation facilities. Since 4Q 2018, the present subsidiaries [of the Group] operating on the fitness market, which included companies running fitness clubs and sports-recreation facilities, and entities managing investments into fitness clubs, have been undergoing a gradual reorganization consisting in their mergers and inclusion into Benefit Systems S.A., taking the form of a branch. The reorganization process ended on 4 November 2019.
As of the end of 1Q 2020, the Benefit Systems Group managed Polish companies running in aggregate one hundred and sixty-three (163) sports clubs on their own. Additionally, the Group held interests in companies managing additional 48 facilities. As compared to the end of 4Q 2019, the scope of the results consolidated fully to the results
of the Group grew by 2 facilities. The facilities represent the following well-known brands (fitness club chains): Zdrofit, Fabryka Formy, Fitness Academy, My Fitness Place, FitFabric, S4 and AquaPark Wesolandia.

Table 7: Selected financial data from the segment Poland
The revenues of the Polish segment grew by 5.1% y-o-y; i.e. less than in the analogous periods in the past. This was primarily attributable to the impact that restrictions imposed to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, consisting mainly of closing sports facilities as of 14 March 2020, had on the activity of the companies of the segment. On the other hand, the number of active cards higher than as compared to 1Q 2019, as well as development of the support base and of the activity of the own clubs still allowed generating high revenues throughout the period under review. Gross profit on sales grew by 15.7% y-o-y to 2019, which was attributable to both an overall development of the Capital Group and to the impact of the pandemic on the results of the segment.
The growth in the scale of the activity of the segment was attributable to development of various functions at individual companies, which however also contributed to growth in the overheads, primarily in the finance, legal or IT departments. At the same time, the Group initiated activities aimed at curbing both the direct costs of sports facilities and the selling expenses (including the marketing costs) and overheads. The first effects of it could be seen in 1Q 2020.
The period under review, i.e. 1Q 2020, saw incessant pursuing of various marketing campaigns to promote the Group's core product and the activity of its own clubs. In the face of the evolving situation unleashed by the pandemic, the end of 1Q 2020 saw intensive efforts aimed at providing the holders of contracts and carnets to sports facilities with services that could be provided on-line and offering the users of the active sports cards with attractive services. The offer included, among other things, access to an e-book and audiobook library, professional dietary plans, on-line trainings, podcasts with participation of experts, and educational materials. In April 2020, MultiSport card users were also offered individual consultations with sports trainers and dieticians, a platform to learn English and animations dedicated to children. Furthermore, the holders of active cards may participate in online classes of partner facilities of their choice (while other clients have to pay for them).
Other revenues and operating expenses represent reversal of the revaluation reserves, trade receivables as a result of a significant improvements in the debt-collection procedures.
In 1Q 2020, the Polish segment reported a PLN 27.5 million amortisation of the right-of-use assets and PLN 3.9 million interest on lease liabilities.
The segment is comprised of companies that develop the MultiSport programme and companies operating fitness clubs in the foreign markets as a part of the strategy to secure the main product – MS card. MultiSport programme is currently being developed in 5 foreign markets, while fitness clubs are operated in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Slovakia. The segment is comprised of the following companies: Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o., MultiSport Benefit S.R.O, Benefit Systems Bulgaria EOOD, Benefit Systems Slovakia S.R.O., Benefit Systems D.O.O., Benefit Systems Greece MIKE, Fit Invest Bulgaria EOOD, Form Factory S.R.O., Beck Box Club Praha S.R.O., Fit Invest International Sp. z o.o., Fit Invest Slovakia S.R.O. and Benefit Systems, storitve, D.O.O. (established on 25 November 2019).
Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o. is the dominant entity in relation to other segment companies. The results of all listed companies are consolidated using the full method.

Table 8: Selected financial data of foreign segment
Revenues from the Foreign segment grew by 12.2% as compared to the analogous period of 2019 to reach level of PLN 80.8 million. Growth in the number of cards remained at a highly dynamic level. As of the end of March 2020, there were 371.4 thousand active cards, i.e. 106.1 thousand cards y-o-y, representing growth of nearly 40%. In the second week of March 2020, the governments of the countries where the MultiSport cards are offered decided that fitness facilities would be closed, thus rendering provision of the services impossible. Therefore, sales revenues were lower than it might be assumed based on the growth in the number of cards.

* weighted average number of cards for the last month of the period indicated.
The highest dynamics of growth was observed on the Croatian market, where our activity was launched in 2018. The MultiSport programme has been enjoying invariably high appreciation among Partners and Clients. Apart from Poland, the Czech Republic has invariably been the biggest market for the MultiSport programme. In spite that this is a mature market, double-digit growth rates in the number of cards y-o-y can still be observed thanks to a high quality of services offered on the Czech market and an effective strategy of winning over new partners and clients. Bulgaria, with its increase in the number of cards by more than 20 thousand y-o-y, also reported high dynamics of growth.
In Slovakia, growth in the number of cards amounted to 72% as compared to 1Q 2019. This was possible thanks to development of the quality of the sales structures and an effective acquisition of new clients.
The continuous development of partner networks made Foreign segment companies offer available to an increasingly greater number of customers. In 1Q 2020 the number of partners grew by over 1.4 thousand in aggregate vs. year 2019. The number of partner facilities totalled 5.8 thousand.
However, the Foreign segment has also been developing their own network of clubs so that customers can be offered top quality services. As of the end of 1Q 2020, the Foreign segment had 25 clubs on three markets. 1Q 2020 saw the opening of one club in Bulgaria.

Table 10: Number of fitness clubs operated by the Group in foreign markets.
1Q 2020 also saw growth in the revenues from fitness clubs, even though the decision to close clubs in mid-March dictated by the COVID-19 pandemics situation seriously impacted the revenues generated by the fitness segment. Even though clubs had to remain closed for more than two weeks in March, the revenues for 1Q 2020 surpassed those for the analogous period in 2019.
A growth in the selling expenses and overheads in 1Q 2020 was attributable, among other things, to development of the sales structures and a growing number of cards, which, in turn, generated the need to increase headcounts in the administrative departments that are responsible for customer support. However, the dynamics of the growth in the revenues still prevails over the dynamics of the growth in the costs of sales and overheads.
In 1Q 2020, the Foreign segment reported amortisation of the right-of-use assets at PLN 5.7 million and interest on lease liabilities at PLN 0.4 million.
The Cafeterias segment is responsible for development of the MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria cafeteria platforms which offer a vast range of products and services, including the Benefit Systems Group's own products. The offer of the cafeteria platforms is focused on non-payroll benefits in the area of culture, entertainment, sports, recreation, catering, education, wellness, leisure, and the domestic and foreign tourism. Available are also shopping vouchers of Polish renowned chain stores and brands, courses, trainings and gastronomic offers. The benefits are delivered
by proven providers, and the partnership network, which continues to develop, already groups a few thousand entities. In Cafeterias Segment on 31 December 2019 MultiBenefit Sp. z o.o. merged with MyBenefit Sp. z o.o. by way of its acquisition by MyBenefit Sp. z o.o.
MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria platforms allow employee users to freely choose from among the benefits offered by the platforms within limited ranges and budgets as defined by employers. Users can choose benefits directly from Cafeteria - a web platform in which each user has an individual account. The popularity of the solution, which allow full control of the spent benefits and settlement of accounts thereof in a simple manner, ranges from production, service and trade companies to financial and governmental institutions with sizes of employment ranging from fifty to several thousand persons. The Cafeteria programmes include benefits ranging from sports and health to tourism and culture combined with shopping vouchers of Polish renowned chain stores and brands. The Cafeterias segment is also an important distribution channel for Sports Cards offered by the Group.
A Cinema programme MultiBilet is an independent part of the cultural and entertainment programme offered by the Group. MultiBilet offers tickets to over 200 partner cinemas in all of Poland (including in particular: Cinema City, Helios and Multikino, in addition to many local cinemas).
QlturaProfit Voucher offered by Vanity Style company grants access to specific theatre spectacles, movie screenings, and exhibitions forming parts of the cultural offer of approximately 50 theatres, 190 cinemas, 50 museums and 28 thematic parks across Poland
Apart from the Cafeteria platforms and the Cinema Programme in Group's offer there are:

Table 11: Selected financial data from the Cafeterias segment
* On the basis of bookkeeping notes, invoices and bills issued by cafeteria platforms: MultiKafeteria and MyBenefit.
As of the end of 1Q 2020, cafeteria-style e-platforms: MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria, were grouping nearly 483 thousand Users, whose number grew by 93 thousand y-o-y. Such high growth in the number of Users by nearly one fourth part has translated into growth in the turnovers generated by the cafeteria platforms by 15.1% and revenues of the segment by 56.4% y-o-y.
The structure of sales of the benefits offered via the distribution channel discussed at this point shows that the Sports category invariably enjoys the greatest success. In the 2020 period under review, Sports have already accounted for 52% of turnover of the e-platforms
Increase in the own costs of sales in the portion of fixed costs allocated to this item. The foregoing was attributable to a higher level of employment in the Cafeterias segment by 26% y-o-y, in particular in the product development and customer service departments, and higher investments into technologies supporting sales and customer service.
Total indirect expenses of the Cafeterias segment grew by PLN 0.8 million, which was primarily attributable to personnel costs resulting from increased level of employment and costs of development of new projects and services that will be continued over subsequent calendar quarters of 2020.
Higher level of employment in the sales, marketing departments and in the key account support team of the Cafeterias segment, as well as increased outlays on promotion and communication with customers and users of the Cafeteria platform have contributed to growth of the selling expenses by ca. PLN 0.1 million.
Increase in the general and administrative expenses by PLN 0.7 million results from increase in the scope of activity contributing to development of more complex administrative or reporting structures.
Inclusion of construction in progress in company's assets resulted in the growth of depreciation by PLN 0.5 million. The said projects were aimed at development and modernisation of the Cafeterias System with the intention to make the IT solutions more attractive for users.
In the period preceding its takeover by MyBenefit Sp. z o.o (31.12.2019), MultiBenefit Sp. z o.o. re-analysed its role in the sales of the Cafeterias benefits in the context of the extent of risk incurred by the both parties. An analysis showed that in a significant part of the transaction, the Company acts as an agent (in particular, sale of the MultiBilet, sale of the BenefitLunch) and, therefore, in accordance with IFRS 15, the Company should only present, in the Revenues, a commission fee (or margin) on its acting as an intermediary in the trading in specific benefits. Therefore, the presentation of the revenues and expenses of the Company for year 2019 was adjusted without any effect on the results of the Company and of the Group
In 1Q 2020, the Cafeterias segment reported amortisation of the right-of-use assets at PLN 0.4 million and interest on lease liabilities at PLN 0.04 million.

In the period under review, growth in the financial income was largely attributable to positive foreign exchange differences, which resulted from a revaluation of the loans extended in foreign currencies by the dominant Company and by Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o. due to significant fluctuations (+ PLN 4.6 million) in the FX rates and a revaluation of the contingent payment liabilities (+ PLN 4.0 million).
Significant items of financial costs include foreign exchange differences attributable to the translation of the values of lease contracts settled in foreign currencies, due to a considerable rise in the foreign exchange rate of EUR ( - PLN 44.5 million) and the costs of interest on lease liabilities ( - PLN 4.3 million) (1Q 2019: - PLN 8.6 million). A lower value of lease liabilities than in the analogous period of year 2019 was attributable, among other things, to the revaluation of the discount rates applied to contract settlement.
In 1Q 2020, the Group reported its participation of PLN 0.8 million in the profit of the entities accounted for using the equity method, i.e. Langmedia Sp. z o.o. (PLN 411 thousand), Instytut Rozwoju Fitness Sp z o. o. (PLN 400 thousand) and X-Code sp. z o.o. (PLN 74 thousand).

As of the end of 1Q 2020, non-current assets of the Benefit Systems Group amounted to PLN 1,794.5 million, which was less by PLN 10.3 million as compared to 31 December 2019. The balance of the right-of-use assets significantly dropped (- PLN 24.5 million), of which PLN 21.3 million was attributable to the Fitness Segment of Benefit Systems S.A., as a result of recognizing amortisation of assets under leases and equipment lease contracts, which, in turn, was partially offset by the recognizing of new assets following execution of new lease contracts to equip clubs with additional fitness equipment. As of the end of the period under review, drop in the value of the Tangible fixed assets by PLN 3.8 million was reported primarily due to lower expenditures resulting from a small number of new club openings, so the expenditures have not surpassed the amortisation and depreciation recognized for the period.
The balance of the deferred income tax asset grew mainly as an effect of increase of lease liabilities due to FX differences (+ PLN 12.4 million, of which + PLN 10.2 million at Benefit Systems S.A.). Growth in the intangible assets (PLN 3.5 million) was also recorded. Growth in intangible assets is primarily attributable to development of the functionalities of the cafeterias platforms with MyBenefit Sp. z o.o.
Investments into affiliates grew by PLN 0.9 million, which corresponds to the value of the Group's share in the result of the said companies in 1Q 2020. Items: Trade liabilities, and Loans, grew by PLN 0.9 million and by PLN 0.7 million, respectively.
A significant growth in current assets as compared to end of 2019 (+ PLN 92.5 million) resulted, primarily, from growth in the balance of cash and cash equivalents with most of the companies of the Capital Group. The value of the item grew by PLN 119.8 million across the entire Capital Group. To a significant extent, this is an effect of deferment of a portion of payments due, among other things, as income tax, as a result of introduction of tax credit by the Polish government to counteract the effects of pandemic. At the same time, a significant drop in the trade receivables by PLN 21.8 million was observed. The reasons for this should be primarily attributed to the seasonal character of the Cafeterias Segment. for which the peak of activity and the resulting leap in value always falls in the end of year.
As compared to the status as of 31 December 2019, the total value of the liabilities of the Group grew by PLN 82.4 million, which was primarily attributable a higher, by PLN 90.5 million, balance of item: loans, borrowings, and other debt instruments, which was largely due to execution of loan agreement by the dominant Company in January 2020. Concurrently, the aforementioned growth was offset by redemption of notes issued by Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o at PLN 30.3 million.
The period under review saw growth in the balance of lease liabilities as a result of recalculation of the contracts indexed to EUR. After recognizing of repayments made in the period under review, the value of the item grew in total by PLN 19.6 million.
Drop in the value of trade liabilities and other liabilities by PLN 29.6 million as compared to end of year 2019 is, among other things, an effect of repayment of the liability for the buy-back of shares in a subsidiary and a lower than as of the end of the preceding year, balance of liabilities of MyBenefit Sp. z o.o. This was attributable to the seasonal character of the business pursued by the Cafeterias Segment and to a concurrent growth in the value of trade liabilities of the dominant Company as a consequence of the steps taken by the latter with a view to extending the deadlines for payment of liabilities as part of management of the liquidity of the Group.
Income Tax Liability and Reserve grew by PLN 6.9 million, and short-term accrued charges were lower by PLN 0.5 million.

The aim of the programme is to create an incentive system that will promote efficient and loyal work aimed at achieving high financial results and a long-term increase in the value of the Parent company. Under this Programme, eligible employees receive subscription warrants, which are convertible into shares of the parent company. During the Incentive Programme for the period 2017-2020 its participants (at most 149 people) will be able to receive a maximum of 100,000 subscription warrants (which after conversion into shares will represent 3.38% of the share capital of the parent company, increased by the maximum number of warrants), which will give an entitlement to subscribe to the specific number of shares in the parent company at their nominal value in four equal tranches.
The condition for acquiring rights to subscribe for the warrants is to meet the three criteria:
The necessary condition for initiating the Incentive Programme in a given year is the attainment of a specific level of pre-tax profit (the programme for the years 2017-2020) adjusted for the book cost of the programme attributable to the financial year. The options granted may be exercised up to 30 September, 2021.
The assumptions of the Incentive Programme for the period 2017-2020 were adopted in the form of a resolution at the Annual General Meeting on 15 June, 2016.

The expected share volatility was estimated on the basis of historical quotations of shares of the Dominant Entity on the Warsaw Stock Exchange for the period of 21/02/2019- 20/02/2020 (options for 2020).
The Parent Company has not recognized the cost of the Programme for 2020, as the Management Board of the Dominating Entity evaluates, that there is no certainty, that the required 50% threshold of adjusted consolidated pre-tax profit (Table 22) will be met.
Total cost of the Programme recognized in the reporting period amounted to PLN 924 thousand and corresponded to revaluation of the II tranche of warrants granted for 2019 on 9 January 2020 (the difference between provision included in 2019 and actual settlement in 2020).
In current report of 31 March 2020, and in the Management Board's Report on the activity of the Capital Group of Benefit Systems for year 2019 (Chapter 1.3), the Group announced an anticipated materially adverse effect of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the results of 2Q 2020 and a relatively minor impact of the pandemic on the results of 1Q 2020. Also, in line with projections, in 1Q 2020, the operating profit was higher as compared to that of 1Q 2019. Lower profit before tax is primarily attributable to the depreciation of PLN, which led to the recognizing, in 1Q 2020, of significant negative currency translation differences on account of revaluation of lease liabilities from lease contracts indexed to EUR.
The industry in which the Capital Group operates is characterised by seasonality. Traditionally, in the third calendar quarter (coinciding with the 3rd quarter of the financial year of the Group), the activity of the holders of sports cards and carnets is lower than in 1Q, 2Q, and 4Q, which, on general, has an effect on the revenues and profitability of the activities related to sales of sports cards and to the operating of fitness clubs. However, due to the ongoing pandemic and temporary closure of fitness clubs and other sports facilities, the seasonality factor affecting so far the results of the Group will not be reflected in the results for years 2020.
In 1Q 2020 and in the period until publication of this Report, Benefit Systems S.A. and BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. executed: a PLN 70 million agreement for non-revolving loan; and a 30 PLN million multi-purpose credit line agreement.
Pursuant to the non-revolving loan agreement, the loan will be available for 12 months from the agreement execution date and may be spent on the investments falling in line with the strategy of the Benefit Systems Group. The lending period amounted to 48 months from the date of execution of the loan agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the multi-purpose credit line may be used to finance the current business activity for 12 months from the agreement execution date. The agreements were executed with a view to diversifying the sources of financing.
In 1Q 2020, the Group procured loans from entities or institutions for a total amount of PLN 241.2 million, of which PLN 109.7 million represented loans from affiliated entities.
In 1Q 2020, the Group extended loans totalling PLN 110.0 million, including loans of PLN 109.7 million to subsidiaries. Information on the principal amounts, interest and maturity of loans extended:

|---|---|---|---|
| Loans to non-affiliated MultiSport partners |
From 10/01/2024 to 10/03/2025 | WIBOR 3M + margin |

In the period under review, the Group also stood sureties and extended guarantees to subsidiaries and affiliates.

In the period under review, Benefit Systems S.A. and the companies of its Capital Group neither stood suretyship for a loan incurred from an entity or institution nor extended a guarantee to an entity or such entity's subsidiary, whereby the total value of such suretyships and/or guarantees would be significant with respect to the level of Benefit Systems S.A.'s equity. The significant level of equity value was adopted in accordance with the Individual Reporting Standards which have been in place since July 2016, on the basis of which a significant level of equity is recognized at the threshold of 10% of the equity of the Dominant Entity as established on the basis of the most recently published annual consolidated financial statements.
The above-described contingent liabilities were incurred by the companies of the Polish segment. The main reasons behind them are payments on account of leases for fitness equipment and rent payment guarantees. The growth in the value of guarantees in the period under review follows from an increased number of guarantees extended in pace with the growing number of new fitness clubs within the structures of the Group, and, consequently, new liabilities requiring a guarantee and from EUR rate appreciation in comparison to the rate at the end of 2019.
During the period under review, the Benefit Systems Group did not enter into any transaction with its affiliates the value of which, whether separately or in aggregate, might be significant, or that were concluded otherwise than at arm's length.
On 22 June, 2018, the explanatory activities that the President of the OPCC had been conducting since November 2015, were transformed into proceedings against the Company.
On 29 June, 2018, the dominant Company was notified that the Chairman of the OCCP initiated antimonopoly proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A. and against fifteen other undertakings in connection with a suspicion of a scheme that could result in a limitation of the competition on the local or the national market for fitness services or on other relevant markets. The proceedings also involved six (6) managers, one (1) of whom worked for the Capital Group of Benefit Systems. The proceedings pertain to issues dating back to 2012-2015.
The dominant Company disagrees with the objections raised by the Chairman of OCCP and, on 27 July, 2018, submitted their reply, in which, in addition to taking a detailed stance on specific objections, described a positive role that the Company has been playing on the Polish market for fitness services.
In accordance with the regulations, a penalty potentially imposed on the dominant Company may be as high as the equivalent of 10% of the dominant Company's turnover volume in the year preceding issuance of the decision. Additionally, specific members of the dominant Company's Management Board may face individual penalties.
The anticipated deadline to complete the antimonopoly proceedings has already been postponed four times. The company addresses all questions and issues raised by the President of the OCCP. In accordance with law and in line with good practice, the Management Board of the dominant Company will keep the market informed about any subsequent steps taken as part of the proceedings initiated by the OCCP.
Furthermore, on 25 January, 2018, fiscal and customs authorities launched an inspection with the dominant Company on the basis of authorization to carry out fiscal and customs inspection that was obtained from the Head of the Małopolski Customs and Fiscal Office in Kraków. The inspection is aimed at checking compliance with Corporate Income Tax Act of 15 February 1992 in terms of taxation of the income generated in 2012-2016. In their letters of 25 June, 2019, the Head of the Małopolski Customs and Fiscal Office in Kraków presented the outcome of the customs and fiscal inspection regarding taxation of income generated in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and stated that no irregularity was ascertained.
Acting in response to the inquiries received by the dominant Company from the Head of the Małopolski Customs and Revenue Office in Kraków, at the current stage of the inspection, the Dominant Entity is presenting their tax ledgers for 2016 along with the underlying evidence to the inspectors. As of the date of publication of this quarterly report, the inspection has not yet been completed.
In 1Q 2020 the Benefit Systems Capital Group has neither initiated nor was a party to legal proceedings with the total value of claim(s) representing more than 10% of the equity of the Group.
