To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hagar hf.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hagar hf. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 28 February 2015, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The Board of Directors and CEO's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of Hagar hf. as at 28 February 2015 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Report on the Board of Directors and the CEO report

Pursuant to the legal requirement under Article 104, Paragraph 2 of the Icelandic Financial Statement Act No. 3/2006, we confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the report of the Board of Directors and the CEO accompanying the consolidated financial statements includes the information required by the Financial Statement Act if not disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Reporting entity

Hagar hf. (the "Company") is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland. The address of the Company's registered office is Hagasmári 1, Kópavogur, Iceland. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 28 February 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities". The main activity of the Group is retail.

2. Basis of preparation

a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU.

The Company's Board of Directors approved the financial statements on 12 May 2015.

b. Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

c. Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Icelandic krona (ISK), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in Icelandic krona has been rounded to the nearest million.

d. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

  • Note 12 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units
  • Note 20 – provision and contingencies

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

a. Basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Notes, contd.:

3. Significant accounting policies, contd.:

a. Basis of consolidation, contd.;

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

b. Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. Foreign currency differences on purchases of goods for resale is recognised in the line item "cost of goods sold".

c. Financial instruments

(i) Financial assets

Trade and other receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held at bank, at hand, market securities and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(iii) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(iv) Repurchase of share capital (treasury shares)

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is net of any tax effects, and is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is included or deducted from share premium.

Notes, contd.:

3. Significant accounting policies, contd.:

d. Operating assets

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of operating assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of operating assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of operating assets.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of operating assets are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of operating assets and are recognised net within "other operating income" in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of operating assets is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of operating assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of operating assets. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Real estate ... 20-50 years
Fixtures and equipment ... 3-14 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

e. Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary at the day of acquisition.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

3. Significant accounting policies, contd.:

e. Intangible assets, contd.:

(ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iv) Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Software 5-12 years
Lease rights 10-15 years

f. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

g. Impairment

(i) Financial assets (including receivables)

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Notes, contd.:

3. Significant accounting policies, contd.:

g. Impairment, contd.:

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit"). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

h. Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the period which services are rendered by employees.

i. Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

j. Revenue

Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Services / other income

Revenue from services rendered is recognised based on the terms of the contracts and is recognised when the service is provided.

3. Significant accounting policies, contd.:

k. Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, on straight-line basis, over the term of the lease.

I. Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and foreign currency gains. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, impairment losses recognised on financial asset and foreign currency losses. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses, except for gain or losses on purchases of goods, are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or loss position.

m. Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

n. Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which could be issued.

o. Segment reporting

The Group does not present business nor geographical segments as it has only similar retail operation in

p. Changes in accounting policies

The Group has adopted all new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards as they have been endorsed by the EU, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2014. The adoption does not have any effect on the Group's financial statements.

4. Determination of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

a. Operating assets

The fair value of operating assets recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of equipment, fixtures and machinery is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.

b. Intangible assets

The fair value of intangible assets is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the assets.

c. Inventories

The fair value of inventories is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.

d. Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

e. None derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Impairment tests

Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortised but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of cash-generating units according to the level at which management monitors that goodwill.

Recoverable amounts for cash-generating units are based on the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Recoverable amounts are based on value in use.

Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the 5-year business plan. The anticipated annual nominal revenue growth included in the cash flow projections was from 3.0% up to 4.5% for the years 2015/16 to 2019/20 (2013/14: 2.2% up to 3.9%). The forecasts are extrapolated beyond five years based on estimated long-term average growth rates of 3.0% (2013/14: 3.0%).

An after-tax discount rate of 11.1% (2013/14: 11.7%) was applied in determining the recoverable amount of the units. The discount rate was estimated based on an industry average weighted cost of capital, which was based on debt leveraging of average 17.7% (2013/14: 26.5%) at a market interest rate of 7.0% (2013/14: 7.6%). These discount rates are derived from the Group's post-tax weighted average cost of capital as adjusted for the specific risks related to each cash-generating unit.

16. Equity, contd.:

Share premium

Share premium represents excess of payment above nominal value (ISK 1 per share) that shareholders have paid for shares sold by the Company. According to the Icelandic Companies Act, 25% of the nominal value of share capital must be held in reserve which can not be paid out as dividend to shareholders.

22. Financial risk management

a. Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk
  • Market risk

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities.

Trade and other receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.

At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Notes 28.2.2015 28.2.2014
Trade receivables and other receivables 14 717 597
Trade receivables - customers credit cards 14 4.271 3.837
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables 4.988 4.434
Cash and cash equivalents 15 3.348 4.143
The maximum exposure to credit risk 8.336 8.577

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

Balance at the beginning of the year 25 40
Changes in provision during the period ( 2) ( 15)
Balance at year end 23 25

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

Liquidity risk

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

28 February 2015

Non-derivative financial instruments Carrying amount Contractual cash flows Less than one year 1 - 2 years 2- 5 years After 5 years
Loans and borrowings ... 4.805 5.558 1.005 945 3.608 0

Trade and other payables 6.375 6.375 6.375 0 0 0
11.363 12.213 7.420 987 3.742 64

28 February 2014

Loans and borrowings ... 6.622 7.032 992 6.040 0 0

Trade and other payables 6.076 6.076 6.076 0 0 0
12.899 13.434 7.107 6.081 132 114

d. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will effect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

d. Market risk, contd.:

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than ISK. The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD) and Pound sterling (GBP).

Exposure to currency risk

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk, based on notional amounts, amounts to ISK 328 million at year end (2013/14: ISK 316 million). A 10 percent weakening of the Icelandic Krona against foreign currencies at 28 February 2015 would have decreased post-tax equity and profit by ISK 26 million (2013/14: ISK -25 million).

(ii) Interest rate risk

96.3% of the Group's borrowings carry variable interest rates (2013/14: 97.0%).

Interest-bearing financial liabilities are as follows at year end: 28.2.2015 28.2.2014
Financial instruments with fixed interest rate
Financial liabilities 183 201
Financial instruments with variable interest rate
Financial liabilities 4.805 6.622

A change of 1% in variable interest rate at the end of the reporting period would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by ISK 38 million (2013/14: ISK 53 million) net of tax.

e. Capital management

The Board of Directors' policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

The Board's policy is to use excess cash generated by the operations to pay dividends, a minimum of 50% of last year's profit. The Company does not intend to buy own shares for now. In recent years the company has repaid interest-bearing borrowings in excess of contractual payments, but has decided to cease excess payments for now. The Company also intends to buy property for the Company's operations, if the price is considered optimal.

23. Fair values

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the balance sheet, are as follows:

28 February 2015 28 February 2014
Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value
Trade and other receivables 4.988 4.988 4.434 4.434
Cash and cash equivalents 3.348 3.348 4.143 4.143
Loans and borrowings (4.988) (4.988) (6.823) (6.823)
Trade and other payables (6.375) (6.375) (6.076) (6.076)
(3.027) (3.027) (4.322) (4.322)
