Financial assets
The group's financial assets are primarily trade receivables, cash and
cash equivalents. The group classifies its financial assets in the
following categories: at fair value through profit and loss or at
amortized cost. The group currently does not have any financial assets
at fair value through profit and loss.
Trade receivables and other current receivables
Trade receivables are amount due from customers for services
provided in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables and
other current receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus any
transaction costs. The receivables are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method, if the amortization
effect is material, less provision for impairment based on expected
credit losses. The group has an expected credit loss model for trade
receivables, whereby expected credit losses are recognized based on
ageing categories of trade receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and the equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks
and other short-term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Derivatives are
recognized initially at fair value. Loans, borrowings and payables are
recognized at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction
costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
costs using the effective interest method. Finance charges, including
premium payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs,
are accounted for on an accrual basis in the income statement using
the effective interest method and are included within the carrying
amount of the instrument.
Trade creditors and other payables
Payables are measured at their nominal amount when the effect of
discounting is not material.
Income tax and deferred tax
Income tax consists of tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Tax is
recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates
to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the basis of
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities in the financial statement and their tax basis, together with
tax losses carried forward at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are calculated based on the tax rates and tax legislation
that are expected to apply when the assets are realized or the liabilities
are settled, based on the tax rates and tax legislation that have been
enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profits will be available, against which the assets can be
utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when
the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by
the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. The companies
included in the consolidated financial statement are subject to income
tax in the countries where they are domiciled.
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has an obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a previous event, it is probable (more likely
than not) that a financial settlement will take place as a result of this
obligation and the size of the amount can be measured reliably. If the
effect is considerable, the provision is calculated by discounting
estimated future cash flows using a discount rate before tax that
reflects the market’s pricing of the time value of money and, if
relevant, risks specifically linked to the obligation.
Restructuring provisions are recognized when the Group has
approved a detailed, formal restructuring plan and the restructuring
has either started or been publicly announced.
Contingent liabilities and assets
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the annual accounts,
except when part of the consideration of a business combination.
Significant contingent liabilities are disclosed, except for contingent
liabilities that are unlikely to be incurred. Contingent assets are not
recognized in the annual accounts but are disclosed if there is a certain
probability that a benefit will be added to the Group.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is generated by delivering relocation services. The group
provides a range of services, including commercial real estate
brokerage, consulting, project management and execution of
relocation services. The group recognizes revenue from rendering of
services over time. Revenue from contracts with customers is
recognized when control of the services are transferred to the customer
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group
expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its
revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the services before
transferring them to the customer. The group is primarily delivering
its services based on time and material used and has in the most cases
legal rights for payment for services delivered at date. The service is
delivered either on an hourly basis, or a fixed price contract. The
performance obligation for sale of services is generally satisfied upon
delivery of the services. The group recognizes as revenue the agreed
transaction price in the contract with the customer in the period when
the group provide the relocation services to a customer. Revenue is
measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Revenues are presented net of value added tax, discounts and after
eliminating sale within the Group. The group considers whether there
are other promises in the contract that are separate performance
obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be
allocated. If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount,
the group estimates the amount of consideration of which it will be
entitled in exchange of transferring the services to the customer. The
variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and
constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue
