These interim abridged consolidated financial statements were approved for publication purposes by the Management Board of the parent company on 22 August 2018.

6.2. Basis for preparation and accounting policies

6.2.1. Basis for preparation

The interim abridged consolidated financial statements of the Capital Group which covers the period of six months ended on 30.06.2018 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim abridged consolidated financial statements do not contain all the information that is disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements that are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These abridged interim consolidated financial statements should be read jointly with the consolidated financial statements of the Capital Group for year 2017.

The currency of these interim abridged financial statements is PLN, and all the figures are expressed in PLN thousands, unless provided otherwise.

The interim abridged consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the assumption that the companies of the Group would continue to operate as going concerns in the foreseeable future. As of the date of approval of these interim abridged consolidated financial statements for publication purposes, there are no circumstances that would indicate any threats to the continuity of the operations of the member companies of the Group.

6.2.2. Accounting policies

The interim abridged consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that were presented in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Group for year ended on 31 December 2017 and in the analogous interim period of the

preceding year save for adoption of new and revised standards, as described in Note 6.2.3. The new accounting policies that have been applied as of 1.01.2018 are described below.

(i) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group implemented the IFRS 15 standard as of 1 January 2018. Due to the fact that prior to implementation of the standard, the Group recognized the revenues in the amount equal to the transaction price at the time of transfer of the services to the customer, the services are not sold in packages, and there is no rebate or discount on sale items, a right to return or an insurance, implementation of the new standard has no material effect on the accounting policy of the Company. The Company does not act as an intermediary, but rather is the main provider of the services.

The new five-degree model makes recognizing of the revenue dependant on transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer in the amount equal to the transaction price. All the goods or services sold in packages that can be separated as part of the package should be recognized separately; furthermore, all the rebates or discounts applicable to the transaction price should be on principle allocated to individual components of the package. Pursuant to the new standard, in the event that the amount of the revenue is variable then variable amounts are classified into revenue if there is high likelihood that as a result of revaluation no reversal of recognition of the revenue occurs in future. Furthermore, in accordance with IFRS 15, costs incurred with a view to acquiring and securing a contract with a customer should be activated and cleared over time throughout the period of consuming the benefit derived from the contract.

(ii) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The Group decided to implement the IFRS 9 standard retroactively as of 1 January 2018, and took advantage of the option not to transform the comparative data. Therefore, data for years 2017 and 2018 will not be compared with each other.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting. Therefore, IFRS 9 does not apply in this respect.

Since 1 January 2018, the Company has been classifying financial assets into the following measurement categories:

  • at amortised cost;
  • at fair value through profit and loss;
  • at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The classification depends on the model of management of financial assets, as adopted by the Company and on the contractual terms for cash flows. The Company only reclassifies investment into debt instruments when the model of management of the said assets changes.

Debt instruments are maintained with a view to collecting contractual cash flows which only include repayment of the principal amounts and interest (hereinafter, the "SPPI"), The Group measures [the debt instruments] at amortised cost. The Group performs the SPPI test for the loans granted by comparing the amounts of the principal and interest with a model instrument conforming to IFRS 9. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method and is reported in the Item: Interest income, in: The financial income, section. Impairment allowances are presented in item: Impairment allowances of financial assets.

The Company performs assessment of the expected loan losses in relation to the debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost and at fair value, through other comprehensive income.

The Group does not make use of any third-party instruments such as factoring. As part of analysis of the business model established for the trade receivables, it was determined that

all trade receivables meet the model of being held for the purpose of debt collection; the Group has not and does not plan to sell any trade receivables; all of them are held to maturity. The Group makes assessment whether the classification test conforming to IFRS 9, a so-called SPPI test, has been met, i.e. by checking whether payments for the receivables represent only repayment of the principal and interest. In the event that the test is met, trade receivables are measured at amortised cost.

The Group makes use of a matrix of write-downs in which write-downs are calculated for trade receivables that are classified into different age brackets or overdue periods. Due to high dynamics of growth, the Group carries out an analysis of irrecoverability for the last three years. The analysis involves sales invoices representing the receivables that are broken down into quarterly periods over the period in question, and grouped on the basis of similarity of the characteristics of credit risk. On the basis of the said data, a group of invoices is identified which, during the reporting period, were recognized as irrecoverable, and written down to costs. On the basis of the above, the Group determines the irrecoverability ratio for the following time brackets: up to 180 days, between 180 and 360 days, above 360 days, which it subsequently applies with a view to determining the expected loan loss on the total receivables of the Group as at the balance sheet date.

With respect to receivables on which the Group has made impairment allowances during the year, the following solutions have been adopted with a view to determining additional coefficients of their irrecoverability in future:

  • receivables on which impairment allowances were made, have been divided into two risk groups – fully irrecoverable and irrecoverable in 50%;

  • The ratios have been calculated on the basis of the total gross amount receivable.

At the present moment, the Group has not identified any adverse change on the market that may result in an adverse influence of any future factors on the amount of financial loss. The macroeconomic factors (GDP, unemployment) do not give raise to any premise justifying application of any further portfolio write-downs with regard to the status of receivables as at the balance sheet date.

The Company employs a 3-stage classification of financial assets in terms of loss of their value, except for trade receivables:

  • Stage 1 – balances, with respect to which no significant increase of the credit risk occurred since the time of their initial recognition, and for which the expected loss is identified on the basis of likelihood that the liability will not be satisfied during 12 months (i.e. total expected loan loss multiplied by the likelihood that the loss will occur during the next 12 months);

  • Stage 2 – balances, with respect to which a significant increase of the credit risk did occur since the time of their initial recognition, however, no objective impairment evidence has been identified and for which the expected loss is determined on the basis of likelihood that the liability will not be satisfied throughout the entire contractual life cycle of the asset;

  • Stage 3 – balances with an objective impairment evidence.

The Company classifies trade receivables into Stage 2 or Stage 3:

  • Stage 2 – trade receivables with respect to which a simplified approach has been applied to the measurement of the expected loan loss throughout the entire life cycle of the receivable save for certain trade receivables which are classified into Stage 3;

  • Stage 3 – trade receivables overdue for more than 180 days whereby an objective impairment evidence has been identified.

The financial assets are written down in their entirety or in part when the Company has exhausted all the recovery measures and is aware that no collection of the debts can be reasonably expected, which usually occurs when the asset component has been overdue for more than 360 days.

The Company classifies investments into equity instruments at fair value after initial recognition. The Company chose the option of presenting profits and losses on account of changes in the fair value of equity instruments in the other comprehensive income. Therefore, profits and losses on account of changes in the fair value are not subsequently reclassified into financial income at the time when the investments are no longer recognized.

The Company performs measurement of the expected loan losses related to debt instruments that are measured at the amortised cost and at the fair value through other comprehensive income. The financial assets are written down in their entirety or in part when the Company has exhausted all the recovery measures and is aware that no collection of the debts can be reasonably expected, which usually occurs when the asset component has been overdue for more than 360 days.

6.2.3. New and amended accounting policies adopted by the Company

6.2.3.1. Effect of implementation of IFRS 15

The Company implemented IFRS 15 as of 1 January 2018. Due to the fact that prior to implementing the standard, the Group had recognized the revenues in the amount equal to the transaction price at the time of transfer of services to the customer, the services are not sold in packages, and there is no rebate or discount on sale items, right to return or insurance, implementation of the new standard has no material effect on the accounting policy of the Company. The Company does not act as an intermediary, but rather is the main provider of the services.

6.2.3.2. Effect of implementation of IFRS 9

The Group decided to implement IFRS 9 retroactively as of 1 January 2018, whereby it took advantage of the option not to transform the comparative data. Therefore, figures for years 2017 and 2018 will not be comparable with each other in this respect. Implementation of IFRS 9 resulted in a change of the accounting principles and adjustment of the figures reported in the financial statements. The adjustments attributable to the adaptation to IFRS 9 were introduced as at 1 January 2018 with the influence thereof reflected in the equity. As at the date of these interim financial statements, the Company has completed implementation of IFRS 9 and does not expect any further changes in the assessment of the influence of the standard, which is presented below.

(v) Effect of adjustments on deferred tax

6.2.4. Uncertainty of estimates

When preparing the interim abridged consolidated financial statements, the Management Board of the parent company use their judgment to determine numerous estimations and assumptions that have influence on the applied accounting standards and presented values of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs. Actual values may differ from the estimates of the Management Board.

Information on estimates and assumptions that are material for the consolidated financial statements were presented in the consolidated financial statements for year 2017. Additionally, due to the fact that IFRS 9 was applied, the calculation and measurement of the expected loan losses with respect to the trade receivables is an area that requires material judgment with regard to selection of an appropriate methodology, model and input data. In their model, the Group mainly uses historical information adjusted by the effect of future factors.

The Group has analysed the results of its subsidiaries while taking into consideration its further development plans and has not identified any premises for impairment.

6.2.5. Correction of errors and change of the accounting policies

In 2018, changes in the accounting policies were effected due to implementation of new standards: IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 (Note 6.2.2.).

An adjustment was made that consisted of a presentational change concerning reporting of deferred tax asset and deferred tax provision. In accordance with IAS 12 these items should be offset, if they refer to the same entity. The value of deferred tax asset and deferred tax provision as at 31 December 2017 reached PLN 15 653 thousand and PLN 9 394 thousand, respectively. As a result of the adjustment, these items declined by PLN 7 922 thousand and amount to PLN 7 731 thousand and PLN 1 472 thousand, respectively. After the adjustment, the balance sheet total declined by the value of the adjustment, i.e. PLN 7 922 thousand.

6.3. Material events and transactions

A business entity that, even unintentionally, has violated the prohibition specified in Article 6 of CCPA may face a financial penalty in an amount not exceeding 10% of the revenue generated in the financial year preceding the year in which the penalty was imposed. The penalty is imposed by the President of the OCCP in a respective decision.

The Company disagrees with the objections raised by the President of OCCP and presented its standpoint in the matter at hand within the deadlines set by the President of OCCP. Concurrently, the Issuer announced the risk that the hitherto investigation conducted by the President of OCCP may be transformed into proceedings against the Company and about the risk of imposition of penalty in the Management Board's Report on the Company's Activity and in the Consolidated Report of the Management Board on the Activity of the Capital Group of Benefit Systems for financial year 2017.

As at 30 June 2018, the net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was PLN 220.9 million. The increase of PLN 24.0 million in the value of property, plant and equipment as compared to the end of 2017 results primarily from: investments in new fitness clubs by Zdrofit Sp. z o.o. (PLN 11.0 million), Fitness Place S.R.O. (PLN 10.0 million) consolidation of the subsidiary of Fitness Management Sp. z o.o. (PLN 2.5 million) and purchase of fitness equipment by other subsidiaries.

6.10. Receivables and loans

6.11. Fair value of financial instruments

IAS 34 requires the inclusion in the condensed interim financial statements of selected disclosures from IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 13 Determination of Fair Value. These disclosures concern the fair value of financial instruments by class and by fair value.

During the reporting period, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value of instruments.

The group qualified the put option for the purchase of non-controlling stake in Multisport Benefit SRO to level 3. The fair value of the liability for exercising the put option in the net amount of PLN 25.1 million, recognized on the date of the acquisition, reflects estimated,

probability-weighted present value of cash flows. To determine the fair value, the Management Board of the parent company assumed a 100% probability that the assumed pre-requisite conditions would be met.

Contingent payment for the acquisition of control over Fabryka Formy Sp. z o.o. was classified as a financial liability valued at fair value at the balance sheet date.

The fair value, as of the acquisition date, of the contingent payment liability in the net amount of PLN 10 million reflects the present value of flows weighted by the degree of probability estimated by the Parent Company. To determine the initial fair value, the Management Board assumed 83.33% probability that the assumed conditions will be met.

Valuation of the fair value of the liability of contingent payment for the acquisition of control over Fabryka Formy Sp. z o.o. as of the balance sheet date (PLN 10.0 million) was carried out using the same method, assuming that the probability did not change.

The book value of assets and financial liabilities as of 30 June 2018 does not significantly differ from their fair value.

6.12. Share capital

In May 2018 the parent company issued 184 000 F series ordinary bearer shares. The price was set at PLN 1 035 per share and PLN 190 440 000 in total. During six months of 2018, the parent company did not issue any shares as a result of excercising options granted to employees under the Management Stock Option Program.

As of 30 June 2018 share capital of the parent company amounted to PLN 2 859 thousand (as of 2017 year-end: PLN 2 675 thousand) and was divided into 2 858 842 shares (2017 year-end: 2 674 842) with a nominal value of PLN 1.00 each. All shares have been fully paid up. Alle shares participate equally in profit distribution and each share gives the right to one vote at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The parent company does not excercise voting rights from the 8 448 own shares.

Share capital as at the balance sheet date was as follows:

30.06.2018 31.12.2017
Number of shares 2 858 842 2 674 842
Nominal value of shares (PLN) 1 1
Share capital 2 858 842 2 674 842

6.13. Long-term pre-payments (liabilities)

As at 30 June 2018, the Group discloses long-term prepayments (liability) of 13 750 thousand PLN. This primarily accounts for fit-outs and rent-free periods at Zdrofit Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 6 727 thousand, contribution costs of rental agreements at Fabryka Formy Sp. z o.o. at PLN 5 281 thousand as well as long-term pre-payments of remaining subsidiaries.

The table shows the contractual value of liabilities, without taking into account the discount resulting from valuation of liabilities at amortized cost. Hence, the amounts presented here may differe from those in the consolidated statement of financial position.

6.15. Accruals (liabilities)

Short-term accruals (liabilities) show primarily the estimated value of liabilities of the Parent Company and Vanity Style Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 58.6 million towards sport facilities (Partners), whose services were used by sport card users.

In addition, this item also covers costs of future liabilities of the MultiBilet product (PLN 4.1 million, settlements of invoiced sport card revenues for future periods (PLN 7.0 million), settlement of fit-outs in Zdrofit Sp. z o.o. (PLN 2.8 million), rent-free period of the Parent Company (PLN 2.2 million) and other short-term accruals of subsidiaries.

6.16. Share-based payments

The Incentive Program (hereinafter, the Program or IP) is aimed at senior and middle management of the company and the subsidiaries of Benefit Systems Group, with which the parent company has entered into appropriate agreements. As part of the Program, eligible employees receive subscription warrants, that are convertible into shares of the parent company.

On 10 February 2016, the Supervisory Board of the parent company adopted a proposal for the next edition of the Incentive Program for 2017-2020. The aim of the program is to create

an incentive system that will promote efficient and loyal work targetedat achieving high financial results and a long-term increase in the value of the parent company. During the Incentive Program 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), which will entitle them to subscribe to the specific number of shares of the parent company in four equal tranches. The options granted may be exercised up to 30 September 2021.

Specified employees, both senior executives and employees from middle management, can participate in the Incentive Program. A necessary condition for starting the program in any given year is the attainment of a specific level of pre-tax profit (2017-2010 Program) adjusted for the cost of the program attributable to this financial year.

The assumptions of Incentive Program for 2017-2020 were adopted in the form of a resolution at the Annual General Meeting on 15 June 2016.

The execution thresholds of the Program are presented in the table below:

Maximum
number of
Adjusted pre-tax profit
(million PLN)
warrants 2017 2018 2019 2020
Execution thresholds based on adjusted
consolidated pre-tax profit
(excl. IP cost) (million PLN)
100% 25 000 90 105.0 120 140
75% 18 750 85 97.5 110 130
50% 12 500 80 91.0 106 121

Management Stock Option Program valuation for 2018 was based on the following assumptions:

Dane 2018
X(t) – share price at the valuation date (PLN) 1 130.00
P – excercise price (PLN) 491.93
r- risk-free rate for PLN 1.82%
T – expiry date 2018-12-31
t – current date (for priceing) 2018-02-13
Sigma – daily volatility 31.62%

Valuation of the Management Stock Option Program - Black and Scholes model

According to the above, 13 February 2018 was the allocation date of 5 050 subscription warrants. Provision for the Management Stock Option Program cost in the reporting period amounted to 6 162 thousand PLN.

Allocation of the remaining warrants is conditional on, inter alia, the realization of pre-tax profit. Assuming the 100% execution threshold for 2018, 19 950 warrants remain to be allocated.

Since the inception of the Incentive Program (2011) the Company has been using the same valuation method of the provisions for the costs of the Program in the income statement.

6.17. Dividend

On 10 February 2016, the Management Board for the parent company adopted its Shareholder Profit Distribution Policy for the years 2016-2019, which was subsequently approved by the Supervisory Board and Annual General Meeting of the parent company. In each year of the Profit Distribution Policy the buyback of shares will be carried out in the amount of at least 50% of the standalone net profit of the parent company for the previous financial year. The policy takes into account the financial situation and investment requirements of the parent company and Group's companies, including those related to the

implementation of investment agreements, as well as liquidity needs within the Group. The Profit Distribution Policy is in force and commenced with the distribution of net profit of the parent company for the year ended 31 December 2015, and constitutes a continuation of the Dividend Policy of 25 September 2012.

O 10 May 2018 Supervisory Board of the parent company approved the Management Board's motion, sent to the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, on (i) proposed allocation of the total standalone 2017 net profit in the amount of PLN 100.2 million to reserve capital and (ii) proposed recommendation to the AGM on allocating PLN 51.0 million to dividend share buyback.

On 12 June 2018 AGM of the parent company adopted a resolution on profit allocation from the financial year of 2017. Taking into consideration share buyback plans of the Management Board of the parent company in accordance with Shareholder Profit Distribution Policy for the years 2016-2019, net profit of PLN 100.2 million was fully allocated to reserve capital.

6.18. Issue and redemption of debt securities

During the six months of 2018, neither the parent company nor its subsidiaries issued any debt instruments.
