Dear Shareholders, Dear Fans of Mountains,
TMR has another successful year behind it and we are very delighted to present our best results so far. For the past financial year 2016/17 we managed to improve total revenues by 18.1% and operating profit before depreciation is 25.5% higher. We achieved net consolidated profit of EUR 6.990 mil. with a 155% growth. The winter 2016/17 was very strong, with ideal snow conditions throughout most of the season, ending with a solid Easter and skiing also through April in the Tatras, which got reflected in the growth of visit rate. TMR's In our Real Estate segment we observed a considerable recovery. We were selling bungalows Holiday Village Tatralandia, Chalets Jasná de Luxe at Otupné and in the new Hotel Pošta**** we completely sold out all apartments designated for sale. We also finished the first phase of the Jasná Center project with a two-story building, which houses a complete visitor service center. There is central dispatching with an info center and a customer service department, a ticket office, the ski school Maxiland, a self-service ski view of Mt. Chopok and a sundeck. Escalators enable skiers
hotels were yet again fully occupied during peak periods. Our unique product, Smart Season Pass, used by most of our all-season clients, also helped us. The visit rate in the summer season maintained the level of the prior recordbreaking year despite the news about Slovaks, Czechs, and Poles starting to travel to seaside again due to a less tense security situation in traditional seaside travel destinations. The offer of Grandhotel Praha, which provided its clients with comfort in newly renovated rooms, was the highlight in the High Tatras. In the Low Tatras we broadened our offer with the new Hotel Pošta. In the summer season with a grand style we opened to public the newly renovated Polish park Legendia with numerous rides, new themes, and a new brand. The unique roller coaster, Lech Coaster, was the most popular attraction. The total number of visitors in the mountain resorts grew 8% year-over-year and 9% in the leisure parks. depot, a souvenir shop, and the luxury Crystal Bar with a a comfortable transfer from parking lots to ski trails. As for growth investments, last year we invested EUR 65 mil. Out of that EUR 44 mil. were invested into modernization of our Polish projects - the Szczyrk mountain resort and Legendia - Silesian Amusement Park. In Szczyrk we obtained necessary permits and built inter alia three new cableways with the transportation capacity of 7,800 persons per hour, a new ski trail, a retention water reservoir for snowmaking, and snowmaking systems. These investments moved the Szczyrk resort a step closer to the level of our Slovak resorts, which is a factor we should see in the results already in 2017/18. In Legendia new rides were added, such as the already-mentioned Lech Coaster. In Slovakia we invested mostly in the real estate projects and infrastructure. We built new Chalets Jasná de Luxe, Jasná Center, Hotel Pošta, renovated hotel rooms and finalized the Krupová-Kosodrevina cableway in the Jasná resort.
Our personalized products and services through the Gopass program also contributed to the results. Thus, we want to continue to motivate our clients to register in our loyalty program. As of the end of the financial year, we had 665 thousand registered clients, a 44% increase, also achieved thanks to our mobile app. Online purchase of ski passes and tickets to the parks via the Gopass e-shop continues the upward trend and last year contributed with 24% to total sales in the Tatras and improved 15% year-over-year. Our cooperation with all lodging providers who used our service of ski passes 'on the pillow' was successful, as well as our cooperation with regional district tourism organizations. We regularly supported operations of our resorts and parks with our now regular events and attractions, such as the popular Ice Dome at Hrebienok. In terms of expanding our operations, last year we came to an agreement to rent and operate the Czech mountain resort of Ještěd, which we plan to modernize completely. In the midterm horizon we plan to add a major alpine resort to our portfolio, which our clients could use within the Gopass program. Thanks to our intense investments in prior periods and our unique products, the winter season 2017/18 is smoothly progressing, and we are optimistic about the continuing growth of TMR. See you on the slopes!

The High Tatras as the greatest mountain range in Slovakia are also the oldest national park in our country (Tatra National Park - TANAP). Therefore, all the tourist activities are performed considering the nature conservation and rare biotopes. In the area of the High Tatras the Company owns and operates cableways in Tatranská Lomnica and Starý Smokovec and closely cooperates with the owner of the Štrbské Pleso resort which they manage together.
Tatranská Lomnica resort holds the lead in Slovakia with its longest 5.5 km trail and a 1,300 m vertical drop. The trail in Lomnické sedlo has the highest elevation in Central Europe. The base elevation of the resort is at the bottom station of the 6-seat cableway in Tatranská Lomnica, in 888 m a.s.l., and its summit elevation point is at the exit station of elevated cableway to Lomnický štít in 2,634 m a.s.l. Ski trails of different levels can satisfy all the skiers from beginners to experts guaranteeing five months of snow coverage. Lomnické sedlo (2,196 m a.s.l.) is a trail only with natural snow, and besides advanced skiers it is popular among free riders. The resort is equipped with modern snowmaking system, which reaches the highest point of the Esíčka trail at Skalnaté Lake. In September 2015 the ski portal Skiresort.info ranked the ski resort Tatranská Lomnica among the world's top 14 resorts with up to 20 km of trails; and in the category "Beginners" it was ranked among the world's top resorts with infrastructure and services suitable for ski beginners.
Tatranská Lomnica turns in the summer months into an attractive leisure center for the whole family. It provides possibility of trips to the top of Lomnický štít in 2,634 m a.s.l. The resort is regularly extending its offer of services and today it offers a number of attractions, such as mountain cart rides from the midstation Start and an authentic project for children - Tatras wilderness located in 1,751 m above sea level. It is a natural fun trail from Tatranská Lomnica, around Skalnaté pleso, Starý Smokovec and Hrebienok, to Štrbské Pleso with games, competitions and mini eco-park Marmot Land at Skalnaté Pleso that is suited mainly for children. Youngsters can also enjoy themselves all-year round in an indoor children's center - The Chamois Land - with a big playground with a maze and a chill-out zone for parents.
Ski resort Tatranská Lomnica offers up to 46 ha of ski trails (out of which almost 32 ha have technical snowmaking) with a total length of nearly 12 km. The ski trails in the resort are mostly easy (six trails - 5,700 m) to moderate (five trails - 5,190 m) with technical snowmaking. The ski trail for experts in Lomnické sedlo (1,240 m) is best suited for most advanced skiers, with an average angel of almost 47%.
In the resort there are three gondolas, and four chairlifts with total length of 10,272 m. The maximum transport capacity is 11,645 persons per hour. Two of the cableways are equipped with shields, so called bubbles, and one also with heated seats and better wind resistant system (RPD). At the beginning of the winter season 2013/14 a new 15-person gondola was completed starting at the Start location leading to Skalnaté Lake with the transportation capacity of 2,400 persons/hour. It substituted the original old 4-seat gondola. The 15-person gondola is design-wise and struction-wise similar to the gondola at the Chopok Mountain South. 37 cabins by Doppelmayr transports
skiers to Skalnaté Lake in seven minutes and exceeds the vertical drop of 599 m. The cableway resists winds up to 22-24 m/s. The start station of the gondola Štart - Skalnaté Lake starts at 1,170 m a.s.l., and the end station is located at 1,772 m a.s.l. The all-year most attractive cableway is still the elevated gondola to Lomnický štít which can get visitors to the top of the second highest peak of the High Tatras just in 8 minutes, and which has been in operation for 75 years now.
Starý Smokovec resort - Hrebienok and ski trails Jakubova lúka I and II with snowmaking - is oriented during the winter season on beginner skiers and families with children, as well as on alternative leisure activities, such as snowtubing and sledging on 2.5 km long sledging track. A central part is a funicular. The finish station of a comfortable panorama funicular from Starý Smokovec to Hrebienok is the favorite start point for winter hikes to mountain lodges and waterfalls. Attractions made of ice - Tatra Ice Dome and ice sculptures at Hrebienok - are quite popular, as well.
In the summer the resort offers attractions like summer tubing, or trampolines. Starý Smokovec and Hrebienok are also the perfect places for hiking trips to Small or Great Cold Valley. The resort is also well known for its organization of Bear Days, the project dedicated to families with children.
Ski trails in total length of 3,375 m are more suitable rather for beginners. All three trails are easy. Besides them, the resort offers the longest lit up sledge trail in Slovakia.
The resort disposes a modern funicular from Starý Smokovec to Hrebienok and two ski lifts in the area of Hrebienok and Jakubkova lúka I and II. The total transportation capacity of the resort is 2,700 persons per hour, out of which 1,600 is by funicular. Visitors can with this funicular reach the altitude of 1,272 m a.s.l., while in 7 minutes overcome the 255 m elevation from the bottom station (1,025 m a.s.l.).
The resort in the highest Tatra settlement on Štrbské Pleso is suited also for clients requiring the highest standard of services. Nine kilometers of easy and moderate ski trails and more than 26 km cross-country trails are used by families with children as well as advanced skiers. Vysoké Tatry - Štrbské Pleso provides its visitors with services such as ski and snowboard rental, ski services and ski school for beginners. The resort is well suited also for leisure skiers.
The resort is in summer a popular place for tourists, since it is an ideal place to start a mountain hike, or simple walks around Štrbské and Popradské pleso. After years of examining the state of Štrbské pleso, in 2008 the boating on the lake with a more than 130-year old tradition was allowed to restart. There are 11 wooden boats and one sports raft anchored to a newly built pier overlooking the Tatra peaks. Orlíkovo Park is available for the youngest clients directly under the ski-jump. For several years now Štrbské Pleso organizes a favorite sports fun event Marmots at the Lake.
Ski resort in Štrbské Pleso offers its clients several trails of easy (eight trails - 3,220 m) and moderate (five trails - 5,600 m) difficulty. The resort has 8,820 meters of slopes with technical snowmaking. Part of the resort is also lit up and thus suitable for night skiing. All trails in the resort together overcome the elevation of 1,251 m and also because of high levels of real snow belong among the most popular ones.
There are eight cableways altogether, out of which there are three chairlifts, four lifts, and one moving belt with a total length of 4,964 meters in the resort. Their maximum transport capacity is 7,020 persons per hour. Two cableways are used to transport visitors towards Solisko station (1,840 m a.s.l.), one 4-seat cableway from the bottom of Štrbské Pleso (1,351 m a.s.l.) and another six-seat cableway from Furkotská dolina. The third cableway is located parallel to the ski-jump, where the other lifts are located too.
The Low Tatras are the largest national park in our country (the Low Tatras National park - NAPANT), stretch 82 km in the middle of Slovakia. The second highest peak of the Low Tatras is Chopok, 2,024 m a.s.l. and you can get close to its summit by cableways from Liptov or Horehronie. This is also one of the reasons why Chopok area is the most visited place in the Low Tatras.
Jasná Nízke Tatry resort is the top ski resort in Slovakia with excellent conditions for winter sports on the both sides of Chopok. The resort offers a lot of slopes on different levels of difficulty from blue to black, as well as twelve freeride zones and a snowpark. After skiing there is an interesting

This complex offers an ideal environment for family or individual holiday any time of the year. It offers plentiful activities, such as sports facilities, playgrounds, game zones, bonfires.
The goal of this segment is to build infrastructure and buildings in the mountain regions. In its realization the Company plans to capitalize on the unique location in the High and Low Tatras region. TMR's strategy in this segment is mostly development, construction, and sale of apartments and non-housing areas. Last year another phase of the Chalets Jasná de Luxe Center project was completed and further construction is underway. At the same time development of the project Jasná Center is still ongoing. Alongside these projects necessary infrastructure is being built for the natural development of tourism in the following areas - cableways, infrastructure, trails, information signs, etc. TMR plans its real estate projects mostly on traditional, urban areas, where sport and tourism have been part of history for decades.
The Company within the Real Estate segment owns and leases out hotels Liptov**, SKI hotel**, Kosodrevina Lodge, and lodging facility Otupné in Jasná. TMR has also been offering bungalows in Holiday Village Tatralandia for sale. Last year all the apartments in the newly built Hotel Pošta were sold. Revenues from the Real Estate segment come mainly from the hotel leases, from sale of bungalows Holiday Village Tatralandia and sale of apartments Chalets Jasná de Luxe and Hotel Pošta.
Chalets Jasná de Luxe Center consists of thirteen newly built deluxe chalets directly on the slope of Otupné in the Jasná resort. In each chalet there are two apartments, joined with an optional living room door. Each chalet includes a spa. For property owners TMR provides facility management and sale of vacant capacities.
The first phase of the project Jasná Center, which was finalized at the end of FY 2016/17, includes a two-story building with a complete service center for visitors. There is the central dispatching with an info center and a customer service department, cash registers, ski school Maxiland, a self-service ski depot, a souvenir shop, and the luxury Crystal Bar with a view of Mt. Chopok and with a sundeck. Escalators provide a comfortable transfer for skiers from parking lots to ski trails.
By capitalizing on our position of a natural monopoly due to the unique position of the Tatras, to become a premier, internationally renowned tourism services provider striving to revive mountain resorts, aquaparks, theme and amusement parks in the region of Central and Eastern Europe from the investment, sports, cultural, and social point of view.
TMR's mission is to provide services in tourism at a constantly increasing level, in particular through business activities divided into three key segments - Mountains & Leisure, Hotels, and Real Estate, where the Mountain & Leisure segment covers operation of mountain resorts, an aquapark, a leisure park and additional services throughout the year. The Group plans to fulfil its mission through synergies leading to a complex satisfaction of both, its clients and shareholders.
As opposed to other operators of mountain resorts and tourist services in the region of Central Eastern Europe, TMR holds a position of natural monopoly due to the unique geographical location of TMR's key mountain resorts in the highest mountain range in the region - the Tatras and due to a long history and significant local brands of the resorts in Poland and Czechia. This advantage predetermines them to be premier tourist destinations in Central and Eastern Europe. Besides the attractive mountain environment and the resorts' history, the following facts form the competitive advantage for TMR:
subsegmental synergies in sales, purchase, operations, and support areas of the Group.
The long term strategic goal of the Group for the next ten years is to gain a leading role in winter and summer tourism in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Leadership in the area of tourism provides TMR with the ability to set trends and standards in this industry. At the same time it leads the Group to differentiation. As a result, TMR works on offering premium services for reasonable prices in comparison with other similar resorts in Europe. A wide spectrum of services and their quality are the key for the Group's direction. This goal is based on three pillars, which are highly interconnected:
By the end of 2017, for the last 11 years TMR had invested in its resorts and hotels around 300 million euros. As a result of these investments, the services provided by TMR in the High and Low Tatras, in Polish Szczyrk and Legendia improved significantly. TMR Slovak resorts thus reached the level of alpine resorts and increased their leading position in the region within the industry, whereas Polish Szczyrk is still undergoing this transformation. Investments completed in in the Slovak mountain resorts in the last 11 years include eleven new cableways, which means an increase of the transportation capacity by 59%; extension of technical snowmaking by more than 100% to total of 56 km of ski trails with snowmaking and 879 snow guns; ski trail areas larger by 48%, in total length of 74 km in both the High and the Low Tatras; or tens of après ski bars and restaurants on the slopes of the ski resorts. In the Polish Szczyrk resort the first phase of the planned modernization in the amount of more than EUR 30 mil. was executed last year. Also, more than EUR 30 mil. have been invested so far into the Polish amusement park Legendia's attractions and services since the operations takeover in May 2015. Other investments were

aimed at improvement and renovation of accommodation capacities, and enhancement of infrastructure in all the resorts and at enhancement of services and operations, such as the Tropical Paradise in Aquapark Tatralandia.
In the following periods TMR plans for its resorts in the Slovak Tatras to grow organically and capitalize on the completed investments. Future CAPEX in the Slovak resorts will mainly cover maintenance investments and investments into additional enhancement of services provided, tailored to customers' needs, such as lodging facilities, après-ski and dining options, and other complementary services. As for investments into development of the last acquired assets, the same as in Slovakia, TMR plans to continue to develop "The New Era of Szczyrk and Silesian Amusement Park". TMR plans to get the Polish Szczyrk resort to the level of its Tatra resorts.
After fulfillment of the primary vision of - New Era of the Tatras - in 2012/13, TMR currently concentrates on strategic acquisitions of ski resorts and amusement parks on the local market, as well as on the international level, namely in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. The most recent addition to the Group`s portfolio was Legendia - Silesian Amusement Park in Poland in May 2015. Other key acquisitions include the mountain resort Szczyrk in the Polish Beskids from March 2014 or Holiday Resort Tatralandia, acquired in April 2011, which includes Aquapark Tatralandia and Holiday Village Tatralandia. Strategic expansion of the operations on the neighboring Czech market includes an indirect minority interest in Melida a.s., the operator of the Špindlerův Mlýn resort. In 2017 TMR made an agreement with the Czech town of Liberec for TMR to rent and operate the ski resort Ještěd with the contract signed after the end of the fiscal year 2016/17. In the mid-term horizon TMR plans to broaden its portfolio with a major alpine resort, which would be easily accessible for TMR clients, sufficiently large (over 100 km of ski trails), and included in the GOPASS program.
Management wants to achieve intensive growth of the number of visitors primarily by intensive customer orientation. Strategic steps to achieve this goal include increasing the variety and quality of the services provided. TMR expands the scale of attractions offered and improves the quality of ski schools, ski equipment rentals, and dining facilities on slopes. Moreover, it continuously improves the offer of après ski possibilities. The Group also tries to optimize transport possibilities to its resorts and cooperates with local business entities on the level of regional clusters. TMR prefers to cooperate rather than compete with them; it wants to build on their success and provide their customers easy access to its nearby mountain resorts and leisure parks and a variety of attractions for children, adrenalin sports for the young (e.g. bike parks), and relaxation zones. Regarding accommodation possibilities, TMR focuses primarily on four-star hotels and improvement of their wellness and dining services. Other strategic steps include focus on affluent clientele, essential quality of management and staff, and a sophisticated marketing strategy. Another key to TMR's growth is innovation. In regards to that, TMR acts as the trendsetter in tourism. The loyalty program GOPASS enables its customers to shop online or via a mobile app and to collect points in its facilities by using its services and pay bargain prices, and at the same time, GOPASS serves as TMR's Customer Relationship Management and Direct Marketing tool. This loyalty program was awarded in 2015 at The Loyalty Awards in London, where it won in categories: the Best loyalty programme of the year in the travel sector (airlines, hotels, destinations); the Best loyalty programme of the year in Central and Eastern Europe; and the Best Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in a loyalty programme for Direct Marketing. Within this pillar TMR fully utilizes synergic effects among its segments and subsegments, thus it is able to constantly optimize services it provides, as well as to keep expanding its variety of products and services, e.g. an option to use services of several mountain resorts and the aquapark with purchase of just one ticket.
Strategy
26 27
Management expects that the impact of these strategic steps will continue to be reflected in the Group's results, and mainly the impact of already completed capital investments of prior years in the total of EUR 295 mil.
For the past fiscal year the Group set goals of a stable growth in operating revenues and operating income.
The short term goal for 2016/17 included a growth in operating revenues of 10.8% and a growth in EBITDA of 15.5%. This financial plan was introduced at the Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2017. Partly thanks to great weather conditions in the winter season 2016/17, TMR achieved, even exceeded its financial plan for the year 2016/17. TMR concluded the year with revenues 6.6% over the plan, whereas EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) exceeded the plan by 8.7%.
TMR's client base is, besides customers from Slovakia, based mostly on visitors from neighboring countries, such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Russia.
The natural market of the Group is in the regions within 200 km radius inhabited by 7.5 million people. This radius includes cities, such as Krakow and Katowice in Poland, as well as Czech cities Ostrava and Olomouc. From the geographical point of view there are other, further markets with limited access to mountains, such as Great Britain, Ireland, Russia (Moscow and Sankt Petersburg), Ukraine, and Baltic countries. Clients from the first group come by cars or buses, while the second group uses air transport.
The Group also divided potential target groups into the following categories:
The main marketing goals of the Group include clear brand placement on the market by segmentation of clients and focusing of particular marketing strategies on these specific segments that would lead to maximum synergy of all brands covered by TMR. At the same time the Group has been observing a shift of clientele structure towards affluent clientele generating the highest revenues and focusing at products and services with the highest added value.
Preferred goals of the TMR Group's marketing include building of the TMR brand awareness by constant communication of image, integrated product communication with the TMR brand, setting communication of the Group
and all brands that the Group covers in order to reach maximum synergy (cobranding); and by strengthening positive and managed PR and attractive adventure tourism - through event management. In order to create awareness and build a strong company brand, a useful fact without a doubt is that TMR is a publicly traded company listed on the stock exchange in Bratislava, Prague, and Warsaw; it is the strongest player in tourism in Slovakia, or even in Central and Eastern Europe, providing full service resorts or destinations with a high level of service in the region of the High Tatras, Low Tatras, Liptov, the Polish Beskids, Silesia, and the Krkonoše Mountains in the Czech Republic.
The Group is using a massive marketing communication in all basic types of media - Internet, television, radio and press, and also outdoor advertising in several forms - bigboards, atypical premium billboards placed on walls of buildings in big cities and on main roads, citylights, bus banners and the like.
As for the Slovak market, also last year TMR cooperated on commercials and sponsored content; in the form of realtime marketing on the TV show The best weather forecast of TV JOJ, in which throughout the whole winter season live images were used from the mountain resorts Jasná Nízke Tatry, Tatranská Lomnica and Štrbské Pleso. Advance sale and mountain resorts spots were broadcasted in radios (Rádio Expres, Funradio, Rádio Jemné, and Rádio Anténa Rock, Rádio Vlna). Cooperation in the form of spot campaigns continued with Rádio Anténa Rock and Rádio Jemné during the winter and summer season. Realtime marketing broadcasted the actual conditions in the mountain resorts and Aquapark Tatralandia.
As for print media, the Company advertised in the daily Pravda, massively in weeklies of the News and Media Holding publishing house, but mainly in the weekly Plus 7 dní. The Company's offer also has a very intensive presentation through a not-for-sale image magazine called TATRY MAGAZÍN, which is available in accommodation facilities and tourist facilities as the only lifestyle magazine about the life in the Tatras.
In addition to the above-mentioned advertising campaigns, TMR Marketing Department also performs other, no less important activities such as active participation in exhibitions and fairs, cooperation in destination management with entities operating in the region, such as the active Liptov Cluster and several district tourism organizations in the regions. Also cooperation with single district tourism organizations, the origin of which was supported by the Tourism Act, and active subsidy policy of the state in relation to the creation and execution of marketing campaigns for regions and creation of regional products supporting tourism, are important for TMR.
TMR also keeps in mind the use of innovations and continually improves its communication also via information technology. TMR communicates and informs via individual resort and hotel websites, via the corporate website www.tmr.sk, www.gotatry.sk, or via the e-shop www.gopass.sk. In Poland TMR communicates via the Szczyrk resort's website www.szczyrkowski.pl and via www.legendia.pl. All TMR hotels communicate with their clients also via a unified website www.tmrhotels.sk. The
Strategy Strategy
mobile app, GOPASS, enables customers to purchase ski passes, entry tickets, and other services directly at resort's entry gate. This app helped to boost online ski pass sales in terms of skier days by 15.3% in the Slovak resorts.
The Group uses social networks for communicating with clients on a daily basis. In the Group's key markets (Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic), Facebook is number one in social networks and, therefore, TMR puts emphasis on the development of a wide fan base. At present, the following resort profiles are administered (fan groups) - JASNÁ Nízke Tatry, Vysoké Tatry - The Adventure Mountains, Aquapark Tatralandia, Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, Legendia, Tatry Mountain Resorts, a.s. and smaller profiles of individual projects - Tatranská divočina, Happy End Jasná, Liptov Arena, Events in Tatras and TMR hotels, Bernardino Burger Restaurant, Burton snowpark Jasná, Hotel Srdiečko, Nízke Tatry; Après-ski bary Jasná, Tatry Motion, Grandhotel**** Starý Smokovec, Vysoké Tatry; Hotel Fis***, Štrbské Pleso; Hotel Tri Studničky****, Nízke Tatry; Rotunda, Grandhotel Praha****, Vysoké Tatry; Hotel Grand****, Jasná-Nízke Tatry, Holiday Village Tatralandia, Mountain Lodge Hrebienok, Hotel Pošta, Chalets Jasná de Luxe, FUN ZONE Jasná, and others. For marketing purposes the Group also utilizes social networks Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, or a YouTube channel.
The Group's Marketing Department is continually improving the quality of live video transmissions and online information from individual resorts that are available on the Internet and thanks to which clients can get a better idea of actual conditions in the resorts. Information about changing snow conditions and operation of resorts is published online from each communication point, on both own and external web portals several times a day. Current information about the resorts is provided on LCD monitors in hotels, LCD screens in the resorts, or the dispatching center radio in Jasná Nízke Tatry during the winter season.
The Polish market is the most important foreign market for TMR. And that is the reason why we pay Poland special attention also in terms of marketing strategy and communication. In the past year 2016/17, the campaigns used the key visual "ZaPrzyjemność", which was aimed at potential clients at www.gotatry.sk, as well as on other web sites of each resort. As for Tatralandia, the focus was aimed at a varied offer during summer and at the key visual "Tatralandia - Morze atrakcji w Tatrách". As for Baltic campaigns and campaigns for the UK market, the website www.gotatry.sk was used. The Group was also using Internet marketing tools such as YouTube, Facebook, Google Adwords campaigns, which together
with classic media such as exterior advertising space, TV, radio and PR sports reported millions of views just in the winter alone. Advertising was also aimed at print media and a PR campaign. Communication with more distant markets is facilitated mainly through foreign tourist agencies, although smaller campaigns have already been carried out also in Russian-speaking countries.
During the winter season a PR campaign was launched to promote the modernization of the mountain resort Szczyrk, which lasted through the summer and fall. The Polish Legendia - Silesian Amusement Park ran the biggest online and offline campaign in Poland. The campaign focused mostly on the region of Silesia and Malopolske Voivodship. During the season Legendia held mostly evening events with the goal to attract new visitors and introduce new attractions.
TMR is currently actively using Direct Marketing also in the GOPASS program. As of the end of the fiscal year, 665 ths. members in total were registered in the program, whilst during the year 203 ths. new members joined the program - a 35.5% increase. In the online presale during April through the end of October 2017 30.6% more season passes "Smart Pass" were sold at a special rate yoy for the winter season 2017/18.
The Tatras have become a place that never sleeps also thanks to the opening of new centers of après ski entertainment and night life. Restaurant & Club Happy End in Jasná with an offer of après ski program is also an ideal place for organizing various events mainly during the winter season. The most important events in Jasná include Winter Music Opening, CGC Jasná Adrenalin (world freeride race), and Bikini Skiing (traditional spring downhill race). The High Tatras events include Snow Dogs (Snežné psy) (a grand winter event for families with children in Tatranská Lomnica), and the most visited event Bear Days (Medvedie dni) (a grand summer event for families with children taking place at Hrebienok), or Marmots at the Lake.
Since November 25, 2016 till April 18, 2017 the Tatra Ice Dome was open to public, built with 90 tons of ice. Its core motive was a Gothic church with elements of the Tatra
history and nature. This most popular Tatra attraction was built by eight sculptors and seven assistants. This activity was made possible thanks to the cooperation of TMR with the District Tourism Organization (DTO) the High Tatras Region. The popular show 'Diamonds Fight Night' in Aquapark Tatralandia's Liptov Arena attracted many viewers on November 26. In matches according to the rules of K1, kickbox, box, and MMA female fighters competed as well.
On December 3 the grandest winter season launch on the snow - Winter Music Opening with the theme of a luxury oceanic cruise ship.

Strategy Strategy
TMR management uses operating and financial key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate operating performance. The Group's portfolio is divided into three segments and subsegments and for this reason management monitors performance of each segment and subsegment.
As for the performance of the Mountains & Leisure segment, Management monitors performance of financial indicators based on the number of visitors in terms of sold skier days in the winter season, i.e. number of persons visiting a ski area for any part of day or night for the purpose of skiing, snowboarding, or other downhill slide. E.g., a 4-day ticket means four customers in the mountain resorts of TMR. The number of visitors on cableways in the summer season and visitors in Leisure Parks is measured in terms of sold entries.
In the main segment Mountains & Leisure and its subsegments Mountain Resorts, Leisure Parks, Dining, and Sport Services & Stores, the key indicator is the average revenue per visitor for a given period from sale of ski passes, entries, services, and products.
In the Hotels segment operating performance is monitored based on percentage occupancy of individual hotels in the High and Low Tatras and in the aquapark and of the weighted average of the hotel portfolio.
Average Daily Rate (ADR) is one the key indicators to measure hotel performance. It represents average revenue from per occupied room per given period. The calculation is based on the equation where room revenues are divided by the number of rooms sold. Management monitors ADR of each hotel and of the weighted average of the hotel portfolio.
Operating revenues of the Group come solely from operating activity of the Mountains & Leisure segment - with subsegments Mountain Resorts, Leisure Parks, Dining, and Sports Services & Stores - and from segments Hotels and Real Estate.
To describe financial performance of TMR, management uses EBITDA (Earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as the key indicator, which represents income net of interest, taxes, and write-offs. EBITDA clearly indicates the Group's financial performance based on operating activities since it eliminates impact of financing, as well as accounting decisions of a non-operating character.
In order to evaluate operating profitability of TMR, management utilizes EBITDA margin. It equals earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) divided by operating revenues. Since EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, EBITDA margin is able to provide the investor a clearer picture of operating profitability.
The main target group for TMR is represented by tourists from Central and Eastern Europe, mainly from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. Therefore, the visit rate in TMR's resorts is partly impacted by economic development in these countries.
The percentage GDP growth in Slovakia for the past period ranks among one of the highest in the EU.1 According to the National Bank of Slovakia, in 2016 GDP increased by 3.3% year-over-year, at a slower pace due to lower utilization of the EU funds. In 2017 GDP of Slovakia should reach a growth of 3.4% supported by a recovery towards the end of the year thanks to stronger investments. The positive economic growth has a favorable impact on the labor market as a sharp fall in unemployment. In the following years a wage growth over 5% is expected. In 2018 the growth is estimated at 4.3%.2
According to Czech National Bank (ČNB), economic growth in 2016 slowed down to 2.5% due to absence of onetime growth factors, such as EU funds, regulation effect, pre-supply of tobacco products, or favorable weather. In 2017 the GDP growth is estimated at 4.5% also thanks to recovery in the Eurozone, especially in Germany, the fact that also impacts Czech exports and labor market. The pressure on the labor market is reflected on wage rises and higher household spending. Investment activity is further supported by EU funds. In 2018 the Czech economy should grow 3.2%.3
According to EBRD, in 2016 Polish economy slowed down by 2.9% due to drop in investments caused by slow drawing of EU funds and continuing regulatory uncertainty. In 2017 GDP is estimated to have grown 4.1% as a result of strong household spending, strong wage growth, and higher social spending. Private investment is still weak a presents a risk to growth due to rising wages and shrinking labor supply. In 2018 the economic growth will probably decrease to 3.4% along with growing inflation, which may negatively impact household consumption.4
In 2016 Ukrainian economy finally recorded a GDP growth of estimated 1.5% following 16% cumulative real GDP contraction in the previous two years, as a result of military turbulence in the eastern part of the country, government instability, and lack of foreign investment. Ukraine's economy showed signs of moderate recovery in the first half of 2017 with household consumption and real wages picking up. Gross fixed capital formation grew heavily, by 20%, although exports declined in the first and second quarter. Industrial production declined due to the ongoing economic blockade of the eastern area outside of the control of the government. Consumer price inflation slowed down but remains high at 16.4% as of September 2017. Ukraine boosted its presence on capital markets with its issuance of USD 3 billion sovereign Eurobonds. The banking system showed improvement but lending remains weak. EBRD estimates the GDP growth of 2% for 2017 and 3% for 2018.5
After a decline of 0.2% in 2016 and two years of recession, Russian economy finally recorded a growth in 2017. The first half of 2017 showed stronger activity in trade, mining, and transport. The recovery was driven by domestic consumption and investments, whilst net exports were negative, with prevailing imports. Private capital outflows reached the levels of 2016 due to banking sectors outflows. Eurobond issuances increased threefold. Inflation fell to 3% (as of September 2017), supported by a stronger ruble, a stronger food harvest, and base effects. The Central Bank cut the key policy rate, thus easing monetary policy. Fiscal policy tightened with deficit falling to 2.5% of GDP in 2017. Financial stability is boosted by closing banks with poor corporate governance. The GDP growth in 2017 is estimated at 1.8% and 1.7% in 2018.6
Following three consecutive years of strong growth, tourism of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has suffered a drop of -5.9% in international arrivals in 2014, which can be attributable to the geopolitical and economic crisis in Ukraine and Russia. The region rebounded from 2014's decrease and grew year-over-year by 5.1% in 2015. In 2016 international tourist arrivals to CEE increased by 3.8% with especially strong growth in Slovakia (+17%) or Bulgaria (+16%). On the other hand, Russian Federation declined by 9%.9
The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (developed by the World Economic Forum) measures factors and policies that impact competitiveness of the Travel & Tourism sector in individual countries in context of regulatory, business, cultural, and natural environment. According to the Index, in 2017 CEE countries that are ranked higher than Slovakia are the Czech Republic (39), Poland (46), Hungary (49), and Russia (43), whereas Slovakia, which improved from 61st place in 2015 to 59th, is perceived the least attractive, except for Ukraine, ranked 88.10
Besides the majority of domestic tourists, Slovakia is mostly visited by neighboring countries, with the most tourists in 2016 coming yet again from the Czech Republic (621 thousand) and Poland, followed by German tourists. In 2016 international tourist arrivals here increased by 17.8% to record-high 2.0 million. The number of domestic tourists also increased in 2016 by 14.9%. The ratio of domestic to foreign travelers has been traditionally 60/40. For the first half of 2017 the number of domestic and international tourist arrivals increased significantly, by 18.9% and 18.0%, respectively.11 The reason behind the growth in 2016 and 2017, according to hotel operators, is the fact that tourists prefer safer tourist destinations or rather spend their vacations in their home country or neighboring countries due to the unstable security situation in some traditional vacation destinations. Besides this, the growth was boosted also by cooperation among tourism entities, regional and district tourism organizations, new airline connections, enhancement of tourist services, and Slovakia's presidency the Council of the EU. On the other hand, Slovak tourism lacked state-wide promotion in 2016 and 2017 also due to the cancellation of Slovak Tourism Agency. Despite growth of the visit rate in 2016 and 2017, absolute numbers of tourist arrivals are much lower than in the neighboring countries, such as Austria or Czechia, which year by year achieve significant growth. Moreover, business environment in Slovakia is not favorable according to entrepreneurs in the travel sector.12 This is confirmed by the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index, according to which Slovakia is ranked 115 out of 136 countries in terms of business environment.

Direct contribution of tourism to GDP of Slovakia in 2016 reached EUR 1.9 bn., and increase from EUR 1.8 bn., or 2.4% of total GDP, which ranks Slovakia 140 in the world relative ranking. In comparison, direct contribution of tourism in the whole EU reached 3.7% of total GDP. For 2017 Slovakia's share is forecasted to rise by 3.3% and is expected to grow by 3.6% p.a. to 2027. Travel and tourism directly generated 62,000 jobs or 2.5% of total jobs in 2016, and this is expected to grow by 0.4% in 2017. In ten years travel & tourism should directly generate 70,000 jobs (2.9% of total employment). In 2017 international tourism income should grow by 2.3%.14
Europe is the relevant market for TMR's ski business, especially the CEE region. In Europe the biggest skiing destinations are alpine countries - Austria, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. Worldwide, the Alps capture the greatest market share, accounting for 43% of skier visits (skier days).15 The second most significant is North America with 21%. Central and Eastern Europe attracts only 9% of skiers, although this region produces 13% of skiers globally. Since the start of the new millennium global skier destinations have been experiencing a downward trend in the number of skier visits, especially the Western European traditional skier destinations, despite the overall growing global population and a growing number of skier days globally. This introduces an opportunity for the CEE region to grow in provision of ski resorts at least to match the regional demand and even to attract a higher number of foreign skier visits. Among alpine countries, France and Austria have the most major resorts (with over 1 million skier visits) - 13 and 15, respectively each, and France with the highest number of skier visits per year - 54.9 million but Austria records the most domestic skier visits per inhabitants- 2.1, whereas Switzerland produces the highest rate of domestic skiers-37%, with Germany having the highest total number of domestic skiers - 14.6 million.16 Mountain industry in general is very capital intensive because of essential investments into cableways and other resort facilities, which represent great barriers of entry. Another essential entry criterion is e.g. location since skiing requires a mountainous area with a milder/ colder climate.
As for characteristics of ski resorts, they vary in size, ownership, and infrastructure. In some alpine countries, they are usually run by a large number of small private operators who join forces also with local municipalities and market the resort or the ski region as a whole, like in Italy, Switzerland or Austria. In France, on the contrary, operation of large ski resorts especially is concentrated with a major operator. German resorts are also fragmented but considerably smaller than in other alpine countries.17 Large alpine resorts usually offer state of the art infrastructure, have over 100 km of ski trails, transport capacity of over 50,000 persons/hour, and more than 30 ski lifts. They also keep reinvesting large amounts into resorts enhancement. TMR resorts can be compared to medium-sized alpine ski resorts.
Market Analysis and Trends
In the CEE region Russia has the most ski areas - 354, although only around 67 have more than five lifts and majority have limited infrastructure. Russia is followed by Poland with 182, the Czech Republic with 176 and Slovakia with around 107. Poland's ski areas are mostly small, suitable for beginners, and Czech ski areas are located up to 1300 m above sea level. The Czech Republic had on average for the past five years the highest number of skier visits in the winter season- 8.7 million, followed by Slovakia and Poland, both with estimated 5 million. As for domestic skiers, winter sports in Poland are growing in popularity, as Poland produces the highest absolute number of skiers in the region - 5 million, who make up 13% of population. This proportion grew by more than double since 2013, which presents a great growth potential on this market. Slovakia and the Czech Republic produce a much higher percentage of skiers - 18% and 22%, although there are much more Czech skiers in the absolute number - 2.2 million. Slovakia has a competitive advantage on the supply side in the region since 80% of the geographical area is situated above 750m above sea level; and the area includes the highest mountain range in the region- the Tatras, with the highest peak of 2,655 m - Gerlachovský štít.19
The regional mountain industry still exhibits room to grow, in comparing to mature alpine resorts. Observable trends besides investing in resort infrastructure and equipment include extending the variety of services in mountain resorts, such as ski schools, ski service, and shops, as well as non-
14 World Travel & Tourism Council. Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 2017 Slovakia
skiing activities, such as après ski bars, nightlife, restaurants, family activities and events. As for summer activities, the focus is on adrenaline sports, summer family events, and cycling, evidenced by an increase in development of resorts, cycling tours, and by increased marketing. Mountain resorts tend to keep expanding technical snowmaking. Also, mountain resort tourists tend to be attracted to package deals on lodging and lift tickets, thus this trend is expected to continue. Another trend in mountain resorts is observed in consolidating marketing activities of a mountain destination or a region and mutual cooperation of mountain resort operators. District tourism organizations in Slovakia for example join together in destination management. One can observe these trends in all the locations operated by TMR. TMR is also cooperating with other mountain resort operators in marketing efforts.

On the Slovak mountain tourism market TMR is the clear leader in terms of the number of resorts, ski lifts, transportation capacity, km of ski trails, and lifts elevation. Mountain resorts in Slovakia are mostly operated by small private operators in cooperation with local municipalities and national parks. There are around 100 ski areas in Slovakia, and 47 major ski resorts (3*, 4*, and 5* quality) in Slovakia. When comparing individual resorts and their km of ski trails, TMR's resorts Jasná Nízke Tatry (49km) and Vysoké Tatry - Tatranská Lomnica, Starý Smokovec a Štrbské pleso (24km) are the biggest ones in Slovakia, followed by Veľká Rača Oščadnica (17km), Vrátna free time zone (13km), Skipark Kubínska Hoľa (14km), and Winter Park Martinky (13km).21
The hotel industry in Slovakia in 2016 continued the growth trend that started in 2015, with total turnover from accommodation services for hotels having increased by 20.2%. 2017 continued at a more moderate pace, when for the period of first nine months in comparing to the same period the prior year hotel turnover in Slovakia increased 6.8%. TMR's hotels are located in TMR's mountain resorts and in Aquapark Tatralandia, and most of the clients utilize TMR hotels' services in addition to visiting the resorts. That's why TMR hotels compete for clients with other lodging facilities in the given resort and its surrounding. In the winter season especially, performance of the hotels is closely linked to performance of the mountain resorts. In Aquapark Tatralandia there is only one lodging facility, thus TMR holds a monopoly here. In the mountain resorts there are other mostly private operators of resort hotels, inns, bed & breakfasts, apartments, and cottages. The region of Jasná Nízke Tatry and Tatralandia followed a positive trend in 2016 and recorded an 18.2% increase in hotel revenues, whilst for the first nine months of 2017 the region reported only a slight 1% improvement. The region of Vysoké Tatry grew 21.3% in 2016 and for the first nine months of 2017 improved 2.5%.22 Categories of TMR hotels range from 2-star to 4-star. In the resorts there is a greater competition in the lower category lodging than in the upscale segment. The trend in the resorts lodging sector is to cooperate closely with the mountain resort operators in order to attract clients with affordable bundled stay packages. This trend was strong also in 2016 and 2017. The hotel market in TMR's resorts is not saturated since TMR had invested a large amount of capital in recent years, and the resorts attract new investors.
Market Analysis and Trends
In Slovakia there is around a dozen aquaparks and thermal spas. Tatralandia ranks among the top three parks in terms of size, visit rate and services offered. The number of visitors primarily depends on the variety and quality of services offered. As for the target market, aquaparks observe an increasing share of solvent clients who tend to spend more during their visits and require higher quality and a wider scale of services. Another observable trend is the comeback of Slovak clients who now represent the majority as opposed to the past till 2009, when clients from Poland and the Czech Republic comprised the majority, and for the past two years also due to unstable security in the world with domestic tourists more often choosing to spend their vacations in Slovakia. Also, aquaparks observe a growing number of families with children that seek out a wide scale of activities, also as addition to water attractions. The trend also includes continuing investments into parks' development, especially all-year attractions. All-year aquaparks carry a competitive advantage as they do not depend on weather. Operators of aquaparks tend to cooperate closely with local hotels and lodging operators, and they form or join local tourism organizations (OOCR).23 Competition in the neighboring countries is present especially closer to the Slovak borderthere are three aquaparks close to Slovakia in Poland, nine in the Czech Republic, and seven in Hungary.
The CEE region exhibits absence of leisure parks on a scale of Western Europe, where most of 300 parks are located, with annual revenues of around EUR 4.5 bn. There are 30 parks in Europe with an average visit rate of 1-2 mil. visitors. In Poland there are about 45 leisure parks of different size and theme. They may be divided into a number of groups depending on their main theme - luna parks, western theme parks, fairy tale theme parks, dinosaur adventure parks, and miniature theme parks. Majority are so-called dino parks (19) and miniature parks (13). These should be treated as a substitute rather than direct competitors to TMR's Silesian Amusement Park. Besides Silesian Amusement Park, there is only one other amusement park of comparable size and with a comparable number of attractions, located also in the Silesia region.
The performance of the regional real estate market depends on the stability of demand, which is impacted by macroeconomic development, the job market development, income growth, and access to bank financing. In 2016 according to CBRE, foreign and domestic investors invested EUR 853 mil. on the commercial real estate market in Slovakia, almost 100% more than in 2015. The record investment volume was mostly the result of transactions with shopping malls. As for transactions in the retail segment, 11 real estate projects were sold valued at EUR 417 mil., a 188% increase year-over-year. After a retraction in 2014 and stabilization in 2015 the office space segment increased also more than 10% with transactions valued at EUR 118 mil.24 In 2017 investors showed a higher interest in office and logistics space, and the construction boom continued. The most valued transaction, also in the whole CEE region, was the sale of the logistics park near Galanta.25
The recreational real estate market in the Jasná resort has also been experiencing a rebound. In 2016 a new project of building a 5-star hotel resort was announced opposite of Grand hotel Jasná and Chalets Jasná with 181 rooms and apartments, also for sale. Besides this, developers have announced a new construction of recreational residences and infrastructure in Jasná.26 In 2015 TMR completed another stage of Chalets Jasná Otupné and construction works are underway to build the Jasná Center project with multipurpose buildings, apartments, and a shopping mall. In the High Tatras, mainly in Tatranská and Veľká Lomnica several real estate projects are being prepared or already getting built.27

Main risks that the Group faces can be divided into market, financial, and operating risks. The management has the complete responsibility for defining and controlling the Group's risks. All these factors are either external, which means they are completely beyond the management's control, or internal risks, which can be at least partially controlled by the management. The most significant risks are described below:
Current operations of the Group are focused in the Slovak, Czech and Polish market, although majority of the Group's clients come from the whole CEE region, and thus the Group's operations are mainly dependent on the level of economy of the Slovak and Czech Republic and countries of the CEE region. Majority of TMR's revenues depend on the number of visitors to TMR's resorts and hotels. The vacation choices of TMR's clients also depend on the business cycle of the economy, each country's economic growth, and the level
of their discretionary income, with the latter two highly correlated (see the Graph below). Development of such macroeconomic factors is an external risk for TMR. Since the majority of visitors to TMR's resorts and hotels come from various countries, each of which has its own unique macroeconomic profile, operations of TMR can be heavily affected by worsening of the economic situation on these markets. The risk of a downward business cycle is partially managed by reasonable pricing strategies and effective marketing campaigns on the relevant target markets (see Strategy).
TMR's business model is primarily seasonal, although TMR's strategy involves building and promoting all-year vacation destinations. The busiest months are from January through March, especially in the number of skiers, and July and August in the leisure parks and the Vysoké Tatry resort. The management is continuously working on attracting visitors in the off-season, e.g. by adding snowmaking guns, running vibrant marketing campaigns, offering bundled stay packages, and by organizing events in the resorts and hotels. Besides the
Risk Factors and Risk Management
The number of TMR's visitors also depends on a successful winter season, i.e. on favorable weather conditions in terms of abundance of natural snow and temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. TMR manages the risk of low snowfall with the alreadymentioned snowmaking facilities. In the winter season 2016/17 TMR's snow coverage by snowmaking facilities was 71 km. The extensive scope of coverage by technical snowmaking gives TMR an absolute advantage among competitors in Slovakia in case of shortage of natural snow. Historically, the Low Tatras area has had an average of 80 cm of snow during the winter season and the High Tatras 85 cm. Drier winters may increase the cost of snowmaking. On the other hand, warmer weather may hinder the snowmaking, since freezing temperatures are needed, and it may reduce the scope
of skiing area. At the same time, the resorts are located in a mountainous area with a generally colder climate. Also, in comparing with other Slovak mountain resorts, TMR's resorts have start and terminal cableway stations at the highest altitudes. The Polish SON resort, on the other hand, has an advantage in facing north and towards northwest winds. Warm thermal water in Tatralandia partially offsets the cold weather effects, but Tropical Paradise in Tatralandia eliminates dependence on warm weather completely. As for the summer season in the mountain resorts and the amusement park, favorable weather in the summer months is essential for hiking tourists and visits of amusement parks.
The Group's results also depend on how successfully the Group deals with competition. In the primary segment of Mountains and Leisure, specifically in Mountain Resorts TMR competes for visitors on domestic oligopolistic markets in Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic, with the position of a leader in terms of size and the range of services. On the European market the Group faces monopolistic competition with a large number
Base & Summit Elevation of Slovak Ski Resorts
of competitors that provide a wide supply for visitors. TMR utilizes its high quality services, massive capital investments in resort development, reasonable prices in comparing to alpine resorts, patriotism, and locality with the goal of attracting visitors. Moreover, TMR capitalizes on its competitive advantage of natural monopoly in terms of the strategic location of its key resorts in the Tatras in the highest mountain range in the region to the East and North. In the Leisure Parks subsegment TMR is also among the top players in the local market of aquaparks, although visitation of aquaparks also depends on the travel distance for the given visitor. Among theme parks Silesian Amusement Park is one of two top players in the region. Partially, TMR manages this type of risk with marketing tools, by utilizing its tangible and intangible assets, such as its strategic position in the Tatras mountain range, and by a well-defined corporate strategy described in the Strategy section.
The Group's profitability also depends on the occupancy rate of its own hotels and lodging facilities in the resorts. TMR actively works with local lodging operators in marketing the resorts in order to increase occupancy and consequently the number of resort visitors. TMR
hotels' results depend on the occupancy rate and average daily rate per room (ADR). To increase these indicators it is essential for TMR to invest heavily into development and renovation of its lodging facilities. Besides aggressive marketing activities for peak seasons, TMR actively works to increase occupancy and ADR also during the off-season by marketing conference space to corporate clientele, offering special seasonal or weekend lodging packages in conjunction with events in the hotels or resorts, e.g. live cooking show, culinary festivals, romantic spa weekends, serving "brain food" for corporate clientele, etc.
One of the three operating segments of TMR is focused on real estate, as described in the Company Profile section. The revenues of this segment depend on sale and/or lease of residences, lodging facilities, and commercial space in the real estate projects. Even though the current performance of the Group does not depend on the success of this segment, its growth depends on the state of the real estate market, which is an external risk factor. This industry is exhibiting an upward trend for the last couple of years (see Market Analysis and Trends). In case of realization of all the projects, TMR can mitigate
Risk Factors and Risk Management
Volatility of exchange rates in relation to euro is an external risk that affects the Group's revenues because majority of TMR's foreign clients come from countries outside of Eurozone- the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, etc, therefore their travel choices are impacted by currency movements. Appreciation of euro in respect to Polish Zloty, for instance, negatively impacts the number of visitors from Poland as it did at the beginning of the winter season 2016/2017 when Polish Zloty depreciated in respect to euro, recovering in the spring and appreciating moderately almost the rest of the financial year. Czech Crown was flat during the whole winter season, then started appreciating in respect to euro before the summer season 2017, and continued the trend until the end of the financial year. Russian Ruble appreciated against euro
in the first half of 2017, then erased the gains, ending the year slightly up. Investments into the resorts in terms of technology, equipment, renovation, and procurement of inventory were settled in euros and Polish zloty. Investments settled in Polish zloty are thus exposed to volatility of exchange rates. The value of the investment in Carepar, a.s. that holds an interest in Melida a.s., which operates the Špindlerův Mlýn resort, is converted from Czech crowns into euros.

EURIBOR rates (%)3
Volatility of interest rates may have a direct impact on the value of the Group's interest-earning assets and interestbearing liabilities. The extent of this risk is equal to the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, where the interest rate at maturity or at the time of a rate change is different from the current interest rate. The period of a fixed rate for a financial instrument therefore reflects the risk for fluctuations in interest rates. The Group's loan portfolio during 2016/17 consisted mostly of short- and long-term bank debt with fixed and variable rates based on 3-month and 12-month EURIBOR rates and 3-month WIBOR rates. The Group considers the variable interest rate to manage the interest rate risk automatically. In case of economic expansion, EURIBOR grows, but at the same time economic performance of the population should grow, and the Group should be more profitable. In case of economic recession, it is the exact opposite. Besides bank debt, in 2013/14 the Group has issued two tranches of senior and junior bonds in the face value of EUR 180 mil with payment of regular fixed coupon. Loans granted by the Group earn interest at fixed interest rates, thus the Group mitigates the risk of interest rate fluctuations downward. Exposure to this risk is detailed in Consolidated Financial Statements, items 20, 27, 34.
The Group is primarily exposed to risk with trade receivables, receivables from leasing, other receivables, advances and loans granted. The extent of this risk is expressed in the book value of assets on the balance sheet. Book value of receivables, credits, and loans represent the highest possible accounting loss that would have to be accounted for in the event of counterparty's default- counterparty will fail to fully meet their contractual obligations and all guarantees and warrants would have nil value. Therefore, this value significantly exceeds the expected losses in the reserve for unredeemable receivables. The extent of the risk exposure is detailed in Consolidated Financial Statements, items 20, 34.
Liquidity risk arises in the general financing of the Group's activities and financial positions. It includes the risk of being unable to finance assets at an agreed maturity and interest rate and inability to liquidate assets at a reasonable price in a reasonable time frame. Individual segments in the Group use different methods of managing liquidity risk. The Group's management focuses on managing and monitoring liquidity. In order to manage liquidity, in 2009 the management changed the accounting year for the financial year ending on October 31. In the first half of its financial year the Group has
the winter season representing around 60% of the Group's income. According to the development in the first half-year, the Group is able to affect income and expenses well in advance to keep sufficient liquidity. The seasonality in the resort of Vysoké Tatry is balanced also by a strong summer season in this resort, and it provides more stable liquidity throughout the year. Payment of coupons on two tranches of bonds in total of EUR 180 mil. adds to the liquidity risk. Nevertheless, the increasing operating income comfortably covers the Group's debt service despite the high level of debt. The extent of the risk exposure is detailed in Consolidated Financial Statements, item 34.
TMR issued bonds in 2013/14 in total of EUR 180 mil. By issuing the bonds, TMR significantly increased its level of debt. At the same time, by decreasing share capital from EUR 221 mil. to EUR 47 mil. as of 22-10-2013, TMR's capital structure changed considerably in terms of the debtto-equity ratio. The change of this ratio may cause TMR difficulties in obtaining other external financing to finance future investments into its resorts or acquisitions. In case these difficulties in obtaining further financing should occur, TMR's growth rate may slow down. It is not certain whether the Group will be able to obtain external financing, or whether external debt will be obtained under favorable conditions. Inability to receive or a delay in receiving further external debt as well as financing terms, which differ from assumptions, may have a major negative impact on the operations, market position, sales, financial performance and financial outlook of the Group. For more information see Consolidated Financial Statements, item 31.
Operating risk is the risk of loss resulting from embezzlement, unauthorized activities, errors, mistakes, inefficiency or system failures. This risk arises from all activities of the Group and is faced by all segments within the Group. Operating risk also includes legal risk. The Group's goal is to manage the operating risk to avoid financial losses and protect the reputation of the Group while maintaining optimal costs and avoiding measures that would hinder initiatives and creativity. The Group's management has the main responsibility for implementation of controls related to the management of operating risk. This responsibility is supported by the development of standards for the management of operating risk common for the whole Group. The operational risk is managed by the system of directives, meeting minutes and control mechanisms. The Group's management strives to eliminate all operating risks by regular checks.
Risk Factors and Risk Management Risk Factors and Risk Management
Safety is of great concern to TMR since the Group operates in types of business with varied safety risks. TMR is obliged to mitigate safety risk and guard its clients and employees in the following situations:
The Group's business activities substantially depend on information technology (IT) - with ticket sales platforms (interconnected in ski resorts because of universal ski passes); on lift turnstiles; cableway equipment; and in shops, e-shop, restaurants, and hotels. Therefore, the Group takes extraordinary measures to mitigate the risk of break-down with high quality software and hardware components and a strong IT support in order to be able to operate under contingency mode.
The first pillar of TMR's corporate strategy is based on organic growth through capital investments into its resorts and hotels. Implementation of this strategy requires major capital. During past 11 years (including 2017) TMR had invested more than EUR 300 mil. into development of its resorts. Each investment project is carefully analyzed under different scenarios. Despite this fact, there is risk that some of the ongoing or planned projects may be less profitable than previously planned, or even at loss. Unprofitable investments may negatively impact the operations, market position, sales, financial performance, and financial outlook of TMR.
TMR plans to strengthen its position on regional markets also through new acquisitions. A risk exists that acquisitions of other entities will negatively impact future income and results of TMR, specifically in case of choosing the wrong acquisition target, unfavorable terms, or inability to receive permissions from relevant regulators (especially failure to obtain permission from the antimonopoly bureau). In case such event should happen, it may negatively impact the operations, market position, sales, financial performance, and financial outlook of TMR.
The Group's capital investments in protected outdoor areas may be subject to approvals of various governmental and environmental bodies. Since the Group conducts its operations mostly in mountainous areas, part of which belong to protected national parks, some capital investment projects may be subject to approval of various governmental bodies. Each new investment project in such area related to expansion of snowmaking, construction of a cableway, etc. must first undergo the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), one of main instruments of the international environmental policy of sustainable development, and it must be approved by relevant bodies of environmental protection. TMR's resorts in Slovakia are located in already urbanized areas and comply with all environmental regulations, although development of the SON resort in Poland as well as planned projects in Slovakia still need to undergo the EIA process.

In the prior year, the Group's total consolidated revenues reached EUR 95.910 mil. (81.202), an increase of 18.1%. Thereof, operating revenues amounted to EUR 95.683 mil. (80.577) and the rest, i.e. EUR 227 ths. (625) was other operating income. Revenues were positively influenced by higher visit rate in the resorts and leisure parks, higher average revenue per visitor in the mountain resorts, leisure parks and ancillary services, as well as a greater average daily room rate in Hotels and sale of recreational real estate. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
Another TMR's key financial performance indicator - EBITDA - reached EUR 31.516 mil. (25.111); which means an increase of 25.5%. Cost of sales increased by 25.5%, and personnel and operating costs were up 12.3%. The rise in personnel and operating costs was caused mainly by the pressure of the labor market to raise wages, new operations (Hotel Pošta, Reštaurácia Hrebienok), and launching activities in the Polish resorts, especially new attractions in Legendia. Operating profitability ratio (EBITDA margin) reached 32.9% (30.9).
The depreciation and amortization increased to the level of EUR 13.828 mil. (13.036).
Interest income of EUR 2.058 mil. (1.336) mainly stemmed from loans granted, earning fixed interest rates (see Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 20). Interest expense rose to EUR 12.094 mil. (10.958); they include mainly loan expenses and expenses of the issued bonds (see Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 12). Income from financial instruments, net fell to EUR 0,169 mil. (1.605) due to a positive revaluation from FY 2015/16 of the 19% share in CAREPAR, a.s., which owns 50% in Melida, a.s. - the operator of the Špindlerův Mlýn resort. In the past financial year TMR did not revalue the interest in CAREPAR, a.s. (see Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 13, 3e).
Payable income tax was EUR -728 ths. (-13). Total income tax was recognized in the amount of EUR -0.831 mil. (-1.312).
The Group recognized a net consolidated profit in the amount of EUR 6.990 mil. (2.746). Profit attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to EUR 7.370 mil. (3.061). EPS achieved a 140.8% growth to EUR 1.099(0.456). Total comprehensive income after accounting for foreign currency translation reserve and revaluation of securities held for sale amounted to EUR 7.146 mil. (2.671). The parent company reported a net profit of EUR 9.223 mil. (4.814).
The positive financial results can be attributed to the diversified business model and following of the corporate strategy, under which the Group took the following actions:
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in April 2017 the Board of Directors presented an investment plan for current calendar year with the estimated budget of EUR 83 mil. The actual capital expenditures of the completed and ongoing investments, including reserves, for the financial year 2016/17 totaled EUR 65.1 mil.1
In the past year TMR focused its investment activity on the Polish mountain resort Szczyrk and Silesian Amusement Park Legendia, where it invested more than EUR 44 mil. In Legendia rides got renovated, the main entry gate was modernized with new cash desks, stores, a stylish café, and a new brand - Legendia. The pedestrian zone got a new coating, new greenery was planted, and a new roller coaster was added - Lech Coaster, as well as Lech Restaurant.
In the Szczyrk resort investments flowed especially into infrastructure. Obsolete transportation systems were replaced with new, modern ones, and transportation got more efficient. Before the winter season 2017/18 three modern cableways with the transportation capacity of 7,800 persons per hour were added in the resort: a new 10-person gondola and two 6-person chair lifts. Besides these, a new blue ski trail was added, as well as snow-grooming vehicles, ski trail lighting, additional snowmaking, and a retention water reservoir. As for ancillary services, dining facilities, a sports store and a sports equipment rental service were added.
Another EUR 20 mil. was invested in Slovakia into the resorts of Vysoké Tatry, Jasná Nízke Tatry and Aquapark Tatralandia. The key investments in Jasná include the finalization of the cableway at Krupová-Kosodrevina, additional snowmaking, two new snow-grooming vehicles, and the opening of new Hotel Pošta****. At the end of the FY works on the first phase of the Jasná Center project were finalized. The two-story building houses a whole visitor service center. There is central dispatching with an info center and a customer service department, a ticket office, the
Financial Performance Review for the Year
The results of the past financial year 2016/17 were again positively impacted by a successful winter season in terms of snow conditions and visit rate and yet again by a good summer season. We observed increases in skier days in the winter season as well as in the number of visitors to the leisure parks in the summer. The higher visit rate and visitor spending were the key drivers of the double digit percentage revenue increase. Moreover, the long-lasting impact of the massive investment projects of development of the Tatra resorts and hotels from prior periods totaling EUR 230 mil. at the end of 2016 was reflected in the Group's results also in the last year and justified an increase of ticket prices, although the average revenue from online sale of ski passes remained unchanged. Besides higher average revenue per visitor in the mountain resorts and leisure parks, TMR managed to increase visitor spending also on ancillary services such as Dining and Sports Services & Stores, thus the share of these segments on the Group's total revenues increased again. Lastly, the sale of completed real estate projects also boosted the results.
Actual capital expenditures from the management reporting for the fiscal year 2016/17
52 53
ski school Maxiland, a self-service ski depot, a souvenir shop, and the luxury Crystal Bar with a view of Mt. Chopok and a sundeck. Escalators enable skiers a comfortable transfer from parking lots to ski trails. Tatralandia got new family attractions - amusement park Tatrapolis - exhibiting 12 metal miniature world-famous structures, as well as Halloween Land. Fun Park got renovated. In Vysoké Tatry rooms of Grandhotel**** Praha in Tatranská Lomnica got renovated in a "Classic" style. 62 rooms of Hotel FIS**** at Štrbské Pleso underwent a major renovation. The terraces of Hotel FIS**** and Mountain Hotel Hrebienok were extended. The interior of the start station of the cableway to Lomnický Peak was also modernized, and a new pier in the boat harbor at Štrbské Lake was built.
At the same time TMR executed numerous smaller investments, such as resurfacing the parking lot at Krupová, ski trails and snowmaking systems amendments, maintenance investments in the hotels and restaurants, and sports stores. Additional expenditures were spent on documents of future projects. CAPEX also included costs of real estate projects Chalets Jasná de Luxe, Hotel Pošta, and costs of preparing future projects in the High Tatras.
TMR continued in its active sales strategy also through direct marketing and building its loyal client base within the GOPASS program. GOPASS enables TMR clients to purchase TMR products and services online or via a mobile ap at special rates and by using its services in the resorts and hotels to earn loyalty points, as well. The points can be then applied against future purchases.
In April TMR again launched sale of Smart Season Pass - a season pass for the following season at discounted rates through its e-shop GOPASS.
As of the end of FY, there were 665 ths members registered in the GOPASS program, whereas 203 ths new members joined.
In the past year TMR agreed with the town of Liberec on the terms of lease of the Czech mountain resort Ještěd and on its operation. The lease contract was signed after the end of the financial year 2016/17, in December 2017. TMR plans to modernize the resort in two phases with an estimated budget of more than CZK 600 mil. Since July 2017 TMR has been renting and operating HUMNO - music club in Tatranská Lomnica. Since January 2017 TMR also has been renting and operating Hotel Kukučka in Tatranská Lomnica.
Financial Performance Review for the Year Financial Performance Review for the Year
Visit rate and average revenues per visitor in 2016/17 were positively impacted by great snow conditions during the majority of the winter season 2016/17 as well as by changing preferences of summer vacationers due to an unfavorable security situation in foreign vacation destinations. The growth was also boosted by Smart Season Passes and customized products and services via the GOPASS program. Mountain Resorts, including Štrbské Pleso and the Szczyrk resort, recorded a total of 2.287 mil. (2.121) visitors/ skier days2 , a 7.8% increase. Leisure Parks including Legendia - Silesian Amusement Park and Aquapark Tatralandia observed a 9% growth to 855 ths. (784) visitors.
Average revenues per visitor increased mainly in Leisure Parks, by 9.6% to EUR 13.45(12.28). Average revenues per skier day in Mountain Resorts increased 3.3% to EUR 14.37 (13.92), although with online sales the average revenue remained unchanged. The resort clients spent more in dining facilities on and off the slope and in the leisure parks, which improved the average revenues by 7.1% to 4.45EUR (4.16). Sports Services & Stores, which largely depend on performance of the resorts, grew in average revenues per visitor by 11.3% to EUR 1.94 (1.74) also thanks to the opening of additional branches, especially in Legendia.
The weighted average occupancy of the TMR hotel portfolio remained almost unchanged with 56.6% (56.5), whilst during the year 45 rooms of rented Hotel Kukučka were added, as well as 31 rooms of the new Hotel Pošta and two new chalets with four apartments at Otupné in Jasná, managed by TMR. Most of the hotels improved its occupancy, although Hotel Pošta was first opened in the

Average Revenues per Visitor
The total visit rate is measured by the number of entry passes sold in the aquapark and for cableways in the summer season and by the number of skier days in the winter season, i.e. a person visiting a mountain resort at any time of day or night, for the purpose of skiing, snowboarding or other type of downhill run. For example, one 4-day ticket means four skier days in mountain resorts, including Štrbské pleso, co-operated by TMR and the owner of the resort.
Revenues of Leisure Parks come mainly from sale of entry tickets to Aquapark Tatralandia and Legendia - Silesian Amusement Park and make up 13.0% (13.0) of total revenues. The revenues for last year grew by 18.5% to EUR 12.473 mil. (10.527). The revenue growth was achieved by a higher number of visitors and average revenue per visitor. The modernization of Legendia with new attractions also boosted the revenues. The second half of the financial year is traditionally stronger for Leisure Parks (May - October, 76% of the segment revenues), even though Aquapark Tatralandia runs its operations all year round, whereas Legendia is closed during the winter. EBITDA increased by 26.5% to EUR 4.724 mil. (3.735). Leisure Parks' operating profitability improved to 37.9% (35.5).
Revenues of this subsegment come from the Company's restaurants and après-ski bars in Jasná Nízke Tatry, Vysoké Tatry and both leisure parks. The last year's revenues of this segment make 13.9% (13.7) of total revenues. Revenues are evenly generated in the first (50%) and in the second half-year (50%). Total revenues of this subsegment reached EUR 13.302mil. (11.132), which means an increase of 19.5%. The subsegment's annual growth confirms the continuing trend of the clients' rising demand for ancillary services in the resorts. Thus, TMR sees further growth potential in this subsegment and expands and improves its dining operations. Operating profitability of this subsegment reached 23.1% (21.6), with EBITDA growing to EUR 3,071 mil. (2.402). This subsegment's success is partly dependent on success of the resorts and parks, as Dining provides supplementary services in Mountain Resorts and Leisure Parks. Opening new facilities, the increased visit rate, higher visitor spending, as well as numerous marketing events during the year contributed to the subsegment's positive results.
Revenues generated from sports stores, ski schools, ski rent and service in the Mountain Resorts under the Tatry Motion brand and revenues from stores in the leisure parks last year made up a 6.0% (5.8) share in total revenues. Revenues from this subsegment are closely related to the visit rate in Mountain Resorts and Leisure Parks, so they also followed the upward trend and increased 24.2% to EUR 5.800 mil. (4.670). In the summer season additional stores were opened in the modernized Legendia. As these supplementary services are used more in the winter season, the stronger half-year was the first one (58%). EBITDA improved by 18.3% to EUR 1.119 mil. (0.946). Operating profitability reached 19.3% (20.3).

(19.910) - an 11.8% growth. The segment's revenues are almost evenly distributed in terms of seasons. The first half-year was a little stronger (51%).

The results were also impacted by full occupancy especially during peak periods, such as New Year and the 'Golden week' (24/12- 6/1) and by a successful summer in the Tatras also thanks to the unfavorable security situation in foreign vacation destinations. EBITDA improved by 10.4% to EUR 4,859 mil. (4.402), corresponding with EBITDA margin of 21.8% (22.1).

TMR owns and operates major tourist resorts mainly in Slovakia and Poland. Majority is located in the area of national parks. The Group concentrates solely on traditional, already urbanized areas, where sports and tourism have been a tradition for decades.
From TMR's point of view protecting fauna and flora is a very important part of ongoing investments, and of continuing development of summer and winter tourism in the Tatras. Every investment is analyzed in terms of impact on the environment.
TMR in all of its investment and operational activities cares for environment protection and minimal impact on the natural environment. The Group takes environment into consideration during the course of its business activities and tries to minimize their impact in every segment. TMR's effort is to select services and products in such a way that the impact on the environment is minimal. Moreover, the Group does its best to restrict relatively the use of natural resources and optimize waste production. TMR spreads this attitude towards environment internally among its employees and externally within communities by means of initiatives and events.
The goal of TMR is to conduct business activities with a minimum energy and fuel consumption. With this goal in mind the Group also adapts its capital investments into new cableways. These new cableways are built with the latest energy efficient technologies from top world producers, like Doppelmayr and Leitner.
For its operations the Company utilizes "green energy" electric energy from renewable resources, i.e. solar, water, and wind energy, for which it was granted a certificate from the supplier.
In every segment the Group aims to utilize efficient management of operations at an optimal level of energy consumption, and moreover, the Group consistently works on improving operational efficiency. In addition to the selection of energy efficient cableways TMR also cares for the correct choice of trail-grooming vehicles that have lower emissions and thus decrease the impact on the environment.
TMR's projects of 2016/17 refer to activities of prior periods, when TMR made an active contribution to restoration of the areas, in which TMR's business activities are performed. The Group was also proactive in preparation of educational activities focused on various age groups of the population. TMR has been very active in cooperation with district tourist organizations (DTOs). TMR is a member of three DTOs covering the whole region of the Company's operation. It includes the following DTOs:
All the aforementioned organizations developed projects of common communication and/or support to the regional infrastructure aiming to improve their establishment on the tourism market. The parties involved managed to put together funds of businesses operating in tourism and local governments; and, in accordance with the Act on Tourism, the state contributed to the projects in form of grants; as a result funds were raised for common support of the regions.
The DTO Liptov Region operated in 2017 with the budget of more than EUR 1.92 mil. It ran several projects to support summer and winter tourism, and to make regional services more attractive. The key events with the goal to support summer and winter tourism included: a summer campaign in TV JOJ, online campaigns on the domestic, Polish, and Czech market, and a fun family game - The Treasures in Liptov. In the winter season the operation of a ski & aqua bus ran again. The campaign 'You can find everything in Liptov' communicated the Liptov region's wide offer and helped to boost the number of room nights. The DTO Liptov Region led other projects to boost hiking and cycling: a navigation system in Demänovská Valley and in Liptovský Trnovec; the info trail 'The story of water' in Demänovská Valley; a kids' playground at Vrbické Lake; the info trail 'The Bear Path' in Hrabovska Valley; and marking of new 40 km of cycling tracks. The key mutual projects included the discount card Liptov Region Card, which more than 65 thous. Liptov tourists applied for in 2017. The organization organized LiptovFest - a festival of good fun, food, and experiences, visited by 4,300 paying visitors; then the opening of the summer and winter tourism season in Liptov; and it co-financed events 'Riding Easter Egg to Mt. Chopok', 'Dragon Nights', 'Winter Music Opening', 'Ratrak Stage', and 'Hero Season Trophy'.
The DTO Liptov Region became a 50% shareholder in the travel agency Region Tatry Travel s.r.o., which serves as the common sales headquarters for destination management of regions Liptov and the High Tatras. The agency's main goal in the first year was to create an attractive product portfolio for potential foreign partners and basic communication tools (website, promotional material) to present the agency's products under the common marketing brand 'Enjoy Tatras'.
Last year the DTO High Tatras Region made a contribution to the common projects in the amount of EUR 1.1 mil. sourced from membership fees and with a EUR 957 thous. state grant. The key events included - 'Tatry Ice Master', 'Snow Dogs', 'Venetian Night at Štrbské pleso', 'Bear Days at Hrebienok', 'Marmots at the Lake', and construction of Tatry Ice Dome, which was available to visitors from December to April. As part of marketing activities, common promotion materials were made, such as summer and winters maps, guides to Tatra experiences, hiking in the winter, photos, and product videos for the MICE client segment, and an accommodation catalogue. The High Tatras DTO sponsored the entire TATRY Card project. The DTO built statistics, ran surveys and analyses with the aim to follow the strategic vision of the location's growth. Infotours were organized for media and for tour operators from Poland, Hungary, Austria, Turkey and others. The DTO attended fairs and exhibitions in the following cities: Warsaw, Krakow, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, London, and at ITF Slovakiatour. It continued to support marketing of airline connections London - Poprad, Riga - Poprad, and Kiev - Poprad. The DTO entirely organized and free transport for visitors and Tatry Card holders during the winter season by the ski & aqua bus and in the summer by boosting eco tram connections. provided comfortable shuttle service for visitors with regular ski bus lines connecting three ski resorts and two crosscountry skiing resorts from Brezno and Banska Bystrica. The Horehronie region has become a paradise for young skiers as, besides a perfect skiing, visitors can pick a movie in the Mostar cinema or they go for a swim in a renovated swimming pool. Tatry Magazine All DTOs supported their common image magazine for visitors of Tatras named Tatry Magazine. The magazine provides a lifestyle communication of attractions, events, prominent people and news in the broad Tatra region. Nature and Children Education promoting positive approach to nature is apparent in many of the Company's activities. The key projects focused on such tutorial and educational tasks are projects such as 'The Treasure of Demian, the Dragon', 'Tatra Wilderness', 'Snow Dogs' and 'Bear Days'.

The DTO Horehronie Region operated in 2017 with the budget of EUR 136 thous. The region of Horehronie has a big tourist potential, which the DTO supports through destination management, and thus boosts demand for the region among domestic and foreign tourists. As part of marketing and promotional activities abroad, it attended the Go & Regiontour expo in Brno, which is considered the top promotional event for tourism in Central and Eastern Europe. The international online campaign was targeted mainly at Hungarian clients. On the Slovak market the online and print promotion of the Bike & E-Bike region Horehronie dominated during the summer months. The DTO provided production and print of new cycling and hiking maps of the whole Horehronie region. Cooperation with rentals of bikes and electronic bikes turned out successful, and cycling is becoming the top product of the summer season and the offseason. The top events included 'The Royal Days of Horehronie' or 'Bombur Festival' in the town of Brezno. The DTO showcased traditions to visitors during 'Easter Joys' or 'Days of Valach Culture' at Mýto pod Ďumbierom. With a series of sports events such as 'Horehronie FIT DAY 2017', 'BIKETOUR through Horehronie 2017', or 'Hotelier Cup' the DTO boosted visitors' activities in the region. The DTO Horehronie Region kicked off the winter season together with the DTO Liptov Region in the Jasná resort. A few weeks later it prepared the winter season opening at the south covering even larger area is presently under construction in the High Tatras. The nature trail named Tatry Wild resulted from TMR's cooperation with the State Forests Enterprise of TANAP National Park and the Management of TANAP National Park. This project gradually expands from Tatranská Lomnica, through Hrebienok to Štrbské Pleso. The most attractive part of the project is the eco-mini park Marmot Cave at Skalnaté Pleso - an environment-friendly educational and fun park for children. Green Chopok In September 2017 the 4th annual Green Chopok event took place at Mt. Chopok as a public proposal of people of Liptov for cleaner mountains. Besides cleaning the trails, mountain fans also planted trees. The event was attended by primary school students, as well as seniors from a tourist club and mountain fans from all Slovakia. More than 300 attendees of Green Chopok managed to plant 2,000 trees. The activists went through five tons of rocks and garbage left from the winter season on the area of three hectares. The event's positive impact and a great interest from public are the reason that it will take place again next year.

Corporate Social Responsibility
In Slovakia, TMR has been interested in the Tatras for a longer period and the Company plans to add some more investments. However, TMR says that further development of skiing and tourism in the Tatras is not sustainable without a solving the transport situation in a complex way and looking for alternative ecological means of transport. In order to lead a constructive discussion about the Tatras, the Company initiated a platform called 'What kind of Tatras do we want' at www.aketatrychceme.sk, which has been used to present positive examples of making reasonable business in the Tatras and inspirations from various resorts in Europe and around the world. TMR has been using the 'What kind of Tatras do we want' - platform to formulate the vision of the Tatras from the point of view of entrepreneurs and at the same time to get feedback and opinions about the development of the Tatras from people around Slovakia. Views of entrepreneurs and investors who are interested in developing this area and improving the quality of services here should be as relevant as opinions of other parties. Of almost 1,300 respondents from all around Slovakia that were included in the research, 75% said the issue of the development of the High Tatras referred to the whole territory of Slovakia. Only 12% of them think that it is only a matter of inhabitants that live in the town of Vysoké Tatry and 9% hold the view that the Tatras should be dealt with on the regional level.
The Group proactively supports sport events in its resorts, either as a partner or as a sponsor. In the last period, TMR participated in the following sports races:
TMR supports talented pro skiers that are members of the Slovak Skiing Association and that have achieved extraordinary performance results in the past year, have represented Slovakia in international races, and have finished in top ranks in alpine disciplines. TMR's support covers EUR 20 thousand per athletes, plus ski passes and aqua passes.
TMR supports ski courses with special rates in top Slovak resorts, best equipped with cableways, snowmaking, and the size and length of ski trails. TMR regularly offers ski courses for all types of primary schools, high schools and universities at special rates.
TMR supports good ideas and activities focused on the outdoors where it is centered. The goal of the Tatra Knights project is to motivate pupils to contribute to environmental care and to intensify their interest. It also motivates pupils to keep studying the importance of sustaining biodiversity and eco topics not taught in schools. The national ecological project Tatra Knights focuses on pupils of primary schools and high schools. During the prior school year the pupils competed in ecological categories, and the best classes were picked in June 2017. TMR supported the project financially and with material procurement. TMR's employees took part in judging and helped to execute the winning ecological projects. The projects of three winning schools of Rejdová, Dobšiná, and Rakovec nad Ondavou, ready to be executed, ended the first annual Tatra Knights project.

Human resources are an important factor in the Group's success, thus the HR department continues to follow the preset course of enhancing the processes in the HR management, jobs stabilization, continuing employee education, and utilization of all modern HR tools in order to achieve quality, stability, and the Group's growth.
The annual average number of the Group employees for the financial year 2016/17 totaled 1,289 (1,090). This proves that the Group is considered a major and credible employer. Despite the Group's positive business performance, jobs seasonality is still present. The Group hires a high number of full-time employees and contractors especially before the winter and summer season, which shows efficient human capital management. In comparing with prior years, differences between the summer and winter season are diminishing. By efficient utilization of human resources we were able to decrease the number of seasonal employees and stabilize full-time employees.
TMR strives to provide equal employment opportunity, as seen in the graph below. The Group employs 52.0% men and 48% women, and this ratio is closer to balance with each year. TMR gives an employment opportunity to young people without prior professional experience, as well, as 36% of our employees belong to the 18-30 age group and 28% are between 31 - 40 years old. Employees with age 41 - 50 make up 19%, and 18% of employees are over 50.
In 2016/17 the Group published 518 job offers and recorded 6,531 responses. The increase in the job offers published is the reflection of the labor market which is facing a lack of skilled labor force in the whole EU. Due to this status quo TMR puts emphasis on internal learning, requalification of the human capital, and employees' personal growth, thus TMR prefers internal recruitment in the hiring process.
The key performance indicator of TMR's employees is TMR's clients' satisfaction and their return to TMR's resorts. On the other hand, it is important for the Group to monitor satisfaction of its employees and to focus on their personal and professional growth.
Last year several projects were launched aimed to support and speed up employees' integration (new and senior) as well as to support communication among all resorts, passing of information among all employees on the Group's

news, its strategy, new projects, and strengthening and adoption of corporate values.
TeMeR newspaper - subtitled "Newspaper not only for Tatry mountain resorts employees" was published in 2,500 copies in Slovak and Polish in three editions. TeMeR newspaper is one of the communication channels distributing up-to-date information on the Group.
Employee brochure - provides basic information on TMR, on its acquisitions, values, its vision and social program. It serves as a guide in the onboarding process and provides useful information also for long-time employees. The brochure was published in 3,000 copies and was distributed among all the employees as well as among the new ones. The updated online version is available to all employees.
In 2017 the Company conducted an employee satisfaction survey - Corporate Identity No. 3.The survey was focused on efficiency of the application of remedial measures from prior surveys as well as on new feedback from the employees.
Evaluation dialogues - are another tool to raise employee performance by setting goals and their evaluation. Setting of personal and career growth is a part of the dialogues, as well as defining job learning for the following year. In 2016/17 automatization of the evaluation dialogues was implemented.
TMR puts emphasis on building relationships with high schools and universities in a way so that the Group can create an efficient source of qualified and highly professional employees. TMR focuses on decreasing unemployment of young people caused by differences between skills of school graduates and employers' expectations. Therefore, TMR successfully joined the dual education system in the school year 2016/17, and in the school year 2017/18 the number of participating students increased 64%. In the school year 2016/17 there were 22students of Hotel Academy in Liptovský Mikuláš involved in its operations. In the school year 2017/18 16 more students joined the program from Otto Brückner Hotel Academy in Kežmarok. There are 48 students in total participating in the dual education program. Students perform professional practice in TMR's hotels and restaurants - Grandhotel Praha, Hotel Kukučka, HUMNO Restaurant & Music Pub, Restaurant Skalnaté pleso, Hotel Grand Jasná, Hotel Tri Studničky, Restaurant Paradiso, and Zbojnícka koliba restaurant. Currently, other TMR operations are undergoing accreditation for the program. TMR has also a cooperation memorandum signed with the Catholic University of Ružomberok in the form of participating in the ERAZMUS plus programs. There are 20 foreign full-time students of the university working part-time for TMR.
Employment by Segments
This way TMR strives to maintain a high level of its employees' qualification by preparing its future employees for the exact technologies and equipment that it uses in its operations. By dually educating students with focus on demand of the labor market, TMR creates an opportunity for a long-term and stable company growth; and by having joined the dual education model it reacts on higher client requirements, which gives it a competitive advantage in its business sector.
The Group supports a continuing development of skills, knowledge, and employee loyalty on all levels in order to enable them to efficiently fulfill their job duties, improve their job performance, and to create further advancement opportunities for the employees. In 2016 the Group created and recruited professionals for the new department of learning and development, which has executed an analysis of the employees' learning needs based on the Company strategy, goals, and the system of regular job performance evaluation of the employees. The department keeps a check on the level of personal profile, potential, and qualification of each employee and sets individual development plans. The department further prepared a learning plan for 2016/17, a catalogue with internal learning courses, and a financial plan for external learning. In 2017 the department ran 205 courses for 2,042 employees during 935 hours, i.e. 8,915 attendee hours.
The well designed social program includes many activities, the goal of which is to fully unify TMR employees and to achieve comprehension and adoption of TMR goals in order to build corporate culture and create a feeling of corporate togetherness. The employees have a chance to use a wide variety of employee benefits. Also this way TMR wants to enable the employees and their families to try out all the services that TMR offers, and thus to boost the overall transfer of knowledge about the products and last but not least to spread positive word of mouth in their networks.
In 2017 the validity of the benefits was extended from 12 to 17 months. Also, benefits were distributed to employees who had worked for 10 years for the Company and left, and to those who have retired.
TMR's corporate governance is regulated by the principles and methods outlined in the Company Articles, TMR's Code of Conduct, in the Corporate Governance Code of companies in Slovakia, in the Rules of Organization and in the set of managing acts (guidelines), which are published at the Company's registered office.

As to the Best Practices for GPW Listed Companies 2016 required by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Company's corporate governance does not accord with the Best Practices in the following issues:
I.Z.1.3. A company should operate a corporate website and publish on it, in a legible form and in a separate section: a chart showing the division of duties and responsibilities among members of the management board drawn up according to principle II.Z.1;
Partially met. Currently, the Company website does not present such chart. However, the website lists members of the Board of Directors with description of their roles, and their short CV.
I.Z.1.15. A company should operate a corporate website and publish on it, in a legible form and in a separate section: information about the company's diversity policy applicable to the company's governing bodies and key managers; the description should cover the following elements of the diversity policy: gender, education, age, professional experience, and specify the goals of the diversity policy and its implementation in the reporting period; where the company has not drafted and implemented a diversity policy, it should publish the explanation of its decision on its website;
Not met. Even though the Company strives to enable equal employment opportunity and employs 52% men and 48% women, it has not yet prepared and implemented a diversity policy for its statutory bodies and top management, thus such policy is not published on the Company website either. Main criteria for selecting candidates for key positions and statutory bodies are competency and fulfillment of requirements for a given role; not factors such as sex or age.
I.Z.1.20. A company should operate a corporate website and publish on it, in a legible form and in a separate section: an audio or video recording of a General Meeting;
Not met. Currently, the Company does not publish audio or video recordings from its General Meetings as the benefit of these recordings is not justified in comparing to high costs associated with them and they do not fit within the budget for the General Meeting.
II.Z.1. The internal division of responsibilities for individual areas of the company's activity among management board members should be clear and transparent, and a chart describing that division should be available on the company's website.
Partly met. The Company presents its internal division of responsibilities among members of the Board of Directors on its website in wording.
II.Z.3. At least two members of the supervisory board should meet the criteria of being independent referred to in principle II.Z.4.
Not met. None of the Supervisory Board members meets the criteria of independence referred to in principle II.Z.4. Even though the Company considers two members of the Supervisory Board, elected by the Company employees, as independent, since they hold non-managerial roles in the Company, according to the current Best Practices for GPW Listed Companies 2016, they cannot be considered independent.
II.Z.10.1. In addition to its responsibilities laid down in the legislation, the supervisory board should prepare and present to the ordinary general meeting once per year an assessment of the company's standing including an assessment of the internal control, risk management and compliance systems and the internal audit function; such assessment should cover all significant controls, in particular financial reporting and operational controls;
Partly met. The Supervisory Board presents to the Annual General Meeting a report prepared according to the legislation and the Company's Articles of Association.
Partly met. The Supervisory Board's report has not so far included a description on supervisory board members' fulfilment of the independence criteria, since the Company automatically considers members, elected by the Company employees and who are not shareholders, as independent.
IV.Z.2. If justified by the structure of shareholders, companies should ensure publicly available real-time broadcasts of general meetings.
Not met. The Company has not so far broadcasted its General Meetings publicly, since potential benefit of the General Meeting being broadcasted does not outweigh costs associated with its organizing. The Company does not exclude the possibility of broadcasting its General Meetings in the future, although such decision is subject to the approval of shareholders at the General Meeting by amendment of the Articles of Association.
IV.Z.3: Presence of representatives of the media should be allowed at general meetings.
Presence of third parties is usually allowed based on the proposal by the Board of Directors at Annual General Meetings. At the Annual General Meetings in 2017 a proposal was presented by the Board of Directors to allow presence of third parties at the General Meeting. This proposal was adopted by the shareholders and third parties were allowed to attend the General Meeting. The Company does not exclude a possibility that it will allow attendance of third parties at all General Meetings, although such decision would have to be preceded by the approval of the shareholders at the General Meeting in the form of change in Articles of Association.
VI.Z.4. In this activity report, the company should report on the remuneration policy including at least the following:
Partly met. The Company publishes its general remuneration rules for the Board of Directors and
Supervisory Board and the total sum of remuneration of the Board of Directors, Top Management and Supervisory Board. The Company has not entered into any agreements with any members of bodies or employees under which the company would be obliged to provide such members or employees with any compensation if their office or employment terminates by resignation, notice served by the employee, removal, notice served by the employer without giving a reason or if their office or employment terminates as a result of an acquisition offer. The Company does not disclose information about non-financial remuneration, as it has not been material so far, nor assessment of the implementation of the remuneration policy in terms of achievement of its goals, in particular long-term shareholder value creation and the company's stability.

Tatry mountain resorts, a.s. (the "parent company" or the "Company") is a joint stock company with its registered office and place of business in Demänovská Dolina 72, 031 01 Liptovský Mikuláš. The Company was established on 20 March 1992 and incorporated on 1 April 1992. The Company's identification number is 31 560 636 and its tax identification number is 2020428036.
The Company's shares have been registered on the Bratislava Stock Exchange since 19 November 1993, on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) since 15 October 2012 and on the Prague Stock Exchange (BCCP) since 22 October 2012. On 22 August 2013, an extraordinary General Meeting was held, which decided on a reduction in the share capital of the Company Tatry Mountain Resorts, a.s. from EUR 221,338 thousand to EUR 46,950 thousand, i.e. by EUR 174,388 thousand. Subsequently, in the course of 2014, the Company made two bond issues in the total nominal value of EUR 180,000 thousand, which have been admitted to trading on the Bratislava Stock Exchange since 19 February 2014. See Note 31 – Bonds issued.
In 2009, the Company decided to change its accounting period from the calendar year to a financial year from 1 November to 31 October. The change was to make the accounting period more realistic, as the Company's operations were subject to seasonal variations.
On 1 May 2013, the parent company Tatry mountain resorts, a.s. and subsidiaries GRANDHOTEL PRAHA a.s., Interhouse Tatry s.r.o. and Tatry mountain resorts services, a.s, merged. On that day, the company Tatry mountain resorts, a.s. became the successor company, and assumed all legal, trade and other liabilities, as well as the assets of its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries ceased to exist by the merger with the parent company, and then were expunged from the Commercial Register.

The Company's bodies are:
Ing. Bohuš Hlavatý, Chairman (since 30 June 2009) Ing. Branislav Gábriš, Vice-Chairman (since 18 February 2011) Ing. Andrej Devečka, Member (since 22 December 2011) Ing. Jozef Hodek, Member (since 30 June 2009)

The Consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU and in accordance with Act No. 431/2002 Coll. of the National Council of the Slovak Republic on Accounting ("Act on Accounting").
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2018.
The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost principle, while the investment property and financial instruments measured at fair value were revalued to their fair value through profit or loss. Available-for-sale securities were revalued to their fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group's Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis.
On 17 December 2018, the Company will pay out the bond in amount of 71,575 ths. EUR including coupon. The amount of bond liability was 69,752 ths. EUR as at 31 October 2017. The management of the Company plans to issue a new bond, which will be used to refinance the original bond, to maintain financial stability.
The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in thousands EUR. The accounting standards have been consistently applied by the Group companies in accordance with the prior accounting period.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU requires the application of various judgements, assumptions and estimates which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. However, actual results will likely differ from these estimates. Critical accounting estimates and judgements which were made by management and which bear a significant risk of material adjustment in the next accounting period are discussed in Note 3– Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and also in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
When preparing the Consolidated financial statements, the Group applied the following International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to the standards and interpretations as adopted by the EU, which are effective for the accounting period starting 1 November 2016:
The application of the standards mentioned below has had no significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendment to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendment to IAS 1 clarifies, not significantly changing, the existing requirements. The amendment explains:
Further, the amendment explains the requirements for additional reporting of partial results in the statement of financial position and in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. These amendments have no impact on the Group.
Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendment clarifies the principles of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets, according to which revenue reflects the economic benefits generated from the plant's operation (including the assets) rather than economic benefits arising by using the assets. The result is that the revenue-based method cannot be applied to amortise property, plant and equipment, and it can only be applied under very extraordinary circumstances for the amortisation of intangible assets. The amendment applies prospectively, with no impact on the Group as the Group does not apply the revenue-based method to amortise non-current assets.
Amendment to IAS 27 Equity method in the separate financial statements effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and are applied retrospectively. Earlier application is allowed. Amendment to IAS 27 allows the company to use the Equity method in separate financial statements when accounting for interest in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures. The Group does not plan to ise the Equity method when accounting for interest in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures.
International Financial Reporting Standards that have been issued but are not effective yet
As of 31 October 2017, the following significant International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to and interpretations of the standards, which have not become effective yet, and thus were not applied by the Group when preparing these financial statements, were issued and thereafter adopted by the EU (save for significant standards referred to hereafter, which have not yet been adopted by the EU).
In January 2016, IASB issued an amendment to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows in order to improve disclosure of financing activities and help users better understand the liquidity of a reporting entity. The standard requires an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (e.g. profit and loss from the movement of foreign currencies). The amendment is effective from 1 January 2017. The Group does not expect significant impact of this standard on cash flow statement
Amendment to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses clarifies that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact. The amendment is effective from 1 January 2017, with an earlier application of the standard being permitted. If an entity applies the amendments for an earlier period, it must disclose that fact. No impact of the amendment on the Group is expected.
In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective for the periods starting on 1 January 2018, with earlier adoption being permitted. IFRS 15 defines the principles for reporting revenue, and it will be applicable to all contracts concluded with customers. The new Standard provides a framework that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance in IFRS. Entities will adopt a five-step model to determine when to recognise revenue, and at what amount. The new model specifies that revenue should be recognised when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognised:
IFRS 15 also establishes the principles that an entity shall apply to provide qualitative and quantitative disclosures which provide useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.
Management is still evaluating the possible impact of IFRS 15 on the financial statements of the Group, however the Group does not expect that first time adoption of the standard will have significant impact on the financial statements. Management of the Group does not expect, that the moment when revenue is recognised and in what amount will changed based on the IFRS 15, due to the nature and types of revenue that the Group has.
IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016, replacing IAS 17 Lease, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives, and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The Standard eliminates the current dual accounting model for lessees and instead requires companies to bring most leases on-balance sheet under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For such contracts, the new model requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated and the liability accrues interest. This will result in a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when the lessee pays constant annual rentals.
The new Standard introduces a number of limited scope exceptions for lessees which include:
Lessor accounting, however, shall remain largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases will be retained.
IFRS 16 is effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier application of the standard is permitted if the new IFRS 15 will also be efficient. Lessee has to apply IFRS 16 either by using the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. It is expected, that first time adoption of the standard will have significant impact on the financial statements, as it is required to recognise assets and liabilities from operating leases in statement of financial position, where the Group act as a lessee. This applies mainly on operating lease of lands. The quantitative impact analysis of the new standard is not known yet.
In July 2014, IASB issued a final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, except that the IAS 39 exception for a fair value hedge of an interest rate exposure of a portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities continues to apply, and entities have an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 or continuing to apply the existing hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39 for all hedge accounting until the standard resulting from the IASB's project in macro hedge accounting is effective.
Although the permissible measurement bases for financial assets – amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) – are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into the appropriate measurement category are significantly different.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the following two conditions are met:
In addition, for a non-trading equity instrument, a company may elect to irrevocably present subsequent changes in fair value (including foreign exchange gains and losses) in OCI. These are not reclassified to profit or loss under any circumstances. For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest revenue, expected credit losses and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the same manner as for amortised cost assets. Other gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are reclassified to profit or loss on derecognition.
The impairment model in IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model, which means that a loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognised. The
new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.
Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases: 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date;
Lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
IFRS 9 includes a new general hedge accounting model, which aligns hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The types of hedging relationships – fair value, cash flow and foreign operation net investment – remain unchanged, but additional judgment will be required.
The standard contains new requirements to achieve, continue and discontinue hedge accounting and allows additional exposures to be designated as hedged items. Extensive additional disclosures regarding an entity's risk management and hedging activities are required.
The Group plans to apply the new standard starting from the effective date. The Group started analysing the impact of the new standard on the balance sheet and assets and increased amount of allowances to loans provided is expected, however the quantitative impact is not known yet. The management of the Group is not expecting any significant impact.
The amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and should be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a properly does not provide evidence of a change in use. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investmnet property and there is evidence of the change in use. The Group does not expect that first time adoption of the amendments will have significant impact on the financial statements, as the Group transfer property into, or out of investment property only in case of the change in use of the property.
The IASB has issued a set of amendments to standards. Annual improvements to IFRS 2014 – 2016 Cycle (issued on 8 December 2016), effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018, except changes in IFRS 12 that are effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Further, Annual improvements to IFRS 2015 – 2017 Cycle (issued on 12 December 2017), effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. These annual improvements have not been adopted by the EU yet.
Also adoption of the following interpretations and amendments, will not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Company. Interpretations have not been adopted by the EU yet.
The Interpretation IFRIC Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Entities may apply the amendments on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply the Interpretation prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognised on or after:
(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation Or
(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation.
The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early application of interpretation is permitted and must be disclosed. However, since the Group's current practice is in line with the Interpretation, the Group does not expect any effect on its financial statements.
The Interpretation IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:
An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, but certain transition reliefs are available. The Group will apply interpretation from its effective date. Since the Group does not operate in a complex multinational tax environment, applying the Interpretation may not significantly affect its financial statements and the required disclosures.
The Group has not adopted any other IFRS standards adopted by EU early where adoption is not mandatory at the date of preparation of the financial statements. Where transition provisions give an entity the choice of whether to apply new standards prospectively or retrospectively, the Group has decided to apply the standards prospectively.
Subsidiaries are those enterprises that are controlled by the Group. The control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise, so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's interests in other entities based on the Group's power to control such entities regardless of whether the control is actually exercised or not. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the day of origin of the control until the day of cessation of the control.
Associates are those enterprises in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when a company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights of another entity. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis (equity method) from the day of origin of the significant influence until the day of cessation of the significant influence. Investment in associate is recognised initially at cost. When the Group's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount of such an associate is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.
The consolidation as at 31 October 2017 includes five companies and at 31 October 2016 includes three companies. The parent company and four (for 2016: two) subsidiaries prepared their financial statements as at 31 October. The list of all companies included in the consolidation is provided in Note 39 – Group entities.
iv. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains or losses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Acquisition-related costs are recognised directly in profit or loss.
The acquiree's identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed that meet the recognition criteria under IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Otherwise the difference is reassessed and any excess remaining (negative goodwill) after the reassessment is recognised directly in profit and loss.
The non-controlling interest is measured as a proportionate share of identifiable assets of the acquiree's identifiable assets.
The accounting principles and procedures applied by the consolidated companies in their financial statements were unified in the consolidation, and comply with the principles applied by the parent company.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the foreign exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the financial statements date at the exchange rate of the European Central Bank valid at that day.
Foreign exchange differences arising from such translations are recognised through profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are measured at cost, are translated into euros using the exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into euros at the foreign exchange rates valid at the dates the fair values are determined. Foreign currency translation reserve includes all foreign exchange differences that arise from the transfer of financial statements of foreign entities within the consolidation group.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Loans granted are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments, not quoted in an active market, which are not classified as available-for-sale securities, financial assets held to maturity or as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Available-for-sale securities are those non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, loans and advances to banks and customers or as financial assets held to maturity.
Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are those that the Group principally holds for trading, that is, with the purpose of short-term profit taking.
Loans granted are recognised on the day they are provided by the Group.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale securities are recognised on the date the Group commits to purchase the assets.
Financial instruments are measured upon initial recognition at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and available-for-sale securities, which are measured at fair value.
The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the financial statements date without any deduction for acquisition-related costs. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated by the management using the pricing model or discounted cash flow techniques.
Where the discounted cash flow method is used, estimated future cash flows are based on the management's best estimates and the discount rate is the market rate at the date of the financial statement for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. Where pricing models are used, inputs for these models are based on market-related factors at the date of the financial statement.
Gains and losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and directly in equity for available-for-sale securities. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are derecognised from other equity to profit or loss at the moment of sale.
A financial asset is derecognised when the Group loses control over the contractual rights that comprise that asset. This occurs when the rights are realised, expire or are surrendered by the Group.
Available-for-sale assets that are sold are derecognised and the corresponding payable receivables to buyers are recognised as at the date the Group commits to sell the assets.
Loans and advances to customers are derecognised as at the day they are paid/ settled by the Group.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks, short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and short-term highly liquid investments readily convertible for known amounts of cash.
Inventories are measured at the lower of acquisition cost (purchased inventory), respectively in own costs (incurred by own activity), and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. Purchased inventories are measured at cost, which includes the purchase price and other directly attributable expenses incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Own costs include direct costs and indirect costs associated with acquiring inventories by own activity.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and their net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, other than inventories (refer to the accounting policy under letter g)), investment property (refer to the accounting policy under letter l)), financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (refer to the accounting policy under letter c)), available-for-sale securities (refer to the accounting policy under letter c)) and deferred tax assets (refer to the accounting policy under letter p)) are reviewed at each financial statements date to determine whether there is objective indication of impairment of the asset. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation, but are tested annually for impairment as part of the cashgenerating unit to which they belong.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Loans granted are recognised net of value adjustment for losses on loans. Value adjustments are determined on the basis of the state of the loan and performance of the borrower and the value of any collateral and all third-party guarantees is taken into account.
The recoverable amount of receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed upon initial recognition of these financial assets). Short-term receivables are not discounted.
If assets available for sale caused a decrease in fair value recognized directly in equity and if objective reasons exist that prove that there was a decrease in the fair value of the assets, the cumulated loss recognized in equity shall be reported in the profit and loss statement even if the relevant financial asset had not been reversed from the financial position. The amount of loss recognized in the profit and loss statement is the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value, adjusted for the impairment of the financial asset already recognized in profit and loss. A decrease in fair value of more than 20% of the acquisition cost or a decrease in fair value below the acquisition cost that lasts continuously more than nine months in case of securities investments is considered an impairment.
The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their value in use less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss in respect of receivables carried at amortised cost is reversed if the increase in the recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.
In the case of goodwill, an impairment loss cannot be decreased subsequently.
In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed or decreased when there is an indication that the impairment loss no longer exists and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss can only be reversed or decreased to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Single items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)). Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site where it was located. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, those components are accounted for as Consolidated items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Agreements on lease of assets in relation to which the Group assumes substantial part of risks and benefits of ownership are classified as financial leasing. Leased assets are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum leasing payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)).
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the part of property, plant and equipment will flow to the Group and the relevant cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures including the costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
Except as specified below, depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of individual items of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Buildings | 30 - 45 years |
|---|---|
| Individual movables and sets of movables | |
| Geothermal borehole | 40 years |
| Slides | 25 years |
| Cableways, ski lifts, and leisure attractions | 12 - 40 years |
| Equipment | 3 - 25 years |
| Fixtures and fittings and others | 2.5 - 10 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, as well as residual values, are reassessed annually as at the financial statement's date. Each significant part of property, plant and equipment (component) with cost significant in relation to the total cost of the relevant item is depreciated Consolidatedly.
Borrowing costs attributable to the asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its use or sale are capitalised by the Group as part of the cost of the asset.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisitiondate amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included under intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in the investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is reassessed and any excess remainder of the negative goodwill after the reassessment is recognised in profit or loss. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value on the acquisition date if the intangible asset is separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are recorded at cost net of impairment loss. Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortized over the useful life and are stated at cost net of accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Software and other intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)). Useful life of these assets is reassessed regularly. Lease contracts refer to valuation of rights from long-term lease contracts.
Amortisation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date the asset is available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Valuable rights each item uses an individual depreciation plan, based on the estimated useful lives if these assets, valuable rights also include trademarks which represent non-depreciated assets. The Group uses 2, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 50-year useful lives for its valuable rights.
Investment property represents assets that are held by the Group to generate rental income or to realise a long-term increase in value, or for both of these purposes.
Investment property is stated at fair value, which is determined by an independent registered expert or by the management. Fair value is based on current prices of similar assets on an active market under the same location and the same conditions, or where such conditions are not available, by applying the generally applicable valuation models such as the yield method. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Assets that are constructed or developed for their future use as investment property are measured at fair value if the fair value can be determined reliably.
Details on the valuation of investment property are specified in Note 3(a) – Critical accounting estimates and assumptions, Valuation of investment property.
Rental income from investment property is accounted for as described in the accounting policy under letter (o).
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal, contractual, or non-contractual obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Long-term provisions the reduction of which to their present value would have a material impact on the financial statements are discounted to their present value.
Liability of the Group resulting from long-term employee benefits other than pension plans represents the estimated amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The liability is calculated using the projected unit credit method, discounted to its present value. A discount rate used to calculate the present value of liability is derived from the yield curve of high-quality bonds with maturities close to the conditions of the Group's liabilities as at the date of the financial statements preparation.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised as expenses at the time of provision of the service by the employees. A payable is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or contractual obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Interest income and expense is recognised in profit or loss in the period to which it relates using the effective interest rate basis. All expenses on loans and borrowings are recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of capitalised borrowing costs; refer to the accounting policy under letter (j), part (v).
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Income tax on the profit for the current accounting period comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the current accounting period, using tax rates valid as at the date of the financial statement's preparation, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous accounting periods.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method and calculated from all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences weren't taken into account: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. No deferred taxes are recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Income tax is recognised directly in profit or loss, except for the part that relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the income tax is recognised in equity.
Deferred tax asset and liability are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the payable tax liability and asset, and they relate to the same tax authority and the taxable entity.
A deferred tax asset is only recognised up to the amount of probable future taxable profits against which the unused tax losses and credits can be offset. Deferred tax assets are reduced by the amount for which it is probable that the related tax benefit will not be realised.
Payments made under operative leasing are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Minimum leasing payments of financial leasing are divided into interest and instalments of the principal. Interest is allocated to each period during the term of the lease so as to express a constant periodic rate of interest for the period applied to the unpaid part of the principal
Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost (see point (w) Financial liabilities).
The Group recognises seven types of basic revenues from services rendered:
The Group recognizes revenues in a scope in which economic benefits are likely to flow to the Group, and these revenues can be easily valued. Revenues are recognized at fair value. Revenues are accrued depending on in which period the services were rendered, excluding revenues from leisure parks, hotel services and restaurant facilities, which are recognised in profit or loss after the service has been rendered. Revenues from services rendered do not include value added tax. They are also net of discounts and rebates (rebates, bonuses, discounts, credit notes and the like).
Since 2012 the Group has been running a loyalty program for its clients – GOPASS. GOPASS enables its clients to earn points for purchase of products and services in its resorts and to redeem these points as discounts from future purchases. The amount of unredeemed points are recognized as a decrease in sales against revenue time difference, as they are related to promised discounts from future purchases of clients. The Group monitors the value of unredeemed points and revalues it on a regular basis for its recognition in the financial statements.
Other services include in particular the services provided in relation to accommodation, such as the rental of premises including hotels disclosed as investments property, parking, wellness, massage, sale of souvenirs, etc. Revenues from rental are recognised over the duration of the rental, with accruals. Revenues from real estate projects are recognised following the transfer of rights and obligations and related risks on to buyer, to which occurs at the day of transfering the ownership rights. Revenues from the sale of souvenirs and other goods shall be recognised following the transfer of significant risks and benefits from the particular goods. Other revenues from services provided shall be recognised following the provision thereof.
Dividends are recognised in the statement of changes in equity and also as liabilities in the period in which they are approved.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group held for sale) are re-measured in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. Thereafter, upon initial classification as held for sale, the assets and disposal group held for sale are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except for inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies.
Impairment losses on initial recognition as held for sale are recognised in profit or loss even if the revaluation reserve was created. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent measurements. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated or amortised.
In case that, after the asset assignment into the group of assets held for sale, value is realized mainly through use rather than sale thereof, the assets shall be accounted back and depreciation or amortization for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets shall be recognised in the period when such change of assets arose.
Operating segments are parts of the Group that are able to generate income and expenses with available financial information, which is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The management monitors 7 main segments, namely mountain resorts, leisure parks, hotels, dining, sports services and stores, real estate, and other.
The Group recognises financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. The Group does not recognise any financial liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss.
In the Group's Consolidated statement of financial position, other financial liabilities are recognized as received loans and borrowings, bonds issued, trade payables, other liabilities and current tax liabilities.
Financial liabilities are recognised by the Group on the trade date. Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Upon measurement at amortized cost the difference between the cost and the face value is recognised through profit or loss during existence of the asset or liability using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's obligation specified in the contract expires, is settled or cancelled.
The following notes summarise the main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial assets and liabilities referred to in Note 32 – Fair value information:
Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. Expected future cash flows are estimated considering credit risk and any indication of impairment. The estimated fair values of loans reflect changes in credit status since the loans were made and changes in interest rates in the case of fixed rate loans.
For loans and borrowings with no defined maturities, fair value is taken to be the amount payable on demand as at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statement. The estimated fair value of fixed-maturity loans and borrowings is based on discounted cash flows using rates currently offered for loans and borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the nominal amount is deemed to reflect the fair value. Other receivables/payables are discounted to determine the fair value.
The preparation of the financial statements according to the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU requires the application of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires that the management, in the application process of the Group accounting principles, should use its judgement. These accounting estimates will, therefore, rarely conform to the actual results. Estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are described below. The estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. If the review of the accounting estimates applies only to one accounting period, it is reported in that period; if the review affects current and future accounting periods, it is reported in the period when the review was performed as well as in the future periods.
The acquiree's or part of business's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised and measured at their fair value on the date of acquisition. The allocation of the total cost among the net assets acquired for financial reporting purposes is performed with the support of professional advisors or the Group's management. The valuation is based on historical and prospective information available as of the date of the business combination. Any prospective information that may impact the fair value of the acquired assets is based on management's assumptions of the future development of competitive and economic environments. The results of the valuation analyses are also used for determining the amortisation and depreciation periods of the values allocated to specific intangible and tangible fixed assets.
On 14 September 2016, the Group acquired a 51% interest in a Croatian company, TIKAR D.O.O. (TIKAR). The Group paid EUR 1.4 thousand (HRK 10.2 thousand) for this 51% interest. On 21 October 2016, an agreement on the increase of TIKAR's share capital and entry of a new shareholder was signed. Under the agreement, the share capital was increased from the original HRK 20 thousand to HRK 2,500 thousand, while the Group interest in TIKAR dropped to 0.408%. Therefore, as of 31 October 2016 the Group recognises this investment as Financial investments (see Note 24 – Financial investments). The acquisition of TIKAR as a subsidiary during 2016 and its consequent reclassification as a financial investment did not have significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Real estate investments are recognised at fair value. The fair value of real estate investments is determined either by an independent court expert or the property is valued by the management (see Significant accounting policies, note l). In both cases the valuation is based on current market values and conditions. Market value represents the estimated value for which a property could be exchanged on the valuation day between potential seller and potential buyer in the form of a transaction based on independent parties after reasonable marketing, in which each party acts in an informed manner, prudently and without compulsion.
In the absence of actual market prices, the valuation takes into account the estimated net cash flows from property lease and capitalisation income, which reflects the specific risks inherent to a given market and also to the cash flows arising from the property.
The valuation reflects (where relevant) the type of lessees who use the property or are responsible for the fulfilment of lease liabilities or the type of prospective users, if the property is left non-rented, the general market perception of lessee solvency, the distribution of responsibilities related to maintenance and insurance of property between the Group and the lessees, and the remaining life of property.
As of 31 October 2017 the investments in property included three hotels (SKI, Liptov, Kosodrevina) and the Otupné accommodation facility with the aggregate carrying amount of EUR 1,982 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 1,982 thousand), which are leased out to third parties operating them, as well as forest areas and lands obtained as an acquisition in 2009 in the carrying amount of EUR 4,572 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 4,572 thousand). The value of hotels was determined by estimate of the hotels' management in a manner stated above. The value of lands was determined by the management using market prices, with the final value being based on the estimated market price per square metre depending on the type of land and market transactions for lands of similar character.
As at 31 October 2017, the Group management, based on current market conditions, revalued the value of investments in property and evaluated, that the value of contractual and market lease did not change significantly. Based on the performed evaluation, there was no need to adjust the value of investments in property.
If the fair value of that part of investment in real estate determined based on the management's estimates is different from the management's estimates by 10%, the carrying amount of investments in real estate would be higher or lower by EUR 655 thousand compared to the amount reported as of 31 October 2017 (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 655 thousand).
As of the date of the financial statements, the Group assesses whether the goodwill has not been impaired. If the indicator of possible impairment is not detected, the Group is, in accordance with IAS 36, testing goodwill recognised in business combinations during the current accounting period and goodwill recognised in prior accounting periods for possible impairment annually on 31 October, i.e. as of the date of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements.
On the day of acquisition, the acquired goodwill is assigned to individual cash-generating units (CGU) for which it is expected to benefit from synergies arising in business combinations. Potential impairment of goodwill is determined by comparing the recoverable amount of CGU and its book value. The value of return is determined by the value in use. This value was derived from the business plan prepared by the management.
The key prerequisite which was also the most sensitive factor in determining the recoverable amount, was expected revenues assessed by the management, profitability and cost of capital used as the discount factor for future net cash flows. The expected revenues as well as profitability (EBITDA) are based on changes in customer target groups, strengthened marketing and increased quality of the services rendered. Projecting of cash flows applied in determining the value in use covers a medium-term period of 5 years and subsequent extrapolation for the next period. Based on such standard level of cash flows, the terminal value was calculated with the expected growth of cash flows at 2.2% p.a. (2016: 2.2%). The discount rates used in the projecting of cash flows were calculated as a weighted average cost of capital and amounted to 6.81% for Slovakia in 2017 and 6.5% in 2016 (accounting for income taxes).
In 2017 and 2016, goodwill was tested within CGU Vysoké Tatry, and the test did not show any reason for asset impairment. Goodwill acquired by the acquisition in 2015 of the Polish resort Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o has been tested as of 31 October 2017 and 2016 as part of the impairment test. See Note 3(d). The test did not show any reason for asset impairment.
If as at 31 October 2017, the projected EBITDA of CGU Vysoké Tatry, which is part of the projected cash flows was lower than 5% in comparison with management's estimates, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit in the location of High Tatras would drop by EUR 10,238 thousand. In such a case, it would not be necessary to account for the asset impairment or goodwill even at a lower EBITDA reached. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management's estimate, i.e. its value was 7.31 %, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit for the location of High Tatras would drop by EUR 17,762 thousand. Here again it would not be necessary to account for asset impairment or goodwill even at a higher discount rate.
If as at 31 October 2016, the projected EBITDA of CGU Vysoké Tatry, which is part of the projected cash flows was lower than 5% in comparison with management's estimates, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit in the location of High Tatras would drop by EUR 8,995 thousand. In such a case, it would not be necessary to account for the asset impairment or goodwill even at a lower EBITDA reached. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management's estimate, i.e. its value was 7.00 %, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit for the location of High Tatras would drop by EUR 21,386 thousand. Here again it would not be necessary to account for asset impairment or goodwill even at a higher discount rate.
As of the date of the financial statements, the Group assesses whether the assets have not been impaired. IAS 36 requires the testing of asset impairment in cases where external or internal indicators would point possible asset impairment.
The Group carries on 6 principal activities: running of mountain resorts, leisure parks, restaurant services, sports services and shops, accommodation services and real estate projects, namely in five locations: Jasná (the Low Tatras), in the High Tatras, and in Liptovský Mikuláš, and in Szczyrk and Chorzow in Poland. Each of the locations was assessed by the management as an individual cash-generating unit (CGU). he Group monitors the performance and creates independent budgets for individual cashgenerating units. The Group assets were allocated to individual cash-generating units according to the material competence, whereas all assets, i.e. also the hotels, catering establishments and sports services and shops are included in individual cash-generating units, except for ski lifts and cableways.
As of 31 October 2017 and 2016, the Group's management having considered the Group asset impairment, besides the impairment tests for the CGU Vysoke Tatry as goodwill is related to it as stated in par. 3(c), impairment tests have been done for both resorts (locations and individual CGUs) in Poland due to the fact that the planned indicators have not been achieved, which was analysed as an indicator of possible asset impairment of the Group. No indicators for asset impairment have been identified for CGUs in Slovakia.
Potential asset impairment is determined by comparing the recoverable value of the CGU and its book value. The recoverable value is determined by value in use. The value in use has been derived based on the business plan prepared by the management. Profitability and the cost of capital used as the discount factor for future free cash flows were the key assumption and the most sensitive indicator for determining the recoverable value. Expected revenues and profitability are based on changes in target customers groups, boosted marketing, and quality enhancement of services provided. Modelling of future cash flows used in determining the value in use covers a medium term of 5 years with the following extrapolation for next periods. Based on such normalized cash flows the terminal value was calculated assuming a terminal growth of 2.2% per anum. The discount rate used in projecting cash flows was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital and equalled 7.50% for Poland in 2017 (2016: 7.29%) (after accounting for income taxes). The asset impairment test did not result in need of asset impairment for either CGU in Poland.
If the projected EBITDA of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o., as of 31 October 2017, which is a part of projected cash flows, was 5% lower each year in comparing with the managemen's estimate, the value in use of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o. would decrease by EUR 2,005 ths. In this case it would not be necessary to recognise asset impairment or goodwill even by achieving of a lower EBITDA. If the discount rate was 0.5 p.p. higher than the management's estimate, i.e. it would equal 8.00%, the value in use of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o. would decrease by EUR 3,679 ths. Even in this case it would not be necessary to recognize asset impairment or goodwill not even when using a higher discount rate.
If the projected EBITDA of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A, as of 31 October 2017, which is a part of projected cash flows, was 5% lower each year in comparing with the managemen's estimate, the value in use of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A, would decrease by EUR 1,359 ths. In this case it would not be necessary to recognise asset impairment or goodwill even by achieving of a lower EBITDA. If the discount rate was 0.5 p.p. higher than the management's estimate, i.e. it would equal 8.00%, the value in use of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A,. would decrease by EUR 2,495 ths. Even in this case it would not be necessary to recognize asset impairment or goodwill not even when using a higher discount rate.
If the projected EBITDA of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o., as of 31 October 2016, which is a part of projected cash flows, was 5% lower each year in comparing with the managemen's estimate, the value in use of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o. would decrease by EUR 10,515 ths. In this case it would not be necessary to recognise asset impairment or goodwill even by achieving of a lower EBITDA. If the discount rate was 0.5 p.p. higher than the management's estimate, i.e. it would equal 7.79%, the value in use of the CGU Ślaskie Wesole Miasteczko Sp. z o. o. would decrease by EUR 5,157 ths. Even in this case it would not be necessary to recognize asset impairment or goodwill not even when using a higher discount rate.
If the projected EBITDA of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A, as of 31 October 2016, which is a part of projected cash flows, was 5% lower each year in comparing with the managemen's estimate, the value in use of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A, would decrease by EUR 7,858 ths. In this case it would not be necessary to recognise asset impairment or goodwill even by achieving of a lower EBITDA. If the discount rate was 0.5 p.p. higher than the management's estimate, i.e. it would equal 7.79%, the value in use of the CGU Szczyrkowski Ośrodek Narciarski, S.A,. would decrease by EUR 4,328 ths. Even in this case it would not be necessary to recognize asset impairment or goodwill not even when using a higher discount rate.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined on the basis of:
If the quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using valuation techniques. When using the valuation models, the management uses estimates and assumptions which are consistent with available information about estimates and assumptions which have been used by market participants to determine the prices of a particular financial instrument.

As of 31 October 2017, the Group recognises, within Level 2, a financial investment in CAREPAR, a.s. (19% interest) in the amount of EUR 2,041 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 2,041 thousand). This company owns a 50% interest in Melida a.s., which leases and operates the ski resort Špindlerův Mlýn in the Czech Rep. Since CAREPAR, a.s. as of 31 October 2017 besides the 50% interest in Melida, a.s. does not report any other significant assets or liabilities, the fair value of the investment was determined as 9.5% of the estimated fair value of Melida, a.s.
The fair value of Melida, a.s. was estimated, as of 31 October 2017 and 2016, by the Group's management using the discounted cash flow method, with the application of input from the business plan and of cash flow estimates. The business plan and cash flow estimates were consistently reviewed before application by the Group's management. The lease of the ski resort is set till 2032, thus the future cash flows were projected from 2018 (respectively for the estimation of the value in 2016 from 2017) until 2032. The main preconditions used in the valuation were the estimated cash flows, EBITDA, its growth and the discount rate. Projected EBITDA for 2018 was EUR 5,196 ths. (2016: EUR 4,794 ths). For 2019 it is expected to grow by 7%, for 2020 by 5%, from 2021 to 2023 it is expected to grow by 3% per year and from 2024 to 2032 by 2% per year. The discount rate applied in the valuation of such financial assets used as at 31 October 2017 was in amount of 8.70% (2016: 8.54%).
If in the calculation as at 31 October 2017 the EBITDA projected for MELIDA a.s., which is a part of the projected cash flows, was 5% lower every year compared to the management estimates, the value of investment in CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 208 ths. EUR. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value would be 9.20%, the value of CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 63 ths. EUR.
If in the calculation as at 31 October 2016 the EBITDA projected for MELIDA a.s., which is a part of the projected cash flows, was 5% lower every year compared to the management estimates, the value of investment in CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 187 ths. EUR. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value would be 9.04%, the value of CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 52 ths. EUR.

Both the above bonds are book-entry securities in bearer form and the issue of the bonds was approved by the National Bank of Slovakia. The liability resulting from the TMR II bond is subordinate to the liability from the TMR I bond. The funds from both bonds were credited to the Group's account on 11 February 2014 in total of EUR 180,582 thousand, including the aliquot interest income from the TMR I bond in the amount of EUR 582 thousand.
The Company committed to maintain the ratio of senior debt (excluding the bonds TMR II) / EBITDA at the level up to 6.5 and DSCR (including expenses related to payment of coupons of bonds TMR I and II) at the level of at least 1.00. Both tranches are obliged to pay coupons regularly, financed from the Company's own resources. Coupons on the TMR II bonds may be paid out only once a year after presenting final audited consolidated financial statements to Tatra banka a.s. for the prior period, based on which the following covenants must be met: (i) net profit after taxes will be higher than EUR 1.00 and (ii) index Senior debt (without bonds TMR II)/ EBITDA equals maximum 5.25. In case the covenants are not met, the coupon will be capitalized, i.e. not paid out, and will further bear interest until: (i) the maturity date of TMR II, or (ii) the above-mentioned indicator of senior debt (excluding the bonds TMR II) / EBITDA is maximum 3.00 (but the DSCR covenant of minimum 1.00 must be met).
Out of the total liability value of EUR 184,842 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 184,702 thousand), the short-term portion of EUR 6,022 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 6,022 thousand) is a coupon liability due in the course of 2017 and 2018.
In order to secure the bonds issued, a pledge was created over the Group's real estate in total of EUR 79,819 thousand. It concerns assets not used to secure other liabilities of the Group.

As of 31 October 2017, other receivables contain the advance provided mainly for the future acquisition, i.e. the cableway operator, in the amount of EUR 19,451 thousand (as of 31 October 2016: EUR 19,451 thousand). The Group intends to buy that company in the future. The contract is concluded with AIRAVATA Holding s.r.o. for the period of one year and, therefore, the carrying amount of the advance provided does not materially differ from its fair value.
The Group rents land with ski slopes and cableways and rents some vehicles based on the operating lease contracts. Major contracts for lease of lands are concluded for the period of 30 years with another 10-year option. The major contracts have 1 year notice period.
Costs of operating lease for the period ending 31 October 2017 recognised in the profit or loss represented EUR 4,586 thousand (for the period ending 31 October 2016: EUR 2,711 thousand).

This section provides details about the risks the Group is exposed to and about the method of management thereof. The Group is exposed to risk in the following areas:
The management is fully responsible for the establishment and supervision of the Group's risk management.
The Group's primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables, lease receivables, other receivables and advances and loans provided. The amount of credit risk exposure is represented by the carrying amounts of these assets in the balance sheet if no form of guarantee is issued. The carrying amount of receivables, advances and loans provided represents the maximum accounting loss that would have to be recognised if the counterparty completely failed to perform its contractual obligations and all collaterals and guarantees would be of no value. Therefore, this value highly exceeds the expected losses included in the provision for unrecoverable receivables. Before the conclusion of major contracts, the Group's management evaluates the credit risk related to the counterparty at its regular meetings. Provided material risks are identified, the Group withdraws from concluding the contract.
As of 31 October 2017, the Group was exposed to the following credit risk:

Liquidity risk arises in the general financing of the Group's activities and financial positions. It includes the risk of being unable to finance assets at an agreed maturity and interest rate and inability to realize assets at a reasonable price in a reasonable time frame. Individual companies in the Group use different methods of managing liquidity risk. Group's Management focuses on managing and monitoring the liquidity of each company controlled by the Group. In order to manage liquidity, the management changed its accounting period to a financial year ending 31 October. In the first half of its accounting period the Group has the winter season representing 60% of the Group's income. Based on the development in the first half of the year, the Group is able, in good time, to affect the income and expenditures to maintain sufficient liquidity. In the Vysoké Tatry resort, seasonality is compensated also by a strong summer season, providing for a more stable liquidity through the entire year.
The following table includes an analysis of financial assets and liabilities of the Group classified by the remaining maturity. This analysis represents the most prudent alternative of the remaining maturities including the interest. Therefore, the earliest repayment possible is reported for liabilities and the latest repayment possible is reported for assets. Assets and liabilities without a defined maturity are reported together in the "not specified" category.

As of 31 October 2017, loans granted for up to 1 year amount to EUR 21,307 thousand (As of 31 October 2016: EUR 27,552 thousand), most of which are payable at request or until October 2018. These loans will not be paid off within a year. The Group plans to draw these financial resources according to its needs in order to finance its investment activity and acquisitions. The loan granted is expected to be paid off within 3 years. The carrying amount of Other receivables includes the advances provided where they are not expected to be settled in cash, but by means of a transfer of shares within 3 years.

Because of the acquisition of subsidiaries in Poland during 2014 and 2015, the Group is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk of Polish zloty versus euro. The Management regularly monitors whether the difference between receivables and payables in the foreign currency is not too big. As of 31 October 2017, the Group recognised property, plant and equipment in total of EUR 52,288 thousand (2016: EUR 16,418 thousand), intangible assets of EUR 7,158 thousand (2016: EUR 6,862 thousand), other assets of EUR 19,375 thousand (2016: EUR 4,126 thousand), loans received of EUR 28,789 thousand (2016: EUR 1,138 thousand), deferred tax liability of EUR 907 thousand (2016: EUR 2,029 thousand) and other liabilities in total of EUR 3,928 thousand (2016: EUR 1,255 thousand) originally denominated in Polish zloty. Other assets and liabilities of the Group are denominated in euros. There is a secondary risk that the weakening of the Polish zloty or Russian rouble against the euro would lead to a reduction in the number of visitors to Slovakia from these countries. The Group's management is not able to quantify value of this risk for sure.
Appreciation of euro by 1% versus Polish zloty would have the following impact on financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group:
| in TEUR | 2017 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|
| PLN | 516 | -995 |
Depreciation of euro by 1% versus Polish zloty would have a comparably large but opposite impact on financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group as opposed to appreciation.
The Group's operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations. The volume of this risk equals the sum of interestearning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for which the interest rate differs at maturity or re-pricing compared to current interest rates. The period for which the interest rate of a financial instrument is fixed therefore indicates to what extent the Group is exposed to interest rate risk.
The overview below provides information about the extent of the Group's interest rate exposure based on the contractual maturity date of its financial instruments.
As of 31 October 2017 and 31 October 2016, the Group has the following interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities:
| in TEUR | 31.10.2017 | 31.10.2016 |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed interest rate | ||

| Payables | 184,842 | 184,702 |
| Variable interest rate | ||
| Assets | - | - |
| Payables | 94,438 | 45,053 |
Sensitivity analysis for instruments with variable interest rate A change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have the following effect on profit or loss and cash flow sensitivity:
| in TEUR | Profit (Loss) | |
|---|---|---|
| 100 bb growth | 100 bb decline | |
| 31 October 2017 | ||
| Instruments with variable interest rate | -944 | 934 |
| Effect | -944 | 934 |
| in TEUR | Profit (Loss) |
| Instruments with variable interest rate | -451 | 451 |
|---|---|---|
| Effect | -451 | 451 |
Interest-bearing liabilities of the Group bear variable interest rates based on EURIBOR and WIBOR. The Group considers a variable interest rate to be a self-management of the interest rate risk. EURIBOR grows under economic expansion, but also the economic performance of the population grows and the Group has higher revenues and earnings. It is quite the opposite under economic recession.
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from embezzlement, unauthorised activities, error, omission, inefficiency or system failure. This risk arises in the case of all of the Group's activities and all companies within the Group are exposed to such risk. Operational risk includes also the risk of lawsuit.
The Group's objective is to manage the operational risk so as to prevent financial losses and damage to Group's reputation within the effectiveness of costs spent to achieve this objective, while avoiding measures hindering initiative and creativity. The primary responsibility for the implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to the Group's management. This responsibility is supported by preparation of standards for management of operational risk applicable for the whole Group. Operational risk is managed by a system of directives, minutes from meetings and control mechanisms. The Group has a controlling department established, where it tries to eliminate all operational risks by way of regular checks.
The Group is also exposed to risk of adverse weather-related conditions. The resort attendance is dependent on the volume and period of snow. Adverse conditions negatively affect the number of skiers and the Group's revenues or profit or loss. Warm weather may disproportionately increase the cost of production of artificial snow and change the area for skiing. Historically, the region of the Low Tatras had an average of 80 cm of snow during the winter season and the High Tatras region had 85 cm of snow. The start of the winter season and the snow conditions affect the perception of the whole season by skiers. The Group is unable to reliably predict the snow conditions at the beginning of the winter season. Thanks to the use of snow-making systems, snow conditions during the winter season are stable every year.
As shown in the following overview, the Group has a related-party relationship with its shareholders who have significant influence in the Group and other parties; as of 31 October 2017 and 31 October 2016 or during the period from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2017 and 1 November 2015 to 31 October 2016:
Information about remuneration of key management is provided in Note 10 – Personnel expenses.
Apart from personnel expenses, the Group has receivables towards key management as of 31 October 2017 EUR 68 thousand (2016: EUR 68 thousand), due the loans provided and revenues from these loans in amount of EUR 2.5 thousand for the accounting period 2017 (2016: EUR 2.5 thousand).
Since none of the shareholders has an ownership exceeding 20% or otherwise has significant influence in the Group, shareholders are not recognised as related parties, and the transactions mentioned above or any balances are not understood as transactions with related parties.
Tatry mountain resorts, a.s. and Subsidiary Companies
On 13 December 2017, the Group paid the coupon of the TMR I bond in the amount of EUR 1,575 thousand.
On 5 February 2018, the Group paid the coupon of the TMR II bond in the amount of EUR 6,600 thousand.
In the course of 2014, the Group made two bond issues (see Note 31 - Bonds issued) in the total nominal value of EUR 180,000 thousand, which have been admitted to trading on the Bratislava Stock Exchange since 19 February 2014. The Company committed to maintain the ratio of senior debt (excluding the bonds TMR II) / EBITDA at the level up to 6.5 and DSCR (including expenses related to payment of coupons of bonds TMR I and II) at the level of at least 1.00.

Notes to the Individual Financial Statements for the period from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2017
The separate financial statements for the period from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU and in accordance with Art 17a), par. 3 of Act No. 431/2002 Coll. of the National Council of the Slovak Republic on Accounting ("Act on Accounting").
Since the company has share in subsidiaries, IFRS and the Act on Accounting require the preparation of consolidated financial statement. The company has not consolidated its subsidiaries in this separate financial statement. The investments in subsidiaries are recognized at cost (net of impairment losses, if any) and dividend returns are recognized at the moment when the Company became entitled to receiving dividends from those companies. The Company applies similar treatment to associates. The Company prepares consolidated financial statements that shall be published by the end of February 2018 and that shall be available at the Company headquarters and on the Company's website.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2018.
The separate financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost principle, while the investment property and financial instruments measured at fair value were revalued to their fair value through profit or loss. Available-for-sale securities were revalued to their fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company's separate financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis.
On 17 December 2018, the Company will pay out the bond in amount of EUR 71,575 thousand including coupon. The amount of bond liability was EUR 69,752 thousand as at 31 October 2017. The management of the Company plans to issue a new bond, which will be used to refinance the original bond, to maintain financial stability.
The separate financial statements have been prepared in thousands EUR.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU requires the application of various judgements, assumptions and estimates which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. However, actual results will likely differ from these estimates. Critical accounting estimates and judgements which were made by management and which bear a significant risk of material adjustment in the next accounting period are discussed in Note 3– Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and also in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
When preparing the separate financial statements, the Company applied the following International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to the standards and interpretations as adopted by the EU, which are effective for the accounting period starting 1 November 2016:
The application of the standards mentioned below has had no significant impact on the Company's financial statements..

In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , effective for the periods starting on 1 January 2018 with earlier adoption permitted. IFRS 15 defines the principles for accounting for revenues and will be applicable to all contracts concluded with customers. The new Standard provides a framework that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance in IFRS. Entities will adopt a five-step model to determine when to recognise revenue, and at what amount. The new model specifies that revenue should be recognised when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognised:
IFRS 15 also establishes the principles that an entity shall apply to provide qualitative and quantitative disclosures which provide useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.
Management is still evaluating the possible impact of IFRS 15 on the financial statements of the Company, however the Company does not expect that first time adoption of the standard will have significant impact on the financial statements. Management of the Company does not expect, that the moment when revenue is recognised and in what amount will changed based on the IFRS 15, due to the nature and types of revenue that the Company has.
IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The Standard eliminates the current dual accounting model for lessees and instead requires companies to bring most leases on-balance sheet under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For such contracts, the new model requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated and the liability accrues interest. This will result in a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when the lessee pays constant annual rentals.
The new Standard introduces a number of limited scope exceptions for lessees which include:
Lessor accounting, however, shall remain largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases will be retained.
IFRS 16 is effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier application of the standard is permitted if the new IFRS 15 will also be efficient. Lessee has to apply IFRS 16 either by using the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. It is expected, that first time adoption of the standard will have significant impact on the financial statements, as it is required to recognise assets and liabilities from operating leases in statement of financial position, where the Company act as a lessee. This applies mainly on operating lease of lands. The quantitative impact analysis of the new standard is not known yet.
Amendment of IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative , applicable for the accounting periods starting on 1 January 2016 or later. Amendment of IAS 1 clarifies the existing requirements, without significantly changing them. The amendment clarifies:
Furthermore, the amendment explains the requirements for additional accounting for partial results in the financial situation statement and in the profit and loss statement as well as other parts of the complex result. These amendments have no effect on the Company.
Changes and amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation, applicable for the accounting periods starting from 1 January 2016 or later. The amendment clarifies the principles of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets,according to which the revenues reflect the economic benefits originating by the use of assets. As a result, the yield method cannot be used for depreciation of property, plant and equipment and may be only used for depreciation of intangible assets under very exceptional circumstances. The amendment becomes valid prospectively and has no impact on the Company, since the Company does not the yield method to depreciate non-current assets
Amendments to IAS 27 Equity method in Separate Financial Statements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 or later and should be applied retrospectively. Sooner application is allowed. The amendments to IAS 27 allos the company to use the Equity method in separate financial statements when accounting for interest in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures. The Company does not plan to ise the Equity method when accounting for interest in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures.
As at 31 October 2017, the following International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to and interpretations of the Standards were issued, which have not become effective yet, and thus were not applied by the Company when compiling these Financial Statements.
In January 2016, IASB issued the amendment to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows aimed at improving the disclosure of financial activities and helping the users to better understand the liquidity of the reporting company. According to the new requirements, the company will have to disclose the changes in its financial obligations resulting from financial activities, as the changes in cash flows and non-monetary items (e.g. profit and loss from the movement of foreign currencies). The amendment is effective from 1 January 2017. The Company does not expect significant impact of the amendment on the cash flow statement .
Amendment to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses clarifies that the unit has to consider whether or not the tax act restricts the sources of taxable profits against which the unit may apply the deduction of application of the temporary differences. Furthermore, the amendment provides procedures how the company has to determine the future taxable profit and explain the circumstances, based on which the taxable profit may contain return of some assets at a value higher than its residual value. The companies have to apply changes retrospectively. Upon initial adoption of changes, the change in the initial state of equity for an earlier comparative period may be recognized in the initial state of retained earnings (or in another
part of equity as needed), without allocating the change between the initial state of the retained profit and other equity item. The companies applying this measure have to disclose this fact. The amendment is effective from 1 January 2017 with earlier application of the standard permitted. If a company applies the changes earlier, it has to be disclosed. No significant impact of the amendment on the Company is expected.

The IASB has issued a set of amendments to standards. Annual improvements to IFRS 2014 – 2016 Cycle (issued on 8 December 2016), effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018, except changes in IFRS 12 that are effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Further, Annual improvements to IFRS 2015 – 2017 Cycle (issued on 12 December 2017), effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. These annual improvements have not been adopted by the EU yet.
Also adoption of the following interpretations and amendments, will not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Company. Interpretations have not been adopted by the EU yet
The Interpretation IFRIC Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Entities may apply the amendments on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply the Interpretation prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognised on or after:
(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation Or (ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation.
The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early application of interpretation is permitted and must be disclosed. However, since the Company's current practice is in line with the Interpretation, the Company does not expect any effect on its financial statements.
The Interpretation IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:
How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, but certain transition reliefs are available. The Company will apply interpretation from its effective date. Since the Company does not operate in a complex multinational tax environment, applying the Interpretation may not significantly affect its financial statements and the required disclosures.
The Company has not adopted any other IFRS standards adopted by EU early where adoption is not mandatory at the date of preparation of the financial statements. Where transition provisions give an entity the choice of whether to apply new standards prospectively or retrospectively, the Company has decided to apply the standards prospectively.

In July 2014, IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, except that the IAS 39 exception for a fair value hedge of an interest rate exposure of a portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities continues to apply, and entities have an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 or continuing to apply the existing hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39 for all hedge accounting until the standard resulting from the IASB's project in macro hedge accounting is effective.
Although the permissible measurement bases for financial assets – amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) – are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into the appropriate measurement category are significantly different.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the following two conditions are met:
In addition, for a non-trading equity instrument, a company may elect to irrevocably present subsequent changes in fair value (including foreign exchange gains and losses) in OCI. These are not reclassified to profit or loss under any circumstances. For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest revenue, expected credit losses and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the same manner as for amortised cost assets. Other gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are reclassified to profit or loss on derecognition.
The impairment model in IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model, which means that a loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognised. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.
Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases:
IFRS 9 includes a new general hedge accounting model, which aligns hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The types of hedging relationships – fair value, cash flow and foreign operation net investment – remain unchanged, but additional judgment will be required.
The standard contains new requirements to achieve, continue and discontinue hedge accounting and allows additional exposures to be designated as hedged items. Extensive additional disclosures regarding an entity's risk management and hedging activities are required.
The Company plans to apply the new standard starting from the effective date. The Company started analysing the impact of the new standard on the balance sheet and assets and increased amount of allowances to loans provided is expected, however the quantitative impact is not known yet. The management of the Company is not expecting any significant impact.The amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and should be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a properly does not provide evidence of a change in use. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investmnet property and there is evidence of the change in use. The Company does not expect that first time adoption of the amendments will have significant impact on the financial statements, as the Company transfer property into, or out of investment property only in case of the change in use of the property.

Subsidiaries are all enterprises that are controlled by the Company. The control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise, so as to obtain benefits from its activities. . The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost.
Associates are those enterprises in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when a company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights of another entity. Investments in associates are recognised at cost.
The cost of financial investments is derived from the amount of spent cash or cash equivalents or is recognised at fair value of contributed assets and liabilities to acquire the enterprise at the moment of acquisition. Costs related to acquisition (transaction costs) are included in the cost of the investment.
As at the reporting date, the management reconsiders whether any events occurred which could cause impairment of financial investments. Potential impairment of financial investments below their cost is recognised through a value adjustment. Value adjustments are derived from the value of future cash flows discounted to present value.
Items included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The separate financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the foreign exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the financial statements date at the exchange rate of the European Central Bank valid at that day.
Foreign exchange differences arising from such translations are recognised through profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are measured at cost, are translated into euros using the exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into euros at the foreign exchange rates valid at the dates the fair values are determined.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks, short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and short-term highly liquid investments readily convertible for known amounts of cash.

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Loans granted are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments, not quoted in an active market, which are not classified as available-for-sale securities, financial assets held to maturity or as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Available-for-sale securities are those non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, loans and advances to banks and customers or as financial assets held to maturity.
Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are those that the Company principally holds for trading, that is, with the purpose of short-term profit taking.
Loans granted are recognised on the day they are provided by the Company.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale securities are recognised on the date the Company commits to purchase the assets.
Financial instruments are measured upon initial recognition at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and available-for-sale securities, which are measured at fair value.
The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the financial statements date without any deduction for acquisition-related costs. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated by the management using the pricing model or discounted cash flow techniques.
Where the discounted cash flow method is used, estimated future cash flows are based on the management's best estimates and the discount rate is the market rate at the date of the financial statement for an instrument with similar terms and conditions.
Where pricing models are used, inputs for these models are based on market-related factors at the date of the financial statement.
Gains and losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and directly in equity for available-for-sale securities. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are derecognised from other equity to profit or loss at the moment of sale.
A financial asset is derecognised when the Company loses control over the contractual rights that comprise that asset. This occurs when the rights are realised, expire or are surrendered by the Company.
Available-for-sale assets that are sold are derecognised and the corresponding payable receivables to buyers are recognised as at the date the Company commits to sell the assets.
Loans and advances to customers are derecognised as at the day they are paid/ settled by the Company.

Single items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)). Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site where it was located. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, those components are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Agreements on lease of assets in relation to which the Company assumes substantial part of risks and benefits of ownership are classified as financial leasing. Leased assets are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum leasing payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)).
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the part of property, plant and equipment will flow to the Company and the relevant cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures including the costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
Except as specified below, depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of individual items of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 30 - 45 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, as well as residual values, are reassessed annually as at the financial statement's date. Each significant part of property, plant and equipment (component) with cost significant in relation to the total cost of the relevant item is depreciated separately.
Borrowing costs attributable to the asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its use or sale are capitalised by the Company as part of the cost of the asset.
i. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination Goodwill recognized as a result of the Company merging with its subsidiaries is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, or the amount of the investments, over the net of the actual amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is included in the investments in subsidiaries and associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Inventories are measured at the lower of acquisition cost (purchased inventory), respectively in own costs (incurred by own activity), and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. Purchased inventories are measured at cost, which includes the purchase price and other directly attributable expenses incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Own costs include direct costs and indirect costs associated with acquiring inventories by own activity.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and their net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets, other than inventories (refer to the accounting policy under letter g)), investment property (refer to the accounting policy under letter l)), financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (refer to the accounting policy under letter c)), available-for-sale securities (refer to the accounting policy under letter c)) and deferred tax assets (refer to the accounting policy under letter p)) are reviewed at each financial statements date to determine whether there is objective indication of impairment of the asset. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation, but are tested annually for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which they belong.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Loans granted are recognised net of value adjustment for losses on loans. Value adjustments are determined on the basis of the state of the loan and performance of the borrower and the value of any collateral and all third-party guarantees is taken into account.
The recoverable amount of receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed upon initial recognition of these financial assets). Short-term receivables are not discounted.
If assets available for sale caused a decrease in fair value recognized directly in equity and if objective reasons exist that prove that there was a decrease in the fair value of the assets, the cumulated loss recognized in equity shall be reported in the profit and loss statement even if the relevant financial asset had not been reversed from the financial position. The amount of loss recognized in the profit and loss statement is the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value, adjusted for the impairment of the financial asset already recognized in profit and loss. A decrease in fair value of more than 20% of the acquisition cost or a decrease in fair value below the acquisition cost that lasts continuously more than nine months in case of securities investments is considered an impairment.
The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their value in use less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss in respect of receivables carried at amortised cost is reversed if the increase in the recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.
In the case of goodwill, an impairment loss cannot be decreased subsequently.
In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed or decreased when there is an indication that the impairment loss no longer exists and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss can only be reversed or decreased to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Interest income and expense is recognised in profit or loss in the period to which it relates using the effective interest rate basis. All expenses on loans and borrowings are recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of capitalised borrowing costs; refer to the accounting policy under letter (j), part (v).
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Income tax on the profit for the current accounting period comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the current accounting period, using tax rates valid as at the date of the financial statement's preparation, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous accounting periods.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method and calculated from all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences weren't taken into account: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. No deferred taxes are recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill. The amount of deferred tax is based on the expected way of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using the tax rates valid or approved as at the date of the financial statement's preparation.
Income tax is recognised directly in profit or loss, except for the part that relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the income tax is recognised in equity.
Deferred tax asset and liability are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the payable tax liability and asset, and they relate to the same tax authority and the taxable entity.
A deferred tax asset is only recognised up to the amount of probable future taxable profits against which the unused tax losses and credits can be offset. Deferred tax assets are reduced by the amount for which it is probable that the related tax benefit will not be realised.
Payments made under operative leasing are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Minimum leasing payments of financial leasing are divided into interest and instalments of the principal. Interest is allocated to each period during the term of the lease so as to express a constant periodic rate of interest for the period applied to the unpaid part of the principal
Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost (see point (w) Financial liabilities).

Software and other intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see below) and impairment losses (refer to the accounting policy under letter i)). Useful life of these assets is reassessed regularly.
Amortisation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date the asset is available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Software 4 5 years
Valuable rights each item uses an individual depreciation plan, based on the estimate useful lives if these assets, valuable rights also include trademarks which represent non-depreciated assets. The Company uses 6, 7, 8, 12 and 50-year useful lives for its valuable rights.
Investment property represents assets that are held by the Company to generate rental income or to realise a long-term increase in value, or for both of these purposes.
Investment property is stated at fair value, which is determined by an independent registered expert or by the management. Fair value is based on current prices of similar assets on an active market under the same location and the same conditions, or where such conditions are not available, by applying the generally applicable valuation models such as the yield method. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Assets that are constructed or developed for their future use as investment property are measured at fair value if the fair value can be determined reliably.
Details on the valuation of investment property are specified in Note 3(a) – Critical accounting estimates and assumptions, Valuation of investment property.
Rental income from investment property is accounted for as described in the accounting policy under letter (o).
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has a present legal, contractual, or non-contractual obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Long-term provisions the reduction of which to their present value would have a material impact on the financial statements are discounted to their present value.
Liability of the Company resulting from long-term employee benefits other than pension plans represents the estimated amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The liability is calculated using the projected unit credit method, discounted to its present value. A discount rate used to calculate the present value of liability is derived from the yield curve of high-quality bonds with maturities close to the conditions of the Company's liabilities as at the date of the financial statements preparation.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised as expenses at the time of provision of the service by the employees. A payable is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or contractual obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Operating segments are parts of the Company that are able to generate income and expenses with available financial information, which is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The management monitors 7 main segments, namely mountain resorts, leisure parks, hotels, dining, sports services and stores, real estate, and other.
The Company recognises financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. The Company does not recognise any financial liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss.
In the Company's separate statement of financial position, other financial liabilities are recognized as received loans and borrowings, bonds issued, trade payables, other liabilities and current tax liabilities.
Financial liabilities are recognised by the Company on the trade date. Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Upon measurement at amortized cost the difference between the cost and the face value is recognised through profit or loss during existence of the asset or liability using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's obligation specified in the contract expires, is settled or cancelled.
The following notes summarise the main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial assets and liabilities referred to in Note 33 – Fair value information:
Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. Expected future cash flows are estimated considering credit risk and any indication of impairment. The estimated fair values of loans reflect changes in credit status since the loans were made and changes in interest rates in the case of fixed rate loans.
For loans and borrowings with no defined maturities, fair value is taken to be the amount payable on demand as at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statement. The estimated fair value of fixed-maturity loans and borrowings is based on discounted cash flows using rates currently offered for loans and borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the nominal amount is deemed to reflect the fair value. Other receivables/payables are discounted to determine the fair value.
The Company recognises six types of basic revenues from services rendered:
The company recognises the revenues to the extent, in which it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and these revenues can be reliably evaluated. The revenues are recognised at fair value. Revenues are accrued depending on in which period the services were rendered, excluding revenues from the aqua park, hotel services and restaurant facilities, which are recognised in profit or loss after the service has been rendered. Revenues from services rendered do not include value added tax. They are also net of discounts and rebates (rebates, bonuses, discounts, credit notes and the like).
Since 2012 the Company has been running a loyalty program for its clients – GOPASS. GOPASS enables its clients to earn points for purchase of products and services in its resorts and to redeem these points as discounts from future purchases. The amount of unredeemed points are recognized as a decrease in sales against revenue time difference, as they are related to promised discounts from future purchases of clients. The Company monitors the value of unredeemed points and revalues it on a regular basis for its recognition in the financial statements.
Other services include in particular the services provided in relation to accommodation, such as the rental of premises including hotels disclosed as investments property, parking, wellness, massage, sale of souvenirs, etc. Revenues from rental are recognised over the duration of the rental, with accruals. Revenues from real estate projects are recognised following the transfer of rights and obligations and related risks on to buyer, to which occurs at the day of transfering the ownership rights. Revenues from the sale of souvenirs and other goods shall be recognised following the transfer of significant risks and benefits from the particular goods. Other revenues from services provided shall be recognised following the provision thereof.
Dividends are recognised in the statement of changes in equity and also as liabilities in the period in which they are approved.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group held for sale) are re-measured in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. Thereafter, upon initial classification as held for sale, the assets and disposal group held for sale are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except for inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
Impairment losses on initial recognition as held for sale are recognised in profit or loss even if the revaluation reserve was created. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent measurements. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated or amortised.
In case that, after the asset assignment into the group of assets held for sale, value is realized mainly through use rather than sale thereof, the assets shall be accounted back and depreciation or amortization for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets shall be recognised in the period when such change of assets arose.
Expected revenues as well as the profit margin ratio are based on changes in customer target groups, strengthened marketing and increase in the quality of services rendered.
Projecting of cash flows applied in determining the value in use covers a medium-term period of 5 years and subsequent extrapolation for the next period. Based on such standard level of cash flows, the terminal value was calculated with expected growth of cash flows at 2.2% p.a. (2016: 2.2%). Discount rates applied in the projecting of cash flows were calculated as weighted average cost of capital, representing 6.81% for 2017 and 6.5% for 2016 (considering the income tax).
In 2017 and 2016, goodwill was tested within CGU Vysoké Tatry, and the test did not show any reason for asset impairment.
If as at 31 October 2017, projected EBITDA of CGU Vysoké Tatry, being part of projected cash flows was lower than 5% in comparison with management estimates, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit in the location of High Tatras would drop by 10,238 ths. EUR. In such case, it would not be necessary to account for the asset impairment or goodwill even at a lower EBIDTA reached. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value was 7.31 %, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit for the location of High Tatras would drop by 17,762 ths. EUR. Here again it would not be necessary to account for asset impairment or goodwill even at a higher discount rate.
If as at 31 October 2016, projected EBITDA of CGU Vysoké Tatry, being part of projected cash flows was lower than 5% in comparison with management estimates, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit in the location of High Tatras would drop by 8,995 ths. EUR. In such case, it would not be necessary to account for the asset impairment or goodwill even at a lower EBIDTA reached. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value was 7.00 %, the value in use for an individual cash-generating unit for the location of High Tatras would drop by 21,386 ths. EUR. Here again it would not be necessary to account for asset impairment or goodwill even at a higher discount rate.
IAS 36 requires the testing of asset impairment in cases where external or internal indicators would point out to possible asset impairment.
The Company carries on 6 principal activities: running of mountain resorts, leisure parks, restaurant services, sports services and stores, accommodation services and real estate projects, namely in three locations: Jasná (the Low Tatras), in the High Tatras, and in Liptovský Mikuláš and via its subsidiaries in Poland. Each of the locations was assessed by the management as an individual cash-generating unit (CGU). The Company monitors the performance and creates independent budgets for individual cash-generating units. The Company assets were allocated to individual cash-generating units according to the material competence, whereas all assets, i.e. also the Hotels, Catering establishments and Sports services and shops are included in individual cash-generating units, except for Ski lifts and Cable ways.
As at 31 October 2017, the Company management having considered the Company asset impairment did not identify any indicator of possible impairment. For that reason, the asset impairment test was not performed. An impairment test was performed only for the location of High Tatras, as it has assigned Goodwill as specified in par. 3(b).
As at 31 October 2016, the Company management having considered the Company asset impairment did not identify any indicator of possible impairment. For that reason, the asset impairment test was not performed. An impairment test was performed only for the location of High Tatras, as it has assigned Goodwill as specified in par. 3(b).

The compilation of the financial statements according to the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU requires the application of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires that the management, in the application process of the Company accounting principles, should use its judgement. Therefore, the accounting estimates will be rarely identical with actual figures. Estimates and assumptions carrying a significant risk of causing a material modification of the book value of assets and liabilities in the future accounting period are described below in the text. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and also in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Investments in property are measured at fair value. The fair value of investments in property is determined either by a management evaluation or independent expert (see the Significant Accounting Principles, par. l); in both of the cases the valuation is based on current market values and conditions. The fair market value is the estimated value, for which the property could be exchanged, on the valuation day, between knowledgeable, willing parties being a prospective seller and a prospective buyer, in an arm's length transaction, with each party acting well informed, cautiously and without compulsion.
In the absence of current market prices, net estimated cash flow generated from the leasing of property and gains from capitalisation which reflect the risk specific for the market and also cash flow from the property shall be taken into account. The valuation reflects (where relevant) the type of lessees who use the property or are responsible for the fulfilment of lease liabilities or the type of prospective users, if the property is left non-rented, the general market perception of lessee solvency, the distribution of responsibilities related to maintenance and insurance of property between the Company and the lessees, and the remaining life of property.
As at 31 October 2017, the investments in real property cover three hotels (SKI, Liptov, Kosodrevina) and the accommodation facility Otupné with the aggregate book value of 1,982 ths. EUR (as at 31 October 2016: 1,982 ths EUR), which are leased out to third parties that operate them, as well as forest areas and lots of land obtained as an acquisition in 2009 in the book value of 4,572 ths. EUR (as at 31 October 2016: 4,572 ths EUR). The value of the hotels was estimated by the management in a manner specified above. The value of the land was determined by the management using market prices, and the final value is based on an estimate of the market price per square meter, depending on the type of land and market transactions for similar lots of land.
As at 31 October 2017, the Company management, based on current market conditions, revalued the value of investments in property and evaluated, that the value of contractual and market lease did not change significantly. Based on the performed evaluation, there was no need to adjust the value of investments in property.
If the fair value of the portion of investments in property which was determined based on management estimates differs from management estimates by 10%, the book value of investments in property would be higher or lower by 655 ths. EUR in comparison with the amount reported as at 31 October 2017 (as at 31 October 2016: 655 ths. EUR)
As at the date of the financial statements, the Company is required to assess whether there is any indication that its goodwill is impaired. If there is no indication that goodwill may be impaired, the Company shall, according to IAS 36, test reported goodwill for possible impairment on a yearly basis as at 31 October, i.e. as at the date of compilation of the annual separate financial statements.
On the day of reporting, the acquired goodwill is allocated to individual cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations.
Potential decrease of the goodwill value is determined by comparing the return value of CGU and its book value. The return value is determined by the value in use. The value in use was derived from a business plan prepared by the management. The key prerequisite which was also the most sensitive factor in determining the recoverable amount was expected revenues assessed by the management, the profit margin ratio (EBITDA) and the cost of capital used as the discount factor for future net cash flows.
grow by 7%, for 2020 by 5%, from 2021 to 2023 it is expected to grow by 3% per year and from 2024 to 2032 by 2% per year. The discount rate applied in the valuation of such financial assets used as at 31 October 2017 was in amount of 8.70% (2016: 8.54%).
If in the calculation as at 31 October 2017 the EBITDA projected for MELIDA a.s., which is a part of the projected cash flows, was 5% lower every year compared to the management estimates, the value of investment in CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 208 ths. EUR. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value would be 9.20%, the value of CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 63 ths. EUR.
If in the calculation as at 31 October 2016 the EBITDA projected for MELIDA a.s., which is a part of the projected cash flows, was 5% lower every year compared to the management estimates, the value of investment in CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 187 ths. EUR. If the discount rate increased by 0.5 percentage point in comparison with the management estimate, i.e. its value would be 9.04%, the value of CAREPAR, a.s. would drop by 52 ths. EUR.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on:
When the quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using valuation techniques. When using valuation models, the management applies estimates and assumptions which are consistent with information available on estimates and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the relevant financial instrument.

Since as at 31 October 2017, CAREPAR, a.s. does not account for any other significant assets or liabilities apart from the share in MELIDA a.s., the fair value of the investment in CAREPAR, a.s. was set as 9.5% of the estimated fair value of MELIDA a.s.
As at 31 October 2017 and 2016, the fair value of MELIDA a.s. was estimated by the Company management using the discounted cash flow method, with the application of input from the business plan and of cash flow estimates. The business plan and cash flow estimates were consistently reviewed before application by Company management. Lease of the ski centre has been concluded until 2032, therefore, the cash flows were projected from 2018 (respectively for the estimation of the value in 2016 from 2017) to 2032. The main preconditions that were used in the valuation, were estimated cash flows, where the most important assumptions estimated by the management included EBITDA, its growth and discount rate. EBIDTA projected for 2018 represented the value of 5,196 ths EUR (2016: 4,794 ths EUR). For 2019, it is expected to

Liquidity risks arise within general financing of the Company and management of financial positions. It covers the risk of insolvency regarding the financing of assets within the agreed maturity period and at the interest rate, and also the risk of asset management at a reasonable price within an adequate timeframe. The Company management focuses on liquidity management and monitoring. Due to liquidity management, the management changed the accounting period to a fiscal year ended on 31 October. In the first half of its accounting period, the Company has a winter season, which represents 60% of Company income. According to the trend in the first half-year, the Company can affect the side of revenues and expenses sufficiently early, so that they are able to keep sufficient liquidity for Company's operation. In the Vysoké Tatry centre, the seasonal nature is also balanced with a strong summer season, which ensures its more stable liquidity all year round.
The following table presents an analysis of Company financial assets and liabilities grouped by the residual maturity. The analysis presents the most prudent variant of residual maturity including interest. Therefore, for liabilities, the earliest possible repayment is reported, and for assets, the latest possible repayment is reported. Assets and liabilities which have no maturity are posted in the category "Without specification".
As at 31 October 2017, Other receivables contain in particular an advance payment made for future acquisition, which is a company running cable ways, in the amount of 19,451 ths. EUR (as at 31 October 2016: 19,451 ths. EUR). The Company plans to buy this company in the future. A contract is made with AIRAVATA Holding s.r.o. for a period of one year, and for this reason, the book value of advance payment made is not materially different from its fair value.
The Company leases lots of land on which ski runs and cable ways are built, and leases some cars based on contracts on operating lease. The most significant contracts on the lease of land are concluded for a period of 30 years with an option for additional 10 years. The most significant contracts have the notice period of 1 year.
Cost for operating lease for the period ended on 31 October 2017 shown in the profit/loss from operations amounted to 3,544 ths. EUR (for the period ended on 31 October 2016: 2,711 ths. EUR).
The amount of rent for the period in which contracts cannot be terminated, is as follows:
| in TEUR | 31.10.2017 | 31.10.2016 |

This section provides details of risks to which the Company is exposed, and the method of management of the risks. The Company is exposed risks in the following areas:
The management is generally responsible for setting and control of Company risk management.
The Company is exposed to this risk mainly with respect to trade receivables, lease receivables, other receivables, advance payments and loans provided. The volume of exposure to this risk is expressed as the book value of these assets in the balance sheet in case that no form of guarantees is provided. The book value of receivables, advance payments and loans provided expresses the highest possible book loss that would have been posted if the counterpart completely fails in performing its contractual obligations, and all securities and guarantees would have a zero value. Therefore, this value far exceeds the expected losses which are included in the provisions for irrecoverable debts. Before signing major contracts the Company board at regular board meetings evaluates credit risk related to counterpart. In case of identifying significant risks, the Company withdraws from signing the contract.

|---|---|---|
35. Information on Risk Management (continued)
The Book value of Other receivables contains mainly advance payments made, which are not expected to be paid in cash, but by a transfer of shares.
Due to the acquisition of subsidiaries in the Republic of Poland and due to providing a loan to and receiving a loan from these companies during 2016 and 2017, the Company is primarily exposed to the risk of changes in the exchange rate of Polish Zloty against the EUR. The management monitors regularly whether there is a large difference between foreign currency liabilities and receivables. As at 31 October 2016, the Company reported an investment in the subsidiary in the amount of 14,743 ths. EUR, and loans provided in the total amount 32,754 ths. EUR, out of which loans provided in Polish Zloty were in amount of 23,289 ths. EUR. The other Company assets and liabilities are denominated in euro.
Secondarily, there is a risk that the weakening of the Polish Zloty or of the Russian Ruble against the EUR would lead to reducing the number of visitors from the above stated countries. The Company management is not able to reliably quantify this risk.
1% strengthening of the EUR against the Polish Zloty would have the following effect on the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company:
| in TEUR | 2017 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|
| PLN | -233 | -420 |
1% weakening of the EUR against the Polish Zloty would have an identical high but opposite effect on the financial assets and financial liabilities in comparison with strengthening.
Company transactions are exposed to the risk of interest rate changes. The volume of this risk is equal to the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, for which the interest rate differs, in the maturity period or in the period of change, from the present interest rate. Therefore, the period for which a fixed interest rate is determined for the financial instrument, expresses the exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates to which the Company is exposed. The table below presents Company exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates based on contractual maturity period of financial instruments.
As at 31 October 2017 and as at 31 October 2016, the Company has the following assets and liabilities linked to interest rates:
| in TEUR | 31.10.2017 | 31.10.2016 |

Company interest-bearing liabilities have a variable interest rate referring to EURIBOR. The Company considers the variable interest rate as the self-management of interest risk. During an economic expansion, the EURIBOR is growing, but at the same time, the population economic performance is growing, and the company has higher revenues and profits. During an economic recession, the situation is completely opposite.
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from any fraud, unauthorised activities, failures, errors, inefficiency or failure of systems. The risk is created in all Company activities. Operational risk also includes the risk of legal disputes.
The aim of the Company is to manage the operational risk to prevent any financial losses and detriment to the Company reputation within the cost-efficiency of cost spent on achieving this objective, while avoiding any measures preventing initiatives and creativity.

The Company management has key responsibility for the implementation of inspections related to the operational risk management. The responsibility is supported by the implementation of standards for the management of operational risk which is common for the whole Company. Operational risk is governed by a system of directives, minutes of meetings and control mechanisms. The Company has a controlling department which attempts to eliminate all operational risks through regular inspections.
The Company is also exposed to the risk of unfavourable conditions with respect to the weather. The number of visitors in the centre depends on the snow and snowfall periods. Unfavourable conditions adversely affect the number of skiers and the revenue of profit/loss from operations. Warm weather can unreasonably increase the cost of snowmaking and reduce the area where skiing is possible. Historically, the Low Tatras and the High Tatras region had on average 80cm and 85cm of snow during the winter season, respectively. The start of winter season and snow conditions affect the perception of the whole season by skiers. The Company is not able to forecast reliably in any manner the snow conditions at the beginning of winter season. Also thanks to the system of snowmaking, the snow conditions during the winter are stable each year.
Both of the issues are associated with regular payment of the coupon which is provided by the Company from its own resources. Payment of the coupon from the TMR II issue is only possible on an annual basis, after submitting the final audited consolidated financial statements for the previous accounting period to Tatra banka a.s., under which the following financial indicators will be met: (i) net profit after taxes will be higher than 1,00 EUR and at the same time (ii) the Senior DEBT financial indicator (excluding the TMR II bonds)/EBITDA at the level of max. 5,25. If the aforementioned financial indicators were not fulfilled, the coupon from the TMR II issue will be capitalised, i.e. unpaid and further bearing interest, in particular until: (i) the date of final maturity of the TMR II bonds, or (ii) the day when the aforementioned Senior DEBT financial indicator (excluding the TMR II bonds)/EBITDA is max. 3,00 (however, the DSCR contractual condition of min. 1x has to be observed).
The Company management proceeds to capital management in order to ensure sufficient amount of resources for planned investments in that period for which investments were planned, if necessary in cooperation with bank loans.
Before the date of merger with the parent company, no external requirements for capital management are linked either to the Group or to its subsidiaries.
Over the course of the period between 1 November 2015 and 31 October 2016, no changes occurred in the Group management approach to capital management.
With respect to that many areas of Slovak law on taxation have not been sufficiently ascertained in practice, there is uncertainty in how tax offices will apply them. It is not possible to quantify the level of this uncertainty and it will only cease to exist when legal precedents or official interpretations of the relevant bodies are available.
On 31 October 2007, the Company signed a contract on the right of lien in an enterprise, on receivables and movables in favour of the creditor Tatra banka, joint stock company, the subject of which is a lien on liabilities for the entire scope of liabilities, which are posted in the balance sheet as at 31 October 2016 and as at 31 October 2017.
The Company has initiated several legal proceedings. The maximum amount of compensation in all legal proceedings can be up to 517 ths. EUR and accessions thereof.
