2. General)principles)
windeln.de+GmbH+ is+ the+ parent+ company+ of+ the+ windeln.de+Group+ (hereinafter+ also+ referred+ to+ as+ 'windeln.de'+or+the+'Group').+As+of 31+December+2013,+the+windeln.de+Group+stayed+below the+size+ criteria+pursuant+to+§+293+para.+1+of+the+German+Commercial+Code+(HGB).+Therefore+the+Company+is+ also,+as+of 31+December+2014,+released+from+its+duty+defined+by+national+law+to+prepare consolidated+ financial+ statements+ and+ a+ group+ management+ report.+ On+ 31+ December+ 2014,+ the+ Company+ voluntarily+ prepared+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ for+ the+ first+ time+ according+ to+ the+ International+Financial+Reporting+Standards+(IFRS)+as+adopted in+the+EU.+
The+ comparative figures+ for+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ as+ of 31+ December+ 2014+ were+ derived+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ an+ IFRS+ opening+ balance+ as+ of 1+ January+ 2012.+ The+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ take+ into+ account+ all+ issued+ IFRS+ as+ of the+ balance+ sheet+ date+ and+ adopted in+ the+ European+Union.+By+adhering+to+the+Standards+and+Interpretations,+a+true+and+fair+representation+of+ the+net+asset,+financial+income position+of+windeln.de+GmbH is+obtained.
Management+has+prepared+and+approved+ the+consolidated+ financial+ statements+on 13+March+2015+ and+has+forwarded+the+financial+statements+to+the+shareholders+meeting according+to+IAS+10.
Voluntarily+prepared+consolidated+financial+statements+for+the+years+2012,+2013+and+2014 3. Explanation)of)transition)to)IFRS)
windeln.de GmbH+ prepares+ its+ separate+ financial+ statements+ in+ accordance+ with+ the+ national+ accounting+ principles+ as+ set+ out+ in+ the+ German+ Commercial+ Code+ (HGB).+ In+ previous+ reporting+ periods,+ the+Group+has+not+prepared+consolidated+ financial+statements+in+accordance with+national+ accounting+principles.
windeln.de+ GmbH+ has+ voluntarily+ prepared as+ of+ 31+ December+ 2014 consolidated+ financial+ statements in+accordance+with+ the+International+Financial+Reporting+Standards+ (IFRS) as+adopted+in+ the+EU+for+the+first+time.+The consolidated+financial+statements+are+in+accordance+with+all+IFRS+which+ must+be+applied as+of 31+December+2014.+The+use+of+individual+IFRS+standards is+described+in+more+ detail+under+the+bullet+point+"Summary+of+significant+balance+sheet+and+evaluation+methods".
IFRS+1+"FirstEtime+Adoption+of+International+Financial+Reporting+Standards"+allows+firstEtime+adopters+ certain+ exceptions from+ the+ principles+ according+ to+ which+ the+ IFRS+ which+ are+ in+ force+ as+ of 31+ December+2014+must+be+applied retrospectively.+The+Group+has+not+applied any+of+these+exceptions.
Since+the+Company+has+previously+not+prepared+any+consolidated+ financial+statements+according+to+ national+accounting+principles+and+therefore+no+comparable+information+is+available,+a+reconciliation+ is+not+necessary+pursuant+to+IFRS+1.
The+ material+ differences+ between+ the+ Group+ companies'+ individual+ financial+ statements+ required+ under+commercial+law+and+the+IFRS+consolidated+financial+statements+are+outlined+below:
- E In+the+local financial+statements+of+the+German+Company,+the+option+to+capitalise+internally+ developed intangible+assets+was+exercised+in+2013 for+ the+ first+ time.+This capitalisation+was+ already+included in+ the+IFRS+consolidated+ financial+statements+in+2012,+since+all+ recognition+ criteria+pursuant+to+IAS+38 were+met.
- E In+ the+ IFRS+ consolidated+ financial+ statements,+ contracts+ were+ classified+ as+ financial+ leases,+ whereas+ the+ contracts+ in+ the+ local consolidated+ financial+ statements+ were+ classified+ as+ operating+leases.
- E In+ the+ local financial+ statements+a+ provision+ for+ returns+was+recorded,+whereas+in+ the+IFRS+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ a liability was+ presented as+ a+ gross+ figure,+ i.e.+ a+ claim+ against+ customers+ for+returns of+goods+was+ recognised,+along+with+an+ obligation+ to+ refund+ the+consideration to customers.
- E According+ to+IFRS,+ the+Swiss+companies'+pension+commitments are+an+obligation+ that+must+ be+ recognised+ since+ they+ are+ classified+ as+ defined+ benefit+ plans,+ whereas+ there+ is+ no+ obligation+ to+ recognise+ those in+ the+ local+ financial+ statements+ since+ these+ schemes+ are+ classified+locally+as+defined+contribution+plans.
4. Summary)of)significant)accounting)and)valuation)methods)
4.1 Basis)of)preparation)of)financial)statements)
The+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ are+ prepared+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ recognition+ of+ assets+ and+ liabilities+at+amortised+costs,+ reduced+ by+ the+measurement+of+ specific+ financial+assets+and+ financial+ liabilities+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss.+The+assets+and+liabilities are+recognised+according+to+the+ reporting+and+evaluation+principles+of+ the+ relevant+IAS+or+IFRS,+which+are+described+in+detail+in+ the+ following+section+of+this+chapter.
The+ Company+ presents+ its consolidated+ statement+ of+ profit+ and+ loss and+ other+ comprehensive+ income+in+a+single+statement+using+the+cost+of+sales+method.
The+ consolidated+ statement+ of+ financial+ position+ is+ classified+ based+ on+ the+ maturity+ of+ assets+ and+ liabilities.+ Assets+ which+ can+ be+ sold within+ twelve+ months+ or+ used+ or+ settled+ in+ normal+ business+ transactions+ are+ classified+ as+ current.+ Liabilities+ are+ classified+ as+ current+ provided+ they+ are+ settled+ within+twelve+months+following+the+balance+sheet+date.+Assets+and+liabilities+with+a+maturity+of+more+ than+one+year+are+classified+as+nonEcurrent.+Deferred+tax+assets+and+liabilities+are+classified+according+ to+IAS+1.56+as+nonEcurrent+assets+or+liabilities.
The+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ have+ been+ prepared+ in+ Euros+ (EUR),+ which+ represents+ the+ functional+and+reporting+currency+of+windeln.de+GmbH.+Unless+otherwise+indicated,+all+figures+in+the+ notes+ to+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ are+ rounded+ up+ or+ down+to+ the+ nearest+ thousand+ (kEUR).+ In+ the+ tables+ in+ the+ notes+ to+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements,+ therefore,+ rounding+ differences+may+occur.
The+financial+year+comprises+one+calendar+year+for+all+Group+companies+except+of+stub financial+years+ in+the+year+of+founding.
Preparing consolidated+financial+statements+in+accordance+with+IFRS+requires+estimates+to+be+made.+ In+addition,+applying+ the+ CompanyEwide+accounting+and+evaluation+methods+ requires+estimates on+ the+part+of+management.+Areas+involving+a+broader+scope+of+assessment+or+increased+complexity+or+ areas+ in+ which+ assumptions+ and+ estimates+ are+ of+ crucial+ importance+ to+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+ are+ mentioned+ under+ the+ section+ 'Significant+ accounting+ judgements,+ estimates+ and+ assumptions'.

4.3 Consolidation)principles)
The+ financial+statements+of+the+consolidated+companies+ (the+parent+company+and+two+subsidiaries)+ have+ been+ prepared+ in+ accordance+ with+ the+ accounting+ and+ evaluation+ methods+ of+ the+ parent+ company.+No+joint+ventures+or+associated+companies+have+been+consolidated.+The+ultimate parent of+ the+ Group,+ windeln.de+ GmbH,+ has+ control+ over+ all+ the+ subsidiaries+ included+ in+ the+ consolidated+ financial+statements+by+holding+majorities+of+the+voting+rights+with+respect+to+those+companies.

Software+licences
Acquired+software+licences+are+capitalized+on+the+basis+of+those+costs+which arise+during+acquisition+ as+well+as+for+preparing+the software+for+its+intended+use.+These+costs+are+amortised on+a+straightEline+ basis+over+an+estimated+useful+life of+three+years.+The+net+book+values,+useful lives+and+amortisation methods+are+verified at+each+balance+sheet+date+and+prospectively+adjusted+where+appropriate.+If+the+ recoverable+amount+of+an+asset+is+less+ than+its+carrying+amount,+ the+carrying+amount+is+reduced+ to+ the+recoverable+amount+in+accordance+with+IAS+36.+An+appreciation+in+value+up to+amortised+cost+is+ recorded if an+indication+that a+previously+recorded+impairment loss+may+no+longer+exist.
SelfEdeveloped software
Costs+for+internally+generated+intangible+assets+are+recognised+in+profit+or+loss,+with+the+exception+of+ development+ costs+ which+ can+ be+ capitalised.+ Development+ costs+ of+ a+ single+ project+ are+ only+ capitalised+as+an+intangible+asset+if+the+following+criteria+pursuant+to+IAS 38+have+been+met:
- Newly+developed+software+is+an+identifiable+asset.
- Completing+the+intangible+asset+is technically+feasible.
- The+management+intends+to+complete+and+use+the+software+product.
-
It+is+probable that+the+software+product+will+generate+future+economic+benefits.
-
Adequate+technical,+financial,+and+other+resources+are+available+so+that+the+development+can+ be+completed+and+the+software+product+can+be+used.
- The expenditure+during+development+can+be+reliably+measured.
Those+ costs+ directly+ attributable+ to+ the+ software+ product+ include+ personnel+ costs+ for+ members+ of+ staff+involved+in+the+development+process,+an+appropriate+part+of+the+corresponding+overhead costs+ and+costs+for+external+resources+used.
Subsequent+ acquisition or+ manufacturing+ costs+ are+ only+ capitalised as+ part+ of+ the+ acquisition or+ manufacturing+costs+of+the+asset+or+as+a+separate+asset+if+it+is+likely+that+this+will+result+in+economic+ benefits for+the+Group+in+the+future+and+the+costs+of+the+asset+can+be+measured reliably.
Development+costs+already+recorded+as+expenditure+are+not+capitalised+in+a+subsequent+period.
Capitalised+development+costs+for+software+are+amortised on+a+straightEline+basis+over+the+period+of+ expected+future+benefit (generally+three+years).+Amortisation+of+the+asset+begins+when+development+ is+ complete+ and+ the+ asset+ is+ available+ for+ use.+ The+ net+ book+ values,+ economic+ useful lives+ and+ amortisation+ methods+ are+ verified at+ each+ balance+ sheet+ date+ and+ prospectively+ adjusted+ where+ appropriate.+ If+ the+ recoverable+ amount+ of+ an+ asset+ is+ less+ than+ its+ carrying+ amount,+ the+ carrying+ amount+is+reduced+to+the+recoverable+amount+in+accordance+with+IAS+36.+An+appreciation+in+value+up+ to+amortised+cost+is+recorded if there+is+an+indication+that+a+previously+recorded+impairment+loss+may+ no+longer+exist.
During+the+period+of+development,+the+asset+is+tested+for+impairment+at+the+balance+sheet+date.
Research+costs+are+expensed+as+incurred.
Domains
Acquired domains are+ capitalised+ as+ intangible+ assets+ with+ indefinite useful lives+ and+ are+ not+ amortised.
The+ assessment+ of+ indefinite+ life+ is+ reviewed+ annually+ to+ determine+ whether+ the+ indefinite+ life+ continues+ to+ be+ supportable.+If+ not,+ the+ change in+ useful+life+ from+indefinite+to+ finite+is+made+on+a+ prospective+basis.
An+impairment+test+is+carried+out+at+least+once+a+year+for+each+individual+domain+or+at+the+level+of+the+ cashEgenerating+ unit.+ If+ the+ recoverable+ amount+ of+ an+ asset+ is+ less+ than+ its+ carrying+ amount,+ the+ carrying+amount+is+reduced+to+the+recoverable+amount+in+accordance+with+IAS+36.+An+appreciation+in+ value+up+to+amortised+cost+is+recorded+if there+is+an+indication+that+a+previously+recorded+impairment+ loss+may+no+longer+exist.
Intangible+assets+acquired+within a+business+combination
The+acquisition+costs+of+intangible+assets+acquired+within a+business+combination+correspond+to+the+ fair+value+at the+acquisition+date.
The+Group+ has+capitalised+an acquired+ customer+list.+This+will+ be+amortised on+a+ straightEline+ basis+ over+the+expected useful life+of+five+years.
Furthermore,+ the+ Group+ has+ acquired+ the+ domains+ toys.ch+ and+ kindertraum.ch+ as+ a+ result+ of+ the+ acquisition+of windeln.ch+AG+(formerly:+Kindertraum.ch+AG).+These+domains+have+been+recognised+at+
their+ fair+ value+ at+ the acquisition date as intangible+ assets+ with+ an indefinite+ useful life.+ For+ their+ subsequent+measurement,+see "Domains"+section+above.
Goodwill
Goodwill+ is+ not+ amortised but+ subject to+ an+ annual+ impairment+ test+ in+ accordance+ with+ IAS 36+ (impairment+only+approach).
Goodwill+is+allocated to+cashEgenerating+units+(CGU)+for+the+purpose+of+the+impairment+test.+Goodwill+ is allocated+ to those+ CGUs+ or+ groups+ of+ CGUs+ that+ can+ be+ expected+ to+ benefit from+ the+ goodwill acquired+in+a+business+combination.+Each+CGU or+group+of+CGUs to+which+the+goodwill+is+allocated+ represents+ the+ lowest+ level+ within+ the+ Company+ at+ which+ goodwill+ is+ monitored for+ internal+ management+purposes.
Goodwill+is+monitored at+the+level+of+the+business+segment.
An+assessment+of+whether+an+impairment+of+goodwill+has+occurred+is+undertaken+once+a+year+on+31+ December.+ In+ case there+ is+ any+ triggering+ event+ during+ the+ financial+ year+ that+ indicates+ that+ the+ acquired+goodwill+may+be+impaired,+the+goodwill+is+then+tested+for+impairment.+The+carrying+amount of+ the+ goodwill+ is+ compared+ to the+recoverable amount,+ i.e.+ the+ higher+ of+ fair+ value+ less+ costs+ of+ disposal+and+the+value in+use.+An impairment+loss is+recognised immediately+in+profit+or+loss and+will+ not be reversed in+subsequent+periods.
4.6 Fixed)assets)
All+ fixed+ assets+ are+stated+ at cost,+ net+ of+ accumulated+ depreciation+ and+ accumulated+ impairment+ losses,+if+any. The+costs+of+the+fixed+assets+contain+all+costs directly+attributable+to+the+acquisition+and+ costs+ directly+ attributable+ to+ bringing+ the+ asset+ to+ a+ condition+ necessary+ for+ it to+ be+ capable+ of+ operating.+Discounts,+incentives+and+rebates are+deducted+from+the+purchase+price.
All+ subsequent+ costs+ which+ cannot+ be+ capitalised+ as+ well+ as+ maintenance+ costs+ are+ recognised+ in+ profit+or+loss in+the+period+in+which+they+occur.
Borrowing costs have+ not+ been+ capitalised,+ since+ no+ borrowing costs+ that+ can+ be+ capitalised+ have+ been+incurred+pursuant+to+IAS 23.
Advance+ payments+ for+ undelivered+ fixed+ assets+ or+ incomplete assets+ are+ recognised+ under+ fixed+ assets.
They+are+depreciated+on+a+straightEline+basis+over+the+estimated+economic+useful life.+The+following+ useful lives are+expected:
- Operating+and+office+equipment 3–14+years
The+ assessment+ of+net+ book+ values,+economic+useful lives+and+depreciation methods+are+tested at+ each+balance+sheet+date+and+prospectively+adjusted+where+appropriate.+If+the+recoverable+amount+of+ an+asset+is+less+than+its+carrying+amount,+the+carrying+amount+is+reduced+to+the+recoverable+amount+ in+accordance+with+IAS+36.+The+reduction+is+recorded+as+an+impairment+loss+through+profit+or+loss.+An+
appreciation+ in+ value+ up+ to+ amortised+ cost+ is+ carried+ out+ provided+ there+ is+ an+ indication+ that+ a+ previously+recorded+impairment+loss+may+no+longer+exist+or+may+have+decreased.
A+fixed+asset+is+derecognised upon+disposal+or+when+no+future+economic+benefits+are+expected+from+ its+use+or+disposal.
Profit+ or+ loss resulting+ from+ the+ disposal+ of+ assets+ are+ recorded+ as+ the+ difference+ between+ net+ disposal+proceeds and+the+net+book+value+of+the+ fixed+assets+and+are+recognised+in other+operating+ income or+other+operating+expenses in+the+period+in+which+the+asset+is+derecognised.
4.7 Borrowing)costs)
Borrowing+costs+directly+attributable+ to+ the+acquisition,+construction+or+production+of+an+asset+ that+ necessarily+takes+a+substantial+period+of+time+to+get+ready+for+its+intended+use+or+sale+are+capitalised+ as+part+of+the+cost+of+the+asset.
When+calculating the+amount+of+the+borrowing+costs+that+can+be+capitalised+in+a+period,+all+income from+financial investments, that+have+been temporarily+invested+until+used for+the qualifying+asset, is+ deducted+from+the+borrowing+costs+arising. Borrowing+costs+consist+of+interest+and+other+costs+that+ an+entity+incurs+in+connection+with+the+borrowing of+capital. All+other+borrowing+costs+are+expensed+ in+the+period+in+which+they+occur.
So+far,+no+borrowing+costs+have+been capitalised+pursuant+to+IAS 23.
4.8 Financial)assets)including)trade)receivables)
Definition+of+'financial+instrument'
A+financial+instrument+is+any+contract+that+gives+rise+to+a+financial+asset+of+one+entity+and+a+financial+ liability+or+equity+instrument+of+another+entity.+
Initial+recognition+and+measurement
Financial+ assets+ as+ defined+ in+ IAS+ 39+ are+ classified into+ the+ following+ categories,+ with+ their+ classification+depending+on+the+purpose+for+which+the+financial+assets+have+been+acquired:
- Financial+assets+measured+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss
Financial+assets+measured+at+ fair+value+through+profit+or+loss+are+ financial+assets+which+are+held+ for+ trading+or+which+have+initially+been+designated by+the+management+as+'financial+assets+measured+at+ fair+value+ through+profit+or+loss'.+A+ financial+asset+is+assigned+ to+ this+category+if,+in+principle,+it+has+ been+ acquired+with+ the+ intention+ to+ sell+ in+ the+ short+ term+ or+ has+ been+ designated+ as+ such+ by+ the+ management.+ Derivatives+ also+ belong+ in+ this+ category+ unless+ they+ are+ designated+ as+ hedging+ instruments+ in+ effective+ hedging+ relationships.+ Financial+ assets+ from+ this+ category+ are+ shown+ as+ current+ assets+ if+ they+ are+ to+ be+ expected+ to+ be+settled within+ twelve+months.+ All+ other+ assets+ are+ classified+as+nonEcurrent.+
In+ the+ financial+ year 2012,+ there+were+ no+ financial+assets+ in+ this+ category+ (financial+assets+ held+ for+ trading)+and+Management+did+not+exercise+its+right+to+assign+financial+assets+to+this+category+on+initial+
recognition+(financial+assets+at+fair+value+through+profit+and+loss).+In+2013+and+2014+the+Group+held+a+ financial+ asset+ of+ this+ category+ in form+ of+ a+ contingent+ consideration arising+ from+ a+ business+ combination (financial+assets+held+for+trading).+Management+did+not+designate financial+assets+to+the category+financial+assets+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss+on+initial+recognition.
- Loans+and+receivables
Loans+and+receivables+are+nonEderivative+financial+assets+with+fixed+or+determinable+payments+which+ are+not+listed+in an+active+market.+They+are+classified as+current+assets+provided+that+their+maturities+ do+ not+ exceed+ twelve+ months+ following+ the+ balance+ sheet+ date.+ The+ latter+ are+ presented+ as+ nonE current assets.+ Loans+ and+ receivables+ of+ the+ Group+ are+ classified in+ the+ balance+ sheet+ as 'trade+ receivables'+and+'other+current+ financial+assets'.+Trade+ receivables+include+receivables+due resulting+ from+the sale+of+goods in+the+course+of+normal+business+activities.
- HeldEtoEmaturity+financial+assets+
HeldEtoEmaturity+ investments+ are+ nonEderivative+ financial+ assets+ with+ fixed+ or+ definable+ payments+ and+fixed+retention+periods+which+the+Group+management+is+able to+and+intends+to+hold+to+maturity.+ There+were+no+financial+assets+assigned+to this+category+for+the+financial+years+2014,+2013+and+2012.
- AvailableEforEsale+financial+assets
AvailableEforEsale+ financial+assets+are+nonEderivative+assets+which+were+assigned+ to+ this+category+or not+assigned+ to+any+ of+ the other+ categories.+They+are+assigned+ to+ nonEcurrent+assets+ provided+ the+ management+does+not+intend+to+sell+them within+twelve+months+from+the+balance+sheet+date+and+the+ asset+is+ not+ due+in+ this+ period.+The+availableEforEsale+ financial+assets+are+ recognised+in+ the+ balance+ sheet+under+'other+nonEcurrent+financial+assets'.
The+management+defines the+classification+of+the+financial+assets+at+initial+recognition.
Financial+assets+are+classified+initially at+ fair+value+including+ transaction+costs+with+ the+exception+of+ those+assets+which+are+classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss.+Financial+assets+which+are+initially+ classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss+are+measured at+fair+value+and+corresponding+transaction+ costs+are+recognised+in+profit+or+loss.
Purchases+or+sales+of+financial+assets+that+require+delivery+of+assets+within+a+time+frame+established+ by+regulation+ or+ convention+ in+ the+ market+ place+ (regular+ way+ trades)+ are+ recognised+ on+ the+ trade+ date,+i.e.,+the+date+that+the+Group+commits+to+purchase+or+sell+the+asset.
Subsequent+measurement
The+subsequent+measurement of+financial+assets+is+dependent+on+classification.
- Financial+assets+classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss
In+ the+ statement+ of+ financial+ position+ financial+ assets+ at+ fair+ value+ through+ profit+ or+ loss+ are+ recognised at+ fair+ value+ with+ net+ changes+ in+fair+ value+ presented+ as+ financial expenses or+ financial+ income.
- Loans+and+receivables
After+initial+measurement,+such+ financial assets+are+subsequently+measured+at+amortised+cost+using+ the+ effective+ interest+ rate+ (EIR)+ method,+ less+ impairment,+ if+ any. Amortised+ cost+ is+ calculated+ by+
taking+into+account+any+discount+or+premium+on+acquisition+and+fees+or+costs+that+are an+integral+part+ of+the+EIR.+The+EIR+amortisation+is+included+in+financial income+in+the+statement+of+profit+or+loss.+The+ losses+arising+from+impairment+are+recognised+in+profit+or+loss.
The+amortised+cost of+ trade+receivables,+due+ to+ their+short+ term+maturity, in+general matches their+ fair+values,+taking into+account+any+impairment+losses.
- HeldEtoEmaturity+financial+assets+
After+initial+measurement,+ held+ to+maturity+investments+are+measured+at+amortised+ cost+using+ the+ EIR method,+less+impairment,+if+any.+Amortised+cost+is+calculated+by+taking+into+account+any+discount+ or+premium+on+acquisition+and+fees+or+costs+that+are+an+integral+part+of+the+EIR.+The+EIR+amortisation+ is+included+as+financial income+in+the+statement+of+profit+or+loss.+The+losses+arising+from+impairment+ are+recognised+in+the+statement+of+profit+or+loss+as+financial+expenses.
- AvailableEforEsale+financial+assets+
After+initial+measurement,+availableEforEsale financial+assets+are+subsequently+measured+at+fair value+ with+unrealised+gains+or+losses+recognised+in+OCI+and+credited+in+the+availableEforEsale reserve.
Translation+differences+of+monetary+assets+which+are+registered+in+foreign+currency+and+are+classified+ as+available+for+sale+are+recorded+in profit+or+loss,+whereas+translation+differences+resulting+from+nonE monetary+assets+in+this+category+are+recorded+in other+comprehensive+income/loss+not+affecting+net+ income. If+such+an+asset+is+derecognised, the+cumulative+gain or+loss+is+recognised+in+financial result.+ If+an+asset+is+impaired, the+cumulative+loss+is+ reclassified+ from+ the+availableEforEsale reserve+ to+ the+ statement+of+profit+or+loss+in+financial+expenses.
The+Management evaluates+ whether+ the+ ability+ and+ intention+ to+ sell+ its+ availableEforEsale financial+ assets+in+the+near+term+is+still+appropriate.+When,+in+rare+circumstances,+the+Group+is+unable+to+trade+ these+financial+assets+due+to+inactive+markets and+the+management+has+no+intention+sell+these+assets+ in+ the+ near+ term,+ the+ Group+ may+ elect+ to+ reclassify+ these+ financial+ assets.+ Reclassifying+ to+ the+ category+ of+ loans+ and+ receivables+ is+ allowed+ if+ the+ financial+ asset+ meets the+ criteria of+ loans+ and+ receivables+and+the+management+has+the+ability+and+intention+to+hold+the+assets+for the foreseeable+ future+ or+ until+ maturity.+ Reclassification+ to+ the+ category+ heldEtoEmaturity+ is+ only+ allowed+ if+ the+ management+has+the+ability and+intention to+hold the+financial+asset+according+to+this+classification.
Impairment of+financial+assets
At+each+balance+sheet+date,+ the+carrying+amount of+ financial+assets+which+are+not+measured+at+ fair+ value+through+profit+or+loss,+the+Group+assesses whether+there+is+objective+evidence+that+a+financial+ asset+or+a+group+of+financial+assets+is+impaired. Objective+evidence+can+be,+for+example,+considerable+ financial+ difficulties+ on+ the+ part+ of+ the+ debtor,+ a+ breach+ of+ contract+ such+ as+ a+ default or+ delay+ in+ paying+ interest+ or+ repayments,+ increased+ likelihood+ that+ the+ borrower+ will+ declare+ insolvency+ or+ other restructuring+activities,+the+discontinuation+of+an+active+market,+and+significant+changes+to+the+ technological,+marketErelated,+economic,+ or+ legal+environment.+ For+equity+ instruments+which+were+ categorised+as+available+for+sale,+a+significant+or+longerElasting+decrease+of+the+fair+value+is+objective+ evidence+ of+ impairment.+ A+ loss+ of+at+ least+ 20% of+ the+ initial+ cost is+ seen+ as+ significant,+ and+ a+ time+ frame+will+be+defined+as+longer+lasting+if+it+lastsElonger+than+six+months.
- Financial+assets+carried at+amortised+cost
The+amount+of+an+impairment+loss for+a+financial+asset+carried at+amortised+cost+is+measured+as+the+ difference+ between+ the+ carrying+ amount and+ the+ present+ value+ of+ estimated+ future+ cash+ flows excluding+ future+ expected+ credit+ losses+ that+ have+ not+ yet+ been+ incurred.+ The+ present+ value+ of+ the+
estimated+future+cash+flows+is+discounted+at+the+financial+asset's+original+effective+interest+rate. The+ impairment+loss+is+recognised+in+profit+or+loss. If,+in+a+subsequent+year,+the+amount+of+the+estimated+ impairment+loss+decreases+because+of+an+event+occurring+after+the impairment+was+recognised,+the+ previously+ recognised+ impairment+ loss+ is+ reduced+ by+ adjusting+ the+ allowance+ account.+ An+ appreciation+in+value+cannot+be+higher+than+the+amortised+cost.
Trade receivables+are+included+in+a+group+of+financial+assets+with+similar+credit+risk+characteristics+and+ collectively+ assessed for+ impairment.+ Historic+ credit risk+ is+ calculated+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ type+ of+ payment+method+used+and+days+overdue.+Impairment+losses are+recognised+in+profit+or+loss.
- AvailableEforEsale+financial+assets
If+ the+ impairment+ loss of+ an+ availableEforEsale+ financial+ asset+ has been so+ far+ recorded+ directly+ in+ other+ comprehensive+ income/loss+ (recognised+ as+ cumulative+ amount+ in+ equity),+ these+ impairment+ losses recognised+ in+ equity+ will+ be+ derecognised+ through+ profit+ or+ loss+ as+ soon+ as+ there+ exists+ objective+evidence+for+impairment.+
The+amount+of+the+impairment+loss is+measured+as+the+difference+between+the+acquisition+cost+(less+ repayments+ and+ amortisation)+ and+ the+ current+ fair+ value,+ less+ any+ impairment+ loss+ on+ that+ investment+previously+recognised+in+profit+or+loss.+Impairment+losses+on+equity+investments+are+not+ reversed+through+profit+or+loss;+increases+in+their+fair+value+after+impairment+are+recognised+in+OCI.
If,+ in+ a+ subsequent year,+ the+ fair+ value+ of+ a+ debt+ instrument+ increases+ and+ the+ increase+ can+ be+ objectively+related+to+an+event+occurring+after+the+impairment+loss+was+recognised+in+profit+or+loss,+ the+impairment+loss+is+reversed+through+profit+or+loss.
Derecognition of financial+assets
Financial+assets+are+derecognised if+the+ rights+ to+ receive+cash+ flows+ from+ the+asset+have+expired+or+ the+Group has+transferred+its+rights+to+receive+cash+flows+from+the+asset to a+third+party+and+has,+in+ effect,+transferred+all+risks+and+opportunities+associated+with+this+ownership.
In+ the+ case+ of+ a+ complete derecognition of+ a+ financial+ asset,+ the+ difference+ between+ the+ carrying+ amount and+the+sum+of+the+consideration obtained+or to+be+obtained+and+all+cumulated+profits+and+ losses+which+have+been+recorded+in+other+comprehensive+income/loss+and+accrued+in+equity+is+to+be+ recorded+through profit+or loss.
Receivables+ are+ derecognised including+ associated+ impairment+ losses if+ they+ are+ classified+ as+ uncollectable.+If+a+derecognised receivable+is+later+reclassified+as+collectable+on+the+basis+of+an+event+ that+has+occurred+after+it+was+derecognised,+ then+ the+corresponding+amount+is+recorded+directly+in+ other+operating+income.
The+Group+ sells+uncollectable trade+ receivables+and+trade+ receivables+with+ the+associated+payment+ method+"invoice" to+various+service+companies.+Financial+assets+sold+in+this+way+are+derecognised at+ the+selling+ date,+ provided+ all+ risks+ and+ opportunities+ are+ essentially+ transferred+ to+ the+ acquirer.+ If+ essentially+all+risks+and+opportunities+have+not+been+transferred nor+retained,+the+financial+assets+will+ be+ derecognised at+ the+selling+ date only,+ if+ it+ is+ certain+ that+ the+ acquirer+ obtains control+ over+ the+ financial+assets.+If+essentially+all+risks+and+opportunities+remain+with+ the+Group,+ the+ financial+assets+ will+continue+to+be+recognised as+collateral for+a+recorded liability.
4.9 Derivative)financial)instruments)
Derivative+financial+instruments+are+initially+recognised+at+fair+value+on+the+date+on+which+a+derivative+ contract+ is+ entered+ into+ and+ are+ subsequently+ remeasured+ at+ fair+ value.+ The+ method+ of+recording profits+ and+ losses+ depends+ on+ whether+ the+ derivative+ financial+ instrument+ was+ designated+ as+ a+ hedging+ instrument+ and,+ if+ so,+ what+ the+ nature+ of+ the+ hedged+ item+ is.+ The+ Group+ will+ designate+ certain+derivative+financial+instruments+either+as:
- hedging+of+fair+value+for+a+recognised+asset,+a+liability,+or+an+offEbalance,+fixed+obligation+(fair+ value+hedge);
- hedging+ against+ certain+ risks+ arising+ from+ volatile+ cash+ flows+ (cash+ flow+ hedge)+ connected+ with+a+recognised+asset+or+liability+or+an+expected transaction that+is+more+likely+to+occur+in+ the+future;+or
- hedging+of+a+net+investment+in+a+foreign+operation+(net+investment+hedge).
No+ derivative+ financial+ instruments+ or+ hedges+ were+ present+ in+ the+ financial+ years+ 2012.+ In+ the+ financial+ years+ 2013+ and+ 2014,+ the+ Group+ recognised+ a+ derivate,+ with+ regards to+ the+ contingent+ consideration from+ the+ acquisition+ of+ windeln.ch+ AG+ (formerly: Kindertraum.ch+ AG)+ within+ other+ financial+assets.+See+section+7+for+further+details.+
4.10 Inventories)and)prepayments)
Purchased+merchandise+recognised+as+inventories+is,+in+accordance+with+IAS+2,+reported+at+the+lower+ of+ cost and+net+ realisable+ value.+The+ costs+are+ calculated+ using+ the+average+ cost and+ comprise+ the+ acquisition+price+plus+directly+allocable incidental acquisition costs less+any+deductions.+They+do+not+ include+any+borrowing+costs.+Net+realisable+value+is+the+estimated+selling+price+in+the+ordinary+course+ of+business+less+the+estimated+unavoidable+variable+sales+costs.+Inventory+risks,+which+are+the+result+ of+ storage+ duration,+ reduced+ usability+ or+ similar+ circumstances,+are+ taken+into+ consideration+in+ the+ allowance.+ Provided+ the+ reasons+ for+ impairment+ losses recorded in+ earlier+ periods+ are+ no+ longer+ present,+appreciations+are+carried+out+up+to+the+amount+of+the+original+acquisition+costs.
4.11 Cash)and)cash)equivalents)
Cash+ and+ cash+ equivalents+ include+ cash+ on+ hand,+ demand+ deposits,+ other+ current,+ highly+ liquid+ financial+ assets+ with+ an+ original+ maturity+ of+ three+ months+ or+ less,+ and+ bank+ overdrafts.+ They+ are+ valued+according+to+their+nominal+value.+Utilised+bank+overdrafts+are+recognised+as+liabilities+to+banks+ under+the+balance+sheet+item+'current+financial+liabilities'.
4.12 Financial)liabilities)including)trade)payables)
Recognition and+measurement
Financial+liabilities+regularly+lead+to a+contractual+obligation+to+deliver cash or+another+financial+asset+ and+are+classified+pursuant+to+IAS+39+as+follows:
- Financial+liabilities+classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss
Financial+liabilities+classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss+are+financial+liabilities+held+for+trading+ purposes+and+other+financial+liabilities+classified+upon+initial+recognition+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+ loss.+ A+ financial+ liability+ is+ assigned+ to+ this+ category+ if,+ in+ principle,+ it+ has+ been+ acquired+ with+ the+ intention+ to+ settle in+ the+ short+ term.+ Derivatives+ also+ belong+ in+ this+ category+ unless+ they+ are+ designated+ as+ hedging+ instruments+ in+ hedging+ relationships+ pursuant+ to+ IAS 39.+ Financial+ liabilities+ from+this+category+are+presented+as+current+liabilities+if+it+is+expected+that+they+will+be+settled within+ twelve+months.+All+other+liabilities+are+classified+as+nonEcurrent.+The+Group+has+so+ far+not+classified+ any+ financial+ liabilities+ as+ heldEforEtrading+ purposes+ and+ has+ not exercised its right+ to+ designate financial+liabilities+upon+initial+recognition+in+this+category.
- Financial+liabilities+measured+at+amortised+cost
Financial+liabilities+measured+at+amortised+cost+include+trade+payables,+liabilities+to+banks+and+other+ financial+liabilities+not+held+ for+trading purposes.+Trade+payables+are+payment+obligations+ for+goods+ and+ services+ acquired+ in+ the+ course+ of+ normal+ business+ activities.+ Other+ financial+ liabilities+ are+ recognised+as+current+liabilities if+ the+payment+obligation+is+due+within+one+year+or+less.+Otherwise they+ will+ be+ classified as+ nonEcurrent+ liabilities.+ The+ Group's+ financial+ liabilities+ measured at+ amortised+cost+are+recognised+as 'trade+payables',+'financial+liabilities'+and+'other+financial+liabilities'.
The+management+will+define+the+classification+of+financial+liabilities+at+initial+recognition.
All+financial+liabilities+are+measured+at+fair+value upon+initial+recognition,+and+in+the+case+of+liabilities to+banks,+less+the+transaction+costs+directly+allocable to+the+acquisition.
According+to+IAS+32+the+Group+can+only+record+equity,+if+no+obligation+exists+to+repay+the+capital+or,+ alternatively,+to+deliver+other+ financial+assets.+An+obligation+to+repay company+assets+may+arise+if+a+ shareholder+ has+a+ right+ to+terminate and+if,+at+ the+ same+ time,+exercising+ this+ right+would+ form+ the+ basis for+compensation+claims+from+the+Group.
Subsequent+measurement
The+subsequent+evaluation+of+financial+liabilities+is+dependent+on+their+classification.
- Financial+liabilities+classified+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss
Financial+liabilities+in+this+category+are+measured+upon+their+ first+recognition+at+ fair+value+until+they+ are+derecognised.+The+profits+and+losses+from+a+change+in fair+value+are+recorded+in profit+or+loss+in+ the+period+in+which+they+occur.+Profits+and+losses+include+both+realised+gains+and+losses+which+arise+ when+disposing+of+the+financial+liabilities+and+also+unrealised+gains+and+losses+which+result+from+the+ subsequent+measurement of+financial+liabilities.
- Financial+liabilities+measured+at+amortised+cost
In+ order+ to+ simplify+ the+ subsequent+measurement,+ current+ trade+ payables+as+well+as+ other+ current+ financial+ liabilities+ are+measured using+ their+settlement amount.+ NonEcurrent+ financial+ liabilities+ as+ well+as+bank+liabilities+are+carried+at+amortised+cost+according+to+the+effective+interest+method.+Gains+ and+losses+are+recognised+in+profit+or+loss+when+the+liabilities+are+derecognised+as+well+as+through+the+ effective+interest+rate+(EIR)+amortisation+process.+Amortised+cost+is+calculated+by+taking+into+account+ any+discount+or+premium+on+acquisition+and+fees+or+costs+that+are+an+integral+part+of+the+EIR.+The+EIR+ amortisation+is+included+as+financial expenses in+the+statement+of+profit+or+loss.
Derecognition
A+ financial+ liability+ is+ derecognised if+ the+ Group's+ corresponding+ obligation+ is+ settled,+ revoked+ or+ expired.+ The+ difference+ between+ the+ carrying+ amount of+ the+ financial+ obligation+derecognised and+ the+consideration obtained+or+to+be+obtained+is+recognised+in profit+or+loss.
When+an+existing+financial+liability+is+replaced+through+the same+lender+by+another+financial+liability+ with substantially+ different+ contractual+ terms,+ or+ the+ terms+ of+ an+ existing+ liability+ are+ materially+ modified,+such+an+exchange+or+modification+is+treated+as+a+derecognition of+the+original+liability+and+ the+recognition+of+a+new+liability.
Offsetting+financial+instruments
Financial+assets+and+financial+liabilities+are+offset+and+the+net+amount+is+reported+in+the+consolidated+ statement+of+financial+position+if+there+is+a+currently+enforceable+legal+right+to+offset+the+recognised+ amounts+ and+ there+ is+ an+ intention+ to+ settle+ on+ a+ net+ basis,+ to+ realise+ the+ assets+ and+ settle+ the+ liabilities+simultaneously.
Financial+guarantees
Financial+guarantees are+those+contracts+that+require+a+payment+to+be+made+to+reimburse+the+holder+ for+a+loss+he incurs+because+ the+specified+debtor+ fails+ to+make+a+payment+when+due+in+accordance+ with+the+terms+of+a+debt+instrument.+
Obligations+from+financial+guarantees+are+determined+upon+acquisition+at+their+fair+value+and,+if+not+ measured+at+fair+value+through+profit+or+loss,+are+valued+subsequently+at the+higher+amount+resulting+ from+the+value+calculated+pursuant+to+IAS 37+'Provisions,+Contingent+Liabilities+and+Contingent+Assets'+ for+the+contractual+obligation+and+resulting+from+the+originally+calculated+amount+less+the+cumulated+ amortisation.
No+financial+guarantees+were+present+in+the+financial+years+2014,+2013+or+2012.
4.13 Provisions)
Provisions+ are+ recognised pursuant+ to+ IAS 37+ provided+ the+ following+ conditions+ have+ been+ cumulatively+met:
- The+Group+has+an+existent legal+or+factual+obligation.
- This+obligation+is+the+result+of+a+past+event.
-
It+ is+ more+ likely+ than+ not+ that+ the+ settling+ of+ this+ obligation+ will+ lead+ to+ an+ outflow+ of+ resources.
-
The+provision+amount+can+be+reliably+measured.
No+provisions+will+be+recognised for+future+operational+losses.
The+provision+amount+is+estimated+as+best+as+possible+to+take+into+consideration+all+recognisable+risks+ that+may+arise+from+the+obligation.+In+principle,+the+amount+repayable+with+the+highest+likelihood+of+ occurring+ will+ be+ assumed.+ NonEcurrent+ provisions+ with+ a+ maturity+ of+ more+ than+ one+ year+ are+ discounted+to the+balance+sheet date.+If+the+effect+of+the+time+value+of+money+is+material,+provisions+ are+discounted+using+a+current+preEtax+rate+that+reflects,+when+appropriate,+the+risks specific+to+the+ liability.+The+increase+in+the+provision+due+to+the+unwinding+of+the+discount+is+recognised+as+financial+ expenses+in+profit+or+loss.
If+a+number+of+identical+obligations+exist,+the+likelihood+of+an outflow+of+resources will+be+measured for the+group+of+these+obligations.+A+provision+will+also+be+recognised if+the+likelihood+of+an outflow+ of+resources in+relation+to+individual+obligations+within+this+group+is+remote.
Asset+retirement+obligation
Provisions+are+recognised for+asset+ retirement obligations for+ fixtures+built+into+ rented+ spaces.+The+ provision+ will+ be+ calculated+ as present value+ of+ the+ expected+ costs+ to+ settle+ the+ obligation.+ The+ obligations+will+be+capitalised+at+the corresponding+amount+as+part+of+the+cost of+the+particular+asset.+ The+estimated+cash+ flows+are+discounted+at+a+current+preEtax+ rate+ that+ reflects+ the+ risks+specific+ to+ the+ asset+ retirement+ obligation.+ The+ unwinding+ of+ the+ discount+ is+ expensed+ as+ incurred+ and+ recognised+as+financial+expenses+in+profit+or+loss.
There+were+no+asset retirement obligations+present+for+the+financial+years+2014,+2013+and+2012.
4.14 Employee)benefits)
Bonus+schemes
For+bonus+payments+after+the+end+of+the+respective+financial+year for+the+preceding financial+year,+an obligation is+recognised+and+the+corresponding+expenses+are recognised as personnel+expenses.+The+ amount of+the+obligation is+measured individually+for+each+employee+for+whom+either+a+contractual+ bonus+obligation+or+a+factual+obligation+due+to past+practice exists.
ShareEbased+payments
Selected+management+team+members receive+shareEbased+payments for+work+carried+out+in+form+of+ a+cash+settlement.+
Pursuant+ to+ IFRS+ 2,+ cashEsettled transactions are+ recognised+ at fair+ value+ at+ the+ time+ they+ are granted.+A Monte+Carlo+simulation+is+used+for+this+purpose+within+the+Group.+The+fair+value+is+spread+ and+recognised+in+profit+or+loss+over the+period+in+which+services+are+rendered+by+the+beneficiaries,+ the+ soEcalled+ vesting+ period,+ and+ recorded+ with+ a+ corresponding+ liability.+ Up+ until+ the+ liability is+ settled,+the+liability will+be+ recalculated+at+every+balance+sheet+date+and+at+ the+date+of+settlement.+ Changes+to+fair+value+are+recorded+through+profit+or+loss.
In+addition,+shares+were+issued+in+the+context+of+a+business+combination with+a+conditional obligation+ to+ return+ these+shares.+ This+ conditional+ obligation+ is+ accounted+ for+ in+ line+ with IFRS+ 2.+ For+ further+ details+see+section 7.
Defined+benefit+obligations
The+defined+benefit+obligation in+connection+with+the company's pension+plan was+calculated+based+ on+ actuarial+ values+ according+ to+ the+ projected+ unit+ credit+ method+ prescribed+ in+ IAS+ 19+ (Employee+ Benefits),+wherein+an+actuarial+valuation+is+carried+out+at+each+balance+sheet+date.+The+projected+unit+ credit+method takes+into+consideration+both+ the+retirements known+and+entitlements+earned as+of the+balance+sheet+date,+as+well+as+future+anticipated+salary+and+pension+increases.+These+assumptions+ may+ change+ and+ are+ subject+ to+ estimation,+ since+ their+ future+ development+ is+ not+ foreseeable.+ Actuarial+ gains+ or+ losses+ calculated+ at+ yearEend+ between+ the+ pension+ obligations+ and+ the+ pension+ plan+ assets,+ both+ calculated+ according+ to+ schedule, are+ recorded+ directly+ in+ other+ comprehensive+ income/loss+ not+ affecting+ profit+ or+ loss.+Recognising+ actuarial gains and+ losses+recognised+ in+ other+ comprehensive+income/loss+in+subsequent+periods+in+profit+or+loss is+not+permitted.+The+difference+ between+ the+ expected+ net+ interest+ results+ and+ the+ actual+ profit+ is+ also to+ be+recognised+ in other+ comprehensive+income/loss not+affecting+profit+ or+loss.+The+interest+portion of+the+increase of+ the+ provision recognised+ as pension expenses (actuarial+ interest+ rate+ is+ applied to+ the+ liability and+the+ plan+asset)+is+to+be+shown+as+a+net+figure (net+interest+result)+as financial+expenses+in+profit+or+loss.+ The+pension+provision+(net+pension+obligation)+in+the+statement+of+financial+position is+calculated+as+ the+fair+ value+ of+ the+defined+ benefit obligation+at+ the+ balance+ sheet+ date+less+ the+ fair+value+ of+ the+ plan+asset,+and+where+appropriate+taking+into+consideration+the+rules+regarding+the+upper+value+limit+ of+a+surplus of+the+plan+asset+over+the+obligation+(soEcalled+asset+ceiling).
Payments+resulting+from+the termination+of+employment relationships
Payments+ resulting+ from+ the termination+ of+ employment relationships are+made if+ employees+ are+ released+ from+ a+ Group+ company+ before+ standard+ retirement+ age+ under+ payment+ of+ a+ severance+ package+ or+ if+ employees+ voluntarily+ leave+ the+ employment relationship,+ waving+ their+ right+ to+ a+ severance+ package.+ The+ Group+ records+ severance+ package+ services+ when+ there+ is+ a+ demonstrable+ obligation+ to+ terminate+ the+employment relationship+ of+ current employees+according+ to+a+ detailed+ formal+ plan+ which+ cannot+ be+ retracted,+ or+ when+ the+ Group+ is+ demonstrably+ to+ provide+ severance+ packages+upon+voluntary+termination+of+the+employment relationship+on+the+part+of+the+employee.+ Payments due+more+than+twelve+months+after+the+balance+sheet+date+are+discounted+to+their+present value.
4.15 Income)taxes)and)deferred)taxes)
The+tax+expenditure+for+the+period+consists+of+current+and+deferred+taxes.+Taxes+are+recognised+in the+ statement+of+profit+or loss,+unless+they+relate+to+items+that+are+recognised+directly+in+equity+or+other+ comprehensive+ income/loss.+ In+ this+ case,+ the+ related+ taxes+ are+ also recorded+ in+ equity+ or+ other+ comprehensive+income/loss.
Current+tax+expense+is+calculated+on+the+basis+of+the+tax+regulations+applicable+on+the+balance+sheet+ date+ in+ those+ countries+ in+ which+ the+ subsidiaries+ are+ operating and+ generate+ taxable+ income.+ The+ management+regularly+checks+tax+declarations,+particularly+with+regards+to+matters+which+leave+room+
for interpretation,+and,+if+appropriate,+recognises+provisions+based+on+the+amounts+that+are+likely+to+ be+payable+to+the+tax+authorities.
Deferred+ taxes+ are+ measured+ using+ the+ tax+ rates+ (and+ tax+ regulations)+ that+ apply+ or+ have+ been+ substantively+enacted+on+the+balance+sheet+date+and+are+expected+to+apply+at+the+time+the+deferred+ tax+asset+is+realised+or+the+deferred+tax+liability+is+settled.
Deferred+taxes+are+recognised+for+all+temporary+differences+between+the+tax+base+of+the+assets+and+ liabilities+ and+ their+ carrying+ amount in+ the+ IFRS+ consolidated+ financial+ statements,+ as+ well+ as+ for+ losses+carried+forward+(liability+method).
If,+ however,+ in+ the+ context+ of+ a+ transaction+ which+ does+ not+represent a+ business+ combination,+ a+ deferred+ tax+ results+ from+ the+ initial+measurement of+an+asset+ or+ liability,+which+at+ the+ time+ of+ the+ transaction+has+no+effect+on+either+the+IFRS or+the+taxable+profit+or+loss,+then+no+deferred+taxes+will+ be+ recognised at+ the+ time+ of+ the+ initial+ measurement and+ thereafter.+ Moreover,+ no+ deferred+ tax+ liabilities+are+recognised upon+ the+initial+ recognition of+goodwill.+Deferred+ tax+liabilities+which+arise+ from temporary+ differences+ associated+ with+ investments+ in+ subsidiaries+ are+recognised,+ unless+ the+ Group+is+able+to+control+the+timing+of+the+reversal+of+the+temporary+differences+and+it+is+probable+that+ the+ temporary+ differences+ will+ not+ reverse+ in+ the+ foreseeable+ future+ based+ on+ this+ influence.+ Deferred+tax+assets+on+temporary+differences+and+losses+carried+forward+are+only+recognised if+their+ recoverability seems+adequately+assured+in+the+near+future.
The+ carrying+amount+ of+ deferred+ tax+assets+is+ reviewed+at each+ reporting+ date+and+ reduced+ to+ the+ extent+that+it+is+no+longer+probable+that+sufficient+taxable+profit+will+be+available+to+allow+all+or part+of+ the+ deferred+ tax+ asset+ to+ be+ utilised.+ Unrecognised+ deferred+ tax+ assets+ are+ reEassessed+ at+ each+ reporting date+ and+ are+ recognised+ to+ the+ extent+ that+ it+ has+ become+ probable+ that+ future+ taxable+ profits+will+allow+the+deferred+tax+asset+to+be+recovered.
Deferred+tax+assets+and+deferred+tax+liabilities+are+offset+if+a+legally+enforceable+right+exists+to+set+off+ current+ tax+ assets+ against+ current+ tax+ liabilities+ and+ the+ deferred+ taxes+ relate+ to+ the+ same+ taxable+ entity+and+the+same+tax authority.
Default+interest+or+interest+on+arrears+on+delayed payments of income+tax+or+supplementary+income+ tax+which+are+not+taxEdeductible+are+recognised+in+the income tax+result.
4.16 Recognition)of)income)and)expenses)
Revenue and+ other+ operating+ income+ is recognised pursuant+ to+IAS+ 18+ at+ the+ time+ the+ service+ has+ been+ rendered,+ provided+ the+ amount+ of+ revenue+ or+ income can+ be+ measured+ reliably+ and+ it+ is+ probable+that+the+economic+benefits+will+flow+to+the+Group.+Revenue is measured at+the+fair+value+of+ the+consideration+received+or+receivable, taking+into+account contractually+defined+terms+of+payment+ and+excluding+taxes+or+duty.+Sales+deductions+reduce+the+revenue+recognised.
Revenue+from+the+sale+of+goods+is+recognised+when+the+significant+risks+and+rewards+of+ownership+of+ the+goods+have+passed+to+the+buyer,+usually+on+delivery+of+the+goods.+Revenue+from+the+sale+of+goods+ is+recognised net,+e.g. of+VAT,+returns,+trade+discounts,+customer+bonuses+and+rebates.
When+ rendering+ services,+ revenues+ are+ recognised over+ the+ period+ during+ which+ the+ service+ is+ rendered.+ Services+mainly comprise+ of+flyers+ provided+ for+ a+ charge+ and+ online+ advertising+ (banner+ insertions).
Expected returns+of+goods
The+company+generally+grants+customers+a+14Eday+return+period+for+goods+delivered.
The+expected+volume+of returns+after+ the+balance+ sheet+date+is+recognised as+a+gross+ figure+in+ the+ statement+ of+ profit+ and+ loss and+ other+ comprehensive+ income. Revenues+ are+ reduced+ by+ the+ expected+amount+of+consideration to+be+repaid+on+the+basis+of+historic+return+figures.+The+expenses+ recognised+ in+ connection+ with+ delivered goods+ are+ corrected+ to+ reflect+ the+ estimated+ volume+ of+ returns.+ The+ Group's+ claim+ for+ the return+ of+ delivered+ goods+ is+ recognised+ as+ other+ current nonE financial+asset+and+an+obligation+to+refund+the+purchase+price+to+the+customer+is+recognised+as+other+ current+financial liability.
Loyalty points+programme
The+ Group+ operates a+ selfEcontained+ and+ selfEissued+ loyalty+ points+ programme+ ("family+ bonus+ programme") which+ allows+ customers+ to+ accumulate+ points+ when+ they+ purchase+ products+ in+ the+ Group's online+shops+as+well+as+when+they successfully recommend it to+a+friend.+
Collected+ bonus+ points+ can+ be+ used+ to+ get+ discounts+ on+ future+ purchases.+ The+ reward+ obtained+ is+ allocated between+ the+ products+ sold+ and+ the+ points+ issued, the+ reward+ is+ allocated+ to+ the+ points+ according+to+their+fair+value.+
The+points'+ fair+value+is+measured on+ the+basis+of+ the+rewards+granted when+redeeming the bonus+ points,+ taking+ into+ consideration+ historic+ redemption+ rates.+ The+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ issued+ points+ is+ recognised+as+other+provision+while+reducing+revenues,+and+is+only+recognised+as+revenue+once+ the+ points+have+actually+been+redeemed.
Savings+plan
The+ Group+ offers+ its+ customers+ the+ opportunity+ to+ obtain+ a+ "Pampers+ Savings+ Plan" for+ a+ fixed+ amount.+This+savings+plan+gives+the+customer an+allocable discount+(percentage+on+normal+sale+price)+ on future+ purchases+ of+ Pampers+ over+ a+ contractually+ determined+ period+ of+ time.+ The+ revenues+ generated+ from+ the+ sales+ of+ savings+ plans+ are+ accrued+ as+ deferred revenue in+ the+ statement+ of+ financial+position,+and recognised+in+revenues+over+the+validity+period+of+the+individual+savings+plan.
The+ Management+ has+ analysed+ its+ business+ relationships+ in+ order+ to+ assess whether+ the+ Group+ operates as+a+Principal+or+an Agent.+The+Management+ has+ come+ to+ the+ conclusion+ that+ the+Group+ operates as+a+Principal in+all+revenue+transactions.
Operating+ expenses+ are+ recognised at+ the+ point+ at+ which+ the+ service+ is+ rendered,+ the+ delivery+ received+or+at+the+date+they+are+incurred.
Interest+ income+ and+ expenses+E using+ the+effective+ interest+method+E are+recognised as+ income or+ expense in+the+period+in+which+they+are+incurred.
The+determination+of+whether+an+arrangement+is+(or+contains)+a+lease+is+based+on+the+substance+of+ the+arrangement+at+the+inception+of+the+lease. The+arrangement+is,+or+contains,+a+lease+if+fulfilment+of+ the arrangement+is+dependent+on+the+use+of+a+specific+asset+or+assets+and+the+arrangement+conveys+a+ right+to+use+the+asset+or assets,+even+if+that+right+is+not+explicitly+specified+in+an+arrangement.
A+lease+that+transfers+substantially+all+the+risks+and+rewards+incidental+to+ownership+to+the+Group+is+ classified+as+a+finance+lease. All+other+lease+arrangements+are+classified+as operating+lease.
Rented+assets+which can+be+considered+as+acquired+assets with longEterm+ financing+are+categorised+ as+financial+lease.+Finance+leases+are+capitalised+at+the+commencement+of+the+lease+at+the+inception+ date+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ leased+ property or,+ if+ lower,+ at+ the+ present+ value+ of+ the+ minimum+ lease+ payments.+ The+ corresponding+ liability+ is+ recognised in+ the+ consolidated+ statement+ of+ financial+ position+as+a+financial liability.
Currently the+Group has+finance+lease agreements+for+office+equipment such+as+printers+and+copiers.+ None+of+these+agreements+are+deemed+as+individually+material+for+the+Group.
The+leased+asset is+ not capitalised+in+a+ case+ of+an+operating+leasing.+Operating+lease+ payments+are+ recognised+as+an+operating+expense+in+the+statement+of+profit+or+loss+on+a+straightEline+basis+over+the+ lease+term. Significant+operating+leasing+relationships+within+the+Group+concern+the+renting+of+office spaces+and+logistics+properties.
4.18 Fair)value)measurement)
The+ Fair+ value+ is+ defined+as+ the+ price+ that+would+ be+ received+ to+ sell+an+ asset+ or+ paid+ to+ transfer+a+ liability+in an+orderly+transaction+between+market+participants+at+the+measurement+date.
The+ fair+ value+measurement+ is+ based+ on+ the+ presumption+ that+ the+ transaction+ to+ sell+ the+ asset+ or transfer+ the+ liability+ takes+ place+ either in+ the+ principal+ market+ for+ the+ asset+ or+ liability or,+ in+ the+ absence+ of+ a+ principal+ market,+ in+ the+ most+ advantageous+ market+ for+ the+ asset+ or+ liability. The+ principal+or+the+most+advantageous+market+must+be+accessible+by+the+Group.
The+ fair+value+of+an+asset+or+a+liability+is+measured+using+ the+assumptions+ that+market+participants+ would+use+when+pricing+the+asset+or+liability,+assuming+that+market+participants+act+in+their+economic+ best+interest.
The+ Group+ uses+ valuation+ techniques+ that+ are+ appropriate+ in+ the+ circumstances+ and+ for+ which+ sufficient+data+are+available+to+measure+fair+value,+maximising+the+use+of+relevant+observable+inputs+ and+minimising+the+use+of+unobservable+inputs.
All+assets+and+liabilities+for+which+fair+value+is+measured+or+disclosed+in+the+financial+statements+are+ categorised+within+the+fair+value+hierarchy,+described+as+follows:

- Level+2:+directly+or+indirectly+observable input+factors,+which+are+not+categorised+in+level+1;
- Level+3:+Unobservable+input+factors.
For+ assets+ and+ liabilities+ that+ are+ recognised+ in+ the+ financial+ statements+ on+ a+ recurring+ basis,+ the+ Group determines+whether+ transfers+ have occurred+ between+levels+in+ the+ hierarchy+ by+ reassessing+ categorisation+(based+on+the+lowest+level+input+that+is+significant+to+the+fair+value+measurement as+a+ whole)+at+the+end+of+each+reporting+period.
The+fair+value+of+financial+assets+traded+on+an+active+market+is+based+on+the+quoted market+price+as+of+ the+balance+sheet+date.+A+market+is+considered+active+if+listed+prices+on+a+stock+exchange+are+easily+ and+regularly+obtainable+for+a+trader,+broker,+industry+group,+price+calculation+service,+or+supervisory+ authority+and+these+prices+reflect current+and+regularly+occurring+market+transactions+such+as+those+ between+independent+ third+ parties.+For+assets+ held+ by+ the+Group,+ the+ proper+quoted market+ price+ corresponds+to+the+bid+price+offered+by+the+acquirer.
The+ fair+ value+ of+ financial+ instruments+ not+ traded+ on+ an+ active+ market+ is+ determined+ by+ applying+ valuation+methods.+ The+ fair+ value+ is+ therefore+measured on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ results+ of+ a+ valuation+ process+which+relies+as+much+as+possible+on+market+data+and+as+little+as+possible+on+companyEspecific+ data.+ If+ all+ data+ necessary+ for+ the+ fair+ value measurement can+ be+ observed,+ the+ instrument+ is+ assigned+to+Level+2.+Should+one+or+more+significant+input+factors+not+be+based+on+observable+market+ data,+the+instrument is+assigned+to+Level+3.
Specific+ valuation+ processes+ used+ for+the+ fair+ value+ measurement+ of financial+ instruments+ contain mainly present+value models+based+on+market+data+valid+as+of the+balance+sheet date.
4.19 Events)after)the)reporting)period)
Business+transactions+which+became+known+after+the+balance+sheet+date,+but+arose+economically+on+ or+before the+reporting+date,+are+included+in+the+consolidated+annual+financial+statements.+Essential+ business+transactions+which+arose+economically+after+the+balance+sheet+date+are+explained.
5. Significant)accounting)judgements,)estimates)and)assumptions)
The+preparation+of+the+Group's+consolidated+financial+statements+requires+the+Management+to+make+ accounting+judgements,+estimates+and+assumptions+ that+affect+ the+ reported+amounts+ of+ revenues,+ expenses,+assets+and+liabilities,+and+the+disclosure+of+contingent+liabilities,+at+the+balance+sheet+date.+ The+estimates+and+assumptions+each+ underlie+ respective+ parameters+ based+on+ current+information+ available.+ In+ particular,+ circumstances+ present+ at+ the+ time+ of+ preparing+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements+as+well+as+rationally assumed future+developments+in+ the+industry+were+used+as+a+basis+ with+regards+to+the+expected+future+development+of+the+business.
The+ uncertainty+ connected+ with+ these+ assumptions+ and+ estimates+ and+ the+ developments+ of+ the+ framework+conditions+that+are+outside+the+influence+of+the+Management+could+lead to+results+which+ will+in+ future+periods+require+considerable+adjustments+ to+ the+book+value+of+ the+assets+or+liabilities+ affected.
The+key+assumptions+affecting+future+periods+and+other+key+sources+of+estimation+uncertainty+at+the+ balance+sheet date+that+carry+significant+risk+of+causing+a+substantial+adjustment+to+the+book+values+ of+assets+and+liabilities+within+the+next+financial+year+are+discussed+below.
5.1 Business)combinations)
When+ an+ acquired+ company+ is+ consolidated+ for+ the+ first+ time,+ all+ identifiable+ assets,+ liabilities+ and+ contingent+liabilities+are+to+be+recognised+at+their+fair+value+at+the+acquisition+date.+One+of+the+main+ estimates+relates+to+the+determination+of+the+fair+value+of+these+assets+and+liabilities+acquisition+date+ as+well+as+contingent+consideration.
If+intangible+assets+are+identified,+ depending+ on+ the+ type+ of+intangible+asset+and+ the+ complexity+ of+ determining+the+fair+value,+either+the+independent+opinion+of+an+external+reviewer+is+used+or+the+fair+ value+is+determined+internally+by+using+an+appropriate+valuation+technique,+which+is+usually+based+on+ a+ forecast+of+the+total+expected+cash+ flows. These+valuations+are+closely+linked+to+assumptions+that+ the+Management+has+made+regarding+the+future+development+of+the+respective+assets+as+well+as+to+ the+development+of the applied+discount+rate.
5.2 Goodwill)
As+a+ result+of+an+acquisition,+goodwill will+be+recognised in+ the+consolidated+ statement+of+ financial+ positions.+The+Group+ reviews+at+least+once+a+year+whether+ the+goodwill+is+impaired.+Therefore,+ the+ recoverable amount+ of+ the+ Cash+ Generating+ Unit+ is+ calculated.+ This+ corresponds+ to+ the+ higher+ fair+ value+ less+ costs+ of+ disposal and+ value+ in+ use.+ The+ measurement+ of+ the+ value+ in+ use+ includes+ adjustments+and+estimates+regarding+the+forecasting+and+discounting+of+future+cash+flows.+The+cash+ flow+ forecast on+ the+ basis+ of+ these+ estimates+ is+ influenced+ by,+ for+ example,+ factors+ such+ as+ a+ successful+ integration+ of+ acquired+ companies,+ volatility+ of the+ capital+ markets,+ interest+ rate+ developments,+ fluctuations+ in+ the+ exchange+ rates+ as+ well+ as+ general+ economic+ developments.+ The+ discounted+cash+flows+are+based+on+fiveEyear+forecasts derived+from+financial+planning.+The+cash+flow+
forecasts take+into+account+past+experiences+and+are+based+on+the+management's+best+estimates+of+ future+ developments.+ Cash+ flows+ beyond+ the+ planning+ period+ are+ extrapolated+ using+ individual+ growth+ rates.+ The+ most+ important+ assumptions+ used+ for+ calculating+ the+ fair+ value,+ less+ costs+ of+ disposal and+value+in+use+comprise estimated+growth+rates,+weighted+average+cost+of+capital+and+tax+ rates.+These+estimates,+as+well+as+the+method+to+be+used+as+a+basis+for+these,+have+in+each+instance+a+ significant+influence+on+ the+respective+values+and+ultimately+on+ the+amount+by+which+goodwill+may be+ impaired.+ Although+ the+ Management+ beliefs+ that+ the+ assumptions+ used+ for+ calculating+ the+ recoverable amount+are+appropriate,+various+unforeseeable+changes+to+these+assumptions+could+lead+ to+an+impairment+loss+which+could+influence+the+net+asset,+financial+and income position+negatively.
The+Group+tested the+recognised goodwill+ resulting+ from+ the+acquisition+ of+windeln.ch+AG+and+ did+ not+identify any+need+for recording+an+impairment+loss.+For+more+information+see+section+8.1.
5.3 Assets)
Fixed+assets+and+intangible+assets
At+ each+ balance+ sheet+ date,+ the+ Group+ has+ to+ estimate+ whether+ there+ exists+ evidence+ that+ the+ carrying+ amount of fixed+ assets+ or+ intangible+ assets could+ be+ impaired.+ In+ this+ case,+ as+ well+ as+ annually+in+ the+case+of+an+indefinite useful+life of+an+asset,+ the+recoverable amount+of+ the+asset+in+ question+will+be+estimated.+This+corresponds+to+the+higher+of+fair+value+less+costs+of+disposal and+the value+in+use.+The+discounted+future+cash+flows+of+the+asset+affected+are+to+be+estimated in+order+to+ calculate+the+value+in+use. The+estimation+of+the+discounted future+cash+ flows is+based+on essential+ assumptions+such+as,+in+particular,+those+regarding+future+sales+prices+and+sales+volumes,+as+well+as+ costs+ and+ the+ interest+ rates+ used+ for+ discounting.+ Although+ the+ Management+ assumes+ that+ the+ estimates+ of+ the+ relevant+ expected+ useful+ life,+ the+ assumptions+ regarding+ the+ general+ state+ of+ the+ economy,+and+regarding+the+development+of+the+eEcommerce+business,+as+well+as+those+estimates+of+ the+ discounted+ future+ cash+ flows are+ appropriate,+ an+ adjustment+ of+ the+ analyses+ could+ become+ necessary+ if+ any+ changes+ to+ the+ underlying+ assumptions+ or+ circumstances+ would+ occur.+ This+ could+ result+ in+ future+ additional impairment+ losses or appreciation,+ should+ the+ trends+ identified+ by+ the+ Management+reverse+or+if+the+assumptions+and+estimates+turn+out+to+be+false.+
For+more+information+see+sections+8.1+and+8.2.
Inventories
At+each+balance+sheet+date,+the+Management+reviews+the recoverability+of+the+inventories+on stock.+ Here,+amongst+other+things,+assumptions+are+made+regarding+the+future+achievable+sales+prices+and+ the+necessary+costs+of+goods+sold.
At+31 December+2014,+the+total+allowance on+inventories+amounted+to+kEUR 601 and+kEUR+308 as+of 31 December+2013,+kEUR+136 as+of 31 December+2012+and+kEUR+0 as+of 1 January+2012.
Trade+receivables
The allowance+ for+ trade+ receivables+ is+ calculated+ as+ a+ collective allowance+ for each group+ of+ receivables+with+similar+credit+ risk.+This+credit+ risk+is+based+on+the payment+method+used+and+days+ overdue.
At+31 December+2014,+the+total+allowance on+trade+receivables+amounted+to+kEUR+325 or+kEUR+179 as+of 31 December+2013,+kEUR+96 as+of 31 December+2012+and+kEUR+21 as+of 1 January+2012.
5.4 Provisions)
Determining+ provisions+ is+ to+ a+ significant+ extent+ dependent+ on+ estimates.+ It+ may+ therefore+ be+ necessary+ to+ adjust+ the+ amount+ of+ provisions+ based+ on+ new+ developments+ and+ changes+ to+ the+ underlying+estimates.+Amendments+ to+estimates+and+assumptions+over time can+ have+a+ significant+ effect+ on+ the+future+income+ position. It+ cannot+ be+ ruled+ out+ that+ further+expenditure,+which+ has+a+ significant+ effect+ on+ the+ net+ asset,+ financial+ and+ income+ position+ of+ the+ Group,+ may+ arise+ for+ the+ company+in+addition+to+the+provisions already+recorded.+For+further+information+regarding+provisions+ see+section+8.11.
Loyalty points+programme
The+valuation+of+ the+liabilities+ from+ the+loyalty points+programme+is+based+on+various+assumptions.+ According+to+IFRIC+13+"Customer+Loyalty+Programmes",+issued+and+not+yet+redeemed+loyalty points+ are+deferred at+fair+value.+The fair+value+of+a+loyalty point+is+calculated+on+the+basis+of+the+sales+price+ of+ the+ awarded products.+ Loyalty points+ likely+ to+ expire+ are+ not+ deferred.+ Estimating+ the+ loyalty points+ likely+ to+ expire+ is+ done+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ previously+ observed+ redemption rates,+ taking+ into+ account the current+ terms+ and+ conditions+ for+ the+ loyalty points+ programme.+ The+ assumptions+ and+ processes+used+for+the+estimation+of+the+loyalty points programme+are+described+in+section+8.11.
At+31 December+2014+the+fair+value+of+the+deferred loyalty points+added+up+to+kEUR+1,246 or+kEUR+ 765 as+of 31 December+2013,+kEUR+125 as+of 31 December+2012+and+kEUR+43 as+of 1 January+2012.
5.5 Returns)
To+estimate+the+expected+returns+of+goods+after+the+balance+sheet+date,+the+revenue expected within+ the+14Eday+return period+was+estimated and+measured under+consideration+of+historic+return+rates.
At+31 December+2014+the+deferred+revenue+added+up+to+kEUR+402 or+kEUR+220 as+of 31 December+ 2013+and kEUR+84 as+of 31 December+2012.
5.6 Employee)benefits)
ShareEbased+payments
Costs+ resulting+ from+ cashEsettled+ shareEbased+ payments to+ the+ management+ team+ members+ are+ measured using+ the+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ liabilities+ at+ the+ grant+ date.+ For+ estimating+ the+ fair+ value+ of+ shareEbased+ payments,+ the+ appropriate valuation+ method must+ be+ determined.+ The+ choice+ of+ a+ valuation+method depends+ on+ the+ conditions+ under+ which+ the+shareEbased+ payments+ are granted.+ For+this+estimate,+one+also+needs+to+decide+on+an+input+parameter+suitable+to+be+incorporated+into+ this+valuation+method.+This+includes,+in+particular,+the+expected+option+term,+volatility+and+riskEfree+ interest+ rate,+ and+ the+ corresponding+ assumptions.+ The+ assumptions+ and+ processes+ used+ for+ this+ valuation+of+the+fair+value+of+shareEbased+payments are+described+in+section+8.10.
At+31 December+2014+the+provision+for+shareEbased+payments+added+up+to+kEUR+6,349 or+kEUR+2,930 as+of 31 December+2013,+kEUR+1,271 as+of 31 December+2012+and+kEUR+314 as+of 1 January+2012.
At+31+December+2014+the+most+significant+input+factor+used+with+regards+to+the+measurement+of+the+ shareEbased+ payment+ obligation is the+ current+ share price+ of+ windeln.de+ GmbH.+ An+ increase+ or+ decrease+of+this+share+price+by+10 %+would+result+in+a+kEUR+635+higher+or+lower+shareEbased+payment+ obligation as+of 31+December+2014 (31 December 2013:+kEUR+293,+31 December 2012:+kEUR+127,+1+ January 2012:+kEUR+31).
Pension+obligations
Pensions+ are+ accounted+ for+ in+ accordance+ with+ actuarial+ valuation+ methods.+ These+ valuation+ methods are+ based+ on+ statistical+ and+ other+ factors+ in+ order+ to+ anticipate+ future+ events.+ These+ actuarial+assumptions+may+deviate+significantly+from+actual+developments+due+to+altered+market+and+ economic+conditions+and+therefore+may+lead+to+a+significant+change+in pension+obligations+as+well+as+ the expenses.
At+31 December+2014+the+pension+provisions+amounted+to+kEUR+56 (31 December+2013+kEUR+62).+As+ of 31+December+2012+or+1+January+2012,+no+pension+obligations existed.
For+more+information+see+Section+8.10.
5.7 Deferred)taxes)
Deferred+tax+assets+on+taxable+losses+carried+forward+are+only+recognised up+to+an+expected+taxable+ income+and+only if+their+recoverability seems+adequately+assured+in+the+near+future. A+considerable+ degree+ of+ discretionary+judgement+ is+required+ from+ the+Management+ to+ determine+ the+amount+ of+ deferred+tax+assets+that+can+be+recognised,+based+on+the+expected+timing+and+level+of+income+to+be+ taxed+in+the+future+together+with+future+tax+planning+strategies.
The+Group+carries+forward+domestic corporate+tax+losses+of+kEUR+38,001 (31 December+2013:+kEUR+ 25,559,+31+December+2012:+kEUR 11,338,+1 January+2012:+kEUR+4,807),+domestic+trade tax+losses+of+ kEUR+ 37,374 (31 December+ 2013:+ kEUR 25,238,+ 31+ December+ 2012:+ kEUR+ 11,252,+ 1 January+ 2012:+ kEUR+4,803)+as+well+as+foreign+losses+of+kEUR 224 (31 December+2013:+kEUR+443).+Due+to+the+positive income development+ in+ accordance+ with+ business+ planning+ and+ the+ accumulated+ losses+ carried+ forward,+the+Management+assumes+that+these+losses+carried+forward+can+in fact+be+realised+in+their+ entirety.+The+ domestic+ losses+ carried+ forward+ have+ no+ temporal+ restriction+and+ do+ not+expire.+The+ foreign+losses+carried+ forward+can+only+be+used+within+a+limited+period+of+seven+years.+If+the+actual+ results+deviate+from+these+estimates+by+the+Management,+this+could+have+a+negative+impact+on+the+ net+asset,+financial+and+income position.+Due+to+the+history+of+losses+of+windeln.de+GmbH,+however,+ deferred+ tax assets on+losses+carried+ forward+are+only+ recognised+ to+ the+amount+at+which+deferred+ tax liabilities are+recorded. Further+details+on+deferred+taxes+are+given+under+section+8.16.
5.8 Fair)value)measurement)and)valuation)methods)
Some+of+the+Group's+assets+and+liabilities+are+measured for+the+purposes+of+financial+reporting+at fair+ value.+As+far+as+possible,+the+Group+uses+observable+market+data+to+determine+the+fair+value+of+assets+ and+liabilities.+If+ such+input+parameters+at+Level+1+are+not+available,+ the+ fair+value+is+determined+at+ Levels+2+and+3+using+generally+accepted valuation+methods.+
For+a+ description+ of+ the+ fundamental+input+ factors+and+valuation+methods+used+for+ the+ contingent+ consideration,+see+section+7.+For+the+related+sensitivity+analysis,+see+section+8.7.
For+more+information+with+regards+to+the+fair+value+hierarchy+see+section+10.4.
Voluntarily+prepared+consolidated+financial+statements+for+the+years+2012,+2013+and+2014 6. Segment)disclosure)
A+business+segment in+the+sense+of+IFRS+8+is+a unit+of+a+business+which+conducts+business+activities+ which produce+financial+income and+expenses,+the+operating results+of+which+are+regularly+reviewed+ by+the+company's+chief+operating+decision+maker+with+regards+to+decisions+on+allocating+resources+to+ this+ sector+ and+ the+ assessment+ of+ profitability and+ for+ which there+ exists+ corresponding+ financial+ information.
For+management+purposes,+the+group+is+organised+into+business+units+based+on+its+different+onlineE shops+since+financial+year+2013+and+has+three+reportable business segments,+as+follows:
- The business segment+"windeln.de"+operates+the+onlineEshop+windeln.de.
- The+business+segment+ "windelbar"+ operates+ the+onlineEshop windelbar.de,+which+ offers+ its+ services+as+part+of+a+free+subscription+to+an+online+shopping+club.
- The+ business+segment+ "windeln.ch"+ operates+ the+ onlineEshops windeln.ch,+ kindertraum.ch+ and+toys.ch.
No+operating+segments+have+been+aggregated+to+form+the+above+reportable+operating+segments.
The+ management+ monitors+ the+ revenues+ and+ adjusted+ operating+ results+ of+ its+ business+ units+ separately+ for+ the+ purpose+ of+ making+ decisions+ about+ resource+ allocation+ and+ performance+ assessment.+Segment+performance+is+evaluated+based+on+profit+or+loss+and+is+measured+consistently+ with+ profit+ or+ loss+ in+ the+ consolidated+ financial+ statements.+ Depreciation,+ amortisation,+ financial+ result,+ income+ taxes+ and+ rental+ expenses+ are+ managed+ on+ a+ Group+ basis+ and+ are+ not+ allocated+ to+ operating+segments.
The+ performance+ measure+ "EBIT+ contribution"+ per+ business+ segment+ consists+ of+ gross+ profit less+ allocated+selling,+distribution+and+administrative+expenses+as+well+as+the+proportional+other+operating+ income+and+expenses.
The+ business+ departments+Human+ Resources,+IT,+ Finance+ as+ well+ as+ the+management+ team+ render+ services+ to+ the+group+ (shared+ services).+These+expenses+are+ not+allocated+ to+ the+ different business segments+and+are+disclosed+in+the+position+"Corporate"+below. Of+the+total+amount+of+kEUR+8,249+(31+ December+ 2013:+ kEUR+ 4,981)+ allocated+ to+ the+ position+ "Corporate"+ an+ amount+ of+ kEUR+ 6,496+ (31+ December+2013:+kEUR+3,839)+respresents+personnel+expenses.
In+ financial+ year+ 2012+ the+ business+ unit+ "Corporate"+ was+ fully+ allocated+ to+ the+ business+ segment+ windeln.de.
Transfer+ prices+ between+ operating+ segments+ are+ on+ an+ arm's+ length+ basis+ in+ a+ manner+ similar+ to+ transactions with+third+parties.

The+allocation+ of+ the+ purchase+ price+ described+above+ for+windeln.ch+ AG+ (formerly:+ Kindertraum.ch+ AG)+ results+ in+ a+ goodwill.+ Basis for+ this+ goodwill+ are+ the expected+ synergies resulting+ from+ the+ combined+ business+ activities,+ the+ strengthened+ access+ to+ the+ Swiss+ market,+ and+ other+ intangibles which+do+not+meet+the+recognition+criteria.
The+consideration transferred+for+the+acquisition+is+composed of+shares+in+windeln.de+GmbH+and of+a+ contingent+consideration.+Details+regarding+these+purchase+price+components+and+their+fair+value at+ acquisition date are+described+below:
Shares+in+windeln.de+GmbH:
The+ Group+ has+ issued+ 5,568+ new+ shares+ in+ the+ nominal+ value of+ EUR+ 1+ for+ 100% share+ in+ Kindertraum.ch+AG.+The+fair+value+of+these+shares+at+the+acquisition date+amounts to kEUR+3,829 and is+calculated+under+consideration+of+a+company+valuation+carried+out+at+the+end+of+the+financial+year+ 2013+which+resulted+in a+value+of+EUR+767.73+per+share.+Of this+fair+value+an+amount+of+kEUR+1,434+is+ deducted+and+allocated+to+the+shareEbased+payments+part (see+below).
Contingent+consideration
As+ part+ of+ the+ purchase+ agreement+ which was+ closed+ with+ the+ previous+ owners+ of+ windeln.ch+ AG+ (formerly:+Kindertraum.ch+AG)+in+the+financial+year+2013,+a+conditional+consideration component+was+ agreed+upon.+According+to+this,+a+return of+up+to+2,784+shares to+windeln.de+GmbH+(this+amounts+to+ 50% of+ the+ shares+ originally+ issued) by+ the+ former+ owners+ may+ become+ necessary+ under+ certain+ conditions.+The+conditions+of+this+conditional+reimbursement+are+described+in+detail+below:
If+the+cumulated+revenues+and+the+cumulated+EBITDA+of+the+combined+Swiss+business+activities+in+the+ financial+ years+ 2014+ and+ 2015+ do+ not+ reach+ the+ contractually+ defined+ target+ values,+ the+ former+ owners+are+obliged,+at+the+end+of+2015,+to+sell+and+return+a+variable+amount+of+shares+for+a+price+of+ EUR+ 1+ (nominal+ value).+ The+ number+ of+ shares+ to+ be+ returned+ depends+ on+ the+ actual+ deviation+ between+ the+ contractually+ defined+ target+ values+ (cumulated+ revenues+ and+ cumulated+EBITDA)+ and+ the+audited actual+figures.
At+the+time+of+acquisition,+the+fair+value+of the+contingent+consideration+was measured+at+kEUR+0,+as+ the+management+expected+the+achievement+of+the+targets+agreed+upon+and+no+shares+to+be+returned+ based+on+that+expectation.
Fair+ value+ is+ determined+ using+a+ twoEstep process.+This+ involves+ first+measuring+ the+ fair+ value+ of+a+ share+in+windeln.de+GmbH,+ then+ separately+calculating+ the+likely+number+of+ shares+ to+be+ returned,+ before+finally+multiplying+these+two+figures:
E First,+ the+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ individual+ share+ is+ calculated+ using+ a+ Monte+ Carlo+ Simulation+ involving+ the+ strike+price+1+and+ the+ remaining+ term+until+31+December+2015.+Alongside+ the+ strike+price+and+remaining+term,+the+key+input+factors+for+the+relevant+valuation+date+are+the+ current+value+of+the+shares,+their+anticipated+volatility+and+the+riskEfree+interest+rate.+
In+ the+ Monte+ Carlo+ Simulation,+ the+ stochastic+ process+ which+ describes+ the+ market+ price+ performance+is+simulated+with a+large+number+of+repetitions.+This+stochastic+process+is+given+ by+ a+ geometric+ Brownian+ motion+ for+ which+ the+ current+ share+ price+ is+ the+ starting+ price.+ Volatility+is+determined+on+the+basis+of+the+peer+group+average.+The+drift+corresponds+to+the+ riskEfree+ interest+ rate.+ The+ random+ component+ consists+ of+ a+Wiener process+ which+ can+ be+ simulated+ with+ the+ aid+ of+ random numbers.+ For+ a+ sufficiently+ large+ number+ of+ realisations+ (paths)+ of+ the+ corresponding+ geometric+ Brownian+ motion+ obtained+ by+ simulation,+ it+ is+ possible+ to+ make+ reliable+ probability+ statements+ regarding+ interesting+ target+ parameters.+ This+applies+in+particular+to+the+value+of the+option,+i.e.+max(share+price+at+time+of+exercise+E exercise+price,+0).+Provided+there+is+a+sufficiently+large+numbers+of+repetitions,+the+expected+ value+of+this+target+variable+under+the+distribution+simulated+by+Monte+Carlo+asymptotically+
approximates the+ value+ of+ the+ Black+ Scholes+ Mertin+ Formula.+ However,+ it+ is+ possible+ with+ Monte+Carlo+to+make+many+more+statements,+indeed+by+this+means+one+can+make+probability+ statements+about+any+possible+value+of+the+option.+This+means+in+particular+that+degrees+of+ uncertainty+in+relation+to+forecasts+can+be+better+estimated.
E Finally+the+estimated+number+of+shares+to+be+returned+can+be+calculated,+by+estimating+the+ cumulated+ revenue+ and+ EBITDA+ of+ the+ combined+ swiss+ business+ and+ by+ comparing+ these+ estimated+amounts+to+the+targets+agreed+upon.
The+ revenue and+ EBITDA+ forecasting+ method+ is+ based+ on+ an+ autoregressive+ integrated+ moving+average+time+series+model+(ARIMA).+Out+of+the+extensive+class+of+all+ARIMA+models,+ an+ARIMA(0,1,0)+model+ based+ on+ the+Akaike+Information+ Criterion+ (AIC)+ has+ been+ found+ to+ provide+the+best+revenue forecast.+This+corresponds+to+a+random+walk+with+drift.+For+EBITDA+ an+ ARIMA(0,0,0)+model+ was+ used.+ This+ involves+ a+temporally+ constant+ expected+ value+ plus+ random+ noise.+ After+ selecting+ these+ ARIMA+ models+ they+ were+ used+ to+ run+ a+ Monte+ Carlo+ simulation+ of+ the+ associated+ processes+ for+ the+ revenue and+ EBITDA+ in+ order+ to+ thereby+ determine+the+distributions+of+the+target variables.+These+constitute+the+cumulative+revenue and+cumulative+EBITDA.+Each+is+composed+of+both+the+known+and+simulated+figures.
ShareEbased+payments
In+addition,+ the+contingent+consideration+for+one+original+shareholder+employed+in+ the+Group+since+ the+acquisition date is+subject+to+a+reimbursement+obligation+if+this+person should+leave+the+company within+two+years.+This+results+in+a+separate+asset+"prepayment+for+shareEbased+payments" pursuant+ to+IFRS 2 which+is+recognised+as+other+nonEfinancial+asset+and is+allocated+to+administrative+expenses on+a+straight+line+basis+from+January+2014+to+December+2015.+
On+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ Monte+ Carlo+ Simulation+ described+ above,+ the+ fair+ value+ for+ the+ shareEbased+ payments+ was+ calculated+ stochastically+ at+ the+ acquisition date+ in+ the amount+ of kEUR+ 1,434. The+ calculated+amount+of+shareEbased+payments+reduces+the+consideration+transferred+in+the+course+of+ the+acquisition+of+windeln.ch+AG+(formerly:+Kindertraum.ch+AG).
The+ transaction+ costs+ related+ to+ the+acquisition+ of+windeln.ch+AG+ (formerly:+ Kindertraum.ch+AG)+in+ the+amount+of+kEUR+77 were+recorded+in administrative expenses in 2013.
From+ 12+ December+ 2013+ to+ 31+ December+ 2013+ windeln.ch+ AG+ (formerly:+ Kindertraum.ch+ AG)+ contributed+to+the+Group revenues an amount+of+kEUR+185+and+losses+in+the+amount+of+kEUR+57. The+company+was+founded+by+means+of+a+carve+out+shortly+before+the+acquisition+in+November+2013.+ For+the+stub financial+year,+revenues according+to+local+accounting+principles+amounted+to+kEUR+563+ (kCHF+693),+whilst+losses+totalled+kEUR+173+(kCHF+214).

The+ amortisation of development+ costs+ recorded+ in+ profit+ or loss+ during+ the+ financial year+ 2014+ amounts to+kEUR+461 (financial+year+2013:+kEUR+259,+financial+year+2012:+kEUR+46).+In+the+financial year+2014,+kEUR+1,048 of+development+costs+at+windeln.de+GmbH+were capitalised+(2013:+kEUR+831,+ 2012:+kEUR+518).+Research+costs+have+not been+capitalised.

Notes&concerning&the&annual&impairment&tests&
The+goodwill+of+kEUR+482+acquired+in+a+business+combination,+as+well+as+acquired+domains+with+an+ indefinite+useful+life+in+the+amount+of+kEUR+1,724,+were+allocated+for+impairment+testing+purposes+to+ the+cashEgenerating+unit+(CGU)+windeln.ch+which+is+also+a+reportable+segment.
The+Group+conducted+its+annual+impairment+test+as+of+31+December+2014.+The+recoverable+amount+ of+ CGU+ windeln.ch+ as+ of+ 31+ December+ 2014+ was+ calculated+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ value+ in+ use,+ duly+ taking+into+account+the+cash+flow+forecasts+based+on+the+business+plan+approved+by+management+for+ a+ fiveEyear+period.+The+discount+rate+before+ taxes+applied+ to+ the+cash+ flow+ forecasts+is+26.1%.+Cash+ flows+ after+ the+ fiveEyear+ period+ have+ been+ extrapolated+ applying+ a+ growth+ rate+ of+ 1%.+ The+ test+ showed+ that+ the+value+in+use+exceeded+ the+book+value+of+ the+CGU+windeln.ch.+Accordingly,+on+ the+ basis+of+our+knowledge+and expectations+as+of+31+December+2014+no+impairment+potential+arises+for+ the+goodwill+acquired+in a business+combination+and+for+internet+domains+with+indefinite+useful+lives.
For+impairment+ testing+ purposes+ software+ development+ projects+in+ progress+were+allocated+ to+ the+ CGU+ windeln.de+ and+ windelbar.+ The+ recoverable+ amount+ of+ those+ software+ projects+ as+ of 31+ December+ 2014+was+ calculated+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ value+ in+ use,+ duly+ taking+ into+account+ the+ cash+ flow+forecasts+based+on+the+business+plan+approved+by+management+for+a+fiveEyear+period.+The+preE
tax+ discount+ rates+ applied+ are+ 52.3%+ and+ 41.2%.+ The+ impairment+ test+ revealed+ no+ impairment+ potential+for+software+development+projects+in+progress+as+of+31+December+2014.
Internet+ domains+ allocated+ to+ the+ CGU+ windeln.de+ were+ also+ tested+ for+ impairment.+ As+ of+ 31+ December+2014+no+impairment+potential+was+identified.
Estimates+used+to+measure+recoverable+amounts
Applying+ the+ discounted+ cash+ flow+ approach,+ growth+ rates+ and+ discount+ rates+ are+ the+ major+ assumptions+to+determine+the+value+in+use.+Revenue+growth over+the+course+of+the+business+plan+was+ estimated+considering+experience from+previous+years.+Basis+ for+the+growth+rates+is+the+anticipated+ development+of+business+with+existing+and+new+customers. The+applied+discount+rates+reflect+market+ risks+of+the+CGUs.
The+calculation+of+the+appropriate+discount+rates+accounts+for+factors+specific to+the+company+and+its+ business+ units.+ It+ is+ based+ on+ industry+ specific+ weighted+ average+ costs+ of+ capital+ (WACC).+ This+ discount+rate+was+further+adjusted+in+order+to+account+for+market+expectations+concerning+and+risks+ associated+with+the+CGU+windeln.ch+and+which+are+not+reflected+in+the+cash+flows.
The+major+assumptions+for+the+calculation+of+value+in+use+for+the+software+development+projects+are+ discount+ rates+ and+ generated+ value.+ The+ latter+ comprises+ in+ one+ case+ an+ increase+ in+ efficiency+ in+ human+ resources;+ in+ a+ second+ case+ it+ comprises+ the+ revenue+ growth+ with+ customers+ using+mobile+ interfaces.+
Sensitivity+analysis+of+applied+estimates
Management+ growth+expectations,+ as+ applied+ in+ the+ business+ plan+ for+ the+ next+ five+ years,+ assume+ revenue+ growth+ rates+ ranging+ from+ 17.5%+ to+ 117.7%.+ Beyond+ the+ five+ year+ forecast+ period+ a+ long+ term+growth+rate+of+1%+was+assumed.
No+plausible+variation+in+ the+long+ term+growth+ rate+would+ result+in+an+impairment. A+ risk+premium+ incorporated+in+the+costs+of+capital+(WACC)+reflects+the+risk+of+not+achieving+the+forecast+revenues.
An+increase+of+the+pre+tax+discount+rate+above+30.5%+would+result+in+an+impairment+for+the+goodwill.
An+ increase+ of+ the+ pre+ tax+ discount+ rate+ above+ 66.0%+ and+ 57.3%+ respectively+ would+ result+ in+ impairments+of+the+software+development+projects.

8.10 Defined)benefit)obligations)and)other)accrued)employee)benefits)
a) Defined)benefit)obligations)
The+Group+has defined+benefit+pension+plans for+its+employees+in+Switzerland.
These+ retirement+ plans+ are+ based+ on+ the+ two+ pillars+ of+ the+ state+ retirement+ plan+ and+ are+ performanceEoriented+(funded+insurance).
The+retirement+services+in+these+plans+for+windeln.ch+AG+and+UrbanEBrand+Schweiz+GmbH+are+based+ on+ a+ defined+ benefit+ plan+ with+ a+ guaranteed+ minimum+ interest+ rate+ and+ fixed+ conversion+ rates,+ benefits+in+cases+of+death+and+invalidity+are+defined+as+percentages+of+the+insured+salary.
The+retirement+plan+guarantees+benefits+which+exceed+the+legal+minimum+benefits+according+to+the+ Federal+ Old+ Age+ Insurance+ Law+ of+ Switzerland+ (BVG).+ This+ law+ stipulates,+ amongst+ others,+ the+ following+framework+conditions:+Annual+salary+up+to+CHF+84,240+(as+of 2013/2014)+must+be+insured.+ The+contributions+to+pension+benefits+are+ageEdependent+and+increase+with+age+ from+7% to+18% of+ the+ salary+ insured.+ The+ conversion+ rate+ for pension+ funds amounts+ to+ at+ least+ 6.8% at+ standard+ retirement+age+(65+for+men+and+64+for+women).
The+retirement+plan+must+be+completely+funded+on+the+basis+of+a+statistical+valuation+pursuant+to+the+ stipulations+of+the+BVG.+In+the+case+of+underfunding,+the+retirement+fund+must+take+remedial+action,+ such+as+making+additional+employee+and+employer+contributions+or+reducing+the+benefits.
The+ Group+ joined the+ collective+ fund+ "Vita" for+ the+ purpose+ of+ funding+ retirement+ benefits.+ The+ retirement+ fund+ has+ a+ separate legal+ entity.+ The+ retirement+ fund+ is+ responsible+ for+ managing+ the+ retirement+plan.+The+foundation+board ("Stiftungsrat")+consists+of+an+even+number of+representatives of+the+employer+and+employees, who+are+elected+by+the+associated+firms.
The+ retirement+ fund+ has+ passed+ regulations which+ define,+ in+ particular,+ the+ asset+ management+ policies.
The+plan+usually+exposes+the+Group+to+the+following+risks:
- Investment+risk
The+ present+ value+ of+ the+ defined+ benefit obligation+ from+ this+ plan+ is+ calculated+ using+ a+ discount+ rate+ which+ is defined+ on+ the+ basis+ of+ the+ returns+ of+ firstErank,+ fixedEinterest+ company+bonds.+Provided+the+returns+ from+this+plan+asset+are+lower+than+the+interest+rate,+ this+will+not+lead+to+the+plan+being+underfunded.
- Interest+rate+risk
A+decline+in+ the+interest+rate of+bonds will+lead+ to+increased+plan+obligations,+although+ this+ will+be+compensated+for+in+part+by+an+increased+return+on fixedEinterest+debt+instruments.+
- Longevity+risk
The+present+value+of+the+defined+benefit obligation+from+the+plan+is+calculated+on+the+basis+of+ the+best+possible+estimate+of+the+likelihood+that+the+covered+employee+will+die+both+during+ his/her+ working+ life+ as+ well+ as+ after+ the+ termination+ thereof.+ An+ increase+ in+ the+ covered+ employee's+life+expectancy+will+lead+to+an+increased+plan+obligation.
- Salary+risk
The+present+value+of+the+defined+benefit obligation+from+the+plan+is+calculated+on+the+basis+of+ future+salaries+of+the+covered+employees.+Hence,+raises+for+the+covered+employee+lead+to+a+ increased+plan+obligation.
The+Group+is+exposed+to+a+possible+concentration+risk+due+to+the+fact+that+the+plan+asset+is+invested+in+ various+classes+of+investment.
As+of 31+December+2014,+the+provision+for+pensions+recorded+by+windeln.ch+AG+amounted+to+kEUR+ 56 (31 December+2013:+kEUR+62).
The+employees+of+UrbanEBrand+Schweiz+GmbH+have,+as+of 31+December+2013,+been+transferred+into+ windeln.ch+AG+and+the+pension+obligations+have+been+transferred+accordingly.
No+pension+obligations+existed+as+of 31+December+2012 and+1+January+2012.

Interest*rate*risk
The+interest+rate+risk+includes+the+influence+of+positive+and+negative+changes+to+interest+rates+on+the+ profit,+ equity,+ or+ cash+ flow+ in+ the+ current+ or+ a+ future+ reporting+ period.+ Interest+ rate+ risks+ from+ financial+ instruments+ can+ arise+ within+ the+ windeln.de+ Group+ mainly+ in+ connection+ with+ financial+ liabilities.
The+ parent+ company+ has+ incurred+ an+ overdraft+ facility+ with+ a+ fixed interest+ rate+ and+ is+ therefore+ currently+ not+ subject+ to+ any+ risks+ from+ interest+ rate+ changes+ with+ regards+ to+ financial+ liabilities.+ A+ change+in+the+market+risk+at+reporting+date+by+100+BP,+would+have+no+effect on+the+Group+profit+or+ equity.
b) Credit)risk)
The+credit+risk,+also+known+as+risk+of+default,+is+the+risk+that+a+business+partner+will+not+fulfil+his/her+ obligations+in+the+framework+of+a+financial+instrument+or+customer+contract+and+that+this+will+lead+to+ a+ financial+ loss.+ The+extent+ of+ this+ credit+ risk+ for+ the+ windeln.de+Group+ corresponds+ to+ the+ sum+ of+ trade+receivables,+as+well+as+other+financial+assets+and+cash+or+cash+equivalents.+The+maximum+credit+ risk+ in+ case+ of+ a+ counterparty+ defaulting+ corresponds+ for+ all+ classes+ of+ financial+ asset+ to+ the+ book+
value+on+the+balance+sheet+date+in+each+case.+There+do+not+exist+any+significant+concentration+risks+ for+the+windeln.de+Group.
Risks+of+default+will+arise+ for+ the+windeln.de+Group+mainly+ from+ trade+ receivables+ from customers.+ Credit+ limits+ are+ set+ for+ all+ customers+ based+ on+ internal+ risk+ classification+ guidelines.+ Outstanding+ receivables+ from+ customers+ are+ monitored+ regularly+ and+ put+ through+ a+ threeEstep+ collection+ procedure.+ In+ order+ to+ reduce+ the+ credit+ risk,+ collective+ allowance+ is+ recorded,+ taking+ into+ consideration+the+age+structure+of+the+receivables.+Overdue+and+unsuccessfully+collected+receivables+ are+sold+at+a+fixed+rate+and+the+remaining+uncollectible+amount+is+recorded+through+profit+and+loss.
In+ addition,+ there+ exists+ a+ risk+ of+ default+ for+ cash+ and+ cash+ equivalents to+ the+ effect+ that+ financial+ institutions+can+no+longer+ fulfil+ their+obligations.+This+ risk+of+default+is+confined+by+carrying+out+ this+ investment+at+various+banking+institutions+with+good+ratings.

As+of 1+January+2012+no+assets+or+liabilities+were+recognised and+measured+at+fair+value.
The+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ contingent+ consideration+ is+ measured+ on+ a+ quarterly+ basis.+ The+ valuation+ approach+ used+ for+ this+ estimation+ is+ described+ in+ detail+ in+section+ 7+ and+ was+ applied+ consistently+ during+the+reporting+period.
This+financial+instrument+is+classified+as+Level+3,+since+future+estimated+revenues+and+EBITDA+values+ are+ used+ in+ the+ calculation+ of+ the+ fair+ value.+ As+ of+ 31+ December+ 2014+ cumulated+ revenues of+ kEUR 11,600+and+a cumulated+EBITDA+under+kEUR+E1,575 is+expected+for+the+relevant+business+sector+ and+the+relevant+time+span.
As+ of+ 31+ December+ 2013,+ the+ fair+ value+ of+ the+ contingent+ consideration+ amounted to+ kEUR+ 0 compared+to+kEUR+2,211 as+of 31+December+2014.
Changes+to the fair+value+are+recognised+in+financial+income+or+financial+expenses in+profit+or+loss.+In+ 2014,+due+to+changes+in+the+fair+value+of+the+financial+instrument,+financial+income+is+recorded+in+the+ amount+of+kEUR+2,211.
With+regards+to+future+revenues+and+EBITDA+for+the+business+sector,+statistical+models+were+used+for+ these+ calculations.+ The+ actual+ development+ of+ the+ revenues+ and+ EBITDA+ may+ deviate+ from+ the+ assumptions+ made.+ A+ deviation+ would+ lead+ to+ a+ lower+ (return+ of+ 0+ shares)+ or+ higher+ (return+ of+ maximum+2,784+shares)+reimbursement.
If+a+ financial+instrument+is+to+be+classified+as+Level+3,+the+Management+is+to+decide+which+valuation+ process+is+ to+ be+ used.+In+ order+ to+ help+with+ the+ decisionEmaking+ process,+ the+Management+will be+ presented+ with+ various+ alternatives+ by+ the+ inEhouse+ valuation+ department.+ After+ having+ selected+ a+ valuation+ process,+ this+will+ be+ used+ continuously+with+ regards+ to+ this+ financial+ instrument.+The+ fair+ value+will+be+measured+at+least+quarterly.
There+ were+ no+ reclassifications+ between+ the+ different+ levels+ during+ the+ reporting+ period.+ If+ circumstances+arise+which+require+a+change+in+classification,+the+affected+financial+instruments+will+be+ reclassified+quarterly.

According to+IAS+ 7,+ the+cash+ flows+are+recognised separately+based+on+origin+and+use+between+ the+ operative+sector+and+the+cash+flow+from+the+investment+and+financing+activities.+The+cash+inflow+and+ outflow+ from+ operating+ activities+ are+ indirectly+ inferred+ from+ the+ annual+ profit+ and+ losses+ by+ the+ Group.+Cash+inflow+and+outflow+from+investing+and+financing+activities+are+derived+directly.+The+funds+ in+the+consolidated+cash+flow+statement+correspond+to+the+value+of+cash+and+cash equivalents+in+the+ consolidated+statement+of+ financial+position.+Cash+and+cash+equivalents+include+ the+ freely+available+ cash+deposits+and+deposits+with+financial+institutions.
The+negative+cash+flow+from+operating+activities+results+from+the+correction+of the+annual+deficit+by+ nonEcash+effects.+The+growth+of+the+windeln.de+Group+is+equally+reflected+in+a+significantly+increased+ stock+of+goods+as+well+as+a+high+amount+trade+receivables+and+payables.
The+ negative+ cash+ flow+ from+ the+ investment+ activities+ derives+ predominantly+ from+ investments+ in+ intangible+ assets.+ Here,+ investments+ have+ been+ made+ in+ particular+ in+ developing+ the+ Group's+ own+ online+shop.+ In+ addition,+ investments+ have+ been+ made+ in+ other+ software+ as+ well+ as+ in+ plant+ and+ equipment.
The+cash+ flow+from+ financing+activities+consists+in+essence+of+payments+ from+ shareholders+into+ the+ equity+of+windeln.de+GmbH,+through+which+the+intended+growth+has+been+financed+upfront+and+with+ which+the+liquidity+of+the+Group+was+guaranteed+at+all+times.
