    PricewaterhouseCoopers AG is a member of the global PricewaterhouseCoopers network of firms, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

    Report of the auditor to the Board of Directors of TalkPool AG Chur

    On your instructions, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TalkPool AG, which comprise the consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated cash flow statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and notes, for the year ended 31 December 2015.

    Board of Directors’ responsibility

    The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the consolidation and valuation principles de-scribed in the notes. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from ma-terial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are rea-sonable in the circumstances.

    Auditor’s responsibility

    Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our au-dit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those stand-ards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consoli-dated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial state-ments, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the in-ternal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also in-cludes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of ac-counting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to pro-vide a basis for our audit opinion.

    Opinion

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 comply with Swiss law as well as with the consolidation and valuation principles described in the notes.

    Significant accounting principles

    Basis for preparation The consolidated financial statements are based on the annual accounts of the Group companies for the year ending 31 December 2015, applying uniform accounting principles. The parent company, TalkPool AG, is a Swiss company and is governed by Swiss law and accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 957 to 963b CO). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a voluntary basis. The financial statements are prepared on a going-concern assumption. For the accounting policies applied to individual items in the balance sheet, please see the corresponding sections of the notes. Description of business TalkPool delivers a comprehensive range of network design, engineering, implementation and managed services designs for the world’s foremost telecommunications operators, system vendors and prime contractors.TalkPool enables the Internet-of-Things (IoT) ecosystem by providing professional services and solutions for Internet of Things and the emerging cloud infrastructures. Through global partnership in Joint Ventures and franchising, TalkPool is enabling IoT and network services worldwide. Consolidation principles Companies where TalkPool AG owns more than 50% of the shares and therefore has control are fully consolidated. Businesses where TalkPools AG has jointly control under a joint venture agreement are proportionally consolidated. Associated companies are accounted for by using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the purchase method. The equity of the Group companies at the time of acquisition is offset against the carrying amount of the participating interest of the parent company. At this point in time, the assets and liabilities already recognised in the balance sheet of the Group companies are revalued at actual values, applying common the accounting principles of the Group. Any difference remaining after this revaluation between purchase price and the equity of the acquired company is capitalised as goodwill and amortised over the useful life. Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are recognised in their entirety for fully consolidated companies. Minority interests in the consolidated equity and the net result are disclosed separately (if material). All internal transactions and relationships between the Group companies are eliminated. Intra-group profits on such transactions are eliminated in the income statement. The companies that constitute the scope of the consolidation are listed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Associated companies are companies over which the Group exercises significant influence but over which it has no control or joint control. This influence is generally evident in the fact that the Group has a voting share representation of between 20% and 50% and also having access to the company’s up-to-date financial information is an indication of significant influence. Shares in associated companies are recognised according to the equity method and initially reported at acquisition cost. They are recognised as the share of equity on the balance sheet date and shown on the consolidated balance sheet in the financial assets and in the notes as “investments in associated companies”. The share in the profit or loss for the financial year is recognised in the consolidated income statement under "Financial result". Participating interests of less than 20% are valued at acquisition cost less any impairment. They are disclosed in the financial assets. Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR). The parent company’s functional currency is the Swiss franc (CHF). Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the average rate of the month. At year-end, monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are revalued with the effect to the income statement at year-end rates. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from valuation of intra-group loans with equity character are recognised in the equity. Exchange rate differences arising from the revaluation of shares in associated companies are also recognised in the equity. Non-monetary assets and liabilites in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the rate at the time of each transaction. Translation of annual financial statements for consolidation The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR). Assets and liabilities of Group companies denominated in a different currency are translated at year-end (reporting date) rates, equity at historical rates and the income statement and cash-flow statement at the average exchange rates for the year. The translation differences, which arise, are recognised in the equity without an impact on the income statement. Cash Cash comprises cash in hand as well as the cash balances in postal and bank accounts. They are recognised at nominal values. Inventories and uninvoiced services Inventories refer to work in progress for projects started at year-end but not completed. Work in progress is measured at the lower of acquisition or production cost and fair value less cost to sell. Uninvoiced services are work performed and completed but not yet invoiced at year-end. These are valued at purchase order value (selling price). For further information please see section “Revenue recognition”. Goodwill Goodwill is carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and is tested for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated useful life: -Goodwill 5 years

  • 6

    Property, plant and equipment Tangible assets are recognised in the consolidated accounts at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the asset to put it in place and in the right condition for the use for which it was acquired. The carrying amount of an item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised from the balance sheet upon retirement or disposal of the asset or when no future economic benefits are expected from the asset’s use, retirement, or disposal. Gains or losses that arise from an asset’s disposal or retirement comprise the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount, less direct selling expenses. Estimated useful lives: Furniture and fittings 3-5 years Computers 3 years Tools and equipment 3-5 years Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilites Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilites are recognized at nominal value. Post-employment obligations The group operates various post-employment schemes which are defined contribution pension plans in accordance with local laws. For defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Revenue recognition Revenue from customer projects is recognised in the profit and loss of the year based on projects completed. Projects started and not completed at year-end are recognised in the balance sheet and recognised in profit and loss upon completion of the project. Revenue is recognised if it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group. If there are material uncertainties about payment, appurtenant expenses, or guarantees, then no revenue recognition occurs. Revenue comprises the fair value of services sold and work performed, excluding value added tax. Revenue is recognised as follows: -Projects completed but not fully invoiced at year-end: upon completion all revenues and expenses referable to completed projects are recognised as profit or loss on the services rendered and work performed, i.e., revenues and expenses are recognised in the period in which the work is completed. Earned but not invoiced fees on the reporting date are recognised as work performed but not invoiced under the “Inventories and uninvoiced services” . - Projects started not fully completed at year-end: work invoiced and expenses incurred for projects started but not fully completed at year-end are recognised in the balance sheet as work in progress under the heading “Inventories and uninvoiced services” and prepayments from customers under “Accrued liabilities and deferred income”. The work in progress is measured at the lower of acquisition or production cost and fair value less cost to sell. Revenue of these projects is recognised upon full completion of the project. Income taxes The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from 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 profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred income tax receivables are included in "Financial assets" and deferred income tax liabilities are included in "Accrued liabilities and deferred income".
