Interim consolidated statement of changes in equity

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these financial statements.

Notes to the consolidated 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 shares of the Parent Company are listed on Riga Stock Exchange, Latvia.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). Consolidated financial statements are prepared using the historical cost basis, except when described otherwise in the accounting policies below. The financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are prepared separately according to the relevant national legislation applicable in the reporting year.

The monetary unit used in the consolidated financial statements is the euro (EUR). The consolidated financial statements cover the period 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2019.

Amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are based on the accounting records of the Group companies kept in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

3. Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

The accounting policies are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statement for the previous period 2018. The Group has evaluated new and amended IFRSs and IFRICs effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and has applied IFRS 16 standard Leases in relation to the annual period, starting with January 1, 2019.

AS HansaMatrix adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively, using simplified approach. The standard requires to revise the leases signed before 1 January 2019, only allowing for not reassessing the compliance of the contract with the lease definition and not applying the standard to the leases expiring in 2019.

The lessee recognizes in its accounting: (a) assets and liabilities from all lease agreements with a lease term of more than 12 months, except for low value asset leases; and (b) the cost of depreciation of leased assets separately from the cost of the lease liability.

Within the meaning of IFRS 16, a lease can be recognized if there is an identified asset and if the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. First, a lease liability is measured at the present value of all contractual future lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease (or similar borrowing rate). Lease liabilities are recognized as any other liabilities. A right to use asset is recognized under property, plant and equipment or as a separate item under non-current assets. When discounting is used, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019, the asset amount has increased by EUR 1 674 287, current liabilities – by 474 437 EUR and non-current liabilities – by 1 199 850 EUR. In addition in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 12m 2019 fixed asset depreciation increased by 591 522 EUR leased assets depreciation and interest expense increased by 66 087 EUR discounting interest expense. Lease payments in amount of 642 178 EUR are not reflected in the consolidated profit loss statement of 12m 2019, which has positively influenced Company EBITDA.

The Group has not applied and has not evaluated the impact of the application of the 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. The Group plans to adopt these standards and interpretations on their effectiveness dates provided they are endorsed by the EU.

The Management Board of the Company has decided to change the Company's fixed assets depreciation policy with regard to manufacturing equipment and machinery in order to ensure that the residual values of the fixed assets are better matched with the actually observed useful lives and fair values of these fixed assets. The aforementioned changes in fixed asset depreciation policy were applied retrospectively in the financial statements for the year 2019 and have a positive impact on the Company's net profit in 2019 in amount of 345 thEUR.
