Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

This separate financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) approved by the EU under the relevant Regulation on the Application of International Accounting Standards (European Council 1606/2002), hereinafter referred to as UE IFRS.

UE IFRS comprise standards and interpretations endorsed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), approved for use in the EU.

Standards and interpretations applied for the first time

In preparing its separate financial statement for 2018 the Company applied the same accounting standards as in its separate financial statement for 2017 with exception of the following new and amended standards and interpretations approved by the European Union and applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018:

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

This financial statement marks the first time the Company has applied IFRS 9 Financial instruments. The Company has opted to forgo adjusting data representing past reporting periods, except for adjustments associated with changes introduced by IFRS in relation to IAS 1 Preparation of financial statements, which mandate recognition of impairment losses (including reversal of impairment loses or gains) on financial instrument as a separate line item in the profit and loss account. As a consequence of this change, the comparative data in the profit and loss account for the twelve-month period between 1 January and 31 December 2018 has been adjusted accordingly. The reported adjustment concerns presentation of data only and has no impact on the Company's operating profit. Previously, all such costs had been aggregated with other operating expenses.

The Company had initially planned to aggregate the effects of initial application of IFRS 9 in its opening balance of retained earnings; however, given the fact that the loss allowances on financial assets calculated for 1 January 2018 in accordance with the new rules are not materially different from allowances already reported in the Company's financial statement for 31 December 2017, the Company has instead decided to forgo adjusting its opening balance of retained earnings in association with applying IFRS 9 for the first time.

IFRS 9 defines four categories of financial assets, differing with regard to the applied business model and the characteristics of the associated cash flows:

    • assets classified at amortized cost this category comprises financial assets held under a business model whose aim is to collect contractual cash flows, where the business contract concerning these assets stipulates cash flows related solely to repayment of the principal and interests; in other words, assets which pass the so-called SPPI test (solely payment of principal and interest);
    • assets classified at fair value reported in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) this category comprises financial assets held under a business model whose aim is to both collect contractual cash flows and to potentially sell the relevant assets, where the business contract concerning these assets stipulates cash flows related solely to repayment of the principal and interests; in other words, assets which pass the so-called SPPI test (solely payment of principal and interest);
    • assets classified at fair value through profit and loss all other financial assets;
    • financial hedges derivative financial instruments designated as hedges.

Each financial asset is assigned to one of the above categories on initial recognition. This assignment may change only if the associated business model changes. Essential classes of business models are as follows: assets held to collect contractual cash flows; assets held to collect contractual cash flows and potentially sell the asset; assets held for reasons others than those listed previously (as a rule, this is construed as holding assets for trading). The Company has adopted a rule stating that the sale of a financial asset prior to its maturity does not, in itself, cause the underlying business model to shift from holding assets to collect contractual cash flows to holding assets to collect contractual cash flows and potentially sell the assets or to holding assets for other purposes.

As the Company does not engage in hedge accounting, the corresponding IFRS 9 provisions do not apply to the Company's activities.

IFRS 9 does not result in a change in the classification of the Company's financial liabilities, which will continue to be recognized at amortized cost.

The following table illustrates changes in the classification of financial instruments as of 1 January 2018 which is the date of initial application of IFRS 9 by the Company. Applying the new standard in place of IAS 39 has not resulted in a methodological change in the appraisal of financial assets and liabilities. The default appraisal method continues to be the amortized cost method; consequently, the balance of financial assets and liabilities on the initial application day of IFRS 9 remains unchanged in comparison with IAS 39.

Another major change introduced by IFRS 9 concerns recognition of credit risk in association with assets which constitute a financial instrument. The existing present losses model has been replaced by a new expected losses model.

The basis for determining loss allowances in the ECL (expected credit loss) model is a procedure under which the Company monitors changes in credit risk associated with each financial asset since its initial recognition, and assigns each financial asset to one of three stages (this method is applicable to financial assets held at amortized cost which are not trade receivables).

The following credit risk stages are defined:

  • Stage 1 performing (applicable to financial assets which show no significant deterioration in credit quality since initial recognition)
  • Stage 2 under-performing (applicable in cases of significant deterioration in credit quality when there are no objective reasons to suspect impairment)
  • Stage 3 impaired (applicable in cases where objective reasons to suspect impairment exist)

With regard to Stage 1 assets the Company calculates ECL over the upcoming 12 months and recognizes the appropriate allowance, whereas with regard to Stages 2 and 3 the Company recognizes a loss allowance corresponding to the ECL over the entire lifetime of the given financial asset.

For each balance sheet date the Company performs an assessment of its financial assets with respect to the presented ECL stages. In doing so, the Company acknowledges changes in the risk of default during the expected lifetime of the financial asset rather than the corresponding changes in expected credit losses. The procedure requires the Company to compare the risk of default for a given financial instrument on the balance sheet date with the corresponding risk on its initial recognition, taking into account all rational and documented information which may be acquired without undue cost or effort, and which suggests a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Such information may include changes in the debtor's credit rating, awareness of the debtor's financial distress or of detrimental changes in the debtor's economic, legal, technological or market environment. When assessing ECLs the Company relies primarily on credit ratings and the corresponding likelihood of insolvency.

With regard to trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach provided for by the standard and recognizes a loss allowance corresponding to the ECL over the entire lifetime of the given receivable. This approach is a consequence of the fact that the Company's receivables do not involve a significant financing element as defined by IFRS 15. When calculating the relevant loss allowances the Company applies the provision matrix method under which allowances are calculated separately for each overdue period bracket. This method acknowledges historical credit losses as well as identifiable future factors and (e.g. market or macroeconomic projections).

The likelihood of credit default is estimated on the basis of historical data concerning overdue receivables. In order to calculate non-performance coefficients the Company has decided upon five overdue period brackets:

    1. Not overdue,
    1. Overdue by 1-60 days,
    1. Overdue by 61-90 days,
    1. Overdue by 91-180 days,
    1. Overdue by 181-360 days,
    1. Overdue by more than 360 days.

For each of the above brackets the Company estimates a non-performance coefficient which acknowledges historical data concerning failure to settle invoices on the part of the Company's business partners throughout three years prior to the reporting period covered by the given financial statement. The expected credit loss is then computed by multiplying the aggregate receivables in a given bracket by the non-performance coefficient corresponding to that bracket.

With regard to trade receivables the Company also allows for custom appraisal of the expected credit losses. In particular this applies to:

  • receivables from debtors undergoing liquidation or insolvency proceedings,
  • receivables contested by the debtor or cases where the debtor is in arrears,
  • other past-due receivables as well as receivables which are not overdue, but whose default risk is, in the Board's opinion, significant (in particular, cases where the expected litigation and enforcement costs exceed the amount in controversy).

In the above cases the Company may recognize loss allowances corresponding to 100% of the given receivable.

The Company may refrain from recognizing loss allowances on receivables which are overdue by more than 360 days if, following individual analysis, the Company concludes that it is in possession of a credible and documented declaration of payment issued by the debtor.

Financial assets are written off in full once the Company has exhausted all feasible enforcement options and reached the conclusion that there are no longer any rational grounds to expect collection of the receivables. This usually occurs when a receivable is overdue by more than 360 days.

As of 31 December 2017 and as of 31 December 2018 the Company has not identified any financial assets for which it would be permitted to apply recognition at fair value through financial result so as to reduce or eliminate accounting mismatch (i.e. inconsistency between recognition and evaluation) which would otherwise arise as a result of recognition of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company has also not availed itself of the option to recognize financial liabilities at fair value. In such cases, changes in fair value which correspond to changes in credit risk would be aggregated with other comprehensive income while – once the given financial liability is derecognized – the value previously aggregated with other comprehensive income would not be allocated to the financial result.

IFRS 15 and clarifications regarding IFRS 15 – Revenues from contracts with customers

This financial statement marks the Company's initial application of IFRS 15 Revenues from contracts with customers. This standard institutes the so-called Five Step Model when recognizing revenues from contracts with customers. According to IFRS 15, the revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which – in line with the entity's expectations – is payable in exchange for the products or services delivered to the customer. The new standard supersedes all existing requirements concerning recognition of revenues under IFRS.

Licensing royalties associated with distribution of videogames

Under the new regulation, entities which grant customers licenses to use their intellectual property must determine whether the license is transferred to the customer over a period of time or at a specific point in time. Licenses transferred at a point in time give the customer the right to use the entity's intellectual property as it existed at the moment the license was transferred. In order to recognize the corresponding revenue, the customer must possess the means to direct the use of the corresponding intellectual property, and gain all other essential benefits associated with its use. A license transferred over a period of time permits the client to use the intellectual property throughout the license period. During this period the client may expect that the entity will undertake actions which significantly affect the relevant intellectual property (i.e. significantly alter its form or content, with the client's ability to gain the benefits of its use dependent on actions undertaken by the owner). In such cases the revenue is recognized over the license period.

With regard to videogame licensing royalties, which represent the Company's main source of revenues, the actual value of revenues depends on the sales volume reported by the distributor during a given period. In light of this, revenues from sales of a specific product will be recognized over time once the distributor obtains all materials required in order to commence distribution. Consequently, no changes in the Company's accounting practices are necessary compared to IAS 18 (previously applied by the Company).

Revenues from sales of virtual goods via microtransactions

In the Company's view, IFRS 15 may affect recognition of revenues from sales of virtual goods in the framework of online F2P games with optional microtransactions, including GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. This conclusion indicates the need to conduct an analysis (mandated by IFRS 15) whether such products and services concerned are delivered to customers over time or at a specific point in time.

As a rule, virtual goods offered in videogames are divided into two categories: durable virtual goods (where the user gains the right to use an item indefinitely and the item is not consumed during use) and consumable virtual goods. With regard to the former category, revenues are recognized over time, based on in-game statistics (such as the usage period of a given item), while for the latter category, revenues are recognized either at the moment of use or in proportion to the amount of goods consumed.

With regard to revenues from sales of virtual currencies, the Company will recognize them at the moment the currency is consumed by the user.

In light of the above the Company has conducted an analysis of the structure of virtual goods sold, their corresponding usage statistics and the turnover of the game's virtual currency (meteorite dust). It was concluded that application of IFRS 15 does not produce a material change in the reported financial data. Consequently, the Board has opted not to recognize revenues from sales of virtual goods over time.

During the assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company's financial statement it was determined that IFRS 15 does not materially alter the recognition of revenues by the Company given the existing mechanics and usage statistics of GWENT. It should, however, be noted that GWENT remains a relatively new product and, consequently, the aforementioned assessment may change in the future.

Should the Company determine that, as a result of changes in game mechanics, recognition of revenues from microtransactions over time has become necessary, the corresponding values will be aggregated with deferred revenues.

Advance payments from clients

The Company obtains short-term advance payments from its clients. Prior to introduction of IFRS 15 such advance payments were reported as deferred revenues in the statement of financial position, and did not correspond to any cost item.

Following introduction of IFRS 15 the recognition of short-term advance payments follows the simplified procedure provided for by the new standard. With regard to such advance payments the Company will continue to forgo identifying the corresponding cost items as long as it expects that – at the moment the relevant agreement is concluded – the period between the collection of payment for the product or service and the actual delivery of said product of service to the client will not exceed 1 year.

Requirements related to presentation and disclosure of information

IFRS 15 introduces new requirements related to presentation and disclosure of information. In meeting these requirements the Company has decided to provide additional disclosures related to (see Note 1):

  • own and external products,
  • main distribution channels: physical and digital distribution,
  • clients' countries of residence.

Amendments to IFRS 4 – Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts

Changes concern application of the new standard (IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) prior to implementation of a new standard concerning insurance contract which is currently under development. In order to mitigate temporal variations in financial reporting associated with implementation of IFRS 9, changes in IFRS 4 specify that two approaches are permissible: the overlay approach and the deferral approach. These changes complement options which existing standards already provide. They have no impact on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial data.

Amendments to IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment

Amendments clarify the classification and measurement of share-based cash-settled payment transactions and the effects of changes to an equity-settled share-based payment. They have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial data.

Amendments to IFRS (2014-2016) adopted during the annual IFRS improvements cycle

Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS concern deletion of short-term exemptions provided for under §E3–E7 IFRS 1 since these exemptions were applicable to past reporting periods and have now served their purpose. Additional amendments have also been introduced in IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, clarifying that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-byinvestment basis, upon initial recognition. These amendments have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial data.

Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property: Transfers of investment property

The amendment provides clarifications and guidance on transfers to, or from, investment properties. In line with the amended standard, such a transfer should only be made only when there is evidence of a change in the use of the property. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management's intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. These amendments have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial data.

IFRIC 22 Foreign currency transactions and advance considerations

The IFRIC 22 interpretation concerns the exchange rate to be applied to foreign currency transactions which involve receipt or payment of advance consideration prior to recognition of the related asset, expense or income. This interpretation cannot be applied if the relevant asset, expense or income was initially estimated at fair value. This interpretation has no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial data.

Standards published and approved by the EU which have not yet entered into force, and their effect on the Company's financial statement

The Board has carried out an assessment of the effect of new standards upon future financial statements of the Company. In approving this financial statement the Company did not apply the following standards, amendments and interpretations which have been published and approved for use in the EU. but have not yet entered into force:

IFRS 16 – Leases, applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

In January 2016 the International Accounting Standards Board published IFRS 16 Leases, which superseded IAS 17 Leases, IFRS 16 sets forth rules concerning assessment, presentation and disclosure of lease agreements. The major change is to introduce a uniform model for lessee accounting, forgoing the distinction between financial and operating lease agreements. Under the new regulation all agreements which meet the definition of a lease agreement or which include aspects of such are to be treated in accordance with the erstwhile financial lease model. Accordingly, the new standard will contribute to an increase in the value of non-financial assets and other financial liabilities in the statement of financial position, and to a decrease in operating expenditures along with an increase in financial expenditures in the profit and loss account. Regarding the statement of cash flows, a decrease in operating outflows and an increase in financial outflows can be expected.

In 2018 the Company carried out a comprehensive analysis of the effects of introducing IFRS 16 upon the accounting practices in force at the Company with regard to its activities and financial results. It was concluded that the new standard will most significantly affect the presentation of fixed-term office space lease agreements, which, due to their economic content, had previously been classified as operating lease agreements in accordance with IAS 17. As a consequence, the Company had not previously recognized assets covered by these agreements in its financial statement. In 2019 these agreements will be treated as financial and subject to a uniform model of lessee accounting, requiring the Company to recognize its right to use the lease office space as an asset, along with liabilities which reflect the corresponding lease payments.

On the day of initial application of IFRS 16 the Company intends to apply a retrospective approach to office space lease agreements scheduled to end later than 12 months after the aforementioned initial application date, recognizing the aggregate effect of applying the new standard on the initial application date without converting the relevant comparative data. The

aggregate effect of applying the new standard will be recognized as an adjustment in the balance of retained earnings. Current projections indicate that application of the new standard will result in recognition of lease liabilities equivalent to the current balance of other lease agreements adjusted by the lessee's marginal interest rate on the date of initial application, yielding a total of 11 385 PLN, along with recognition of an equivalent asset which reflects the Company's right to use the leased office space.

With regard to lease agreements scheduled to end earlier than 12 months following the initial application date of IFRS 16, the Company intends to apply the practical expedient foreseen in section C10 item c) of the standard. According to this regulation, a lessee may elect not to apply the previously specified requirements to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application. Consequently, the Company shall account for those leases in the same way as short-term leases, recognizing the cost associated with those leases throughout the duration of the lease agreement. In addition, the Company will disclose such costs as short-term lease costs in the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application.

With regard to lease agreements classified as financial under IAS 17, on the date of initial application of IFRS the balance sheet value of assets which represent the right to use the leased object, as well as the corresponding liabilities, will correspond to the balance sheet value of such assets and liabilities on the day preceding the initial application date and evaluated in accordance with IAS 17. The provisions of IFRS 16 will subsequently apply to such agreements throughout 2019.

With regard to other contracts not classified as either operating or financial lease agreements under IAS 17, the Company intends to apply another practical expedient foreseen in section C3 of the interim regulations of IFRS 16. According to this regulation, an entity is not required to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, the entity is permitted not to apply IFRS 16 to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Consequently, the Company will apply the new standard only to agreements concluded (or amended) on the date of initial application of IFRS 16 or thereafter.

The approach adopted by the Company is justified by the fact that very few agreements to which the Company is a party might be regarded as containing a lease under IFRS 16 where no such designation would apply under IAS 17. Consequently, the effect of the above changes on the accounting practices in force at the Company or on its financial result may be regarded as negligible.

Amendments to MSR 28 – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures – applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

The amendments concern recognition of long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. In line with the amended regulation, such interests should be recognized in accordance with the new IFRS 9 standard, particularly as concerns impairment.

The Company does not expect these amendments to have a significant impact upon its accounting practices or financial result.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments – applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

The interpretation clarifies the recognition and measurement procedures specified in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there are uncertainties in the amount of income tax payable (recoverable). An uncertainty over income tax treatment emerges when there is doubt whether the applied treatment will be accepted by taxation authorities. If the entity regards such uncertainties as significant, they should be reflected in the tax disclosures for the period to which the treatment applies, e.g. by recognizing an additional tax liability or applying a higher tax rate. Measurement of such uncertainties should be based either on the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment.

The Company does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact upon its accounting practices or financial result.

Amendments to IFRS 9 – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation – applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

These amendments concern the accounting of prepayable financial assets with the so-called negative compensation. Such assets should be measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income instead of at fair value through or loss.

The Company does not expect these amendments to have a significant impact upon its accounting practices or financial result.

Amendments to IAS 19 – Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement – applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

These amendments affect amendment, curtailment or settlement of certain plans by specifying that it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement.

The Company does not expect these amendments to have a significant impact upon its accounting practices or financial result.

Amendments to IFRS (2015-2017) adopted under the annual IFRS improvements cycle – applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

These amendments concern four standards: IAS 12 Income taxes with regard to recognizing the income tax consequences of dividends, IAS 23 Borrowing costs with regard to modified assets readied for intended use or sale, IFRS 3 Business combinations with regard to acquisition of control of a business that is a joint operation, and IFRS 11 Joint arrangements with regard to lack of control of a participant over a joint arrangement.

The Company does not expect these amendments to have a significant impact upon its accounting practices or financial result.

Standards and interpretations approved by the IASB but not yet approved by the EU

In approving this financial statement the Company did not apply the following standards, amendments and interpretations which have not yet been approved for use in the EU:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of 'material' applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020,
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business combinations applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020,
  • Amendments to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020,
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements and IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint ventures effective date not set,
  • IFRS 14 Regulatory deferral accounts applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The European Commission has decided to withhold approval of this temporary standard for use in the UE until the final version of the standard is published,
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

As of the publication date of this financial statement, the Company is performing an assessment of the effect these new standards and amendments to standards upon the Company's financial statement.

Description of applicable accounting practices

Operating revenues and expenses

Revenues are defined as the gross receipts on any economic benefits from the reported period resulting from (ordinary) economic activities of the Company and leading to an increase in its equity other than from capital increases obtained through shareholder contributions.

The Company recognizes revenues by applying the so-called Five Step Model described in IFRS 15. Revenues only cover amounts received or receivable by the Company, equivalent to the transaction prices payable to the Company following (or during) discharge of its liability to transfer the contractually pledged goods or services to the client. The transaction price is defined as the remuneration which the company expects to receive in return for transfer of the pledged goods or services, less the applicable value added tax.

In accordance with the principle of matching revenues and expenses, expenses associated with consumption of materials, goods and finished products are reported in the same period as their corresponding sales revenues.

Further information regarding recognition of revenues can be found contained in Section 2, "Clarifications regarding the separate financial statement – Standards and interpretations applied for the first time" elsewhere in this financial statement.

Financial revenues and expenses

Financial revenues consist mainly of interest on bank deposits of monetary assets, commissions and interest on loans granted, penalty interest on overdue receivables, liabilities, dissolved provisions associated with financial activities, revenues from sales of securities, gains from exchange rate differences, reversal of impairment of investment assets, credit/loan write-offs and gains from revaluation of derivatives.

Financial expenses consist mainly of interest on outstanding credits and loans, penalty interest on overdue liabilities, provisions set aside to cover certain or probable losses from financial operations, purchase value of any securities sold, commissions and handling charges, write-downs on interest owed and short-term investment valuations, discounts, exchange rate differences and, in the case of financial lease agreements, any other payments except capital payments.

State subsidies

Subsidies are not recognized until there is a reasonable certainty that the Company will fulfill the necessary criteria and receive the subsidy. State subsidies predicated on the condition that the recipient purchases or produces certain fixed assets are recognized in the statement of financial position in the deferred revenues line item and charged to the financial result systematically throughout the anticipate economic life of such assets.

Current and deferred income tax

The reported revenue is subject to compulsory taxation, whether current or deferred. Current tax is calculated on the basis of taxable income in a given financial year. Tax gain (or loss) differs from net accounting gain (or loss) due to temporal differences in recognition of revenues and expenses for fiscal and accounting purposes, as well as due to permanent differences in handling certain revenues and expenses with regard to their fiscal and accounting effects, as appropriate. Tax burden is calculated on the basis of tax rates valid for a given financial year. Current tax on items included directly in the equity capital is reported in the equity statement, as opposed to the profit and loss account.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method as the amount payable or receivable as a result of the difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax base amounts.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized in correspondence with taxable positive temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized up to the amount of probable reduction in future tax gains by any recognized negative temporary differences. A tax asset or liability is not recognized if the underlying temporary difference is due to goodwill or prior inclusion of another asset or liability in a transaction which does not affect the company's taxable or accounting revenues.

Deferred income tax liabilities are applied to temporary tax differences resulting from investments in associates and joint ventures unless the Company is capable of controlling the moment of reversal of the temporary difference and the temporary difference is unlikely to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The value of the asset associated with deferred tax is subject to analysis for each balance sheet date. If the expected future tax gains are insufficient to cover the asset or part thereof, a write-down is recognized on the asset.

Deferred tax is calculated by applying rates which will be in force on the date the corresponding gain is realized or the liability becomes due. Deferred tax is reported in the profit and loss account unless it applies to assets included directly in the equity capital in which case it is also reported in the equity capital.

Value added tax

All revenues, expenses and assets are recorded following deduction of the applicable value added tax, except for:

  • cases where the value added tax paid when purchasing assets or services cannot be recovered from tax authorities, in which case it is reported as part of the purchase cost of a given asset or as an expense,
  • receivables and liabilities reported as inclusive of value added tax.

The net amount of value added tax recoverable from or payable to tax authorities is reported in the statement as part of the Company's receivables or liabilities.

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are recognized on the basis of their cost (purchase price or production cost) following deduction of depreciation and impairment for each reporting period. Borrowing costs associated directly with the purchase or construction of assets which require a long time to become usable or resalable are added to the cost of construction of such fixed assets up until the beginning of their useful economic life. Revenues from short-term investment of borrowings related to construction of fixed assets are deducted from the borrowing costs following capitalization. Other borrowing costs are reported as expenses in the period during which they were incurred.

Depreciation is calculated for all fixed assets except land holdings and fixed assets under construction, throughout their expected useful economic life, using the straight-line method.

The expected useful life for individual categories of tangible assets is as follows:

Category Useful life
Buildings and structures 5 – 10 years
Machinery and equipment 2 – 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Other fixed assets 2 – 10 years

Assets held under financial lease agreements are depreciated throughout their useful economic life in the same way as proprietary assets.

Profits or losses on sales/disposal or cessation of use of fixed assets are defined as the difference between their sales revenues and net value, and are reported in the profit and loss account.

Intangibles – expenditures on development projects

The Company reports expenses associated with development of videogames as "Expenditures on development projects". Videogame development expenses incurred prior to the commencement of sales or application of new solutions are recognized as "Development projects in progress". Once development has completed and the relevant costs are recognized, said expenses are transferred to the "Development projects completed" line item. In the case of projects for which a reliable estimate of sales volume and budget can be provided, the Company performs amortization on the basis of the expected distribution of sales revenues. In all other cases, the straight-line method is applied instead. Depreciation of development expenditures is presented in the profit and loss account as the cost of products and services sold.

Other intangibles

Intangibles are recognized according to their historical cost of purchase or production, following deduction of depreciation and impairment costs. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. Costs of research and development activities are not subject to activation and are reported in the profit and loss account for the period when they were incurred.

The expected useful life for individual classes of intangible assets is as follows:

Category Useful life
Patents and licenses 2 – 15 years
Computer software 2 – 10 years

In its financial statement, the Company regards The Witcher trademark and the CD PROJEKT brand name as its intangible assets. The value of trademarks is calculated using the relief from royalty method, which is one of the basic valuation methods for trademarks and other intangible assets in the context of business combinations, in line with IFRS 3 Business combinations. Trademark valuation is subject to yearly impairment tests.

Goodwill

Goodwill is defined as the positive difference between the cost of establishing a business combination (also known as acquisition or takeover cost) and the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Goodwill may be created either as a result of acquisition of a corporate entity, or through acquisition of an enterprise, i.e. an organized part of an entity, which is defined as a set of assets and corresponding liabilities, including contingent liabilities.

Combinations with external entities, except for combinations under common control, are accounted for using the purchase method according to which the takeover cost, calculated as the fair value of payment incurred for acquiring control over a corporate entity or part thereof (i.e. an enterprise), is allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the entity being acquired. Any surplus resulting from this allocation procedure is assumed to represent goodwill. Any negative difference between the acquisition cost and the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is treated as revenues and disaggregated in the profit and loss account as other operating revenues.

Business combinations under common control

Legal mergers between the parent company and a subsidiary thereof are recognized on the basis of the subsidiary's financial data disclosed in the parent company's consolidated financial statement; these figures include changes which occur at the parent company as a result of merging with the subsidiary. The reported financial result and financial position of the subsidiary are determined prospectively from the merger date.

Impairment of non-financial assets

For each balance sheet date the Company performs an inventory of the net value of all of its fixed assets in order to determine whether impairment of assets may have occurred.

If asset impairment is suspected, the recoverable amount of each asset is calculated to determine the potential write-down. If a given asset does not produce a cash flow that is substantially separate from cash flows produced by other assets, analysis is performed for the whole group of cash producing assets to which the given asset belongs.

For intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life this impairment test is performed on a yearly basis and, additionally, whenever impairment is suspected.

Recoverable amount is defined as the greater of the following two values: fair value of the asset less the cost of sale, and the asset's value in use. The latter value is defined as the balance of expected future cash flows produced by the asset, discounted using discount rates which acknowledge the market value of the relevant currency and a risk factor specific to the given asset.

If the recoverable amount of a given asset is lower than its net book value, the book value is lowered to match the recoverable amount. The loss resulting from this operation is accounted as cost in the period during which it was incurred, unless the asset had previously been carried at a revalued amount in which case the impairment is reflected by adjusting the revalued amount.

At the moment of reversal of asset impairment, the net value of the asset (or group of assets) is increased to match the newly estimated recoverable amount; it cannot, however, exceed the net value of the asset which would have been reported had the impairment not been recognized during previous fiscal years. Reversal of asset impairment is recognized as revenues unless the asset had previously been carried at a revalued amount in which case the impairment reversal is reflected by adjusting the revaluation capital.

Investment properties

Investment properties are defined as all properties held for the expected revenues from rent, increase in value, or both. As such, cash flows produced by investment properties are largely independent from those produced by other assets belonging to the Company.

Investment properties are estimated using the purchase cost method.

Perpetual usufruct of land

Perpetual usufruct may apply to land owned by the State Treasury, local authorities, or combinations thereof. Perpetual usufruct is a special type of property law which entitles physical or legal entities to use a given plot of land on an exclusive basis. Perpetual usufruct is fully transferable and usually granted for a period of 99 years, although in exceptional cases shorter grants (of at least 40 years) are permitted when the economic rationale for establishing the usufruct does not justify a longer grant.

Perpetual usufruct purchased from third parties is recognized as a distinct asset estimated at purchase price. Following initial recognition, such assets are deprecated in proportion to the remaining duration of the usufruct.

Perpetual usufruct acquired under an agreement for letting land for usufruct, concluded with the State Treasury, local authorities, or combinations thereof, is recognized as a distinct asset estimated as the surplus of the initial payment over the corresponding annual payment. Following initial recognition, such assets are deprecated in proportion to the remaining duration of the usufruct.

Lease agreements

Lease agreements are considered to be financial in nature if the agreement transfers the totality of potential benefits and risks associated with the lease to the lessee. All other forms of lease agreements are considered operating.

Assets utilized on the basis of financial lease agreements are considered to belong to the Company and are accounted by their fair value on the date of acquisition. The reported value cannot, however, exceed the current minimum total of lease payments. The lease agreement establishes a liability due to the lessor, which is aggregated with Other financial liabilities in the Company's financial statement. Lease payments are divided into capital and interest payments in such a way that the interest rate for the remaining portion of the liability remains fixed. Financial costs are reported in the profit and loss account. In the context of operating lease agreements, payments are allocated to costs throughout the duration of lease using the straight-line method.

Investments in affiliates

Investments in affiliates are accounted on their effective date and at cost. Assessment of such investments for a given balance sheet date is performed on the basis of initial cost minus the write-down associated with any permanent impairment of assets.

Financial assets

On initial recognition the Company assigns each of its financial assets into one of four categories, depending on the Company's business model related to management of financial assets and the specific nature of contractual cash flows associated therewith:

  • assets classified at amortized cost,
  • assets classified at fair value reported in other comprehensive income (FVOCI),
  • assets classified at fair value through profit and loss,
  • financial hedges.

Each financial asset is assigned to one of the above categories on initial recognition. This assignment may change only if the associated business model changes. Assets are recognized at the moment the Company becomes a party to a binding agreement.

Further information regarding financial assets can be found contained in Section 2, "Clarifications regarding the separate financial statement – Standards and interpretations applied for the first time" elsewhere in this financial statement.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is defined as any liability which:

  • is associated with a contractual obligation to transfer monetary or other financial assets to another entity, or exchange financial assets or liabilities with another entity on potentially disadvantageous terms;
  • is associated with a contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments and is a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments; or a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments. For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are considered equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or pro rata warrants to all existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments.

On initial recognition the Company classifies each of its financial liabilities as:

  • financial liabilities designated at fair value through financial result,
  • other financial liabilities designated at amortized cost.

On initial recognition a financial liability is estimated at fair value, which is increased – if the given liability is not qualified for estimation at fair value through financial result – by the cost of transactions directly related to said liability.

Inventories

The initial value (cost) of an inventory is the sum of all costs (related to purchase, production etc.) incurred in bringing the inventory to its current level and location. The cost of inventories is defined as the original purchase price increased by import duties and other taxes (which cannot be recovered from tax authorities), transport, loading and unloading costs, and any other costs associated with construction of inventories, and reduced by any discounts, rebates and similar deductions. Inventories are valued at initial cost (purchase price or production cost) or at their net sale price, whichever is lower. The net sale price is defined as the estimated sale price reduced by any costs involved in finalizing production, facilitating the sale and finding a buyer (this includes sales and marketing expenses, etc.) In relation to inventories, cost is always determined by applying the "weighted average" method.

Trade and other receivables

Receivables associated with delivery of products and services are entered in the accounts at their transaction prices, adjusted for impairment allowances under the expected credit loss model.

Accrued and deferred charges

The Company includes in its statement of deferred and accrued charges any prepayments and charges related in part or in full to subsequent reporting periods.

Deferred charges are recognized by the Company as allocated to future reporting periods, depending on when the relevant revenue is realized.

Claims related to sale of products which have been produced and accounted for in the reporting period but reported following the end of this period (in accordance with contractual obligations) are reported as trade receivables.

Accrued charges are charges associated with payment for products or services which have been received or performed, but which have not been paid for, invoiced or formally agreed upon with the supplier.

Cash and other monetary assets

Cash assets are defined as cash on hand, deposits payable on demand and bank deposits with maturity periods of up to 3 months. Other monetary assets represent highly liquid short-term investments easily exchangeable for a known quantity of cash and subject to low depreciation risk.

Overdraft on any current bank account is aggregated with credits and loans.

Cash flows associated with loans granted or taken out under the cash pool agreement are aggregated with other inflows or outflows from financial activities, as appropriate.

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Fixed assets held for sale (as well as net disposal groups) are estimated at either their carrying amount or their fair value less the cost of sale, whichever is lower.

Fixed assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is expected to be retrieved by way of sale rather than continued use. This condition is only considered fulfilled if the sale transaction is highly likely to occur and the given asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present form. Designating a given asset as held for sale conveys the Company management's intent to conclude the sale transaction within one year of such a designation being made.

Equity

Equity is treated in accounting practice with distinction to its type and in accordance with the applicable legal constraints, as well as any statutory requirements and conditions expressed in the contracts to which the Company is a party.

Share capital is reported at nominal value, in the amount consistent with the Company's Articles of Association and its record in the court register.

Supplementary capital is derived from:

  • the positive difference between the issue price of shares and their corresponding nominal value less the cost of issuance. Said costs, incurred while establishing a joint-stock company or increasing its share capital, limit the capital to the excess of issue price over the nominal value of shares,
  • profit earned.

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are created whenever the Company faces a liability (whether legal or customary) resulting from past events, it is likely that discharging said liability will reduce the Company's economic advantage and the liability can be reliably estimated. No provisions are made for future operating losses.

Restructuring cost allowances are made only when the Company has revealed a detailed and formalized restructuring plan to all interested parties.

Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits other than those stemming from termination of employment and equity compensation are recognized as liabilities following adjustment for any payments already made and, at the same time, as expenses during the period, unless a given benefit is includable in the cost of construction of an asset. The Company does not provide any employee benefit programs following termination of employment.

On 24 May 2016 the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of CD PROJEKT S.A. voted to institute an incentive program for persons viewed as crucially important for the Company's Capital Group as a whole and having a decisive influence upon the development of the Group's activity branches. A set of targets were established and the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company selected a number of persons who, assuming these profit and marketing goals are met, are rewarded with warrants entitling them to acquire company shares by way of a conditional increase in the Company's share capital. Details are presented in Current Report no. 18/2016 of 24 May 2016. The incentive program is settled in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payment rules.

Bank credits and loans

Any bank credits on which interest is charged (including overdraft facilities) are recognized in the amount of acquired revenues less the cost of acquisition. Financial costs, including commissions charged upon repayment or waivers, as well as direct costs of obtaining credit are reported in the profit and loss account using the accrual accounting method and included in the book value of the instrument adjusted for any repayments made in the reporting period. Accounting practices related to credits are also applied to loans. Loans granted are estimated at their amortized cost adjusted by applying the effective interest rate.

Trade and other liabilities

Liabilities pertaining to supplies and services are reported in their amortized cost. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to their commercial substance which depends on contractual obligations. Equity instruments are defined as contracts granting a share in the Company's equity less any applicable liabilities.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs associated with the purchase, construction or creation of a qualifying asset are recognized as a component of its acquisition or construction cost (IAS 23).

Dividend payments

Dividends are recognized at the moment the Company's shareholders become entitled to receive them.

Functional currency and presentation currency

Functional currency and presentation currency

Figures reported in this financial statement are denominated in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company carries outs its activities (functional currency). The functional currency and the presentation currency of the Company is the Polish Zloty (PLN).

Transactions and balances

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency according to the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Exchange rate losses and gains on settlement of transactions and on valuation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in the profit and loss statement unless deferred in the equity capital as cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments.

Important values based on professional judgment and estimates

Professional judgment

In applying accounting practices (policies) to the issues listed below, a key aspect – in addition to accounting estimates – is the professional judgment of Company management.

Classification of lease agreements

The Company classifies lease agreements as either operating or financial based on their assessment of the degree to which the risk and benefits from possessing the leased asset accrue to the lessee as opposed to the lessor. This assessment is based on the commercial substance of each agreement.

Uncertainty of estimates

This section lists key assumptions regarding future conditions and other fundamental sources of uncertainty, as of the balance sheet date, which may pose a serious risk of significant adjustments in asset and liability valuation during the coming financial year.

Asset impairment

Goodwill and trademark impairment tests require an assessment of the value in use of each cash generating unit. This assessment is based on a projection of future cash flows generated by individual cash generating units and requires an estimate of the discount rate applied when conducting pending assessment of the value of said flows. The latest test of the CD PROJEKT brand name, The Witcher trademark and of goodwill was conducted on 31 December 2018 and did not indicate impairment of any of those assets. Asset impairment tests at individual subsidiaries were last conducted on 31 December 2018 No circumstances were identified which would suggest impairment of these assets.

Valuation of provisions

Provisions for employee pensions and incentive program benefits settled in own shares were estimated on the basis of actuarial gains and losses.

Deferred tax assets

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets by anticipating future taxable revenues which may require recognition of such assets. A decrease in future economic performance might render such assumptions invalid.

Deferred tax provisions

The Company recognizes deferred income tax provisions by anticipating future tax liabilities arising from positive temporary differences, enabling the given provision to be consumed.

Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments for which there is no active market are estimated using the appropriate valuation methods. In selecting the suitable methods and assumptions the Company applies its professional judgment.

Depreciation rates

Depreciation rates are determined on the basis of the expected useful economic life of tangible equity assets and intangible assets. The Company performs annual validation of the assumed useful economic life of its assets, based on current estimates.

Comparability of financial statements and changes in accounting policies

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting practices applied in preparing this separate financial statement, the Management Board's professional judgment concerning the Company's accounting practices as well as the main sources of uncertainty in estimations are in all material aspects consistent with the practices applied in preparing the Separate Financial Statement of CD PROJEKT S.A. for 2017, except for changes in accounting policies and presentation-related adjustments described below.

Presentation changes

Discount rate (%) 2.73 3.25
Projected inflation rate (%) 2.73 3.25
Employee turnover rate (%) – adjusted for age 8.4% at age 32 8.2% at age 31
Projected annual rate of salary growth (%) 5% 2.5%
Mortality rates published by the Central Statistical Office (year of estimation) 2017 2016
Likelihood of disability during the fiscal year 0.1% 0.1%

Statistical methods were employed by an actuary to construct and calibrate a mobility model for Company employees, based on the Multiple Decrement paradigm. The model was calibrated using historical data supplied by the Company. Based on publicly available statistical data and the actuary's own analysis, the mobility coefficient was assumed to decrease with age. The valuation model is highly sensitive to changes in mobility coefficients and should therefore be subject to frequent verifications and updates.

Note 43. Equity management

The main goal of equity management at the Company is to retain a good credit rating and safe capital indicators, facilitating Company operations, enabling implementation of future development and publishing plans, and increasing shareholder value.

The Company actively manages its equity structure, resulting in changes which reflect changing economic conditions. In order to retain or adjust said structure, the Company may pay out dividends to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors its capital status by applying a leverage ratio which is calculated as the ratio of net borrowing versus total equity increased by net borrowing. As of 31 December 2018 the value of cash assets held by the Company is in excess of its sum of trade liabilities and other liabilities. Consequently, the Company reports a positive cash balance.

Note 44. Employee share programs

2016-2021 incentive program

On 24 May 2016 the General Meeting of Shareholders voted to institute a new incentive program covering the years 2016-2021. According to the program's conditions, a maximum of 6 000 000 entitlements may be granted. Implementation of the program may be carried out by issuing and assigning series B subscription warrants, entitling holders to claim Company shares issued as a conditional increase in the Company share capital, or by presenting entitled parties with an offer to buy existing shares which the Company will have previously bought back on the open market. In either case, implementation of the program is contingent upon meeting specific result goals (80% of entitlements) and market goals (20% of entitlements), in addition to a loyalty criterion which applies to each entitled party until such time as the attainment of either goal is officially declared.

In conjunction with assignment of Series B subscription warrants, the Company is also discretionarily empowered to present each entitled party with an offer to repurchase said warrants, in part or in whole, for redemption.

As of the balance sheet date, a total of 5 625 000 entitlements have been granted under the incentive program. This corresponds to a conditional increase in the Company share capital by not more than 6 000 thousand PLN, representing 6.24% of the current share capital of the Company.

Entitlements granted on 05.07.2016 32% 16% 39% 2.5%

Grant date

In 2018 the Company issued grants of eligibility in a single batch. The fair value of assigned entitlements was calculated on the corresponding grant date using modern financial engineering methods and numerical algorithms by a licensed actuary entered in the register of actuaries maintained by the Financial Supervision Authority (cf. above table).

Classification of estimation conditions

The condition associated with changes in the Company stock price vs. changes in the value of the WIG index and the condition specifying that on the day of exercise the market price must be above the acquisition price are considered market conditions. Conditions related to increases in net profits are considered non-market conditions. Formal terms (e.g. correct and timely filing of the relevant documentation), loyalty criteria and any other terms not related to share price are also treated as non-market conditions, as is the requirement of survival until the exercise date and other similar stipulations.

Stock volume on grant date

As of 31 December 2018 the Company stock volume was 96 120 000 shares.

Status of the program

As of 31 December 2018 the 2016-2021 incentive program remains in force.

Note 45. Transactions with affiliates

Conditions governing transactions with affiliates

Intragroup transactions are conducted at market prices on the basis of the so-called arm's length principle. The principle stipulates that transactions between affiliated entities should be carried out under conditions similar to those which would otherwise apply to transactions carried out by unaffiliated entities.

The prices of goods and services exchanged within the Group are estimated in accordance with OECD guidelines and national legislation. Transfer method selection is preceded by a thorough analysis of each transaction, which includes, among others, the assignment of responsibilities to each party, the assets involved and the corresponding allocation of risks and costs. In each case, the method regarded as most appropriate for the given transaction type is applied so that transactions between member companies of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group are carried out under conditions approximating those which unaffiliated entities could be expected to agree upon. The Company respects the stipulations of the Corporate Income Tax Act regarding transfer prices by submitting the required tax forms.

Note 49. Activated borrowing costs

Not applicable.

Note 50. Fiscal settlements

Fiscal settlements and other areas of activity governed by legal regulations (such as import duties or currency exchange) may be subject to audits by administrative bodies authorized to impose high penalties and sanctions. The lack of entrenched legal regulations in Poland leads to numerous ambiguities and inconsistencies in this regard. Interpretation of existing tax law frequently varies from state organ to state organ as well as between state organs and business entities, giving rise to areas of uncertainty and conflict. These conditions elevate tax risks in Poland beyond the level encountered in states with more developed fiscal systems.

As a rule, fiscal settlements may be subject to state audits within five years following the end of the calendar year in which tax payment was due.

On 15 July 2016 the Tax Code was amended to reflect the stipulations of the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). The goal of GAAR is to discourage creation and exploitation of fictitious legal structures which serve primarily as a means of avoiding taxation. GAAR is applicable to transactions carried out following its introduction as well as to preceding transactions, if such transactions continued to generate tax benefits on the date of introduction of GAAR. Implementation of the abovementioned rules enables Polish tax authorities to question legal agreements concluded by taxable entities, such as restructuring and reorganization of the Capital Group, as well as – in certain instances – refuse to issue binding interpretations securing fiscal settlements.

R&D tax relief and Research and Development Center status

Following fulfillment of the criteria specified in Art. 17 of the Act of 30 May 2008 on certain forms of support for innovative activities (unified text: Journal of Laws 2018, item 141, as amended), The Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology conferred upon the Company the status of a Research and Development Center (decision no. 4/CBR/18 issued on 19 June 2018). This status enables the Company to make broader use of R&D tax relief as specified in the Corporate Income Tax Act of 15 February 1992 (unified text: JL 2018, item 1036, as amended).

Note 51. Events following the balance sheet date
