Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the financial statements of MED LIFE S.A. ("the Company"), with registered office in (address), identified by unique tax registration code 8422035, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the financial statements.
    1. The financial statements as at December 31, 2018 are identified as follows:
  • Net assets/ Equity RON 151.998.607
  • Net profit for the financial year RON 4.110.439

  • In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018, and its financial performance and its 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

  1. 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 Company 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

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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
Valuation of investments
Investments in other companies represent
29% of the total assets of the Company.
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
investments at standalone level. This is
performed using discounted cash flow
models.
As disclosed in note 4, there are a number
of key sensitive judgements made in
determining the inputs into these models
which include:
We focused our testing of the impairment of cost of
investments on the key assumptions made by
management.
Our audit procedures included:
>> Engaging our internal specialists to assist with:
−− Critically evaluating whether the model used by
management to calculate the value in use of the
individual Cash Generating Units complies with the
requirements of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
−− Evaluating the appropriateness of the assumptions
used to calculate the discount rates and recalculating
these rates.
>> Revenue growth
>> Operating margins and
>> The discount rates applied to the
projected future cash flows.
>>We evaluated the future projected cash flows used in
the models to determine whether they are reasonable
and supportable given the current economic climate and
expected future performance of the Cash Generating
Unit.
Accordingly, the impairment test of these
assets is considered to be a key audit
matter.
Management have engaged specialists to
assist with the determination of the
discount rates for the significant Cash
Generating Units to which the cost of
investment relates.
>>We subjected the key assumptions to sensitivity
analyses.
>>We compared the projected cash flows, including the
assumptions relating to revenue growth rates and
operating margins, against historical performance to
evaluate reasonableness of management's projections.

Other information- Administrator's Report

  1. The administrator is responsible for preparation and presentation of the other information. The other information comprises the Administrator's report which includes the non-financial information declaration but does not include the consolidated and separate financial statements and our auditor's report thereon,

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, 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 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 financial statements, in our opinion:

  • a) the information included in the administrators' report for the financial year for which the financial statements have been prepared is consistent, in all material respects, with these 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;

Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the standalone financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2018, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this Administrator's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

    1. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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.
    1. In preparing the 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.
    1. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
    1. 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018),

The Company expects that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to existing standards will not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements during the initial period of application.

2.2 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 new standards issued by IASB and adopted by the EU are not yet effective:

  • IFRS 16 "Leases" adopted by the EU on 31 October 2017 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019),
  • IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).

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 the date of publication of financial statements (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS in full):

  • 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,

  • Amendments to the References to the Conceptual Framework of IFRS (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020).

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.

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 2017, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1st 2018.

Starting with January 1st 2018, the Company has applied for the first time two new standards, IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers".

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.

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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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").

As at December 31, 2018 the exchange rate was of 4.0736 RON for 1 USD and of 4.6639 RON for 1 EUR. As at December 31, 2017 the exchange rate was of RON 3.8915 for 1 USD and of RON 4.6597 for 1 EUR. The average exchange rate for the period ended 31 December 2018 was of 3.9416 RON for 1 USD (12 months period ended 31 December 2017 : 4.0525 for 1 USD) and 4.6535 RON for 1 EUR (12 months period ended 31 December 2017 : 4.5681 RON for 1 EUR).

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 Comparative information

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

3.7 Investments in other companies

Med Life has significant investments in other companies. The investments are presented at cost less impairment. Management conducts annual testing 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 value of land and buildings owned presented in these financial statements is based on the valuation reports which were performed as of December 31, 2016 by independent valuators certified by ANEVAR. The revaluation is performed with sufficient regularity as to ensure that the Company presents land and buildings at fair value in the financial statements. The Company performed the revaluation of the main buildings as of December 31, 2018. As the fair value of the assets is not significant compared to the carrying value as of December 31, 2018, the revaluation was not extended to all assets and no revaluation adjustment was recorded as of December 31, 2018.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income during the financial period in which they incur. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Company. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on the amounts of property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis down to the assets' estimated residual values. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Years
Buildings 10 – 50 years
Plant and equipment 3 – 15 years
Fixtures and fittings 3 – 15 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 amortized 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 cashgenerating 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.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and 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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.10 Intangible assets (continued)

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.

3.11 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

Receivables are stated in the balance sheet at anticipated realizable value. An allowance for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the collection terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

The amount of the allowance is determined based on Management risk assessment of the trade receivables collectability.

3.13 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.

3.14 Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction cost. Fair value is the amount for which a financial instrument could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

3.15 Accounts payable

Liabilities for trade payables are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.

3.16 Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.17 Leasing (continued)

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss. Contingent rentals are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

3.18 Borrowing costs

All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. The transaction costs incurred in issuing the liability are amortized over the life of the loan.

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method; any difference between fair value of the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized as interest expense over the period of the borrowings.

3.19 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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.20 Taxation (continued)

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.

3.21 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized in equity in the period in which they are declared.

3.22 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.

3.23 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.

3.24 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.

3.25 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Rendering of services

Sales of services are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The Company does not operate any customer loyalty program.

The Company is rendering health care medical services to corporate and retail customers. Corporate customers revenues are recognized based on monthly prevention packages at the end of the month at the level of the agreed value for the each prevention package. Revenues for retail customers are recognized when the services are actually rendered.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.26 Revenue recognition (continued)

Interest revenues

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

3.27 Employee benefits

The Company, 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 Company are members of the Romanian State pension plan. The Company does not operate any other pension scheme.

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 Company's Board of Directors, as well as the members of their families.

These financial statements have been prepared based on the fact that the parties have entered into arm's length transactions with the entities within the Company and according to objectively established prices.

3.29 Fair value

As described above, 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.

The fair values were assessed for evaluation or presentation of information based on the methods and techniques described below. Fair value was assessed for land and buildings owned as of December 31, 2016 based on evaluators reports. The fair value of land was established based on market value approach. The fair value for buildings was established based on cost of replacement approach.

3.30 IAS 29

Med Life SA was created in 1996. The development of the Company 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),

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  • (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.

3.32 IFRS 9 "Financial instruments"

Starting with January 1st 2018, the Company has applied for the first time the new standard IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". IFRS 9 introduces changes regarding the recognition and measurement of financial assets and results in an earlier recognition of bad debt allowances for receivables.

Being permitted by the standard, the Company adopted IFRS 9 starting with January 1st 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with cumulated adjustments from the initial application recognised in equity as of January 1st 2018 and without restating the figures of the comparative period.

For the Company's trade receivables, there are no significant differences between the initial evaluation method according to IAS 39 and the new evaluation criteria under IFRS 9.

3.33 IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers"

IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers" introduces a comprehensive model for revenue recognition and measurement. The standard replaces the existing criteria for revenue recognition, replacing the standards IAS 18 "Revenue", IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs". Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when or as the customer acquires control over the goods or services rendered, at the amount which reflects the price at which the Company is expected to be entitled to receive in exchange of those goods or services.

Being permitted by the standard, the Company adopted IFRS 15 starting with January 1st 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with cumulated adjustments from the initial application recognised in equity as of January 1st 2018 and without restating the figures of the comparative periods. The initial application has no impact on the Company's Retained Earnings.

In respect to the timing of the revenue recognition, all of the Company's services provided are transferred to the customer when the services are rendered. Based on internal assessment of the possible impact resulting from the application of IFRS 15 not significant effect was identified on these financial statements. Also, a number of other amendments and interpretations have been effective starting with January 1st 2018, but do not have a significant effect on these financial statements.

3.34 IFRS 16 "Leases"

Starting with January 1st 2019, the Company will adopt the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases". IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January, 1st 2019. IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The Company is currently performing a detailed assessment of the impact resulting from the application of IFRS 16. Recognition of a right to use as an asset and a lease liability for existing contracts as of December 31, 2018 will result in an increase in the value of tangible assets and debts of approximately 70 million Ron on 1 January 2019. On the income side, will report depreciation expense and interest expense instead of rental expenses. This will lead to an increase in operating result that will be offset by higher interest expense ".

3.35 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.

In March 2018, Med Life announced the acquisition of the 80.00% majority stake in Solomed, a group of medical clinics present on Pitesti, Costesti and Curtea de Arges markets. The Solomed Group was founded in 1997 and is one of the leading local medical operators in the region. The group consists of five clinics - three in Pitesti, the other two in Costesti and Curtea de Arges - and a laboratory (Pitesti), offering to its patients a wide range of investigations from multidisciplinary consultations for a range of over 15 medical specialties and laboratory services, CT investigations, ultrasounds, medical recovery services and small laser interventions. All medical units are equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and have a medical team with over 90 specialists. The transaction was finalized on 14 May 2018, after the fulfilment of the conditions precedent.

Sfatul medicului Med Life acquired 100% majority stake in sfatulmedicului.ro platform, the largest medical information hub in Romania. Established 15 years ago, sfatulmedicului.ro is among the top sites dedicated to the Romanian health segment. The platform has a monthly average of more than 3.2 million unique users and over 12 million views. In addition to the information service, users access the medical self-evaluation service and online analysis of the analyzes on this platform. As a result of this transaction, Sfatulmedicului.ro will retain the team that has carried out the project all these years, and in order to preserve its independence and impartiality towards the market, the management will be completely independent from Med Life and the current directors. The transaction was finalized on 14 August 2018 once the suspensive conditions were met.

Centrul Transilvania Imagistica Oradea Medlife has taken over Centrul Transilvania Imagistica Oradea, a provider of medical diagnostic, imaging and radiology services, one of the most important players in the northwest of the country on this segment. The center is equipped with high-performance medical equipment and investigations are carried out by a team of specialists.

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 investments at individual level. 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 determination of the discount rates for the significant Cash Generating Units to which the cost of investment relates.

5.1. Land and buildings carried at fair value

The value of land and buildings related to Med Life, presented in these financial statements is based on the valuation reports which were performed as of December 31, 2016 by an independent valuator certified by ANEVAR.

The plots of land subject to the revaluation reports were valued using the market comparison approach as well as the residual method. The value conclusion was based on the market comparison approach.

The buildings were valued by using both the cost approach and the income approach (capitalization of net rental income). The final value conclusion is the one derived from the application of the cost approach.

The Company performed the revaluation of its main buildings as of December 31, 2018. As the fair value of the assets is not significantly different as compared to the carrying value as of December 31, 2018, the revaluation was not extended to all assets and no revaluation adjustment was recorded as of December 31, 2018.

Had the Company's land and buildings been measured on a historical cost basis, their carrying amount would have been as presented below:

Trade receivables as of December 31, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017 include a receivable of RON 7,365,835 representing amounts to be collected from the National Health House of Bucharest not yet invoiced. The Company started legal actions against the National Health House of Bucharest. The management is confident that the receivable may be eventually recovered, but given the adverse court decisions in similar cases, the Company decided to record a 100% allowance during 2016.

As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Management of the Company performed an assessment regarding the collectability of receivables- a total allowance of RON 16,196,650 (which includes the amount of RON 7,365,835 in relation to the National Health House described above) represents management's best estimate regarding the receivables which are not to be collected.

The assessment takes into consideration the collection pattern of the receivables over the last three years, analysed according to the criteria established by IFRS 9. The Company monitors the credit quality of its customers on an ongoing basis. Credit risk is spread over a large customer base and the Company is not dependent on the collection of receivables from a limited number of customers.

Trade receivables disclosed above are classified as receivables and are therefore measured at amortized cost. The average credit period on collection for services rendered is 90 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables for the first 90 days from the date of the invoice.

Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts (see below for aged analysis) that are past due at the end of the reporting period but against which the Company has not recognized an allowance for doubtful receivables because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor does it have a legal right of offset against any amounts owed by the Company to the counterparty.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivables from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. The Company is not dependent on the collection of receivables from a limited number of customers.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (IFRS 7)

(a) Capital risk management

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 the borrowings disclosed in note 13, cash and cash equivalents disclosed in note 8 and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 14 and 15.

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.

(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 financial statements.

(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.

(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.

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 for existing receivables.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (IFRS 7) (continued)

(g) Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

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.

A negative number below indicates a decrease in profit where EUR is weakening 10% against RON. For a 10% strengthening of EUR against the RON there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be positive. Change is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on RON cash and cash equivalents at year end in the Company.

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 2018.

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 non-conformity, 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.
