Report of Independent

Auditors

ROBOPOLIS

December 31, 2016

ROBOPOLIS

11 Avenue Albert Einstein

69100 Villeurbanne

France

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Robopolis, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

I.    Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

II.    Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly,


Report of Independent

Auditors

ROBOPOLIS

we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

III.     Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Robopolis as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Note 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Robopolis (hereinafter “the Company”) is a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) governed by French law. Its registered office is located in Villeurbanne, France.

The consolidated financial statements cover the 12-month period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

Note 2. DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group applies all the standards and interpretations in effect at the year-end.

The Group has not identified any recent amendments to IFRS likely to impact its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. ACCOUNTING BASIS

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the simplified joint stock company, Robopolis and the subsidiaries it controls.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, unless otherwise stated. Amounts are rounded up where the figure after the decimal is 500 or more.

The list of consolidated companies is presented in Note 37.

Preparation and presentation of the financial statements

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the notes thereto were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 22, 2017.

 

Note 4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

4.1. General measurement methods   

The Group consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments measured at fair value. They are also prepared on a going concern basis.

 

4.2. Use of estimates   

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) involves the use of estimates and assumptions by Group Management which impact the accounting value of certain asset, liability, income and expense items and information disclosed in certain notes to the financial statements.

These assumptions are uncertain in nature and future values could differ from these estimates. The Group regularly reviews estimates and assessments to take account of past experience and integrate factors considered relevant with respect to economic conditions.

The main accounts and disclosures concerned by significant estimates are goodwill, financial assets and provisions for contingencies and losses.

 

      Page 13          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

 

4.3. Consolidation method   

All companies draw up their financial statements to December 31.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Group. They are fully consolidated from the date control is obtained to the date control is transferred outside the Group. The Group is deemed to control a subsidiary where it holds the power, directly or indirectly, to govern its financial and operating policies so as to obtain the benefits of its activities. Companies are generally considered to be controlled by Robopolis where it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of voting rights.

The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiary. Equity and net income are split between amounts attributable to owners of the Company and amounts attributable to minority shareholders (non-controlling interests).

Financial statements are consolidated from the date of acquisition of control to the date control is lost.

Robopolis only has subsidiaries. It does not hold any interests in joint ventures and does not exercise significant influence over any other entity.

Transactions eliminated

Commercial and financial transactions and balances and the results of inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

4.4. Business combinations   

Goodwill

Any positive difference between the acquisition cost of a business combination and the interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition of control is recognized in assets in goodwill. Any negative difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

Goodwill is not amortized. Impairment tests are performed at least once annually and more frequently where there is indication that an impairment loss may have occurred. Testing procedures seek to ensure that the recoverable amount of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) to which goodwill is allocated is at least equal to its net carrying amount.

A cash-generating unit is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other CGUs. The following criteria are considered when identifying CGUs:

 

      Page 14          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

  -

how management monitors the entity’s operations or how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing of the entity’s assets and operations,

 

  -

if an active market exists for all or part of the output produced by the asset or group of assets,

 

  -

the independent nature of the CGU with regard to its management team, strategy and market.

As the Group has a uniform business, with flows exposed to the same risks and return, a single CGU has been identified. Goodwill is therefore allocated to this CGU in assets.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests are recognized based on the fair value of net assets purchased.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are equal to the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of net assets purchased.

Following the changes introduced by IAS 27 revised, subsidiary losses may be allocated to non-controlling interests even where the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity is negative.

 

4.5. Foreign currency translation   

Foreign currency-denominated transactions

Foreign currency-denominated transactions are translated into euros at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates.

Financial statements presented in foreign currencies

All Group companies present their assets and liabilities in euros. All foreign subsidiaries were located in the euro zone at the reporting date.

 

4.6. Intangible assets   

Measurement

Intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost net of accumulated amortization and any impairment.

Amortization

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over an average useful life of 3 years.

 

      Page 15          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

 

4.7. Property, plant and equipment   

Measurement

Property, plant and equipment are carried at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment recognized in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of assets.

The cost of borrowings that finance assets over a long period of commissioning or production are not added to the entry cost of such assets and are expensed to profit or loss of the period.

Any major asset components with a useful life that is less than the useful life of the main asset are identified and depreciated over their own useful life. Recurring maintenance costs and maintenance costs that do not meet the criteria for recognition in accordance with the components approach are expensed to profit or loss in the period incurred.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives.

Land is not depreciated.

 

-    Building fixtures and improvements      10 years     
-    Office furniture      4 years     
-    Vehicles      5 years     
-    Computer hardware      3 years     

Other

The Group did not receive any investment grants during the year.

Leases

Assets purchased under finance leases transferring to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are recognized in balance sheet assets at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability is recorded in financial liabilities.

Lease payments are apportioned between interest expense and amortization of the lease obligation so as to obtain a constant interest rate on the balance of the loan liability.

Assets purchased under finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life in accordance with Group rules and the lease term. They are tested for impairment annually in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of assets.

 

      Page 16          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

4.8. Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment   

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of assets to identify any impairment losses:

 

  -

intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill: at the end of each reporting period;

 

  -

other assets: where there is indication that the asset may be impaired.

An impairment is recognized if the recoverable amount of an asset falls below its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets) is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

The value in use is equal to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset (or group of assets) and its disposal. The Group uses forecast cash flows that are consistent with forecast business plans prepared by management.

The discount rate used reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or group of assets. It is based on the current market risk-free rate of interest, equal to the time value of money plus the margin necessary to cover the risk specific to the asset.

The discount rate is applied to post-tax cash flows, producing identical recoverable amounts to those obtained by applying pre-tax rates to pre-tax cash flows.

Any impairment losses are recognized directly in operating profit or loss.

Impairment tests have been performed on goodwill. The results were satisfactory and no impairment was recognized.

 

4.9. Inventories and WIP   

The Group has no production activity.

Goods and other supplies are carried at purchase price plus incidental expenses, net of any rebates and discounts obtained and valued using the weighted average unit cost method. Goods are impaired where necessary to reflect any risk of obsolescence. Impairment is recognized where the recoverable value falls below the carrying amount.

As of December 31, 2016, inventory had a gross carrying amount of:

K20,555

Impairment totaled:

K467

Giving a carrying amount net of impairment of:

K20,088

 

4.10. Trade receivables   

Trade receivables are current financial assets.

They are recognized in the initial amount of invoices, net of any impairment provisions for irrecoverable amounts. The amount of doubtful receivables is estimated when the recovery in full of a receivable is no longer considered probable. Irrecoverable receivables are recognized as a loss when identified.

 

4.11. Other financial instruments   

Classification of asset financial instruments

Financial assets are classified in one of the following categories as appropriate:

  -

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,

  -

loans and receivables,

  -

held-to-maturity investments, or

  -

available-for sale financial assets.

The Group determines the classification of financial assets on their initial recognition and reviews this classification at each reporting date when authorized and appropriate.

All investments are initially recognized at fair value, including investment acquisition costs.

Investments classified in the “fair value through profit or loss” and “available-for-sale” categories are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date.

Financial assets held by the Group relate exclusively to contractual receivables, measured at amortized cost at each reporting date and recorded net of any impairment.

The Group does not use derivative instruments.

 

      Page 18          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

Classification of liability financial instruments

Financial liabilities are classified, as appropriate, in financial liabilities at amortized cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

 

4.12. Cash and cash equivalents   

Cash and cash equivalents include liquid assets and short-term investments with an initial maturity of less than three months at the acquisition date. Short-term investments are marked-to-market at each reporting date.

Cash equivalents do not include commitments in respect of transactions hedging foreign-currency purchases of goods. Only the unrealized exchange gain or loss previously taken to equity is now recorded in the Income Statement (effective hedge at the reporting date).

 

4.13. Employee benefits   

Pension plans

The Group provides supplementary pensions or other long-term benefits to employees, in accordance with customary or legal requirements. It offers these benefits through defined contribution or defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined-contribution plans, the Group’s only obligation is the payment of premiums. Contributions paid to the plans are recognized as expenses of the period. If applicable, provisions are recognized for outstanding contributions at the reporting date. The commitments presented in Note 21 solely concern employee remuneration. No assets are held to cover these commitments.

Type of commitments

 

  -

Retirement termination payments

Termination payments are due by French Group entities under the industry collective bargaining agreement. They comprise retirement termination payments and end-of-career payments paid on voluntary retirement or when an employee reaches the legal retirement age.

 

  -

Supplementary pension plans

Provisions are recognized for retirement commitments and similar obligations arising from defined benefit plans and are measured based on an actuarial calculation performed at least once a year. These commitments solely concern retirement termination payments. The projected unit credit method is applied as follows: each period of service creates an additional unit of benefit

 

      Page 19          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

entitlement, and each of these units is measured separately to determine the Group’s employee benefit obligation.

The calculations take into account the specific features of the various plans and assumptions for the retirement date, career advancement, salary increases, as well as the probability of the employee still being employed by the Group at retirement age (turnover rates, mortality tables, etc.).

The obligation is discounted based on interest rates on long-term bonds issued by companies with the highest credit ratings. The obligation is provided net of any plan assets measured at fair value.

Actuarial gains and losses are generated by changes in assumptions and are recognized in profit or loss.

The net expense for retirement commitments and similar obligations is recorded in net operating income of the period, except for any discounting expense recorded in net financial expense.

 

4.14. Other provisions   

A provision is recognized when, at the reporting date, the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions are discounted to present value if the time value of money is material. The related increase in the provisions is recognized as a financial expense.

In the case of restructuring, a provision may be recognized only if, at the reporting date, the Company has announced the restructuring and drawn up a detailed plan or started to implement the plan.

Provisions are booked with regard to disputes (industrial tribunals, tax audits, customer disputes, etc.) if the Group has an uncontested obligation to a third party at the reporting date. They are determined based on the best estimate of the expense likely to be required to settle the obligation.

 

4.15. Borrowings   

Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the initial nominal value less related transaction costs. At each reporting date, financial liabilities are then measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowings are broken down between:

 

  -

current liabilities, comprising the portion to be repaid in the twelve months following the reporting date;

 

      Page 20          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

  -

non-current liabilities for the portion maturing in more than twelve months.

Foreign exchange risk

The majority of Group sales are performed in euros, while purchases are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. The transactions performed by Group companies therefore generate a foreign exchange position.

Generally speaking, the Group systematically hedges foreign exchange risk arising on transactions performed in a currency other than the euro (notably the U.S. dollar). The Group hedges its foreign exchange risk through forward purchases of currency corresponding to budget estimates for purchases of goods.

Foreign exchange hedges are recorded at fair value, with the effective portion of gains and losses taken to equity and the ineffective portion of gains and losses taken to profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39. Current borrowings do not therefore include all commitments resulting from transactions hedging foreign currency purchases of goods but only any related unrealized exchange gains or losses.

The balance sheet accounts impacted by these transaction are presented in Notes 15 and 18.

 

4.16. Trade payables and other creditors   

Trade and other payables are recognized in the amount of the cash or consideration received, that is at the transaction price. They represent financial liabilities.

 

4.17. Income tax   

Deferred taxes are recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences existing at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, as well as on unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates expected to apply during the period in which the asset will be realized or the liability settled, based on tax regulations that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes are calculated individually for each entity and are offset when the taxes are collected by the same tax authority and concern the same tax entity.

Deferred taxes payable are recognized as income or expenditure in the Income Statement unless they relate to a transaction or event that is recognized directly in equity.

Deferred taxes are presented on separate lines of the Balance Sheet under non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

 

      Page 21          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.

 

4.18. Revenue   

Sales are recognized at the date of transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, generally evidenced by the delivery of the goods.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in accordance with IAS 18, equal to the amount of cash or cash equivalents received or receivable, net of any trade discounts or volume rebates.

 

4.19. Current operating income   

The income statement format used by the Group employs a classification by expense.

Current operating income is equal to the difference between pre-tax income and expenses other than:

 

  -

other income and expenses;

 

  -

financial items;

 

  -

net income of associates;

 

  -

income or losses from discontinued operations or assets held for sale.

Any “Employee statutory profit-sharing” is included in the employee benefits expense.

Net operating income is equal to current operating income adjusted for other income and expenses that are unusual in nature or occur rarely and particularly:

 

  -

impairment of goodwill and non-current assets;

 

  -

significant restructuring expenses, or expenses related to adjustments to headcount as a result of major events or decisions;

 

  -

capital gains or losses on disposals of non-current assets;

 

  -

significant income and expenses resulting from litigation.

 

4.20. Earnings per share   

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing Group consolidated net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

      Page 22          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2016   LOGO

 

4.21. Operating segments   

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services (business segment) and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.

The Group has a single business segment.

The geographic segments adopted by Robopolis for secondary reporting purposes reflect customer invoicing addresses.

Segment assets are the non-current and current assets used by a segment. Any assets not allocated to a segment are presented on the line “Unallocated assets”.

Segment liabilities are those liabilities that result from the activities of a segment and that either are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. They include non-current and current liabilities. Any liabilities not allocated to a segment are presented on the line “Unallocated liabilities”.

IFRS 8 on segment reporting, which entered into mandatory effect for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, only requires one level of segment reporting. A breakdown by geographic region is therefore no longer presented.

The Group operates exclusively in the euro zone. Its subsidiaries are located in Spain, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Portugal.

Note 5. MAJOR EVENTS OF THE PERIOD

The Company developed its business in Portugal during the year, creating a wholly-owned subsidiary to further expand its distribution network. The company’s development also involved a number of asset disposals.

On December 31, 2016, Robopolis SAS purchased 46,728 of its own shares at a unit price of 334,409 per share, with a view to cancelling them. The consideration was settled partly in cash and partly via vendor credit.

There were no other major events during the period.

Note 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The contract dated December 5, 2012 for the acquisition of 90% of the share capital of the subsidiary, Asimotion, included an option for the purchase by the Company of the remaining 10% of shares by December 31, 2017 at the latest. This share purchase transaction was completed and validated by a decision of the Board of Directors on March 16, 2017.

All the decisions approved by the General Assembly of Shareholders dated December 13, 2016 were fully performed including the payment in anticipation of all the Seller’s financing arrangements.

On July 25, 2017 Robopolis’ shareholders signed a Shares Purchase Agreement with iRobot, a US company being its main supplier and partner in order to sell 100% of the shares. The final closing is planned on October 2, 2017.

On August 31, 2017, the Robopolis SAS purchased 1 850 of its own shares at a unit price of € 496,569 per share in order to cancel them as per the decision of the General Assembly dated July 13, 2017. The consideration was settled fully in cash.

As part of the SPA conditions, Robopolis SAS has to sell all hedging positions before the closing.

As of today, ROBOPOLIS sold a third of the related position and plan to sell all remaining positions before the end of the month, as requested by the SPA. The total estimated costs for Robopolis to sell all hedging positions is approximately 5 million Euros.

Note 20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management is based on specific risk strategies for interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and credit risks.

Foreign exchange risk

See Note 4.15

Interest rate risk

As the Group is generally only exposed to very limited interest rate risk, Group management does not consider it necessary to implement a hedging strategy to mitigate or neutralize this risk.

Liquidity risk

The Group could be exposed to liquidity risk if all available import credit facilities are used. Assessed with respect to the Group’s financial structure, liquidity risk is considered non-existent at the reporting date.

Credit risk

In the majority of cases, sales are performed subject to a retention of ownership clause.

The credit risk is relatively low.

The Group considers that the accounting value of all financial assets and liabilities may be deemed the most representative of market value.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED

Report of Independent

Auditors

ROBOPOLIS

December 31, 2015

ROBOPOLIS

11 Avenue Albert Einstein

69100 Villeurbanne

France

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Robopolis, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

I.     Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

II.     Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly,


Report of Independent

Auditors

ROBOPOLIS

December 31, 2015

 

we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

III.     Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Robopolis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Note 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Robopolis (hereinafter “the Company”) is a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) governed by French law. Its registered office is located in Villeurbanne, France.

The Group is the European leader in domestic robotics. It holds exclusive distribution contracts in the regions where it operates and primarily with the manufacturer, IRobot.

The consolidated financial statements cover the 12-month period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

Note 2. DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group applies all the standards and interpretations in effect at the year-end.

Recent changes in IFRS (see below) did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Standard or interpretation

 

  

 

Amendment

 

AMENDMENT RESULTING FROM THE IFRS ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
Amendment to IAS 1   Presentation of financial statements   

Pursuant to Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) no. 149/2011, the Group applied the above amendments in preparing the financial statements for the reporting period.

The Group has not elected to adopt early the standards, interpretations and amendments published by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union or which enter into effect after December 31, 2015.

 

Note 3. ACCOUNTING BASIS

 

      Page 10          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the simplified joint stock company, Robopolis and the subsidiaries it controls.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, unless otherwise stated. Amounts are rounded up where the figure after the decimal is 500 or more.

The list of consolidated companies is presented in Note 37.

Preparation and presentation of the financial statements

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the notes thereto were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 22, 2017.

 

Note 4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

4.1. General measurement methods   

The Group consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments measured at fair value. They are also prepared on a going concern basis.

 

4.2. Use of estimates   

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) involves the use of estimates and assumptions by Group Management which impact the accounting value of certain asset, liability, income and expense items and information disclosed in certain notes to the financial statements.

These assumptions are uncertain in nature and future values could differ from these estimates. The Group regularly reviews estimates and assessments to take account of past experience and integrate factors considered relevant with respect to economic conditions.

The main accounts and disclosures concerned by significant estimates are goodwill, financial assets and provisions for contingencies and losses.

 

4.3. Consolidation method   

All companies draw up their financial statements to December 31.

Subsidiaries

 

      Page 11          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Group. They are fully consolidated from the date control is obtained to the date control is transferred outside the Group. The Group is deemed to control a subsidiary where it holds the power, directly or indirectly, to govern its financial and operating policies so as to obtain the benefits of its activities. Companies are generally considered to be controlled by Robopolis where it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of voting rights.

The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiary. Equity and net income are split between amounts attributable to owners of the Company and amounts attributable to minority shareholders (non-controlling interests).

Financial statements are consolidated from the date of acquisition of control to the date control is lost.

Robopolis only has subsidiaries. It does not hold any interests in joint ventures and does not exercise significant influence over any other entity.

Transactions eliminated

Commercial and financial transactions and balances and the results of inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

4.4. Business combinations   

Goodwill

Any positive difference between the acquisition cost of a business combination and the interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition of control is recognized in assets in goodwill. Any negative difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

Goodwill is not amortized. Impairment tests are performed at least once annually and more frequently where there is indication that an impairment loss may have occurred. Testing procedures seek to ensure that the recoverable amount of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) to which goodwill is allocated is at least equal to its net carrying amount.

A cash-generating unit is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other CGUs. The following criteria are considered when identifying CGUs:

 

      Page 12          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

  -

how management monitors the entity’s operations or how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing of the entity’s assets and operations,

 

  -

if an active market exists for all or part of the output produced by the asset or group of assets,

 

  -

the independent nature of the CGU with regard to its management team, strategy and market.

As the Group has a uniform business, with flows exposed to the same risks and return, a single CGU has been identified. Goodwill is therefore allocated to this CGU in assets.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests are recognized based on the fair value of net assets purchased.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are equal to the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of net assets purchased.

Following the changes introduced by IAS 27 revised, subsidiary losses may be allocated to non-controlling interests even where the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity is negative.

 

4.5. Foreign currency translation   

Foreign currency-denominated transactions

Foreign currency-denominated transactions are translated into euros at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates.

Financial statements presented in foreign currencies

All Group companies present their assets and liabilities in euros. All foreign subsidiaries were located in the euro zone at the reporting date.

 

4.6. Intangible assets   

Measurement

Intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost net of accumulated amortization and any impairment.

Amortization

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over an average useful life of 3 years.

 

      Page 13          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

 

4.7. Property, plant and equipment   

Measurement

Property, plant and equipment are carried at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment recognized in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of assets.

The cost of borrowings that finance assets over a long period of commissioning or production are not added to the entry cost of such assets and are expensed to profit or loss of the period.

Any major asset components with a useful life that is less than the useful life of the main asset are identified and depreciated over their own useful life. Recurring maintenance costs and maintenance costs that do not meet the criteria for recognition in accordance with the components approach are expensed to profit or loss in the period incurred.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives.

Land is not depreciated.

 

-    Building fixtures and improvements      10 years     
-    Office furniture      4 years     
-    Vehicles      5 years     
-    Computer hardware      3 years     

Other

The Group did not receive any investment grants during the year.

Leases

Assets purchased under finance leases transferring to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are recognized in balance sheet assets at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability is recorded in financial liabilities.

Lease payments are apportioned between interest expense and amortization of the lease obligation so as to obtain a constant interest rate on the balance of the loan liability.

Assets purchased under finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life in accordance with Group rules and the lease term. They are tested for impairment annually in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of assets.

 

      Page 14          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

4.8. Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment   

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of assets to identify any impairment losses:

 

  -

intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill: at the end of each reporting period;

 

  -

other assets: where there is indication that the asset may be impaired.

An impairment is recognized if the recoverable amount of an asset falls below its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets) is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

The value in use is equal to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset (or group of assets) and its disposal. The Group uses forecast cash flows that are consistent with forecast business plans prepared by management.

The discount rate used reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or group of assets. It is based on the current market risk-free rate of interest, equal to the time value of money plus the margin necessary to cover the risk specific to the asset.

The discount rate is applied to post-tax cash flows, producing identical recoverable amounts to those obtained by applying pre-tax rates to pre-tax cash flows.

Any impairment losses are recognized directly in operating profit or loss.

Impairment tests have been performed on goodwill. The results were satisfactory and no impairment was recognized.

 

4.9. Inventories and WIP   

The Group has no production activity.

Goods and other supplies are carried at purchase price plus incidental expenses, net of any rebates and discounts obtained and valued using the weighted average unit cost method. Goods are impaired where necessary to reflect any risk of obsolescence. Impairment is recognized where the recoverable value falls below the carrying amount.

As of December 31, 2015, inventory had a gross carrying amount of:

 

      Page 15          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

K22,944

Impairment totaled:

K348

Giving a carrying amount net of impairment of:

K€22,596

 

4.10. Trade receivables   

Trade receivables are current financial assets.

They are recognized in the initial amount of invoices, net of any impairment provisions for irrecoverable amounts. The amount of doubtful receivables is estimated when the recovery in full of a receivable is no longer considered probable. Irrecoverable receivables are recognized as a loss when identified.

 

4.11. Other financial instruments   

Classification of asset financial instruments

Financial assets are classified in one of the following categories as appropriate:

  -

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,

 

  -

loans and receivables,

 

  -

held-to-maturity investments, or

 

  -

available-for sale financial assets.

The Group determines the classification of financial assets on their initial recognition and reviews this classification at each year-end when authorized and appropriate.

All investments are initially recognized at fair value, including investment acquisition costs.

Investments classified in the “fair value through profit or loss” and “available-for-sale” categories are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date.

Financial assets held by the Group relate exclusively to contractual receivables, measured at amortized cost at each reporting date and recorded net of any impairment.

The Group does not use derivative instruments.

 

      Page 16          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

Classification of liability financial instruments

Financial liabilities are classified, as appropriate, in financial liabilities at amortized cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

 

4.12. Cash and cash equivalents   

Cash and cash equivalents include liquid assets and short-term investments with an initial maturity of less than three months at the acquisition date. Short-term investments are marked-to-market at each reporting date.

Cash equivalents do not include commitments in respect of transactions hedging foreign-currency purchases of goods. Only the unrealized exchange gain or loss previously taken to equity is now recorded in the Income Statement (ineffective hedge at the reporting date).

 

4.13. Employee benefits   

Pension plans

The Group provides supplementary pensions or other long-term benefits to employees, in accordance with customary or legal requirements. It offers these benefits through defined contribution or defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined-contribution plans, the Group’s only obligation is the payment of premiums. Contributions paid to the plans are recognized as expenses of the period. If applicable, provisions are recognized for outstanding contributions at the reporting date. The commitments presented in Note 21 solely concern employee remuneration. No assets are held to cover these commitments.

Type of commitments

 

  -

Retirement termination payments

Termination payments are due by French Group entities under the industry collective bargaining agreement. They comprise retirement termination payments and end-of-career payments paid on voluntary retirement or when an employee reaches the legal retirement age.

 

  -

Supplementary pension plans

Provisions are recognized for retirement commitments and similar obligations arising from defined benefit plans and are measured based on an actuarial calculation performed at least once a year. These commitments solely concern retirement termination payments. The projected unit credit method is applied as follows: each period of service creates an additional unit of benefit

 

      Page 17          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

entitlement, and each of these units is measured separately to determine the Group’s employee benefit obligation.

The calculations take into account the specific features of the various plans and assumptions for the retirement date, career advancement, salary increases, as well as the probability of the employee still being employed by the Group at retirement age (turnover rates, mortality tables, etc.).

The obligation is discounted based on interest rates on long-term bonds issued by companies with the highest credit ratings. The obligation is provided net of any plan assets measured at fair value.

Actuarial gains and losses are generated by changes in assumptions and are recognized in profit or loss.

The net expense for retirement commitments and similar obligations is recorded in net operating income of the period, except for any discounting expense recorded in net financial expense.

 

4.14. Other provisions   

A provision is recognized when, at the reporting date, the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions are discounted to present value if the time value of money is material. The related increase in the provisions is recognized as a financial expense.

In the case of restructuring, a provision may be recognized only if, at the reporting date, the Company has announced the restructuring and drawn up a detailed plan or started to implement the plan.

Provisions are booked with regard to disputes (industrial tribunals, tax audits, customer disputes, etc.) if the Group has an uncontested obligation to a third party at the reporting date. They are determined based on the best estimate of the expense likely to be required to settle the obligation.

 

      Page 18          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

4.15. Borrowings   

Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the initial nominal value less related transaction costs. At each reporting date, financial liabilities are then measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowings are broken down between:

  -

current liabilities, comprising the portion to be repaid in the twelve months following the reporting date;

 

  -

non-current liabilities for the portion maturing in more than twelve months.

Foreign exchange risk

The majority of Group sales are performed in euros, while purchases are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. The transactions performed by Group companies therefore generate a foreign exchange position.

Generally speaking, the Group systematically hedges foreign exchange risk arising on transactions performed in a currency other than the euro (notably the U.S. dollar). The Group hedges its foreign exchange risk through forward purchases of currency corresponding to budget estimates for purchases of goods.

Foreign exchange hedges are recorded at fair value, with the effective portion of gains and losses taken to equity and the ineffective portion of gains and losses taken to profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39. Current borrowings do not therefore include all commitments resulting from transactions hedging foreign currency purchases of goods but only any related unrealized exchange gains or losses.

The balance sheet accounts impacted by these transaction are presented in Notes 15 and 18.

 

4.16. Trade payables and other creditors   

Trade and other payables are recognized in the amount of the cash or consideration received, that is at the transaction price. They represent financial liabilities.

 

4.17. Income tax   

Deferred taxes are recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences existing at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts as well as on unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates expected to apply during the period in which the asset will be realized or the liability settled, based on tax regulations that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

      Page 19          
   


Consolidated annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2015   LOGO

 

Deferred taxes are calculated individually for each entity and are offset when the taxes are collected by the same tax authority and concern the same tax entity.

Deferred taxes payable are recognized as income or expenditure in the Income Statement unless they relate to a transaction or event that is recognized directly in equity.

Deferred taxes are presented on separate lines of the Balance Sheet under non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.

 

4.18. Revenue   

Sales are recognized at the date of transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, generally evidenced by the delivery of the goods.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in accordance with IAS 18, equal to the amount of cash or cash equivalents received or receivable, net of any trade discounts or volume rebates.

 

4.19. Current operating income   

The income statement format used by the Group employs a classification by expense.

Current operating income is equal to the difference between pre-tax income and expenses other than:

  -

other income and expenses;

 

  -

financial items;

 

  -

net income of associates;

 

  -

income or losses from discontinued operations or assets held for sale.

Any “Employee statutory profit-sharing” is included in the employee benefits expense.

Net operating income is equal to current operating income adjusted for other income and expenses that are unusual in nature or occur rarely and particularly:

 

  -

impairment of goodwill and non-current assets;

 

  -

significant restructuring expenses, or expenses related to adjustments to headcount as a result of major events or decisions;

 

  -

capital gains or losses on disposals of non-current assets;

 

  -

significant income and expenses resulting from litigation.

4.20. Earnings per share   

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing Group consolidated net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

4.21. Operating segments   

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services (business segment) and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.

The Group has a single business segment.

The geographic segments adopted by Robopolis for secondary reporting purposes reflect customer invoicing addresses.

Segment assets are the non-current and current assets used by a segment. Any assets not allocated to a segment are presented on the line “Unallocated assets”.

Segment liabilities are those liabilities that result from the activities of a segment and that either are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. They include non-current and current liabilities. Any liabilities not allocated to a segment are presented on the line “Unallocated liabilities”.

IFRS 8 on segment reporting, which entered into mandatory effect for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, only requires one level of segment reporting. A breakdown by geographic region is therefore no longer presented.

The Group operates exclusively in the euro zone. Its subsidiaries are located in Spain, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.

Note 5. MAJOR EVENTS OF THE PERIOD

In May 2015, Robopolis SAS created a wholly-owned distribution subsidiary in Austria. This region was previously covered by the Group’s German subsidiary.

Robopolis SAS performed a share capital increase for cash reserved for Group operating management. 16,200 shares were created and issued at a price of 110 each, representing a total of 1,782,000, in accordance with the deliberations of the shareholders’ meeting of December 31, 2014.

There were no other major events during the period.

Note 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At the beginning of 2016 Robopolis decided to go direct on the Austrian Market through its subsidiary Robopolis Austria GMBH.

In May 2016 Robopolis established a new 100 % subsidiary in Portugal and launched the direct activity at the end of June 2016. The company’s development also involved a number of asset disposals.

On December 31, 2016, Robopolis SAS purchased 46,728 of its own shares at a unit price of €334,409 per share, in order to cancel them. The consideration was settled partly in cash and partly via vendor credit.

The contract dated December 5, 2012 for the acquisition of 90% of the share capital of the subsidiary, Asimotion, included an option for the purchase by the Company of the remaining 10% of shares by December 31, 2017 at the latest. This share purchase transaction was completed and validated by a decision of the Board of Directors on March 16, 2017.

All the decisions approved by the General Assembly of Shareholders dated December 13, 2016 were fully performed including the payment in anticipation of all the Seller’s financing arrangements.

On July 25, 2017 Robopolis’ shareholders signed a Shares Purchase Agreement with iRrobot, a US company being its main supplier and partner in order to sell 100% of the shares. The final closing is planned on October 2, 2017.

On August 31, 2017, the Robopolis SAS purchased 1 850 of its own shares at a unit price of € 496,569 per share in order to cancel them as per the decision of the General Assembly dated July 13, 2017. The consideration was settled fully in cash.

As part of the SPA conditions, Robopolis SAS has to sell all hedging positions before the closing.

As of today, ROBOPOLIS sold a third of the related position and plan to sell all remaining positions before the end of the month, as requested by the SPA. The total estimated costs for Robopolis to sell all hedging position is approximately 5 million Euros.

  -

the payment in 2015 of the dividend distribution decided in 2014;

 

  -

see Note 4.15.

Note 20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management is based on specific risk strategies for interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and credit risks.

Foreign exchange risk

See Note 4.15

Interest rate risk

The Group is generally only exposed to very limited interest rate risk. Group management does not therefore consider it necessary to implement a hedging strategy to mitigate or neutralize this risk.

Liquidity risk

The Group could be exposed to liquidity risk if all available import credit facilities are used. Assessed with respect to the Group’s financial structure, liquidity risk is considered non-existent at the reporting date.

Credit risk

In the majority of cases, sales are performed subject to a retention of ownership clause.

The credit risk is relatively low.

The Group considers that the accounting value of all financial assets and liabilities may be deemed the most representative of market value.
