Objective
This set of illustrative financial statements is one of many produced by EY to assist you in preparing your own financial
statements. The illustrative financial statements are intended to reflect transactions, events and circumstances that we
consider to be most common for a broad range of entities across a wide variety of industries. Certain disclosures are
included in these financial statements for illustrative purposes even though they may be regarded as items or transactions
that are not material for Good Group.
How to use these illustrative financial statements to prepare entity-specific disclosures
Users of this publication are encouraged to prepare entity-specific disclosures. Transactions and arrangements
other than those applicable to the Group may require additional disclosures. It should be noted that the illustrative
financial statements of the Group are not designed to satisfy any stock market or country-specific regulatory
requirements, nor is this publication intended to reflect disclosure requirements that apply mainly to regulated or
specialised industries.
Notations shown in the right-hand margin of each page are references to IFRS paragraphs that describe the specific
disclosure requirements. Commentaries are provided to explain the basis for the disclosure or to address alternative
disclosures not included in the illustrative financial statements. If questions arise as to the IFRS requirements, it is essential
to refer to the relevant source material and, where necessary, to seek appropriate professional advice.
As explained above, the primary purpose of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements is to illustrate
how the most commonly applicable disclosure requirements in IAS 34 can be met. Therefore, they include disclosures
that may, in practice, be deemed not material to Good Group. It is essential that entities consider their particular
circumstances in determining which disclosures to include. These illustrative interim condensed consolidated
financial statements are not intended to act as guidance for making the materiality assessment; they must always
be tailored to ensure that an entity’s financial statements reflect and portray its specific circumstances and its own
materiality considerations. Only then will the financial statements provide decision-useful financial information.
Furthermore, entities should consider the requirements in IAS 34 when determining the materiality of the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements for the purposes of deciding how to recognise, measure, classify, or
disclose an item. The materiality judgements at interim dates may differ from those at year-end.
For more guidance on how to improve disclosure effectiveness, please refer to our publication, Applying IFRS:
Enhancing communication effectiveness (February 2017).
Comparative information
Financial statements must include the comparable interim period of the previous financial year for the statement
of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows.
A comparative statement of financial position must be provided as of the end of the preceding annual period.
IAS 1 requires that complete financial statements include comparative information for disclosures provided outside
the primary financial statements (i.e., in the notes). However, a similar explicit requirement is not applicable to interim
condensed financial statements. Nevertheless, where an explanatory note is required by the standard (such as for inventory
write-downs, impairment provisions or segment revenues) or otherwise necessary to provide information about changes in
the financial position and performance since the end of the last annual reporting period, it would be appropriate to provide
information for each period presented. However, it would be unnecessary to provide comparative information if this repeats
information that was reported in the notes to the most recent annual financial statements. Such an approach has been
applied in these interim condensed financial statements.
Covid-19
The Covid-19 outbreak was first reported near the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China. Since then, the virus has spread
worldwide. On 11 March 2020, the WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a pandemic.
Covid-19 has significantly impacted the world economy. Many countries have imposed travel bans on millions of people and,
additionally, people in many locations are subject to quarantine measures. Businesses are dealing with lost revenue and
disrupted supply chains. Countries have imposed lockdowns in response to the pandemic and, as a result of the disruption
to businesses, millions of workers have lost their jobs. The Covid-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant volatility in
the financial and commodities markets worldwide. Numerous governments have announced measures to provide both
financial and non-financial assistance to the affected entities.
These developments have presented entities with challenges in preparing their IFRS financial statements. This publication
provides reminders in commentary boxes of the existing disclosure requirements that should be considered when reporting
on the financial effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in IFRS financial statements. However, as the impact largely depends on
the nature of an entity’s business and the extent to which it has been affected, the potential impact has not been illustrated
in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interim financial reporting presumes that users of the interim financial report also have access to its most recent annual
financial report. Thus, an interim financial report should explain events and transactions that are significant to an
understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the entity since the previous annual reporting period
and provide an update to the relevant information included in the financial statements of the previous year. Given the
dynamic nature of both government and business responses to the Covid-19, entities should consider whether additional
disclosures are necessary to explain significant events and transactions subsequent to the previous reporting period that
are significant to their financial statements.
As noted in our publications, Applying IFRS - Accounting considerations of the coronavirus pandemic (February 2021),
Applying IFRS – Disclosure of Covid-19 impact (October 2020) and Applying IFRS – Impact of coronavirus on alternative
performance measures and disclosures (May 2020), entities should, in particular, consider the accounting and disclosure
requirements with regards to: going concern, financial instruments, impairment assessment of non-financial assets,
government grants, income taxes, liabilities from insurance contracts, leases, insurance recoveries, onerous contract
provisions, fair value measurement, revenue recognition, inventories, events after the reporting period, other financial
statement disclosure requirements, and other accounting estimates.
The Covid-19 pandemic affects the assumptions and estimation uncertainty associated with the measurement of assets and
liabilities. Therefore, entities should carefully consider whether additional disclosures are necessary in order to help users
of financial statements understand the judgements applied in the financial statements.
Commentary
Interim financial statements are generally not subject to an audit, unlike annual financial statements. Often interim financial
statements are the subject of review; such review requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It is common practice to
state that the interim financial statements have not been audited by marking the title and/or parts of the interim financial statements
‘unaudited’, as illustrated, although this is not required under IAS 34.
This publication does not contain an illustrative report on the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
Good Group (International) Limited because many jurisdictions require reporting under their specific requirements or standards and
this publication is not intended to provide guidance on the application of specific requirements of individual jurisdictions.

Covid-19 commentary
IAS 34.16A(c) requires entities to disclose the nature and amount of items affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash
flows that are unusual because of their nature, size or incidence.
There are various ways that an entity may elect to provide information on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. For example,
entities may decide to present additional line items in their statement of profit or loss or disclose quantitative estimates or qualitative
explanations of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the notes to the financial statements. Other entities may decide to use
a variety of financial measures, other than the measures required by the application of IFRS, sometimes referred to as, adjusted
numbers, non-GAAP measures, Management Performance Measures, or Alternative Performance Measures.
Entities should be cautious regarding any separate presentation of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in the primary financial
statement. Separate presentation of Covid-19 adjusted items may be inappropriate, as distinguishing the effect of the Covid-19
pandemic from other developments may be difficult, and therefore, such presentation may be misleading. Entities should, as required
by IAS 34.16A(c), disclose qualitative and quantitative information on the significant impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the
methodology applied for their determination, in a way that provides a clear and unbiased picture.

Commentary
Paragraph 18 of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows allows entities to report cash flows from operating activities using either the direct
method or the indirect method. The Group presents its cash flows using the indirect method. Our publication, Good Group
(International) Limited - Illustrative financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, includes an appendix that illustrates
the presentation of the statement of cash flows using the direct method.
The Group has reconciled profit before tax to net cash flows from operating activities. However, a reconciliation from profit after
tax is also acceptable under IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
IAS 7 permits interest paid to be shown as an operating or financing activity and interest received to be shown as an operating
or investing activity, as deemed relevant for the entity. Interest paid (including the interest on lease liabilities) is classified as
an operating activity as the Group considers this to relate directly to the cost of operating the business. Interest received is also
considered an operating activity by the Group.
IFRS 16.50 requires that in the statement of cash flows, a lessee classifies: cash payments for the principal portion of the lease
liability within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability applying the requirement s in IAS 7
for interest paid (i.e., IAS 7.31-33); and short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease
payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability within operating activities. Non-cash activity (e.g., the initial
recognition of the lease at commencement) is required to be disclosed as a supplemental non-cash item in accordance with IAS 7.43.
1. Corporate information
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Good Group (International) Limited and its IAS 10.17
subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the six months ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue
in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 9 August 2021.
Good Group (International) Limited (the Company) is a limited company, incorporated and domiciled in IAS 1.138(a)
Euroland, whose shares are publicly traded. The registered office is located at Fire House, Ashdown Square IAS 1.138(b)
in Euroville. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of fire prevention and electronic equipment
and services and the management of investment property.
Commentary
There is no explicit requirement in IAS 34 to include corporate information in a condensed set of interim financial
statements, as is required in a complete set of financial statements under IAS 1. However, it is good practice to
disclose such information to provide users insights into the specifics of the reporting entity and its business.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the financial
statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors consider that there
are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt significant doubt over this assumption. They have formed
a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting
period.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures
required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual
consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020.
Commentary
IAS 34.19 clarifies that an interim financial report must not be described as complying with IFRS unless it complies with
all of the requirements of IFRS. In these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group is not claiming
compliance with IFRS in its entirety, but rather, with the requirements of IAS 34. If a complete set of interim financial
statements was provided complying with all requirements of IFRS, entities may be able to include in their compliance
statement, with reference to IFRS as issued by the IASB, in addition to IAS 34.
A statement that the financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis is not a requirement of IFRS. However,
it is required by regulators in certain jurisdictions and may be considered a “best practice” disclosure. The Group has
decided to disclose the basis of preparation for these reasons.
Covid-19 commentary
IAS 34.15 requires an entity to include in its interim financial report an explanation of events and transactions that are
significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the entity since the end of the
last annual reporting period. Also, an entity is required to include explanations regarding the nature and amount of
items that are unusual because of their nature, size or incidence. Information disclosed in relation to those events
and transactions should also update the relevant information presented in the most recent annual financial report.
IAS 34.15B includes a number of required disclosures as well as a non-exhaustive list of events and transactions for
which disclosures would be required if they are significant. For example, where significant, an entity needs to disclose
changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of its financial assets and financial
liabilities, whether those assets or liabilities are recognised at fair value or amortised cost. An entity is also required
to disclose any loan default or breach of a loan agreement that has not been remedied on or before the end of the
reporting period. Similarly, transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of
financial instruments should be disclosed if significant.
Although IAS 34 does not contain a detailed requirement to include sensitivity disclosures, if the range of reasonably
possible changes in key assumptions has significantly changed since the end of the last annual reporting period, an
update of relevant sensitivity disclosures may be required.
IAS 34.15A notes that a user of an entity’s interim financial report will have access to the most recent annual financial
report of that entity. Therefore, it is unnecessary for the notes to an interim financial report to provide relatively
insignificant updates to the information that was reported in the notes in the most recent annual financial report.
However, as most entities will be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, information in their last annual financial report
2.2. New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group IAS 34.16A(a)
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of new standards
effective as of 1 January 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment
that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Commentary
The Group has prepared and presented interim condensed consolidated financial statements. IAS 34 requires an entity
to include a ‘description of the nature and effect of changes in accounting policies’ and disclosure of ‘the nature
and amount of changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior periods’. When determining how to best meet
the requirement to disclose the ‘nature and effect’ in condensed interim financial statements, the more specific
requirements applicable to annual financial statements may be considered in the assessment of how to best disclose
the nature and effect of the new standards (e.g., applying IAS 8.28).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the disclosures required under IAS 8.28. Some of
the changes described may not be material to the Group, but were provided for illustrative purposes. Entities will need
to exercise judgement in determining the level of disclosures to include. The extent of disclosures will generally be
proportionate to the actual impact of the standard on initial application. The expectations of local regulators on the level
of detail in the disclosures must also be taken into account.
Commentary
Generally, an entity may choose only to comment on those amendments that directly impact the condensed interim
financial statements. Alternatively, an entity may choose to provide disclosures on amendments to IFRS that have
no impact on the condensed interim financial statements, but are expected to impact the annual financial statements.
When considering the impact to the financial statements, IAS 8.28 indicates that an entity should consider whether the
amendment might impact future periods.
In some jurisdictions, the adoption of IFRS for reporting purposes may be subject to a specific legal process or
endorsement mechanisms (e.g., in the European Union (EU) or Australia). In such jurisdictions, the effective dates
may therefore differ from the IASB's effective dates.
IAS 8.30 requires entities to disclose in a complete set of financial statements those standards that have been issued
but are not yet effective and to provide known or reasonably estimable information to enable users to assess the
possible impact of the application of such IFRSs on an entity’s financial statements. There is no similar requirement
for the interim condensed financial statements. However, IAS 34 requires updates of relevant information presented
and disclosed in the most recent annual financial statements. Good Group has chosen not to disclose those standards
that have been issued but are not yet effective in its interim financial statements.
The Group recognised impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from contracts with IFRS 15.113(b)
customers, included under Administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss, amounting to €77,000
and €68,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Commentary
IAS 34.16A(l) requires disclosure of disaggregated revenue information, consistent with the requirement included in
IFRS 15.114-115.
The Group presented disaggregated revenue based on the type of goods or services provided to customers, the
geographical region, and the timing of transfer of goods and services. Entities will need to make this determination
based on entity-specific and/or industry-specific factors that would be most meaningful to their business.
The Group presented a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the revenue information disclosed for each
reportable segment. Other entities may find it appropriate to provide disaggregated revenue information within the
segment reporting disclosures.
Covid-19 commentary
Entities may need to use significant judgement to determine the effect of uncertainties related to the Covid-19
pandemic on their revenue accounting, e.g., estimates of variable consideration (including the constraint) and provide
appropriate disclosures of these judgements. Decisions made in response to the outbreak (e.g., modifying contracts,
continuing transacting with customers despite collectability concerns, revising pricing) may trigger additional
disclosures.

30 June 2021 30,251 7,002 4,234 41,487 34,377 75,864 IAS 34.16A(g)(iv)
Commentary
IAS 34.16A(g)(iv) requires disclosure of total assets and total liabilities where there has been a material change from the
total assets and total liabilities disclosed in the last annual consolidated financial statements, if this information is provided
to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) on a regular basis. To fulfil this requirement, the Group has disclosed segment
assets and liabilities at the end of the current period and at the end of the most recent annual financial year.
The Group has disposed of an entire operating segment in February 2021. IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations clarifies that requirements of other standards do not apply to discontinued operations, unless they
specify disclosures applicable to them. IFRS 8 Operating Segments does not require such disclosures. Therefore, the Group
has not provided segment disclosures for the discontinued operations. If an entity believes that segment disclosures about a
discontinued operations will be relevant, it may do so.
The Group’s CODM regularly reviews the segment information related to the joint venture based on its proportionate share
of revenue, profits, assets and liabilities to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its
performance. However, as required by IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, the Group’s interest in the joint venture is accounted
for in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the equity method. The eliminations arising on account
of differences between proportionate consolidation and the equity method are included under ‘Adjustments and eliminations’.
Finance income, finance costs, taxes and fair value gains and losses on certain financial assets and liabilities
are not allocated to individual segments as these are managed on an overall group basis. These are included
in adjustments and eliminations in the segment disclosures.

The electronics segment is a supplier of electronic equipment for defence, aviation, electrical safety markets
and consumer electronic equipment for home use. It offers products and services in the areas of electronics,
safety, thermal and electrical architecture. Due to the seasonal nature of this segment, higher revenues and
operating profits are usually expected in the second half of the year rather than in the first six months. Higher
sales during the period June to August are mainly attributed to the increased demand for aviation electronic
equipment during the peak holiday season, as well as in December, due to increased demand for electronic
equipment from private customers. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the
results, however, management has concluded that this is not ’highly seasonal’ in accordance with IAS 34.
Commentary
The business of the Group is seasonal and, therefore, the interim condensed financial statements include disclosure
under IAS 34.16A(b). However, the business is not regarded as highly seasonal. Therefore, the additional disclosure of
financial information for the twelve months up to the end of the interim period and comparative information for the prior
twelve-month period, encouraged in IAS 34.21, are not provided. If the business was regarded as ‘highly seasonal’, these
additional disclosures are recommended.
*The valuation of land and buildings acquired had not been completed by the date the interim financial statements were
approved for issue by the Board of Directors. Thus, property, plant and equipment may need to be subsequently adjusted, IFRS 3.B67(a)
with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill prior to 1 June 2022 (one year after the transaction).
Reconciliation of the carrying amount of goodwill at the beginning and end of the reporting period is presented below:
Goodwill
€000
Gross carrying amount
At 1 January 2021 2,281 IFRS 3.B67(d)(i)
Impairment losses recognised during the reporting period (Note 7) 1,541 IFRS 3.B67(d)(v)
At the date of the acquisition, the fair value of the trade receivables was €1,763,000. The carrying amount of IFRS 3.B64(h)
trade receivables is €1,775,000. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is the result
of discounting over the expected timing of the cash collection and an adjustment for counterparty credit risk.
The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at IFRS 3.28B
the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and
adjusted to reflect the unfavourable terms of the lease relative to market terms.
From the date of acquisition, Electra has contributed €1,151,500 of revenue and €242,000 to the net profit IFRS 3.B64(q)(i)
before tax from the continuing operations of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of IFRS 3.B64(q)(ii)
the year, revenue from continuing operations would have been €110,073,000 and the profit from continuing
operations for the period would have been €3,181,000.
The goodwill recognised is primarily attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining IFRS 3.B64(e)
IFRS 3.B64(k)
the assets and activities of Electra with those of the Group. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax
purposes.
Transaction costs of €90,000 have been expensed and are included in Administrative expenses in the IFRS 3.B64(m)
statement of profit or loss and are part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.
Information on prior year acquisition
On 26 May 2020, the Group acquired 80% of the voting shares of Extinguishers Limited, an unlisted company
based in Euroland, specialising in the manufacture of fire-retardant fabrics. The consideration paid included
an element of contingent consideration. Refer to Note 12 for adjustments to the related liability in the current
period.
Commentary
IAS 34.16A(i) requires an entity to disclose all the information required by IFRS 3 in an interim financial report. This
requirement applies not only for those effected during the current interim period, but also to business combinations
after the reporting period but before the interim financial report is authorised for issue (IFRS 3.59(b), IFRS 3.B66).
According to IFRS 3 (IFRS 3.28B), lease liabilities of acquirees are to be measured at the present value of the remaining
lease payments as if the acquired lease is a new lease at the acquisition date. That is, the acquirer applies IFRS 16’s
initial measurement provisions using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the acquisition date.
Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the corresponding lease liabilities, adjusted to reflect the
favourable or unfavourable terms of the leases when compared with market terms. Because the off-market nature of
leases are captured in the right-of-use assets, the acquirer does not separately recognise intangible assets or liabilities
for favourable or unfavourable lease terms relative to market.
Information on business combinations in the comparative period is typically not necessary as it only repeats information
that was reported in the notes to the most recent annual financial statements. However, in some cases, it would
be necessary to provide information about business combinations in a comparative period if, for example, there is
a revision of previously disclosed fair values. The Group provided brief information about its business combination in
the comparative period as it is relevant to understanding the settlement of the contingent consideration in the current
period.
On 1 October 2020, the Group publicly announced the decision of its Board of Directors to sell Hose Limited,
a wholly owned subsidiary. On 14 November 2020, the shareholders of the Company approved the plan
to sell. At 31 December 2020, Hose Limited was classified as a disposal group held for sale and as a
discontinued operation. The business of Hose Limited represented the entirety of the Group’s Rubber
Equipment operating segment until 14 November 2020. With Hose Limited being classified as discontinued
operations, the Rubber Equipment segment is no longer presented in the segment note. The sale of Hose
Limited was completed on 28 February 2021 for €1,000,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of €885,000. The
results of Hose limited for the period are presented below:

Commentary
Condensed interim reporting under IAS 34 is based on the most recent annual financial statements. Providing
the disclosures required by the relevant standards (in this case, IFRS 5) for transactions and events occurring
after the end of the most recent annual financial statements, is consistent with that premise.
The Group elected to present earnings per share (EPS) from discontinued operations in the notes. Alternatively,
it could have presented those figures in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The discontinued operations only had operating and financing cash flows for the first two months of 2021 and
the Group has presented these cash flows separately in the table above.
lives is based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount
for the different cash generating units were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2020.
The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other
factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. As at 30 June 2021, the market capitalisation of IAS 36.130(a),(d)
the Group was below the book value of its equity, indicating a potential impairment of goodwill. In addition,
the overall decline in construction and development activities around the world, as well as ongoing economic
uncertainty, have led to a decreased demand in the fire prevention equipment and electronics units. As a
result, management performed an impairment test as at 30 June 2021 for the electronics and fire prevention
IAS 36.130(e)
equipment segments, which are the cash generating units with goodwill. The investment property segment
did not have any goodwill.
Electronics cash-generating unit
The Group used the cash-generating unit’s value-in-use to determine the recoverable amount, which exceeded IAS 36.134(d)(iii)
the carrying amount. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the decreased demand for products IAS 36.134(d)(iv)
IAS 36.134(d)(v)
and services and a pre-tax discount rate of 15.6% (31 December 2020: 15.5%) was applied. Cash flows IAS 36.130(g)
beyond the five-year period have been extrapolated using a 2.5% growth rate (31 December 2020: 3.0%).
All other assumptions remained consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2020. As a result of the updated analysis, management did not identify an impairment
for this cash-generating unit to which goodwill of €260,000 is allocated.
Fire prevention equipment cash-generating unit
The Group used the cash-generating unit’s value-in-use, as this is higher than fair value less costs of disposal, IAS 36.130 (e)
to determine the recoverable amount of €59,099,000. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect IAS 36.134(d)(iii)
IAS 36.134(d)(iv)
the decreased demand for products and services and a pre-tax discount rate of 15.5% (31 December 2020: IAS 36.134(d)(v)
14.4%) was applied. Cash flows beyond the five-year period have been extrapolated using a 2.6% growth rate IAS 36.126(a)
(31 December 2020: 4.1%). All other assumptions remained consistent with those disclosed in the annual IAS 36.130(g)
previously carried at €2,231,000. The impairment charge is recorded within administrative expenses in
the statement of profit or loss.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the electronics unit, there are no significant changes to the IAS 36.134(f)
sensitivity information disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2020.
For the fire prevention equipment unit, the estimated recoverable amount is equal to its carrying value. IAS 36.134(f)(i)
Consequently, any adverse change in a key assumption could result in a further impairment loss. The key
assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:
Growth rate assumptions — Rates are based on published industry research. These have been updated for
the current economic outlook. The revised growth rate of 2.6% reflects the effect of a significant industry
patent that was acquired during the year ended 31 December 2020. However, given the economic
uncertainty, reductions in growth estimates may be necessary in the future.
7. Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives continued
Discount rate — The discount rate has been adjusted to reflect the current market assessment of the risks
specific to the fire prevention equipment unit, and was estimated based on the weighted average cost of
capital for the Group. This rate was further adjusted to reflect the market assessment of risks specific to
the fire prevention equipment unit for which future estimates of cash flows have not been adjusted. Further
changes to the discount rate may be necessary in the future to reflect changing risks for the industry and
changes to the weighted average cost of capital.
Commentary
Under IAS 34.15B(b), the recognition of a loss from impairments and the reversal of such impairments is required to
be disclosed ’if they are significant for the understanding of the financial position and the performance of the entity’.
The content and format of such disclosures are not specified. There is no explicit requirement to disclose headroom
in the event of reasonably possible impairments (as in IAS 36.134(f)), but an entity may be required to provide
such disclosures ”if significant to an understanding of the changes since the end of the last annual reporting period”
(IAS 34.15).
For instance, for impairment in the fire prevention equipment cash generating unit, the Group has chosen to provide
disclosures generally in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Additional sensitivity disclosures have not been
provided by the Group since the estimated recoverable amount, after recognition of the impairment loss in the current
period, is equal to the carrying value, so any adverse change in assumptions could result in an impairment loss.
If no impairment charge was recognised for a cash-generating unit, but it is believed that a reasonably possible change
in the key assumptions may lead to an impairment sensitivity disclosures similar to those required by IAS 36 may be
appropriate. Even though IAS 34 does not specifically require sensitivity disclosures, IAS 34.15 requires disclosure of
significant events.
Furthermore, considering the decline in the relevant markets and the current economic uncertainties, the Group
has found it useful to provide additional information about the impairment tests performed for the electronics cash
generating unit. These disclosures are based on the requirement in IAS 36.134 applicable in the case of complete
interim financial statements.
Impairments of goodwill in interim periods cannot be reversed by a subsequent impairment test later in the annual
reporting period (paragraph 8 of IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment)
Covid-19 commentary
As the current environment is uncertain, it is important that entities provide detailed disclosure of the assumptions
made, the evidence they are based on and the impact of a change in the key assumptions (sensitivity analysis). This will
equally apply to impairment tests performed at an interim date.
Given the inherent level of uncertainty and the sensitivity of judgements and estimates, disclosures of the key
assumptions used, and judgements made in estimating recoverable amounts will be important.
It is likely that the Covid-19 pandemic continues to be a trigger that requires an entity to perform an impairment test in
accordance with IAS 36. Entities will need to assess the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for
the different CGUs. Key inputs to both the value in use and the fair value less cost of disposal models used to undertake
the impairment assessment should be reassessed to factor in any impact.
8. Income tax
The Group calculates the period income tax expense using the tax rate that would be applicable to the IAS 34.16A(c)
expected total annual earnings. The major components of income tax expense in the interim condensed
consolidated statement of profit or loss are:
For the six months

Current income tax expense 249 934
Deferred income tax expense relating to origination and reversal of temporary

Income tax expense recognised in statement of profit or loss 389 1,194
Commentary
IAS 34.16A(c) requires the Group to disclose the nature and amount of items affecting net income that are unusual
because of their nature, size or incidence. The Group has disclosed the major components of its income tax expense
as this provides useful information to understand the amount reported in the interim condensed consolidated statement
of profit or loss.
Covid-19 commentary
As a measure to assist entities during the Covid-19 pandemic, economic stimulus packages in some jurisdictions have
included income tax concessions and other rebates. If entities are active in such a jurisdiction, the following disclosures
may also be required, especially if there are significant changes from the annual financial statements:
• An explanation of changes in the applicable tax rate compared to the prior period
• The amount and expiry date of any tax losses carried forward
• The nature of evidence supporting the recognition of deferred tax assets when the entity has suffered a loss in the
current period
The requirements of IAS 34.30(c) allow that income tax expense is recognised in each interim period based on the best
estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The method applied to
estimate this tax expense including the uncertainty of this estimate caused by the Covid-19 pandemic may need to be
disclosed.
Business disruption resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic may lead to an entity recognising asset impairments or
forecasting future losses. These circumstances may introduce new uncertainties that an entity must consider in its
analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Entities should update their projections of income for recent events.
Tax losses that were otherwise expected to be utilised in the near term should be reviewed to determine if they might
expire unutilised and how this would impact management's judgement on the amount of deferred tax asset to be
recognised. Entities should further consider whether they need to provide additional disclosures to more fully explain
the use of estimates or management's judgement in reaching its conclusions on the amount of unrecognised deferred
tax assets. Such judgements may include whether the tax laws were substantively enacted as of the reporting date, and
the determination of the accounting for income tax credits.
In applying judgement, entities should consider IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. Although IFRIC 23
was not specifically developed to deal with a scenario such as the Covid-19 pandemic, it, nonetheless, provides helpful
guidance to consider in accounting for the uncertainties that exist with respect to the application of complex tax
legislation that was newly issued in response to the pandemic. It requires an entity to consider whether it is probable
that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If the entity concludes that the position is not probable
of being accepted, the effect of the uncertainty needs to be reflected in the entity’s accounting for income taxes.
Commentary
Condensed interim reporting under IAS 34 is intended to provide an update on the most recent annual financial
statements. The provision of disclosures required by the relevant standards (in this case, IAS 1) in the condensed interim
financial statements in response to transactions and events occurring after the most recent annual financial statements,
is consistent with this premise. An analysis of the items in other comprehensive income does not always need to be
provided; the decision must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The need for the inclusion of such disclosures in interim
financial statements is debatable. They have, nevertheless, been included here for illustrative purpose.
The purpose of Note 9 is to provide an analysis of items presented net in other comprehensive income in the statement
of comprehensive income. This analysis does not apply to the other items of other comprehensive income, as they are
either not reclassified to profit or loss or reclassification adjustments did not occur during the period. The Group decided
to present the movements on a pre-tax basis with related tax effects in a separate table to enhance readability. Other
forms of presentation of the gross movements and related tax effects would be acceptable.
Commentary
In accordance with IAS 34.15B(d), the Group has disclosed the acquisitions and disposals of property, plant and
equipment during the interim period, as they are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position
and financial performance during the interim period.
Covid-19 commentary
Many entities will have to assess property, plant and equipment for impairment for the purpose of interim reporting.
Entities may need to update their assumptions about the future use of an asset, specifically the remaining useful life and
residual values. Property, plant and equipment may be under-utilised or idled for a period, which may lead entities to
change plans and require a reassessment of the useful life estimates used in the depreciation calculations. Additionally, a
weak economy may affect the residual value of property, plant and equipment that will also need to be included in any
estimates of depreciation expense.
11. Inventories
During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group wrote down €700,000 (30 June 2020: €567,000) of IAS 34.15B(a)
inventories that had been damaged by flooding. This expense is included in other operating expenses in the
IAS 37.33
statement of profit or loss. The financial loss resulting from the flooding is likely to be covered by the Group’s
insurance policy. However, as at 30 June 2021, the insurance company’s investigations were still ongoing.
Consequently, it is not virtually certain that the Group will receive the proceeds under the insurance policy.
Commentary
In accordance with IAS 34.15B(a), the Group has disclosed the write-down of inventory as it is significant to understanding
the financial performance of the Group during the interim period.
Covid-19 commentary
Inventories might need to be written down to their net realisable value because of reduced movement in inventory, lower
commodity prices, or inventory obsolescence due to lower-than-expected sales. IAS 2 Inventories requires that fixed
production overheads are included in the cost of inventory based on normal production capacity. Reduced production might
affect the extent to which overheads can be included in the cost of inventory.
Commentary
The Group determined that financial instruments, in general, and its hedge instruments, in particular, are relevant and
significant for the users of its financial statements. Therefore, the Group has included the above disclosure in the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements, as per IAS 34.16A(c), to provide an overview of the financial instruments
held by the Group.
(see Note 5), a portion of the consideration was determined to be contingent, based on the performance of
the acquired entity.
As at 31 December 2020, the key performance indicators of Extinguishers Limited showed that it was highly
probable that the target would be achieved due to a significant expansion of the business and the synergies
realised. The fair value of the contingent consideration determined at 31 December 2020 reflected this
development, amongst other factors and a fair value adjustment was recognised through profit or loss.
At 30 April 2021, a total of €1,125,000 was paid out under this arrangement. A reconciliation of the fair
value of the contingent consideration liability is provided below:
€000
Initial fair value of the contingent consideration at acquisition date 714 IFRS 13.93(e)
Unrealised fair value changes recognised in profit or loss during year ended 31 December 2020 358 IFRS 13.93(f)
Adjustments to the contingent liability from acquisition on 26 May 2020 to the date it was settled on 30 April
2021 were recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The initial fair value of the consideration of €714,000
was included in cash flows from investing activities, the remainder, €411,000, has been recognised in cash
flows from operating activities. The fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability increased due to improved performance of Extinguishers
Limited compared to the initial forecast.
Commentary
As required by IAS 34.16A(i), the Group has made disclosures about the contingent consideration liability incurred on
the business combination in 2020.
The Group has split the settlement of this contingent consideration liability in the statement of cash flows. The payment of
the acquisition date fair value was classified as a cash flow from investing activities, while the additional payment, which
was dependent on meeting performance targets was classified as a cash flow from operating activities. Under paragraph 16
of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position
are eligible for classification as investing activities. Therefore, cash payments for any contingent consideration in excess of
the amount recorded on the acquisition date is not classified as investing activities because that incremental amount was not
necessary to obtain control and was not recognised as an asset.
Covid-19 commentary
Entities may obtain additional financing, amend the terms of existing debt agreements or obtain waivers if they no longer
satisfy debt covenants. In such cases, they will need to consider the guidance provided in IFRS 9 to determine whether
any changes to existing contractual arrangements represent a substantial modification or, potentially, a contract
extinguishment, which would have accounting implications in each case. Entities need to determine whether a breach of
covenants will require non-current liabilities being reclassified as current liabilities in the interim financial statements.
Commentary
The Group’s accounting policy is to designate all of the forward contracts as a hedging instrument. Under IFRS 9.6.4(b),
an entity may separate the forward element and spot element of a forward contract and designate as the hedging
instrument only the change in the value of the spot element. In such cases, the forward element is recognised in OCI
and accumulated in a separate component of equity under cost of hedging reserve. Refer to Good Group (International)
Limited 31 December 2020 for illustration of this approach.
Commentary
The Group determined the risk management activities as relevant and significant for the users of its financial statements.
Therefore, the Group has included the above disclosure in the interim financial statements, as per IAS 34.16A(c). These
disclosures will vary depending on the nature of the entity.
Covid-19 commentary
Hedging
Under the current circumstances, an entity’s transactions may be postponed or cancelled, or occur in significantly lower
volumes than initially forecast. If the entity designated such transactions as a hedged forecast transaction in a cash flow
hedge, it would need to consider whether the transaction was still a ‘highly probable forecast transaction’.
That is, if the Covid-19 pandemic affects the probability of hedged forecast transactions occurring and/or the time period
designated at the inception of a hedge, an entity would need to determine whether it can continue to apply hedge
accounting to the forecast transaction or a proportion of it, and for continuing hedges whether any additional
ineffectiveness has arisen.
If an entity determines that a forecast transaction is no longer highly probable, but still expected to occur, the entity must
discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
If an entity determines that the timing of a forecast transaction has changed, and the cash flows are now expected to
occur at a different time than initially forecast, the outcome would depend on the nature of the hedged item and how the
hedge relationship was documented and judgement will be needed in considering the appropriate accounting treatment.
If an entity determines that a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, in addition to discontinuing hedge
accounting prospectively, it must immediately reclassify to profit or loss any accumulated gain or loss on the hedging
instrument that has been recognised in other comprehensive income.

Commentary
IAS 34.16A(j) requires the Group to disclose information about the fair values for each class of financial assets
and financial liabilities as set out in IFRS 7.25, 26, 28 and 30 in a way that permits it to be compared with its
carrying amount. As per IFRS 7.29, fair value disclosures are not required when the carrying amount is a reasonable
approximation of fair value (e.g., short-term trade receivables and payables), or for a contract containing discretionary
participation features (as described in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts) if the fair value of those features cannot be measured
reliably or lease liabilities. The Group does not provide the disclosures required by IFRS 7.28 as the fair values of all the
financial assets and financial liabilities recognised during the period were not different from the transaction prices at the
date of initial recognition.
Commentary
IAS 34.16A(j) requires disclosures about fair values of financial instruments as set out in paragraphs 91-93(h), 94-96,
98 and 99 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
Under IFRS 13.91, an entity is required to disclose information that helps users of the financial statements to assess:
• The valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis after initial recognition
• The effect of fair value measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for recurring fair value
measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3)
To meet this objective, IFRS 13.92 states that an entity needs to consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the
disclosure requirements, how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements, how much aggregation
to undertake and whether users of the financial statements need additional information to evaluate the quantitative
information disclosed.
The Group has provided the disclosures required by IAS 34.16A(j) in this section of the notes. The information for the
comparative period was not provided as this is available in the annual financial statements for 2020. In addition, certain
disclosures, like the description of the valuation processes (IFRS 13.93(g)) and the valuation techniques and the inputs
used (IFRS 13.93(d)) have not been provided in this note. These disclosures are also available in the annual financial
statements for 2020 and the Group elected to just state in this note that there were no changes during the interim period.
IFRS 13.99 requires an entity to present the quantitative disclosures of IFRS 13 to be included in a tabular format,
unless another format is more appropriate. The Group included the quantitative disclosures in a tabular format.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the period, and no IAS 34.15B(k)

Commentary
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the most recent annual financial statements. The
provision of the disclosures required by the relevant standards (in this case, IAS 7) in the interim condensed consolidated
financial statements in response to transactions and events occurring after the end of the most recent annual financial
statements, is consistent with that premise.
The Group has disclosed the breakdown of the cash and cash equivalent balance as it provides further useful information

of certain product lines of Extinguishers Limited. Expenditures of €200,000 to complete the restructuring
in February 2021 were charged against the provision and the remaining unused amount of €266,000 was
reversed and is included within other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss where the creation
of the provision was initially recorded. The reversal arises from contract termination costs being lower than
expected.
Commentary
In accordance with IAS 34.16A(e), the Group has disclosed the number of share options granted to senior executives
for the six months ended 30 June 2021 together with the terms of the options, as this is considered to be a significant

authorisation of these interim financial statements, it is not practicable to determine the likelihood of
the outcome of the action or state the timing of the payment, if any.
Covid-19 commentary
As the Covid-19 pandemic evolves, governments are implementing additional measures to address the resulting public
health issues and the economic impact. Entities need to assess if they are affected, or expect to be impacted, by
developments and measures taken after the end of their reporting period. A critical judgement and evaluation
management needs to make is whether and, if so, what these events provide of evidence of conditions that existed at the
end of the reporting period for the entity’s activities or their assets and liabilities.
If management concludes an event is a non-adjusting event, but the impact of it is material, the entity is required by
IAS 34.16A(h) to disclose the nature of the event and an estimate of its financial effect unless it is impractical to do so.
