Financial instruments and financial risks
Financial instrument is an agreement that simultaneously results in financial assets of one party and financial liabilities of the other party.
The key financial instruments held by the Company are financial assets such as trade receivables, amounts due from related parties and other receivables, and financial liabilities such as prepayments from clients, accounts payable to suppliers and contractors and other creditors arising directly from its business activities.
Financial risks connected with the Company’s financial instruments, financial risk management
Key financial risks related to the Company’s financial instruments are:
▪Credit risk is the risk that the Company may incur financial losses if parties to the transactions fail to fulfil their liabilities under the contracts, and credit risk is primarily connected with trade receivables;
▪Currency risk– risk that the Company may suffer unexpected losses arising from fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates; the Company is not exposed to currency risk as it does not significant amounts of currencies other than EUR.
▪Interest rate risk – risk that the Company may incur losses due to fluctuations in interest rates;
▪Liquidity risk – risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial liabilities in due time.
Management has implemented procedures to control the key risks.
Credit risk
The inability of insurance companies and patients to pay for the services provided by the Company in due time and in full amount. Most of the services are paid for within a short period of time after the provision of services or are funded by state or insurance providers, so the credit risk is low.
Interest rate risk
Management believes that interest rate risk is not material.
