Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated)

 

1Significant accounting policies

 

(a)Statement of compliance

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), which collective term includes all applicable individual IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the IASB. These financial statements also comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Significant accounting policies adopted by the group are disclosed below.

 

In previous periods these financial statements were prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. Although IFRSs have been fully converged with IFRSs in all material respects since January 1, 2005, these financial statements are the first issued financial statements in which the group makes an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRSs. Therefore, in preparing these financial statements management has given due consideration to the requirements of IFRS 1, First time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. For this purpose the date of the group’s transition to IFRSs was determined to be January 1, 2019, being the beginning of the earliest period for which the group presents full comparative information in these financial statements.

 

With due regard to the group’s accounting policies in previous periods and the requirements of IFRS 1, management has concluded that no adjustments were required to the amounts reported under HKFRSs as at the date of transition to IFRSs or in respect of the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The IASB has issued certain amendments to IFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the group. Note 1(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(b)Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the group”) and the group’s interest in a joint venture.

 

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the historical cost basis, except that the following liabilities are stated at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below:

 

-convertible securities (see note 1(v)); and

 

-derivative financial instruments (see note 1(x)).

 

As at December 31, 2020, the group’s current liability exceeded its current asset by $3,163,602. In February 2021, the company raised $5,000,000 by issuing convertible securities. All convertible securities of the company were converted in Series D Preferred Shares of Prenetics Group Limited on June 16, 2021 as disclosed in note 31 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management and the directors are of the view that the group has and will continue to have sufficient financial resources to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the group to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the directors have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 27.

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(c)Early adoption of amended standards

 

The following amendments to IFRSs have been early adopted and applied consistently throughout the periods presented:

 

·Amendments to IFRS 3, Definition of a Business

 

·Amendment to IFRS 16, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions

 

The amendment to IFRS 16 does not have any material impact to the group’s consolidated financial statements. As for the amendments to IFRS 3, the group has elected to apply the concentration test to an acquisition during the year (see note 1(f)).

 

(d)Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. The group controls an entity when it 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. When assessing whether the group has power, only substantive rights (held by the group and other parties) are considered.

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the company, and in respect of which the group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets.

 

Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the company.

 

Changes in the group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.

 

When the group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture (see note 1(e)).

 

In the company’s statement of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(t)(ii)), unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale).

 

(e)Joint ventures

 

A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the group or company and other parties contractually agree to share control of the arrangement, and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

An investment in a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method, unless it is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). The cost of the investment includes purchase price, other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment, and any direct investment into the joint venture that forms part of the group’s equity investment. Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see note 1(t)(ii)). At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is any objective evidence that the investment is impaired. Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the group’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

 

When the group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the group’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the group’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the group’s net investment in the joint venture.

 

Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the group and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the investee, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

In all other cases, when the group ceases to have joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee at the date when joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset.

 

In the company’s statement of financial position, investments in joint venture are stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(t)(ii)), unless classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale).

 

(f)Assets acquisition

 

Groups of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assessed to determine if they are business or asset acquisitions. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group chooses to apply a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is an asset rather than business acquisition, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

When a group of assets acquired and liabilities assumed do not constitute a business, the overall acquisition cost is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. An exception is when the sum of the individual fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities differs from the overall acquisition cost. In such case, any identifiable assets and liabilities that are initially measured at an amount other than cost in accordance with the group’s policies are measured accordingly, and the residual acquisition cost is allocated to the remaining identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.

 

(g)Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment, including right-of-use assets arising from leases of underlying property, plant and equipment (see note 1(i)), are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(t)(ii)). Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

-Properties leased for own use Over the unexpired lease period

 

-Office equipment leased for own use Over the unexpired lease period

 

-Leasehold improvements Shorter of 4 years, or over the unexpired lease period

 

-Fixtures and furniture 5 years

 

-Office and lab equipment 3 - 5 years

 

-Computer equipment 3 years

 

-Motor vehicles 3 years

 

Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

 

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

 

(h)Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

 

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the costs of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 1(t)(ii)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

14

 

 

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(t)(ii)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which its incurred.

 

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

-Website and mobile apps 2 years

 

-Trademark and technology 10 - 20 years

 

-Products development cost 3 years

 

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

 

Intangible assets are not amortised while their useful lives are assessed to be indefinite. Any conclusion that the useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite is reviewed annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment for that asset. If they do not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively from the date of change and in accordance with the policy for amortisation of intangible assets with finite lives as set out above.

 

(i)Leased assets

 

At inception of a contract, the group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.

 

As a lessee, where the contract contains lease component(s), the group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

 

At the lease commencement date, the group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. When the group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value asset, the group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term.

 

Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

 

15

 

 

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see notes 1(g) and 1(t)(ii)).

 

The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether the group will be reasonably certain to exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

 

In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.

 

(j)Inventories

 

Inventories representing consumables, reagent, kits materials and finished goods are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

 

Cost is calculated on the first-in-first-out basis and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

 

The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

 

(k)Trade and other receivables (including amount due from joint venture and amount due from a shareholder)

 

A receivable is recognised when the group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If the revenue has been recognised before the group has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset.

 

16

 

 

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit loss (see note 1(t)(i)).

 

(l)Trade and other payables, deposit liabilities and contract liabilities

 

(i)Trade and other payables

 

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

 

(ii)Deposit liabilities

 

Deposit liabilities are initially recognised at fair value when the customer pays consideration which is refundable until after 5 to 30 days from the date of delivery has passed, in which case they are subsequently recognised as contract liabilities.

 

(iii)Contract liabilities

 

A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays consideration before the group recognises the related revenue, and that consideration becomes non-refundable (see note 1(s)). A contract liability would also be recognised if the group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised (see note 1(k)).

 

(m)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for expected credit loss in accordance with the policy set out in note 1(t)(i).

(n)Employee benefits

 

(i)Short-term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

 

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

 

(ii)Share-based payments

 

The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes Model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the options, the total estimated fair value of the options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest. During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any resulting adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/credited to the profit or loss for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the company’s shares. The equity amount is recognised in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is included in the amount recognised in share capital for the shares issued) or the option expires (when it is released directly to retained profits).

(o)Income tax

 

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

 

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

 

20

 

 

Prenetics Limited 

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

 

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

 

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the company or the group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

 

  -in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the company or the group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

 

  -in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

 

-the same taxable entity; or

 

-different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

(p)Provisions and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the group or the company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

 

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

 

(q)Revenue and other income

 

Income is classified by the group as revenue when it arises from the sale of goods or the provision of services in the ordinary course of the group business.

 

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The group recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or service to customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the asset.

 

The group transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the following overtime criteria is met:

 

  (a)the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the group performs;

 

  (b)the group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or

 

  (c)the group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

(i)Rendering of services

 

The group provides i) preventive services which are genetic testing services to individuals and corporates for their employees and customers; and ii) diagnostic services which are primarily COVID-19 testing for individuals, corporates for their employees or customers and governments for community testing.

 

22

 

 

Prenetics Limited 

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Provision of genetic testing and diagnostic health testing services require individuals to provide specimen samples to the group before it can proceed with the necessary laboratory procedures. Sales contracts relating to testing kits sold directly to individuals normally require specimen samples to be sent back to the group within 3 or 6 months (the “sample return period”) from the date of purchase depending on the jurisdictions in which the kits are purchased by customers. If these customers do not return their specimen samples within the sample return period, the group has no further obligation to provide the service. Sales contracts relating to kits sold to corporates normally do not include specified sample return periods.

 

The group collects consideration for both types of services upfront, and such consideration received usually becomes non-refundable after 5 to 30 days from the date of delivery of the kits to the individuals or corporates, or the date of purchase, and is initially recognised as deposit liabilities (see note 1(l)(ii)) and subsequently recognised as contract liabilities when the consideration becomes non-refundable (see note 1(l)(iii)).

 

The group determines that the sales contracts do not have a significant financing component when the upfront consideration becomes non-refundable as customers have discretion to decide when the tests are performed during the contract term.

 

For certain non-refundable sale contracts, the group does not have sufficient and relevant historical experience to form a reasonable expectation about the amount of breakage revenue the group would be entitled. This would be the case for certain preventive testing kits sold to corporates that would ultimately be passed on to end users at the corporates’ discretion, where there is no stated sample return period and the group has no visibility as to whether and when the kits are distributed to end users. This would also be the case for certain diagnostic testing kits sold to individuals with respect to COVID-19. For these sale contracts, revenue is recognised at the earlier point in time of i) the relevant services are rendered and the testing results are issued; or ii) when the likelihood of end users returning their specimen samples becomes remote.

 

Otherwise, the group generally has sufficient and relevant historical experience for other sales contracts such that the group expects to be entitled to a breakage amount in relation to non-refundable and unexercised rights. For these sales contracts, the group estimates and recognises the expected breakage amount as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by customers on a portfolio basis to the extent that it is considered highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur in the future.

 

(ii)Interest income

 

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

Prenetics Limited

(iii)Government subsidies

 

Government subsidies are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

 

(r)Translation of foreign currencies

 

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. The transaction date is the date on which the group initially recognises such non-monetary assets or liabilities. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

 

The results of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars at the closing foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in translation reserve.

 

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised.

 

(s)Preference share

 

Preference share is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the company’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends on preference share capital classified as equity are recognised as distribution within equity.

 

Preference share is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. The liability is recognised in accordance with the group’s policy for interest-bearing borrowings and accordingly dividends thereon are recognised on an accrual basis in profit or loss as part of finance costs.

(t)Credit losses and impairment of assets

 

(i)Credit losses from financial instruments

 

The group recognises a loss allowance for ECLs on the financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and amount due from joint venture).

 

Measurement of ECLs

 

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the group expects to receive).

 

The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:

 

  -fixed-rate financial assets and trade and other receivables: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;

 

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the group is exposed to credit risk.

 

In measuring ECLs, the group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

 

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

 

  -12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

 

  -lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

 

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

 

For all other financial instruments, the group recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increases in credit risk

 

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the group considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the group in full, without recourse by the group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 90 days past due. The group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

 

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

 

  -failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;

 

  -an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if available);

 

  -an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

 

  -existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the group.

 

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

 

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

 

Basis of calculation of interest income

 

Interest income recognised in accordance with note 1(q)(ii) is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.

 

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

 

  -significant financial difficulties of the debtor;

 

  -a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

 

  -it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

 

  -significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; or

 

  -the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

 

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

 

(ii)Impairment of other non-current assets

 

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

 

  -property, plant and equipment;

 

  -intangible assets;

 

  -goodwill; and

 

  -investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures in the company’s statement of financial position.

 

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.

  -Calculation of recoverable amount

 

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

 

  -Recognition of impairment losses

 

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

 

  -Reversals of impairment losses

 

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

 

A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

 

(u)Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents excess of

 

  (i)the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the group’s previously held equity interest the acquiree; over

 

  (ii)the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.

 

When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.

 

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see note 1(t)(ii)).

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

 

(v)Convertible securities

 

(i)Convertible securities that are classified as equity instrument

 

Convertible securities are classified as an equity instrument when the following conditions are met:

 

  (a)The securities include no contractual obligation (i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or (ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the group; and

 

  (b)If the securities will or may be settled in the group’s own equity instruments, it is: (i) a non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the group to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or (ii) a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.

 

In such case, at initial recognition, the securities are measured at transaction price and are credited to other reserve in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of securities are recognised as a deduction in equity.

 

If the securities are redeemed, the consideration paid is recognised directly in equity, and no gain or loss will be recognised in profit or loss.

 

(ii)Other convertible securities

 

Convertible securities issued by the group contain embedded derivatives that should be separately accounted for but cannot be measured separately.  At initial recognition, the convertible securities are measured at fair value.  At the end of each reporting period, the fair value is remeasured and the gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

If the securities are converted, the shares issued are measured at fair value and any difference between the fair value of shares issued and the fair value of the convertible securities is recognised in profit or loss.  If the securities are redeemed, any difference between the amount paid and the fair value of the convertible securities is recognised in profit or loss.

 

The group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

(x)Derivative financial instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. At the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for cash flow hedge accounting or hedges of net investment in a foreign operation, in which case recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.

 

For hybrid instrument contains an embedded derivative, if the main contract belongs to financial assets, the hybrid instrument as a whole shall apply to the regulations of financial assets. If the main contract does not belong to financial assets, and the mixed instrument is not measured at fair value through profit and loss, the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative and the main contract are not closely related, and under the same conditions with embedded derivative cannot be separately measured at the date of acquisition or the date subsequent to the financial reporting date, then the hybrid instrument is accounted for as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

 

(y)Segment reporting

 

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the consolidated financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

 

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

2Segment information

 

The group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by a mixture of both business lines (products and services) and geographical locations. The group has identified the following two reportable segments in a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

 

The group's operating and reportable segments are as follows:

 

  1.Prevention being the design and sale of genetics testing and stool-based DNA tests for early colorectal cancer screening

 

  2.Diagnostic being the sale of COVID-19 testing services which was established in 2020

 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment gross profit, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information.

(d)Deferred tax assets not recognised

 

As at December 31, 2019, the group did not recognise deferred tax assets on tax losses of $16,458,265 and $426,185 in respect of Hong Kong operations and Singapore operations, respectively because based on its assessment, it was not probable that future taxable profit would be available against which the tax losses can be utilised.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Hong Kong operations and Singapore operations generated taxable profits and utilised tax losses of $4,491,220 and $41,790, respectively. Based on the group’s assessment at December 31, 2020, it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to utilise the remaining balance of the unused tax losses of $11,429,134 in respect of Hong Kong operations and $384,395 in respect of Singapore operations and, therefore, total deferred tax assets of $1,951,154 were recognised.

 

In respect of the United Kingdom operations, the group did not recognise deferred tax assets attributable to the future benefits of tax losses of $3,050,828 (2019: $920,374) as it is uncertain that future taxable profits against which tax losses can be utilised will be available.

 

The tax losses related to Hong Kong operations have yet to be agreed to by Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department and do not expire under the current tax legislation. The tax losses related to the United Kingdom operations have yet to be agreed to by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and do not expire under the current tax legislation. The tax losses related to Singapore operations have yet to be agreed to by Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore and do not expire under the current tax legislation.

8Property, plant and equipment (continued)

 

(i)Properties leased for own use

 

The group has obtained the right to use some properties as its warehouses and offices through tenancy agreements. The leases typically run for an initial period of 2 to 5 years. Lease payments are usually increased every 2 years to reflect market rentals. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an additional period after the end of the contract term. Where practicable, the group seeks to include such extension options exercisable by the group to provide operational flexibility. The group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. If the group is not reasonably certain to exercise the extension options, the future lease payments during the extension periods are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities. The group considered the potential exposure to these future lease payments to be insignificant.

 

(ii)Office equipment

 

The group leases office equipment under a lease expiring in 5 years (2019: 5 years). The lease does not include an option to renew the lease or purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term at a price deemed to be a bargain purchase option. The lease does not include variable lease payments.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill

 

The goodwill balance at December 31, 2020 arose from the acquisition of Prenetics EMEA in 2018 representing the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill was allocated to Prenetics EMEA which was considered to be the smallest group of assets that generated cash flows independently (i.e. cash generating unit, (“CGU”)) upon acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the group provided only genetic testing services and therefore determined that the group as a whole was one operating segment.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the group launched COVID-19 testing services which was a new business incubated using the experience and knowledge of its workforce from operating the genetic testing business. This resulted in a change in the group’s reporting structure and a change in the composition of the CGU to which the above goodwill was originally allocated. Further, as from 2020, the group has identified two operating segments being (1) Prevention which covers the genetic testing services, and (2) Diagnostics which covers the COVID-19 testing services. Accordingly, the group has reallocated the goodwill balance between Prevention EMEA and Diagnostic EMEA, being the two CGUs identified for the purpose of impairment testing at December 31, 2020.

 

Below is the summary of the goodwill balance allocated to the group’s CGUs:

 

  2020  2019 
  $  $ 
Prevention EMEA within the Prevention segment   [ ]   3,854,199 
Diagnostics EMEA within the Diagnostics segment   [ ]   - 
       
   3,993,007   3,854,199 

 

The recoverable amounts of the CGU Prevention EMEA and CGU Diagnostics EMEA were determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a ten-year period. Cash flows beyond the ten-year period (2019: 5-year period) are extrapolated using the estimated average growth rates stated below. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts of the two CGUs are set out below. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and are based on historical data from external and internal sources.

Pre-tax discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the relevant CGU, regarding the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets which have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and derived from its weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC is calculated based on the weighted value of the cost of equity which is derived from the expected return on investment by the group's investors, and the cost of debt which is derived from the market lending rate for peer companies.

 

At December 31, 2019, the recoverable amount of the CGU Prevention EMEA based on the estimated value-in-use calculations was higher than its carrying amount. Accordingly, no provision for impairment loss for goodwill is considered necessary.

 

At December 31, 2020, the recoverable amounts of the CGU Prevention and the CGU Diagnostics based on the estimated value-in-use calculations were higher than the carrying amounts of the respective CGUs. Accordingly, no provision for impairment loss for goodwill is considered necessary.

 

Any reasonably possible changes in the other key assumptions used in the value-in-use assessment model would not affect management’s view on impairment at December 31, 2019 and 2020.

(iii)Fair value of share options and assumptions

 

The fair value of services received in return for share options granted is measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the share options granted is measured based on Black-Scholes Model. The contractual life of the share option is used as an input into this model.

 

  2020   2019 
Fair value of share options and key assumptions      
      
Fair value at measurement date   $4.11 - $5.49    $3.06 - $3.33 
Share price   $4.12 - $5.50    $3.07 - $3.34 
Exercise price  $0.01   $0.01 
Expected volatility   51.97% - 88.74%    42.23% - 43.76% 
Expected option life   1.5 years - 2 years    2.5 years - 3 years 
Expected dividends   0%   0%
Risk-free interest rate (based on 5-year HKSAR government bonds)   0.090% - 0.805%    1.365% - 1.627% 
Likelihood of achieving a liquidity event   70%   70%

 

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the weighted average remaining life of the share options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility based on publicly available information. Expected dividends are based on historical dividends. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

Share options were granted under a service condition. This condition has not been taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement of the services received. There were no market conditions associated with the share option grants.

 

(b)Restricted Share Scheme

 

The company approved Restricted Share Scheme in 2017. Purposes and objectives of the Restricted Share Scheme are to recognise and motivate the contribution of employees and to incentivise them to further the operation and enhancing the value of the company and its shares for the benefit of the company and its shareholders as a whole.

 

Restricted shares granted were ordinary shares with a subscription price of $0.01 per share. These restricted shares are subject to the following restrictions:

 

-Vesting conditions: 33.33% of the shares vest on the first anniversary, followed by 2.77% monthly over a twenty three month period and 2.96% on the third anniversary;

25Equity settled share-based transactions (continued)

 

-In spite of the vesting conditions stated above, the restricted shares cannot be sold until the earliest of (i) September 1, 2021; (ii) the first anniversary after the completion of an initial public offering and (iii) the occurrence of a liquidation event. A liquidation event has been defined in the share agreement as a trade sale of more than 50% of the company’s shares, a merger/consolidation or similar business combination of the company which results in change in control, or a sale of a majority part or substantially all of the company’s assets.

 

The following awarded restricted shares were outstanding for the year

 

  2020   2019 
      
At January 1 and December 31   5,313,900    5,313,900 

 

Fair value of the restricted shares granted to the selected employees on the dates of grants were $5,799,625 ($1.091 per share) (2019: $5,799,625 ($1.091 per share)). The company recognised employee share-based compensation benefits according to the restriction conditions.

 

As part of a corporate restructuring, both the 2014 Option Scheme and the Restricted Share Scheme were terminated on June 16, 2021. The two schemes were rolled up to a new ESOP scheme of Prenetics Group Limited (the “New ESOP Scheme”), which is approved to issue up to 4,052,627 new shares of Prenetics Group Limited.

 

26Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments

 

Exposure to credit, liquidity and currency risks arises in the normal course of the group’s business. The group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the group to manage these risks are described below.

 

(a)Credit risk

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the group. The group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The group’s credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with good credit rating for which the group considers to have low credit risk.

 

Trade receivables

 

The group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. At the end of the reporting year, 20% (2019: 38%) and 58% (2019: 77%) of the total trade receivables were due from the group’s largest customer and the five largest customers, respectively.

 

62

 

 

Prenetics Limited

Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020

 

26Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments (continued)

 

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These take into account the customer’s past payment history, financial position and other factors. Trade receivables are due within 30 to 60 days from the billing date. Normally, the group does not obtain collateral from customers.

 

The group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The group allocates each individual customer to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of default and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of risk of default. These factors vary depending on the nature of the exposure and the type of customer.

 

Each individual customer is allocated to a credit risk grade on initial recognition based on available information about the customer. Exposures are subject to ongoing monitoring, which may result in an exposure being moved to a different credit risk grade.

 

The group then calculates an expected loss rate for each credit risk grade with reference to the weighted-average loss rate for each external credit rating published by external rating agencies. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

 

As at December 31, 2020, the overall expected loss rate was 1.79% (2019: 0.78%) which reflected the settlement experience on the trade receivables.

 

Movement in the loss allowance account in respect of trade receivable during the year is as follows:

Balance at January 1   22,490    -

(b)Liquidity risk

 

The group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

 

The following table shows the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) and the earliest date the group can be required to pay:

(c)Currency risk

 

The company’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and the company’s presentation currency is United States dollars (“USD”). The group is exposed to currency risk primarily through subsidiaries conducting their operations outside of Hong Kong with assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies, being primarily USD and Renminbi (“RMB”).

 

As the HKD is pegged to the USD, the group considers the risk of movements in exchange rates between the HKD and the USD to be insignificant.

(ii)Sensitivity analysis

 

The following table indicates the instantaneous change in the group’s profit after tax (and retained profits) that would arise if foreign exchange rates to which the group has significant exposure at the end of the reporting period had changed at that date, assuming all other risk variables remained constant. In this respect, it is assumed that the pegged rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar would be materially unaffected by any changes in movement in value of the United States dollar against other currencies.

(d)Fair value measurement

 

(i)Financial liabilities measured at fair value

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The following table presents the fair value of the group’s financial liabilities measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

 

-Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date

 

-Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available

 

-Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs

Convertible securities         15,346,113    -    -    15,346,113 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The group’s policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

 

Information about Level 3 fair value measurements

 

   Valuation techniques  Significant unobservable inputs
       
Convertible  Note  Expected volatility: 40.60%
securities     Discount rate: 19.09%

 

Note:As at December 31, 2020, the fair value of the convertible securities was measured at fair value through profit or loss, and determined with reference to the enterprise value of the group.

 

The fair value measurement is positively correlated to the expected volatility and inversely correlated with the discount rate. As at December 31, 2020, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, an increase/decrease in the expected volatility by 5% would have increased/decreased the group’s loss by $47,446 and $66,174 respectively, and an increase/decrease in the discount rate by 5% would have decreased/increased the group’s loss by $14,983 and $14,983 respectively.

 

The movement of convertible securities during the year is disclosed in note 23.

 

(ii)Financial assets and liabilities carried at other than fair value

 

The carrying amounts of the group’s financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are not materially different from their fair values as at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

27Accounting judgement and estimates

 

Sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In the application of the group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

 

(i)Impairment of goodwill

 

Note 10 contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to impairment of goodwill.

 

(ii)Loss allowance on trade and other receivables

 

Note 1(t) and note 26(a) contain information about the policies and the assumptions and their risk factors relating to the loss allowance on trade and other receivables.

 

(iii)Recognition of breakage revenue

 

Note 1(p) contains information about the policies and management’s considerations relating to recognition for revenue arising from customers’ unexercised rights (breakage).

 

(iv)Fair value of convertible securities

 

The fair value of the convertible securities is determined based on the valuation performed by a independent valuer. Such valuation is subject to limitations of valuation model adopted and uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Should the estimates and the relevant parameters of the valuation models be changed, there would be material changes in the fair value of the convertible securities.

 

(v)Estimated useful lives on intangible assets

 

The group estimates the useful lives of intangible assets based on the periods over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The group reviews annually their estimated useful lives, based on factors that include asset utilisation, internal technical evaluation, technological changes, environmental and anticipated use of the assets tempered by related industry benchmark information. It is possible that future results of operation could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of intangible assets would increase amortisation charges and decrease non-current assets.

30Acquisition of a subsidiary

  

On October 29, 2020, the company and Prenetics EMEA Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, entered into a share purchase agreement with the then shareholders of Oxsed Limited (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition’s consideration consists of:

 

(1)cash consideration of GBP2,000,000 (equivalent to $2,574,145 as completion payment;

 

(2)retention payment of GBP1,000,000 (equivalent to $1,287,072) payable on 29 October 2021;

 

(3)exchange loan notes (“Completion Note”) with a principal amount of GBP10,000,000 (equivalent to $12,870,723), of which GBP5,865,450 (equivalent to $7,549,258) can be exchanged into 1,652,248 ordinary shares of the company immediately on 29 October 2020, and the remaining would be exchangeable into the company’s ordinary shares annually over a three-year period (see note 24(c)(iii)); and

 

(4)an additional contingent consideration as the earn-out payment which is calculated based on 15% of the net sales amounts in respect of the upcoming three financial years starting from the completion date of the Acquisition and capped at GBP15,000,000 (equivalent to $19,306,085).

 

Such contingent consideration will be payable within a specified period as stated in the share purchase agreement after the end of each of the three financial years starting from the completion date of the Acquisition. The contingent consideration is charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

 

Upon the completion of the Acquisition, Oxsed Limited becomes an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.

 

The management has applied the simplified assessment to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is an asset rather than business acquisition. The Acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities because based on management’s assessment, substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset which represents a set of intellectual property rights for developing the real time reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) technology. The RT-LAMP technology was used to develop a viral RNA molecular test or nucleic acid amplification test for Covid-19 that received CE mark from the European Commission and approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom.

 

As a result of this transaction, the group recognised the intellectual property rights as intangible assets totalling $17,619,789 which have estimated useful lives of 20 years. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill.

31Non-adjusting events after the reporting period

  

On February 8, 2021, the company issued US dollar denominated convertible securities in the aggregate principal value of $5,000,000 with the maturity date on February 8, 2022 (“Series D+ Notes”). The key terms of the Series D+ Notes were substantially the same as the Notes.

 

For the purposes of restructuring the shareholding structure of the company and facilitating fundraising activities, the company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Subscription Agreement with the existing shareholders of the company and Prenetics Group Limited on May 4, 2021. As part of the restructuring, the pre-existing shares of Prenetics Limited were exchanged to their corresponding classes of shares of Prenetics Group Limited, while the Notes and the Series D+ Notes were both converted into Series D Preferred Shares of Prenetics Group Limited. As a result of this corporate restructuring, the company has become an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Prenetics Group Limited from June 16, 2021. This transaction will be accounted at cost as it is considered a business combination under common control.

 

Also as part of this corporate restructuring, both the 2014 Option Scheme and the Restricted Share Scheme were terminated on June 16, 2021. The two schemes were rolled up to a new ESOP scheme of Prenetics Group Limited (the “New ESOP Scheme”). In addition, the New ESOP plan is approved to issue up to 4,052,627 new shares of Prenetics Group Limited.

32Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2020

  

Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the IASB has issued a number of amendments and a new standard, IFRS 17, Insurance contracts, which are not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2020 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements.

 

Effective for
accounting
periods
beginning on or
after
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 January 1, 2021
Amendments to IFRS 3, Reference to the Conceptual Framework January 1, 2022
Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use January 1, 2022
Amendments to IAS 37, Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract January 1, 2022
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle January 1, 2022
Amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current January 1, 2023

  

The group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new and amended standards and interpretations would be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated)

 

1Significant accounting policies

 

(a)Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

 

This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2020 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2021 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 1(b).

 

The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the group since the 2020 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”).

 

As at March 31, 2021, the group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,497,281. Despite this, the group generated net income of $1,739,090 during the period and in June 2021, the company completed its Series E fundraising and raised $25,939,990 by issuing preference shares (note 15) which provided additional funding for the operation.

 

Management and the directors are of the view that the group has and will continue to have sufficient financial resources to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to enable the group to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the directors have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

1Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(b)Changes in accounting policies

 

The group has applied the following amendments to IFRSs issued by the IASB to this interim financial report for the current accounting period:

 

·Amendment to IFRS 16, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions

 

·Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, Interest rate benchmark reform – phase 2

 

None of these amendments have had a material effect on how the group’s results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report. The group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

 

2Segment information

 

The group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by a mixture of both business lines (products and services) and geographical locations. The group has identified the following two reportable segments in a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

 

The group's operating and reportable segments are as follows:

 

1.Prevention being the design and sale of genetics testing and stool-based DNA tests for early colorectal cancer screening

 

2.Diagnostic being the sale of COVID-19 testing services which was established in 2020

 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment gross profit, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information.

14Fair values of financial instruments

 

(a)Financial liabilities measured at fair value

 

(i)Fair value hierarchy

 

The following table presents the fair value of the group’s financial liabilities measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

 

-Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date

 

-Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available

 

-Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The group’s policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

 

(ii)Information about Level 3 fair value measurements

 

  Valuation techniques Significant unobservable inputs
Convertible securities Note

Expected volatility: 45.48% - 46.59%

Discount rate: 16.24% - 16.28%

 

Note:As at March 31, 2021, the fair value of the convertible securities was measured at fair value through profit or loss, and determined with reference to the enterprise value of the group.

 

The fair value measurement is positively correlated to the expected volatility and inversely correlated with the discount rate. As at March 31, 2021, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, an increase/decrease in the expected volatility by 5% would have decreased/increased the group’s profit by $24,723 and $25,277 respectively, and an increase/decrease in the discount rate by 5% would have increased/decreased the group’s profit by $7,027 and $7,223 respectively.

15Non-adjusting events after the reporting period

  

For the purposes of restructuring the shareholding structure of the company and facilitating fundraising activities, the company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Subscription Agreement with the existing shareholders of the company and Prenetics Group Limited on May 4, 2021. As part of the restructuring, the pre-existing shares of Prenetics Limited were exchanged to their corresponding classes of shares of Prenetics Group Limited, while the Notes and the Series D+ Notes were both converted into Series D Preferred Shares of Prenetics Group Limited. As a result of this corporate restructuring, the company has become an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Prenetics Group Limited from June 16, 2021. This transaction will be accounted for at cost as it is considered as a business combination under common control.

 

Also as part of this corporate restructuring, both the 2014 Option Scheme and the Restricted Share Scheme were terminated on June 16, 2021. The two schemes were rolled up to a new ESOP scheme of Prenetics Group Limited (the “New ESOP Scheme”). In addition, the New ESOP plan is approved to issue up to 4,052,627 new shares of Prenetics Group Limited.
