Investments

The most significant investment activity in 2016 for the Group and the Parent company is the infusion of new private capital, amounting to EUR 1.85 million, and subsequently, the listing of the Parent company on the Nasdaq Baltic Main List at 12 July 2016.

During the reporting period, the Group and the Parent Company have made three significant strategic investments:

  • A convertible (to shares) investment loan of EUR 687 thousand was made to SIA Zinātnes Parks for the purchase of a lease on a 4,51 hectare plot of land in the Riga Airport territory, a partially constructed building, design and financing plans for the development of infrastructure for a high tech industrial park. The Company plans to build a new product accelerator and a ''Fast Track" production facility on this site. The Company owns 24% of the shares in SIA Zinātnes Park.
  • A convertible (to shares) investment loan of EUR 200 thousand was made to SIA Lightspace Technologies, a product development start-up, whose core activity is the development and commercialization of a volumetric 3D imaging display system, with applications in medicine, science and real-time robot controls. Following the restructuring of SIA Lightspace Technologies at 30 December 2016, in 2017 the Company is now a shareholder in SIA Lightspace Technologies with 16.11% of shares.
  • In accordance with a share purchase agreement at 3 October 2016, AS HansaMatrix acquired for EUR 137 thousand an additional 55 shares in SIA EUROLCDS. The first payment of EUR 97 thousand was made in the fourth quarter of 2016. SIA EUROLCDS is a LCD technology development start-up, whose core activity is the development and commercialization of fast shutter and smart glass applications. Following this additional investment, HansaMatrix now owns 16.11% shares in SIA EUROLCDS.

Research and Development

In 2016 the Parent Company with its subsidiary SIA HansaMatrix Innovation and SIA Lightspace Technologies continued implementing a research and development project, supervised by the Centrālā Finanšu un līgumu aģentūra, entitled "Real time 3D volumetric imaging technology development". This project is implemented in cooperation with SIA LEO Pētījumu centrs, and financed by European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). Total budget of the project is EUR 665 046, with reimbursable costs planned at EUR 449 958.

During the reporting period the Parent Company has also implemented a new technology development research project: "Dependence of soldering-related manufacturing defects on the quality of solder" Reimbursable costs of this project amounted to EUR 165 836. AS HansaMatrix engineering personnel were engaged in this projects, with their salaries included in the reimbursable costs.

Risk Assessment

The Group and the Parent company, operating in a highly competitive market, is subject to market risk. The Parent company manages risk with its business development strategy, which foresees the development of a highly automated and technologically developed manufacturing process, operating in diversified market segments with a growth tendency, and the persistent pursuit of new clients. At 31 December 2016 the Parent company was working with 25 regular clients, of which at least 15 have at least 1% share of total turnover, and many have been working with AS HansaMatrix as their manufacturer for over 10 years.

The Group and the Parent company face a credit risk due to the debts of its buyers and clients. The Company has adopted various procedures to mitigate the risk of unrecoverable debts. Most clients use a particular financing instrument, factoring without recourse. In accordance with Note 37 of financial statements, at 31 December 2016 64% of all client debt was insured. Clients, whose transactions for any reason are not or cannot be insured, are given special terms aimed at risk mitigation, for example, shortened payment schedules, advance payments, credit limits and others. Also, client payment history is closely monitored, and if necessary, individual credit limits and terms of payments are set.

The Group and the Parent company are subject to liquidity and cash flow risks. Liquidity is influenced by stocks and the volume of unfinished manufacturing, the amount of credit extended to clients, the volume of receipt of advance payments, suppliers' terms of payment and the volume of working capital available to the Parent company. To mitigate liquidity risk, the Parent company employs financial and operational management procedures. Inventory control is conducted regularly, orders and deliveries from suppliers are reviewed, as is the order and volume of planned manufacturing, in order to speed up the turnover of inventory. Working capital is monitored regularly; this in turn feeds into planning credit and financial instrument availability, volume and repayment schedules.

The Group and the Parent company are subject to exchange rate risks. Financial assets and obligations subject to foreign exchange risk include cash and cash equivalents buyer and client debt, debt to suppliers. The greatest risk to the Group and the Parent company lies with the USD – EUR exchange rate. To mitigate exchange rate risks, the Parent company effectively employs operational exchange rate risk minimization procedures, for example, using pricing policy, regularly adjusting sales prices to reflect exchange rate variations in supply costs, and planning supplies and sales in the main currencies employed – EUR and USD.

The Group and the Parent company are also subject to interest risks from the interbank money market EURIBOR rate changes, mostly regarding the possible increase of the ECB base rate and resulting EURIBOR rate increase for long-term loans using floating rate debt instruments. The sensitivity of the pre-tax profit of the Group and the Parent company to possible changes in the EURIBOR rate is insignificant for example a 1% increase in the EURIBOR rate leads to a less than -5% change in pre-tax profit. At the time of a rate change, the equity is not affected.

Subsequent events

In early 2017 the Group restructured the operational model of the Ogre manufacturing plant. The team of employees of the plant were transferred from the Parent company to the subsidiary SIA Campus Pārogre. The Parent Company AS HansaMatrix will in the future purchase manufacturing services from the subsidiary SIA Campus Pārogre. This change will allow the Group to more precisely define management responsibilities, offer more flexibility in the development of the organization, and to further expand the manufacturing plant in Pārogre.

At 4 January 2017 shareholder SIA MACRO RĪGA sold 56 100 shares of AS HansaMatrix (HMX1R) at a price of EUR 6.85 per share. The seller is deemed an insider under EU legal acts and local securities law and was granted a consent under the Lock-up Agreement (dated 16 May 2016) it had entered into. As a result of the transaction the free float of AS HansaMatrix will increase by 3.07%.

At 10 January 2017 the SIA Lightspace Technologies investment loan was converted to shares. After the conversion of the Company's investment of 200 000 EUR to shares, the Company now holds 17.21% of SIA LightSpace Technologies shares.

At 25 January 2017 the subsidiary SIA HansaMatrix Innovation created a new manufacturing division, and started production of a new product – in optics, including development and limited series production of lenses.

At 16 February 2017 a lease agreement with building rights (for Akmeņu iela 74, Ogre) was signed between AS HansaMatrix and the Ogre local government. The Ogre local government development plan for 2014-2020 and investment plan for 2014-2017 foresees the construction of a manufacturing facility of 8000 – 10000 m2 on the leased site within the Pārogre industrial park.

At 23 February 2017 the President of Latvia Raimonds Vējonis participated in the opening ceremony of new surface mount assembly line at the SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils manufacturing plant. This is the fifth production line for the company. Total project costs were approximately EUR 1 million, of which EUR 380 000 is investment in new equipment, financed using 30% own investment and 70% with a leaseback arrangement from credit institutions.

At 14 March 2017 SIA Lightspace Technologies opened a technology demonstration office in Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, USA.

On 29 March 2017 SIA MACRO RĪGA sold in a public offering 24 971 shares of AS HansaMatrix (HMX1R) at a price of EUR 6.90 per share. The seller is deemed an insider under EU legal acts and local securities law and was granted a consent under the Lock-up Agreement (dated 16 May 2016) it had entered into. As a result of the transaction the free float of AS HansaMatrix will increase by 1.36%. Following this transaction, SIA MACRO RĪGA has repaid EUR 100 000 of its shareholder loan.

Future Development of the Company

In 2017 the Group and Parent company continues to follow its strategic development goals. Sales are expected to increase in 2018, exceeding 20 million, and raising the share of knowledge intensive product development and manufacturing.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Corporate information

AS HansaMatrix (hereinafter – the Parent Company) was registered with the Republic of Latvia Enterprise Register on 30 July 1999 and re-registered with the Republic of Latvia Commercial Register on 27 December 2002 under unified registration number 40003454390. The registered office of the Parent Company is at Akmeņu iela 72, Ogre. The reorganization of the Parent Company was completed on 30 December 2015; as a result, the Parent Company's name and status have been changed from the limited liability company Hanzas Elektronika to the joint stock company HansaMatrix. The HansaMatrix Group (hereinafter – the Group) is a leading Baltic electronic system product developer and manufacturer. Information on the Group's structure and other related party relationships of the Group and the Parent company is provided in Note 15 and Note 34 on related parties disclosures.

The major shareholder of the Parent Company is SIA MACRO RĪGA which owns 64.83% of the Parent Company's shares (in 2015: 82.8%). The sole shareholder of SIA MACRO RĪGA and owner of 64.83% (in 2015: 82.8%) of the parent Company's shares is Ilmārs Osmanis.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 were approved by a decision of the Parent company's Board on 10 April 2017.

The Parent company's shareholders have the power to amend the consolidated and separate financial statements after the issue.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1. Basis of preparation

The financial statements present the consolidated financial position of the HansaMatrix Group (i.e. AS HansaMatrix and its subsidiaries) and the financial position of the AS HansaMatrix as a separate entity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, unless stated otherwise in the accounting policies described below.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros (EUR). The consolidated financial statements cover the period 1 January 2016 through 31 December 2016.

2.2. Basis of consolidation (the Group)

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of AS HansaMatrix and entities controlled by the Parent company (its subsidiaries) as at 31 December 2016. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as for the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Parent Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

The financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements by adding together like items of assets and liabilities as well as income and expense. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2.3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group and the Parent company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

Fair value (cont'd)

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Intangible assets

Intangible non-current assets are stated at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Losses from impairment are recognized where the carrying value of intangible noncurrent assets exceeds their recoverable amount.

After initial recognition, development expenditure is recognized as intangible assets at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Assets are amortized over their expected useful lives. At each reporting date, it is analysed whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. When computer software is an integral element of hardware that cannot operate without that specific software, computer software is treated as property, plant and equipment.

Other intangible assets are comprised of software and licences. Amortization is calculated on straight line basis. Other intangible assets have a useful life of 3 – 5 years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) assets

Intangible assets comprise intellectual property arising from research and development of the Parent Company and the Group in the form of ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) assets. The Parent Company and the Group recognizes and, according to IAS 38, capitalizes the results of development of products, materials, devices, processes and systems derived as a result of targeted projects, which are ODM assets. ODM assets may incorporate tangible elements, such as prototypes of materials or products, samples, devices, systems, and intangible elements, such as project or production documents, documented processes, inventions or innovations which are or are not protected by patents.

The creation of ODM assets is initiated only for a specific identified customer or such several customers, after the expected economic result has been evaluated. This process is accurately managed, accounting for all costs, both costs of direct materials used in project development and the full cost of engineering hours spent, including salaries of engineers plus costs incurred to ensure their work, but excluding administrative expense.

The use of ODM assets brings material benefits through their direct licensing, with the related license fee included in the selling price and the related amortization charge included in production costs, or their use in production process, thereby deriving indirect benefits, reduced production costs, etc.

When recognizing an ODM asset, the Group determines the amortization charge of each ODM asset per one unit of a product associated with the use of the ODM asset and the total number of units of the product by which the accrued value will be fully amortized. Expected amortization period of ODM assets is 3 years. The selling price per unit of the ODM asset included in the price of delivery of the product may be higher than its amortization expense. ODM assets may be applied to a larger quantity of units, as may be necessary for amortization purposes.

ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) assets (cont'd)

In the course of modifying an ODM asset by adapting it to the needs of several customers and various products, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, if physical element of the asset is more significant than intangible element. If the development costs included in the asset are an integral part of the related hardware and the intangible components cannot function on its own, it is treated as property, plant and equipment. Where the costs of materials used in the development of ODM assets are prevailing, after its completion the respective asset is classified as property, plant and equipment.

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research is recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is capitalized if an entity can demonstrate that there is the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset arising from development so that it will be available for use or sale, there is the intention to complete the intangible asset and the ability to use or sell it, that the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits, adequate resources are available to complete the intangible asset and expenditure may be measured reliably during the development of the asset. Other development expenditure is written off.

After initial recognition, development expenditure is recognized as intangible assets at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Assets are amortized over their expected useful lives. At each reporting date, it is analyzed whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value, except for land and buildings that are stated at fair value. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, as follows:

Buildings over 20 to 33 years
Equipment and machinery over 5 to 8 years
Other property, plant and equipment over 3 to 14 years

Depreciation starts when the asset is ready for its intended use. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. To the extent that the Group depreciates separately some parts of property, plant and equipment, it also depreciates separately the remainder of the item. The remainder consists of the parts that are individually insignificant. The depreciation for the remainder is determined using approximation techniques to faithfully represent its useful life.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing the 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 an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the cost of sales caption.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the item is derecognized.

The Group revalue real estate – land and buildings.

Expenses related to leasehold improvements are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lease period on a straight-line basis.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and is stated at historical cost. This includes the cost of construction and other direct expenses. Construction in progress is not depreciated as long as the respective assets are not completed and available for use.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment

Revaluations have been made with sufficient regularity (not less frequently than every 5 years) to ensure that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment items subject to valuation does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of reporting period. Real estate (land and buildings) is revalued. The revaluation is performed by certified valuators.

Increase in the carrying amount arising on revaluation net of deferred tax is credited to the 'Other comprehensive income' as "Property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve" in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in 'Other comprehensive income' and debited against the revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the current year's Statement of Profit or Loss. Any gross carrying amounts and accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after the revaluation equals its revalued amount. Property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve is decreased over the useful life of the asset. Revaluation reserve cannot be distributed in dividends, used for indemnity, reinvested in other reserves, or used for other purposes.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates (Parent company)

Investments in subsidiaries (i.e. where the Parent company holds more than 50% interest of the share capital or otherwise controls the company) and associates (i.e. an entity over which the Parent company has significant influence without control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee) are recognised at cost according to IAS 27. Following initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of investments are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date. The Parent company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the subsidiary or associate and its carrying value, then, recognises the loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

Dividends received from subsidiaries and associates are recognised in statement of comprehensive income when the Parent company's right to receive the dividend is established.

The considerations made in determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

Investment in associates (Group)

The Group's investments in its associates are accounted for using equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Group's share in the associates is recognized in the Statement of comprehensive income.

The Group's share of the results of operations of associate is reflected in the statement of comprehensive income. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, then recognises the loss as 'Loss from investment in an associate' in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are recognized according to IAS 39. Investments in other entities where the Parent Company holds less than 20% of the share capital are classified as financial assets. After the initial recognition, the financial assets subsequently are measured at cost less any impairment loss, if the financial assets have no active market.

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group and the Parent company determine the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates the designation at each financial year end.

Financial assets (cont'd)

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date when the Group and the Parent company commit to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

The carrying values of investments are reviewed for impairment at each financial year-end. The Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the company and its carrying value, then, recognizes the loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

Loans and borrowings

Loans and borrowings are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as financial income or financial expense.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when recovery is deemed impossible.

Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Factoring

Factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable. Proceeds received in accordance with factoring agreements are recognized as prepayments from customers when the Group or the Parent Company remains exposed to the credit risk associated with the respective debtor. When the credit risk remains with the contracting party, the proceeds are directly netted against respective debtor balance.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The statement cash flows has been prepared according to the indirect method by making adjustments to reconcile operating profit with cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

  • raw materials – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis;

  • finished goods and work in progress – cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value is disclosed at the purchase (production) cost less allowances made.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group and the Parent Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group and the Parent Company expect some or all of provisions to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Leases

Finance leases which transfer to the Group and the Parent Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the principal lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The commitments undertaken by the Group and the Parent Company with respect to operating lease contracts are recorded as off-balance sheet liabilities.

Grants

Grants received from the government and international organisations are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.

Grants received from the government and international organizations for the purchase, development or construction of noncurrent assets are initially recognized as deferred income and taken to the profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the relevant assets.

Other government grants are recognized as income on a systematic basis over the period when the Group and the Parent Company expense the costs that the grants compensate. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group and the Parent Company with no future related costs is recognized as income of the period in which it becomes receivable.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Parent Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, less value added tax and sales-related discounts. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.

Rendering of services

The Group and the Parent Company basically provides manufacturing services. Revenue is recognized in the period when the services are rendered.

Revenue (cont'd)

Interest

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest bearing financial assets classified as available for sale, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in financial income in the statement of comprehensive income.

Segments

Reportable segments are operating segments or their aggregation which meet certain criteria. Operating segments are units of the Group, on which separate financial information is available, which is regularly assessed for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The Group and the Parent Company have one business segment, which is manufacturing services.

Corporate income tax

Corporate income tax includes current and deferred taxes. Current corporate income tax is applied at the rate of 15% on taxable income generated during the taxation period.

Deferred corporate income tax arising from temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of items in the tax returns and these financial statements is calculated using the liability method. The deferred corporate income tax asset and liability are determined on the basis of the tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse.

The principal temporary timing differences arise from differing rates of accounting and tax amortization and depreciation on non-current assets, the treatment of temporary non-taxable provisions and reserves, as well as temporary difference in securities in excess of set limits and tax losses carried forward for the subsequent years.

Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of the Group is the euro (EUR), the monetary unit of the Republic of Latvia. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the euro at the euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the euro applying the euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank at the last day of the reporting year. The differences arising on settlements of transactions or on reporting foreign currency transactions at rates different from those at which these transactions have originally been recorded are netted in the statement of comprehensive income accounts.

Related parties

The parties are considered related when one party has a possibility to control the other one or has significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties of the Parent company are associates and shareholders who could control or who have significant influence over the Parent company in accepting operating business decisions, key management personnel of the Parent company including members of Supervisory body – Audit committee and close family members of any above-mentioned persons, as well as entities over which those persons have a control or significant influence. Related parties of the Group does not include subsidiaries.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit after taxation for the year by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The average number of shares in issue during the year is weighted to take into account the timing of the issue of new shares.

Subsequent events

Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group's and Parent company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of judgement used in the preparation of the financial statements relate to capitalization of development costs. Judgements and estimates include depreciation, allowances for doubtful receivables and inventories, and impairment evaluation. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The following are the critical judgments and key estimates concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty which exist at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the next reporting period:

Carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment

The Group's management reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and assesses whether any indications exist that the assets' recoverable amounts are lower than their carrying amounts. The Group's management calculates and records an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment based on the estimates related to the expected future use, planned disposal or sale of the assets. Taking into consideration the Group's planned level of activities and the estimated market value of the assets, the Group's management considers that no significant adjustments to the carrying values of property, plant and equipment are necessary (Note 14).

Recoverability of deferred tax asset

The Group assesses the extent of taxable profits during the period of utilization of tax losses. At each reporting date, the Group's management analyses the recoverability of deferred tax and reduces the deferred tax asset if it is no longer probable that during the period of utilization of tax losses future taxable profits will be available against which unused tax losses can be utilize (Note 10).

Net realizable value of inventories

The Group's management evaluates the net realizable value of inventories based upon the expected sales prices and selling costs and assesses the physical condition of inventories during the annual stock count. If the net realizable value of inventories is lower than the cost of inventories, an allowance is recorded. The Group's management has evaluated the net realizable value of inventories and considers that it is not necessary to make an additional significant allowance as at 31 December 2016 (Note 18).

Allowances for doubtful and bad receivables

The Company's management evaluates the carrying amounts of receivables and assesses their recoverability, making an allowance for doubtful and bad receivables, if necessary. The Company's management has evaluated the receivables and considers that it is not necessary to make an additional significant allowance as at 31 December 2016 (Note 19).

Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Parent company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. Such reversal is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group and the Parent company first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group and the Parent company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.

Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income (Note 15 and Note 16).

2.5. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

The accounting policies are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's and the Parent company's annual financial statement for the previous periods, except the following new and amended IFRSs and IFRICs which have been adopted by the Group and the Parent company as of 1 January 2016:

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements: Disclosure Initiative

The amendments aim at clarifying IAS 1 to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgment in presenting their financial reports. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Management has not made use of this amendment.

Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible assets: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and provides additional guidance on how the depreciation or amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets should be calculated. It is clarified that a revenue-based method is not considered to be an appropriate manifestation of consumption. Management has not made use of this assessment.

Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Bearer plants are now within the scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and are subject to all of the requirements therein. The implementation of these amendments had no effect on the financial statements of the Group and the Parent company.

Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015. The amendment addresses accounting for the employee contributions to a defined benefit plan. The objective of the amendment is to simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. The Group does not have any plans that fall within the scope of this amendment.

Amendments to IAS 27 Equity method in separate financial statements

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendments reinstate the equity method as an accounting option for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in an entity's separate financial statements. Management has not made use of this amendment.

Amendment to IFRS 11 Joint arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. IFRS 11 addresses the accounting for interests in joint ventures and joint operations. The amendment adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business in accordance with IFRS and specifies the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions. The Group had no transactions in scope of this amendment.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 - Investment Entities: Applying the consolidation exception

The amendments address three issues arising in practice in the application of the investment entities consolidation exception. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendments clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. Also, the amendments clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. Finally, the amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures allow the investor, when applying the equity method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. The Group had no transactions in scope of this amendment.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010 – 2012 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015. None of these had an effect on the Group's and Parent company's financial statements IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IFRS 8 Operating Segments; IFRS 13 Fair value Measurement; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment;

2.5. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (cont'd)

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures; IAS 38 Intangible Assets.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 – 2014 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. None of these had an effect on the Group's and Parent company's financial statements: IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation; IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures; IAS 19 Employee Benefits; IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not applied the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued as of the date of authorization of these financial statements for issue, but which are not yet effective:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 and introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.

Impact

Based on preliminary assessment made by the Management, implementation of the standard is expect to have limited or no impact because the Group and Parent company has only the type of financial instruments for which classification and measurement is not expected to change, mainly trade receivables and payables, issued loans and bank loans taken. Considering that historically there have been very rare cases of impairments of receivables transferring from incurred credit loss model to expected credit loss model is considered to have limited or no impact to the Group's and Parent company's financial statements. Implementation of the standard can have an effect on convertible loans, more detailed assessment will be made in 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer, regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue; information about performance obligations; changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates.

Impact

The Group and Parent company plans to adopt the standard for the financial year beginning as of 1 January 2018 retrospectively, i.e. the comparable period will be presented in accordance with IFRS 15.

Currently, it is expected that changes in the total amount of revenue to be recognized for a customer contract, as well as timing of revenue recognition, will be minimal. Based on the preliminary analyses performed, the Group and Parent company does not expect significant impacts on its Consolidated and Parent's Separate Financial Statements as the Group and Parent company does not have long-term contracts with multi-element arrangements, no take-or-pay agreements, no sales incentives are provided, no contract costs are generally incurred or upfront payments made (excluding ODM assets), contract modifications are rare etc. Detailed analysis on implementation of the standard will be made in 2017.

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Clarifications) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, once endorsed by the EU).

The objective of the Clarifications is to clarify the IASB's intentions when developing the requirements in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, particularly the accounting of identifying performance obligations amending the wording of the "separately identifiable" principle, of principal versus agent considerations including the assessment of whether an entity is a principal or an agent as well as applications of control principle and of licensing providing additional guidance for accounting of intellectual property and royalties. The Clarifications also provide additional practical expedients for entities that either apply IFRS 15 fully retrospectively or that elect to apply the modified retrospective approach. Detailed analysis on implementation of IFRS 15 and its clarifications will be made in 2017.

2.5. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (cont'd)

IFRS 16 Leases (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019, once endorsed by the EU) IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 and specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged.

Impact

Based on preliminary assessment made by the Management, implementation of the standard is expect to have an effect on the Group's and Parent's financial statements because the Group and Parent has a number of lease agreements signed (note 36). These lease agreements have currently been classified as operating leases. Upon implementation of IFRS 16, among other considerations, the Group and Parent company will make an assessment on the identified lease assets, non-cancellable lease terms (including the extension and termination options) and lease payments (including fixed and variable payments, termination option penalties etc). It is expected that right of use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position, significantly increasing the total assets. Detailed analysis on implementation of IFRS 16 will be made in 2017 and 2018.

Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure Initiative (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017, once endorsed by the EU)

The amendments improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity's financing activities. Entities are required to disclose changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, for example, by providing reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities. The implementation of these amendments will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group but may result in changes in disclosures.

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses (effective for

financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017, once endorsed by the EU)

The amendments clarify how to account for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share based Payment Transactions (Amendments) (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018, once endorsed by the EU)

The Amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations and for modifications to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. These amendments will not have an impact on the Group or the Parent company.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint

Venture (In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting.)

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business and partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (effective for

financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018, once endorsed by the EU)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The amendments address concerns arising from implementing the new financial instruments Standard, IFRS 9, before implementing the new insurance contracts standard that the Board is developing to replace IFRS 4. The amendments introduce two options for entities issuing insurance contracts: a temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 and an overlay approach, which would permit entities that issue contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to reclassify, from profit or loss to other comprehensive income, some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets. These amendments will not have an impact on the Group or the Parent company.

2.5. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (cont'd)

Amendments to IAS 40: Transfers to Investment Property (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018, once endorsed by the EU)

The Amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The Amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

IFRIC Interpretation 22: Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018, once endorsed by the EU)

The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The Interpretation covers foreign currency transactions when an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or a non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration before the entity recognizes the related asset, expense or income. The Interpretation states that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 – 2016 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 for IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and on or after 1 January 2018 for IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and for IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Earlier application is permitted for IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. These annual improvements have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.

  • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: This improvement deletes the shortterm exemptions regarding disclosures about financial instruments, employee benefits and investment entities, applicable for first time adopters.
  • IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: The amendments clarify 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 venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-by-investment basis, upon initial recognition.
  • IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those of summarized financial information for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, apply to an entity's interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate that is classified as held for sale, as held for distribution, or as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5.

The Group and the parent Company plan to adopt the above mentioned standards and interpretations on their effectiveness date provided they are endorsed by the EU.

4. Cost of sales (cont'd)

* Due to the increased volume of orders, in 2016 production services provided by SIA Quality Jobs were used.

** During the reporting period, a quality-focused research project under the title "Dependence of soldering-related manufacturing defects on the quality of solder" was carried out during the period 1 January 2016 through 30 November 2016; the eligible costs amounted to EUR 165 836. Several AS HansaMatrix engineers with appropriate education and competence were engaged in the project. The eligible costs of the project included remuneration paid to the respective employees and statutory social insurance contributions paid by the employer.

The aim of the research project was to analyze the impact of the application quality of solder paste on the quality of soldering of components, the assessment of the technological solutions of solder paste inspection and their applicability in the production for improving the quality of soldering by introducing a new quality assurance process and adapting the parameters of the existing technological process on the basis of the results obtained from inspecting the solder paste.

The research resulted in an introduction of a new solder paste inspection process within the quality assurance process and led to investments in the solder paste inspection equipment. The research outcome is the conclusion that such a type of solder paste inspection system should also be introduced in other production lines of the Company to minimize the costs related to the elimination of soldering defects, accelerate the production cycle and improve the product quality for the existing and potential customers.

12. Basic and diluted earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net result for the year after taxation attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. The table below presents the income and share data used in the computations of basic earnings per share for the Group:

2016 2015

Net profit attributable to shareholders 551 197 1 082 397

Earnings per share (EUR): 0.33 0.80

12. Basic and diluted earnings per share (cont'd)

In determining the weighted average number of shares, the Group does not take into account the changes in par value of the shares that do not give rise to additional inflow of resources. As a result, the number of the shares after the changes in their par value equal the number of shares at the end of 2015.

Investmetns in subsidiaries (Parent company)

SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils (hereinafter – the Company) is a subsidiary, established on 1 November 2005 (until 26 April 2016 named SIA Ventspils Elektronikas Fabrika). The Company was established in order to create for AS HansaMatrix a second manufacturing plant at a sufficient distance from the Riga region to have a reasonably separate labour market. The creation of a second manufacturing plant was necessary so that, as the company develops, the size of the labour force at the first manufacturing plant in Pārogre would not exceed 200, which is considered to be the top limit for a flexible and wellmanaged production organization.

Currently the Ventspils manufacturing plant ensures integrated production services mostly for clients who require box build processes. The business model is to sell production services to the parent company, who manages the added value chain from raw materials and component sourcing to selling the final product to the client.

A convertible zero interest investment loan of EUR 200 000 was issued to SIA Lightspace Technologies for product development in 3D imaging technologies. Investment loans on similar terms were also made by investment funds Imprimature Seed, Imprimature Venture Fund, BaltCap Jeremie, bringing the total investment to EUR 1 075 000.

Immediately following the reporting period – on 10 January 2017 the conversion of all 4 investment loans to shares was registered. Thereafter, AS HansaMatrix participation in SIA Lightspace Technologies grew to 866 shares representing 17,22% of the share capital.

The purpose of the investment in SIA Lightspace Technologies is the development of optically deep 3D image display technology, and based on this technology, innovative product development. One of Lightspace Technologies assets is the 100% owned Delaware registered SIA Lightspace Technologies, Inc., which in turn has approximately 10 patents on volumetric multi-planar 3D displays, which secures the intellectual property rights for this innovation in most of the world, including the USA, Europe, China, Korea and other areas.

Investing in new products is a part of AS HansaMatrix development strategy, which envisions equity investments in companies which have a synergy with AS HansaMatrix integrated manufacturing service and with SIA HansaMatrix Innovation engineering and knowledge resources, and which can lead to new, high value-added product manufacturing in a 3 to 5 year time-line.

Shortly after the reporting period – in 10 January 2017 a 4 investor loans were covered to company's equity shares; after the deal AS HansaMatrix share in SIA Lightspace Technologies increased to 866 shares or 17.22% of the share capital (see Note 40).

Evaluation of the recoverability of investment in SIA EUROLCDS and SIA Lightspace Technologies:

AS HansaMatrix makes a consolidated assessment of the recoverability of investment in both new product companies SIA EUROLCDS and SIA Lightspace Technologies because SIA EUROLCDS serves as the industrial manufacturing facility for products developed by SIA Lightspace Technologies, and it is expected that both companies will serve as segments in one supply chain.

According to the preliminary data, SIA EUROLCDS equity at the end of the reporting period was EUR 2 387 259. The company closed the reporting period with a loss of EUR 811 582. AS HansaMatrix's share in the SIA EUROLCDS equity was EUR 384 587, but the carrying amount of the investment was EUR 645 403.

According to the preliminary data, SIA Lightspace Technologies' equity at the end of the reporting was EUR 768 362. The company closed the period with a loss of EUR 144 529. AS HansaMatrix's investment in the equity of SIA Lightspace Technologies was EUR 122 938, the carrying amount of the investment was EUR 451.

The following assumptions are used by AS HansaMatrix in assessing the recoverability of these investments: (1) both companies are in their start-up phase; (2) both companies have an increasing turnover; (3) SIA EUROLCDS will serve as the manufacturer of SIA Lightspace Techologies display products, i.e. will serve as part of the supply chain.

SIA Lightspace Technologies business plan contains a cash flow projection whose net present value with a weighted average cost of capital value (WACC) of 15% produces a present value of EUR 4,43 million. Additionally, by manufacturing SIA Lightspace products, AS HansaMatrix will have an additional EBITDA turnover, whose present value is EUR 3.5 million. With AS HansaMatrix ownership of 17.2% of the share capital of SIA Lightspace Technologies, the combined present value is EUR 4.25 million.

In addition, SIA Lightspace Technologies has signed a contract with one of the leading Baltic investment banks for a valuation of the company and assistance in attracting investors for the next phase. According to the assessment of the investment bank, SIA Lightspace Technologies' weighted average post-money present value exceeds the business plan projections by a factor of 3.

According to the preliminary data, the share capital of both companies as at 31 December 2016 was EUR 507 525, which is slightly below the combined carrying amount of EUR 645 854. The present value of the projected turnover, which has been confirmed by the analysis made by the investment bank, is approximately EUR 4 250 000, which greatly exceeds the carrying amount.

As a result of this assessment, AS HansaMatrix considers that no impairment loss should be recognized in relation to the investments as at 31 December 2016, because there is no doubt about the recoverability of the investment at the net carrying amount, for both the investment value, and the value of the convertible loan.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in the market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's non-current borrowings with floating interest rates.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk mainly through its current and non-current borrowings. The average interest rate payable on the Group's borrowings is disclosed in Note 25.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax (through the impact on mainly EURIBOR floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the equity, except for the effect on the current year result.

Interest rate sensitivity for the Group may be specified as follows:

Effect on profit before tax

2016 +0.5% 23 693
2015 27 131
2016 +1.0% 47 387
2016 54 263
2016 -0.5% -23 693
2015 -27 131

37. Financial risk management (cont'd)

Liquidity risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by arranging an adequate amount of committed credit facilities with banks, planning of terms of payment of trade payables, developing and analysing future cash flows comprising both the existing and planned loans and interest on such loans.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities as at 31 December 2016 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The Group controls liquidity by calculating EBITDA – earnings before interest, tax and depreciation/amortization.

37. Financial risk management (cont'd)

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk through its trade receivables and cash. The Group manages its credit risk by continuously assessing the credit history of customers and assigning trade credit limits and terms on an individual basis. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group's exposure to bad debts is minimized. Moreover, the Group enters into insured factoring contracts to minimize this risk. The Group's counterparties in money transactions are local financial institutions.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that the Group maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and increase the shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions.

From time to time, the management controls capital using the equity/assets ratio as following:

Group 31.12.2016 31.12.2015
EUR EUR
Equity 5 481 456 3 336 386
Total assets 15 780 022 14 494 963

Equity 5 422 355 3 286 911
Total assets 14 368 213 13 510 758
Equity to total assets 38% 24%

During the reporting period, both the equity level and the equity/assets ratio grew significantly. The existing equity level is sufficient for smooth operations of the Company and meets bank covenants with a good margin. It is also sufficient to obtain new bank loans, if necessary.

38. Fair value

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities represent the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets and liabilities at 31 December 2016.

Assets measured at fair value are revalued property, plant and equipment (Note 14), which are revalued on non-recurring basis (once every five years) and would be classified under Level 3.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
  • the fair value of the loans and borrowings has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates, which are based on Level 2 measurement. No material difference between book value and fair value has been recognized.

39. Going concern

As at 31 December 2016, the Group's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by EUR 461 435. The Group's working capital ensures at least 4 inventory cycles in a 12-month period which guarantees sufficient liquidity for meeting its current liabilities.

Based on a set of assumptions, the Group's management has prepared the 2017 budget and cash flow projection that ensure adequate resources for financing the Group's operating activities as well as the expected investment flows. The key assumptions are as follows:

  • No significant changes occur either in the business environment or the market both in the EU and Latvia;
  • The Group continues increasing its business volume; in 2018, its net turnover exceeds EUR 20 million;
  • The Group continues investing in property, plant and equipment by increasing production capacity and process automation;
  • The Group continues attracting financing from banks at least at the loan and lease amortization level:
    • o For investments in property, plant and equipment, medium-term loans and leases are used;
    • o As in previous 5 years, the factoring agreement is extended for the current period of one year;
    • o In 2018, the working capital is increased by additional loan facilities of EUR 200 thousand or by using some other financial instrument;

39. Going concern (cont'd)

  • The Group continues investing in strategic development projects and for financing the investments, the Group uses the repayments of the loan issued to the shareholder.
  • The shareholder SIA MACRO RĪGA continues repaying the loan by a 50% loan repayment (Note 34) in 2017.

Future developments in the business environment may differ from the forecasts of the Group's management.

40. Subsequent events

In early 2017 the Group restructured the operational model of the Ogre manufacturing plant. The team of employees of the plant were transferred from the Parent Company to the subsidiary SIA Campus Pārogre. The Parent Company AS HansaMatrix will in the future purchase manufacturing services from the subsidiary SIA Campus Pārogre. This change will allow the Group to more precisely define management responsibilities, offer more flexibility in the development of the organization, and to further expand the manufacturing plant in Pārogre.

At 4 January 2017 shareholder SIA MACRO RĪGA sold 56 100 shares of AS HansaMatrix (HMX1R) at a price of EUR 6.85 per share. The seller is deemed an insider under EU legal acts and local securities law and was granted a consent under the Lock-up Agreement (dated 16 May 2016) it had entered into. As a result of the transaction the free float of AS HansaMatrix has increased by 3.07%.

At 10 January 2017 the SIA Lightspace Technologies investment loan was converted to shares. After the conversion of the Company's investment of EUR 200 000 to shares, the Company now holds 17.21% of SIA Lightspace Technologies shares.

At 25 January 2017 the subsidiary SIA HansaMatrix Innovation created a new manufacturing division, and started production of a new product – in optics, including the development and limited series production of lenses.

At 16 February 2017 a lease agreement with building rights (for Akmeņu street 74, Ogre) was signed between AS HansaMatrix and the Ogre local government. The Ogre local government development plan for the years 2014-2020 and investment plan for the years 2014-2017 foresees the construction of a manufacturing facility of 8 000 m2 to 10 000 m2 on the leased site within the Pārogre Industrial Park.

At 23 February 2017 the President of Latvia Raimonds Vējonis participated in the opening ceremony of a new surface mount assembly line at the SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils manufacturing plant. This is the fifth production line for the company. Total project costs were approximately EUR 1 million, of which EUR 380 000 is investment in new equipment, financed using 30% own investment and 70% with a leaseback arrangement from the bank.

At 14 March 2017 Lightspace Technologies opened a technology demonstration office in Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, USA.

The Parent company has provided a letter of financial support to SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils dated 24 March 2017 to the extent that is required for SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils to meet its obligations as they fall due 12 months after the issuance of SIA HansaMatrix Ventspils financial statements.

At 29 March 2017 SIA MACRO RĪGA sold in a public offering 24 971 shares of AS HansaMatrix (HMX1R) at a price of EUR 6.90 per share. The seller is deemed an insider under EU legal acts and local securities law and was granted a consent under the Lock-up Agreement (dated 16 May 2016) it had entered into. As a result of the transaction the free float of AS HansaMatrix has increased by 1.36%. Following this transaction SIA MACRO RĪGA has repaid EUR 100 thousand of its shareholder loan.
