f) Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current.
The Company has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements.
5. Accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied by the Company consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements.
a) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, which are valued at fair value .
b) Going concern assumption
These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, not shorter than 12 months from 31 December 2020.
c) Functional currency and presentation currency
The financial data in the financial statements is presented in Polish zloty, rounded to million. The functional currency of the Company is the Polish zloty.
d) Judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with EU IFRS requires the Management Board to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical data and other factors considered as reliable under the circumstances, and their results provide grounds for an assessment of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities which cannot be based directly on any other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies is included in note 45.

(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 13
e) Comparative financial information
Comparative data or data presented in previously published financial statements has been updated, if necessary, in order to reflect presentational changes introduced in the current period. The changes had no impact on previously reported amounts of net income or equity.
f) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Polish zloty at exchange rates effective on a day of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with the balance sheet date into Polish zloty at the average exchange rate quoted by the National Bank of Poland (“NBP”) for that date. The foreign exchange differences arising on translation of transactions denominated in foreign currencies and from the balance sheet valuation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. Non- monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the average NBP exchange rate in effect at the date of the valuation. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated at the average NBP foreign exchange rate in effect at the date the fair value was determined.
g) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified in the following measurement categories depending on the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics:
assets measured at amortised cost - if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of this financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding;
financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of this financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding;
assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - all other financial assets.
Financial assets at initial recognition are measured at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component are initially measured at their transaction price
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include trade and other receivables, loans granted and cash and cash equivalents. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and is presented within Gain/(loss) on investment activities, net.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 14
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments. Financial assets classified to this category are measured at fair value and the subsequent changes in their fair value are recognized in profit or loss. The subsequent changes in their fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in Gain/(loss) on investment activities, net or Finance costs, net depending on the economic substance of hedged transaction.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities include financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include loans and borrowings, issued bonds, trade and other payables and lease liabilities. Interest expense related to these financial liabilities is calculated using the effective interest rate method and is presented within Gain/(loss) on investment activities, net or Finance costs, net.
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments. Financial liabilities classified to this category are measured at fair value and the subsequent changes in their fair value are recognized in profit or loss. The subsequent changes in their fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in Gain/(loss) on investment activities, net or Finance costs, net depending on the economic substance of hedged transaction.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss.
Accounting policies related to gains and losses on investment activities and finance costs are presented in 5u.
(ii) Derivative financial instruments
Hedge accounting
The Company may use derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, foreign exchange call options, interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risks. The Company may use forward currency contracts and foreign exchange call options as cash flow hedges of its exposure to
Cyfrowy Polsat S.A.
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 15
foreign currency risk in forecasted payments as well as interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps for its exposure to interest rate risk.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, the Company’s hedges are classified as cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
For cash flow hedges the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the hedge valuation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the profit or loss.
The amounts recognized within other comprehensive income are transferred from equity to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the related gain or loss is recognized in finance cost or when a forecast sale occurs.
Gains and losses from the settlement of derivative instruments that are designated as, and are effective hedging instruments, are presented in the same position as the impact of the hedged item. The derivative instrument is divided into a current portion and a non-current portion only if a reliable allocation can be made.
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company chose to apply hegde accounting requirements as in IAS 39 instead of those included in IFRS 9.
h) Equity
Ordinary shares
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Preferred shares
Preference share capital is classified as equity, if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Company’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity.
Costs attributable to the issue and public offer of shares
Costs attributable to a new issue of shares are recognized in equity while costs attributable to a public offering of existing shares are recognized directly in finance costs. These costs relating to both new issue and sale of existing shares are recognized on a pro-rata basis in equity and finance costs.

F 16
Share premium
Share premium includes the excess of issue value over the nominal value of shares issued decreased by share issuance- related consulting costs.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings include net result, reserve capital and effect of merger with the Company. Effect of merger is calculated as the difference between assets and liabilities of the merged entity.
In accordance with the provisions of article 396 of the Commercial Companies Code, joint-stock companies are required to transfer at least 8% of their annual net profits to reserve capital until its amount reaches one third of the amount of their share capital. This capital is excluded from distribution, however, it can be utilised to cover accumulated losses.
i) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Property, plant and equipment owned by the Company
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes purchase price of the asset and other expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, including initial delivery as well as handling and storage costs. The cost of purchased assets is reduced by the amounts of vendor discounts, rebates and other similar reductions received.
The cost of self-constructed assets and assets under construction includes all costs incurred for their construction, installation, adoption, and improvement as well as borrowing costs incurred until the date they are accepted for use (or until the reporting date for an asset not yet accepted for use). The above cost also may include, if necessary, the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Investment property
Investment property is defined as a property (land, building, or both) held by the Company to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.
Investment property is measured initially at cost. Once recognized all investment property held by the Company are measured using the cost model as set out in IAS 16. This means that the assets are recognized at cost model as presented in (i) above.
Investment property is removed from the balance sheet on disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits are expected from its disposal.

F 17
(iii) Subsequent costs
Subsequent cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company and the amount of the cost can be measured reliably. Replaced item is derecognised. Other property, plant and equipment related costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative period are as follows:
Buildings and structures
2-61
Years
Reception equipment
2 or 3 or 5
Years
Technical equipment and machinery
2-22
Years
Vehicles
2-10
Years
Other
2-26
Years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of material assets are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
(v) Leased assets
Assets used by the Company under lease, tenancy, rental or similar contracts which meet lease definition, are classified separately in the balance sheet as right-of-use assets.
Equipment that is provided to customers under operating lease agreements are recognized within non-current assets (Reception equipment in the balance sheet) and depreciated as described in point (iv). The set-top boxes are depreciation over a period that exceeds the period the lease agreements are entered into.
Carrying amounts of reception equipment and other items of property, plant and equipment as well as right-of-use assets may be reduced by impairment losses whenever there is uncertainty as to those assets’ revenue generating potential or their future use in the Company’s operations. The accounting policies relating to impairment are presented in note 5n.
Detailed accounting policies related to lease contracts are described in point 5v.

j) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the sum of consideration transferred and payable, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value as at the date of acquisition of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Goodwill is presented at purchase price less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if possible impairment is indicated. Goodwill is allocated to acquirer’s cash-generating units for the purpose of testing for impairment. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
(ii) Other intangible assets
The Company capitalizes costs of IT software internally generated, including employee-related expenses, directly resulting from generating and preparing an asset to be capable of operating, if the Company is able to demonstrate: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; its ability to use or sell the intangible asset; how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Other intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure on existing intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in the profit or loss as incurred.
Amortization is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight- line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for respective intangible assets groups are as follows:
Computer software: 2 – 15 years,
Other: 2 – 7 years.
k) Shares in subsidiaries and associates
Shares in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment losses. Accounting principles relating to impairment testing are presented in note 5n.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. This is generally the case where the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

F 19
l) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of acquisition or production cost of inventories is determined by using the weighted average cost of acquisition or production cost of inventory.
The cost of inventories includes purchase price, costs relating directly to the acquisition and the costs related to preparing the inventory for use or sale.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. In the case of set-top boxes, mobile phones, modems and tablets, which under the business model applied by the Company are sold below cost, the loss on the sale is recorded when transferred to the customer.
The Company creates an allowance for slow-moving or obsolete inventories.
m) Settlements concerning data transfer purchases
Settlements concerning data transfer purchases are recognized in the nominal value upon payments made. The costs are recognized in the income statement based on actual usage of data transmission and contractual. Payments, which will be settled after 12 months from the balance sheet date are presented as other non-current assets.
n) Impairment of assets
(i) Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables and contract assets. The trade receivables are assessed for impairment collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. The expected credit losses are estimated based on historical pattern for overdue receivables collection adjusted with currently available forward-looking information. The credit risk characteristics of contract assets correspond to the credit risk characteristics of trade receivables for a particular type of contract.
The Company considers financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full.
The Company considers a financial asset to be credit impaired when events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred, including significant financial difficulty of the debtor or a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event.
A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(ii) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of intangible assets which are not yet ready for use is assessed at each financial year-end.

(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 20
The Company considers on annual basis whether there are indicators that investments in subsidiaries suffered any impairment (i.a. value of net assets). If so, then the impairment test is performed and the recoverable amount of the investment is estimated based on value-in-use calculations.
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is greater than its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. An impairment loss for a cash-generating unit is initially recognized as a decrease of goodwill assigned to this unit (group of units), then it proportionally reduces the carrying amount of other assets from this unit (group of units).
The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
In the case of assets that do not generate independent cash flows, the value in use is estimated for the smallest identifiable cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss for goodwill cannot be reversed. As for other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss other than that in respect of goodwill is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
o) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution program
The Company is obliged, under applicable regulations, to collect and remit the contribution to the state pension fund. These benefits, according to IAS 19 Employee Benefits represent state plans and are classified as defined contribution plans. Therefore, the Company’s obligations for each period are estimated as the amount of contributions to be remited for a given period.
(ii) Defined benefit program – retirement benefits
The Company is obliged to pay retirement benefits calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Polish labour code. The minimum retirement benefit is as per the labour code provisions at the moment of payment.
The calculation is carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Employee rotation is estimated based on historical experience and forecasts of future employment levels.
Changes in the value of the retirement benefit provision are recognized in the income statement. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the equity, in other comprehensive income in full in the period they originated.

F 21
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized as an expense as the related service is provided.
The Company recognizes a liability and charges the income statement for the amounts expected to be paid under short-term bonuses, if the Company has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past services provided by the employees and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
p) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the Company discounts the provision, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and those risks specific to the component of the liability.
Certain disclosures may not be included in these financial statements as they relate to sensitive information.
Warranty provision
A warranty provision is recognized when products or goods, for which the warranty was granted, are sold. The amount of the provision is based on historical warranty data and on a weighted average of all possible outflows connected with warranty claims against their associated probabilities.
q) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events, but its amount cannot be estimated reliably or it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits.
A contingent liability is disclosed in the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, the Company discloses for each class of contingent liability at the end of the reporting period a brief description of the nature of the contingent liability and, where practicable:
- an estimate of its financial effect;
- an indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow and
- the possibility of any reimbursement.

r) Revenue
Revenue, which excludes value added tax, returns, trade discounts and volume rebates, represents the gross inflow of economic benefit from Company’s operating activities. Revenue is measured at the transaction prices of the consideration received or receivable. The Company’s main sources of revenue are recognized as follows:
(a) Retail revenue consists primarily of subscription fees paid by our pay digital television contract customers and our contract customers for telecommunication services. Retail revenue also includes received contractual penalties related to terminated agreements which are recognized when the contract is terminated and revenue from the rental of reception equipment. Revenue from above mentioned services is recognized as these services are provided .
Revenue from the rental of reception equipment and activation fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum base period of the subscription contract.
Revenues from prepaid mobile telephone services are recognized in profit or loss once the prepaid credit is utilised or forfeited.
(b) Wholesale revenue consists of revenue from the sale of broadcasting and signal transmission, advertising and sponsorship revenue, revenue from the sale of licenses, sublicenses and property rights and interconnect revenue.
Wholesale revenue is recognized, net of any discount given, when the services are provided.
(c) Revenue from sale of equipment is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, in case of multi-element contracts after the allocation of the transaction price based on the standalone selling price, net of discounts, rebates and returns. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer.
(d) Other revenue is recognized, net of any discount given, when the relevant goods or service are provided.
The Company’s process for revenue recognition from multi-element contracts consists of:
a) assessment of all goods and services provided to the client under the contract and identifying separate performance obligations in that contract
b) determining and allocating the transaction prices to separate performance obligations in the contract; the allocation is based on the reference to their relative standalone selling prices that could be obtained if the promised goods and services were sold individually in a separate transaction.
s) Distribution fees
Commissions for distributors for registering new subscribers and for retention of existing subscribers are recognized during the minimum basic period of the subscription agreement and presented in the income statement in Distribution, marketing, customer relation management and retention costs
Turnover commissions for concluding a certain number of subscription contracts are recognized in the income statement as they are due.
Commissions for distributors which will be settled within the period of 12 months after the balance sheet date are presented as current assets, however, the commissions, which will be settled after the 12-month period from the balance sheet date, are presented as non-current assets.

t) Revenues and costs of barter transactions
Revenues from barter transactions for dissimilar services or goods are recognized when the services are rendered or goods are delivered. Programming licenses, products or services are expensed or capitalized when received or used. The Company recognizes barter transactions based on the estimated fair value of the programming licenses, products or services.
u) Gains and losses on investment activities and finance costs
Gains and losses on investment activities income includes interest income on funds invested, interest expenses (including interest on lease liabilities but other than interest expenses on borrowings), dividends income, share in the profits of partnerships , net foreign currency gains/losses, and results on completed forward exchange contracts and call options related to investment activities, impairment losses recognized on financial assets. Interest income and expense (other than interest expense on borrowings) is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividends income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, with the exception of advance dividend shown as other liabilities, if there is a likelihood of the return on the basis of the final distribution of financial results of the subsidiaries. Share in the profits of partnerships are recognized once unconditional right to the division of these profits is gained. Share in the losses of partnerships are recognized in accordance with the partners’ agreements.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings (including bank loans and issued bonds), foreign exchange gains/losses on bank loans and issued bonds, realization and valuation costs of hedging instruments and instruments not under hedge accounting related to finance activities, bank and other charges on borrowings as well as guarantee fees resulting from the indebtedness. Borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
v) Leasing
Company as a lessor
Agreements which meet the lease definition are classified as finance lease or operating lease . The main criterion is the extent to which the risks and rewards associated with the leased asset are transferred between the Company and the lessee.
Similarly to agreements in which the Company acts as a lessee, the Company as a lessor also determines for each agreement: commencement date, lease term, lease payments and interest rate. At the commencement date lessor accounts for the finance lease by:
excluding carrying amount of the underlying asset;
recognizing net investment in the lease;
recognizing selling profit or loss in profit and loss statement (if applicable).
For operating leases, the Company recognizes revenue in profit and loss statement on a straight line basis.

Company as a lessee
(i) Assets
Assets used under agreements which meet the lease definition are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities representing the Company’s obligation to make payments for the underlying assets on the day when the leased assets are available for use by the Company.
At the commencement date, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost and consist of the following :
the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct cost incurred by the lessee;
an estimate of costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the underlying asset and/or the site where it is located.
After the commencement date, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for remeasurement of the lease liability resulting from reassessment or lease modification which does not require recognition of a separate lease component.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of: the term of the lease agreement or the useful life of the underlying asset. If the Company is reasonably certain that ownership of the underlying asset will be transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term then the right-of-use asset shall be depreciated from the commencement date to the end of its useful life.
The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets as follows:
office space and other premises: 3-13 years,
points of sale premises: 2-4 years.
vehicles: 4-5 years.
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment based on the accounting policies as presented in note 5n.
(ii) Liabilities
At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
the exercise price of purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
payments of penalties for terminating the lease (understood as any economic factors discouraging the Company from terminating the contract), if the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise the option to terminate the lease;
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. Otherwise the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 25
After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability by:
increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made;
remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, e.g. change in the lease term or the amount of future lease payments.
Interest expenses on lease liabilities are recognized in profit or loss over the term of the lease.
w) Taxation
Income tax expense/benefit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
The Company does not recognize deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements when the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, respectively, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be partly or wholly realised. When not recognized deferred tax asset becomes recoverable, it is recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset used to carry over unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available and unused tax losses may be utilized. While assessing whether the future taxable profits available will be sufficient, the Company takes into account inter alia forecasted future tax revenues
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset by the Company as criteria for offsetting from IAS 12 are fulfilled.
x) Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its ordinary and preference shares. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the period’s profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to ordinary and preference shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary and preference shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the period’s profit or loss from the continued operations attributable to ordinary and preference shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and preference shares adjusted for all potentially dilutive ordinary and preference shares.

The Company operates in the services to individual and business customers segment which relates to the provision of services to the general public, including digital television transmission signal, mobile services, the Internet access services, the mobile TV services and the online TV services.
The Company conducts its operating activities in Poland.
Further information on segments is presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
z) Cash flow statement
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement are equal to cash and cash equivalents presented in the balance sheet.
The purchase of reception equipment provided to clients under operating lease contracts is classified in the cash flow statement in operating activities. The purchase and sales of reception equipment are classified in the cash flow statement in operating activities and presented as “Net disposals/(additions) in reception equipment provided under operating lease”.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets are presented in their net amount (net of VAT).
aa) Business combinations among entities under common control
In principle, the issues relating to acquisitions and business combinations are regulated by IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. However, transactions under common control are excluded from the scope of this standard. The situation in which a given transaction or business phenomenon that require recognizing in financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are not regulated by the provisions of the individual standards is regulated by the provisions of IAS 8, points 10-12. These provisions put an entity which prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS under an obligation to determine an accounting policy and to use it on a consistent basis for similar transactions.
The Company decided to apply the predecessor accounting method to account for the combination of entities that are under common control. This method is based on the assumption that the entities combining were, both before and after the transaction, controlled by the same shareholder and, therefore, the financial statements reflect the continuity of joint control.
The predecessor accounting method guidelines for the merger of the parent company with its subsidiaries are as follow:
a) Assets and liabilities are not adjusted to reflect fair values as at the merger date. Instead, the acquirer recognizes in its financial statements assets and liabilities in the amount as recognized in the financial statements of the predecessor. “Predecessor values” are the carrying amounts of the merged subsidiary, which were recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. These amounts include the goodwill on acquisition of shares in a subsidiary recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company.
b) Intercompany transactions and balances between the merging entities are eliminated.
c) Goodwill other than already recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company is not recognized.
d) Share capital of the combined entity is the share capital of the acquiring entity. Share capital of a predecessor is eliminated.
e) Other elements of predecessor’s equity are added to the relevant items of the acquiring company’s equity. The

difference between the value of net assets and payment is recognized in the Retained earnings.
Pursuant to the predecessor accounting method, the Company recognizes in its financial statements the assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiary at their carrying amounts as recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The Company recognized business combinations under common control prospectively from the date of the merger, i.e. standalone financial statements of the Company will include the assets, liabilities, income, costs and cash flows of acquired entities from the date of the legal merger. Comparative data will remain unchanged.
6. Determination of fair values
A number of accounting principles and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The methods for determining fair values are described below. In justified cases, further information on methods of fair value measurement is described in the appropriate notes specific to that asset or liability.
(i) Derivatives
The fair value of derivatives is calculated based on their quoted closing bid price at the balance sheet date or, in the lack thereof, other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i. e. as prices) or indirectly (i. e. derived from prices). In the second case, the fair value of derivatives is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted using the market interest rate at the reporting date. Information on the structure of Polish and eurozone interest rates and Polish złoty exchange rate are used in order to estimate future cash flows and market interest rate.
(ii) Non-derivative financial assets
The fair value of non-derivative financial asset for disclosure purposes is estimated as the present value of future cash flows discounted using a market interest rate as at the balance sheet date.
(iii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on liabilities’ quoted closing bid price at the balance sheet date or, in the lack thereof, estimated on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted using the market interest rate at the reporting date. Market interest rate is estimated as interbank interest rate for a given currency zone (WIBOR, EURIBOR) plus a margin regarding the Company’s credit risk . A market interest rate for a lease contract is estimated based on interest rates for similar lease contracts.

The tax authorities may at any time inspect the books and records within 5 years from the end of the year when a tax declaration was submitted, and may impose additional tax assessments with penalty interest and penalties. Furthermore, on 15 July 2016 provisions of General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) were introduced, which aim at preventing establishing and using artificial legal arrangements with tax savings as its principal purpose. Frequent amendments in the tax laws and contradicting legal interpretations among the tax authorities result in uncertainties and lack of consistency in the tax system, which in fact lead to difficulties in the judgement of the tax consequences in the foreseeable future.
13. EBITDA (unaudited)
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment and liquidation) presents the Company’s key measure of earnings performance. The level of EBITDA measures the Company’s ability to generate cash from recurring operations, however it is neither a measure of liquidity nor cash level. The Company defines EBITDA as operating profit adjusted by depreciation, amortization, impairment and liquidation. EBITDA is not an IFRS EU measure, and as such can be calculated differently by other entities.

16. Impairment test on goodwill allocated to the “B2C and B2B” cash-generating unit
The Company recognized goodwill in the amount of PLN 197.0 on the acquisition of M.Punkt Holdings Ltd. and Redefine Sp. z o.o. in the financial statements and allocated them to the “B2C and B2B services” cash-generating unit. “B2C and B2B services” cash-generating unit is equivalent to the Company. Upon merger of M.Punkt Holdings and Redefine with the Company the amount of goodwill recognized in consolidated financial statements was transferred to these financial statements (see accounting policy in note 5aa).
Goodwill was tested for impairment as at 31 December 2020. The impairment test did not indicate impairment.
The impairment test was based on the recoverable amounts of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is determined based on the value-in-use calculations. The Company tests the total carrying amount of the cash-generating unit and any impairment identified is recognized in the profit or loss immediately with respect to goodwill first and is not subsequently reversed. If goodwill is fully impaired the remaining amount of the impairment loss is allocated to other assets of the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis.
In the annual impairment test performed by the Company as at 31 December 2020 the calculation of value-in-use was based on discounted free cash flows and involved the use of estimates related to cash flow before tax projections based on actual financial business plans covering the 5-year period until 2025. Cash flow projections after 5-year forecast period are estimated using the terminal growth. Terminal growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the country in which the Company operates.
The key financial assumptions
The most sensitive key financial assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations of the “B2C and B2B services” cash- generating unit were as follows:
- discount rate
- terminal growth rate used for estimating fee cash flows beyond the period of financial plans
B2C and B2B services
2020
2019
Terminal growth

Discount rate before tax

Discount rate the discount rate reflects the estimate made by the management of the risks specific to cash-generating unit, taking into account the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. The discount rate was estimated on the basis of weighted average cost of capital method (WACC) and considered Company’s business environment. WACC considers both debt and equity. Cost of equity is based on the return on investment expected by the Company’s investors while cost of debt is based on the interest bearing debt instruments. Operating segment - specific risk is considered by the estimation of beta. Beta is estimated annually and is based on the market data.
Terminal growth rate – growth rates are based on widely available published market data.

Sensitivity analysis of key financial assumptions
The Company believes that the key assumptions made in testing for impairment of the cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2020 are reasonable and are based on our experience and market forecasts that are published by the industry experts. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount is based would not cause the impairment charge to be recognized.

Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties of the Company will not be able to meet their contractual obligations. Exposure to credit risk is related to three main areas:
- the creditworthiness of the customers with whom physical sale transactions are undertaken,
- the creditworthiness of the financial institutions (banks/brokers) with whom, or through whom, hedging or other derivative transactions are undertaken,
- the creditworthiness of the entities in which investments are made, or whose securities are purchased.
Credit risk arises mainly on trade receivables and contract assets . In the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Company was not materially exposed to credit risk arising from sales on credit. The Company’s customer base includes a large number of individual subscribers dispersed geographically over the country who prepay subscription fees. Receivables from subscribers are constantly monitored and recovery actions are taken, including blocking of the signal transferred to subscribers or termination of services to Internet client.
The Company pursues a credit policy under which credit risk exposure is constantly monitored.
Due to diversification of risk in terms of the nature of individual entities, their geographical location and cooperation with highly- rated financial institutions, also taking into consideration the fair value of liabilities arising from derivative transactions, the Company is not materially exposed to credit risk as a result of derivative transactions entered into.

The Company may utilize revolving facility line of credit up to the amount of PLN 1.000. As at 31 December 2020 the final maturity date was set on 30 September 2024. As at 31 December 2019 the revolving facility was partially utilized.
Market risk
The Company has an active approach to managing its market risk exposure. The objectives of market risk management are:
- to limit fluctuations in profit/loss before tax,
- to increase the probability of meeting budget assumptions,
- to maintain the healthy financial condition, and
- to support the process of undertaking strategic decisions relating to investing activity, with attention to sources of capital for this activity.
All the market risk management objectives should be considered as a whole, while their realisation is dependant primarily upon the internal situation and market conditions.
The Company applies an integrated approach to market risk management. This means a comprehensive approach to the whole spectrum of identified market risks, rather than to each of them individually. The primary technique for market risk management is the use in the Company of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Apart from this, natural hedging is also used to the extent available.

All of the potential hedging strategies and the selection of those preferred reflect the following factors: the nature of identified market risk exposures of the Company, the suitability of instruments to be applied and the cost of hedging, current and forecasted market conditions. In order to mitigate market risk, derivatives are primarily used. The Company transacts only those derivatives for which it has the ability to assess their value internally, using standard pricing models appropriate for a particular type of derivative, and also these which can be traded without significant loss of value with a counterparty other than the one with whom the transaction was initially entered into. In evaluating the market value of a given instrument, the Company relies on information obtained from particular market leading banks, brokers and information services.
It is permitted to use the following types of instruments:
- Swaps (IRS/CIRS),
- Forwards and futures,
- Options.
Currency risk
One of the main risks to which the Company is exposed is currency risk related to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Polish zloty and other currencies. The revenues generated by the Company are denominated mainly in Polish zloty, however, a portion of operating costs and capital expenditures are incurred in foreign currencies. The Company’s currency risk is related to royalties for TV and radio broadcasters (USD and EUR), transponder capacity agreements (EUR), fees for conditional access system (EUR and USD) and purchases of reception equipment and accessories for reception equipment (USD and EUR).
In respect of licence fees and transponder capacity agreements, the Company partly reduces its currency risk exposure by means of an economic hedge as it denominates receivables from signal broadcast and marketing services in foreign currencies.
The Company’s exposure to foreign currency was as follows based on currency amounts:

Interest rate risk
Changes in market interest rates have no direct effect on the Company’s revenues, however, they do have an effect on net cash from operating activities due to interest earned on overnight bank deposits and current accounts, and on net cash from financing activities due to interest charged on bank loans and bonds.
The Company regularly analyses its level of interest rate risk exposure, including refinancing and risk minimising scenarios. Based on these analyses, the Company estimates the effects of changes in interest rates on its profit and loss.
In order to reduce interest rate risk exposure resulting from interest payments on floating rate senior facility, the Company stipulated interest rate swaps.

Fair value vs. carrying amount
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

* it is assumed that the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities is equal to their nominal value, therefore no evaluation methods were used in order to calculate their fair value
When determining the fair value of loans granted, forecasted cash flows from the reporting date to assumed dates of repayments of the loans were analyzed. The discount rate for each payment was calculated as an applicable WIBOR or EURIBOR interest rate plus a margin regarding the credit risk.
Trade and other receivables, accruals and trade and other payables and deposits comprise mainly receivables and payables which will be settled no later than at the end of the first month after the reporting date. It was therefore assumed that the effect of their valuation, taking the effect of time value of money into account, would approximately be equal to their nominal value.
As at 31 December 2020 loans and borrowings comprised term facility loan. As at 31 December 2019 loans and borrowings comprised term facility loan and revolving facility loan. The discount rate for each payment was calculated as a sum of implied WIBOR interest rate and a margin regarding the Company’s credit risk. When determining the fair value of senior facility as at 31 December 2020, forecasted cash flows from the reporting date to 30 September 2024 (assumed date of repayment of the loan obtained in 2015, changed in 2018 and changed in 2020) and to 31 March 2025 (assumed date of repayment of the additional loan obtained in 2019 and changed in 2020).

Cash Flow Hedge of interest rate risk of interest payments
At 31 December 2020, the Company held a number of interest rate swaps, designated as hedges of floating interest payments on senior facility denominated in PLN. The interest rate swaps are being used to hedge the interest rate risk of the Company’s floating rate financing in PLN.
The terms of the interest rate swaps have been negotiated to match the terms of the floating rate financing in PLN. There were no highly probable transactions for which hedge accounting has been claimed that have not occurred and no element of hedge ineffectiveness requiring recognition in the income statement.

43. Important agreements and events
Decision of the Head of the Małopolska Tax Office in Cracow
On 15 February 2018 the Head of the Małopolska Tax Office in Cracow (“Tax Office”) issued the decision assessing the tax liability from uncollected withholding corporate income tax in 2012 in the amount of PLN 24.2 increased by interest on tax arrears.
In the issued decision the Tax Office contested the Company’s right to an exemption from the obligation to withhold income tax on certain interest payments in 2012. The Company appealed against the decision of the Tax Authority on the basis of acquired opinions issued by renowned entities. The Company has not created any provisions encumbering its financial results.
On 10 July 2018 the Tax Office upheld the previous decision dated 15 February 2018. The Company does not agree with the decision of the Tax Office in question and appealed against it to the Voivodship Administrative Court in Cracow. The Voivodship Administrative Court in Cracow dismissed the complaint in the ruling as of 21 February 2019. The Company does not agree with this decision and filled a cassation complaint to the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw. The date of the hearing has not been set.
The Tax Office control activities in the aforesaid matter were in progress in relation to 2013 and 2014.
The Head of the Małopolska Tax Office in Cracow issued a decision on 19 July 2019 in respect to the year 2013. The decision assessed the Company’s tax liability from uncollected withholding corporate income tax in 2013 in the amount of PLN 25.1 increased by interest on tax arrears. The Company appealed against the decision, but on 14 February 2020 the Tax Authority maintained its position. The Company filed a complaint against the decision to the Administrative Court. On 15 October 2020, the Voivodship Administrative Court in Cracow dismissed the complaint.

The Company filed a complaint against the decision to the Administrative Court. On 20 October 2020, the Voivodship Administrative Court in Cracow dismissed the complaint. The Company, based on the opinions of reputable advisers, does not agree with the court's decision and filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw.

The initiation by the European Commission of the procedure based on Art. 108 sec. 2 of the European Union Treaty
In the beginning of October 2020, Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. and Sferia S.A. (Sferia), a company owned by the Cyfrowy Polsat Group in 51% since 29 February 2016, received from the Ministry of Digital Affairs a copy of the European Commission’s decision dated 21 September 2020 regarding the initiation of the formal investigation procedure against the Republic of Poland concerning the

alleged illegal state aid provided to Sferia. The alleged illegal state aid relates to granting in 2013 to Sferia the right to use a frequency block of 800 MHz range in place of the frequency 850 MHz range previously held by Sferia. According to the decision, the European Commission intends to investigate, whether the state aid was granted, and if so, whether it can be considered compatible with the internal market.
The Management Boards of Cyfrowy Polsat and Sferia believe that the company has acted in accordance with the regulations, and thus there cannot be any consideration of an illegal state aid. Additional information will be provided in the course of further proceedings.
Estimated impact of COVID-19 coronavirus disease pandemic on the operations and financial prospects of the Group
Immediately upon the introduction by the Polish government of the state of emergency due to an epidemics, in effect from 13 March 2020, Cyfrowy Polsat Group took actions to assure business continuity and reduce the negative impact of the pandemic on its operations. The priorities mainly included ensuring safety of the employees as well as guaranteeing high quality of services provided to the customers of the Group’s companies.
In the Management Board’s view, the Company and Group’s core business is relatively resistant to the adverse impact of the pandemic, maintains a high level of liquidity and generates positive cash flows. Accordingly, no factors indicating impairment of the Company’s assets were identified. More information in respect to the estimated impact is presented in the Management Report in note 3.1 and 5.9.1.
The ultimate impact that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic may have on the Company’s, as well as the entire Cyfrowy Polsat Group’s operations and financial situation is impossible to foresee at present and depends on numerous factors which are beyond the Group’s control and which include, among others, the duration of the pandemic and its further development as well as further potential measures that the Polish government may adopt.
A tender offer for shares in Netia S.A.
On 23 December 2020, the Company announced a tender offer for 114,173,459 (not in million) shares issued by Netia S.A., entitling to 114,173,459 (not in million) votes at Netia's general meeting, representing ca. 34.02% of Netia's share capital and ca. 34.02% of the total number of votes at Netia's general meeting. The share price in the tender offer was set at PLN 4.80 (not in million) per Netia’s share.
As the share price in the tender offer was below the market price of Netia’s shares as at 31 December 2020, the Company estimated the probability of acquiring Netia’s shares under tender offer as low as at balance sheet date and did not recognize any liability in this respect.
As a result of the tender offer, on 8 March 2021 the Company acquired 84,868 (not in millions) Netia’s shares representing ca. 0.0253% of its share capital and carrying the right to ca. 0.0253% of total votes at Netia’s general meeting and held, as at that date, in total 221,489,753 (not in million) Netia’s shares representing ca. 66.0024% of its share capital and carrying the right to ca. 66.0024% of total votes at Netia’s general meeting.

44. Events subsequent to the reporting date
Execution of a conditional sale agreement for shares in subsidiary
On 26 February 2021 Company and its Subsidiary Polkomtel Sp. z o. o. (together “Sellers”) concluded a conditional sale agreement (“Sale Agreement”) of shares in Polkomtel Infrastruktura Sp. z o. o. (“Polkomtel Infrastruktura”). According to the Sale Agreement, Company agreed to sell all shares held representing 74.98% of the share capital of Polkomtel Infrastruktura for the price of PLN 5,302.1, while Polkomtel Sp. z o. o. agreed to sell shares representing 25.01% of the share capital for the price of PLN 1,768.2. The completion of the Transaction is conditional on the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent: the buyer must obtain consent of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection for the and the Sellers must obtain consents required under the financing documentation of the Sellers, as well as conditional or unconditional release of security interests encumbering the Shares. The Sale Agreement will terminate, if the conditions precedent are not fulfilled on or before 31 October 2021. This deadline may be postponed until 31 December 2021 by way of a unilateral declaration of will by any of the parties. In connection with the Sale Agreement of shares in Polkomtel Infrastruktura, the Company is not able to control the reversal of the temporary differences related to this investment as of 26 February 2021, and from that date it became probable that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. As a result of the above, unless the circumstances affecting the assessment of meeting the conditions of the above-mentioned Sale Agreement change, the Company will not be able to apply the exemption from recognition of deferred income tax liability in 2021.
Entry into exclusive negotiations regarding potential acquisition
On 11 March 2021 Management Board of the Company decided to enter into exclusive negotiations regarding potential acquisition of 10% shares of eobuwie.pl S.A. from CCC S.A. within the scope of pre-IPO investment for a consideration of PLN 500 for the shares.
45. Judgments, financial estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS EU requires the Management Board to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical data and other factors considered as reliable under the circumstances, and their results provide grounds for an assessment of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities which cannot be based directly on any other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 78
The most significant estimates and assumptions made primarily related to the following:
Classification of lease agreements
In the case of contracts where the Company acts as a lessor, the Company classifies leasing agreements as operating or financial based on the assessment as to what extent the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a leased asset lie with the lessor or the lessee. The assessment is based on the economical substance of each transaction. The Company concludes agreements for the rental of reception equipment (set-top boxes, modems and routers) to its customers in the course of its business operations. These lease agreements are classified as operating leases as the Company holds substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the reception equipment. For more information see note 32.
Lease term
For agreements which meet the lease definition, the Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both: periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. While determining the lease term, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances, which could indicate that the Company will exercise the option to extend the lease. A lessee has to reassess an extension option upon the occurrence of either a significant event or significant change in the circumstances that are within the control of the lessee. In terms of contracts with an indefinite period, the lease term is determined based on a professional judgment regarding the contract term. The Company estimates lease term to be 2 years for point of sale agreements with indefinite periods.
Discount rate used by the lessee
Discount rate is understood as the interest rate implicit in the lease (if that rate can be readily determined) or the incremental borrowing rate of the Company, determined as the cost of interest on the loan, which the Company would have to incur when taking a loan to purchase a given asset with adequate security. The incremental borrowing rate can be defined as the sum of the risk free rate and the Company’s credit risk premium. Discount rates applied by the Company take into account the maturity and the currency of lease contracts.
Depreciation rates of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives
Depreciation rates are based on the expected economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment (including reception equipment provided to customers under lease agreements) and intangible assets. The expected economic useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis based on the experience of the entity.
The economic useful lives of the set-top boxes rented to customers under operating lease agreements are estimated for 5 years, modems and routers 3 years. For information on the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, programming assets and other intangible assets with definite useful lives see notes 5i and 5j. For information on the depreciation charge for the period by the category of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives and right-of-use assets see notes 15, 17 and 18.
The impairment of goodwill
The Company performed impairment test on goodwill arising on the acquisition of M.Punkt Holdings and Redefine . The impairment test was based on the value-in-use calculations of the “B2C and B2B Services” cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated on the initial recognition. The value-in-use calculations included estimation of discounted cash flows

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
(all cash amounts presented in text are in million with currency specification, all amounts are in PLN million, except where otherwise stated)
F 79
for the given cash-generating unit and the relevant discount rate. The value of goodwill tested at each cash-generating unit, the key assumptions used in the value-in-used calculations for each cash-generating unit, impairment test results and sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions are presented in note 16.
The impairment of investment in subsidiaries
The Company analyzed whether any indicators of potential impairment of investments in subsidiaries exist as at the balance sheet date. The analysis did not indicate such impairment indicators (with the exception of recognised impairment loss of shares in Karpacka Telewizja Kablowa Sp. z o.o.) therefore the Company did not perform an impairment test for these assets. Impairment value of shares in Karpacka Telewizja Kablowa Sp. z o.o. are presented in note 20.
The impairment of non-financial non-current assets
As at the reporting date the Company has assessed whether there are any indications that intangible and tangible assets with definite useful lives may be impaired. The impairment loss recognised equals the difference between net book value and recoverable amount. The impairment values are presented in notes 15 and 17.
Impairment of receivables
The value of receivables is updated taking into account the expected credit losses for trade receivables and contract assets in the amount corresponding to the expected credit losses throughout the life of the instrument. The amount of expected losses is calculated on the basis of historical data regarding the repayment of receivables and the effectiveness of debt collection, taking into account current expectations regarding the future development of these parameters. For more information see notes 5n, 24 and 35.
Provisions for pending litigation
During the normal course of its operations the Company participates in several court proceedings, usually typical and repeatable and which, on an individual basis, are not material for the Company, its financial standing and operations. The provisions are estimated based on the court documentation and the expertise of the Company’s lawyers who participate in the current litigations and who estimate Company’s possible future obligations taking the progress of litigation proceedings into account. The Company also recognizes provisions for potential unreported claims resulting from past events, should the Management Board find that the resulting outflow of economic benefits is likely. Provisions regarding probable claims are recognized as a result of Management Board’s estimates based on accessible information regarding market rates for similar claims. Management believes that the provisions as at 31 December 2020 are sufficient to cover potential future outflows and the adverse outcome of the disputes will not have a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial situation.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are recognised for all temporary differences, as well as for unused tax losses, except for the cases excluding recognition in accordance with IAS 12 and taking into account the possibility of deferred tax asset realization. The key assumption in relation to deferred tax accounting is the assessment of the expected timing and manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities held at the reporting date. In particular, assessment is required of whether it is probable that there will be suitable future taxable profits against which any deductible temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of the reporting period unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed. A previously unrecognised deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. For further details refer to notes 5w and 12.

Deferred tax related to investment in Polkomtel Infrastruktura Sp. z o.o.
Management believes that taking into account facts and circumstances existing as at 31 December 2020 the Company was still able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences related to investment in Polkomtel Infrastruktura Sp. z o.o. and it was probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Therefore, in line with accounting policy presented in note 5w, the Company did not recognized deferred tax liability for temporary differences related to investment in Polkomtel Infrastruktura Sp. z o.o.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is estimated using appropriate techniques of measurements. The techniques are chosen based on the professional judgment. For more information about the method of establishing the fair value of financial instruments and key assumption made see note 5g.
Loan liabilities measured at amortised cost
The Term Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to WIBOR for the relevant interest period plus margin. The margin on the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility depends on the ratio of net consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company’s management classifies loan liabilities as variable rate instruments.
