CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY (cont.)

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

  • In accordance with the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, Section 55 (2) the share premium reserve can only be used by the Company in (a) paying up unissued shares of the Company to be issued to members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares; (b) writing off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the Company; and (c) providing for the premium payable on redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debentures of the Company.
  • Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the Special Contribution for the Defence of the Republic Law, during the two years after the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer, will be deemed to have distributed this amount as dividend. Special contribution for defence at 17% will be payable on such deemed dividend to the extent that the owners (individuals and companies) at the end of the period of two years from the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer are Cyprus tax residents. The amount of this deemed dividend distribution is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is paid by the Company for the account of the owners.

The above requirement of the Law is not applied in the case of the Company due to the fact that its owners are not residents in Cyprus for tax purposes.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2020 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the ''Group'').

2.1 Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 ''Interim Financial Reporting'' and were not audited by the external independent auditors of the Group. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019.

2.2 Basis of measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following:

2 . BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

The functional currencies of the companies of the Group are the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) and United States Dollar (USD). The currency of Cyprus is Euro, but the principal exposure of the parent undertaking is in US dollars, therefore the functional currency of the Company is considered to be USD. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group's companies are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. The Group's management decided to use US dollar (USD) as the presentation currency for financial and management reporting purposes. Exchange differences arising are classified as equity and transferred to the translation reserve.

The exchange rates used in preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are as follows:

Currency 30 June 2020 Average for the 31 December Average for the 31 December
six months 2019 six months 2018
ended 30 June ended 30 June
2020 2019
US dollar - UAH 26,6922 25,9834 23,6862 26,1664 27,6883

2.4 Going concern basis

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the course of ordinary economic activity. Renewals of the Group's assets, and the future activities of the Group, are significantly influenced by the current and future economic environment in Ukraine. The Board of Directors and Management are closely monitoring the events in the current operating environment of the Group as described in note 25 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has assessed the current situation and there is no indication of adverse effects while at the same time are taking all the steps to secure Group's short and long term viability. To this effect, they consider that the Group is able to continue its operations as a going concern.

2.5 Standards and interpretations

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations

As from 1 January 2020, the Group adopted all changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by EU which are relevant to its operations. This adoption did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2020 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted them in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Their adoption in the next reporting periods is not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

On 29 June 2012, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement with Stiomi Agri Limited ('Seller') for the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Private Enterprise 'Peredilske'. The parties agreed that the price for transfer of the company's shares amounting to USD 23 080 000.

On 26 December 2012, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement with Stiomi Agri Limited ('Seller') for the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Limited Liability Company 'Skhid Potencial-Resurs'. The parties agreed that the price for transfer of the company's shares shall amount to USD 10 000 000.

On 3 September 2013 both agreements for the acquisition of PE "Peredilske" and of LLC "Skhid-Potencial-Resurs" have been cancelled. The parties agreed that the whole amount paid should be returned to the Company within twelve months of the signing of the cancellation agreements, either in cash and/or an equivalent market value's worth of agricultural goods.

Due to political and economic developments and military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, Stiomi Agri Limited is currently unable to repay this amount to the Group. It is highly probable that this amount will never be recovered, therefore an impairment loss for USD 33 080 thousand was recognised in 2014.

23. OPERATING SEGMENTS

A reportable segment is a separable component of a business entity that produces goods or provides services to individuals (or groups of related products or services) in a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and generates revenues other than risks and income of those components that are peculiar to other reportable segments.

Reportable segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. All reportable segments' results are reviewed regularly by the Group's CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.

23. OPERATING SEGMENTS (cont.)

For the six months ended 30 June 2020 the Group identified the following reportable segments, which include products and services, that differ by levels of risk and conditions of generation of income:

  • Plant breeding
  • Livestock
  • Vegetable oil and protein meal
  • Other
  • (i) Plant breeding segment raises and sells agricultural products and renders accompanying services. The main types of agricultural produce which are sold in this reportable segment are wheat, rye, barley, sunflowers, rape and sunflower oil. The main services which are sold in this reportable segment are ploughing, handling and grain storage services.
  • (ii) Livestock segment raises and sells biological assets and agricultural products of cattle breeding. The main biological assets and agricultural products which are sold in this reportable segment are poultry, cattle, pigs and milk.
  • (iii) Vegetable oil and protein meal is a new segment the Group started disclosing in 2017. It represents the processing of own sunflower seeds into sunflower oil and protein meal using outsourced production facilities.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of each of the unit separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and evaluation of operating results.

Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Group financing (including finance expense and finance income) and income taxes, are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

24. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The Group's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. In particular, the cultivation of crops is adversely affected by winter weather conditions, which occur primarily from January to March. The first half of the year typically results in lower revenues and results for cultivations.

As a result of the annual cycle of crops producing and the Group's attempts to take an advantage of seasonal price changes by managing inventory in its storage facilities, the Group's Plant breeding segment is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Profits of this segment tend to be higher in the first half of a year.

25. OPERATING ENVIROMENT

Cyprus economic environment

The Cyprus economy has been adversely affected during the last few years by the economic crisis. The negative effects have to some extent been resolved, following the negotiations and the relevant agreements reached with the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial assistance which was dependent on the formulation and the successful implementation of an Economic Adjustment Program. The agreements also resulted in the restructuring of the two largest (systemic) banks in Cyprus through a "bail in".

The Cyprus Government has successfully completed earlier than anticipated the Economic Adjustments Program and exited the IMF program on 7 March 2016, after having recovered in the international markets and having only used €7,25 billion of the total €10 billion earmarked in the financial bailout. Under the new Euro area rules, Cyprus will continue to be under surveillance by its lenders with biannual post-program visits until it repays 75% of the economic assistance received.

Although there are signs of improvement, especially in the macroeconomic environment of the country's economy including growth in GDP and reducing unemployment rates, significant challenges remain that could affect the estimates of the Company's cash flows and its assessment of impairment of financial and non-financial assets.

Ukrainian economic and political environment

The Group conducts its operations mainly in Ukraine. Ukraine's political and economic situation has deteriorated significantly since 2014. Following political and social unrest in early 2014, in March 2014, various events in Crimea led to the accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation, which was not recognised by Ukraine and many other countries. This event resulted in a significant deterioration of the relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Following the instability in Crimea, regional tensions have spread to the Eastern regions of Ukraine, primarily Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In May 2014, protests in those regions escalated into military clashes and armed conflict between supporters of the self-declared republics of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and the Ukrainian forces, which continued throughout the date of these financial statements. As a result of this conflict, part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions remains under control of the self-proclaimed republics, and Ukrainian authorities are not currently able to fully enforce Ukrainian laws on this territory.

25. OPERATING ENVIROMENT (cont.)

Ukrainian economic and political environment (cont.)

During 2015 and 2016 the anti-crisis measures undertaken by the Ukrainian government and NBU as well as financing through the extended fund facilities (EFF) agreed with International Monetary Fund (IMF) enabled the country to achieve a certain level of economic and political stability and provided the basis for economic recovery on the territory controlled by Ukraine. In 2016 and 2017 Ukraine's GDP grew by 2.3% and 2.1% respectively. This allowed NBU to ease some foreign exchange restrictions imposed since 2014, including a decrease in the share of the mandatory foreign currency conversion to 65% and permission of dividends remittance. However, certain other restrictions were prolonged.

Signs of economic recovery demonstrated in prior year continued in 2018, with inflation reducing to 9.8% from 13.7% in 2017 and GDP showing a gradual growth of 3.4% (2017: 2.5%), level of deposits in the banking sector growing, losses of the corporate and banking sectors decreasing. During 2019 the Ukrainian economy continued its growth with GDP increasing by 3.2% , inflation being 4.1% and Ukrainian Hryvnia appreciating against US Dollar by 14.5% on annual average basis. In view of these developments and in order to support international investments and trade, NBU withdrew all its requiements on mandatory sale of foreign currency proceeds and removed all its restrictions on remittance of dividends.

During 2018 the Ukrainian economy proceeded with recovery from the economic and political crisis of previous years and demonstrated a sound GDP growth of 3.4% (2017: 2.5%), decline in annual inflation of 9.8% (2017: 13.7%), and relatively stable foreign exchange rate of Ukrainian national currency.

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic in recognition of its rapid spread across the globe. Many governments are taking increasingly stringent steps to help contain, and in many jurisdictions, now delay, the spread of the virus, including: requiring self-isolation/ quarantine by those potentially affected, implementing social distancing measures, and controlling or closing borders and "locking-down" cities/regions or even entire countries. These measures have slowed down both the broader Cyprus and world economies and the operations of the Group. As at the date of release of the consolidated financial statements the Group continues its operating activities without major disruptions: sowing compaign has been performed as planned, new volumes of agroproduce have been contracted with customers, the harvesting has commenced and is ongoing as expected. Therefore, unless the situation changes, the Group does not plan any significant adjustments to its annual budgeted numbers for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The final resolution and the effects of the political and economic crisis are difficult to predict but may have further severe effects on the Ukrainian economy.

Whilst management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances, a continuation of the current unstable business environment could negatively affect the Group's results and financial position in a manner not currently determinable. These consolidated financial statements reflect management's current assessment of the impact of the Ukrainian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business environment may differ from management's assessment.

25. OPERATING ENVIROMENT (cont.)

Going concern basis following the economic and political environment

The dangers which may arise from unexpected external factors such as competition, and the further deterioration of the market conditions cannot be ignored. All these factors were analysed above. Having regard to the fact that the Company has fully settled its obligations on the Notes without incurring any additional liabilities, the Board of Directors believes that the Group will remain a going concern and that no indications of any kind of threat of liquidation exists in the foreseeable future.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary in case the Group was not able to continue operating as a going concern.

26. CONTINGENT AND CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES

Economic environment

The exposure of the Group to the economic environment and possible impact is disclosed in note 25 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Taxation

As a result of unstable economic enviroment in Ukraine, tax authorities in Ukraine pay more and more attention to the business cycles. In connection with this, tax laws in Ukraine are subject to frequent changes. Furthermore, there are cases of their inconsistent application, interpretation and execution. Noncompliance with laws and regulations may lead to severe fines and penalties.

The Company operates in the Cypriot tax jurisdiction and its subsidiaries in tax jurisdiction of the respective countries of incorporation. The Group's management must interpret and apply existing legislation to transactions with third parties and its own activities. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for direct and indirect taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at every reporting period end. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities.

The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting period and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the reporting period.

The Group considers that it operates in compliance with tax laws of Ukraine, although, a lot of new laws about taxes and transactions in foreign currency have been adopted recently, and their interpretation is rather ambiguous.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

26. CONTINGENT AND CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES (cont.)

Legal matters

In the course of its economic activities, the Group is involved in legal proceedings with third parties. In most cases, the Group is the initiator of such proceedings with the purpose of preventing or mitigating of economic losses.

The Group's management considers that as at the reporting period end, active legal proceedings on such matters will not have any significant influence on its financial position.

Pension and other liabilities

Most employees of the Group receive pension benefits from the Pension Fund, a Ukrainian Government organisation in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Ukraine. The Group is obliged to deduct and contribute a certain percentage of salaries to the Pension Fund to finance the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to this pension plan is to make the specified contributions from salaries.

At 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 the Group's entities had no liabilities for any supplementary pensions, health care, insurance benefits or retirement indemnities to its current or former employees.

27. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Events referred to in note 25 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements will continue to influence the Group's operations in 2020. While management believes it is taking all necessary measures to maintain the sustainability of the business in the current circumstances, a further deterioration of economic and political conditions in Ukraine could adversly affect the Group's results and financial position, so that it is currently impossible to predict.

On 27 August 2020 the Board of Directors of Agroton Public Limited approved and authorised these condensed consolidated interim financial statements for issue.

In accordance with the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, Section 55 (2) the share premium reserve can only be used by the Company in (a) paying up unissued shares of the Company to be issued to members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares; (b) writing off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the Company; and (c) providing for the premium payable on redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debentures of the Company.

Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the Special Contribution for the Defence of the Republic Law, during the two years after the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer, will be deemed to have distributed this amount as dividend. Special contribution for defence at 17% will be payable on such deemed dividend to the extent that the ultimate owners at the end of the period of two years from the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer are both Cyprus tax resident and Cyprus domiciled. The amount of this deemed dividend distribution is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is paid by the company for the account of the owners.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

1. Incorporation and principal activities

Country of incorporation

Agroton Public Limited (the ''Company'') was incorporated in Cyprus on 21 September 2009 as a private limited liability company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The Company was listed at the main market of Warsaw Stock Exchange on 8 November 2010. Its registered office is at 1 Lampousas Street, 1095 Nicosia, Cyprus.

The principal activities of the Company, which are unchanged from last year, are those of an investment holding company and the provision of financing to related parties. The Company is the holding company of a group of companies of agriculture producers in Ukraine. The principal activities of the Group which remained the same as in the previous year, are grain and oil crops growing, agricultural products storage and sale, cattle breeding (milk cattlebreeding, poultry farming) and milk processing. The poultry farming business has been temporarily abandoned due to the military clashes and armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

2. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of, and financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company has prepared these parent's separate financial statements for compliance with the requirements of the Cyprus Income Tax Law.

The Company has also prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs for the Company and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the ''Group''). The consolidated financial statements can be obtained from the Company's registered office.

3. Adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations

As from 1 January 2020, the Company adopted all the following IFRSs and International Accounting Standards (IAS), which are relevant to its operations. The adoption of these Standards did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

4. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Subsidiary companies

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less provision for impairment in value, which is recognised as an expense in the period in which the impairment is identified.

Finance expenses

Interest expense and other borrowing costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation

(1) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US\$), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(2) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

Tax

Tax liabilities and assets for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date. Current tax includes any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

Financial liabilities - measurement categories

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for (i) financial liabilities at FVTPL: this classification is applied to derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading (e.g. short positions in securities), contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition and (ii) financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account.

5. New accounting pronouncements

At the date of approval of these financial statements, standards and interpretations were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which were not yet effective. Some of them were adopted by the European Union and others not yet. The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these accounting standards in future periods will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these standards or interpretations in future periods will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

6. Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity riskmarket risk, and currency risk arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by the Company to manage these risks are discussed below:

6.1 Credit risk

Credit risk arises when failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows form financial assets on hand at the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

6. Financial risk management (continued)

6.1 Credit risk (continued)

(i) Impairment of financial assets

The Company has the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

cash and cash equivalents

The table below shows an analysis of the Company's bank deposit by the credit rating of the bank in which they are held:

2020 2019
Bank group based on credit ratings by Moody's No of banks US\$ US\$

Lower than A- 1 2.322 2.007
8.430.127 10.769.744

6.2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Company has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

6.3 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

6.3.1 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Financial liabilities (51.601.754) (75.241.008)
(1.833.119) (10.675.584)

6.3.2 Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company's measurement currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Euro. The Company's Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

7. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Going concern basis

The Directors judge that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

7. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies

Fair value of financial assets

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. The fair value of the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income has been estimated based on the fair value of these individual assets.

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of investments in subsidiaries whenever indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment include such items as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in the economic or political stability of a particular country, which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that investment in subsidiaries may be impaired, the estimated future discounted cash flows associated with these subsidiaries would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary.

Impairment of loans receivable

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of loans receivable whenever indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment include such items as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in the economic or political stability of a particular country in which the borrower operates, which may indicate that the carrying amount of the loan is not recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that loans receivable may be impaired, the estimated future discounted cash flows associated with these loans would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary.

Impairment of financial assets

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of the key assumptions and inputs used are disclosed in note 6, Credit risk section.
