CEO'S REVIEW

A year of development

In 2016, we went through a significant transformation. The year was marked by the integration of PartnerTech, a company that was acquired in 2015. We combined and streamlined organizations, and harmonized operating processes and IT systems. We improved the transparency of our functions and the agility of our operating models. We eliminated overlapping functions

and closed down unprofitable plants. As a result, our cost structure is significantly lighter than before. We will continue our operations at ten factories each of which has a distinct role, an extensive customer base, and a sufficient sales volume. Our plant network is in good shape, and all of our plants are well placed for profitable and competitive operations.

We have also kept our foot on the gas. We kicked off an investment program; good examples of this are doubling production space in Sieradz and Myslowice factories, investing in electronics assembly lines both in Sieradz and Suzhou and investments into punching machines in Myslowice. In addition to this, machines from closed factories have been transferred to continuing factories. With

Our strategic became stronger

Petteri Jokitalo, CEO

these transfers, we have increased manufacturing capacity e.g. in Myslowice and added new manufacturing technology e.g. electronics assembly line to Hamburg, Germany. We also made a decision to double our production space in Atlanta, USA. We are ready to increase our production capability according to our customer needs.

In 2016, our turnover increased to approximately EUR 508 million (EUR 377 million in 2015), and our operating profit – before restructuring costs – increased to approximately EUR 22 million (approximately EUR 20 million in 2015). We have an extensive customer base, and the distribution of sales among our customers is balanced. Our largest customer accounted for 11% of our turnover, while the ten largest made up 55%. Our turnover is distributed between different customer segments as follows: Energy & Automation (16%), MedTech (14%), Networks & Communication (19%), Other Industries (12%), Urban Application (36%) and Defence, Oil&Gas and Maritime (3%).

Focus on customers and plants

We serve our customers in Europe, Asia and North America. In Finland, Sweden and Germany, our plants are close to the R&D processes of our customers. At best, these plants are involved in customer projects starting from the product design and production phases. Our plants in China, Eastern Europe and the USA offer our customers a highly competitive opportunity to have their products manufactured close to their main market areas. The role of Group functions is to secure the optimal use of Scanfil's resources, and to support plants and customer processes.

Our current customer base offers a good opportunity for increased sales. We aim to find new customers, especially in the Nordic countries and Central Europe. We will develop our operations in cooperation with our customers, based on their needs. Our aim is to stand out from our competitors by offering excellent performance and by being our customers' trusted partner for manufacturing services. We can already now offer concrete benefits to our customers as a result of our increased size. As a result, our customers gave us positive feedback on our stronger strategic position and increased the potential to produce added value.

I would like to extend my thanks to Scanfil personnel for a job well done in 2016. I also would like to thank our customers, suppliers and other partners, as well as our owners, for their confidence and good cooperation.

Scanfil: a strategic partner to customers

Scanfil invests in the continuous improvement of customer satisfaction. The company monitors the development of customer satisfaction by conducting regular surveys and by using customer-specific indicators. Development activities are defined on the basis of short-term procedures and annual projects. Long-term development has paid off and, currently, most of Scanfil's customers consider the company to be their strategic partner.

Through the merger of Scanfil and PartnerTech AB, a company acquired in summer 2015, the customer base is more balanced, representing several different industrial fields and global megatrends, such as urbanization, the aging population, food, water and air quality monitoring, the production of renewable energy, digitalization and data transfer, including wireless networks and the Industrial Internet. The largest customer accounts for approximately 11% of turnover, and the ten largest customers make up approximately 56%. Due to the expanded customer base and an increasingly even distribution of sales, customerspecific risks have decreased significantly.

In autumn 2016, Scanfil changed its customer segment division to better correspond to its current customer base. Once the Metal Precision business was ended, customers were transferred from the Defence, Oil&Gas and Maritime group to the Networks and Communication and the Other Industries groups.

In addition to manufacturing, we utilize our large supplier network, our expertise in product and testing design, our supply chain management and our global sourcing activities.

Many of our customers are operating in markets with very high quality requirements. This means that product ramp-ups must be quick and changes in demand must be addressed at the right time.

Scanfil improves the efficiency of its customers' production and shortens the production through-put time, starting from product ideas, R&D and design, all the way to product launches. Our global sourcing allows us to reduce product costs; therefore, increasing the competitiveness of our customers.

Scanfil Manufacturing Excellence

Contract manufacturing is a fast-paced business, where staying at a pace of competition requires continuous development. To our customers, it is vital that their contract manufacturer is flexible and keeps its promises. The product quality must meet up with expectations. Products must also be manufactured at competitive costs. In order to exceed the expectations of our customers, we develop world-class standardized operating models, processes and performance wherever we operate and in everything we do.

To meet our customers' needs, we have developed the Scanfil Manufacturing Excellence (SMaX) program. SMaX is based on continuous improvement by using the Lean Six Sigma methodology and tools. Through continuous improvement, we can streamline our production, reduce the level of loss and increase value-add. We focus on more effective production by using flexible automation and modern technology. We continuously invest in trainings, and the Group currently has over 100 trained Lean Six Sigma experts in our plants worldwide.

Scanfil has a global technical organization, which ensures that all of our units operate along the same principals. Our company has a global quality management system certified in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard and an environmental system certified in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard. In addition, selected plants have a quality system certified according to the ISO 13485 standard, which is a requirement in the medical industry.

A general finding from the study is that the company has highly motivated and engaged employees. Scanfil considers results of this study highly important as our employees are the key for our success. All our employees are expected to take part in workshops to continue developing a successful company, which will gain both the people working here our customers and our stakeholders. Improvement actions are embedded into every manager's plans. Based on the result the units and functions have carried out several improvement projects, and the work still continues.

Scanfil sees the importance of competent and motivated employees. Engaged employees are a key to the company's success. The group therefore puts a lot of effort also on training. A Global Leadership Development Program with middle management as a target group has during 2016 been started by Scanfil Global Training. During 2016 15 employees took part in the training. We have also offered trainings in cultural awareness, Lean Six Sigma and Quality. Our focus is to ensure that we have all the needed skills and competencies, not only today but also in the future. We will continue to develop and offer more global training in 2017.

The integration process continued according to plan. All basic HR processes are now aligned and implemented, but we will continue to develop them. Alignment and harmonization have high priority, and Scanfil regards it as being a good base for the future.

REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2016

Report of Board of Directors 2016

Scanfil plc is an international listed (NASDAQ Helsinki, SCL1V) contract manufacturer and system supplier for the electronics industry with over 40 years of experience in demanding contract manufacturing. Scanfil is a full-service company – its services range from product design and production planning to prototype and pre-serial production, the volume manufacturing of products and after-sales services, such as maintenance and spare parts services. Scanfil employed approximately 3,300 people at the end of 2016 . Scanfil's network of factories at the end of the year consists of 12 production units in eight different countries on three different continents.

The key elements of Scanfil's operations include a vertically integrated production system and the provision of services and supply chain management to customers over the entire life cycle of the product. These provide a solid foundation for Scanfil's competitive advantages: speed, flexibility and reliability. The company's customers include international operators in the automation, energy, data transmission and health technology sectors and companies operating in fields related to urbanisation.

Year 2016

The integration of operations from 2015 purchased PartnerTech and Scanfil, mitigating overlappings and closing down unprofitable units proceeded according to plans. Factories in Norway, UK and Dongguan, China were closed down. The entire share capital of PartnerTech Aerodyn AB and PartnerTech Karlskoga, both located in Karlskoga, Sweden, were sold. Operations both on Scanfil Vantaa Oy, Finland and Scanfil Kft, Hungary will end during the first half of 2017.

The shutdown of the Vantaa and Hungarian plant completes the restructuring related to the integration of the PartnerTech AB's plant network.

The sales of the different customer segments remained relatively stable. However, the development of sales to individual customers varied notably within the customer groups. The largest customer's share of the turnover was approximately 11%, and that of the ten largest customers was 56%. Scanfil's customer segmets are: Energy & Automation, Medtec, Life Science, Environmental Measurements, Networks &Communication, Urban Applications and Other Industries.

For the benefit of our existing customers, we broadened our service portfolio and utilized our extended plant network. The acquisition of new customers focused mainly on the Nordic countries and Central Europe. We acquired several new customers for whom we supply mainly integrated products and electronics. We started to ramp-up new customers in 2016, and volume production for them starts in 2017.

The sales of design services developed favorably. We were able to join several customer projects in the early development phase, which plays a fundamental role in our operating model in the Nordic countries and, in the future, also in Central Europe.

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.

The goal of Group's risk management is to recognize and analyze the factors that have a negative effect on achieving the company's goals in the short and long term, and to start procedures to minimize risks and to postpone or to remove them completely. Risk-management is part of business processes and management systems that are controlled by the board's inspection committee.

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 30 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2016

The company's risks and risk management are described on the company's website under Corporate Governance and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Group structure

On 31 December 2016, Scanfil Group comprised the parent company, Scanfil Oyj, and two wholly-owned sub-groups, Scanfil EMS Oy (Finland) and Scanfil Sweden AB (Sweden). The Scanfil EMS sub-group comprises the parent company, Scanfil EMS Oy, and six wholly-owned subsidiaries operating in four different countries. The Scanfil Sweden AB sub-group comprises the parent company, Scanfil Sweden Ab, seven wholly-owned subsidiaries operating in five different countries and five inactive subsidiaries that were not engaged in any production activities at the end of 2016.

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..

Quality and environment

Each Scanfil facility has a certified ISO 9001-compliant quality management system. Additionally, selected plants have more detailed certified quality management systems aimed at meeting the needs to specific industries. For example, plants that serve medical customer accounts have a certified ISO 13485-compliant quality management system.

At all of our plants, Scanfil uses the internationally recognised Lean Six Sigma process development method, which helps us to optimise our production resources and manufacture products of a consistent quality standard.

All of Scanfil's plants have a certified ISO 14001-compliant. Our plants operate globally following the requirements and values of a common environmental certificate. We fulfil local requirements set in the legislation of each operating country.

The goal of Scanfil's environmental policy is to reduce environmental impact and use of non-renewable resources. Through the environmental program management the reduction of energy use, use of water in production and utilisation of metals among others are followed.

Board of Director's proposals to the Annual General Meeting

Basic information of the Group

Scanfil plc is a Finland-based public limited company domiciled in Sievi. The parent company Scanfil plc and subgroups Scanfil EMS Oy and Scanfil Sweden AB (former PartnerTech AB) 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 Helsinki since 2 January 2012.

Scanfil is an international contract manufacturer and system supplier for the electronics industry with 40 years of experience in demanding contract manufacturing. Typical Scanfil products include mobile and communications network devices, automation system modules, frequency converters, lift control systems, analysers, various slot and vending machines, and devices related to medical technology and meteorology.

Scanfil's network of factories consists of 12 production units in Europe, Asia and North America. The total number of employees is 3,500.

Scanfil's group structure changed on 2 July 2015, when the company acquired 98.6% of the shares in the Swedish contract manufacturing group PartnerTech AB. The remaining shares will be acquired through the compulsory acquisition process.

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 2016 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 revalued.

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 noncontrolling 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.

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-of-month 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 products 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. As a rule, this takes place when the products are delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of agreement. Revenue from services is recognised for the accounting period in which the services are delivered to the customer. 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 recognized using the effective interest rate method 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.

Employee benefits

Post-employment benefits

Pension arrangements related to post-employment benefits are classified as defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Group does not have significant defined benefit pension plans. Most of Scanfil's obligations towards its employees are comprised of various defined contribution pension plans. Pension contributions for defined contribution pension plans are recognised as expenses for the year during which they are accrued.

There is a multi-employer supplementary defined benefit pension plan for employees in industry and commerce secured by Alecta in Sweden. Because Alecta is unable to furnish Scanfil with information that would enable the plan to be reported as a defined benefit plan in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits, it is reported as a defined contribution plan. Financial statements of 2015 include also some defined benefit plans of lower value.

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. 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.

Long-term customer relationships

In connection with the allocation of the purchase price related to the acquisition of PartnerTech, the Group has allocated part of the purchase price to long-term customer relationships. Following the initial recognition, customer relationships are measured at cost less accrued depreciation and impairment. The useful life of customer relationships is ten years, during which capitalised expenses are recorded as expenses using straight-line depreciation.

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 straight-line 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 3–10 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 cashgenerating 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 cash-generating 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 are classified as held for sale or to be discontinued are presented separately on 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 records derivatives not eligible for hedge accounting at fair value through profit or loss.

Investments held to maturity are financial assets not included in derivative 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 2016.

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-for-sale 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.

Regarding the Group's financial liabilities, the derivative liabilities are recognized at fair value and the Group's financial liabilities are recognized at amortized cost.

The financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the value date, apart from derivative contracts which are recognized on the transaction date.

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 swap used to hedge the variable-rate loan. 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 currency derivatives entered into for hedging purposes, but they are not subjected to hedge accounting; instead, the changes in fair value are recognized 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. The provisions mainly consist of the costs of reorganizing the unprofitable factory network and of the costs of shutting down the operations, as well as of provisions for customer complaints and guarantees.

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.

Business segments

The Group's reporting is based on the business segments Asia and Europe & USA.

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.

Estimates by the management are also included in the assessment of possible credit loss risks included in the accounts receivable.

Furthermore, the management also uses its discretion when recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets.

New and amended standards applied during the financial year

Scanfil Group has observed the following new and amended standards from the beginning of 2016:

Annual Improvements to IFRSs (2012-2014 cycle) (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The annual improvements process provides a mechanism for minor and non-urgent amendments to IFRSs to be grouped together and issued in one package annually. The cycle contains amendments to four standards. Their impacts vary standard by standard but are not significant.

Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure Initiative (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016). The amendments clarify the guidance in IAS 1 in relation to applying the materiality concept, disaggregating line items in the balance sheet and in the statement of profit or loss, presenting subtotals and to the structure and accounting policies in the financial statement. The amendments have had a minor impact on presentation in Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments state that revenue-based methods of depreciation cannot be used for property, plant and equipment and may only be used in limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets if revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible assets are highly correlated. Revenue-based methods of depreciation cannot be used for tangible assets. The amendments have had no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments to IAS 27 will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The amendments have had no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 clarify the requirements for preparing consolidated financial statements when there are investment entities within the group. The amendments also provide relief for non-investment entities for equity accounting of investment entities. The amendments have had no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments require business combination accounting to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments have had no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years

Scanfil plc has not yet adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations already issued by the IASB. The Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year.

* not yet endorsed for use by the European Union as of 31 December 2016.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018): The new standard replaces current IAS 18 and IAS 11 -standards and related interpretations. In IFRS 15 a five-step model is applied to determine when to recognise revenue, and at what amount. Revenue is recognised when (or as) a company transfers control of goods or services to a customer either over time or at a point in time. The standard introduces also extensive new disclosure requirements. The Group has analyzed the potential impacts of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements of Scanfil plc. The key concepts of the IFRS have been analyzed from the point of different revenue flows. The Group's turnover is mainly generated from customer agreements, where the sales of goods are the only performance obligation in the contract. The Group fulfils the performance obligation on a certain point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer. Typically, control is transferred when the goods are delivered in compliance with the terms of delivery. In the sales of services, the performance obligations are fulfilled over time, and the Group recognizes the sales revenues at the pace that the performance obligation is fulfilled. Introduction of the standard is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 15 - Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments include clarifications and further examples on how to apply certain aspects of the five-step recognition model. The impact assessment of the clarifications has been included in the IFRS 15 impact assessment described above.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018): IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39. The new standard includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. The Group estimates that the adoption of the standard will not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019): The new standard replaces the current IAS 17 –standard and related interpretations. IFRS 16 requires the lessees to recognise the lease agreements on the balance sheet as a right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting model is similar to current finance lease accounting according to IAS 17. There are two exceptions available, these relate to either short term contacts in which the lease term is 12 months or less, or to low value items i.e. assets of value USD 5 000 or less. The lessor accounting remains mostly similar to current IAS 17 accounting. The Group has started the preliminary assessment of the effects of the standard. According to it, the amendment of the standard will affect the consolidated financial statements of Scanfil plc, because the Group has subsidiaries operating in leased premises.

Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows- Disclosure Initiative* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The changes were made to enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes. The amendments have an impact on the disclosures in Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses *(effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The amendments clarify that the existence of a deductible temporary difference depends solely on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of the reporting period, and is not affected by possible future changes in the carrying amount or expected manner of recovery of the asset. The amendments have no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 2 Sharebased payments - Clarification and Measurement of Sharebased Payment Transactions * (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments clarify the accounting for certain types of arrangements. Three accounting areas are covered: measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; classification of sharebased payments settled net of tax withholdings; and accounting for a modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments have no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts - Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments respond to industry concerns about the impact of differing effective dates by allowing two optional solutions to alleviate temporary accounting mismatches and volatility. The amendments have no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Join Venture * (the effective date has been postponed indefinitely). The amendments address to clarify the requirements in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments have no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 22 Interpretation Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018). When foreign currency consideration is paid or received in advance of the item it relates to – which may be an asset, an expense or income – IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates is not clear on how to determine the transaction date for translating the related item. The interpretation clarifies that the transaction date is the date on which the company initially recognises the prepayment or deferred income arising from the advance consideration. For transactions involving multiple payments or receipts, each payment or receipt gives rise to a separate transaction date. The interpretation has no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property - Transfers of Investment Property* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018). When making transfers of an investment property, the amendments clarify that a change in management's intentions, in isolation, provides no evidence of a change in use. The examples of evidences of a change in use are also amended so that they refer to property under construction or development as well as to completed property. The amendments have no impact on Scanfil plc's consolidated financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs (2014-2016 cycle)* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017 for IFRS 12 and on or after 1 January 2018 for IFRS 1 and IAS 28). The annual improvements process provides a mechanism for minor and non-urgent amendments to IFRSs to be grouped together and issued in one package annually. The cycle contains amendments to three standards. Their impacts vary standard by standard but are not significant.

1. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group reports geographically operating segments: Asia and Europe&USA. The segment information is based on internal reporting by the management, prepared according to the principles of IFRS standards. CEO is the highest operational decision maker.

The Group has manufacturing units in Finland, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Estonia, USA, China and trading company in Hong Kong.

An operating segment's assets include all assets used in the segment's business operations, primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. An operating segment's liabilities include all liabilities related to operations, ing taxes and accrued liabilities.

Scanfil Plc has acquired the share capital of Swedish contract manufacturing group PartnerTech AB through a public offer. The acquisition date was 2 July 2015. PartnerTech AB has been consolidated to Scanfil Group since 1st July 2015. For this reason, the previous year's figures are not comparable.

Scanfil underwent a significant restructuring program during the 2016 financial period, relating to the integration of the Scanfil and PartnerTech Groups, the elimination of overlapping functions and the restructuring of loss-producing plants.

Negotiations to adjust the operations of Scanfil Sweden Ab's Norwegian subsidiary Partnertech AS ended on January 11, 2016. Based on the results of the negotiations, the Board of Directors of PartnerTech AS decided to start shutting down the plant. The plant was shut down by the end of June. The shutdown of the operations had a negative effect of EUR 4.7 million on the results. Corresponding impairment and cost provisions were recognized in the first quarter.

The Board of Directors of Scanfil Sweden AB decided to sell the entire share capital of its subsidiary PartnerTech Aerodyn AB, located in Karlskoga, Sweden, for a cash purchase price of EUR 350,000. The contract of sale was signed on February 19, 2016. The transaction was completed on April 11, 2016. The transaction resulted in a non-recurring loss of around EUR 1.2 million for Scanfil Group. The loss was recognized in the Group's results for the 2015 financial period.

The statutory labor negotiations of Scanfil Sweden AB's English subsidiary Scanfil Limited ended on April 25, 2016. Based on the results of the negotiations, Scanfil Limited's Board of Directors decided to start shutting down the plant. The shutdown of the plant resulted in costs of approximately EUR 1.3 million. The measures were completed during July 2016, and the effect on the results mainly affected the second quarter of 2016. Some of the customer accounts of discontinued Scanfil Limited will continue at other Scanfil plants in Europe.

The Board of Directors of Scanfil Sweden AB decided, on May 10, 2016, to sell the entire share capital of its subsidiary PartnerTech Karlskoga AB, located in Karlskoga, Sweden, at a nominal purchase price. The sale caused a loss of approximately EUR 5 million to Scanfil group, and it decreased the net debt of the Group by approximately EUR 2 million, which were recognized in the second quarter of 2016.

Scanfil Sweden AB's Chinese subsidiary Partnertech Electronics Co., Ltd decided, on June 27, 2016, to discontinue production at the Dongguan plant in China. Production at the plant closed down during the third quarter. The discontinuation of operations resulted in costs of approximately EUR 2.4 million, of which around EUR 1 million had a cash effect. Some of Dongguan's customer accounts will continue at Scanfil's plants in Hangzhou and Suzhou.

The statutory labor negotiations of Scanfil Sweden AB's Finnish subsidiary, Scanfil Vantaa Oy, ended on November 1, 2016. Based on the results of the negotiations, Scanfil Vantaa Oy's Board of Directors decided to start shutting down the production of the plant. The shutdown of the production is expected to result in a non-recurring expense of approximately EUR 0.4 million. The measures are expected to be completed by June 30, 2017, and the effect on profit and loss will primarily affect the fourth quarter of 2016.

Scanfil EMS Oy's Hungarian subsidiary, Scanfl Kft, decided, on November 10, 2016, to shut down the plant located in Biatorbágy, Hungary. The shutdown of the plant is expected to result in a non-recurring expense of approximately EUR 1.1 million, and it will mainly affect the fourth quarter of 2016. Most of the measures are scheduled to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2017. The shutdown of the Hungarian plant completes the restructuring related to the integration of the PartnerTech AB's plant network.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING

A test concerning the impairment of goodwill and other assets was carried out at Scanfil Group on 31 December 2016. 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 is EUR 10.6 million. Recorded goodwill from acquisition of Scanfil Sweden Ab (former PartnerTech) was EUR 6.9 million, which is allocated as follows: Poland EUR 3.6 million, Åtvidaberg EUR 1.9 million and Vellinge EUR 1.4 million. Of the goodwill, EUR 3.6 million is allocated to the business operations acquired in Germany in 2014.

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 2016, the discount rates before taxes were as follows:

2016 2015
Germany 13,20 % 13,10 %
Poland 13,50 % 12,70 %
Vellinge 12,80 % 13,00 %
Åtvidaberg 12,90 % 13,00 %

Based on the impairment testing carried out on 31 December 2016, the Germany unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 2,6 (12.4) million, or 33% (138%). The Poland unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 44.6 (74.2) million, or 138% (253%). The Åtvidaberg unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 29.1 (24.9) million, or 296% (298%).

The Vellinge unit's value in use exceeds its book value by EUR 8.7 (10.3) million, or 94 % (108%). 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 +3.7% in the discount rate for Germany (+16.4% in 2015) and a change of +13.7% +(23.8%) for Poland, +29 % (+32.0%) for Åtvidaberg and +11.1% (+12.1%) for Vellinge would cause the recoverable amount of the unit to be equal to its book value.

A change of -19 (-59) in EBITDA (%) for Germany and a change of -42 (-63) % for Poland, -67 (-78) % for Åtvidaberg and -43 (-50) % for Vellinge 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.

What comes to Poland, Vellinge and Atvidaberg, the recoverable amount of money from first five years of the forecast period would already be sufficient to cover the carrying value of the test.

A change of -7 (-100) % in terminal growth for Germany would cause the recoverable amount of the unit to be equal to its book value.

The credit is paid off semi-annually, the first instalment of EUR 5.3 million is paid on 25th November 2016 and the last 25th November 2019; the remainder of EUR 13.3 million due on the date of expiry of the contract, 25th May 2020. Scanfil EMS Oy raised financial loan of EUR 40.0 million in 2010, that was paid by the end of year 2015.

The company has an interest rate swap related to the hedging of credit. The purpose of the hedge is to protect against the impact of changes in cash flows related to floating rate loan. The hedge is used to swap the variable rate EUR denominated loan interest payments into a fixed payments. Scanfil pays a fixed rate of 0.41% on a quarterly basis in addition to the loan margin. 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.

On December 31, 2016, the rated amount of the interest swap agreement was EUR 44.8 million, and it will expire on May 25, 2020. The fair value of the derivative was EUR -664 thousand, including accumulated interest.

The interest flows of the derivative will materialize at the same time as the interest flows of the loan.

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. There were no transfers between tiers during the financial period.

29. DERIVATIVES, 1000 EUR

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Scanfil Group is exposed to various financial risks in its business activities. The Group's treasury operations and financial risks are managed centrally in the parent company based on the principles approved by the Board. The financial function of Scanfil is part of the Group´s financial management and it offers and handles financial transactions centrally for all Group companies. 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 risk management objective is to reduce the uncertainty caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates in respect of the Group's earnings, cash flows and balance sheet. 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.

Financial statements as of December 31, 2016 include outstanding EUR/PLN forward exchange contracts made for hedging purposes to which no hedge accounting is applied. Their rated value was EUR 16.0 million. Forward contracts have mainly been made on a monthly basis, and the final contract will expire on November 29, 2017. The forward contract hedges outgoing payments denominated in the Polish zloty, such as salaries and taxes, because there are no Polish sales gains in the local currency.

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.

Financial risk

The changes in exchange rates should not have a significant effect on the long term competitiveness of the company. The aim is to reduce risk with primary operational means such as purchase and sales agreements on commercial terms and conditions. With most customers pricing is adjusted either monthly or quarterly cycles.

Interest rate risk

The yield of the financial investments and interest-bearing liabilities carry an interest rate risk. The Group has cash assets, and changes in interest rates may affect on the Group's result. However, the impact is not significant. Changes in interest rates mainly affect the current market value of the liabilities with interest of the balance sheet, and the debt-related interest payments. Interest rate risks are managed using interest rate swaps. The Group has one EUR 50 million interest-bearing loan, which was taken out in 2015 and the interest rate of which has been fixed through an interest swap agreement for a fixed loan period of five years. Based on the interest rate swap agreement, Scanfil receives a 3-month Euribor variable interest rate and pays fixed five-year interest. Scanfil applies hedging to the interest swap agreement. The loan interest margin includes covenant conditions. Depending on how the interest-bearing liabilities of the fulfilment of interest covenant develop relative to the operating margin, during the 2017 accounting period the interest expenses of the loan may rise by at most EUR 63 thousand, and may fall by at most EUR 146 thousand.

Credit risk

The credit risk of the Group is related to accounts receivables from customers. The aging of accounts receivables is monitored regularly every month at the Group level. 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. The creditworthiness of new customers is checked and customers are granted only the usual terms of payment. According to the view of the Group's management, the company does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The largest customer share of Group turnover is approximately 11%, and the share of the ten largest customers is 56%. The risk regarding financing is controlled by accepting only banks with high credit ratings as counterparties.

During the financial year, the Group has recorded credit losses on accounts receivable of EUR 359 thousand (EUR 235 thousand in 2015), of which EUR 318 thousand (EUR 195 thousand) were accounted for by credit losses of reorganised and sold companies, and by written-down uncertain sales receivables. The sales receivables contain EUR 143 thousand of uncertain receivables, for which a bad debt allowance has been entered.

Liquidity risk

The aim of cash and liquidity management is to centralize the management of cash equivalents of the Group and thus ensure that funds are used efficiently. The Group is using Multicurrency Global Cash Pool, which ensures the efficient use of the Group´s cash and cash equivalents. The Group's liquid assets on 31 December 2016 were EUR 20.2 million (EUR 22.3 million in 2015). In addition, the Group has a credit limit for EUR 30.9 million. Considering the Group's balance sheet structure, the liquidity risk is small. The Group's bank loans include regular loan covenant terms. During the financial year 2016, the Group fulfilled the covenant terms associated with the loans and they are not at risk of rupture.

Measurement and recognition principles and methods

Fixed assets

Fixed assets 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 depreciation periods are:

Buildings and structures 5 years
Machines and equipment 5 years
Other tangible assets 3-5 years

Shares in subsidiaries

Shares in subsidiaries have been measured at the acquisition cost, which is adjusted by impairment if the future returns on the investment are expected to be permanently lower than the acquisition cost.

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.

Sales

The parent company's operations consist of Group functions, and income from the sale of services is presented as net sales.

Pension expenses

The pension cover of employees is provided by pension insurance companies. Pension expenses are recognized as expenses for the year during which they are accrued.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency-denominated transactions are recognized during the financial period using the exchange rates on the transaction date. Any foreign currency-denominated balance sheet items remaining outstanding on the closing date are measured at the exchange rate valid on the closing date.

In 2015, Scanfil plc withdrew a long-term loan of EUR 50 million. The company uses an interest swap agreement to hedge the loan. The purpose of the hedge is to offer protection against interest rate fluctuations related to the variable-rate loan. Through hedging, the interest payments of the variable-rate euro-denominated loan are changed to have a fixed rate. Scanfil pays a fixed rate of 0.41% every quarter, in addition to the bank's rate.

The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured, and the hedge is expected to remain fully effective throughout the validity of the hedge. The agreement expiry date is May 25, 2020. Effectiveness is evaluated every quarter, and the hedge has remained effective. The impact of the derivative on results is expected to materialize during the validity of the loan. The fair value of the derivative is presented as an off-balance sheet item.

TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SCANFIL PLC

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Scanfil Plc (business identity code 2422742-9) for the year ended 31 December, 2016. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

In our opinion

• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU

• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality is determined based on our professional judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set is based on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have influence on the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

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.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

THE KEY AUDIT MATTER HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related customer relationships (Refer to Accounting principles for consolidated financial statements and note 12 and 13)

Goodwill and acquisition-related customer relationships amount to EUR 22.1 million.

Goodwill is not amortized, instead it is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. Impairment tests are based on future cash flow forecasts and determining the underlying key assumptions require management judgment.

Scanfil's acquisition-related long-term customer relationships have finite useful lives that are estimated by management through the application of judgement.

Due to the high level of judgment related to the forecasts used in goodwill impairment tests and the significant carrying amounts involved, impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related customer relationships are considered key judgmental areas that our audit is focused on.

We assessed the key assumptions used in the calculations, such as growth of turnover, profitability and discount rate, with relation to the budgets approved by the Board, external references and our own views.

We involved KPMG valuation specialists when assessing the technical accuracy of the calculations and comparing the assumptions used with external market and industry data.

In respect of acquisition-related customer relationships, we evaluated the recoverability of these assets by inspecting the associated calculations and underlying assumptions.

In addition, we considered the appropriateness of the Group's disclosures in respect of goodwill, acquisitionrelated customer relationships and impairment testing.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Valuation of inventories (Refer to Accounting principles for consolidated financial statements and note 17)

Inventory management, stock-taking practices and determination of cost are the key elements in inventory valuation. The Group's inventories amounted to EUR 85 million representing 32 percent of the consolidated total assets as at 31 December 2016.

Inventory valuation involves the exercise of judgement by management surrounding determination of cost and any impaired inventories.

Due to management judgments and the significant carrying amount involved, valuation of inventories is considered a key audit matter.

We assessed the appropriateness of the inventory valuation principles applied.

Our audit procedures comprised testing of controls over inventory management and the accuracy of inventory amounts. We also performed substantive procedures to evaluate the accuracy of inventory valuation.

We attended stock takes in order to assess the process effectiveness.

Revenue recognition (Refer to Accounting principles for consolidated financial statements and note 1)

The number of sales transactions processed in the IT systems is significant and pricing responsibilities for products and services are decentralized.

Due to the nature of the industry, the effectiveness of the internal controls over the IT systems and pricing are critical in respect of the accuracy of revenue recognition.

Application of consistent revenue recognition principles is considered a key audit matter.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition principles applied.

As part of our audit procedures we tested internal controls over registration of sales transactions, recording related revenues and approval of changes.

Our substantive procedures included testing of inclusion of relevant transactions in the appropriate period, comparing invoice details to the received payments and assessing the appropriateness of the bad debt provision recognized.

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 good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, 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 parent company's or the group's internal control.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director'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 parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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 parent company or the group 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 so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

Other Reporting Requirements

Other Information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises information included in the report of the Board of Directors and in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. We obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor's report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above 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 report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

If, based on the work we have performed on the report of the Board of Directors, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

DESCRIPTIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES AND THE MAIN FEATURES OF RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS

Risk Management

The Board of Directors of Scanfil plc is responsible for ensuring the appropriate organization of the Group's risk management and internal control and audit.

Risk management is based on a risk management policy approved by the Board, aimed at managing 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 plc's internal control is a continuous process used to ensure profitable and uninterrupted operation. The control function aims to minimize 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 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 harmonized business processes included in the control system. The Group's financial administration co-ordinates the financial management of the Group.

The controls included 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. The management's monthly reporting is a fundamental part of financial control. It includes producing a rolling forecast, the result of business operations carried out and an analysis of the differences between the forecast and the actual result. The indicators monitored in monthly reporting have been set so as to support the achievement of shared Group-level and unit-specific 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 are 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 harmonized ERP system and shared reporting tools. The use of standardized tools enables continuous control and successful change management.

Internal Audit

The company uses internal auditing that, in co-operation with other Group functions, handles internal auditing duties and makes regular reports to the CEO and the Board.
