ACCOUNTING POLICIES USED FOR THE COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Guideline for annual reporting of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board for small entities.
Valuation of assets and liabilities and determination of the result takes place under the historical cost convention . Unless presented otherwise at the relevant principle for the specific balance sheet item, assets and liabilities are presented at nominal value.

Changes in accounting policies
The implementation of the EU Financial Reporting Directive in Dutch law (Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code) is enforced through the "Uitvoeringswet richtlijn jaarrekening" on 1 November 2015. Application of the changes in Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code is mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

PRINCIPLES OF VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured initially at cost, less investment grants. This cost is the cost of acquisition or production which comprises; its purchase price including any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use.
Subsequent to initial recognition , intangible assets are measured at cost (being either acquisition cost or manufacturing cost) less investment grants, accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Amortisation is calculated using a fixed percentage of the cost minus any investment grants and taking into account the residual value.
The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
Part of the report of the auditors - 10 - Independent auditor's report issued
Accord Healthcare B.V. Rijsbergen
bEJDRV
Amortisation starts when assets become operational. If, over a period of time, a change in the amortisation method, estimated useful life and/or the residual value has occurred, the effect of these changes in estimate are accounted for on a prospective basis and treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets in use by the company
Tangible fixed assets in use by the company are measured initially at cost, less investment grants. This cost is the cost of acquisition or production and includes all expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location end condition necessary for its intended use other expenses on preparing the asset for its intended use.
Subsequently to initial recognition, tangible fixed assets in use by the company are measured at cost (being either acquisition cost or manufacturing costs) less investment grants, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated using a fixed percentage of the cost minus any investment grants and taking into account the residual value.
The estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
Depreciation starts when assets become operational. If, over a period of time, a change in the depreciation method, estimated useful life and/or the residual value has occurred, the effect of these changes in estimate are accounted for on a prospective basis and treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost comprises the cost of acquisition or production and includes all expenditures directly attributable to bringing the inventories to current location and present state.
The lower net realisable value is determined by an individual assessment of the inventories. The net realisable value is based on the expected selling price less selling costs to be incurred.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provisions or impairments. The provisions are determined by an individual assessment of the receivables. In view of the generally short period to maturity, the fair value and amortised cost of these items tend to be virtually identical to the face value.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are measured at nominal value.
Liabilities
Interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing loans are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently valued at amortised cost. When there are no premiums, discounts or transaction costs, the amortised cost is equal to the nominal value.

PRINCIPLES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE RESULT
Determination of the result
The result is defined as the difference between the revenue from goods delivered and the costs and expenses for that year, valued at historical costs, taking into account the accounting principles mentioned before. Revenues from goods are recognised upon delivery. The cost price of these goods is allocated to the same period. Revenues from services are recognised in proportion to the services rendered. The cost price of these services is allocated to the same period.
Net turnover
The net turnover consists of revenue from the sale of goods during the reporting period net of discounts, rebates and value added taxes.
Cost of sales
Revenues ensuing from the sale of goods are accounted for when all major entitlements to economic benefits as well as all major risks have transferred to the buyer. The cost price of these goods is allocated to the same period.
Depreciation
The depreciation on tangible fixed assets is calculated by using a fixed rate on the acquisition cost or cost of conversion. Gains and losses on disposal of tangible fixed assets are recorded under amortization/depreciation, gains only to the extent that the gain is not capitalised deducted from replacement investments.
Financial result
Period interest charges and similar charges are recognised in the year in which they fall due.
Taxes
Corporate income tax is calculated at the applicable rate on the result for the financial year, taking into account permanent differences between profit calculated according to the financial statements and profit calculated for taxation purposes, and with which deferred tax assets (if applicable) are only valued insofar as their realisation is likely.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To: the shareholders and board of directors of Accord Healthcare B.V. registered at Rijsbergen
A Report on the audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 included in the annual report
Our opinion
We have audited the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 of Accord Healthcare B.V., based in Rijsbergen.
In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Accord Healthcare B.V. as at March 31, 2017, and of its result for the year then ended in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The financial statements comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2017 and the profit and loss account for the year then ended and the notes comprising a summary of the accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for our opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing . Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report.
We are independent of Accord Healthcare B.V. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).
We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
B Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements
Responsibilities of management for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting framework mentioned, management should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion. . . . .

Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all material errors and fraud during our audit.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.
We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.: - identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control ;
- obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control ;
- evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
- concluding on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern;
- evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures; and
- evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit.
