Turnover by regional segment Personnel by region
Profitable growth
Scanfil plc developed strongly in 2014. Its turnover was EUR 214.5 million (188.5 million in 2013), with an operating profit of EUR 16.2 million (11.8). Its turnover grew organically, even among data transmission customers, for the first time in several years. In addition to organic growth, sales increased as a result of the acquisition of the Schaltex Systems at the beginning of April. Our operating profit increased clearly, which was due not only to our higher turnover, but also the development measures we carried out during the year as well as successful cost control. We grew profitably, which was our goal.
The acquisition of the Schaltex enabled us to expand our customer base and gain a strong foothold in the strategically important German market. Business operations at the Hamburg unit developed in line with expectations, and its integration into Scanfil progressed as planned.
Development guided by customers' needs
Our development efforts are guided by our customers' needs and expectations. We must be able to meet customers' targets in terms of schedules, flexibility and quality. In addition, we are often expected to reduce their production costs in the process. Our service concept and factory network also enable us to help customers launch new products more rapidly or enter interesting new markets, to name just two examples. In addition, we are able to increase our customers' production capacity without tying up their resources. In other words, as a manufacturing partner, we enable our customers focus on their core processes, such as sales, marketing, product development and market entries. Our vision is to be our customers' preferred contract manufacturing partner.
We have systematically expanded our customer base to cover new industries. Currently, many of our customers operate in the following sectors: energy and automation, health technology, life science and environmental measurement solutions, communication systems and mobile networks as well as products and solutions related to urbanisation, such as lifts, escalators and self-service equipment. A diverse customer base in interesting sectors offers us a large number of growth opportunities.
Personnel is the key
Scanfil employs nearly 1,800 people in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Hungary and China. Employee satisfaction is studied and any necessary development measures are determined annually. I believe that satisfied, motivated and highly competent employees play a key role in creating good customer experiences. Our experiences from last year support this view: our employee satisfaction, our ability to produce high quality and our customer satisfaction improved.
Continuous development
We aim for profitable growth in turnover also this year. In customer acquisition, we will be focusing on Central Europe and China in particular. We have determined development measures for 2015 based on feedback from customers and employees. We will continue our efforts to improve our processes and efficiency. Our goal is to make Scanfil an even more attractive partner for customers and an even better workplace for employees.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees, customers, suppliers, partners and shareholders for their trust and cooperation in 2014.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Competitive, high-quality service packages
Scanfil has a broad service concept: we offer the entire supply chain for customers' products, from supporting product design and manufacturing prototypes to procuring materials and components, producing and testing products and providing logistics solutions.
Vertically integrated production is at the core of our manufacturing operations. This means that most of the added value work in the product manufacturing chain is carried out in-house and is often centralised in one manufacturing location. The same plant can provide supply chain management, design and prototyping related to productisation, sheet metal mechanic components and electronics, such as assembled circuit and system boards, cable products and busbars, as well as the final assembly and testing of the product. We believe that this enables us to provide our customers with the best possible package
based on competitive pricing, fast deliveries, flexibility and reliable operations.
Added capacity through investments
Over the past year, Scanfil strengthened its position in Germany by acquiring Schaltex Systems GmbH in Hamburg. The company – now called Scanfil GmbH – is an electronics contract manufacturer specialising in highmix, low-volume production. It serves customers in the life sciences and analyser markets, among other fields. The arrangement also enhances Scanfil's growth strategy and its goal of expanding its customer base in Central Europe. In 2014, Scanfil invested in production by increasing its electronics manufacturing capacity using the latest technology in China, expanding its use of press technology in Hungary and deploying new coating technology for aluminium busbar products in Estonia. In Finland, the company invested in energy efficiency by renewing the air-conditioning and heating system at the Sievi plant and replacing some of the lighting with LED lights.
Training and development
During 2014, Scanfil strongly invested in Lean Six Sigma training. Lean Six Sigma is a development method for operational processes that combines the best qualities of Lean production technology and Six Sigma. Scanfil implements targeted process development and quality improvement projects to streamline its operations, create more value and reduce waste. Lean Six Sigma

It is headquartered in Sievi, Finland. Scanfil has production operations in Finland, China, Germany, Hungary and Estonia.

In addition to organic growth, its turnover increased as a result of the acquisition of the German contract manufacturer Schaltex Systems GmbH (now Scanfil GmbH) in early April.

Risk management
The Board of Directors of Scanfil plc is responsible for ensuring the appropriate organisation of the Group's risk management and internal control and audit.
REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2014
Risk management is based on a risk management policy approved by the Board, aiming to manage risks in a comprehensive and proactive manner. The assessment of risks is part of the strategy and business planning process. There is no separate risk management organisation; risk management is incorporated into the business processes and the management system. Risk management aims to observe and analyse factors that might have a negative impact on the achievement of the company's goals and to take measures to mitigate or completely eliminate the risks. The operative units report on business risks in accordance with the management and reporting system.
A weakening of the global economy and a decrease in the international demand for capital goods could have a negative effect on the development of the business operations of Scanfil's customers and could subsequently reduce demand in the contract manufacturing market. In addition, Scanfil is exposed to risks resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in its business operations.
For a description of financial risk management in the Scanfil Group, please refer to note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.
Risks and risk management are described in greater detail on the company's website under Corporate Governance and the Corporate Governance Statement at www.scanfil.com.
Research and development
Owing to the nature of the company's business, product development was mainly in cooperation with customers and Scanfil's in-house product development program was not a significant part of the company's cost structure.

Dividend for 2014
The parent company's distributable funds are 14,873,027.32 EUR. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.07 be paid from the unrestricted shareholders' equity per share, for a total of EUR 4,041,130.73. The dividend matching day is 10 April 2015.

Basic information of the Group
Scanfil plc is a Finland-based public limited company domiciled in Sievi. The parent company Scanfil plc and the subgroup Scanfil EMS Oy make up the Scanfil Group (hereinafter 'Scanfil' or 'the Group'). The shares of the parent company Scanfil plc have been quoted on the Main List of the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki since 2 January 2012.
Scanfil Group is an international contract manufacturer for the telecommunications and professional electronics industries, with more than 35 years of experience in demanding contract manufacturing operations. The company is a systems supplier that offers its products and services to international telecommunications systems and professional electronics manufacturers. Typical products include equipment systems for mobile and telecommunications networks, automation systems, frequency transformers, lift control systems, equipment and systems for electricity production and transmission, analysers, slot machines and different meteorological instruments. The company has production facilities in China, Estonia, Hungary, German and Finland.
General
Scanfil's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), applying the IAS and IFRS standards effective on 31 December 2014 as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations. "IFRS" refers to the standards and their interpretations in the Finnish Accounting Act and the provisions issued thereunder in accordance with the Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of international accounting standards within the Community. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in compliance with Finnish accounting and corporate legislation.
The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, and the information is based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the accounting principles.
Individual figures and totals shown in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand euros, which is why individual figures do not always add up to the totals.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Group. Control emerges when the Group holds more than one half of the votes or otherwise has control. The Group has controlling interest in an entity when it has the right and ability to control significant operations in the entity and when it is exposed to or has the right to variable returns from the entity through its power over the entity. The existence of potential voting rights is also taken into account when estimating the criteria for control when the instruments entitling to potential voting rights can be realized at the time of the assessment.
Intra-group shareholdings have been eliminated using the acquisition cost method. Consideration transferred and the identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of the acquired company are measured at fair value at the time of the acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses, apart from expenses related to the issue of debt or equity securities, have been recorded as expenses. Consideration transferred does not include business operations handled separately from the acquisition. Their impact has been taken into account in connection with the acquisition through profit or loss. Any conditional additional purchase price is measured at fair value at the time of the acquisition and classified as either debt or equity. Additional purchase price classified as debt is measured at fair value at the balance sheet date of each reporting period, and the resulting profit or loss is recognised through profit or loss. Additional purchase price classified as equity is not re-valued.
Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the moment the Group has gained control, and divested subsidiaries until control ceases to exist. All intra-group transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealised gains and internal profit distribution are eliminated upon preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are not eliminated when the loss is due to impairment. Shareholders' equity attributable to non-controlling interest is presented as a separate item under shareholders' equity in the balance sheet. Currently there are no non-controlling shareholders in the Group. Should the Group lose control of a subsidiary, the remaining holding is measured at fair value on the date of losing control, and the resulting difference is recognised through profit or loss. Acquisitions made prior to 1 January 2010 are handled in accordance with the regulations effective at the time.
Associated companies
Associated companies are companies over which the Group exercises considerable influence. As a rule, considerable influence emerges when the Group holds more than 20% of votes in the company or the Group otherwise has considerable influence, but not control. Associated companies are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. If the Group's share of the losses of an associated company exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investment is recorded on the balance sheet at zero value and losses exceeding the carrying amount are not consolidated unless the Group has committed to fulfilling the associated companies' obligations. An investment in an associated company includes the goodwill resulting from its acquisition. The proportion of the associated companies' results for the period based on the Group's holding is presented as a separate item after operating profit. Correspondingly, the Group's proportion of changes recognised under the associated company's other comprehensive income is recognised under the Group's other comprehensive income. The Group's associated company did not have such items.
Transactions in foreign currencies
The figures concerning the result and financial position of Group units are measured in the currency that is the currency of each unit's main operating environment (the operating currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the operating and reporting currency of the Group's parent company.
Foreign currency-denominated transactions are recorded in the operating currency using the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date. In practice, a rate that is sufficiently close to the rate of the transaction date is often used. The resulting exchange rate differences have been included in the net profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are handled as adjustments on sales and purchases. Rate differences in financing are presented as net amounts under financial income and expenses.
In the consolidated financial statements, the income statements of foreign Group companies are translated into euros using the average annual rates published by the European Central Bank, calculated on the basis of end-ofmonth rates. The companies' balance sheets are translated into euros using the rates in force on the date of the financial statements.
Translation differences owing to the different exchange rates used in the income statement and balance sheet as well as translation differences attributable to the use of the acquisition cost method and equity balances accrued after the acquisition have been recorded in Group equity, and the change in translation difference is presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
Revenue recognition
Revenue arising from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership, right of possession and actual control of the products sold have been transferred to the buyer. Exchange rate gains and losses related to the sales as well as any cash discounts have been entered as adjustment items on sales. The delivery costs of goods sold are included in other operating expenses.
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis and dividend income when the right to a dividend has emerged.
Government grants
Government grants related to tangible and intangible assets are deducted from an asset's acquisition cost, and the net acquisition cost is capitalised on the balance sheet. Other economic assistance is recognised as income within other operating income.
Business segments
The Group's reporting is based on the business segments Asia and Europe.
Employee benefits
Post-employment benefits
The Group has different kinds of pension arrangements according to local practices. The statutory pension cover of the Group's Finnish employees is provided through insurance policies. Foreign subsidiaries have arranged the pension cover of their employees in accordance with local legislation.
The pension cover of the Group's employees is provided through external pension insurance companies. Pension expenses are recognised as expenses for the year during which they are accrued.
The Group does not have defined-benefit schemes in use.
Share-based payments
The Group has an option scheme in use. Option rights are valued at their fair value at the time they were granted and recognised as an expense in the income statement under employee benefits in equal portions during the vesting period. The expense defined at the time the options were granted is based on the Group's estimate of the amount of options assumed to be vested at the end of the vesting period The fair value of options has been defined based on the Black-Scholes pricing model. Assumptions concerning the final amount of options are updated on each reporting date. Changes in the estimates are recognised in profit or loss. When option rights are exercised, proceeds from share subscriptions, adjusted with potential transaction costs, are entered under equity.
Leases
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it substantially transfers the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group. Assets acquired through finance leases are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet under assets and liabilities. Their depreciation is performed in the same way as for owned assets. Finance lease payments are recorded as financial expenses and reduction in liability.
Leases where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership remain with the lessor are processed as other leases, and the leases are recognised in the income statement as expenses over the lease period.
Property, plant and equipment
The main items included in this category are buildings, machinery, equipment, fixtures and fittings. They are stated in the balance sheet at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated from historical cost on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets.
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed annually and adjusted, if appropriate, to indicate changes in expected economic benefits.
An item of property, plant and equipment will no longer be depreciated when such an item is considered as being held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
The depreciation periods are:
| Buildings and structures | 10 – 25 |
|---|---|
| Machines and equipment | 3 – 10 |
| Other tangible assets | 5 – 10 |
Goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising in the consolidation of business operations is measured at the amount by which the consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the target of acquisition and previous holding combined exceed the Group's proportion of the fair value of the acquired net assets. Acquisitions that have taken place between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009 have been recognised in accordance with the previous IFRS standards (IFRS 3 (2004)). Goodwill arising from the consolidation of business operations prior to 2004 corresponds to the carrying amount pursuant to the previous standards on financial statements, used as the deemed cost pursuant to IFRS. The acquisition completed in 2014 is recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 (2009) as it stands. No depreciation is recorded for goodwill and other intangible assets with unlimited financial useful lives, but they are tested annually for impairment. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, or in the case of associated companies, goodwill is included in the acquisition cost of the associated company in question. Goodwill is measured at historical cost less impairment.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are recognised as expenses through profit or loss. Development costs as per IAS 38 Intangible Assets are capitalised and amortised over their useful lives. The Group has no capitalised development costs.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at historical cost on the balance sheet if the cost can be reliably determined and it is likely that the financial benefit from the asset is beneficial to the Group. Intangible assets are recorded using straightline depreciation on the income statement within their estimated useful life.
Other intangible assets include software's and the land use right of the subsidiaries in China. The depreciation period for intangible assets is 5–10 years, except for the land use right in China, for which it is 50 years.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
The Group's operations have been divided into cash-generating units (CGU) which are smaller than segments. The need for impairment is assessed regularly at the CGU level. The impairment test is conducted for the lowest CGU that is largely independent of other units and whose cash flows can be separated from other cash flows.
To determine the need for impairment of assets, the capital employed by the unit is compared against the discounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the unit or against the net selling price, whichever is higher. An impairment loss is recorded when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. If the impairment loss is related to a cash-generating unit, it is first allocated to reduce the goodwill allocated to the cashgenerating unit and thereafter to reduce the other asset items of the unit pro rata. An impairment loss related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, excluding goodwill, is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed.
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The assets and liabilities of major operations that have been sold or are classified as held for sale or to be discontinued are presented separately in the balance sheet. The net operating result for discontinued operations and the net result arising from their sale or discontinuation are shown in the income statement separately from the profit or loss for continued operations. Non-current assets classified as held for sale or groups of assets to be disposed of are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted-average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labour costs and other direct expenses and proportion of fixed costs. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price less sale-related costs.
Financial assets and liabilities
The Group's financial assets are classified according to IAS 39 into the following classes: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, investments held to maturity, loans and other receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification is made in connection with the initial acquisition according to the purpose of use of the financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets acquired to be held for trading or classified as items recognised at fair value during initial recognition. The Group did not have any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss during the financial period 2014.
Investments held to maturity are financial assets not included in derivative assets for which the payments are fixed or can be determined, which mature at a certain date and which the Group has a firm intention and ability to hold until the maturity date. They are valued at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group did not have any investments held to maturity during the financial period 2014.
Loans and other receivables are assets not included in derivative assets for which the payments are fixed or can be determined and which are not quoted in an active market. This entry includes sales and other receivables. Accounts receivable are measured at cost less any impairment losses. The amount of uncertain receivables is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Impairment losses are recorded as expenses in the income statement. Loans and other receivables also include time deposits with maturity exceeding three months. Time deposits are valued at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets are assets not included in derivative assets specifically classified in this group, or not classified in any other group. Available-forsale financial assets consist of shares. Quoted shares are measured at fair value, which is the market price of the date of the financial statement. Changes in fair value are recognised under other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve included in "Other reserves" under equity with tax consequence considered until the investment is traded or otherwise transferred, at which point the changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement. If the impairment of a share is determined, the change included in the fair value reserve will be transferred to be recognised through profit or loss. Investments in non-quoted shares are stated at the lower of historical cost and probable realisable value because their fair values cannot be determined reliably.
On the date of the financial statements, the Group's financial assets are evaluated to see if there are indications that the value of any of the assets might be impaired.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand as well as short-term bank deposits, which can easily be exchanged for an amount known in advance and for which there is little risk of changes in value. Items classified as cash and cash equivalents have a maximum maturity of three months from the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are classified in the group "Loans and other receivables", and they are presented at amortised cost on the balance sheet.
The Group's financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised in accounting with the fair value on the date when the Group becomes a party to the related contract and later further valued at fair value. For derivative financial instruments for which hedge accounting is not applied, changes in value are immediately recognised in profit or loss. For derivative financial instruments for which hedge accounting is applied and which are considered effective hedging instruments, the impact on the result of changes in value is presented according to the hedge accounting model employed.
The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting for the interest rate and currency swap used to hedge the variable-rate loan in SEK. When initiating hedge accounting, the Group documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instruments, together with the Group's risk management objectives and hedging strategy. When initiating hedging and at least every time when preparing financial statements and interim financial statements, the Group documents and evaluates the effectiveness of the hedging relationships by examining the ability of the hedging instrument to negate changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the effective portion of derivative financial instruments fulfilling the conditions of a cash flow hedge is recognised under other comprehensive income and presented in equity hedging reserve with tax consequence considered (included in "Other reserves"). Profits and losses accumulated from the hedging instrument to equity are recognised in profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
In addition, the Group has forward exchange contracts for purposes other than hedging. Changes in the fair values of these contracts are recognised through profit or loss.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when a past event has created an obligation that will probably be realised and when the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Income taxes and deferred taxes
The taxes of the consolidated income statement include taxes based on the results of the Group companies and calculated in accordance with local tax laws and tax rates. The taxes in the income statement also include the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are calculated on temporary differences between taxation and financial statements and differences due to Group eliminations based on tax rates for the following year confirmed by the reporting date. Temporary differences arise from intercompany profits on inventories, depreciation differences and provisions, among others.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised only when it is probable that the assets can be utilised against the taxable profit of future financial periods.
Operating profit
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements does not specify the concept of operating profit. The Group has defined it as follows: operating profit is the net sum of turnover plus other operating income less acquisition costs adjusted for the change in inventories of finished goods and work in progress as well as costs arising from production for own use, less employee benefit expenses, depreciation and any impairment losses and other operating expenses. All of the items in the income statement apart from those specified above are presented under operating profit. Exchange rate differences are included in the operating profit if they arise from operations-related items; otherwise, they are recognised in financial items.
Dividend
The dividend proposed to the Annual General Meeting by the Board of Directors has not been deducted from distributable equity prior to the AGM's approval.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards requires the company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the contents of the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made are based on previous experience and assumptions, which in turn are based on the circumstances prevailing at the time the financial statements are prepared and future prospects. Even though the estimates are based on the most recent information available and the management's best judgment, the actual outcome may differ from the estimates.
The following lists the most significant items that require the management's assessment.
The Group annually performs testing for impairment of goodwill and other intangible rights. The recoverable amounts for cash-generating units have been determined with calculations based on value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates from the management. More information on impairment testing of goodwill is available in Note 12, "Goodwill".
Potential obsolescence included in the value of inventories is regularly examined and, if necessary, the value of inventories is depreciated to match their net realisable value. These examinations require estimates on the future demand for products.
Estimates are also required when assessing the amount of provisions associated with business operations. Note 22, "Provisions", presents the provisions made within the Group.
New and amended standards applied during the financial year
Scanfil Group has observed the following new and amended standards from the beginning of 2014:
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and its amendments
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and its amendments
The new standards and their amendments did not have an effect on Scanfil Group's consolidated financial statements.
New and amended standards and interpretations to be applied
Scanfil Group has taken account of the new standards issued by the IASB at an earlier date. However, these standards – such as IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as well as amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, IAS 38 Intangible Assets and IFRIC 21 Levies – have not been applied to the financial statements for 2014. The Group will adopt them as of the effective date of each standard and interpretation, or if the effective date is not the first day of the financial period, as of the beginning of the first financial period after the effective date. According to the current estimate, new and amended standards do not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment testing
A test concerning the impairment of goodwill and other assets was carried out at Scanfil Group on 31 December 2014. On each reporting date, the Group evaluates whether there are indications that the value of any of the assets might be impaired. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount for the asset in question is estimated. In addition, the recoverable amount for goodwill is estimated annually regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. Goodwill is tested every year, and indications of potential impairment of other assets are regularly evaluated within the Group.
Goodwill impairment testing
The recoverable amounts for cash-generating units have been determined based on value in use. Goodwill has been tested by measuring the Group's recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is based on the value in use of a cash-generating unit, which is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the cash-generating unit. The determination of value in use is based on the conditions and expectations in force at the time of testing. Future cash flows have been determined for a five-year forecast period, and for the period following that, a growth rate of 1% has been assumed for cash flows for the sake of prudence. The amount of goodwill at the Group level is EUR 5.9 million. Of the goodwill, EUR 3.6 million is subject to the acquired business operations in Germany in 2014 and EUR 2.1 million concerns the business in Hungary. For Germany, the balance sheet value to be tested within the Group is EUR 7.9 million and for Hungary, the balance sheet value to be tested is EUR 13.1 million
Preparing impairment testing calculations requires estimates of future cash flows. The assumptions used for the impairment tests are based on the management's view of development in the coming years on the reporting date. Forecasts and assumptions are regularly reviewed and may be changed.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the cash-generating unit has been used as the discount rate for cash flows. In impairment testing carried out on 31 December 2014, the discount rate before taxes was 6.5% for Germany and 11.2% for Hungary (9.5% for Hungary in 2013).
Based on the impairment testing carried out on 31 December 2014, the Hungarian unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 1.7 million (EUR 2.9 million in 2013), or 12.8% (20.1%). The Germany unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 20.5 million, or 260%. No need for impairment of goodwill was detected based on the impermanent testing.
Sensitivity analysis for impairment testing
Sensitivity analysis for impairment testing shows for the key variables of the impairment test the amount by which the value used for a key assumption needs to change to make the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit equal to its book value.
A change of +1.2% in the discount rate for Hungary (+1.5% in 2013) and a change of +12.7% for Germany would cause the recoverable amount of the unit to be equal to its book value. A change of -0.7% in EBITDA (%) for Hungary (-1.1% in 2013) and a change of -4.7% for Germany for all quarters included in the forecast period and in the terminal period would cause the recoverable amount of the unit to be equal to its book value. A change of -1.9% in terminal growth for Hungary (2.3% in 2013) and a change of -32.0% for Germany would cause the recoverable amount of the unit to be equal to its book value.

The Group has one interest-bearing financing loan, taken out by Scanfil EMS Oy in 2010 in SEK, originally equivalent to EUR 40.0 million. Term of the loan is five years, and the last instalment will be paid on 8 December 2015. Interest of the loan may vary between 2.21% and 2.56% due to the fulfilment of interest covenant terms. The interest rate of the loan was 2.21% in 2014. The loan is associated with termination covenants, which are not in danger of being broken.
The company has an interest rate and currency swap related to the hedging of credit in foreign currency. The purpose of the hedge is to protect against the impact of changes in cash flows related to credit in foreign currency (credit and foreign exchange risks). The hedge is used to swap the capital and cash flows of instalments and interest payments for a variable-rate loan in SEK into EUR and fixed interest. The objective of the hedge follows the Group's risk management principles.
Effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured, and the hedge is expected to remain fully effective throughout the term of the hedging relationship. Effectiveness is evaluated every quarter year.
The nominal amount of the interest rate and currency swap was SEK 81.2 million on 31 December 2014 (SEK 162.5 million on
31 December 2013) and it will mature on 8 December 2015. The fair value of the derivative was EUR - 328,723 (EUR 314,440 on
31 December 2013). The cash flows of the derivative will be realised at the same time as the cash flows of the loan so that cash flows in SEK obtained from the derivative fully cover the cash flows payable for the loan. The end result is that the company will pay instalments and interest flows in euros according to the schedule in Note 29.

The fair values of level 2 instruments are to a significant extent based on data that can be observed either directly (i.e. as price) or indirectly (derived from the prices) for the asset or liability in question. In determining the fair value of these instruments, the Group utilises generally accepted measurement models whose input data, however, is significantly based on verifiable market data. The fair values of level 3 instruments are based on input data concerning the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data but to a significant extent on estimates of the management and their use in generally accepted measurement models. Level 3 items are unlisted shares
28. Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments used by the Group are discussed in Note 25: ''Interest-bearing Liabilities''. The Group has forward exchange contracts for purposes other than hedging. Changes in the fair values of these contracts have been recognised through profit or loss and the valuation is included in accrued income.
29. Financial risk management
The Group's treasury operations and financial risks are managed centrally in the parent company based on the principles approved by the Board. Subsidiaries are financed through intercompany loans or local bank loans. The goal is cost-efficient risk management and optimisation of cash flows.
Currency risk
The Group's currency risks consist of
- transaction risks related to trade receivables and payables
- translation risks related to foreign subsidiaries
- financial risks related to exchange rate changes
Currency risks are mainly the result of changes in the EUR/USD exchange rates. Currency risks can be hedged with forward exchange contracts or interest rate and currency swaps. The parent company of the Group is responsible for all hedging actions. The financial statements of 31 December 2014 include an interest rate and currency swap for hedging a foreign currency loan and a EUR/USD forward exchange contract for a purpose other than hedging.
Below, the net positions associated with cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are shown in euros for the main currencies of the Group.

Translation risk
A weakening of 10% of the Chinese yuan would decrease the Group's shareholders' equity by approximately EUR 4 million. The Chinese currency is strongly linked to the US dollar. The exposure is not fixed; it varies with the result and dividends paid. In Hungary, the property company Rozália Invest Kft has a euro-denominated loan of EUR 4.4 million from the parent company. This loan includes a currency risk if the local currency (HUF) weakens. The accounting currency of other subsidiaries is EUR. Investments in foreign subsidiaries have not been hedged.
Financial risk
The changes in exchange rates should not have a significant effect on the long term competitiveness of the company. With most customers pricing is adjusted either monthly or quarterly cycles. Some fixed prices are agreed, but no longer than for a one year period.
Interest rate risk
The yield of the financial investments and interest-bearing liabilities carry an interest rate risk. The Group has considerable cash assets, and changes in interest rates may have an effect on the Group's result, but their impact is not significant on the whole. The Group invests its cash funds in bank deposits, and only accepts banks with a high credit rating as counterparties. The interest rate risk of loans can be controlled with the proportion between variable rate and fixed-interest loans. The Group only has one interest-bearing loan whose interest rate has been fixed through an interest swap agreement for a loan period of five years. The interest covenant term range is 2.21% - 2.56%. The interest rate in 2014 was 2.21%. Interest expenses were EUR 53 thousands higher if the interest rate would have been 2.56% throughout the year.
Credit risk
The credit risks of accounts receivable are the responsibility of operative business units. The monitoring of accounts receivable is a continuous activity according to the Group guidelines. According to the view of the Group's management, the company does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The sales of the three largest customers is 45 % of the Group's turnover. The largest customers have good credit ratings.

During the financial year, the Group has recorded a total of EUR 4 thousand (EUR 327 thousand in 2013) of credit losses for accounts receivable. The credit losses of the previous year are due to accounts receivable of the associated company Greenpoint Oy. The matter is presented in Notes 14.
Liquidity risk
Considering the Group's balance sheet structure, the liquidity risk is small. The Group's liquid assets on 31 December 2014 were EUR 19.2 million (EUR 28.2 million in 2013). In addition, the Group has a credit limit for EUR 8.0 million. The Group's bank loans include regular loan covenant terms. During the financial year 2014, the Group fulfilled the covenant terms associated with the loans and they are not at risk of rupture.

"Loans from financial institutions" consist of a loan in Swedish kronor, which has been converted into euros through an interest rate and currency swap. Instalments and interest flows obtained from the derivative in Swedish kronor fully cover the instalments and interest flows payable for the loan. The end result is that the company will pay instalments and interest flows in euros as described above. Payment basis installments defer from the loans book value, as the book value also includes the value of the derivative.
30. Management of capital structure, 1000 EUR
The objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure normal prerequisites for business operations. Development of the Group's capital structure is monitored through net gearing. The capital structure is regularly reviewed. The shareholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheet is managed as capital. No external capital requirements are applied to the Group.

Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion on the consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors
In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.

OUTLINES OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND AUDIT RELATED TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management
The Board of Directors of Scanfil plc is responsible for ensuring the appropriate organisation of the Group's risk man-
agement and internal control and audit.
Risk management is based on a risk management policy approved by the Board, aiming to manage risks in a comprehensive and proactive manner. The assessment of risks is part of the annual strategy and business planning process. There is no separate risk management organisation; risk management is incorporated into the business processes and the management system. Risk management aims to observe and analyse factors that might have a negative impact on the achievement of the company's goals and to take measures to mitigate or completely eliminate the risks. The operative units report on business risks in accordance with the management and reporting system.
Internal control
Scanfil's internal control is a continuous process to ensure profitable and uninterrupted operation. Control aims to minimise risks by ensuring the reliability of reporting and compliance with laws and regulations.
Internal control is based on the Group's shared values, ethical guidelines and industry legislation from which the operating principles and guidelines followed are derived. The guidelines cover procedures for core operations. Group and unit management hold the responsibility for the company's internal control system. Internal control forms an active part of the company's management and administration. The Group's operational management holds the responsibility for developing the harmonised business processes included in the control system. The Group's financial administration supports and coordinates the financial management of the Group.
The controls contained in Scanfil's operating processes form the basis of the company's financial control. They enable the company to swiftly identify and react to any deviations from the norm. The management's monthly reporting is a fundamental part of financial control. It includes rolling forecasting, the result of business operations carried out, and an analysis of the differences between the forecast and actual result. The indicators monitored in monthly reporting have been set so as to support the achievement of shared Group-level and unitspecific targets and to identify issues that require control measures. An auditing firm supports the performance of financial control.
The interpretation and application of accounting standards is carried out centrally by the Group's financial administration. These standards form the basis for the Group's shared recognition principles and reporting and accounting standards. In order to ensure reliable financial reporting, core functions are conducted using a globally harmonised ERP system and shared reporting tools. The use of standardised tools enables continuous control and successful change management.
Internal audit
Considering the Group's structure and extent, the company does not have a separate internal audit organisation. The company's controller function is responsible for the duties of internal audit, reporting regularly to the CEO and the Board of Directors.
