Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Fashion Retail Georgia LLC (the “Company”), which
comprise the statement of financial position as of 31 March 2018, and the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position
of the Company as of 31 March 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”).
Other matters
We draw attention to note 18 to the financial statements, which describes the critical judgments made
by management in applying accounting policies.
During the course of its operations the Company conducts various transactions with entities under
common control and ultimate controlling party (supply of goods, borrowings without stated repayment
dates). The Company considers these transactions to have been made on non-commercial terms at the
behest and instruction of the ultimate controlling party, and has accounted for these transactions as
those conducted with owners, by recording any gains arising on these transaction as credit to equity
(capital contribution).
The comparative financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2017
prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards were not audited.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 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.
Obtain 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.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude 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 the Company to cease to continue
as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and 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 deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.

The office address of the Company is: 50/18 Ketevan Tsamebuli Avenue, Tbilisi, Georgia.
2 Basis of preparation
These financial statements constitute separate financial statements of the Company prepared in
accordance with IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements. These separate financial statements were
prepared in addition to consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and
for the year ended 31 March 2018, prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements, for the purpose of publication in accordance with the regulations of the Service for
Accounting, Reporting and Auditing Supervision (SARAS) of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia. The
consolidated financial statements may be obtained at the following address: 50/18 Ketevan Tsamebuli
Avenue, Tbilisi, Georgia.
These financial statements are presented in thousand Georgian lari (unless otherwise stated), since
management believes that this currency is more useful for the users of these financial statements. All
financial information presented in thousand Georgian lari has been rounded to the nearest thousand lari.
The nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below. Although these new standards and
amendments are applied for the first time in 2017, they did not have a material impact on the annual
financial statements of the Company.
New and revised standards and interpretations that are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017
Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7 Statements of Cash Flows)
The amendments to IAS 7, effective 1 January 2017, require the Company to provide disclosures about
the changes in liabilities from financing activities. The Company categorizes those changes into
changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes with further sub-categories as required by IAS.
Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s
accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement.
Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the
Company’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations
have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
The Company’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard on the Company’s
financial statements. The new standard is required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2018.
IFRS 15 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Company’s
management have not yet assessed the impact of IFRS 15 on these financial statements.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 presents new requirements and amendments to the accounting of leases. IFRS 16 will require
lessees to account for leases “on-balance sheet” by recognizing a “right-of-use” asset and a lease
liability.
IFRS 16 also:
sets requirements on how to account for the asset and liability, including complexities such as
non-lease elements, variable lease payments and option periods;
provides exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low value assets;
IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is
permitted provided IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is also applied. The Company’s
management have not yet assessed the impact of IFRS 16 on these financial statements.
IFRIC 22 addresses this issue by clarifying that the date of the transaction for the purpose of
determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or
part of it) is the date on which the Company initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary
liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.
If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Company shall determine a date of the
transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
IFRIC 22 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier
application is permitted.
The concepts of accounting policy were applied to each period presented in the financial statements.
Refer to note 26 for the effect of the transfer to IFRSs on the financial statements.
The significant accounting policies applied for the preparation of the financial statements are presented
below.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement and retranslation of monetary items, are included in
profit or loss for the period.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property and equipment is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognized in profit or loss.
Expenditure to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for
separately is capitalized with the carrying amount of the component being written off. Other subsequent
expenditure is capitalized if future economic benefits will arise from the expenditure. All other
expenditure, including repair and maintenance, is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Expenditure related to the improvement of leasehold properties are recognized as an item of property
and equipment and are presented separately and is depreciated over the useful life of the asset or the
term of the leasehold agreement, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation is charged to the statement of profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the individual assets. Depreciation commences when assets are available for use. The
annual depreciation rates based on estimated useful lives are as follows:
Vehicles - 25%
Subsequent accounting for assets held under finance lease agreements, i.e. depreciation methods and
useful lives, correspond to those applied to comparable assets which are legally owned by the
Company. The corresponding obligation under finance lease is reduced by lease payments less finance
charges, which are expensed to finance costs. The interest element of leasing payments represents a
constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to profit or loss over the period of
the lease.
All other leases are treated as operating leases. Payments on operating lease agreements are
recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis. Associated costs, such as maintenance and
insurance, are expensed as incurred.
3.5 Inventories
Inventories are assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the form of materials or
supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. Items such as spare
parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are also recognized as inventories unless they meet
the definition of property and equipment.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling
expenses. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure
incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expire.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs, except
for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured
initially at fair value.
held-to-maturity investments.
Financial assets are assigned to different categories on initial recognition, depending on the
characteristics of the instrument and its purpose. A financial instrument's category is relevant for the
way it is measured and whether any resulting income and expenses are recognized in profit or loss or in
Generally, the Company recognizes all financial assets using settlement date accounting. An
assessment of whether a financial asset is impaired is made at least at each reporting date. All income
and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented within
finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which
is presented within other expenses.
The balance of the allowance is adjusted by recording a charge or income to profit or loss of the
reporting period. Any amount written-off with respect to customer account balances is charged against
the existing allowance for doubtful accounts. All accounts receivable for which collection is not
considered probable are written-off.
3.7 Impairment
Impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating
unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss
recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which
case any reversal of impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment
loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is
reduced through the use of an allowance account.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss
to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not
exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
3.8 Equity
Charter capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Accumulated profit or loss includes all current and prior period retained profits or accumulated losses.
Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
The new model (the “Estonian model of corporate taxation”) implies zero corporate tax rate on retained
earnings and a 15% corporate tax rate on distributed earnings, compared to the previous model of 15%
tax rate charged to the company’s profit before tax, regardless of profit retention or distribution. As a
result of changes, starting 1 January 2017 companies will pay corporate income tax on earnings
distribution (profit distributed to shareholders as dividends) and on individual transactions that may be
considered as indirect distribution of earnings (benefits, gifts, payments, non-arm’s length cross-border
transactions with related parties, expenses not related to economic activities, etc).
For tax payable on any dividends declared and paid in 2017 and later, from earnings accumulated prior
to 2016, tax credit is available for corporate income tax paid on undistributed earnings under the
previous model.
According to the amended concept of corporate income taxation, there will be no temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax
bases. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities, as defined in IAS 12 Income Taxes, are not formed
subsequent to 1 January 2017.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated
with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be
sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are
expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part
of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax
liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its
assets and liabilities.
Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company
and
Interest income
Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the
effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Depreciation expense and impairment losses have been charged to administrative expenses.
Additions in leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures represent expenditures on newly opened
stores.
During the year ended 31 March 2017 the Company has recognized impairment losses in respect of
leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer and other equipment related to a number of
stores representing separate cash-generating units:
Impairment losses have been recognized in respect of the following cash-generating units:

in the amount of 426 thousand Georgian lari, previously recognized on certain items of furniture and
fixtures, was reversed, as these assets were moved from warehouses to open stores. Based on
performance of these stores, the value in use of these items was increased.

All amounts are short-term. The net carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable
approximation of fair value.
The Company has provided fully for all receivables over 365 days because historical experience is that
receivables that are past due beyond 365 days are generally not recoverable. As of 31 March 2018
individual items of trade receivables at the gross carrying amount of Georgian lari 123 thousand (31
March 2017: Georgian lari 123 thousand) were impaired and provided for. The ageing analysis of these
receivables is disclosed below:
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable the Company considers any change in the
repayment pattern from the debtor from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The
concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer range being large and unrelated. Accordingly,
the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for
doubtful debts.
Refer to note 20 for the currencies in which the trade and other receivables are denominated.
Refer to note 20 for the currencies in which the cash and bank balances are denominated.
In addition, the group companies receive cash contributions from the ultimate controlling party, on a
non-interest bearing unsecured financing modality, without stated repayment dates, terms or schedule.
No payments have been made or are expected to be made by the Company in the foreseeable future to
repay these contributions.
The Company considers these transactions to have been made on non-commercial terms at the behest
and instruction of the ultimate controlling party, and has accounted for these transactions as those
conducted with owners, by recording gains arising on these transaction as credit to equity (capital
contribution). Where, however a payment has been made to an entity under common control in
connection such supplies of goods or services previously considered as contribution to equity, such
transfer of cash and cash equivalents have been accounted for as debit to equity (withdrawal of capital
contribution).

Deferred income taxes for the year ended 31 March 2017 can be summarized as follows:
On 1 January 2017 amendments to the Tax Code of Georgia entered into force, affecting the model of
corporate income taxation (refer to note 3.9). As a result of changes, starting from 1 January 2017
companies will pay corporate income tax on earnings distribution (profit distributed to shareholders as
dividends) and on individual transactions that may be considered as indirect distribution of earnings
(benefits, gifts, payments, non-arm’s length cross-border transactions with related parties, expenses not
related to economic activities, etc). According to the amended concept of taxation, there will be no
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial
position and their tax bases.
The change has had an immediate impact on deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
(“deferred taxes”) attributable to previously recognized temporary differences arising from prior periods.
The Company has re-measured its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of 1 January 2017 and has fully
released the unutilisable portion of the deferred tax assets and liabilities (“deferred tax adjustments”).
Management has estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. Management believes that
estimated useful lives of the property and equipment are not materially different from economical lives of
those assets. If actual useful lives of property and equipment are different from estimations, financial
statements may be materially different.
Recoverable amounts for property and equipment
Management has estimated the recoverable amounts of its property and equipment and has recognized
impairment loss as the difference between assets' carrying amounts and their recoverable amounts.
These estimations are based on a number of assumptions related to the performance of various cash-
generating units, the weighted average cost of the capital for the Company and others, described in
note 4. If actual results are different from these assumptions, financial statements may be materially
different.
During the course of its operations the Company conducts various transactions with entities under
common control, related mainly to supply of equipment and shop fittings to the group companies from
entities under common control for which no stated repayment terms or schedules exist or can be
forecasted by the Company management.
Company receives cash contributions from the ultimate controlling party, on a non-interest bearing
unsecured financing modality, without stated repayment dates, terms or schedule. No payments have
been made or are expected to be made by the Company in the foreseeable future to repay these
contributions.
During the year ended 31 March 2018, the Company has obtained a loan from a related party (refer to
note 9) at a preferential rate and with extended repayment period. Differences arise between the
nominal amount of the loan and its fair value, determined based on cash flows discounted at 8.5%, was
recognized as capital contribution (element of equity).
Management will be successful in eliminating obsolete stock balances through warehouse and
outlet sales within the next 12 months, without incurring losses in excess of estimated inventory
provision as of 31 March 2018.
Ultimate controlling party of the Company will not demand immediate and full repayment of
financial contributions previously made to the Company’s operations in Georgia in form of non-
interest bearing cash borrowings, which do not have any stated repayment terms and maturity
dates and are considered by Company management as additional capital contributions to the
equity of the Company (refer to note 8.1).

a) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to
currency risk,, which result from both its operating and investing activities.
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Georgian lari. Exposures to currency exchange
rates arise from the Company’s overseas sales and purchases, which are primarily denominated in US
dollars. British Pound and Euro. The Company also has a US dollar loan, which has been used to fund
the purchases and daily operations.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Company to currency
risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated into

change in foreign currency rates.
If Georgian lari had strengthened against US dollar, British Pound and Euro by 15% (2017: 15%) then
this would have had the following impact:

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas
transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Company’s
exposure to currency risk.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company. The effect of this risk for the Company arises from different financial
instruments, such as accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the
carrying amounts of the following financial instruments:
2,269 4,430
At the reporting date there was significant concentration of credit risk in respect of trade and other
receivables, as they are from related parties.
The credit risk for bank balances is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks.
The Company’s policy is to run a prudent liquidity management policy by means of holding sufficient
cash and bank balances, as well as highly liquid assets for making all operational and debt service
related payments when those become due.
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial
liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash
flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity
risk, particularly its cash resources and trade receivables. The Company’s cash resources and trade
receivables less than the current cash outflow requirements.
Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
Fair value less costs of disposal for individual assets were determined by the market method, using
inputs in Level 2 and Level 3 of fair value hierarchy. Where required, these inputs were adjusted for
"forced sales", in cases where no market exists for similar assets, i.e. there are no willing market
participants. Special assumptions underlying the forced sale estimations include the following:
Demand elasticity of the asset;
Cost of financing of potential market participant, based on average market interest rates.
Management assesses the Company’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall
financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. This takes into account the subordination levels
of the Company’s various classes of debt.
The amounts managed as capital by the Company for the reporting periods under review are
summarized as follows:
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and:

Management of the Company believes that in the current conditions appropriate measures are
implemented in order to ensure economic stability of the Company.
23.2 Insurance
The Georgian insurance industry is in its development stage and many forms of insurance protection
common in other parts of the world are not yet generally available in Georgia. The Company does not
have full coverage for its plant facilities, business interruption, or third party liability in respect of property
or environmental damage arising from accidents on the Company property or relating to the Company
operations. Until the Company obtains adequate insurance coverage, there is a risk that the loss or
destruction of certain assets or environmental damage could have a materially adverse effect on the
Company’s operations and financial position.
23.3 Taxes
The taxation system in Georgia is relatively new and is characterized by frequently changing legislation,
which is often subject to interpretation. Often differing interpretations exist among various taxation
authorities and jurisdictions. Taxes are subject to review and investigations by tax authorities, which are
enabled by law to impose severe fines and penalties.
These facts may create tax risks in Georgia substantially more than in other developed countries.
Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax
legislation. However, the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be
significant.
