Toimintaympäristö
Func Food Group markets and distributes nutritional supplements, super food products, beverages and clothing that support sport activities and healthy living in Finland and Sweden. The Group also started operations in Norway at the end of 2017. The operation is based on the sale of the FAST, CocoVi, Fitfarm, Celsius and Freddy brands.
The general financial situation of the financial year in Finland improved compared to the previous year, and the consumers’ trust in the economy was at a high level. The FAST and Fitfarm sports nutrition brands were still in leading positions in their product categories, although new competitors entered the market. Out of the nutritional supplements category, bars increased the most. CocoVi brand lost position in the superfoods category. Work to develop the Celsius beverage brand continued also in the Finnish market.
In Sweden, the economy and consumers’ trust also developed positively. Healthy living and sports trends supported the business operations of the Company. The strong growth of functional beverages recorded in recent years continued and Celsius retained its position in the category. New competitors and drink options continued to enter the marker, although the life time of several novelties has remained short. The sales of Celsius beverages developed in a positive manner, particularly during the first half of the year, but during second half sales decreased due to cycling of big launches from previous year. The sales of the FAST brand increased and bars gained steadily market position. Freddy’s operation was moved to a new party at end of the year, the Company will only focus on selling the remaining stock during year 2019.
Financial position and performance of the Company and the development of its operations
The Group’s key financial indicators have developed as shown in the following table (IFRS):
| Key financial indicators | 1.1.-31.12.2018 | 1.1.-31.12.2017 | 1.1.-31.12.2016 | |||||||||
| Revenue (EUR000) | 33 027,8 | 40 085,3 | 39 965,3 | |||||||||

*Profit for the year / equity (quarterly average during the financial year); not presented as both equity and profit for the year are negative
**Equity/(total assets - advances received)
Sales decline in Finland resulted from decreasing sales of CocoVi and FitFarm brands; in Sweden worse than expected success of new launches for Celsius brand, and cycling of succesful previous year launches. FAST brand’s sales decreased by 12 % and Celsius brand by 15 % vs previous year. One third of Celsius sales decline resulted from currency translation differences. Company’s decision to discontinue private label sales still affected somewhat to net revenue decline.
The Company’s operating profit decreased EUR 10.5 million vs previous year. Operating profit decreased mainly due to lower net revenue and impairment of EUR 7.7 million done in goodwill and partially in customer relationships
Func Food Group Oyj booked an impairment of EUR 18.5 million to subsidiary shares due to lowered management estimate for future profit expectations.
Going concern principle
The consolidated financial statements of Func Food Group Oyj have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle. Group’s bond is due at 26th June 2019, but Group has been in event of default since 26th March 2019 due to non-payment of bond coupon interest. A standstill period has been agreed with bondholders to enable finalizing of on-going acquisitions negotiations with potential buyer. Ownership of the Group is expected to change as a result of the negotiations without remarkable effect on business operations. Both bondholders and shareholders are expected to benefit from the deal. However there is a risk that ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen with standstill period. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. Management estimates that in both cases going concern and financing for operations is valid, biggest change will happen in ownership of the Group. Management also estimates the business operations to continue as normal despite any ownership changes. Management sees that financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle. Risks related to going concern have been described in section Assessment of operational risks and uncertainties.

Material events during the financial year
The bondholders of the Group approved changes to the bond terms on January 15 2018. The Group had proposed that Func Food Sweden Ab may convert up to 10.0 million euros of the originally 33.1 million, and at year-end 23.1 million euros of intra-group loan granted by Func Food Group Oyj into an equity instrument. The Group had also proposed that the planned bond repayment of 4.5 million euros can be omitted in September 2018. At the same time, the Group proposed an increase in the amount of permitted financial leasing debt and a permission to use recourse factoring arrangements with large retail customers, where the credit risk remains with the Group. The Group also proposed changes to the bond terms in relation to discontinuing the Freddy business operations and the possible merger of Finnish subsidiaries.
As a condition for the implementation of the changes, the Group arranged 3.0 million euros of additional funding from its shareholders between November 2017 and January 2018.
The Group arranged 0.8 million euros of additional funding from its shareholders at end of September and another 0.4 million euros of at the end of October.
The Group announced a reorganisation of business activities on February 19, 2018 and started co-operation negotiations for Func Food Finland Oy, which ended on March 12, 2018. As a result of the negotiations, the job duties of ten employees ended or changed, and the Group closed its office in Tampere at end of Q2 2018. The Group announced another reorganization of business activities on November 1, 2018. Func Food Group Oyj and Func Food Finland Oy started co-operation negotiations, which ended on November 20, 2018. As a result of the reorganization, the job duties of five employees ended or changed.
The Group has amended the distribution agreement with Freddy SPA to move the distribution to a new partner on 1 January 2019. Current inventory of Freddy Store AB will be sold until end of September 2019.
Impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets and subsidiary shares was done in January to evaluate changed medium- and long-term outlook. Cash generating unit (CGU) Finland’s future outlook for Cocovi and FitFarm brands changed materially during Q4 2018. This together with continuing transformation of the overall Finnish portfolio has led to an impairment of 7.7 million euros in Finland CGU. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in consolidated statements have been adjusted correspondingly. Parent company’s holdings in Finnish subsidiaries were decreased by the same amount. The Group is constantly evaluating its outlook based on best estimates and how it reflects in the impairment testing.

Personnel
During the financial year, the Group had an average of 68 (2017: 73) employees. The number of employees was affected by the restructurings done in Finland Sweden, and the co-operation negotiations related to those. The salaries and fees for the accounting period were EUR 3.8 (2017 3.7) million.
Research and development

Environmental protection
In all of its activities, the Company seeks to find solutions that are environmentally sustainable and satisfy all regulatory requirements on environmental protection. In practice, however, as the Company is mainly a sales and marketing organisation, the bulk of activities conducive to environmental protection take place in the supplier chains that Func Food Group Oyj strives to actively monitor.

Assessment of operational risks and uncertainties
The Group has significant uncertainty factors relating to the continuity of its operations. Uncertainty relates to the Group’s financing and liquidity. Group’s bond is due at 26th June 2019, but Group has been in event of default since 26th March 2019 due to non-payment of bond coupon interest. A standstill period has been agreed with bondholders to enable finalizing of on-going acquisitions negotiations with potential buyer. However there is a risk that ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen with standstill period. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. Many factors affect the end result of the process, incl. Company’s financial position, resulting in risk for going concern.
The main liquidity risks of the Group are related to the interest and repayment schedules and financing for liabilities, the periodic fluctuation of product sales during the year, the concentration of purchases for certain products in a few months during the year, and the amount of working capital needed. Group also has considerable amount of overdue accounts payables and due to tight liquidity payment plans have been and will be negotiated with suppliers.
The Company’s strategic risks are e.g. dependancy of certain customers with strong position in price negotiations. Other possible strategic risks are changes in competition in the markets and geographical areas company operates, and changes in customer preferences.
Current operational risks for the Group consist of the operation’s ability to generate more revenue in its main and emerging markets. Other operations risks are e.g. dependancy of skilled personnel, interference in supply chain and price fluctuations of raw material and other production factors.
The key objective of the Group’s financial risk management activities is to identify and measure the overall risk position resulting from the Group’s financial activities, and implement risk management measures ensuring that the overall financial risks do not exceed the Group’s risk-bearing capacity and risk-taking willingness. The interest rate risk of the Company is affected by the fact that most of the Group’s debt has a floating interest rate. The main liquidity risks of the Group are related to the interest and repayment schedules and financing for liabilities, the periodic fluctuation of product sales during the year, the concentration of purchases of certain products to a few months during the year, and the amount of working capital needed. In order to ensure liquidity, the Group uses trade receivable financing arrangements and constantly strives to improve working capital management by negotiating, for instance, sufficiently long payment terms with suppliers and by optimising the size of inventories. The Company has not used hedging instruments to manage its financing risks during the accounting period.
The Group has credit risks due to the concentration of sales to a few large retail chains, but the probability that the credit risk of these customers materialises is very small. The credit risk concentrations of other customers are minor due to the Group’s large number of small customers and the fact that the average amount due is small.
The Group operates internationally and therefore faces transaction risks arising from various currency positions and risks that arise when investments, receivables and liabilities in various currencies are translated into the parent company’s functional currency. The main currencies for the Group in terms of procurement are the US dollar (USD), the Swedish krona (SEK) and the British pound (GBP). Also, the SEK/EUR ratio has a major impact on the profit reported by the Group when receivables from and liabilities to the Swedish subsidiaries are translated into the parent company’s functional currency. The risk related to the SEK/EUR currency pair is increased partly by the fact that all of the Group’s external liabilities are euro-denominated, but a major part of its income is krona-denominated. So far the Group has not used hedging instruments to manage its currency risks, but it is actively investigating open foreign currency positions and related hedging needs and possibilities.
The Company has partial insurance coverage against interruptions in production. In addition, the Company has seeked protection against damages and accidents through e.g. product liability, operations liability, legal process, and property insurances.
Material events subsequent to the end of the financial year
People’s Choice AB has received penalty fee decision from Swedish tax office regarding incorrect 2016 tax form submission. Penalty fee is MEUR 0.4. People’s Choice has made an appeal to amend the penalty fee in to proportional level compared to the error. Decision is expected during Q1 2019 and appeal process will continue if needed. The fee has been fully accrued in tax expenses in Q4 result.
The Group started on December 20, 2018 a written procedure for waiving December 2018 bond coupon. Process was completed successfully on January 23, 2019 and amended terms including waiving the bond coupon retroactively became effective on the same date.
The company has been in event of default after non-payment of bond coupon interest at 26th March 2019. Standstill agreement has been made with bondholders, which enables to continue acquisitions negoations with potential buyers until agreed date. Date can be extended if needed. If the negotiations are not successful then bondholders will start a written procedure process during which shareholders and bondholders negotiate changes in ownership structure.
Outlook for future developments
The revenue of the Group is expected to increase moderately over the next accounting period, both in Finland and in Sweden. In addition, the business operations initiated in Norway are expected to provide a slight increase in revenue. The profit is also expected to improve compared to previous year.
Proposal of the Board of Directors for the distribution of profit
The parent company’s financial statements showed a loss of EUR 19.9 million. The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid and that the loss for the period be credited to the retained earnings account.

Accounting policies applied in the preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), observing the IAS and IFRS standards as well as SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on 31.12.2018. International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the standards and their interpretations approved for application in the EU in accordance with the procedure stipulated in EU regulation (EU) no. 1606/2002 and embodied in Finnish accounting legislation and the statutes enacted under it. The notes to the consolidated financial statements also comply with the Finnish accounting and corporate legislation, complementing the IFRS regulations.
The consolidated financial statements of Func Food Group Oyj have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle. Group’s bond is due at 26th June 2019, but Group has been in event of default since 26th March 2019 due to non-payment of bond coupon interest. A standstill period has been agreed with bondholders to enable finalizing of on-going acquisitions negotiations with potential buyer. Ownership of the Group is expected to change as a result of the negotiations without remarkable effect on business operations. Both bondholders and shareholders are expected to benefit from the deal. However there is a risk that ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen with standstill period. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. Management estimates that in both cases going concern and financing for operations is valid, biggest change will happen in ownership of the Group. Management also estimates the business operations to continue as normal despite any ownership changes. Group also has considerable amount of overdue accounts payables and due to tight liquidity payment plans have been and will be negotiated with suppliers. Management sees that financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the accounting period of 12 months from 1.1.2018 to 31.12.2018. On 28.4.2019, the Board of Directors of Func Food Group Oyj authorised the publication of the consolidated financial statements. According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is entitled to adopt, or reject the financial statements after their publication.
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Func Food Group Oyj and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refer to companies in which the Group has control. The criteria for control are fulfilled when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Mutual holdings in the Group are eliminated using the purchase method. Purchase consideration and the individualised assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date. The costs related to the acquisition, with the exception of costs arising from the issue of equity or debt securities, are recorded as expenses. The purchase consideration does not include business operations that are treated separately from the acquisition. They are usually recognised in profit or loss. Any additional contingent purchase price is measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and is classified as a liability. Additional purchase price classified as a liability is measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, and the resulting gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss. Additional purchase price classified as equity will not be re-measured. Any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity are measured either at fair value or at the proportionate share of non-controlling interests in the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. The principle applied in measurement is specified separately for each acquisition. The treatment of goodwill generated in conjunction with subsidiary acquisitions is described in the section “Goodwill”.
Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the time when the Group gained control, and divested subsidiaries until the time when control ceased. All intra-group transactions, receivables, debts, and unrealised profits, as well as internal distribution of profits are eliminated when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Profit or loss and all items of comprehensive income are attributable to the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests even if the share attributable to non-controlling interest would be negative as a result. Changes in the parent’s shareholding in the subsidiary which do not lead to loss of control are treated as equity-related transactions.
Use of estimates in the financial statements
When financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Group’s management must make, in its sole discretion, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements, the reporting of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amount of income and expenses. The management may also be required to use its discretion in the application of the accounting principles. The estimates are mainly related to the allocation of assets to clients, brands and goodwill subsequent to business acquisitions, impairment testing and related forecasts on the growth of business and development of the operating environment, the merchantability of inventories and the value of trade receivables, the recognition and measurement of provisions, and future tax liabilities and benefits. There are uncertainties related to the operating environment which may prevent the estimates from coming true. The main uncertainties concern the future development of consumers’ purchase patterns and preferences, the changes in various product categories and related competitive situation, and the possibilities of extending the company’s operation to other products and new markets.
Associated companies and joint arrangements
There were no associated companies or joint ventures in the Group during the accounting periods of 2017-2018.

Translation of foreign currency items
Figures indicating the performance and financial position of the Group entities are specified in the currency of the economic operating environment in which the entity primarily operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the parent company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Any transactions in foreign currencies have been recognised in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. In practice, it is customary to use a rate that is close enough to the transaction day rate. Monetary foreign currency items are translated into the functional currency using the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary foreign currency items measured at their fair value are translated into the functional currency using the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. In other respects non-monetary items are measured at the rates prevailing at the transaction date.
Exchange rate gains and losses arising from foreign-currency transactions and the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange rate gains and losses on business transactions are included in the respective items above operating profit. Exchange rate gains and losses on loans denoted in foreign currencies are included in finance income and expenses, except for gains and losses arising from loans which de facto are part of the Group’s net investment in the foreign entity. These exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income items and the cumulative amount of the exchange differences is presented as a separate equity item until the foreign operation is partially or totally disposed of.
Translation of the financial statements of foreign Group companies
The income and expense items in the comprehensive income statements and separate income statements of foreign Group companies have been translated into euros at the average exchange rate of the month. All assets and liabilities of foreign Group companies are translated into euros using the exchange rates of the last day of the year. Differences that arise from translating income and expense using average rates and assets and liabilities using the rate of the ending date are recognised in equity, as translation differences in other comprehensive income. Income-related items are not translated using the exchange rate of the day they were materialized. Translation differences arising from the elimination of the acquisition price of foreign subsidiaries and from the translation differences in equity items since the acquisition date, as well as the change in the spot value of a currency forward that hedges net investments are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a subsidiary is sold wholly or partially, translation differences are recognised in the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity. They are translated into euro at the closing rate.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item of PPE. The cost for self-constructed assets include material costs, directly attributable employee benefit costs and other direct costs arising from making the item complete for its intended purpose. Borrowing costs immediately arising from the acquisition, construction or manufacture of qualifying fixed assets are capitalised as part of the asset’s acquisition cost.
In the event that an item of PPE comprises several components with different useful lives, each component is recognised as a separate item. Any replacement costs are capitalised and the remaining carrying value at the date of replacement is derecognised.
Costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of or service an item of PPE are included in the item’s carrying value only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Costs of servicing, i.e. repair and maintenance costs, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Items are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Machinery and equipment | 3-10 years | |
| Motor vehicles | 3-10 years |
The item’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, when necessary, to reflect changes in expected economic benefits.
Depreciation of an item of PPE begins when it is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation will cease when an item of PPE is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Gains and losses arising from the decommissioning and sale of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss under other operating income or expenses. The gain or loss on sale is defined as the difference between the selling price and the remaining acquisition cost.

Government grants
The Group has not received government grants during the financial years 2017 and 2018.
Intangible assets
Goodwill
controlling interests in the acquired entity and the purchaser’s previously held share in the entity exceed the fair value of the net assets acquired.
Goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. Goodwill is recognised at historical cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Research and development
Research costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss. The Group has no capitalised development costs in 2017-2018.
Depreciation will start when the asset is available for use. An asset that is not yet available for use is tested annually for impairment. Capitalised development costs are recognised at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. The useful life of capitalised development costs is 3 to 10 years, during which time the capitalised expenditure will be recognised as expenses by straight-line depreciation.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost if the cost of the item can be measured reliably and it is likely that expected future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group.
Intangible assets with a limited useful life are recognised as an expense using straight-line depreciation during their known or estimated useful life. Intangible assets which have an indefinite useful life are not amortised but tested annually for impairment. The Group has brands with an indefinite estimated useful life.
The depreciation of intangible assets with a definite useful life are as follows:
| Customer contracts and related customer relationships | 5 to 10 years | |
| Brands | 10 to 20 years |
The Group has depreciable brands and those with an indefinite estimated useful life. The high recognition of certain brands and conducted market research support the view of management that those brands will affect cash flow generation for an indefinite period of time.
The item’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, when necessary, to reflect changes in expected economic benefits.
Depreciation of an intangible asset begins when it is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation will cease when an intangible asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of an acquired asset comprises all costs of purchase including transport, handling and other direct expenses. The cost of self-produced finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour expenses, other direct expenses, and a systematically allocated share of fixed and variable production overheads based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Cost excludes borrowing costs. The net realisable value is the sales price expected to be received on them in the normal course of business less the estimated costs necessary to bring the product to completion and the costs of selling.
Page 11
Leases
The Group as lessee
Leases of property, plant and equipment (PPE) where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Items acquired under finance leases are recognised, when the lease commences, in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset measured at the lease date and the present value of the minimum lease payment. Items acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. Lease payments are divided into finance expenses and debt amortisation during the lease period, so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Variable leases are recognised as expenses during the periods in which they are incurred. Leasing commitments are included in financial liabilities.
Leases where the lessor retains a substantial part of the risks and benefits of ownership are treated as other leases. Payments made under other lease agreements are recognised as expenses in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the duration of the lease period. Incentives received are deducted from the paid lease payments on the basis of the time pattern of the benefit.
Arrangements which may contain a lease
At the outset of the arrangement the Group assesses, on the basis of the substance of the agreement, whether the arrangement is a lease or whether it contains a lease. A lease is considered to exist if the following conditions are met:
| - | 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. |
If the arrangement includes a lease, the agreement will be governed by the provisions of IAS 17, “Leases”. Other factors in the arrangement will be governed by the provisions of applicable IFRS standards.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group makes an assessment of whether there are any indications of asset impairment. If any such indications exist the recoverable amount of the respective asset is measured. Regardless of any indications of impairment the recoverable amount is also measured annually for the following items: goodwill, intangible assets (brands) with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets under construction. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. The need for impairment is reviewed at the level of a cash-generating unit, defined as the lowest level of unit that is mainly independent of other units and whose cash flows are separable from and largely independent of the cash flows of other similar units. A cash-generating unit represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Assets that are common to the entire Group, serve several cash-generating units and do not generate a separate cash flow, are allocated to cash-generating units in a reasonable and coherent manner and are tested as part of each cash-generating unit. As a result of the acquisitions carried out in 2014 and 2015, the Group has specified two separate cash generating units, CGU Finland and CGU Sweden. The carrying values of these cash generating units were tested by means of test calculations. The Group also separately tests the carrying values of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Impairment tests for the cash generating units is carried out by using the Discounted Cash Flow method and for intangible assets with an indefinite useful life by using the Relief from Royalty method. The tests are in line with the executive management’s views on the future development of business and the operating enviroment, as well as the specified discount rate. Sensitivity analyses are carried out in connection with impairment tests. The nature of the Group’s intangible assets and carrying amounts are presented on page 18. The impairment tests are presented on page 18-19.
The recoverable amount is the fair value of the asset less the costs incurred by the sale or the value-in-use, whichever is greater. Value-in-use refers to the expected discounted future net cash flow to be derived from the cash-generating unit. The discount rate is a post-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recorded when the carrying value of an asset is greater than its recoverable amount. Impairment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Impairment losses attributable to a cash-generating unit are used for deducting first the goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and, thereafter, the other assets of the unit on an equal basis. The useful life of an asset subject to depreciation is reassessed when the impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. However, the reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset had no impairment loss been recognised. An impairment loss recorded for goodwill cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Pension plans
Pension security for the Group’s personnel is provided through arrangements with external insurance companies and the pension costs are recognised as an expense in the year they are incurred. The Group uses only defined contribution plans in which the annual pension insurance contribution paid by the company is also the final expense.
Page 12
Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or actual obligation as the result of a past event, it is likely that the payment obligation will be realised and the magnitude of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money at the time of review and the risks involved in the obligation. If a reimbursement can be obtained from a third party for part of the obligation, the reimbursement is treated as a separate asset when the reimbursement is practically certain. Provision amounts are assessed at each reporting date and adjusted to correspond with the best estimate at the time of review. Any adjustments to provisions are recorded in the income statement under the same item where the provision was originally recorded. Increase in provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
A contingent liability is an obligation that may arise as a result of earlier events and whose existence will be confirmed only if an uncertain event outside the control of the Group is realized. A contingent liability can also be viewed as an existing payment obligation which probably does not require fulfilment or whose magnitude cannot be reliably determined. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes.
Income taxes for the year and deferred taxes
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it directly relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity. In such cases, tax is also recognised in the relevant items. Current tax is determined for the taxable profit for the period according to the tax rate that has been enacted or substantively enacted in each country by the date of the financial statements. Tax receivable and liability related to the taxes for the period are netted if and only when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the tax items and the Group will either effect the tax payment on a net basis or realize the tax receivable and pay the tax liability simultaneously.
Deferred taxes are calculated from temporary differences between the carrying value and the taxable amount. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or if they arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for investments made in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Major temporary differences in the Group arise from the depreciation of property, plant and equipment, unused tax losses, and the adjustments to fair value during the acquisition of business operations.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the tax rate or tax rates which have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. However, a deferred income tax asset is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income. Recognition of deferred tax assets is always assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset in the Group if and only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax asset and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to set off deferred income tax assets and liabilities or realize the tax receivable and pay the tax liability simultaneously over such future period during which a significant amount of deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be paid or a significant amount of deferred income tax assets are expected to be deducted.
Revenue recognition
Func Food Group sells fitness and lifestyle supporting nutrition, superfoods, energy drinks and clothing in Finland, Sweden and Norway. Group has also small amount of export main to Estonia, which is shown under Finland. Revenue is recognised on the value that the group expects to receive against the delivered products. Group’s revenue mainly consists of sales central corporations. Revenue recognised when the ownership is changed to the central corporation, which then controls and receives the benefits related to the products. Recognised revenue takes into consideration compensations like discounts. Ownership of the product is generally considered to transfer after delivery.
Goods and services sold
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the major risks, rewards and actual control incidental to ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer. This occurs normally at the time of transfer of the goods in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.
Interest and dividends
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised when right to dividends has been established.
Page 13
Financial derivatives
Derivative contracts are initially carried at fair value at the date on which the Group became a party to the contract, and are subsequently measured at fair value. A change in the fair value of hedging instruments is immediately recognised in profit or loss under finance income and expenses. The Group does not have any derivative contracts.
Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification of financial assets takes place at initial recognition and depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.
Transaction costs are included in the original carrying value for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, being the date when the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets are derecognised from the balance sheet when the Group has lost the contractual right to the cash flows or when the Group has transferred a substantial portion of the risks and income outside the Group.
Financial assets at amortised costs - category includes financial assets that are held until due date to collect contractual cashflows. Cashflow for these items include only capital and accrued interests. Trade receivables and other receivables, which are not derivative contracts, are classified under financial assets at amortised costs. Book value and fair value for short-term trade receivables and other receivables are considered as the same. Trade receivables and othe receivables are presented in balance sheet as short-term assets if they mature within next 12 months from the balance sheet day. After original valuation these financial assets are amortised at costs based on effective intererest method and deducting possible impairment.
Group recognises accrual for estimated credit losses as deducting the financial assets amortised at costs. Estimated credit losses are shown in other operating expenses. Impairment losses are also recognised in other operating expenses. Estimated credit losses for trade receivables are evaluated by a simplified method in IFRS 9. Credit losses are recognised as amount that acknowledges the whole period of validity for expected losses. Estimated credit losses are valued based on historical information of actual credit losses and the model also takes into consideration all information available for future financial situation.
Group recognises impairment of receivables if there is objective proof of customer’s financial troubles or payments are overdue. Proof includes debtor’s considerable financial troubles, probability of bankcrupcy, delay of payments for over 90 days. If there exists such proof, then the recognised impairment is calculated as difference between the book value of receivables and net present value of effective interest rate discounted future cashflows. If the value of impairment decreases in a later period and the reduction can be objectively seen as change for the original recognition, then the recognised loss will be reserved.
Financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss -category includes financial assets acquired to be held for trading or designated as such at inception (“fair value option”). Financial assets acquired to be held are acquired mainly for profit-making in short-term or long-term, and they are presented in either short-term or long-term financial assets.
Fair value changes resulting in realised and unrealised profit of loss will be recognised. If the investments don’t have listed values, then group will apply various valuation methods. Unlisted shares will be valued at purchase price or any other lower transfer price. Group does not have at balance sheet day any financial assets recognised at fair value.
The fair value determination principles for financial assets are presented on pages 30-31 under “Fair value of financial assets and liabilities”.
Cash and cash equivalents
Financial assets consist of cash on hand, bank deposits available for withdrawal on demand, and other highly liquid short-term investments.
Page 14
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group evaluates whether there is objective evidence of impairment with regard to an individual financial asset or a group of financial assets. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the recognition of the asset.
If the fair value of an equity investment classified as an available-for-sale financial asset is significantly below the acquisition cost over a period of time determined by the Group, this indicates an impairment of the investment. If there is proof of impairment, the loss in the fair value reserve is transferred into an item recognizable in profit or loss. Impairment losses on shares classified as available-for-sale financial assets are not reversed in profit or loss, as is the case with impairment losses recognised on fixed-income instruments that are subsequently reversed.
Objective evidence of the impairment of loans and other receivables, such as trade receivables, as well as investments held to maturity, include significant financial difficulties on the part of a debtor, the likelihood of bankruptcy, payment default or a payment delay exceeding 90 days. If there is such evidence, the impairment loss recognised in profit or loss is the difference measured between the carrying value and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the recognised loss shall be reversed in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and borrowing costs
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Financial liabilities are subsequently, with the exception of derivative contract liabilities, carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Transaction costs associated with financial liabilities are included in the initial measurement at fair value. Transaction costs related to derivatives are recognised as an immediate expense. Financial liabilities are included in non-current and current liabilities. Financial liabilities are classified as current if the Group has no unconditional right to postpone repayment of the debt for at least 12 months from end of the reporting period. Derivative financial liabilities that are subject to hedge accounting are classified according to the hedged item.
Credit fees related to loan commitments are handled as transaction costs to the extent that it is probable that the entire loan commitment or part thereof will be drawn. The fee is then recognised on the balance sheet until the loan is drawn. In connection with the drawdown, the credit fee related to loan commitments is recognised as part of the transaction costs. To the extent that it is probable that the loan commitment will not be drawn, the credit fee is recognised as a prepaid expense in respect of the liquidity-related services and is accrued for the period of the loan commitment.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or manufacture of an asset satisfying general and specific conditions are capitalised as a part of the cost of the said asset when it is likely that these will generate future economic benefits and when the costs can be measured reliably. Capitalisation ceases when the asset is substantially ready for the intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
The fair value of the outstanding debt of a convertible loan is determined using the market rate of a corresponding liability at the time of issue. The outstanding debt is amortised at cost until it is extinguished by converting the loan into shares or through repayment. The residue of the received amount, or the share of shareholders’ equity less related taxes, has been recognised in the invested non-restricted equity reserve.
The fair value determination principles for all financial liabilities are presented on pages 30-31 under “Fair value of financial assets and liabilities”.
Equity
The Group classifies the instruments it has issued in either equity or liabilities (financial liabilities) based on their nature. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Expenses related to the issuance or acquisition of equity instruments are presented as a deduction from equity. If the Company repurchases any equity instruments, the acquisition cost of such instruments is deducted from equity.
Operating profit
The IAS 1 standard, “Presentation of financial statements”, does not define the concept of operating profit. The Group has defined it as follows: Operating profit is the net amount derived by adding to revenue other operating income, less used materials and goods adjusted with the change in inventories of finished goods and work in progress as well as expenses from production for own use, less costs from employee benefits, depreciation and possible impairment losses, and other operating expenses. All other items of the income statement are presented below operating profit. Exchange differences and changes in the fair values of derivatives are included in operating profit, provided that they arise from items related to business operations. Otherwise, they are recognised in financial items.

New standards implemented IFRS 9 ja IFRS 15
IFRS, financial instruments, has been implemented 1st January 2018. In accordance with IFRS9 transition rule comparison numbers have not been adjusted. In Func Food Group standard mostly affects modelling of estimated future credit losses and the impairments related to those. Group has done in financial year 2018 credit loss accrual as % of revenue. Percentage has been calculated as average of actuals from several previous financial periods.
IFRS, revenue from contracts with customers, has been implemented 1st January 2018. Standard did not significantly change the principles of identifying customer contracts, performance obligations, defining contract prices and revenue recognition under performance obligation. Standard did not have significant effect on financial accounts. Standard has been implemented retroactively from the beginning of comparison period. The Group continues to report its revenue by brand and by country of operation.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has announced the following new or amended standards and interpretations, which the Group has not yet adopted. The Group will apply each standard and interpretation as of its effective date or, if the effective date is some other date than the first day of the accounting period, as of the beginning of the accounting period following the effective date.
IFRS 16, “Leases”: According to IFRS 16, all leases are presented in the lessee’s statement of financial position. The lessee shall recognise a user right item in the statement of financial position based on its right to use the relevant asset, as well as a lease liability based on the obligation to pay lease payments. The standard includes current agreements and voluntary reliefs prepared for low value items. The Group has done a preliminary assessment of the IFRS 16 standard’s impacts on the financial statements, EBITDA effect is EUR 0.1 million and leases shown in balance sheet amount to EUR 0.2 million. One impact is that the Group shall recognise new financial assets and liabilities in the statement of finacial position, which are mainly facilities with the existing leases. In addition, the nature of the costs related to such leases shall change, because the leases cost is replaced with the depreciation of the item and the interest expense caused by the lease liability, which shall be reported as part of finance liabilities. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1.1.2019.
There are no other IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Allocation of goodwill
Func Food Group’s business idea is to provide consumers with products related to active living and health. The Company evaluates its profitability within a single segment that covers the entire Group. Func Food Group’s business model, the nature of its operation, and the administrative structure support this solution. Within the segment, goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGU). As a result of the acquisitions carried out in 2014 and 2015, the Group has two cash generating units, CGU Finland and CGU Sweden. CGU Finland includes the brands and goodwill obtained by the Group with the acquisitions carried out in Finland, as well as their utilisation. Therefore the sales of FAST or CocoVi brands, for example, are included in CGU Finland regardless of whether the sale takes place in Finland or another country. Likewise CGU Sweden includes the brands and goodwill obtained by the Group with an acquisition carried out in Sweden, as well as their utilisation. For example, the sales of Celsius beverages is considered to be part of CGU Sweden regardless of in which country the sales take place. The allocation of goodwill (carrying values) to CGUs has been summarised in the table below. CGU Finland has one brand, FAST, with an indefinite estimated useful life. The high recognition of the brand and conducted market research support the view of management that the brand will affect cash flow generation for an indefinite period of time. The carrying value of the FAST brand has been presented in the table below.

Impairment testing
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are determined by calculations based on value-in-use by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the Discounted Cash Flow method. Impairment testing is carried out to determine whether the carrying amount is fully recoverable whenever there are indications of impairment, but at least once a year. The future cash flow estimates used to test impairment are based on financial plans approved by the management for individual CGUs. The cash flow estimates used are based on the financial plans for the next five years. In impairment testing, the cash flow for subsequent years is estimated to increase by 2% per year (terminal growth rate), which is close to the estimated long-term inflation rate. The discount rates used in calculations are based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) which reflects the market view of the time value of money and the risks related to the business of Func Food Group.
The value of intangibles assets with an indefinite useful life (trademarks) is based on calculations of savings in royalties, when brands do not need to be licensed by third parties. In the calculations the saved royalties are discounted at a rate which is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) which reflects the market view of the time value of money and the risks related to the business of Func Food Group. The achieved savings are compared with the trademarks’ carrying values. Impairment testing is carried out to determine whether the carrying amount is fully recoverable whenever there are indications of impairment, but at least once a year. The future cash flow estimates used to test impairment are based on financial plans approved by the management for individual trademarks. The cash flow estimates used are based on the financial plans for the next five years. In impairment testing, the cash flow for subsequent years is estimated to increase by 2% per year (terminal growth rate), which is close to the estimated long-term inflation rate.
The business growth assumptions used in the cash flow estimates for individual CGUs and the assumptions concerning price and cost developments are based on management views on the development of demand and markets which are compared with external sources of information. The productivity and efficiency assumptions used in the calculations are based on internal objectives which account for previous actual development. The parameters of the risk-free interest rate, risk factor (beta) and risk premium used to determine the discount rate are based on information available on the markets.
CGU Finland 2018: Management updated their estimates for net revenue and cashflow for year 2019-2023. Key change is related to lowering the sales outlook of CocoVi products in Finland and Sweden. In addition FitFarm sales trend has been updated to steadily declining. For FAST brand portfolio restructuring in Finland and Sweden will slow down next few years’ growth, and FAST expansion countries sales outlook has also been decreased. Cost structure has been streamlined in beginning of 2019 to balance out the lower sales outlook, and this will affect also positivitely costs for coming years. As conclusion CGU Finland’s discounted estimated future cash flows (enterprise value) were EUR 9.6 million and therefore impairment of EUR 7.7 million was done in goodwill and partially in customer relationships. Impairment is shown as separate line item in income statement.
CGU Sweden 2018: No impairment losses were recognised in the income statement on the basis of impairment tests in 2018. According to the tests, the recoverable amount for CGU Sweden exceeded the carrying value by approximately 18 million euros.
No impairment losses were recognised in the income statement on the basis of impairment tests in 2017. According to the tests, the recoverable amount for CGU Finland and CGU Sweden together exceeded the carrying value by approximately 20 million euros.
Sensitivity analyses based on changes in the growth rate and the discount rate.
FUNC FOOD
CGU Finland 2018: the revenue was estimated to increase to EUR 25 million by the end of 2023 (CAGR +15%) considering the sales of FAST and CocoVi brands in Finland and the development of export activities. Approximately four-fifths of the increased revenue during the review period was estimated to come from the sales of FAST and CocoVi products in Sweden and other countries outside Finland. The terminal growth rate was estimated at 2% p.a. with WACC at 11.16%. The value-in-use would fall below the carrying value if the following changes were to take place in the forecast parameters while other assumptions remained unchanged:
| - | The discount rate would rise by 0.5 percentage points and terminal growth drop by 1.0 percentage points; or |
| - | The growth in revenue (CAGR) in the forecasting period would drop by 3,5 percentage points vs. the estimate, i.e. CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) would be 11,5% and revenue would be 21.4 million euros in 2023. |
CGU Sweden 2018: the revenue was estimated to increase to EUR 67 million by the end of 2023 (CAGR +26%) considering the sales of the Celsius brand in Sweden and in other markets and the sales of the Freddy brand in Sweden. Approximately four-fifths of the revenue’s increase during the review period was estimated to come from the sales of Celsius products outside Sweden. The terminal growth rate was estimated at 2% p.a. with WACC at 10.83%. The value-in-use would fall below the carrying value if the following changes were to take place in the forecast parameters while other assumptions remained unchanged:
| - | The discount rate would rise by 2.0 percentage points and terminal growth drop by 3.0 percentage points; or |
| - | The growth in revenue (CAGR) in the forecasting period would drop by 11 percentage points vs. the estimate, i.e. CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) would be 15% and revenue would be 42 million euros in 2023. |

20. Transferred financial assets
Some of the Finnish and Swedish companies in the Group have entered into a partial financing of trade receivables (the sale of trade receivables). In 2017-2018 the amount of trade receivables in accounting have been reduced as receivables have been sold, because material risks related to them have been transferred. At the end of the financial years 2017 and 2018, there were no transferred receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position that would still be recognised, and there were no corresponding secured financial liabilities.

25. Financial risk management
The main objectives of the Company’s financial activities are to procure capital, optimise capital costs and manage financial risks. The Board of Directors approves the general principles of the Group’s risk management operations, and the executive management is responsible for their practical implementation. The Group’s finances are managed by the parent company, which coordinates and controls the financial activities of the subsidiaries. The Group’s main financial risks include currency, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. The objective of the Group’s financial risk management activities is to identify and measure the overall risk position resulting from the Group’s financial activities, and implement risk management measures ensuring that the overall financial risks do not exceed the Group’s risk-bearing capacity and risk-taking willingness.
26. Currency risk
The Group operates globally and therefore faces transaction risks arising from various currency positions and risks that arise when investments, receivables and liabilities in various currencies are translated into the parent company’s functional currency. The objective of the Group’s treasury policy is to secure the profitability of operating activities by managing identified currency risks.
The main currencies used by the Group are the US dollar (USD), the Swedish krona (SEK) and the British pound (GBP). The currency pairs USD/SEK, GBP/EUR and USD/EUR are particularly important to the Group since they account for a major part of purchases by local companies not involving the functional currency. The SEK/EUR ratio, on the other hand, has a major impact on the profit reported by the Group when receivables from and liabilities to Swedish subsidiaries are translated into the parent company’s functional currency. The risk related to the SEK/EUR currency pair is increased partly by the fact that all of the Group’s external liabilities are euro-denominated, but a major part of its income is krona-denominated. So far the Group has not used hedging instruments to manage its currency risks, but it is actively investigating open foreign currency positions and related hedging needs and possibilities.
If the US dollar had been approximately 10% stronger/weaker than the Swedish krona during the financial year, the Group’s management estimates that it would have had a negative/positive impact of EUR 0.82 million (2017: EUR 0.04 million negative/positive) on the Group’s profit before tax.
If the British pound had been on average 10% stronger/weaker than the Euro during the financial year, the Group’s management estimates that it would have had a negative/positive impact of EUR 0.01 million (2017: EUR 0.04 million negative/positive) on the Group’s profit before tax.
If the US dollar had been approximately 10% stronger/weaker than the Euro during the financial year, the Group’s management estimates that it would have had a negative/positive impact of EUR 0.07 million (2017: EUR 0.05 million negative/positive) on the Group’s profit before tax.
If the Swedish krona had been approximately 10% stronger/weaker than the Euro during the financial year, the Group’s management estimates that it would have had a positive/negative impact of EUR 0.03 million (2017: EUR 0.09 million impact) on the Group’s euro-denominated profit before tax. The exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date also affects the Group’s comprehensive income and equity through translation differences of subsidiaries located in Sweden.
27. Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk mainly consists of the interest rate sensitivity of its financial items, which refers to the immediate effect of changes in interest rates on the Group’s financial items, such as interest-bearing loans, investments and derivative contracts. The interest rate risk related to the reference rates of loans is of particular importance to the Group. The majority of loans from outside the Group have a variable rate and are not interest rate hedged at the date of the financial statements. The reference rate of the Group’s variable-rate debts is 3-month Euribor, and the average interest expense is 9.0% (9.0% in 2017).
At the balance sheet date, the Group had EUR 29.6 million of variable-rate debts with a reference rate of 3-month Euribor. Sensitivity analyses show that an increase of one per cent in the interest rate will add approximately EUR 0.2 million to the Group’s interest expenses. As the reference rate is negative at the balance-sheet date, the effect of higher interest rates is diluted by the interest rate floor of the loans (it cannot be negative). The interest rate floor also means that lower reference rates do not have any effect on interest rate costs.
28. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk means that the Group’s financial assets and sources of additional funding do not cover the Group’s needs or that the acquisition of liquid assets causes expenses that are higher than market cost. The Group pays special attention to liquidity and the financing of further growth, and it aims at constantly evaluating and monitoring the financing required for running the operations in order to ensure adequate reserves of liquid funding for financing the operations and repaying loans when they become due. The main liquidity risks of the Group are related to the interest and repayment schedules and financing for liabilities, the periodic fluctuation of product sales during the year, the concentration of purchases for certain products in a few months during the year, and the amount of working capital needed. In order to ensure liquidity, the Group uses sales receivable financing arrangements and constantly strives to improve working capital management by negotiating, for instance, sufficiently long payment terms with suppliers and by optimising the size of stocks. When necessary, the liquidity of different parts of the Group are supported by intra-group loans. The Group’s liquid assets at the end of the year were EUR 0.4 million (EUR 1.3 million) and the Group’s interest-bearing loans were EUR 41.3 million (40.3). Group’s bond is due at 26th June 2019. Refinancing contains a risk. If refinancing or other ownership change is not successful, then Group will need to negotiate with bondholders about ownership restructuring.
Page 28
29. Credit risk
The Group manages the credit risk by checking the creditworthiness of its key partners at regular intervals and by actively monitoring the payment behaviour of its customers. The Group also manages the credit risk by using different terms of payment for specific markets and customers. The Group’s subsidiaries have considerable credit risk concentrations due to the concentration of sales to a few large retail chains, but the probability that the credit risk of these customers materialises is very small. The credit risk concentrations of other customers are minor due to the Group’s large number of small customers and the fact that the average amount due is small. The objective is to check the creditworthiness of new customers when orders are placed. The Group estimates that the credit risk related to outstanding trade receivables is at most EUR 88 000 at the balance-sheet date. The age distribution of the trade receivables is presented on page 22.
30. Capital management
The objective of the Group’s capital management activities is to support business operations through an optimal capital structure and to increase shareholder value with the objective of achieving the best possible return on invested capital. Another objective is to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence in the Company and to ensure positive development for the Company in the future. The capital to be managed according to the definition of the Group is comprised of net working capital, interest-bearing net debt and shareholders’ equity.
No particular goals have been set for the management of capital of the Group; instead the Group seeks to find a balance between growth targets, the debt ratio and return on capital. Func Food Group Oyj or its subsidiaries are not subjected to externally imposed capital requirements. Note 35 itemises the restrictions on the use of the Group’s funds, the taking of debt, and payment of liabilities during the duration of the parent company’s bond.

Bonds, debentures and convertible loans
The fair values of liabilities are based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate applied is the rate at which the Group could acquire corresponding loan funding externally measured at the end of the reporting period. The overall interest rate consists of a risk-free interest rate and a company-specific risk premium.
Financial lease liabilities
The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using an interest rate which equals the interest rate of corresponding leases on the reporting date.
Trade and other receivables
The initial carrying amount of receivables other than derivative contracts equals their fair value since the effect of discounting is not material considering the maturity of the receivables.
Factoring debts, capital loans, trade payables and other liabilities
The initial carrying amount of factoring debts, capital loans, trade payables and other payables equals their fair value since the effect of discounting is not material considering the maturity of the payables.

Restrictions on the use of company assets, drawing loans and payment of debts during the maturity of issued bond loan
The conditions of the bond issued by the Group in June 2015 set limitations on the use of company funds, drawing new loans, and on the payment of company debts.
Func Food Group Oyj or its subsidiaries cannot pay dividends to the direct or indirect shareholders of the parent company. Also, the parent company cannot buy its own shares or make payments to shareholders through the issuance of share capital or other restricted equity. The Group cannot repay shareholder loans or their accumulated interest. The subsidiary Func Food Sweden Ab cannot repay the loan of EUR 1.5 million that it received in connection with the acquisition of ACMF Holding or its accumulated interest. The Group companies cannot grant loans to parties outside the Group.
Furthermore, the Group may not distribute funds to the direct or indirect shareholders of the parent company or their related parties in any manner similar to those described above, excluding special exceptions listed in the bond’s terms and conditions. These exceptions concern any future listing of the company or a one-off loan granted by a related party to the company. Such a loan can be repaid insofar as it exceeds any excise duty liabilities of the company confirmed by a court of law for the years 2011-2013.
The parent company and the subsidiaries cannot sell their assets except under certain conditions. Assets can be sold between Group companies and in connection with normal business operations including the sale of outdated assets and factoring of trade receivables.

The Group has received a loan of EUR 577.0 thousand from a related party (person) that was granted for settling retrospective tax liabilities for the financial years 2011-2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED IN THE PREPARATION OF PARENT COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Valuation bases and methods applied in preparing the financial statements and principles and methods of accrual accounting
The consolidated financial statements of Func Food Group Oyj have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle. Group’s bond is due at 26th June 2019, but Group has been in event of default since 26th March 2019 due to non-payment of bond coupon interest. A standstill period has been agreed with bondholders to enable finalizing of on-going acquisitions negotiations with potential buyer. Ownership of the Group is expected to change as a result of the negotiations without remarkable effect on business operations. Both bondholders and shareholders are expected to benefit from the deal. However there is a risk that ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen with standstill period. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. Management estimates that in both cases going concern and financing for operations is valid, biggest change will happen in ownership of the Group. Management also estimates the business operations to continue as normal despite any ownership changes. Management sees that financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle. Risks related to going concern have been described in section Assessment of operational risks and uncertainties.
Intangible and tangible assets are recognised at acquisition cost less planned depreciation. Planned depreciation is calculated as straight-line depreciation based on the expected useful life of intangible and tangible assets.
| Item | Depreciation period or % | |
| Intangible rights | 5–20 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | 3–10 years |
Measurement principles for inventories
The company does not have inventories.
Measurement of subsidiary shares
Subsidiary shares are measured at acquisition cost.
Measurement of shares is based on the income generated by the subsidiaries for themselves and for other Group companies.

Restrictions on the use of company assets, drawing loans and payment of debts during the maturity of issued bond loan
The conditions of the bond issued by the Group in June 2015 set limitations on the use of company funds, drawing new loans, and on the payment of company debts.
Func Food Group Oyj or its subsidiaries cannot pay dividends to the direct or indirect shareholders of the parent company. Also, the parent company cannot buy its own shares or make payments to shareholders through the issuance of share capital or other restricted equity. The Group cannot repay shareholder loans or their accumulated interest. The subsidiary Func Food Sweden Ab cannot repay the loan of EUR 1.5 million that it received in connection with the acquisition of ACMF Holding or its accumulated interest. The Group companies cannot grant loans to parties outside the Group.
Furthermore, the Group may not distribute funds to the direct or indirect shareholders of the parent company or their related parties in any manner similar to those described above, excluding special exceptions listed in the bond’s terms and conditions. These exceptions concern any future listing of the company or a one-off loan granted by a related party to the company. This loan can be repaid insofar as it exceeds any excise duty liabilities of the company confirmed by a court of law for the years 2011-2013.
The parent company and the subsidiaries cannot sell their assets except under certain conditions. Assets can be sold between Group companies and in connection with normal business operations including the sale of outdated assets and factoring of trade receivables.
The parent company and the subsidiaries cannot provide other securities than those provided in connection with the issuance of the bond, unless separately allowed in the bond terms. The parent company and the subsidiaries can draw new loans only to the extent specified in the bond terms.

Auditor’s Report
To the Annual General Meeting of Func Food Group Oyj
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Func Food Group Oyj (business identity code 2592369-6) for the year ended 31 December, 2018. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company’s statement of financial position, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report
| — | the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU |
| — | the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. |
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Board of Directors.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The consolidated statement of financial position includes a significant amount of goodwill and intangible assets as a consequence of purchase price allocations. Some of these intangible assets have been estimated to have an indefinite useful life. The management has prepared related impairment tests and consolidated financial statements include an impairment of 7.7 million euros based on the calculations. Significant proportion of the parent company’s statement of financial position is formed by holdings in group companies and receivables from group companies. In the parent company’s financial statements an impairment of 18.5 million euros has been recognised from the holdings in group companies based on the aforementioned impairment tests.
One central assumption in the impairment tests is expanding the business operations in new geographical markets. This would require additional funding and acquiring such funding contains material uncertainty. The management forecasts contain a significant improvement in the profitability of operations compared to the group’s current profitability level. We have assessed the historical accuracy of forecasts prepared by management by comparing the actual results for the year with the original forecasts and actual cash flows for financial year 2018 were much lower than the objectives included in the forecasts. In addition, according to our understanding the uncertainty relating to the forecasts has not been taken sufficiently into account when determining the discount factor used in the calculations.
As described in the notes to the financial statements, the company’s bond is due on 26 June 2019. Acquisition negotiations are in process with a potential buyer. There is a risk that ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen. In that case the growth in the management estimates would not necessarily be reached.
According to our understanding it is likely that the impairments recognised are not sufficient. However, due to the conditions described above, we are not able to estimate accurate financial impact on the goodwill, intangible assets, holdings in group companies and receivables from group companies in this situation.

Func Food Group Oyj Auditor’s Report 1 January – 31 December 2018 |
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern Basis
We would like to draw attention to the Accounting policies applied in the preparation of consolidated financial statements as well as notes 24 Financial liabilities and other non-current liabilities, 28 Liquidity risk and 38 Events after the end of the reporting period. The company’s bond is due on 26 June 2019. The financial performance of the Group has been loss-making. The company has not been able to pay the bond interests in accordance with the bond terms which has constituted a so-called event of default situation since 26 March 2019. Acquisition negotiations are in process with a potential buyer. There is a risk that the ownership restructuring and/or bond refinancing will not happen. In both cases there will be a written procedure process with the bondholders, where it is possible that the ownership of Group companies will change as a result of negotiations between shareholders and bondholders. This could affect going concern. The Group also has considerable amount of overdue accounts payable and due to tight liquidity payment plans have been and will be negotiated with suppliers in order to maintain the liquidity of the company.
The aforementioned conditions show such material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt upon the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion has not been qualified by this matter.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality is determined based on our professional judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set is based on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have influence on the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
We have concluded that in addition to the matters described in sections Basis for Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern Basis there are no such other key audit matters which should be included in our auditor’s report. We have addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Func Food Group Oyj Auditor’s Report 1 January – 31 December 2018 |
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| — | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| — | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the group’s internal control. |
| — | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| — | Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| — | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view. |

Func Food Group Oyj Auditor’s Report 1 January – 31 December 2018 |
| — | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other
Reporting Requirements
Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on 13 June 2017, and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of two years.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In our opinion,
| — | the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and |
| — | except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. |
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. As described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, according to our understanding the impairments recognised in the consolidated and parent company’s financial statements based on the impairment tests are not likely to be sufficient. Thus we are not able to assess the impact of the described matters to the figures and other information in the report of the Board of Directors.
