MIHAIL MARCU
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of MedLife Group
Dear shareholders,
When it comes to 2020, we refer to a year full of challenges, a tense year, which marked many of us and which changed a lot the normal course of business, as we were used to.
Despite the pandemic context and the health crisis that impacted the entire world, MedLife continued to intensively operate. Being an innovative company, we quickly adapted to the new social context and properly calibrated our operational structure, which helped us to achieve a good performance last year and gradually improve its profitability in line with the strategy of recent years.
The development of the COVID-19 laboratories network in a record time was one of the most important achievements of the group last year. Thereby, MedLife was able to periodically test the medical and support staff, to keep the employees and the patients safe and to maintain functional the network of clinics and hospitals, thus ensuring a qualitative medical act. Moreover, MedLife group focused on helping patients and authorities, by conducting COVID-19 tests and relieving public hospitals by taking over chronic patients. At the same time, the company has run numerous support programs for vulnerable groups of people in the pandemic context.
MedLife was the first company to launch the online consultation platform, digitizing access to services, in order to limit contact between people as much as possible. Through all these measures we have protected first of all our staff and patients. Protection was our priority, and the fact that we acted quickly ensured great safety to patients and doctors. The special triage areas, the new circuits, the endowment of our institutions with sterilization devices, but also the regular testing of the medical staff are already a routine in our activity, a routine that helps us to keep the business healthy and ongoing. In fact, referring to the needs of the patient in a pandemic year, MedLife acted proactively and launched special medical programs, screening programs for chronic diseases, but also programs for COVID patients, all of these helping the society to return to normal more easily.
A very important segment of investment and development in 2020 was the group's research division. The company has conducted numerous research studies on the evolution of the new virus in Romania, managing to play an important role at national level in monitoring the pandemic. Medlife has conducted national premier studies on natural immunization for COVID-19, virus sequencing and the emergence of new strains in our country, but also studies on the dynamics of post-infection and post-vaccine antibodies.
The activity of the M&A department continued last year, even though at a slower pace, MedLife group adding five new companies to the group. Two of them were from the pharma sector - CED Pharma pharmacy chain and Pharmachem pharmaceutical distribution company, thus consolidating PharmaLife pharmacy division and ensuring continuity for the development strategy in this segment. The third acquisition is represented by Veridia Medical Center, with presence in Bucharest, a well-cohesive business that comes to complete the group's business line of clinics. The fourth acquisition is represented by Labor Marior in Bacau which comes to complete the presence of the second brand at national level, while the fifth acquisition, KronDent, strengthens the position of Dent Estet stomatology division at national level.
Looking ahead, for 2021, we will continue to be open and proactive to all that the pandemic brings, but we will also continue our post-COVID development and expansion plans. The priority objective remains the health and safety of our patients, and we will constantly adapt to their current needs. We also want to intensify the activity of the group's research division, to expand the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequencing program, but also to launch new studies to further support the authorities in fighting the pandemic.
From an operational point of view, we aim to consolidate our position on the Romanian market, which we consider very important and with great potential for development, and, depending on the opportunities, we aim to test the market in the region.

COMPANY MANAGEMENT
The Group's management is structured on two pillars. Operational management is carried out by an experienced senior management team, acting below the executive directors of the Group, which is known as the "40+" group of managers. This body includes the functional heads of support departments, business line heads and managers of larger units. The 40+ group meets weekly as a broad management committee with the objective to identify and address emerging risks and opportunities in the business and review actual vs. budget performance. Members of the 40+ group outside Bucharest usually attend by conference call.
The Group manages its business based on an annual budget, agreed on a bottom-up basis with the 40+ group, initially, and subsequently confirmed by the Group's Executive Committee and by the Board of the Directors. The budget includes detailed operational key performance indicators as well as financial targets, represents the Group's operating and financial plan for a financial year, and sets the operational and financial targets at the unit level. Compensation of the members of the 40+ group is heavily linked to the achievement of the budget. Within their units, the managers have substantial autonomy to operate within the agreed budget framework.
Alongside the operational management, the Group implements a medical management system with the primary objective to ensure quality care and the management of medical risks. Medical management at Group level is led by the Group's medical director. Medical managers or coordinators at unit level meet regularly to review patient cases, identify current and


upcoming medical issues, as well as plan medical resources. Each medical unit has a medical coordinator and in the more complex hospital settings, the medical management structure includes a Medical Director, Medical Council and Ethics Council. Conducting new medical procedures or altering existing protocols is usually conditional upon approval of the medical management groups.
PEOPLE AND RESOURCES
The Group services patients through the largest private pool of doctors and nurses in Romania. As of 31 December 2020, the Group collaborated with a total of approximately 3,300 doctors and 2,000 qualified nurses across its business lines, including both employees working exclusively for the Group under individual employment contract and collaborators, providing services as independent contractors. Also, as at December 31, 2020, more than 1,700 full-time employees were operating as support staff and administrative staff.
The type of contractual arrangement between the Group and its medical staff depends on various criteria, such as the professional context or the time that the medical staff can allocate to services provided to the Group. Medical staff under services agreements are seen by the Group as commercial partners, providing services to the Group as independent contractors, in compliance with the applicable legislation.
The Group seeks to provide adequate compensation and incentives to doctors and other medical staff in exchange for quality medical care and commitment to promote the MedLife business model. The usual compensation package offered by the Group to its employees includes fixed remuneration, to which a variable remuneration is added, determined based on a revenue sharing mechanism connected to the number of appointments and consultations. Collaborators are compensated based on the number of appointments and consultations.
The Group does not operate pension plans or long-term incentive schemes.
As for the relationship with colleagues, the Group provides a safe working environment in which employees are treated fairly and with respect, and the differences between employees are accepted. The Group is committed to providing colleagues with the opportunity to excel and reach their full potential and reward them on a merit basis.
The group does not tolerate any discrimination, intimidation or harassment of colleagues or between them. The group encourages clear and open communication with and between colleagues. They can and must promptly express any concerns about any unethical or illegal behavior by presenting these concerns to the competent human resources department within the Group. The Group undertakes to investigate such concerns brought by good faith, maintaining the confidentiality of these steps.
MEDLIFE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND DIRECTIONS
MedLife's strategy focuses on maintaining its leadership position. The Company seeks to grow its portfolio of facilities and services to profitably provide national coverage to the Group's existing and new clients.
MedLife seeks opportunities that provide additional revenue capture and synergies within its existing network and services. The Group will continue to achieve this objective through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions of smaller medical healthcare providers on the Romanian market, but also outside country boarders. At the same time, the Company remains committed to ensuring quality and safe medical treatment to its clients, balancing the medical risks and opportunities with the Group's commercial goals.

Competitive strengths
- The leader of the private healthcare market in Romania and one of the large providers of private healthcare services in Central and Eastern Europe;
- A balanced and robust business model, spanning all key private healthcare segments;
- A business model that generates significant revenue capture opportunities;
- Sales largely from cash-pay and HPP with low dependency on NHIH funding;
- The largest number of HPP clients in Romania;
- Experienced management able to create and handle growth both by organic development and acquisitions;
- Strong financials with an asset-rich balance sheet;
- Access to the financing required for expansion.
Development directions
Organic growth
The Company opened a number of new clinics and other facilities, particularly sampling points for its Laboratories business line. Many of these facilities are believed to still have the capacity to service greater numbers of patients, which should allow for the increase in their revenue and profit contribution, as they reach a higher utilization capacity. Further, the Group continues to optimize the mix of services offered at its other facilities to the specific local market conditions, seeking to improve the revenue and margins of each location. As a result, the continued and accelerated development of these facilities is expected to improve margins as well as deliver further sales growth. The Company often takes advantage of the base facilities resulting from an acquisition to further organically expand the business of the acquired company. For example, in 2016, the Group acquired Diamed Center, which operates a network of laboratories and sampling points, mainly in Bucharest. Based on this acquisition, the Group further developed the second brand of laboratories under the brand "Sfânta Maria", which provides FFS laboratory tests at lower prices than in MedLife branded labs. Further, the Group continued to build on the existing contracts of Diamed Center with the NHIH, which did not result into a significant change in the overall exposure of the Group to NHIH contracts as a percentage of its total sales. As

of 31 December 2020, the Group had approx. 40 sampling points opened under "Sfânta Maria" laboratories brand, thus adding organic growth to its acquisition.
Selective acquisitions and integration of other market players
The Group intends to continue to expand its service offering and geographical presence through strategic acquisitions. The Group's acquisition strategy is to target regional and other businesses that offer complementary geographic or service coverage to the Group's existing portfolio or provide the opportunity to access new healthcare specialties that provide synergy and revenue capture potential to the Group's existing activities. Post-acquisition, the Group generally
rolls-out MedLife specialties and services which are not currently offered or upgrades the services offered by the acquired business to the Group's standards. The Group often re-invests the cash flow of the acquired business, as well as additional resources, in expanding the new subsidiary's business.
The Group's acquisition strategy is based on encouraging the founding shareholders of the acquired business to remain active post-acquisition in the integrated business and also to hold a minority stake in the respective business. Although the Group has also made 100% acquisitions, the Group's management believes that this approach often matches the goals of the sellers and expands the negotiations beyond the topic of price, providing the Group an advantage over strategies focused on the 100% buy-out of targets. Minorities' rights are carefully negotiated to ensure alignment with the Group's overall governance framework.
The Group's acquisition strategy envisages the full integration of the acquired units into the MedLife system, ensuring uniformity of services, branding and other standards across the business. The Group's support functions such as human resource management, financial, marketing, public relations and purchasing are centralized, thus reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies within such functions. The Group pays particular attention to its IT solutions, which are a critical part of increased client service, and seeks to transfer its accumulated know-how to the operation of the acquired business. The Group's 31 announced acquisitions so far provide a clear road map for further acquisitions.

By acquiring clinic and laboratory businesses, the Group is also able to service directly its HPP patients. The margins formerly flowing to NetLife partners servicing the Group's HPP patients in the acquisition target's service area are now captured by the Group directly. NetLife is a network of partner medical units with which the Group has negotiated tariffs for the servicing of its HPP clients.
In pursuit of the expansion strategy, but also vertical integration, during the 12-month period ended on December 31, 2020, the Company announced the following acquisitions: Labor Maricor in Bacau, Matei Basarab Medical Center in Bucharest, Pharmachem Distribution, CED Pharma pharmacy chain and KronDent in Brasov.
The Company maintains an active pipeline of potential acquisition targets and regularly scans the market for opportunities. Benefiting from a leading position and strong brand, the Company is also frequently approached by advisers and principals of potential target companies. As the consolidation of the market accelerates and with additional debt financing available, the Company expects to continue with acquisitions to complement its organic expansion.
Perspectives
The Group expects that its financial results will continue to grow as traffic in its facilities will continue to grow in the postpandemic period and the financial results of the recent acquisitions continue to be consolidated in the financial results of the Group. It expects to continue to consider the acquisition of potential businesses, which would result in an expansion of services in areas where it is present or allow the Group to enter into new geographic areas, both nationally and internationally. The Group is also developing potential organic expansion opportunities in the Hospitals business line, through expansion of existing medical units.

Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail to perform, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications, or lead to financial loss. The management cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks, the Company is able to manage the risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorization and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, including the use of internal control.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group seeks to limit the credit risk with respect to customers by setting credit limits for individual customers and monitoring outstanding receivables.
The Group has established a credit quality review process to provide early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties, including regular analysis of debt service, ageing of receivables, etc. Counterparty limits are established in combination with credit terms. In respect to credit risk arising from the Group's other financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, its exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group limits its credit risk with regard to other financial instruments by only dealing with banks believed to be reputable.
Liquidity Risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The higher risk is represented by funds borrowed in the national currency, because the interest rates are periodically repriced based on index variation.
Lease contracts concluded in the national currency are also exposed due to the above repricing process, as the discount rate in this case is linked to the internal borrowing rates for funds withdrawn in the national currency.
The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
Internal Control
MedLife's overall internal control system is well integrated into the organizational structure and it is carried out by (1) the legal and compliance department for setting internal control standards and monitoring various control measures and (2) internal cost control departments for implementation of control measures.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of 31 December 2020, the Group is not part to any off-balance sheet obligations or arrangements.
Changes in Accounting Policies
To the best of the Company's knowledge, there are no material accounting standards applicable to the Group that will require a prospective change in any of the Group's accounting policies.
Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Financial assets that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, short-term deposits, trade and other receivables. The Group's cash equivalents and short-term deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions with a high credit rating.
Trade receivables are represented net of the allowance for expected credit losses. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base, which consists mainly of both individuals and companies. Around 62% of the total sales are cashbased with remaining being based on issuance of invoices.
The financial condition of these customers in relation to their credit standing is evaluated on an ongoing basis. The Group has also developed certain procedures to assess legal entities as customers prior to signing contracts, aimed at providing preventive and prophylactic health care packages (PPMs) and monitoring their ability to meet the payments during the course of contracts. Also, the Group has established an internal Collection department which actively monitors encashments received from customers.
The gross carrying amounts of financial assets (before credit loss allowances) included in the statement of financial position represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these assets.
The Group has only 20% of its sales during 2020 deriving from the treatment of NHIH insured patients (concentration of credit risk) – reliance on major customers.
At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Company did not consider there to be a significant concentration of credit risk. Please see note 7 – Accounts receivables, for further details regarding credit risks of trade and other receivables and also note 3.17 Trade receivables, for further details of accounting policies used by the Group.

DIVIDENDS POLICY
Shares owned by the Company's shareholders other than the Company bear equal and full rights to dividends.
The Company's financial year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31st. Under the Company Law, dividends may be distributed only if the Company records profit, optionally quarterly on the basis of interim financial statements, and annually, after the settlement adjustment is made in the annual financial statements approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, as under the Romanian law, interim dividends may be distributed. The Company's profit after the profit tax payment will be distributed according to the decision of the general meeting of shareholders. The Company has the obligation to set up reserves and other funds required by the applicable laws.
The Company's general meeting of shareholders is free to decide the distribution of dividends based on the proposal of the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors do not make such proposal, shareholders holding individually or collectively at least 5% of the voting rights may also request to add to the agenda of the shareholders' meeting an item on the distribution of dividends, including the distribution quota. Dividends may be distributed only out of profits determined by law, pro rata with the contribution to the paid-in share capital, optionally quarterly based on interim financial statements and annually, after the settlement adjustment is made in the annual financial statements.
The General Meetings of Shareholders approving the annual financial statements generally establishes also the amount of the gross dividend per share, as well as the payment process. According to the Law no. 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations, the General Meeting of Shareholders approving the distribution of dividends must also set the period during which the dividends will be paid to the entitled shareholders. The beginning of the payment period shall not occur later than 6 months from the date of the meeting. If the General Meeting of Shareholders does not decide on a dividend payment period, the dividends shall be payable within 30 days from the date of publication of the resolution approving the payment of dividends in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part IV. Upon expiry of such period, the Company would be deemed to be in payment default by operation of law.
Dividends may be paid on an optional quarterly basis within the time limit set by the general meeting of shareholders, by adjusting the differences resulting from the distribution of dividends during the year in the annual financial statements. Payment of settlement adjustments is made within 60 days of the date of approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the annual financial statements for the financial year ended. Otherwise, the Company or its shareholders, depending on the outcome of the settlement, owes after this term a penalty interest calculated according to the applicable legal provisions, if the decision of the general meeting of the shareholders approving the financial statements of the concluded financial year did not set a higher
interest rate. In the case of partial dividends being distributed among shareholders during a financial year, the annual financial statements will highlight dividends that are partially attributable and will properly adjust the resulting settlement differences.
Payment of dividends is made only to shareholders registered on the registration date ("data de înregistrare") set by the General Meeting of Shareholders approving the distribution of dividends. The registration date must be set on a date that occurs at least 10 business days after the date of the General Meeting of Shareholders. Romanian law also requires that the payment date set by the General Meeting of Shareholders must not occur later than 15 business days after the registration date, but must occur within the six months period from the date of the General Meeting of Shareholders approving the dividend distribution.
According to the applicable regulations, the Company must publish, before the dividend payment date, a press release which will also be sent to FSA and market operator, specifying at least (i) the value of the dividend per share, (ii) the ex-dividend date, (iii) the date of registration, and (iv) the date of payment of the dividends, as approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders, as well as (i) the method of payment of the dividends and (ii) the identification information of the paying agent.
Any dividends that are not claimed within three years from the date on which their payment becomes due may be retained by the Company.
According to the Company Law, the distribution of dividends from fictitious profits or from sources that cannot be distributed during the financial year on the basis of the interim and annual financial statements, or contrary to the financial statements results, entails the criminal liability of directors, the members of the board of directors, members of the executive board or the supervisory board or the legal representatives of the Company and shall be punished by imprisonment from one year to five years. Furthermore, if the Company registers a loss of its net assets, the share capital must be replenished or reduced before any dividend distribution is made. In addition, if the Company has accumulated losses, it may not pay dividends until the losses are offset.
The Board of Directors is focused on creating value for the Company's shareholders. To sustain the Group's current pace of growth in terms of profitability, the Group needs both internal and external resources. Thus, the Board of Directors, committed to further expand the Group's profitability to the benefit of the shareholders, intends to propose not to distribute dividends to the shareholders for as long as the growth of the Group is comparable to that recorded historically.
In case the Board of Directors will propose the distribution of dividends in the future, certain matters will need to be considered, such as: general business conditions, the Group's financial results, investment requirements as well as contractual and legal restrictions on the payment of dividends or any other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Profits not required for the Company's growth plans or not encumbered by contractual, legal or other restrictions is expected to be paid to the shareholders as dividends, unless it is needed for any other corporate purpose including investments in value creating opportunities.

Overview of the Group's sales streams
The Group's core activities are conducted through six business lines, providing a well-balanced business portfolio that covers all key segments of the private medical services market.
Sales for 2020 financial year amounted to RON 1,077,448,351, higher than the sales amount recorded in 2019 with RON 110,068,044 RON or by 11.4%. This increase is mainly explained by increase in Laboratories business line due to RT-PCR testing performed in the 6 RT-PCR laboratories opened at Group level, and in Hospitals business line due to relieving public hospitals by treating chronic patients, but also due to the impact of the acquisitions completed by the Group in 2019 and 2020.

Business model independent of NHIH funding
The Group's business and revenue model focuses on the spending power of corporations and private individuals on medical services, while the State's contribution through the NHIH represents a complement, not the core revenue of MedLife's activities. In 2020, 80% of the Group's revenue came from corporations and private individuals. During the same period, only 20% of the Group's revenue came from providing services to patients insured by State programs. In 2018 and 2019, the Group's revenue from State insured patients represented 19% of the Group's total sales.

Clinics
The core of the Group's operations is the network of ambulatory clinics throughout Romania. The business line comprises a network of 75 facilities, which offer a wide range of outpatient services covering a broad range of medical specialties. The Group's diagnostic imaging services provided to clients other than hospital inpatients also form part of this business line.

The Group's clinics provide a wide range of services delivered mainly in two formats:
- Hyperclinics, a format pioneered by MedLife in Romania, consisting of large facilities with at least 20 medical offices and surface areas in excess of 1,000 sqm. It is a one-stop-shop for clinical examinations and imaging. This format is designed for larger urban areas, with a population over 175,000 inhabitants. Hyperclinics would usually include a broad range of imaging services on site including radiology, bone density – DEXA, CT, MRI 3T, 2D-4D ultrasounds and Mammography; in the case of new openings, such services may be included in the hyperclinics' offering gradually. Hyperclinic locations also host the services of other business lines, such as pharmacies or sampling points for laboratories. As of 31 December 2020, the Group operated 22 hyperclinics throughout Romania.
- Clinics, offering a range of treatments from general practitioner services to specialists, are aimed at servicing the core needs of the Group's HPP patients and FFS clients. The Group's clinics typically have between 5 and 12 medical offices, although smaller satellite clinics are in operation to address specific market situations. Clinics are designed for smaller cities or to serve specific concentrations of patients. Clinics, with limited capacity and generally limited imaging services, act as feeder networks for the more specialized services located in the hyperclinics. Certain clinics are fully specialized, such as Mindcare and the Obor and Paediatrics hospitals, which also have dedicated outpatient units. As of 31 December 2020, the Group operated 52 clinics throughout Romania and 1 clinic in Budapest, Hungary. Matei Basarab Medical Center in Bucharest will be included in the network starting with 2021.

Analysis of clinics business line 2020 evolution
The sales of the Clinics business line increased in 2020 with RON 12,454,264 or by 4.2%, from RON 295,465,223 in 2019 to RON 307,919,487 in 2020. The increase was driven by an increase of 6.9% in the average fee per visit, from 158.7 RON/visit in 2019 to 169.6 RON/visit in 2020. The increase was caused by the change in the mix of services accessed by the group's clients during the pandemic period. In terms of number of visits, a contraction was noted in 2020 by 2.5%, leading to a decrease from 1,861,491 visits in 2019 to 1,815,055 visits in 2020. This was caused by traffic restrictions imposed during the pandemics, especially in the healthcare system where military ordinances were adopted with direct impact on outpatient units.
Business line sales do not reflect sales of services provided to HPP patients as part of the packages, but include sales paid as FFS by the HPP patients in the Group's clinics.
The Clinics business line derives its revenue predominately from FFS clients. Treatment for State insured patients through NHIH, mainly relating to diagnostic imaging services, represented 23% of the business line's sales in 2018 and 2019, and 25% in 2020, respectively.

Sales and Visits in Clinics in the period 2018-2020
Corporate
The Corporate business line offers HPPs on a subscription basis, generally to corporate clients, as part of the benefit packages for their employees. These programs, which focus on prevention, such as regular checkups and access to diagnostic services, complement the legally required occupational health services that corporate clients contract from MedLife as the Standard HPP.

MedLife has a portfolio of over 738,000 HPPs patients from over 6,000 different companies. The Group has the largest base
of individuals benefiting from HPP in Romania, according to publicly available data.
The HPPs offered by the Group consist of the following:
- Mandatory occupational health services, which mainly include the provision of annual employee check-ups and more specific services depending on the client's industry. Many companies begin by purchasing occupational health services under the "Standard" HPP and then add benefits under broader HPPs from the same provider for certain or all of their employees, providing an upselling opportunity for the occupational health provider.
- More general, "prevention oriented" health plans, providing expanded access to general practitioners and certain specialists in the Group's clinics as well as specified laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging for higher end packages. The specific services vary depending on the type of package.
Analysis of corporate business line 2020 evolution
For the year ended 31 December 2020, MedLife increased its revenues from HPP by 8.2%, as compared to the previous financial year. This was achieved by sustainably growing the number of corporate clients and implicitly the number of its individual subscribers, while focusing on the retention and up-sale of existing clients.
The expansion of the Group's footprint outside Bucharest has enabled access to new potential clients as the Group's own branded Clinics and other facilities offer a local solution directly under the MedLife brand. The Group has consolidated its regional sales teams to address this market.

Corporate Sales and subscriptions in the period 2018-2020
Stomatology
The Group opened its first standalone stomatology clinic under the DentaLife brand in Bucharest in 2015 in leased premises, with the plan to expand the network further within Bucharest and across the country.
On July 11, 2016, the Group completed the acquisition of Dent Estet, the most important player on the dental services market in Romania. The acquisition of Dent Estet has propelled the Group into a leading position in the dental services market, which continues to be a highly fragmented market.

Analysis of stomatology business line 2020 evolution
Stomatology business line sales increased in 2020 with RON 1,546,166 or by 2.6%, from RON 59,817,358 in 2019 to RON 61,363,524 in 2020. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in average fee per visit by 41.9%, from RON 484.9 in 2019 to RON 688.1 in 2020. This increase is justified through a change in the mix of services provided (focus on implantology services). In terms of number of visits, a significant contraction was noted in 2020 by 27.7%, leading to a decrease from 123,349 visits in 2019 to 89,172 visits in 2020. This was caused by traffic restrictions imposed during the pandemics, especially in the healthcare system where military ordinances were adopted with direct impact on stomatology division (only emergency cases were treated during 2 months period).
Stomatology business line is not subject to NHIH allocations; all of the sales are fee for service ("FFS") based.

ANNEXES
MED LIFE GROUP PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE 12 MONTHS PERIOD ENDED AT 31 DECEMBRE 2020
Introduction
The following Consolidated Pro Forma PL of the Consolidated PL is based on the Group's Consolidated audited Financial Statements for the 12 months period ended on 31 December 2020, adjusted with the historical financial results of the companies acquired by the Group during the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 (the "Acquired Companies"). Details of the Acquired Companies are set out below.
The Consolidated Pro Forma PL for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 transpose (i) the acquisition of the Acquired Companies as if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2020 by combining the financial results for the period of the Acquired Companies with those of the Group and (ii) the elimination of certain expenses included in the Consolidated PL of the Group which the Group considers to be non-operational and/or non-recurring in nature.

The Consolidated Pro Forma PL should be read in conjunction with the Group`s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020.
Purpose of the Consolidated Pro Forma PL

- 12% of share capital of Genesys Arad, as a result, MedLife holds the 73% stake;
- 10% of the share capital of Ghencea Medical Center SA, MedLife becoming the shareholder with 100%;
- 100% of share capital of Labor Maricor;
- 100% of the shares in Centrul Medical Matei Basarab SRL;
- 75% of share in Pharmachem Distributie SRL;
- 100% of the shares in CED Pharma SRL;
- 36% of the shares in KronDent SRL (indirectly): 60% acquisition through Dent Estet Clinic SA.
The Consolidated Pro Forma PL has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and, because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation and therefore, does not represent the Group's actual financial results. The Consolidated Pro Forma PL do not necessarily reflect what the combined Group's financial condition or results of operations would have been, had the acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated in the pro-forma calculations. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Group with the acquired companies. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

Basis for the Consolidated Pro Forma PL
The Consolidated Pro Forma PL for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared starting from the Consolidated PL of the Group as of 31 December 2020. The Consolidated Pro Forma PL was prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Group in the Consolidated FS as of 31 December 2020.
The Consolidated Pro Forma PL for the 12 months ended 31 December 2020 gives effect to the acquisitions of the Acquired Companies as if the acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2020. Also, certain expense items incurred by the Group in the relevant period which are considered to be non-operational and nonrecurring by nature as detailed in the notes to the tables, are reflected in the Consolidated Pro Forma PL as one-off adjustments, based on management judgment for the Group, without taking into account the Acquired Companies.
Consolidated Pro Forma PL adjustments
Normalization adjustment
Normalization adjustments are made to include the financial results of the Acquired Companies in the Group results for the relevant period. The adjustments represent the unaudited Income Statement items for the portion of the relevant period prior to and including the month of acquisition of the companies.
The companies that were normalized and the months included in the normalization are set out below:
| Entity | Date of obtaining control |
Months included in Normalization (inclusive) |
|---|---|---|
| Labor Maricor | April 2020 | January – March 2020 |
| Centrul Medical Matei Basarab | ||
| SRL | To be determined | January – December 2020 |
| Pharmachem Distributie SRL | To be determined | January – December 2020 |
| CED Pharma SRL | To be determined | January – December 2020 |
| KronDent SRL | To be determined | January – December 2020 |
One-off adjustments
One-off adjustments represent expenses which have been included in the Group's Consolidated PL but which, in the Group's opinion, represent non-recurring and/or non-operational expenses by nature. These expenses relate to costs incurred in relation to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies which were expensed rather than capitalized as part of the acquisition cost of the companies, including also the costs of aborted or continuing acquisition processes.
The one-off expenses are presented below. The amounts calculated for each of the expenses is gross of the applicable income tax.
| Type of Expense | Amount for FY 2020 | Note |
|---|---|---|

The external costs of aborted acquisitions are also included.
These expenses are considered non-recurrent and non-operational, as they do not relate to the operational business of the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders, MED LIFE S.A.
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
-
- We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Med Life S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group), with registered office in 365, Calea Grivitei, District 1, Bucharest, identified by unique tax registration code 8422035 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
-
- The consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020 are identified as follows:
| • | Net assets | RON 268,906,545 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| • | Net profit for the financial year | RON | 63,763,684 |
- In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Order 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.
Basis for Opinion
- We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council (forth named "the Regulation") and Law 162/2017 ("the Law"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), in accordance with ethical requirements relevant for the audit of the financial statements in Romania including the Regulation and the Law and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
- Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| KEY AUDIT MATTER | How our audit addressed the key audit matter | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Recognition of leases under IFRS 16 | |||
| The Company has adopted IFRS 16 as of January 1st, 2019. On adoption date, the impact lead to an increase in total assets of RON 146.4 million and an increase in total liabilities of RON 146.4 million for the opening balance • sheet. The current period is the second financial year in which the Company has applied IFRS 16. • The Company has identified during the current year errors in respect of management estimates applied in the adoption of IFRS 16, starting January 1, 2019. As a result, it has restated previously reported financial information • in relation to measurement under IFRS 16. Further information is set out in Note 3.8 and Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements. In accounting for IFRS 16 the management of the • Company has applied significant judgments and management estimates for determining: • lease term applied to its identified lease agreements; • the discount rate to be applied in measurement of right–of–use assets and lease liabilities; • • the application of exemptions and practical expedients for similar type of contracts characteristics to be accounted on a portfolio basis; • • lease modifications; • measurement in a consistent manner of rent concessions received during the financial year as a result of COVID-19; • • subsequent measurement of key elements from lease contracts which influence the valuation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. • We have defined the recognition of leases under IFRS 16 as a key audit matter owing to the significant effort required in auditing the various significant management assumptions, judgements and estimates applied, as presented above, in particular subsequent assessment over lease contracts key elements which impacts the measurement of right–of–use assets and lease liabilities. |
In responding to the key audit matter identified we have assessed the following: we have obtained an understanding of relevant controls over the identification of new leases, the underlying lease data and subsequent modifications; we have verified the accuracy of the underlying lease data by agreeing a sample of leases to supporting information made available by the Company including leases modification; we have evaluated the completeness of lease contracts by testing the reconciliation to the Company's operating lease commitments and by analysing the most significant service contracts to assess whether they contained a lease under IFRS 16; we have verified the mathematical accuracy of the IFRS 16 calculations for a sample of leases through recalculation of the right–of–use assets, lease liability, depreciation charge and finance cost. Where lease modification took place, we have evaluated the impact triggered; we have evaluated the judgment applied by the Company in estimating the discount rate used for the measurement of right–of–use asset and lease liability; we have analysed the information used by the Company in accounting for IFRS 16 in the consolidated financial statements elements on a portfolio basis, applied in cases where lease contracts with similar characteristics have been identified; we have assessed the material implications of COVID 19 applicable to the Company in accounting for IFRS 16, in particular lease incentives and impairment triggers; we have evaluated the key elements analysed by the Company, based on which restatement for previous reported financial period was performed, presentation of these elements in the statement of financial position in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and key disclosures required by IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in accounting estimates and Errors". We have also evaluated the material disclosures presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as required by IFRS 16. |
Other information - Administrator's Consolidated Report
- The administrators are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the other information. The other information comprises the Administrators' Consolidated report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and, unless otherwise explicitly mentioned in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the consolidated Administrator's report, we read it and report if this has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU, with subsequent amendments.
On the sole basis of the procedures performed within the audit of the consolidated financial statements, in our opinion:
- a) the information included in the administrators' report for the financial year for which the consolidated financial statements have been prepared is consistent, in all material respects, with these consolidated financial statements;
- b) the administrators' report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU, with subsequent amendments;
Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2020, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this consolidated Administrator's report . We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
-
- Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Order 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-
- In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
-
- Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
-
- As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
- We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
-
- We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
-
- From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
- We have been appointed by the General Assembly of Shareholders on 22 April 2019 to audit the consolidated financial statements of Med Life S.A. for the financial year ended December 31, 2020. The uninterrupted total duration of our commitment is 12 years, covering the financial years ended 31 December 2009 until 31 December 2020.
We confirm that:
- Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee of the Company that we issued the same date we issued this report. Also, in conducting our audit, we have retained our independence from the audited entity.
- No non-audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of EU Regulation No. 537 / 2014 were provided.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Irina Dobre.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRSs)
2.1 Initial application of new amendments to the existing standards effective for the current reporting period
The following amendments to the existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU are effective for the current reporting period:
- Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" - Definition of Material - adopted by the EU on 29 November 2019 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020),
- Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" Definition of a Business adopted by the EU on 21 April 2020 (effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period),
- Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - adopted by the EU on 15 January 2020 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020),
- Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. Earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorised for issue at the date the amendment is issued.)
- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards adopted by the EU on 29 November 2019 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020).
The adoption of amendments to the existing standards has not led to any material changes in the Group's financial statements, except for Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions.
*In May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) that provides practical relief to lessees in accounting for rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19, by introducing a practical expedient to IFRS 16. The practical expedient permits a lessee to elect not to assess whether a COVID19-related rent concession is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election shall account for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19-related rent concession the same way it would account for the change applying IFRS 16 if the change were not a lease modification.
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and only if all of the following conditions are met:
a) The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
b) Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021 (a rent concession meets this condition if it results in reduced lease payments on or before 30 June 2021 and increased lease payments that extend beyond 30 June 2021); and
c) There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
In the current financial year, the Group has applied the amendment to IFRS 16 (as issued by the IASB in May 2020) in advance of its effective date.
In the current year, the Group 0068as applied Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" - Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions in advance of its effective date The practical expedient has been applied to all qualifying rent concessions received for buildings. The management elected not to apply the practical expedient for rent concessions received for vehicles. Please see Note 16 for the impact recognized in profit or loss that arise from rent concessions to which the Group (lessee) has applied the practical expedient. Please see note 14 – Leases for further details.
2.2 Standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by IASB and adopted by the EU but not yet effective
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following amendments to the existing standards were issued by IASB and adopted by the EU and which are not yet effective:
- Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9" adopted by the EU on 16 December 2020 (the expiry date for the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 was extended from 1 January 2021 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", IFRS 4 "Insurance
Contracts" and IFRS 16 "Leases" - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 adopted by the EU on 13 January 2021 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021).
2.3 New standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU
At present, IFRS as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not endorsed for use in EU as at 31 December 2020 (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS as issued by IASB):
- IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016) - the European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard,
- IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" including amendments to IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" Proceeds before Intended Use (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022),
- Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022);
- Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" Reference to the Conceptual Framework with amendments to IFRS 3 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022),
- Amendments to IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture and further amendments (effective date deferred indefinitely until the research project on the equity method has been concluded),
- Amendments to various standards due to "Improvements to IFRSs (cycle 2018 -2020)" resulting from the annual improvement project of IFRS (IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41) primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording (The amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9 and IAS 41 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, so no effective date is stated.).
The Group anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application.
Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Group's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements of the Group are set out below.
3.1 Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standards for Financial Reporting ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union ("EU").
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1st 2020.
Additionally, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Order 2844/2016 for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU with subsequent amendments.
3.2 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared to serve the Group as consolidated financial statements.
The Group maintains its accounting records in Romanian Lei ("RON") and maintains the accounting books in accordance with the Regulations on Accounting and Reporting issued by the Ministry of Finance in Romania. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on the statutory accounting records of the individual entities and have been adjusted to present the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
3.3 Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Group will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group will continue its activity according to the normal course of business in the foreseeable future without encountering the impossibility of continuing its activity or without the significant decrease of its activity.
For the purposes of assessing liquidity and going concern, the Group has modelled scenarios reflecting suitable assumptions over the next 12–month period that serve to inform the decisions the Group takes regarding future cost savings, cash generation, debt covenants and levels of investment. The Group's financial performance to date in FY21 across all divisions has been ahead of the modelled scenarios.
In addition, due to the proactive response taken by the Group to improve its liquidity position, since the beginning of the pandemic crisis, the cashflows of the Group have remained stable, demonstrating the financial discipline across the Group and the conservative approach taken when modelling scenarios.
As part of the Group's proactive response to maintaining its liquidity position and optimising its response to the crisis, a broad range of consequent actions was taken including:
• All non-urgent and non-committed capital programmes have been postponed or reduced during the initial months of the pandemic;
• Non-essential administrative costs generally and relating to projects specifically have been postponed or reduced;
• Measures have been taken to further optimise working capital management;
- Lease amortisation payments have been deferred, where possible;
- Decreasing the working hours for key administrative staff from 5 to 4 working days;
• Negotiation with providers, considered "not mandatory" for the Group in order to suspend the collaboration for a defined period of time.
• The Management of the Group reassessed the serving capacity of all business units and readjusted their medical infrastructure to the new market requirements. In this respect, all business units went through a market repositioning process that allowed them to address more efficiently customers' needs as a result of population's change of approach in relation to post Covid medical services.
All measures taken have been decided upon having in mind the Group's strategy to better position itself to all the new market changes, on the long term. As a consequence, the management focused on increasing efficiency of its operations in order to obtain better flexibility over capitalizing market opportunities.
Additional mitigating steps were implemented, such as further reductions in fixed operating costs, rent waivers and government intervention packages.
In response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020 the Romanian authorities introduced a government programme for companies that were forced to shut down their operations and furlough staff. Under the programme, an eligible company could apply for this in an amount up to a level of 75% of the average salary per economy, to continue paying monthly salaries to its furloughed employees. The measure taken by the Group was to reduce costs in connection with support departments by sending non-critical staff into technical unemployment. The costs were borne by the Romanian Government up to a level of 75% of the average salary per economy; for salaries that exceeded the average in the economy, the difference was borne by the Group.
Also, the Group has made a 50% reduction of the salaries of the management team for a period of 45 days (from March 16 to April 30). The impact was not quantified, being considered insignificant as a share in operating expenses.
Another support measure during the state alert is the settlement for the sanitary units with beds in contractual relationship with the National Health Insurance Houses of the amounts contracted and settled from the budget of the Single National Health Insurance Fund or from the budget of the Ministry of Health, regardless the number of cases performed or, as the case may be, at the level of the activity actually performed in the conditions in which it exceeds the contracted level (Document no. 195/2020, Chapter III / Art. 17 / c)).
These steps have provided additional support to the liquidity analysis and modelled scenarios.
Going forward, the management has assessed the continuity of such measures and included this scenario in the financial modelling of the Group concluding that all cost cutting measures are replicable for the future periods and will continue to release margin into the Group's cashflows.
Based on the Group's current financial position and the modelled scenarios, the directors have concluded that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet all its obligations for at least the twelve months from the date of this report and the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
3.4 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company (Med Life S.A.) and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein.
The interests of non-controlling shareholders are initially measured at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the fair value of the acquired company's identifiable net assets.
Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
3.5 Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
3.6 Accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenue and expenses for the period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Impact of COVID 19 in respect of untaken holidays balance
In order to mitigate the effects generated by COVID 19, the Group took a series of measures to protect the business and address potential liquidity management risks by applying a series of cost cutting measures in relation to personnel costs and enrolled a significant number of its personnel into technical unemployment procedures. As a side effect, but also generated by the long period of lock down measures applied by the Romanian government the demand for vacation leaves has decreased significantly within the Group during 2020. As a result, the management decided to take on a prudent approach in terms of provisioning untaken holidays and recognized a provision of RON 6 million as at December, 31 2020.
Impact of COVID 19 in respect of IFRS 9
The Group observed that the medical crisis has determined a slowdown in collection of its receivables as a result of the working capital challenges encountered by its clients.
In order to counter this risk, the management decided to apply a prudent approach to future cashflows an recognized an allowance for bad and doubtful debts of RON 10.8 million as at December, 31 2020.
3.7 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Romanian Leu ("RON"), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (its "functional currency").
The exchange rates on December 31, 2020 were RON 4.8694 for EUR 1 (December 31, 2019: RON 4.7793 for EUR 1), respectively 1.3356 for HUF 100 (December 31, 2019: RON 1.4459 for 100 HUF). The average exchange rates for the period of 12 months 2020 were 4.8276 RON for 1 EUR (12 months 2019: 4.7454 RON for 1 EUR), respectively 1.3777 RON for 100 HUF (12 months 2019: 1.4589 for 100 HUF).
The monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency as of reporting date have been converted from EUR to RON at the closing exchange rate as announced by the National Bank of Romania.
The profit and loss incurred before the transaction date of the acquired businesses in 2020 were eliminated.
3.8 Correction of error
The comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
Implementation of IFRS 16
Given its large and complex operations, the Group leases a significant number of assets including buildings and land for operational activities, medical equipment and vehicles. Contractual periods differ, depending on the lease type and the leased asset, the driver being the strategic point of view the Group has into further managing its asset portfolio.
As a result of the pandemic crisis, the Group commenced the process of securing its strategic facilities under lease agreements, for longer periods of time. Accordingly, several major lease agreements have been renegotiated with focus on better commercial conditions for the Group, in terms of both pricing and better security over extension options for the lease agreements.
In addition to this approach, the management decided to purchase many of its prior-leased locations in order to secure the Group's growth in line with its strategic plan. All these aspects where reflected when accounting for leased properties under IFRS 16, by also restating the opening balance, for comparability reasons.
In this respect, the management has evaluated its options for early termination as well as the existence of the Group's single triggered decision to extend the lease term, on a case-by-case basis.
In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or to exercise a termination option, are considered.
Basic earnings per share for the prior year have also been restated. The amount of the correction for basic earnings per share was a decrease of 0.02 RON per share. For more details please see Note 17 – Earnings per share.
The Company has also reclassified "Materna" vouchers from Cash equivalents to Other financial assets due to the fact that their convertibility in cash exceeds more than three months and some grants were reclassified from short term to long term. For more details please see Note 8 – Cash and banks.

3.9 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business (see 3.5 above) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/income statement. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
3.10 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
3.11 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings held for use in the supply of services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The lands and constructions held for administrative purposes are recorded in the balance sheet at the revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The value of land and buildings owned presented in these consolidated financial statements is based on the valuation reports which were performed as of December 31, 2019 by independent valuators certified by ANEVAR. The revaluation is performed with sufficient regularity as to ensure that the Group presents land and buildings at fair value in the consolidated financial statements
Expenses for repairs and maintenance are recognized in the profit or loss account at the time of their execution. Costs with capital repairs are included in the book value of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits above the initially evaluated standard of performance of the existing asset will be transferred to the Group. Capital renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful period of the respective asset. The land is not depreciated.
Installations and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Assets under construction are recorded at cost, less accumulated impairment losses and moved to tangible assets once they become available for use.
The depreciation is calculated at the values of the tangible assets by the linear method up to the estimated residual values of the assets. Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, and the effects of changes in estimates are recorded prospectively.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Buildings 10 – 50 years Plant and equipment 3 – 15 years Fixtures and fittings 3 – 15 years
Years
3.12 Assets held under finance leases
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
3.13 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Group's intangible assets are represented by software licenses which are amortized straight-line over a period of three years.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives such as trademarks, customer lists, contract advantage, that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
De-recognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
3.14 Investments in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership, which is controlled by another entity (known as the parent). Control is achieved where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A parent company, shall present consolidated financial statements in which it consolidates its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with this IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.
3.15 Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.
Losses of an associate in excess of the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate) are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant associate.
3.16 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises of all the costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, being valued on a first in first out basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The group applies FIFO as a costing method.
3.17 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration (transaction price) that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The Group always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on this financial asset are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
Write-off policy
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe
financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
For financial assets such as trade receivables, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all trade receivables with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Interest revenues
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the "finance income - interest revenue" line item.
3.18 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less.
3.19 Government grants
Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to an entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. They exclude those forms of government assistance which cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them and transactions with government which cannot be distinguished from the normal trading transactions of the entity.
Government grants are recognised at their fair value when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Alternatively, they are deducted in reporting the related expense.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in the consolidated statement of financial position as deferred income and they are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
3.20 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component which are measured at transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit and loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense (or income) over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability (or asset), or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability (or asset).
Financial assets
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial sets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "finance income - interest revenue" line item.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The carrying amount of financial assets that are denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. Specifically, for financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the 'other financial expenses' line item.
Impairment of financial assets accounting policy is presented in note 3.17.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense (or income) over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability (or asset), or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability (or asset).
Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments. These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the 'other financial expenses' line item in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings, pending their expenditure on qualifying assets, is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
3.21 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the combined income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit
nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity.
3.22 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The Group presents the amount of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period in the statement of changes in equity, and the related amount of dividends per share in the notes to the financial statements.
3.23 Share premiums
Share premiums are own funds created as a result of the difference between the issue value of the shares and the nominal value of the shares. The Group recorded share premiums as a result of the issue of shares.
3.24 Revaluation reserve
The increases in the fair value of land and buildings are recorded against revaluation reserves. Any decreases in the fair value of land and buildings are first deducted from the revaluation reserves and then the difference is recorded through profit and loss accounts. The revaluation is performed with sufficient regularity as to ensure that the Group presents land and buildings at fair value in the consolidated financial statements.
3.25 Provisions for risks and charges
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event and it is probable that there will be a future outflow of resources in order to extinguish this liability. Provisions for risks and charges are assessed at the end of each period and adjusted in order to present management's best estimate.
3.26 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised over time where (i) there is a continuous transfer of control to the customer; or (ii) there is no alternative use for any asset created and there is an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Other revenue contracts are recognised at a point in time when control of the service transfers to the customer.
The Group provides health care medical services to corporate and retail customers, in which one performance obligation is a promise to transfer distinct services to the beneficiary.
The Group's core activities are conducted through five business lines, providing a well-balanced business portfolio that covers all key segments of the private medical services market. Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by business line comprises the following major categories: clinics, stomatology, hospitals, laboratories and corporate.
The Group's business and revenue model focuses on the spending power of corporations and private
individuals on medical services, while the State's contribution through the National Health Insurance House represents a complement, not the core revenue of Group's activities. However, the National Health Insurance House is considered to be one major customer that goes across multiple sectors such as: clinics, hospitals and laboratories, and from which the Group receives the consideration based on reaching preestablished ceilings, for the medical services provided to the State's insured patients, which are the end users of the healthcare medical services. The revenue in relation with NHIH is recognised at the end of the month, when the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed up to date, as the end user receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance as the entity performs.
Clinics
The core of the Group's operations is the network of ambulatory clinics. The business line comprises a network of 75 facilities, which offer a wide range of outpatient services covering a broad range of medical specialties. The Group's diagnostic imaging services provided to clients other than hospital inpatients also form part of this business line. The Group's clinics provide a wide range of services delivered mainly in two formats:
- Hyper clinics, a format pioneered by the Group in Romania, consisting of large facilities with at least 20 medical offices and surface areas in excess of 1,000 sqm. It is a one-stop-shop for clinical examinations and imaging. This format is designed for larger urban areas, with a population over 175,000. Hyper clinics would usually include a broad range of imaging services on site including radiology, bone density – DEXA, CT, MRI, 2D-4D ultrasounds and Mammography; in the case of new openings, such services may be included in the hyper clinics' offering gradually. Hyper clinic locations also host the services of other business lines, such as sampling points for laboratories.
- Clinics, offering a range of treatments from general practitioner services to specialists, are aimed at servicing the core needs of the Group's HPP patients and FFS clients. The Group's clinics typically have between 5 and 12 medical offices, although smaller satellite clinics are in operation to address specific market situations. Clinics are designed for smaller cities or to serve specific concentrations of patients. Clinics, with limited capacity and generally limited imaging services, act as feeder networks for the more specialized services located in the hyper clinics.
Stomatology
The Group's Dentistry business line offers a full range of services, ranging from medical examinations to surgery, implants or orthodontic services.
Stomatology business line is not subject to NHIH allocations. All of the sales are fee for service ("FFS") based, and the revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Laboratories
The Laboratories business line provides the following range of services: biochemistry, pathological anatomy (cytology and histology), molecular biology and genetics, haematology, immunology, microbiology and toxicology. Sampling points are locations where the Group collects blood and other samples from patients. The Laboratories business line sources the bulk of its revenue from FFS clients, and the revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied.
One exception is when the Group provides laboratory tests to other companies' employees and the revenue is recognised at the end of the month, when the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed up to date.
Hospitals
Hospital services provided to patients are regarded as a bundle of services which comprise accommodation, meals, use of equipment, pharmacy stock and nursing services. This is considered to be a single performance obligation as the medical procedures cannot be performed without one of the above elements. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the hospital service is provided and is based on the amounts due from patients. Fees are calculated and billed based on various tariff agreements.
The Hospitals business line derives its revenue predominantly from FFS patients. Treatment of State insured patients for the NHIH, generally relates to maternity, genecology, cardiology and oncology.
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised service to the patient and the payment by the patient exceeds one year. Consequently, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for time value of money.
Corporate
The Corporate business line offers HPPs (health prevention packages) on a subscription basis, generally to corporate clients, as part of the benefit packages for their employees. These programs, which focus on prevention, such as regular check-up's and access to diagnostic services, complement the legally required occupational health services that corporate clients contract from the Group as the Standard HPP. The Group has a portfolio of over 700,000 HPPs patients from over 5,000 different companies.
The HPPs offered by the Group consist of the following:
- Mandatory occupational health services, which mainly include the provision of annual employee check-ups and more specific services depending on the client's industry. Many companies begin by purchasing occupational health services under the "Standard" HPP and then add benefits under broader HPPs from the same provider for certain or all of their employees, providing an upselling opportunity for the occupational health provider.
- More general, "prevention oriented" health plans, providing expanded access to general practitioners and certain specialists in the Group's clinics and as well as specified laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging for higher end packages. The specific services vary depending on the type of package.
The revenue in relation with corporate customers is recognized over time. Under the output method, the entity would measure completion of the total performance obligation either in relation to the total obligation that has been satisfied or in relation to what remains to be satisfied, based on health prevention packages delivered.
Contract assets and liabilities
A contract asset (accrued income) is the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer. Where the Group transfers services to a customer over time before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration to date under the contract. Contract assets are presented within trade and other receivables (Note 7 – Accounts receivables) on the Group Balance Sheet and are expected to be realized in less than one year.
A contract liability (deferred income) is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer. Where the customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. Contract liabilities are presented within trade and other payables (Note 11 – Accounts payables) on the Group Balance Sheet.
Using the practical expedient in IFRS 15, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised service to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less. All the contracts are under one year.
Contracts are for periods of less than one year or are billed based on services incurred. As permitted under IFRS 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not disclosed.
3.27 Employee benefits
Employee benefits
The Group, in the normal course of business, makes payments to the Romanian State on behalf of its employees for pensions, health care and unemployment cover. The cost of these payments is charged to the income statement in the same period as the related salary cost.
All employees of the Group are members of the Romanian State pension plan. The Group does not operate any other pension scheme.
Bonus schemes
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense where a contractual obligation exists for short-term incentives.
The amounts payable to employees in respect of the short-term incentive schemes are determined based on annual business performance targets.
3.28 Related parties
The relationships between the entities and the company are special when one of the parties has the ability to directly control or significantly influence the other party, by using ownership, contractual rights, family relationships or any other means.
Related parties also include individuals which are principal owners, management or members of the Group's Board of Directors, as well as the members of their families.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the fact that the parties have entered into arm's length transactions with the entities within the group and according to objectively established prices.
3.29 Fair value
Certain accounting policies of the Group and information presentation criteria require determination of the fair value both for the assets and the liabilities of the Group. In determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the Group uses as much as possible observable market values. Fair values are classified on various levels based on inputs used in valuation techniques, as follows:
- Level 1: (unadjusted) quoted prices on active markets for identical assets and liabilities
- Level 2: inputs, other than the prices included in level 1, which are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly (e.g.: prices) or indirectly (e.g.: derived from prices)
- Level 3: inputs for evaluation of assets and liabilities which are not based on observable market data.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the note 5.1 Land and buildings carried at fair value.
3.30 IAS 29
Med Life SA was created in 1996. The development of the Group was continuous throughout the years. The significant additions to non-current assets and the material share capital subscriptions and the share premiums were recorded after Romania stopped being considered a hyperinflationary economy. As such, no inflation adjustments have been applied to equity and the Company did not have to apply IAS 29 requirements.
3.31 IFRS 8
IFRS 8 disclosures are meant to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.
An operating segment is a component of an entity:
- (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity),
- (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and
- (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
The Group considers that all the business activities from which it earns revenues are intertwined and that the main business activity represents one segment - the rendering of medical services.
In order to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business, the Group decided to present the revenues split on the main business lines (please see Note 19 - Revenue from contracts with customers).
3.32 IFRS 16 "Leases"
The Group leases various buildings, equipment, vehicles and other assets. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor.
The Group's assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group - except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
• The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option; and
• Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses recent third-party financing received by the lessee as a starting point and adjusts the rate to reflect changes in financing conditions since the thirdparty financing was received.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-ofuse asset) whenever:
• The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
• The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
• A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
- Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives;
- Any initial direct costs; and
- Restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position
The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the 'Property, Plant and Equipment' policy.
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.
As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Company has used this practical expedient.
3.33 Subsequent events
The effect of significant subsequent events, after the reporting period, which supplies additional information regarding the financial position of the Group and require adjustments are reflected in the balance sheet or profit and loss, if the case. The significant events that do not require adjustments are disclosed in the notes of the separate financial statements.
3.34 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares;
• by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
3.35 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In applying the Group 's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the management is required to make judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are presented separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.
Critical judgements in assessing the impairment of financial assets
When accounting for its investments in subsidiaries, the Group 's management has concluded that the investments shall be maintained and presented at cost. Please refer to Note 3.14 – Investments in subsidiaries.
Critical judgements in assessing the impairment of non-financial assets
Please refer to Note 5 – tangible and intangible fixed assets.
Critical judgements in determining the fair value of land and buildings
The Group accounts for land and building using the fair value approach based on market comparative valuations performed by certified ANEVAR professional as per revaluation reports concluded as at 31 December 2019. The valuations conform to International Valuation Standards. As at 31 December 2020, the management has not identified any indication that would conclude the need of revaluating its land and buildings for any impairment.
For further details, please see Note 5.1 – Land and buildings carried at fair value.
Critical judgements in assessing revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 3.25 – Revenue recognition.
Critical judgements in determining the lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or
periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
For leases of buildings, cars and equipment, the following factors are normally the most relevant:
• If there are significant penalty payments to terminate (or not extend), the group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• Otherwise, the group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.
• If the Group considers that some of the lease agreement shall be terminated earlier, then the assumption of the tenor shall be reassessed accordingly in order to fairly represent the management's view of the leased asset's impact to the Financial Statements.
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Critical judgements in determining the control over subsidiaries
Note 27.1 describes that the Group acquired 4 companies in December 2020 but the control was not obtained as at December 31, 2020.
The Company assessed whether or not the Group has control over the acquired companies based on whether the Group has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the targets. After assessment, the Group concluded that the Group cannot direct the relevant activities of the targets and therefore the Group does not have control over the companies as at December 31, 2020.
Key source of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
Calculation of loss allowance
The Group always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on this financial asset are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
In determining adjustments for impairment of receivables, management incorporates forward-looking information, exercises professional judgment and uses estimates and assumptions. Estimation of expected credit risk losses involved forecasting future macroeconomic conditions for the next 2 years. More details on the assumptions, scenarios used and the weights assigned to each scenario can be found in Note 7 dedicated to accounts receivables.
The incorporation of forward-looking elements reflects the expectations of the Group and involves the creation of scenarios, including an assessment of the probabilities of materialization of each scenario.

Management conducts impairment tests on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment to assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill.
Recoverable amount is determined using fair value less cost of disposal. Management has determined the recoverable amount of the 24 CGUs by assessing the fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCOD) of the underlying assets. The valuation is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation. This is performed using discounted cash flow models.
There are a number of key sensitive judgements made in determining the inputs into these models which include:
- Revenue growth
- Operating margins and
- The discount rates applied to the projected future cash flows.
Management have engaged specialists to assist with the impairment analysis. An impairment of goodwill was identified as of December 31, 2020 in amount of 90,706 RON. The accumulated carrying amount as of December 31, 2020, was in amount of 90,706 RON. The activity of Vital Test Laboratory was moved to MedLife S.A. There were no changes in the valuation techniques compared to prior year. The impairment loss is included in administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss.
Management's approach and the key assumptions used to determine the CGU's FVLCOD were as follows: for cash flow forecast the management's approach were board approved five years forecasts which are prepared by management.

5.1. Land and buildings carried at fair value
The value of land and buildings of the Group are stated at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value measurements of the Group's freehold land and buildings as at 31 December 2019 were performed by independent valuers not related to the Group. They are certified by ANEVAR and have appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the fair value measurement of properties in the relevant locations. 2020 2019 2019

| The fair value of the buildings was determined using the cost approach that reflects the cost to a market participant to construct assets of comparable utility and age, adjusted for obsolescence and the revenue based approach (capitalizing the net income from rents). The final value that resulted is the one that derives from the application of the method by cost. |

The trademark used to identify and distinguish the medical services, customer list, contract advantages have an indefinite useful life. The Group intends to use these intangibles continuously and evidence supports its ability to do so. An analysis of market and competitive trends provides evidence that the services will generate net cash inflows for the group for an indefinite period. Therefore, the intangibles are carried at cost without amortisation, but is tested for impairment.
The useful life for trademarks, customers list and contract advantages cannot be reasonably estimated as they intend to generate future benefits over the period which the company is expected to continue its activity. The capitalized cost for intangible assets recognized during the year is already included in the other intangible assets on the balance sheet – for further details please see note 21 - Other operating revenues.
5.4. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). The fair value of intangible assets was assessed by an independent appraiser at acquisition date.

Customers' compliance with agreed credit terms is monitored regularly and closely. Where payments are delayed by customers, steps are taken to restrict access to services or contracts are terminated.
Certain customers, which are public or quasi-public institutions, or subsidiaries of MedLife, may have longer payment terms and services may be continued to be delivered when amounts are overdue due to management's assessment of a lower credit risk.
The average receivable period for the services offered is 95 days. There is no interest on commercial receivables within the first 95 days from the date of issue of the invoice.
The carrying amount of financial assets, measured at amortised cost, represents the maximum credit exposure. There are no credit enhancements or collateral held that would offset such amounts. As the customer base of the Group is very diverse, there are generally no large concentrations of credit risk.
Based on the assessed credit risk of the customers, Group`s trade receivables are split between individually assessed and collectively assessed.

In contract assets, in 2019 and 2020, include a debt of RON 7,365,835 which represents amounts receivable by MedLife S.A. from the Health Insurance House of the Municipality of Bucharest, not yet invoiced. The company has commenced court proceedings against the Health Insurance House of Bucharest. The management of the Company is confident that the amount will be recovered in the end, but considering the unfavorable decisions of the courts in similar cases, the Company has decided to register a value adjustment for the entire amount.
The Group applies the simplified approach for providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables which are collectively analysed. No ECL has been recognised for other financial assets carried at amortised cost as there is no related credit risk.

| Estimating adjustments doubtful receivables involves forecasting future macroeconomic conditions for the next 2 years. The incorporation of forward-looking elements reflects the Groups expectations and involves the creation of scenarios (baseline, optimistic, pessimistic), including an assessment of the probability of materialization of each scenario. The applied macroeconomic scenarios were modified compared to those used in 2019 to reflect the worsening macroeconomic outlook amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The scenarios used were: the baseline scenario, the optimistic scenario and the pessimistic scenario.

(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 14, cash and cash equivalents disclosed in note 8 and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in note 15 and note 16.
The Group's risk management reviews the capital structure regularly. As a part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.
(b) Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Financial assets that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, short-term deposits, trade and other receivables. The Group's cash equivalents and short-term deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions with a high credit rating.
Trade receivables are represented net of the allowance for expected credit losses. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base, which consists mainly of both individuals and companies. Around 62% of the total sales are cashbased with remaining being based on issuance of invoices.
The financial condition of these customers in relation to their credit standing is evaluated on an ongoing basis.
The Group has also developed certain procedures to assess legal entities as customers prior to signing contracts, aimed at providing preventive and prophylactic health care packages (PPMs) and monitoring their ability to meet the payments during the course of contracts. Also, the Group has established an internal Collection department which actively monitors encashments received from customers.
The gross carrying amounts of financial assets (before credit loss allowances) included in the statement of financial position represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these assets. The Group has only 20% of its sales during 2020 deriving from the treatment of NHIH insured patients (concentration of credit risk) – reliance on major customers.
At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Company did not consider there to be a significant concentration of credit risk. Please see note 7 – Accounts receivables, for further details regarding credit risks of trade and other receivables and also note 3.17 Trade receivables, for further details of accounting policies used by the Group.
(c) Financial risk management objectives
The Group's Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
(d) Market risk
The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (g) below).
There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.
(e) Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The higher risk is represented by funds borrowed in the national currency, because the interest rates are periodically repriced based on index variation.
Lease contracts concluded in the national currency are also exposed due to the above repricing process, as the discount rate in this case is linked to the internal borrowing rates for funds withdrawn in the national currency.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
| The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. |
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for interest bearing financial instruments at the reporting date. Out of the total outstanding balances for both borrowings and leases only the amounts that refers to the Club loan and lease contracts (which refer to rent of buildings, equipment and vehicles) have been considered for the sensitivity on interest rate computation. These amounts which were included in the analysis cover more than 80% of the total outstanding balances for both borrowings and leases. |
|||||||
| A 10% per cent increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. |
|||||||
| The assumptions used have not changed from previous years. | |||||||
| If interest rates had been 10% per cent higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2020 would decrease by RON 930,828 RON (2019: decrease with RON 676,833). This is mainly attributable to the Group's exposure to interest rates on its borrowings and leases. |

(f) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for financial liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

(g) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments in the balance sheet include trade receivables and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term loans and trade and other payables. The estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts. The carrying amounts represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk for existing receivables.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters through matching mechanism between assets and liabilities. Starting with 2020, the Group can withdraw money in the national currency from the credit facility available but not used, in order to limit foreign currency exposure.
Financial instruments that are not held at fair value
At level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group classified cash and cash equivalents as assets that are not held at fair value.
At level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group and the Bank classified in the category of assets: cash equivalents (maternity vouchers), trade and other receivables, other financial assets, and in the category of debt: loans from banks and other financial institutions, leasing debts, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
The following table shows the fair value and the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020:

The Group is mainly exposed in respect of the exchange rate of the RON versus EUR. The above table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in RON against EUR. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.
If EUR is weakening 10% against RON, the profit will increase and the amount stated below will be positive. For a 10% strengthening of EUR against RON there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Contingent li abilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable. A contingent asset is
not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Club loan related commitments
Med Life SA shall not enter into any agreement which will amend, novate, modify or vary the provisions of Med Life's Shareholders' Agreement without the prior written consent of the lenders.
Other commitments
As at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Group holds insurance policies to cover possible liabilities towards doctors for malpractice as well as insurance contracts related to buildings and medical equipment.
In conformity with the concluded agreement with the National House of Health Insurance, the Group has to provide primary medical services to National House's insured citizens.
BCR issued letters of warranties in the favour of Med Life S,A, in amount of RON 2,631,819 out of which in EUR 404,646 as of December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: RON 2,631,819, equivalent of EUR 404,646).
Fiscal environment
The taxation system in Romania is still developing and is subject to various interpretations and constant changes, which may sometimes be retroactive. Although the actual tax due for a transaction may be minimum, delay interests may be significant, as they can be calculated at the value of the transaction and at a rate of 0.02% per day (interest) and 0.01% (penalties) per day.
In Romania the statute of limitation for tax controls (audits) is of 5 years. Management believes that the tax obligations included in these financial statements are adequate.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Transfer pricing
The fiscal legislation from Romania includes the "market value" principle, according to which the transactions between related parties have to be performed at the market value. The local tax payers, who carry transactions with related parties, have to prepare and make available to the tax authorities from Romania, at their written request, the transfer pricing documentation file. If the companies do not prepare the documentation or they present an incomplete transfer pricing file may attract penalties for nonconformity, and additionally to the information presented in the transfer pricing file, the fiscal authorities may have a different interpretation of the transactions and the circumstances compared to the management's assessment and, as a result, they may impose additional fiscal obligations as a result of adjusting transfer prices. The management of the Group is confident that, if required, they will submit the necessary information in due time to the fiscal authorities. The transactions with related parties and group companies are performed based on the market value principle.
Litigation
The Group is involved in various litigations as part of normal course of business. Management has assessed the legal status together with the Group's legal advisors and all necessary adjustments have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
30. AUDITORS' FEES
The auditor of the Group is Deloitte Audit SRL.
The fee for the audit of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 of the Group prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by EU and the individual financial statements as of December 31, 2020 of the Group prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by EU of Med Life SA was EUR 155,500 excluding VAT and out of pocket expenses.
The fee for other audit related services performed in 2020 (in accordance with ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3.240) was EUR 12,000, excluding VAT.
31. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
Continued action plan to prevent and limit the spread of COVID-19
The MedLife Medical System, the largest operator of medical services in Romania, has implemented, from the first alert day on limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) virus in Romania, a series of prevention and protection measures for patients. and to the medical and auxiliary staff, focusing on preventing factors that could represent a danger of infection for all those in the medical units.
In all MedLife units, the methodology of surveillance of the acute respiratory system was implemented, and at the moment, the company ensures a good continuity of the medical activity. Epidemiological triage of patients through call-centres and medical teams, special circuits for patients with acute respiratory pathology, adaptation of consultation intervals to increase patient safety (allocating time needed to disinfect spaces after interaction with each patient), creating special spaces for isolating cases suspected of infectious diseases, the provision of protective equipment and disinfectant products, but also the development of complex procedures of cleaning, disinfection and nebulization are only part of the important measures that have been taken and that the special medical teams follow and manage them properly.
Regarding the operational segment, the administrative and support staff, the MedLife Medical System has implemented a Continuity of Activity Plan, the safety of the employees being a priority. The measures consist in dividing the key employees into two teams and avoiding physical interaction between them, but also the remote activity, both ensuring a good continuity of the company's activity. Also, all the events scheduled at Med Life level in the following period were suspended, and they will revert to them when exposure in the public space will no longer represent a risk to human health.
The MedLife Medical System actively monitors the economic situation in Romania and the possible negative implications on its current operations, at present, there are reductions in the activity determined by the social distance measures, imposed by the public authorities as measures to limit the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (Coronavirus). Despite the diminished activity, the company has taken all necessary measures to maintain good continuity of medical activity in all MedLife clinics and hospitals, taking priority over medical staff and colleagues in the front line and studying the compensation of these turbulences by reducing the short-term overhead costs.
The priority of the MedLife Medical System remains the health of patients and employees, fully respecting the decisions of the local authorities.
The Company assessed the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic over its business and concluded that the financial statements will not be significantly affected by this event. Even though, we currently can't properly evaluate the consequences of this pandemic considering the dynamics in the evolution, the Company doesn't expect a major impact on its activity in the future based on information available to the management at the date of this report.

6. Non-Financial Information
Overview
MedLife Group dedicates all its resources to ensure every client's professional medical services at the highest standards, based on state-of-the-art technological support, in impeccable safety and comfort conditions. The Group has been constantly developing based on the desire to meet the most demanding and complex medical services. The goal of the Group medical units is to improve the quality of life of every patient that use the Group medical services. The access to MedLife Group services is facilitated by the integrated system in place consisting in: hospital, outpatient, laboratory, pharmacy, imaging and corporate subscriptions. As a result, MedLife has become the largest private healthcare provider nationwide based on Sales figures, and is making every effort to further address the needs of patients and to ensure the quality and safety of the medical act.
MedLife offers its services through the largest team of doctors and nurses working in the private sector in Romania, with about 3,000 doctors and 2,000 nurses. The Group employs full-time specialists for the vast majority of specialties offered, but also on a limited-time basis for specialties or specific functions, or works with collaborating medical staff. In addition, given its commitment to provide quality medical services, the Group has consistently invested in medical equipment, which has helped sustain its market leadership in diagnostic imaging technology.
The Group enjoys a high level of satisfaction among patients, achieving a high score for the reputation of its brands among clients and an increasing number of patients is recommending the Group services. The company latest study reveals that MedLife is perceived as a brand that differentiates itself in particular through its openness and respect offered to its customers. The respect offered to the customer, and, at the same time, the efficacy and seriousness proved through the services makes MedLife to be perceived as a trustworthy partner that offers a sense of security.
MedLife received the title of "Most Trusted Brand" by Reader's Digest in the Private Clinics category in Romania for 6 consecutive years (2009-2015), 5 Superbrand Awards (including 2019), Qudal distinction in 2016 and 2017, and ICERTIAS certification for "Superior Excellence" after a study conducted in 2018.
The group conducts weekly patient surveys to get their opinion on the healthcare provided, and the Mystery Shopper is organized biannually at the group level.
Business Model
Med Life's concept of Hyper clinics, large scale ambulatory clinics, as well as the integration of various segments (in the Group) provides substantial potential for revenue capture. For example, an HPP client visiting a Group clinic for a preventative check-up may be advised to undertake further tests or seek further consultations not covered by the HPP. These additional services or consultations are often available within the same Hyper clinic, facilitating the client to choose the Company's services. The Company's ability to accompany the patients in many cases from prevention to diagnosis through treatment provides a continuity of treatment for the patient as well as the capture of FFS revenue for the Group. The Group's Pharmacies business line is another example of revenue capture. When a prescription is given in one of the Group's consulting rooms, patients will often use the most convenient location to fill it: a pharmacy that is
within the same building where the prescription was given. The Group's expansion into the Stomatology business line adds a further leg to this strategy. Preventative dental check-ups can be included in some Health Prevention Packages, ("HPP") which may lead patients to choose the Group for any follow-up treatment as a FFS client.
Sales largely from cash-pay and HPP with low dependency on National Health Houses ("NHIH") funding
Many private healthcare providers in Romania remain dependent for a significant portion of their sales on contracts awarded by the NHIH to service State insured patients. This increases their exposure to changes in the NHIH healthcare priorities, pricings and allocation systems. With only 10% of its sales during 2020 deriving from the treatment of NHIH insured patients, MedLife can independently determine its policies and priorities.
The largest number of HPP clients in Romania
With over 700,000 HPP subscribers as at 31 December 2020, the Group has access to a significant potential client base for its FFS activities. This base is further expanded when the HPP subscribers bring family members and provide referrals to others for the Group's FFS offering. The HPP client base also provides opportunities for up-selling as many of the HPP clients begin with basic medical services packages and gradually move to more comprehensive services.
The Group's continuous investments in new medical facilities set the basis for potential new HPP clients, as the Group's ability to service HPP subscribers in its own medical facilities is often key to the clients' purchasing decision. The market outside Bucharest remains, in the Group's view, underdeveloped for HPP and as such represents an opportunity for further growth by acquiring and integrating local and regional providers, thus expanding its footprint on a regional level and increasing its appeal to HPP clients.
Experienced management able to generate and manage activity development both by organic growth and acquisitions
The Company's track record of organic and acquisition growth is largely due to the Company's strong management team. The Company has developed systems for screening potential acquisitions, completing detailed analysis and decision making in a timely manner, and implementing, post transaction, a fast and efficient integration process. The Company has a reputation in the market as a "friendly acquirer", mainly because the targets' founder/owners are often given the opportunity to stay in the business as minority shareholders, and managers of the subsidiary. Through this approach, MedLife retains their accumulated experience and market knowledge while being able to fully integrate the acquisition into its own systems and revenue capture opportunities. Moreover, by implementing the share buy-back and exchange program of shares with minority shareholders, the Group encourages the alignment of the interests and the contribution of the founders of the subsidiaries to the integrated activity of the group.
From 2010 until December 31, 2020, MedLife has acquired 53 companies (if the representatives of the Competition Council will approve Pharmachem Distributie and CED Pharma - the last acquisitions announced by MedLife), thus gaining valuable expertise and knowledge for the Group, which will allow them to find the best method of continuous and efficient expansion.
Strategy and results
MedLife strategy focuses on maintaining leadership position. MedLife Group seeks to expand its portfolio of units and services, ensuring profitable national coverage to meet the needs of existing and new customers of the Group. At the same time, the Group remains committed to providing clients with safe and quality medical treatments, ensuring a balance between the medical risks and opportunities and the commercial objectives of the Group. Therefore, at the end of 2020, MedLife network include 22 hyper clinics, 53 clinics, 10 hospitals, 33 laboratories, 12 dental clinics and 14 pharmacies, MedLife being the only healthcare provider with large clinics with presence in all cities with over 150,000 inhabitants.
The Group is pursuing opportunities to capture additional revenues and achieve synergies within its current networks and services. The Group aims to achieve this goal through organic growth and the acquisition of smaller providers of medical services on the market. As a result of this strategy, over the past three years, the MedLife Group has been characterized by significant increases in Sales from one reporting period to the next.
Organic growth
During the period 2014 – December 2020, the Company opened a number of new clinics and other facilities, particularly sampling points for its Laboratories business line. Many of these facilities are believed to still have the capacity to service greater numbers of patients, which should allow for the increase in their revenue and profit contribution, as they reach fuller utilization. Further, the Company and the Group continue to optimize the range of services offered at its other facilities to the specific local market conditions, seeking to improve the revenue and margins of each location. As a result, the constant and accelerated ramp-up of these facilities is expected to improve margins as well as deliver further sales growth.
People and resources
The Company services patients through the largest private pool of doctors and nurses in Romania. As of December 31, 2020, the Group, on an overall level, was collaborating with a number of approximately 3,000 physicians and 2,000 qualified nurses across its business lines, including both employees working exclusively for the Group and collaborators, providing services as independent professionals. In addition, more than 1,700 full time employees were working in support and administrative functions as of December 31, 2020.
The Group's objective is that its medical staff be formed exclusively of full-time employees, even if certain specialties and functions either do not justify full-time engagements or such personnel are not available. In these circumstances, the Group enters into part-time employment or collaboration arrangements with the respective staff. The type of contractual arrangement between the Group and its medical staff depends on various criteria, such as the professional context or the time that the medical staff can allocate to services provided to the Group. Medical staff under services agreements are seen by the Group as commercial partners, providing services to the Group as independent contractors, in compliance with the applicable legislation.
The Group seeks to provide adequate compensation and incentives to physicians and other medical staff in exchange for quality medical care and commitments to promote the MedLife Group business model. The usual compensation package offered by the Group to its employees includes fixed remuneration, to which a variable remuneration is added, determined based on a revenue sharing mechanism connected to appointment and consulting activity. Collaborators are compensated based on their appointment and consulting activity.
Collaborators are rewarded according to their number of appointments and consultations. The Group does not operate retirement plans or long-term benefit plans.
The Group invests in human resources programs such as the Life Academy, Good Practice - Nurses School, the Medlife National Conference. These training programs are designed to ensure the professional continuation of its employees, both those in support and administrative staff, as well as those in the medical setting.
As for the relationship with colleagues, the Group provides a safe working environment in which employees are treated fairly and with respect, and the differences between employees are accepted. The Group is committed to providing colleagues with the opportunity to excel and reach their full potential and reward them on a merit basis.
The Group does not tolerate any discrimination, intimidation or harassment of colleagues or between them. The Group encourages clear and open communication with and between colleagues. They can and must promptly express any concerns about any unethical or illegal behaviour by presenting these concerns to the human resources department within the Group. The Group undertakes to investigate such concerns brought to good faith, maintaining the confidentiality of these steps.
Quality Standards
MedLife has implemented the following standards for Quality, Environment and Occupational Health & Safety management systems:
- ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Assessment) through which the organization demonstrates that it has identified the risks and acts to eliminate or limit their effects, which may have a negative impact on the quality management system's ability to achieve the desired results, and a negative impact on customer satisfaction.

The completion of these procedures is subject to various requirements, such as the performance of certain works and upgrades to the Group's facilities. The Group regards the amounts of the required investments as being immaterial; however, the completion of the necessary works and upgrades is subject to, in certain cases, additional authorizations and clearances, or other procedures in which the Group has engaged. As at December 31, 2020, the Company does not have all fire prevention authorizations in place.

- Innovation: The Medlife Group has a constant concern about methods, technology and organization that will result in better and more effective medical solutions;
- Care and respect: Every patient is important and respected, and everyone's needs are treated with care and attention.
More technological advances have allowed medicine to evolve to minimally invasive techniques that expose patients to low risks and allow for a faster recovery period. In developed countries, it is common practice for many years: patients to be able to go home without requiring over-night hospitalization. In 2005, MedLife was the first to introduce this concept to the Romanian market. MedLife has created space in hospitals and hyper clinics, where patients can benefit from minimally invasive techniques.
MedLife concept "We Make Romania Well" started with the desire to bring good in Romania in as many forms, not just in health and in the medical system. Thus, Medlife Group has developed and supported a number of projects, events and ideas for the well-being of employees or healthcare professionals at the beginning. The Group also organized or participated in medical events where doctors from the country or from abroad had the opportunity to share new knowledge, technologies or procedures.
InfoLine magazine
The InfoLine magazine supports Medlife Group's patients with information and articles about common illnesses, new technologies implemented in the Group's units, new perspectives and interviews with medical staff.

Pro-bono cases
Medlife's commitment remains to treat and help patients in need of interventions, regardless of the environment they come from or their financial situation. Whether it's light or serious, MedLife doctors handle cases brought by humanitarian foundations or identified cases by the Group's employees.
The MedLive platform
In order to reduce the phenomenon of self-diagnosis and auto-medication and to encourage correct information, directly from the doctor, MedLife launched the MedLive.ro online platform. The MedLive platform is an education platform for MedLife patients as well as for doctors or medical students. In the eight years since the platform was launched, users were able not only to keep up-to-date with the latest news about prevention or maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, but also to interact directly with MedLife doctors.
Good for the Environment - The Green Project for Romania
The Green project, together with every action taken by MedLife, is the essence of the brand. And this time, besides respecting the promise of a quality medical act and excellence proven to every patient, the campaign is MedLife's desire to get even more involved in the future of new generations.

8. Risk exposures
Capital risk
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings from bank and IFC and also financial leasing, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group's risk management reviews the capital structure regularly. As a part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the
payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
Market risk
The Group's activities expose it primarily to foreign exchange rate risks. There were no changes in the Group's exposure to market risks or the way they manage and assess their risk.
Foreign exchange rate risk
The Group operates and carries out transactions denominated in various currencies. The management analyses the exposure to currency risk and takes the necessary measures to protect itself.
Interest rate risk
The management of the Group analyses the financial costs of borrowing from banks and financial leasing and takes the necessary measures to protect itself against interest rate risk.
Credit risk
The financial assets that might expose the Group to a credit risk concentration mainly consist of receivables (trade receivables and similar receivables). Given the large number of clients of the Group, credit risk is rather limited.
The Group has also developed certain procedures to assess legal entities as customers prior to signing contracts, aimed at providing preventive and prophylactic health care packages (PPMs) and monitoring their ability to meet the payments during the course of contracts.
Liquidity risk/ cash flow risk
The Group's policy is to maintain sufficient liquidities to pay for its obligations when such become due.
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has set up an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to manage short, medium and long-term funding requirements and liquidity management.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining reserves, continuously monitoring the estimated and effective cash flows and reconciling the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
Fiscal environment
The taxation system in Romania is still developing and is subject to various interpretations and constant changes, which may sometimes be retroactive. Although the actual tax due for a transaction may be minimum, delay interests may be significant, as they can be calculated at the value of the transaction and at a rate of 0.02% per day (interest) and 0.01% (penalties) per day.
In Romania the statute of limitation for tax controls (audits) is of 5 years. Management believes that the tax obligations included in these financial statements are adequate.
Transfer pricing
The fiscal legislation from Romania includes the "market value" principle, according to which the transactions between related parties have to be performed at the market value. The local tax payers, who carry transactions with related parties, have to prepare and make available to the tax authorities from Romania, at their written request, the transfer pricing documentation file. If the companies do not prepare the documentation or they present an incomplete transfer pricing file may attract penalties for nonconformity, and additionally to the information presented in the transfer pricing file, the fiscal authorities may have a different interpretation of the transactions and the circumstances compared to the management's assessment and, as a result, they may impose additional fiscal obligations as a result of adjusting transfer prices. The management of the Group is confident that, if required, they will submit the necessary information in due time to the fiscal authorities. The transactions with related parties and group companies are performed based on the market value principle.
Litigation
The Group is involved in various litigations as part of normal course of business. Management has assessed the legal status together with the Group's legal advisors and all necessary adjustments have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
9. Subsequent events
Actions implemented to prevent and limit the spread of COVID-19
The MedLife Medical System, the largest operator of medical services in Romania, has implemented, from the first alert day on limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) virus in Romania, a series of prevention and protection measures for patients. and to the medical and auxiliary staff, focusing on preventing factors that could represent a danger of infection for all those in the medical units.
In all MedLife units, the methodology of surveillance of the acute respiratory system was implemented, and at the moment, the company ensures a good continuity of the medical activity. Epidemiological triage of patients through call-centers and medical teams, special circuits for patients with acute respiratory pathology, adaptation of consultation intervals to increase patient safety (allocating time needed to disinfect spaces after interaction with each patient), creating special spaces for isolating cases suspected of infectious diseases, the provision of protective equipment and disinfectant products, but also the development of complex procedures of cleaning, disinfection and nebulization are only part of the important measures that have been taken and that the special medical teams follow and manage them properly.
Regarding the operational segment, the administrative and support staff, the MedLife Medical System has implemented a Continuity of Activity Plan, the safety of the employees being a priority. The measures consist in dividing the key employees into two teams and avoiding physical interaction between them, but also the remote activity, both ensuring a good continuity of the company's activity. Also, all the events scheduled at the group level in the following period were suspended, and they will revert to them when exposure in the public space will no longer represent a risk to human health.
The MedLife Medical System actively monitors the economic situation in Romania and the possible negative implications on its current operations, at present, there are reductions in the activity determined by the social distance measures, imposed by the public authorities as measures to limit the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (Coronavirus). Despite the diminished activity, the company has taken all necessary measures to maintain good continuity of medical activity in all MedLife clinics and hospitals, taking priority over medical staff and colleagues in the front line and studying the compensation of these turbulences by reducing the short-term overhead costs.
The priority of the MedLife Medical System remains the health of patients and employees, fully respecting the decisions of the local authorities.
The Company assessed the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic over its business and concluded that the financial statements will not be significantly affected by this event. Even though, we currently can't properly evaluate the consequences of this pandemic considering the dynamics in the evolution, the Company doesn't expect a major impact on its activity in the future based on information available to the management at the date of this report.
Greenfield acquisition and investment plans
MedLife Medical System announces its intention to increase its existing facilities by 40 million euros by signing a syndicated loan, the discussions being already advanced with the banks. Depending on the opportunities, other important liquidities of the company will be added to this increase, as appropriate. The bank union that would sign the new loan consists of Banca Comercială Română, as coordinator, main arranger, documentation agent, facility and guarantee agent and financier, BRD Groupe Société Générale, Banca Transilvania and Raiffeisen Bank, as of main arrangers and funders.
The new funds will be dedicated to consolidating and expanding the group nationwide, by developing medical units such as MedPark, where the patient benefits from a 360-degree approach both in terms of the complexity of the medical act and the quality of adjacent services. Major emphasis will be placed on the development of programs and projects in a pandemic context, projects related to prevention, oncology and medical radiotherapy, technology and digitization, the main objective being the needs of the patient caring for his health and wanting to solve his needs efficiently, quickly and safely. According to company representatives, the amount is not intended to complete ongoing acquisitions for which MedLife has sufficient liquidity. At the same time, the company aims to continue the research efforts, and even to intensify them through new investments in the new year.

Other information- Individual Administrator's Report
- The administrators are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the other information. The other information comprises the individual Administrators' report, but does not include the individual financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the individual financial statements does not cover the other information and, unless otherwise explicitly mentioned in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the individual financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Administrator's report, we read it and report if this has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.
On the sole basis of the procedures performed within the audit of the individual financial statements, in our opinion:
- a) the information included in the administrators' report for the financial year for which the individual financial statements have been prepared is consistent, in all material respects, with these individual financial statements;
- b) the individual administrators' report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU;
Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the individual financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2020, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this individual Administrator's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual Financial Statements
-
- Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with Order 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-
- In preparing the individual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
-
- Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual financial statements.
-
- As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the individual financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the individual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
-
- We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
-
- From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the individual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

*In May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) that provides practical relief to lessees in accounting for rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19, by introducing a practical expedient to IFRS 16. The practical expedient permits a lessee to elect not to assess whether a COVID19-related rent concession is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election shall account for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19-related rent concession the same way it would account for the change applying IFRS 16 if the change were not a lease modification.
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and only if all of the following conditions are met:
a) The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
b) Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021 (a rent concession meets this condition if it results in reduced lease payments on or before 30 June 2021 and increased lease payments that extend beyond 30 June 2021); and
c) There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
In the current financial year, the Group has applied the amendment to IFRS 16 (as issued by the IASB in May 2020) in advance of its effective date.
The practical expedient has been applied to all qualifying rent concessions received for buildings. The management elected not to apply the practical expedient for rent concessions received for vehicles. Please see Note 16 for the impact recognized in profit or loss that arise from rent concessions to which the Group (lessee) has applied the practical expedient.
2.2 Standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by IASB and adopted by the EU but not yet effective
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following amendments to the existing standards were issued by IASB and adopted by the EU and which are not yet effective:
- Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9" adopted by the EU on 16 December 2020 (the expiry date for the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 was extended from 1 January 2021 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 16 "Leases" - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 adopted by the EU on 13 January 2021 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021).
2.3 New standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU
At present, IFRS as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not endorsed for use in EU as at 31 December 2020 (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS as issued by IASB):
- IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016) - the European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard,
- IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" including amendments to IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
- Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" Proceeds before Intended Use (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022),
- Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022);
- Amendments to various standards due to "Improvements to IFRSs (cycle 2018 -2020)" resulting from the annual improvement project of IFRS (IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41) primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording (The amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9 and IAS 41 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, so no effective date is stated.).
The Company anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.
Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Company's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these individual financial statements of the Company are set out below.
3.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards for Financial Reporting ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union ("EU").
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1st 2020.
Additionally, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Order 2844/2016 for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards
as adopted by EU with subsequent amendments.
3.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
These financial statements have been prepared to serve the Company as statutory financial statements.
The Company maintains its accounting records in Romanian Lei ("RON") and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with the Regulations on Accounting and Reporting issued by the Ministry of Finance in Romania. The accompanying financial statements are based on the statutory records of the individual entities and have been adjusted to present the financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
3.3 Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company will continue its activity according to the normal course of business in the foreseeable future without encountering the impossibility of continuing its activity or without the significant decrease of its activity.
For the purposes of assessing liquidity and going concern, the Company has modelled scenarios reflecting suitable assumptions over the next 12–month period that serve to inform the decisions the Company takes regarding future cost savings, cash generation, debt covenants and levels of investment. The Company's financial performance to date in FY21 across all divisions has been ahead of the modelled scenarios.
In addition, due to the proactive response taken by the Company to improve its liquidity position, since the beginning of the pandemic crisis, the cashflows of the Company have remained stable, demonstrating the financial discipline across the Company and the conservative approach taken when modelling scenarios.
As part of the Company's proactive response to maintaining its liquidity position and optimising its response to the crisis, a broad range of consequent actions was taken including:
• All non-urgent and non-committed capital programmes have been postponed or reduced during the initial months of the pandemic;
• Non-essential administrative costs generally and relating to projects specifically have been postponed or reduced;
• Measures have been taken to further optimise working capital management;
• Lease amortisation payments have been deferred, where possible;
• Decreasing the working hours for key administrative staff from 5 to 4 working days;
• Negotiation with providers, considered "not mandatory" for the Med Life in order to suspend the collaboration for a defined period of time.
• The Management of the Company reassessed the serving capacity of all business units and readjusted their medical infrastructure to the new market requirements. In this respect, all business units went through a market repositioning process that allowed them to address more efficiently customers' needs as a result of population's change of approach in relation to post Covid medical services.
All measures taken have been decided upon having in mind the Company's strategy to better position itself to all the new market changes, on the long term. As a consequence, the management focused on increasing efficiency of its operations in order to obtain better flexibility over capitalizing market opportunities.
Additional mitigating steps were implemented, such as further reductions in fixed operating costs, rent waivers and government intervention packages.
In response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020 the Romanian authorities
introduced a government program for companies that were forced to shut down their operations and furlough staff. Under the program, an eligible company could apply for this in an amount up to a level of 75% of the average salary per economy, to continue paying monthly salaries to its furloughed employees. The measure taken by Med Life was to reduce costs in connection with support departments by sending non-critical staff into technical unemployment. The costs were borne by the Romanian Government up to a level of 75% of the average salary per economy; for salaries that exceeded the average in the economy, the difference was borne by Med Life.
Also, Med Life has made a 50% reduction of the salaries of the management team for a period of 45 days (from March 16 to April 30). The impact was not quantified, being considered insignificant as a share in operating expenses.
Another support measure during the state alert is the settlement for the sanitary units with beds in contractual relationship with the National Health Insurance Houses of the amounts contracted and settled from the budget of the Single National Health Insurance Fund or from the budget of the Ministry of Health, regardless the number of cases performed or, as the case may be, at the level of the activity actually performed in the conditions in which it exceeds the contracted level (Document no. 195/2020, Chapter III / Art. 17 / c)).
These steps have provided additional support to the liquidity analysis and modelled scenarios.
Going forward, the management has assessed the continuity of such measures and included this scenario in the financial modelling of the Company concluding that all cost cutting measures are replicable for the future periods and will continue to release margin into the Company's cashflows.
Based on the Company's current financial position and the modelled scenarios, the directors have concluded that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all its obligations for at least the twelve months from the date of this report and the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
3.4 Accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenue and expenses for the period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Impact of COVID 19 in respect of untaken holidays balance
In order to mitigate the effects generated by COVID 19, the Company took a series of measures to protect the business and address potential liquidity management risks by applying a series of cost cutting measures in relation to personnel costs and enrolled a significant number of its personnel into technical unemployment procedures. As a side effect, but also generated by the long period of lock down measures applied by the Romanian government, the demand for vacation leaves has decreased significantly within the Company during 2020. As a result, the management decided to take on a prudent approach in terms of provisioning untaken holidays and recognized a provision of RON 2.3 million as at December, 31 2020.
Impact of COVID 19 in respect of IFRS 9
The Company observed that the medical crisis has determined a slowdown in collection of its receivables as a result of the working capital challenges encountered by its clients.
In order to counter this risk, the management decided to apply a prudent approach to future cashflows an recognized an allowance for bad and doubtful debts of RON 6.8 million as at December, 31 2020.
3.5 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Romanian Leu ("RON"), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (its "functional currency").
The exchange rates on December 31, 2020 were RON 4.8694 for EUR 1 (December 31, 2019: RON 4.7793 for EUR 1), respectively 1.3356 for HUF 100 (December 31, 2019: RON 1.4459 for 100 HUF). The average exchange rates for the period of 12 months 2020 were 4.8276 RON for 1 EUR (12 months 2019: 4.7454 RON for 1 EUR), respectively 1.3777 RON for 100 HUF (12 months 2019: 1.4589 for 100 HUF).
The monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency as of reporting date have been converted from EUR to RON at the closing exchange rate as announced by the National Bank of Romania.
3.6 Correction of error
The comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
Implementation of IFRS 16
Given its large and complex operations, the Company leases a significant number of assets including buildings and land for operational activities, medical equipment and vehicles. Contractual periods differ, depending on the lease type and the leased asset, the driver being the strategic point of view the Company has into further managing its asset portfolio.
As a result of the pandemic crisis, the Company commenced the process of securing its strategic facilities under lease agreements, for longer periods of time. Accordingly, several major lease agreements have been renegotiated with focus on better commercial conditions for the Company, in terms of both pricing and better security over extension options for the lease agreements.
In addition to this approach, the management decided to purchase many of its prior-leased locations in order to secure the Company growth in line with its strategic plan. All these aspects were reflected when accounting for leased properties under IFRS 16, by also restating the opening balance, for comparability reasons.
In this respect, the management has evaluated its options for early termination as well as the existence of the Company single triggered decision to extend the lease term, on a case-by-case basis.
In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or to exercise a termination option, have been considered.
The Company has also reclassified "Materna" vouchers from Cash and cash equivalents to Other financial assets due to the fact that their convertibility in cash exceeds more than three months and some grants were reclassified from short term to long term. For details, please see note 8 – Cash and banks.

3.7 Investments in subsidiaries
Med Life has significant investments in subsidiaries. The investments are accounted for at cost less impairment. Management conducts testing annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment to assess whether any impairment losses should be recognized.
3.8 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings held for use in the supply of services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The lands and constructions held for sale for the provision of services or for administrative purposes are recorded in the balance sheet at the revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The value of the land and buildings held presented in these financial statements is established on the basis of the evaluation reports prepared on December 31, 2019 by independent evaluators certified by ANEVAR. The reassessment is carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the Company presents the land and buildings at fair value in the financial statements.
Expenses for repairs and maintenance are recognized in the profit or loss account at the time of their execution. Costs with capital repairs are included in the book value of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits above the initially evaluated standard of performance of the existing asset will be transferred to the Company. Capital renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful period of the respective asset. The land is not depreciated.
Installations and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Assets under construction are recorded at cost, less accumulated impairment losses and moved to tangible assets once they become available for use.
The depreciation is calculated at the values of the tangible assets by the linear method up to the estimated residual values of the assets. Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, and the effects of changes in estimates are recorded prospectively.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
| Buildings | 10 – 50 years |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 3 – 15 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | 3 – 15 years |
Years
3.9 Assets held under finance leases
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
3.10 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company's intangible assets are represented by software licenses which are depreciated straight-line over a period of three years.
De-recognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
3.11 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises of all the costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, being valued on a first in first out basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The Company applies FIFO as a costing method.
3.12 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration (transaction price) that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
Med Life recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
Med Life always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on this financial asset are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
Write-off policy
Med Life writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g., when the debtor has been
placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Med Life's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Med Life recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all trade receivables with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Interest revenue
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the "finance income - interest revenue" line item.
3.13 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
3.14 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Med Life's statement of financial position when the Med Life becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component which are measured at transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost: • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the creditimpaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "finance income - interest revenue" line item.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The carrying amount of financial assets that are denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. Specifically, for financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the 'other financial expenses' line item.
Impairment of financial assets accounting policy is presented in note 3.12.
Derecognition of financial assets
Med Life derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If Med Life neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, Med Life recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If Med Life retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, Med Life continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense (or income) over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability (or asset), or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of financial asset or amortized cost of financial liability.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments. These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the 'other financial expenses' line item in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings, pending their expenditure on qualifying assets, is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
3.15 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the combined income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity.
3.16 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Med Life presents in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements the amount of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period and the related amount of dividends per share.
3.17 Share premiums
Share premiums are own funds created as a result of the difference between the issue value of the shares and the nominal value of the shares. The Company recorded share premiums as a result of the issue of shares.
3.18 Revaluation reserve
The increases in the fair value of land and buildings are recorded against revaluation reserves. Any decreases in the fair value of land and buildings are first deducted from the revaluation reserves and then the difference is recorded through profit and loss accounts. The revaluation is performed with sufficient regularity as to ensure that the Company presents land and buildings at fair value in the financial statements.
3.19 Provisions for risks and charges
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event and it is probable that there will be a future outflow of resources in order to extinguish this liability. Provisions for risks and charges are assessed at the end of each period and adjusted in order to present management's best estimate.
3.20 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised over time where (i) there is a continuous transfer of control to the customer; or (ii) there is no alternative use for any asset created and there is an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Other revenue contracts are recognised at a point in time when control of the service transfers to the customer. Contract assets are advances received from customers. The Company does not operate loyalty programs.
The Company provides health care medical services to corporate and retail customers, in which one performance obligation is a promise to transfer distinct services to the beneficiary.
The Company's core activities are conducted through five business lines, providing a well-balanced business portfolio that covers all key segments of the private medical services market. Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by business line comprises the following major categories: clinics, stomatology, hospitals, laboratories and corporate.
The Company's business and revenue model focuses on the spending power of corporations and private individuals on medical services, while the State's contribution through the National Health Insurance House represents a complement, not the core revenue of Med Life's activities. However, the National Health Insurance House is considered to be one major customer that goes across multiple sectors such as: clinics, hospitals and laboratories, and from which the Company receives the consideration based on reaching pre-established ceilings, for the medical services provided to the State's insured patients, which are the end users of the healthcare medical services. The revenue in relation with NHIH is recognised at the end of the month, when the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed up to date, as the end user receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance as the entity performs.
Clinics
The core of the Company's operations is the network of ambulatory clinics. The business line comprises a network of 75 facilities, which offer a wide range of outpatient services covering a broad range of medical specialties. The Company's diagnostic imaging services provided to clients other
than hospital inpatients also form part of this business line. The Company's clinics provide a wide range of services delivered mainly in two formats:
- Hyper clinics, a format pioneered by Med Life in Romania, consisting of large facilities with at least 20 medical offices and surface areas in excess of 1,000 sqm. It is a one-stop-shop for clinical examinations and imaging. This format is designed for larger urban areas, with a population over 175,000. Hyper clinics would usually include a broad range of imaging services on site including radiology, bone density – DEXA, CT, MRI, 2D-4D ultrasounds and Mammography; in the case of new openings, such services may be included in the hyper clinics' offering gradually. Hyper clinic locations also host the services of other business lines, such as sampling points for laboratories.
- Clinics, offering a range of treatments from general practitioner services to specialists, are aimed at servicing the core needs of the Med Life's HPP patients and FFS clients. The Med Life's clinics typically have between 5 and 12 medical offices, although smaller satellite clinics are in operation to address specific market situations. Clinics are designed for smaller cities or to serve specific concentrations of patients. Clinics, with limited capacity and generally limited imaging services, act as feeder networks for the more specialized services located in the hyper clinics.
Stomatology
The Company's Dentistry business line offers a full range of services, ranging from medical examinations to surgery, implants or orthodontic services.
Stomatology business line is not subject to NHIH allocations. All of the sales are fee for service ("FFS") based, and the revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Laboratories
The Laboratories business line provides the following range of services: biochemistry, pathological anatomy (cytology and histology), molecular biology and genetics, haematology, immunology, microbiology and toxicology. Sampling points are locations where the Med Life collects blood and other samples from patients. The Laboratories business line sources the bulk of its revenue from FFS clients, and the revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied. One exception is when the Company provides laboratory tests to other companies' employees and the revenue is recognised at the end of the month, when the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed up to date.
Hospitals
Hospital services provided to patients are regarded as a bundle of services which comprise accommodation, meals, use of equipment, pharmacy stock and nursing services. This is considered to be a single performance obligation as the medical procedures cannot be performed without one of the above elements.
Revenue is recorded during the period in which the hospital service is provided and is based on the amounts due from patients. Fees are calculated and billed based on various tariff agreements.
The Hospitals business line derives its revenue predominantly from FFS patients. Treatment of State insured patients for the NHIH, generally relates to maternity, gynaecology, cardiology and oncology.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised service to the patient and the payment by the patient exceeds one year. Consequently, Med Life does not adjust any of the transaction prices for time value of money.
Corporate
The Corporate business line offers HPPs (health prevention packages) on a subscription basis, generally to corporate clients, as part of the benefit packages for their employees. These programs, which focus on prevention, such as regular check-ups and access to diagnostic services, complement the legally required occupational health services that corporate client's contract from Med Life as the Standard HPP.
The HPPs offered by Med Life consist of the following:
- Mandatory occupational health services, which mainly include the provision of annual employee check-ups and more specific services depending on the client's industry. Many companies begin by purchasing occupational health services under the "Standard" HPP and then add benefits under broader HPPs from the same provider for certain or all of their employees, providing an upselling opportunity for the occupational health provider.
- More general, "prevention oriented" health plans, providing expanded access to general practitioners and certain specialists in the Med Life's clinics and as well as specified laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging for higher end packages. The specific services vary depending on the type of package.
The revenue in relation with corporate customers is recognized over time. Under the output method, the entity would measure completion of the total performance obligation either in relation to the total obligation that has been satisfied or in relation to what remains to be satisfied, based on health prevention packages delivered.
Contract assets and liabilities
A contract asset (accrued income) is the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer. Where the Company transfers services to a customer over time before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration to date under the contract. Contract assets are presented within trade and other receivables (Note 7 – Trade receivables) on the Company Balance Sheet and are expected to be realized in less than one year.
A contract liability (deferred income) is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. Where the customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract. Contract liabilities are presented within trade and other payables (Note 11 – Account payables) on the Company Balance Sheet.
Using the practical expedient in IFRS 15, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised service to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less. All the contracts are under one year.
Contracts are for periods of less than one year or are billed based on services incurred. As permitted under IFRS 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not disclosed.
3.21 Employee benefits
The Company, in the normal course of business, makes payments to the Romanian State on behalf of its employees for social, pensions, health care and unemployment cover. The cost of these payments is charged to the income statement in the same period as the related salary cost. All employees of the Company are members of the Romanian State pension plan. The Company does not operate any other pension scheme.
Bonus schemes
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense where a contractual obligation exists for shortterm incentives.
The amounts payable to employees in respect of the short-term incentive schemes are determined based on annual business performance targets.
3.22 Fair value
Certain accounting policies of the Company and information presentation criteria require determination of the fair value both for the assets and the liabilities of the Company. In determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses as much as possible observable market
values. Fair values are classified on various levels based on inputs used in valuation techniques, as follows:
- Level 1: (unadjusted) quoted prices on active markets for identical assets and liabilities
- Level 2: inputs, other than the prices included in level 1, which are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly (e.g.: prices) or indirectly (e.g.: derived from prices)
- Level 3: inputs for evaluation of assets and liabilities which are not based on observable market data.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the note 5.1 Land and buildings carried at fair value.
3.23 IFRS 8
IFRS 8 disclosures are meant to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.
An operating segment is a component of an entity:
- (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity),
- (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and
- (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
Med Life considers that all the business activities from which it earns revenues are intertwined and that the main business activity represents one segment- the rendering of medical services.
3.24 IFRS 16 "Leases"
The Company leases various buildings, equipment, vehicles and other assets. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor.
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company - except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. Payments associated with shortterm leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
- The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
- Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option; and
- Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security
and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses recent third-party financing received by the lessee as a starting point and adjusts the rate to reflect changes in financing conditions since the third-party financing was received.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
• The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
• The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
• A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
- Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives;
- Any initial direct costs; and
- Restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position
The Company applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the 'Property, Plant and Equipment' policy. Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.
As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Company has used this practical expedient.
3.25 Subsequent events
The effect of significant subsequent events, after the reporting period, which supplies additional information regarding the financial position of the Company and require adjustments are reflected in the balance sheet or profit and loss, if the case. The significant events that do not require adjustments are disclosed in the notes of the separate financial statements.
3.26 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In applying the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the management is required to make judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are presented separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.
Critical judgements in assessing the impairment of financial assets
When accounting for its investments in subsidiaries, the Company's management has concluded that the investments shall be maintained and presented at cost. Please refer to Note 3.7 – Investments in subsidiaries.
Critical judgements in assessing the impairment of non-financial assets
Please refer to Note 5 – Tangible and intangible fixed assets.
Critical judgements in determining the fair value of land and buildings
The Company accounts for land and building using the fair value approach based on market comparative valuations performed by certified ANEVAR professional as per revaluation reports concluded as at 31 December 2019. The valuations conform to International Valuation Standards. As at 31 December 2020, the management has not identified any indication that would conclude the need of revaluating its land and buildings for any impairment.
For further details, please see Note 5.1 – Land and buildings carried at fair value.
Critical judgements in assessing revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 3.20 – Revenue recognition.
Critical judgements in determining the lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
For leases of buildings, cars and equipment, the following factors are normally the most relevant:
• If there are significant penalty payments to terminate (or not extend), the group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
• Otherwise, the group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.
• If the Company considers that some of the lease agreement shall be terminated earlier, then the assumption of the tenor shall be reassessed accordingly in order to fairly represent the management's view of the leased asset's impact to the Financial Statements.
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Calculation of loss allowance
The Company always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on this financial asset are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
In determining adjustments for impairment of receivables, management incorporates forwardlooking information, exercises professional judgment and uses estimates and assumptions. Estimation of expected credit risk losses involved forecasting future macroeconomic conditions for the next 2 years. More details on the assumptions, scenarios used and the weights assigned to each scenario can be found in Note 7 dedicated to accounts receivables.
The incorporation of forward-looking elements reflects the expectations of the Company and involves the creation of scenarios, including an assessment of the probabilities of materialization of each scenario.

| The fair value of the freehold land was determined based on the market price comparison method as well as the residual method. The resulting value was based on the market comparison method. |
||||
| The fair value of the buildings was determined using the cost approach that reflects the cost to a market participant to construct assets of comparable utility and age, adjusted for obsolescence and the revenue based approach (capitalizing the net income from rents). The final value that resulted is the one that derives from the application of the method by cost. |

The trademark used to identify and distinguish the medical services, customer list, contract advantages have an indefinite useful life. The Company intends to use these intangibles continuously and evidence supports its ability to do so. An analysis of market and competitive trends provides evidence that the services will generate net cash inflows for the group for an indefinite period. Therefore, the intangibles are carried at cost without amortisation, but is tested for impairment. The useful life for trademarks, customers list and contract advantages cannot be reasonably estimated as they intend to generate future benefits over the period which the company is expected to continue its activity. The capitalized cost for intangible assets recognized during the year is already included in the other intangible assets on the balance sheet – for further details please see note 20 - Other operating revenues.
5.2. Assets pledged as securities

| Credit risk for the Company primarily relates to trade receivables in the ordinary course business. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Customers' compliance with agreed credit terms is monitored regularly and closely. Where payments are delayed by customers, steps are taken to restrict access to services or contracts are terminated. Certain customers, which are public or quasi-public institutions, may have longer payment terms and services may be continued to be delivered when amounts are overdue due to management's assessment of a lower credit risk. |
|||
| The average receivable period for the services offered is 95 days. There is no interest on commercial receivables within the first 95 days from the date of issue of the invoice. |
|||
| The carrying amount of financial assets, measured at amortised cost, represents the maximum credit exposure. There are no credit enhancements or collateral held that would offset such amounts. As the customer base of the Company is very diverse there are generally no large concentrations of credit risk. |
|||
| The Company applies the simplified approach for providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. No ECL has been recognised for other financial assets carried at amortised cost as there is no related credit risk. |

In contract assets, in 2019 and 2020, is included a debt of RON 7,365,835 which represents amounts receivable from the Health Insurance House of the Municipality of Bucharest, not yet invoiced. The company has commenced court proceedings against the Health Insurance House of Bucharest. The management of the Company is confident that the amount will be recovered in the end, but considering the unfavourable decisions of the courts in similar cases, the Company has decided to register a value adjustment for the entire amount.
The Company applies the simplified approach for providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables which are
collectively analysed. No ECL has been recognised for other financial assets carried at amortised cost as there is no related credit risk.
A provision matrix was prepared based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables resulting in an ECL reflecting the predictive risk by type of customer. Changes in economic conditions were also considered as part of forward-looking information.
Estimating adjustments doubtful receivables involves forecasting future macroeconomic conditions for the next 2 years. The incorporation of forward-looking elements reflects the Company's expectations and involves the creation of scenarios (baseline, optimistic, pessimistic), including an assessment of the probability of materialization of each scenario. The applied macroeconomic scenarios were modified compared to those used in 2019 to reflect the worsening macroeconomic outlook amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 31 December 2020 Current <30 days < 90 days <180 days <365 days >365 days Total Expected credit loss rate 0.66% 21.89% 28.91% 36.41% 42.94% 62.69% Gross carying amount 17,667,031 606,207 603,497 516,202 1,152,141 19,472,675 40,017,753 Loss allowance 132,710 117,258 174,458 187,967 494,702 12,207,935 13,315,029 31 December 2019 Current <30 days < 90 days <180 days <365 days >365 days Total Expected credit loss rate 0.57% 11.61% 16.64% 22.23% 28.39% 35.41% Gross carying amount 16,292,211 774,004 452,837 598,463 1,089,667 18,655,889 37,863,070 Loss allowance 89,856 92,270 75,353 133,008 309,399 6,606,722 7,306,608
The scenarios used were: the baseline scenario, the optimistic scenario and the pessimistic scenario. The scenario coefficients are determined based on the manager's expectations, taking into account the possible representative results for each scenario. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was used as a macroeconomic factor considered statistically relevant for the analysed trade receivables.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.
Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, short-term deposits, trade and other receivables. The Company's cash equivalents and short-term deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions with a high credit rating.
Trade receivables are represented net of the allowance for expected credit losses. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base, which consists mainly of both individuals and companies. Around 61% of the total sales are cashbased with remaining being based on issuance of invoices.
The financial condition of these customers in relation to their credit standing is evaluated on an ongoing basis.
The Company has also developed certain procedures to assess legal entities as customers prior to signing contracts, aimed at providing preventive and prophylactic health care packages (PPMs) and monitoring their ability to meet the payments during the course of contracts. Also, the Company has established an internal Collection department which actively monitors encashments received from customers.
The gross carrying amounts of financial assets (before credit loss allowances) included in the statement of financial position represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these assets. At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Company did not consider there to be a significant concentration of credit risk. The Company has only 10% of its sales during 2020 deriving from the treatment of NHIH insured patients (concentration of credit risk) – reliance on major customers. Please see note 7 – Trade receivables, for further details regarding credit risks of trade and other receivables and also note 3.17 Trade receivables, for further details of accounting policies used by the Group.
(c) Financial risk management objectives
The Company's Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
(d) Market risk
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (g) below).
There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.
(e) Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The higher risk is represented by funds borrowed in the national currency, because the interest rates are periodically repriced based on index variation.
Lease contracts concluded in the national currency are also exposed due to the above repricing process, as the discount rate in this case is linked to the internal borrowing rates for funds withdrawn in the national currency.
The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for interest bearing financial instruments at the reporting date. Out of the total outstanding balances for both borrowings and leases only the amounts that refers to the Club loan and lease contracts (which refer to rent of buildings, equipment and vehicles) have been considered for the sensitivity on interest rate computation. These amounts which were included in the analysis cover more than 80% of the total outstanding balances for both borrowings and leases.
A 10% per cent increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
The assumptions used have not changed from previous years.

MED LIFE S.A. | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| If interest rates had been 10% per cent higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2020 would decrease by RON 611,820 RON (2019: decrease with RON 464,786). This is mainly attributable to the Group's exposure to interest rates on its borrowings and leases. |

(f) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the Company's remaining contractual maturity for financial liabilities as of December 31, 2020. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay, the table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

(g) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments in the balance sheet include trade receivables and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term loans and trade and other payables. The estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts. The carrying amounts represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters through matching mechanism between assets and liabilities. Starting with 2020, the Company can withdraw money in the national currency from the credit facility available but not used, in order to limit foreign currency exposure.
Financial instruments that are not held at fair value
At level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company classified cash and cash equivalents as assets that are not held at fair value.
At level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company and the Bank classified in the category of assets: cash equivalents (maternity vouchers), trade and other receivables, other financial assets, and in the category of debt: loans from banks and other financial institutions, leasing debts, trade payables and other financial liabilities.

The Company is mainly exposed in respect of the exchange rate of the RON versus EUR. The above table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in RON against EUR. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.
If EUR is weakening 10% against RON, the profit will increase and the amount stated below will be positive. For a 10% strengthening of EUR against RON there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Fiscal environment
The taxation system in Romania is still developing and is subject to various interpretations and constant changes, which may sometimes be retroactive. Although the actual tax due for a transaction may be minimum, delay interests may be significant, as they can be calculated at the value of the transaction and at a rate of 0.02% per day (interest) and 0.01% (penalties) per day.
In Romania the statute of limitation for tax controls (audits) is of 5 years. Management believes that the tax obligations included in these financial statements are adequate.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Transfer pricing
The fiscal legislation from Romania includes the "market value" principle, according to which the transactions between related parties have to be performed at the market value. The local tax payers, who carry transactions with related parties, have to prepare and make available to the tax authorities from Romania, at their written request, the transfer pricing documentation file. If the companies do not prepare the documentation or they present an incomplete transfer pricing file may attract penalties for nonconformity, and additionally to the information presented in the transfer pricing file, the fiscal authorities may have a different interpretation of the transactions and the circumstances compared to the management's assessment and, as a result, they may impose additional fiscal obligations as a result of adjusting transfer prices. The management of the Company is confident that, if required, they will submit the necessary information in due time to the fiscal authorities. The transactions with related parties and group companies are performed based on the market value principle.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various litigations as part of normal course of business, Management has assessed the legal status together with the Company's legal advisors and all necessary adjustments have been recorded in the financial statements.

In all MedLife units, the methodology of surveillance of the acute respiratory system was implemented, and at the moment, the company ensures a good continuity of the medical activity. Epidemiological triage of patients through call-centres and medical teams, special circuits for patients with acute respiratory pathology, adaptation of consultation intervals to increase patient safety (allocating time needed to disinfect spaces after interaction with each patient), creating special spaces for isolating cases suspected of infectious diseases, the provision of protective equipment and disinfectant products, but also the development of complex procedures of cleaning, disinfection and nebulization are only part of the important measures that have been taken and that the special medical teams follow and manage them properly.
Regarding the operational segment, the administrative and support staff, the MedLife Medical System has implemented a Continuity of Activity Plan, the safety of the employees being a priority. The measures consist in dividing the key employees into two teams and avoiding physical interaction between them, but also the remote activity, both ensuring a good continuity of the company's activity. Also, all the events scheduled at Med Life level in the following period were suspended, and they will revert to them when exposure in the public space will no longer represent a risk to human health.
The MedLife Medical System actively monitors the economic situation in Romania and the possible negative implications on its current operations, at present, there are reductions in the activity determined by the social distance measures, imposed by the public authorities as measures to limit the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (Coronavirus). Despite the diminished activity, the company has taken all necessary measures to maintain good continuity of medical activity in all MedLife clinics and hospitals, taking priority over medical staff and colleagues in the front line and studying the compensation of these turbulences by reducing the short-term overhead costs.

6. Non-financial information
Overview
MedLife S.A. dedicates all its resources to ensure every client's professional medical services at the highest standards, based on state-of-the-art technological support, in impeccable safety and comfort conditions. The Company has been constantly developing based on the desire to meet the most demanding and complex medical services. The goal of the Company medical units is to improve the quality of life of every patient that use the company medical services. The access to MedLife S.A. services is facilitated by the integrated system in place consisting in: hospital, outpatient, laboratory, pharmacy, imaging and corporate subscriptions. As a result, MedLife has become the largest private healthcare provider nationwide based on Sales figures, and is making every effort to further address the needs of patients and to ensure the quality and safety of the medical act.
MedLife offers its services through the largest team of doctors and nurses working in the private sector in Romania, with about 3,000 doctors and 2,000 nurses. The Company employs full-time specialists for the vast majority of specialties offered, but also on a limited-time basis for specialties or specific functions, or works with collaborating medical staff. In addition, given its commitment to provide quality
medical services, the Company has consistently invested in medical equipment, which has helped sustain its market leadership in diagnostic imaging technology.
The Company enjoys a high level of satisfaction among patients, achieving a high score for the reputation of its brands among clients and an increasing number of patients is recommending the group services. The Company latest study reveals that MedLife is perceived as a brand that differentiates itself in particular through its openness and respect offered to its customers. The respect offered to the customer, and, at the same time, the efficacy and seriousness proved through the services makes MedLife to be perceived as a trustworthy partner that offers a sense of security.
MedLife received the title of "Most Trusted Brand" by Reader's Digest in the Private Clinics category in Romania for 6 consecutive years (2009-2015), 5 Superbrand Awards (including 2019), Qudal distinction in 2016 and 2017, and ICERTIAS certification for "Superior Excellence" after a study conducted in 2018.
The Company conducts weekly patient surveys to get their opinion on the healthcare provided, and the Mystery Shopper is organized biannually at the group level.
Business Model
Med Life's concept of Hyper clinics, large scale ambulatory clinics, as well as the integration of various segments provides substantial potential for revenue capture. For example, an HPP client visiting a Group clinic for a preventative check-up may be advised to undertake further tests or seek further consultations not covered by the HPP. These additional services or consultations are often available within the same Hyper clinic, facilitating the client to choose the Company's services. The Company's ability to accompany the patients in many cases from prevention to diagnosis through treatment provides a continuity of treatment for the patient as well as the capture of FFS revenue for the Company.
Sales largely from cash-pay and HPP with low dependency on National Health Houses ("NHIH") funding
Many private healthcare providers in Romania remain dependent for a significant portion of their sales on contracts awarded by the NHIH to service State insured patients. This increases their exposure to changes in the NHIH healthcare priorities, pricings and allocation systems. With only 10% of its sales during 2020 deriving from the treatment of NHIH insured patients, MedLife can independently determine its policies and priorities.
The largest number of HPP clients in Romania
With over 700,000 HPP subscribers as at 31 December 2020, Med Life has access to a significant potential client base for its FFS activities. This base is further expanded when the HPP subscribers bring family members and provide referrals to others for Med Life's FFS offering. The HPP client base also provides opportunities for up-selling as many of the HPP clients begin with basic medical services packages and gradually move to more comprehensive services.
The Company's continuous investments in new medical facilities set the basis for potential new HPP clients, as the Company's ability to service HPP subscribers in its own medical facilities is often key to the clients' purchasing decision. The market outside Bucharest remains, in Med Life's view, underdeveloped for HPP and as such represents an opportunity for further growth by acquiring and integrating local and regional providers, thus expanding its footprint on a regional level and increasing its appeal to HPP clients.
Experienced management able to generate and manage activity development both by organic growth and acquisitions
The Company's track record of organic and acquisition growth is largely due to the Company's strong management team. The Company has developed systems for screening potential acquisitions, completing detailed analysis and decision making in a timely manner, and implementing, post transaction, a fast and efficient integration process. The Company has a reputation in the market as a "friendly acquirer", mainly because the targets' founder/owners are often given the opportunity to stay in the business as minority shareholders, and managers of the subsidiary. Through this approach, MedLife retains their accumulated experience and market knowledge while being able to fully integrate the acquisition into its own systems and revenue capture opportunities. Moreover, by implementing the share buy-back and exchange program of shares with minority shareholders, MedLife encourages the
alignment of the interests and the contribution of the founders of the subsidiaries to the integrated activity of the group.
From 2010 until December 31, 2019, MedLife has acquired 53 companies (if the representatives of the Competition Council will approve Ced Pharma and Pharmachem Distributie - the last acquisitions announced by MedLife), thus gaining valuable expertise and knowledge for the Group, which will allow them to find the best method of continuous and efficient expansion.
Strategy and results
MedLife strategy focuses on maintaining leadership position. MedLife seeks to expand its portfolio of units and services, ensuring profitable national coverage to meet the needs of existing and new customers of the Company. At the same time, the Company remains committed to providing clients with safe and quality medical treatments, ensuring a balance between the medical risks and opportunities and the commercial objectives of the Group. Therefore, at the end of 2020, MedLife network include 22 hyper clinics, 53 clinics, 10 hospitals, 33 laboratories, 12 dental clinics and 14 pharmacies, MedLife being the only healthcare provider with large clinics with presence in all cities with over 150,000 inhabitants.
The Company is pursuing opportunities to capture additional revenues and achieve synergies within its current networks and services. The Company aims to achieve this goal through organic growth and the acquisition of smaller providers of medical services on the market. As a result of this strategy, over the past two years, MedLife has been characterized by significant increases in Sales from one reporting period to the next, as follows: an increase of 10.6% in 2018 as compared to 2017, reaching Sales of RON 419,850,605, an increase of 8.6% in 2019 as compared to 2018, reaching Sales of RON 456,165,019 in 2019 and an increase of 11.5% in 2020 as compared to 2019, reaching Sales of RON 508,823,190 in 2020.
The increase in Sales was accompanied by an increase in EBITDA in absolute values, as follows: an increase of 36.8% in absolute value in 2018 compared to 2017, reaching EBITDA of RON 16,900,968 RON, an increase of 29.7% in absolute value in 2019 compared to 2018, reaching EBITDA of RON 21,920,053, respectively an increase of 208% in absolute value in 2020 compared to 2019, reaching EBITDA of RON 45,593,301. The increase was also influenced by the implementation of IFRS 16, which restates rent expenses in financial expense and depreciation.
Organic growth
During the period 2014 – December 2020, the Company opened a number of new clinics and other facilities, particularly sampling points for its Laboratories business line. Many of these facilities are believed to still have the capacity to service greater numbers of patients, which should allow for the increase in their revenue and profit contribution, as they reach fuller utilization. Further, the Company continue to optimize the range of services offered at its other facilities to the specific local market conditions, seeking to improve the revenue and margins of each location. As a result, the constant and accelerated ramp-up of these facilities is expected to improve margins as well as deliver further sales growth.
People and resources
The Company services patients through the largest private pool of doctors and nurses in Romania. As of December 31, 2020, the Group, on an overall level, was collaborating with a number of approximately 3,000 physicians and 2,000 qualified nurses across its business lines, including both employees working exclusively for the Group and collaborators, providing services as independent professionals. In addition, more than 1,700 full time employees were working in support and administrative functions as of December 31, 2020.
The Company's objective is that its medical staff be formed exclusively of full-time employees, even if certain specialties and functions either do not justify full-time engagements or such personnel are not available. In these circumstances, the Company enters into part-time employment or collaboration arrangements with the respective staff. The type of contractual arrangement between the Group and its medical staff depends on various criteria, such as the professional context or the time that the medical staff can allocate to services provided to the Company. Medical staff under services agreements are seen by the Group as commercial partners, providing services to the Company as independent contractors, in compliance with the applicable legislation.
The Company seeks to provide adequate compensation and incentives to physicians and other medical staff in exchange for quality medical care and commitments to promote the MedLife business model. The usual compensation package offered by the Company to its employees includes fixed remuneration, to which a variable remuneration is added, determined based on a revenue sharing mechanism connected to appointment and consulting activity. Collaborators are compensated based on their appointment and consulting activity.
Collaborators are rewarded according to their number of appointments and consultations. The Company does not operate retirement plans or long-term benefit plans.
The Company invests in human resources programs such as the Life Academy, Good Practice- Nurses School, the Medlife National Conference. These training programs are designed to ensure the professional continuation of its employees, both those in support and administrative staff, as well as those in the medical setting.
As for the relationship with colleagues, the Company provides a safe working environment in which employees are treated fairly and with respect, and the differences between employees are accepted. The Company is committed to providing colleagues with the opportunity to excel and reach their full potential and reward them on a merit basis.
The Company does not tolerate any discrimination, intimidation or harassment of colleagues or between them. The group encourages clear and open communication with and between colleagues. They can and must promptly express any concerns about any unethical or illegal behaviour by presenting these concerns to the human resources department within the Company. The Company undertakes to investigate such concerns brought to good faith, maintaining the confidentiality of these steps.

More technological advances have allowed medicine to evolve to minimally invasive techniques that expose patients to low risks and allow for a faster recovery period. In developed countries, it is common practice for many years: patients to be able to go home without requiring over-night hospitalization. In 2005, MedLife was the first to introduce this concept to the Romanian market. MedLife has created space in hospitals and hyperclinics, where patients can benefit from minimally invasive techniques.
MedLife concept "We Make Romania Well" started with the desire to bring good in Romania in as many forms, not just in health and in the medical system. Thus, Medlife Group has developed and supported a number of projects, events and ideas for the well-being of employees or healthcare professionals at the beginning. The company also organized or participated in medical events where doctors from the country or from abroad had the opportunity to share new knowledge, technologies or procedures.

The MedLive platform
In order to reduce the phenomenon of self-diagnosis and auto-medication and to encourage correct information, directly from the doctor, MedLife launched the MedLive.ro online platform. The MedLive platform is an education platform for MedLife patients as well as for doctors or medical students. In the eight years since the platform was launched, users were able not only to keep up-to-date with the latest news about prevention or maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, but also to interact directly with MedLife doctors.
Good for the Environment - The Green Project for Romania
The Green project, together with every action taken by MedLife, is the essence of the brand. And this time, besides respecting the promise of a quality medical act and excellence proven to every patient, the campaign is MedLife's desire to get even more involved in the future of new generations.
Therefore, the project requires that for each child born in MedLife's maternity clinics, the company plans to plant a tree in a deforested area of the Fagaras Mountains through the FCC (Conservation Carpathia Foundation).

8. Risk exposures
Capital risk
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, which includes borrowings from bank and IFC and also financial leasing, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Company's risk management reviews the capital structure regularly. As a part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Company will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.
Financial risk management objectives
The Company's Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks.
These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
Market risk
The Company's activities expose it primarily to foreign exchange rate risks. There were no changes in the Company's exposure to market risks or the way they manage and assess their risk.
Foreign exchange rate risk
The Company operates and carries out transactions denominated in various currencies. The management analyses the exposure to currency risk and takes the necessary measures to protect itself.
Interest rate risk
The management of the Company analyses the financial costs of borrowing from banks and financial leasing and takes the necessary measures to protect itself against interest rate risk.
Credit risk
The financial assets that might expose the Company to a credit risk concentration mainly consist of receivables (trade receivables and similar receivables). Given the large number of clients of the Company, credit risk is rather limited.
The Company has also developed certain procedures to assess legal entities as customers prior to signing contracts, aimed at providing preventive and prophylactic health care packages (PPMs) and monitoring their ability to meet the payments during the course of contracts.
Liquidity risk/ cash flow risk
The Company's policy is to maintain sufficient liquidities to pay for its obligations when such become due.
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has set up an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to manage short, medium and long-term funding requirements and liquidity management.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining reserves, continuously monitoring the estimated and effective cash flows and reconciling the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
Fiscal environment
The taxation system in Romania is still developing and is subject to various interpretations and constant changes, which may sometimes be retroactive. Although the actual tax due for a transaction may be minimum, delay interests may be significant, as they can be calculated at the value of the transaction and at a rate of 0.02% per day (interest) and 0.01% (penalties) per day in 2019.
In Romania the statute of limitation for tax controls (audits) is of 5 years. Management believes that the tax obligations included in these financial statements are adequate.
Transfer pricing
