Notes to the company balance sheet and income statement

35. Basis of preparation

35.1 Basis of preparation of company financial statements

The company financial statements of Ordina N.V. have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 9, Book 2, of the Netherlands Civil Code. In preparing these financial statements, the company availed itself of the facility offered by Section 362(8), Book 2, of the Netherlands Civil Code to use the same accounting policies (including those for the presentation of financial instruments as equity or liabilities) for the company and the consolidated financial statements.

The company financial statements of Ordina N.V. are presented in euros (EUR). Amounts are in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise.

35.2 Accounting policies

The accounting policies for the company financial statements are the same as for the consolidated financial statements. If no further policies are mentioned, reference is made to the accounting policies for the consolidated financial statements.

35.2.1 Financial assets/Investments in associates

Subsidiaries and group companies in which Ordina N.V. exercises control or in which Ordina N.V. is responsible for central management are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is a method of accounting whereby the net assets, liabilities and provisions of the group company are measured and profit is calculated based on the accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements.

In applying the equity method, the company makes allowance for the transitional provisions for the measurement of items and the first-time adoption of the accounting policies applied in the consolidated financial statements (the IFRS 1 adjustments).
