The preparation of financial statements in conformity with EU IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 (r).

  1. Segment reporting

The CEO of Zwack Unicum Plc., is the Company's chief operating decision maker ('CODM'), as the CEO is responsible for allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of the Company on a monthly basis. Operating results are only reviewed at the Company level by the CODM hence the Company is deemed to be one segment. The balances in the reports reviewed by the CODM are in line with those presented in these financial statements.

(b) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in HUF, which is the company's functional and presentation currency.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the official rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the date of the transaction. All resulting foreign exchange differences are included in other operating expenses/income.

(c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis (or by reference to physical output) from the time the assets are deployed over their estimated useful lives.

Assets in the course of construction are stated at cost.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost
