These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication purposes by the Management Board of the parent company on 22 August 2019.

6.2. Basis for preparation and accounting policies

6.2.1. Basis for preparation

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

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all the information that is disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements that are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read jointly with the consolidated financial statements of the Capital Group for year 2018.

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

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the assumption that the companies of the Group would continue to operate as going concerns in the foreseeable future. Although at the balance sheet date the current liquidity is below 1, as of the date of approval of these interim condesned consolidated financial statements for publication purposes, there are no circumstances that would indicate any threats to the continuity of the operations of the member companies of the Group. The Group has been generating positive operating cash flows and, additionally, can use a credit line facility granted to it in the amount of PLN 82 million, PLN 47 million of which in the form of a loan with maturity after 30 June 2020.

6.2.2. Accounting policies

These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards that were presented in the most recent consolidated financial statements

of the Group for year ended on 31 December 2018, save for a change in the application of IFRS 16 within the scope, as described in Note 6.3.2., and in accordance with the standards applied in the analogous interim period of the previous year, save for acceptance of new and amended standards, as described in Note 6.2.3. The new accounting standards applied as of 1 January 2019, are described below.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the historical costs principle, save for items measured at fair value, e.g. the liability on account of the contingent payments for the acquired shares.

6.2.3. New and amended accounting policies adopted by the Company from 1 January, 2019

New IFRS 16 "Leases"

The new standard specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. All leases result in the lessee acquiring the right to use the asset as well as an obligation on account of liability for payment. By the same, IFRS 16 has removed the classification into the operating and financial leases in accordance with IAS 17 and introduced a single model for the lessee to recognise lease for the accounting purposes. The lessee is obliged to recognize: (a) assets and liabilities for the lease transactions concluded for a period beyond 12 months save for low-value assets; and (b) depreciation of the leased asset separately from interest on the lease liability; in the statement of profit or loss.

IFRS 16 largely reiterates the regulations of IAS 17 with respect to how a lessee should recognize lease in the accounts. Consequenty, a lessor will continue the classification, broken down into the operation and financial leases and diversify the accounting treatment respectively. At the Benefit Systems Group, the following companies are lessors: Benefit Partners and Benefit Systems S.A. (mainly for lease of the fitness equipment used primarily by the subsidiaries that have sports clubs, but also external customers).

The Group has implemented the new standard with its effective date as required; therefore, the standard has been first applied to the statements for the reporting period beginning on 1 January, 2019.

The effect of the standard on the financial statements, resulting from application of the new standard for the first time was described in point 6.2.3.1 of this note.

6.2.3.1. Effect of application of IFRS 16

The Group implemented IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method, i.e. without restating the comparable data, with inclusion of the combined effect of application of the standard for the first time as a correction of the opening balance of the earnings retained on the date when the standard was first used.

In accordance with previous estimations of the Group expressed in the annual consolidated financial statements for year 2018, the new standard had a material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

As of 30 June 2019, the Group was a leesee under 784 operating lease, rental and tenance agreements entered into for terms from 1 month to 14 years.

Following analysis, the Group has identified and reports three main groups of leasing contracts:

  • real property: the principal and regional offices; fitness clubs in Poland and abroad;
  • fitness equipment constituting the base outfitting of the sports facilities belonging to subsidiaries or affiliates that have the relevant activity profile;
  • other (including business cars and office equipment with the value above PLN 3 thousand).

In connection with application of IFRS 16, the Group has originally recognized as of the date of first application [of the standard], the rights of use at PLN 745 million and lease liabilities of PLN 775 million. As a result of change in the accounting policy and recalculation of the effect of IFRS 16 on the financial statements of the Group, the sums amounted to PLN 850.6 million.

The rights of use were presented in the consolidated statement of financial position under item "Right-of-use assets," whereby lease liabilties were presented under item "Lease liabiities," broken down into short-term and long-term ones. The Group does not hold any real property in perpetual usufruct. Following its initial recognition, the right of use is classifed as a fixed asset and measured at the initial value minus depreciation.

A lease liability includes future discounted lease payments for the identified contracts meeting the conditions set out in IFRS 16. The manner in which these items are recognized in the statement of financial position depends on the term of contract that has been adopted for individual contract types: the said term covers a non-cancellable term of lease, periods arising from the options to extend the term of lease, and the periods arising from the option to terminate lease if it can be assumed with sufficient certainty that the lessee will take advantage of the option.

Upon determining the term of lease, the following was also taken into account: laws and customary regulations applicable to the Polish legal environment, the specific character of the contracts concluded within the Group; the structures of the fixed and variable payments in the agreement and determination of the final interest rate. The discount rates adopted by the Group for the purpose of a measurement compliant with IFRS 16 were based on the risk-free rate based on Treasury notes and on the bank's margin typical for the terms of bank loan extened for an asset analogous to the subject-matter of specific lease agreement (taking into account the term and the specific components of the agreement). The lease data published in the report for Q1 2019 and their previous estimations published in the consolidated financial statements for year 2018 were based on the discount rate assumptions different than the ones described above. The effect of the change is presented in the following tables:

*The respective balances acknowledge the agreements for lease from Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o., which was an affiliate as of 1 January 2019. As of 15 January 2019, Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o. has been included in the full consolidation.

Otherwise, the Group applies accounting policy as described in the 2018 consolidated financial statments of the Benefit Systems Group.

The above items that influence recognition of lease contracts in accordance with IFRS 16 are based on a subjective judgment of the management taking into account the current interpretations of IFRS 16. The subjective judgment and estimations of the management may change if the International Accounting Standards Board issues new interpretations of IFRS 16 and/or if more transparent interpretations in this regard are developed in the course of the generally adopted practice of use of the accounting standards.

In addition to changes in the statement of financial position, the adoption of IFRS 16 has the effect on:

  • statement of financial position, in the following manner: the right-of-use asset has started to be depreciated and interest expenses (rather than operating expenses) have been recognized on the lease liability;
  • the moment of recognition of expenses in the profit and loss account (their recognition has accelerated during the term of the contract), which, in particular, is attributable to the financial component;
  • cash flow statement, in the following manner:

  • o payments of lease liabilities are reported under the financial activities.
  • o correction of amortisation of the right-of-use assets
  • o interest payments have remained an item of the financial activities;
  • o net cash from investment activities has not changed;

Furthermore, when subleasing the fitness equipment leased under the financial lease contracts to the partner facilities of the Group, the Group recognizes contracts of sublease constituting a financial lease. In accordance with IAS 17, sublease was treated as operating lease.

The fixed assets leased under financial leases (leaseback) (recognized as such in compliance with IAS 17) by Benefit Systems and Benefit Partners, were reclassified into the right-of-use assets. Lease liability, amortisation costs and financial costs are also recognized jointly, as required under IFRS 16.

6.2.4. Uncertainty of estimates

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

Information on estimates and assumptions that are material for the consolidated financial statements were presented in the consolidated financial statements for year 2018. Additionally, due to the fact that IFRS 9 was applied, the calculation and measurement of the expected loan losses with respect to the trade receivables and loans granted is an area that requires material judgment with regard to selection of an appropriate methodology, model and input data. In their model, the Group mainly uses historical information adjusted by the effect of future factors.

Liabilities under the contingent payments on the acquired shares - measurement as of the date of the financial statements

On 31 October 2018, affiliate: Calypso Fitness S.A. was divided as a result of spin off, as a result of which, in particular, a portion of the assets of Calypso Fitness S.A., as the company being divided, was transferred to company under the business name of NewCo2 Sp. z o.o.

On 2 November 2018, Fit Invest Sp. z o.o. acquired 100% shares in the share capital of company under the business name of Masovian Sports Center Sp. z o.o. (the equivalent of "NewCo1") and 100% shares in the share capital of company under the business name of NewCo3 Sp. z o.o. The total selling price amounted to PLN 69 million, and additionally, Fit Invest Sp. z o.o. remains obliged to pay GVL additional amounts totaling no more than PLN 37 million, depending on incresase in the capitalization of Benefit Systems S.A. As a result of the transformation and implementation of the provisions of the agreement, Fit Invest Sp. z o.o. became the sole shareholder in NewCo1 Sp. z o.o., NewCo2 Sp. z o.o. and NewCo3 Sp. z o.o., i.e. companies established as a result of division of Calypso Fitness S.A.

On 15 January 2019, Benefit Systems SA merged Fit Invest Sp. z o.o. and, along with the entirety of the obligations, also assumed the obligations, including conditional obligations, towards GVL. As at 31 December 2018, using the option (binominal tree) model, the Group has measured them at PLN 7,359 thousand. As of 30 June 2019, the said sum was updated on the basis of the available share quotation statistics and amounted to PLN 0 (null). The valuation difference in the amount of PLN 7,359 thousand was recognized in the financial result for the current period.

The Group will perform calculations of the above amounts in subsequent reporting periods and and the final price allocation in the following 12 months of the acquisition date. Provisional

goodwill recognized remains unchanged compared to the calculation presented in the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2018.

The details of the transaction were described in the consolidated financial statment of the Benefit systems Group for year 2018, on pages 42 - 43: Multi-phasal transaction of acquisition of the assets spun off from Calypso Fitness S.A. – transaction details and the manner of reporting it in the Financial Statements

Fabryka Formy

A contingent payment for takeover of control of Fabryka Formy was classified as a financial liability, which as at 31 December 2018, was measured at fair value equal to: PLN 2 438 ths. , as updated as at 30 June 2019 to the value of 0 (zero), which had an effect on the result of the reporting period in the amount of: PLN 2 438 ths.

FitFabric

On the basis of preliminary agreement of 11 October 2018, minority shares in the share capital of Fit Fabric sp. z o.o. at 47.5% will be acquired at a price not higher than PLN 30,875 thousand no later than until 31 July, 2021, whereby the final level of the price will be established on the basis of the financial results of Fit Fabric Sp. z o.o. The fair value of the liability under this title was estaimated based on the forecast of discounted futures cash flows of the company. Given the contractual committment to acquire the remaining shares, the Group recognized that the risks and benefits on account of the shares held by the minority shareholders were transferred to the Group. Therefore, in these Financial Statements, the Group presents a 100% shareholding in the dominant entity.

Due to the fact that the projections of the financial results of Fit Fabric Sp. z o.o. have been upheld, the Group has not changed the measurement of the above-described contingent liability. The related liability was recognized at PLN 21.2 million.

Put options for the purchase of shares in foreign companies

The fair value of the liability on account of exercise of the put option for the purchase of noncontrolling shares in MultiSport Benefit S.R.O. at PLN 35.2 milllion net recognised as at the acquisition date reflects the probability-weighted current value of cash flows as estimated by the Group. With a view to determiing the fair value, the Management Board of the dominant Company assumed with a 100% probability that the presumed prerequisites would be met. As of the date of the financial statements, the evaluation has remained unchanged as compared to the balance of 2018 .

The fair value of the liability on account of exercise of the put option for the purchase of noncontrolling shares in Benefit Systems Slovakia S.R.O. recognised, as at the acquisition date, at the net amount of PLN 5.3 milllion reflects the probability-weighted current value of cash flows estimated by the Group. With a view to determiing the fair value, the Management Board of the dominant Company assumed with a 100% probability that the presumed prerequisites would be met. As of the date of the financial statements, the evaluation has remained unchanged as compared to the balance of 2018.

The Group analysed the results of the subsidiaries of individual segments (Polish, Foreign and Cafeterias) taking into account their development plans and has not identified any premise for impairment loss. Changes in the definitions of the segments had no effect on the valuation.

Based on the results of estimates of fair value of contingent payments liability for acquisitions of shares in foreign companies, the company recognized material financial income (nota 6.10.).

6.2.5. Correction of errors and change of the accounting policies

As of 1 January 2019, changes have been introduced to the accounting policy in connection with implementation of a new accounting standard, i.e. IFRS 16. An error resulting from change of the discount rate applied for the purposes of IFRS 16, as described in Note 6.2.3, was also corrected.

6.4. Seasonality of the business

Seasonality of the activity of holders of cards such as MultiSport Plus and/or FitSport is typical of the industry of additional employee benefits that is based on access to sports and recreational facilities. Traditionally, in the first calendar quarter of calendar year (I quarter of the financial year of the Group), the activity of the card users is the greatest in comparison to the remaining periods of the financial year. This trend is reflected in many financial categories: on the cost side in entities connected with sale of sports cards and on the income side in the entites offering access to fitness services, what may also be additionally attributable to weather conditions, arrangement of the statutory public holidays in specific years and to other factors. Seasonality in the Cafeteria segment is reflected in the growth of sales in the last moth of the year, due to the holiday season.

6.6. Operating segments

The Group presents the information concerning the operating segments in compliance with IFRS 8 - Operating segments, for the current reporting period and for the analogous period.

Since 1Q 2019, the Parent Company has been presenting the results broken down into segments that reflect the long-term investment strategy and the business management model taking into account the activity types. The Company presents the following segments:

    1. Polish
    1. Foreign
    1. Cafeterias

The BS Group generates revenues and costs from the above-specified business operations, which are reguarly reviewed by the [governing] bodies vested with the operating decsionmaking powers and used when making decisions concerning the resources allocated to specific segments and upon assessment of the segment results.

The BS Group has at its disposal separate financial information concerning the abovespecified segments.

In the financial statements of the previous years, in addition to the Foregin and the Cafeterias segments, the Company presented incorrectly the Sports Cards and the Fitness segments. Following internal analyses, in the opinion of the Management Board of the Company, the Polish segment better reflects the strategies of and the management of the Group.

The key decisions regarding investments and disinvestments into the fitness business have been made on the basis of the benefits for the BS Group from the point of view of the major product - sports cards. The Management Board of the Parent Company is of the opinion that with a view to ensuring a stable development of the sports cards over the long term it is important that the fitness infrastructure meets the expectations of the existing or potential customers for fitness servicese (in particular, in terms of location, space, the required standard of the sports equipment, etc.).

Additionally, analyses related to the investment process are considered from the point of view of the effective offer of space in terms of square meters given the increase year-on-year demand for physical activity among Poles that is realised using the MultiSport programme.

From the perspective of the main product, i.e. the sports cards, the Parent Company's management does not consider the revenues or the activity of the clubs as independent cash inflows.

Acquisitions of the fitness clubs of the previous years were done with a view to building the infrastructure (new space for exercising) for the main product that was being developed, i.e. the sports cards, and with a view to building the competitive advantage. Fast development of the Group's own network of sports clubs (where the BS Group enjoys exclusivity) has contributed to a further dynamic growth of sales of sports cards. Apart from the BS Group, so far there has been no other entity on the Polish market that conducted similar activities in the sports cards segment.

The major customers of the Company have branches in many locations in Poland and their employees visit both the partner clubs and the Benefit Systems' own clubs. The Group's own clubs in the attractive locations appreciated by the users constitute an important distinguishing feature of the Group which largely prevails when BS is chosen as the provider of the sports card services. Owing to this, Users (customers' employees) have a guaranteed access to many locations.

The key tasks of the fitness activity, whether in Poland or in other countries, include development of the cards by creating infrastructure at the locations where there is demand for the sports cards services and the building of the competitive edge.

The Group has been applying the same accounting standards to all the operating segments, including the Foreign Segment. The Group has been settling intra-segmental transactions as if they applied to non-related parties, i.e. using the market prices.

EBITDA and operating profit or loss provide the basis for the assessment of the results of the segments' activities. For the Group, EBITDA means EBIT plus amortisation and depreciation adjsuted for one-offs for non-financial assets, whereby EBIT means profit (loss) on continued activity before taxation, earnings and financial expenses, i.e. operating profit/loss.

In the current reporting period ended on 30 June 2019, the Group has not identified individual customers with whom they might generate revenues on sales in excess of 10% of the total revenues of the BS Group.

In the opinon of the Management Board, the segment across Poland, including its components: sports cards and fitness, which have been so far recognized separately, which was not correct, reflects best the activity that the Group has been conducting at least since 2015.

Revenues from sales reported in the consolidated income statement are not different from the revenues presented as part of the operating segments, save for the revenues not attributed to segments and for consolidation exclusions applicable to intrasegmental transactions.

The Capital Group is not significantly dependent on major external customers.

Goodwill

The Capital Group recognizes the goodwill that was generated as a result of Benefit Systems SA's acquisition of 47.5% of shares in Benefit Partners sp. z o.o. at the price of PLN 2.6 million from Cal Capital Sp. z o.o on 15 January 2019. Following the transaction, the dominant Company now holds in aggregate 95% of shares in Benefit Partners and took over control of the company.

Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o. is the main lessor of the sports equipment used by the fitness clubs belonging to the companies of the Capital Group. The acquisition of a subsidiary increases the Group's impact on the development of its operations in a direction consistent with the Group's strategy.

On 25 January, 2019, for sale of an organized part of enterprise taking the form of a fitness club in Skawina was executed between Benefit Systems S.A. (the Purchaser's Surety), Fitness Place Sp. z o.o. (the Purchaser) and Mr Bartosz Gibała running business activity under the name of Bartosz Gibała Platinium with its registered seat in Kraków (PGB). The price of sale was set at the amount of PLN 4 671 thousand. The transfer of ownership of the organized part of the enterprise to the Purchaser took place on February 1, 2019.

On 10 June 2019, Fit Invest Bulgaria EOOD, acting on the basis of agreement executed with M-Unite with its registered seat in Sophia, became the owner of:

  • the right of use (lease agreement) of the 2 FIT club, situated at shopping mall: The Mall, in Mladost, Bulgaria; and

  • assets including in particular fitness equipment and investments into third-party fixed asset.

The value of the agreement amounted to EUR 450 ths (the equivalent of BGN 880 ths).

The club was acquired with a view to ensuring the Bulgarian holders of the sport cards an uninterrupted access to one of the most popular clubs in Sofia.

The goodwill originating from a provisional accounting for the above transactions follows from the projected synergies resulting from the use of the acquired assets in the business of the Capital Group and presents the value of assets that could not be recognized individually in accordance with IAS 38. The goodwill, which was allocated to cash flow generating units: Polska (Benefit Partners oraz Platinium Wellness) and Bulgaria (2FIT).

6.9. Property, plant and equipment

As at 30 June 2019, the net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was PLN 356.1 million. The increase of PLN 85.3 million in the value of property, plant and equipment as compared to the end of 2018 results primarily from: consolidation of the subsidiary Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o. (PLN 86.3 million) and investments in new fitness clubs by Zdrofit Sp. z o.o. (PLN 21.3 million), Fitness Place Sp. z o.o. (PLN 2.3 million) and purchase of fitness equipment by other subsidiaries.

6.10. Receivables and loans

A drop in the value of loans by PLN 41.6 million as compared to end of 2018, is attributable to inclusion of subsidiary Benefits Partners Sp. z o.o. in the consolidation and elimination of the loans extended to the said company (PLN 40.9 million). The Group extended loans to the Partners in the MultiSport Programme at the total amount of PLN 6 million. The amount of loans repaid by the borrowers in the said period amounted to PLN 6.6 million.

6.11. Fair value of financial instruments

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

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

The group qualified the put option for the purchase of non-controlling stake in Multisport Benefit SRO to level 3. The fair value of the liability for exercising the put option in the net amount of PLN 35.2 million, recognized on the date of the acquisition, reflects estimated, probabilityweighted present value of cash flows. To determine the fair value, the Management Board of the parent company assumed a 100% probability that the assumed pre-requisite conditions would be met.

The Group classified the put options for the purchase of non-controlling shares in Benefit Systems Slovakia S.R.O. into Stage 3. The fair value of the liability on account of exercise of the put options at PLN 5.3 milllion net recognised as at the acquisition date reflects the probability-weighted current value of cash flows as estimated by the Group. With a view to determiing the fair value, the Management Board of the dominant Company assumed with a 100% probability that the presumed prerequisites would be met.

Contingent payments for takeover of control of Fabryka Formy Sp. z o.o. and the companies originated following the transformation of Calypso Fitness SA were classified as a financial liability that was measured at fair value of nil as at the balance sheet date. Decrease in the valuation of liabilities for contingent payments in the amount of PLN 9,797 thousand was recognized in financial income.

Due to the fact that the projections of the financial results of Fit Fabric Sp. z o.o. have been upheld, the Group has not changed the measurement of the contingent liability related to acquisition of 47.5% minotiry stake compred to the valuation of 31 Decmber 2018. Value of the aforementioned liability stands at 21.2mn.

The book valuation of the financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2019 does not significantly depart from their fair value measurement.

6.12. Share capital

Over six months of 2019, the dominant Company has not issued any shares, in particular in connection with the exercise of the options vested in the employeees as part of the Incentive Programme.

As of 30 June 2019 share capital of the parent company amounted to PLN 2 859 thousand (as of 2018 year-end: PLN 2 859 thousand) and was divided into 2 858 842 shares (2018 yearend: 2 858 842) with a nominal value of PLN 1.00 each. All shares have been fully paid up.

Alle shares participate equally in profit distribution and each share gives the right to one vote at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The parent company does not excercise voting rights from the 54 811 own shares.

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

6.15. Share-based payments

On the basis of resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders, an Incentive Programme (hereinafter the Programme or IP) existis at Benefit Systems Group. On 10th February, 2016, the Supervisory Board of the Parent company adopted a proposal for the next edition of the

Incentive Programme for the period 2017-2020. Specified employees, both among senior executives and employees from middle management can participate in the Incentive Programme. The aim of the programme is to create an incentive system that will promote efficient and loyal work aimed at achieving high financial results and a long-term increase in the value of the Parent company. Under this Programme, eligible employees receive subscription warrants, which are convertible into shares of the parent company. During the Incentive Programme for the period 2017-2020 its participants (at most 149 people) will be able to receive a maximum of 100,000 subscription warrants (which after conversion into shares will represent 3.44% of the share capital of the parent company, increased by the maximum number of warrants), which will give an entitlement to subscribe to the specific number of shares in the parent company at their nominal value in four equal tranches.

The condition for acquiring rights to subscribe for the warrants is to meet the three criteria:

  • Loyalty criterium – that is to remain in the employment contract, which is not terminated, at the end of the calendar year, for which the options are being granted,

  • Quality criterium – evaluated after the Group reaches the agreed level of pre-tax profit adjusted for the book cost of the programme attributable to the financial year,

  • Evaluation criterium – understood as a positive evaluation of a member of the Programme's work based on the adopted in the Parent Company internal regulations and the annual goals.

The necessary condition for initiating the Incentive Programme in a a given year is the attainment of a specific level of pre-tax profit (the programme for the years 2017-2020) adjusted for the book cost of the programme attributable to the financial year. The options granted may be exercised up to 30th September, 2021.

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

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

Maximum

Adjusted pre-tax profit

75% 18 750 85 97.5 110 130
50% 12 500 80 91.0 106 121

Management Stock Option Program valuation for 2019 was based on the following assumptions:

Valuation of the Management Stock Option Program - Black and Scholes model
Data 2019
X(t) – share price at the valuation date (PLN) 904.00
P – excercise price (PLN) 491.93
r- risk-free rate for PLN 1.69%
T – expiry date 2021-03-31
t – current date (for pricing) 2019-02-12
Sigma – daily volatility 33.85%

* date of final, full allocation of warrants

The expected share volatility was estimated on the basis of historical quotations of shares of the Dominant Entity on the Warsaw Stock Exchange for the period of 02.01.2016 - 31.12.2016 (options for 2017), for the period of 02.01.2017 - 30.12.2017 (options for 2018), and for the period of 02.01.2018 - 30.12.2018 (options for 2019).

The cost of the Programme recognized in the reporting period in the amount of PLN 410 thousand corresponds to realisation of the 50% threshold for the condition of consolidated profit before tax of the Capital Group. Since the origin of the Incentive Plan (i.e. since 2011), the Company has been applying the same measurement methods to the costs of the Plan in the profit and loss account, with the proviso that starting from 2019, the costs recognized in the reporting period only apply to the tranche of warrants that was attributed to specific holders on the basis of the contracts with managers. In 1H 2019, there were 4,350 warrants.

6.16. Dividend

On 10 February 2016, the Management Board for the parent company adopted its Shareholder Profit Distribution Policy for the years 2016-2019, which was subsequently approved by the Supervisory Board and Annual General Meeting of the parent company. In each year of the Profit Distribution Policy the buyback of shares will be carried out in the amount of at least 50% of the standalone net profit of the parent company for the previous financial year. The policy takes into account the financial situation and investment requirements of the parent company and Group's companies, including those related to the implementation of investment agreements, as well as liquidity needs within the Group. The Profit Distribution Policy is in force and commenced with the distribution of net profit of the parent company for the year ended 31 December 2015, and constitutes a continuation of the Dividend Policy of 25 September 2012.

On 21 May 2019, the Supervisory Board of the dominant Company issued a positive opinion on the motion put forth by the Management Board of the dominant Company to present the Ordinary General Meeting with a proposal to appropriate the entire profit, as reported in the financial statements of the Company for year 2018, in the amount of PLN 146.0 million, for the supplementary capital of the dominant Company and to recommend it to the Ordinary General Meeting to appropriate the sum of PLN 57 milion for a dividend buyback of the dominant Comany's own shares.

On 25 June 2019, Ordinary General Meeting of the dominant Company adopted resolution concerning appropriation of the net profit of the dominant Company for year 2018. Given the buy-back of the dominant Company's own shares as contemplated by its Management Board, acting in line with the 2016-2019 Distribution of Profits to Shareholders Policy, the General Meeting decided to appropriate the entire net profit of PLN 146.0 million for the supplementary capital.
