CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER's STATEMENT
The Group has continued the delivery of its key strategic
priorities in the first half of 2018, with double-digit revenue
growth in both the healthcare services and pharmacy and
distribution businesses. Building on last year's significant
investment, each business has achieved good levels of franchise
growth in the first half of 2018.
The Group delivered EBITDA of GEL 62.6 million in the first half
of 2018, an increase of 22% compared to the first half of last
year. Both Regional Hospital (previously known as Deka) and the
Tbilisi Referral Hospital (previously known as Sunstone) are now
fully open and are seeing strongly improving revenue trends on a
quarterly basis, reflecting consistently increasing bed occupancy
rates as we continue to build both hospitals' presence in their
communities. The number of registered patients in our Tbilisi
polyclinics continues to grow, in support of our target of 200,000
patients. Strong sales growth and the completion of the integration
of the pharmacy and distribution businesses have resulted in
continued strong EBITDA margins and earnings growth; and the
medical insurance business has returned to positive EBITDA
following last year's repricing of the portfolio and termination of
certain loss-making client contracts.
Revenues totalled GEL 419.5 million for the half, an increase of
13% y-o-y. Group EBITDA was GEL 31.2 million in the second quarter,
a 20% increase year-on-year, despite the additional expense of the
cost of roll-out of a number of hospital and polyclinic facilities.
In addition to the normal hospital operational expenses incurred in
our newly opened hospitals, the cost of healthcare services and
operating expenses also includes a number of one-off expenses
related to the hospital roll-outs. These expenses were mainly
associated with the Regional Hospital opening and totalled GEL 1.2
million in the first half of 2018. In 1H18, the healthcare services
business EBITDA increased 6% y-o-y and the EBITDA margin was 24.7%
(the EBITDA margin for referral hospitals and community clinics
stood at 28.4% excluding the roll-out impact). The pharma business
EBITDA increased almost 40% half-on-half to GEL 24.6 million, and
its EBITDA margin increased 180 basis points to 9.7% over the same
period, substantially in excess of our targeted "more than 8%"
margin.
In our healthcare services business, we have now completed our
investment in the development of both Regional Hospital and Tbilisi
Referral Hospital, and are focused on building capacity utilisation
in both hospitals. The occupancy rate at our 306-bed Regional
Hospital (opened in March 2018) reached 15% in the first three
months after opening and the occupancy rate at Tbilisi Referral
Hospital (fully-opened in December 2017) was around 40%. In our
referral hospitals we have also continued to launch new services,
with four new in hospital services plus a new Home Care service
launched in the second quarter. We are the only provider in the
Georgian healthcare market to offer an organised home care service
- which enables our qualified nurses to provide professional
healthcare assistance at home.
Our polyclinic network has continued to expand (revenue up 42%
h-o-h), and these polyclinics now clearly stand out from their
competition as new, modern facilities that provide a diverse range
of high-quality services in one location. The number of our
registered patients in Tbilisi has grown substantially in last 12
months and reached c.116,000 in 2Q18, from c.6,000 in 2Q17. We are
targeting to reach c.200,000 registered patients by early 2019. The
polyclinics posted 16.1% EBITDA margin in 2Q18, up 20 bps
year-on-year.
As we have completed our major investment programme, this year's
quarterly results now fully reflects depreciation and interest
expenses. Over the last six months, they have affected our
healthcare services business profitability, as newly opened
facilities have been in the initial rollout phase. Going forward we
do not expect depreciation expense to increase significantly; and
our interest expense is expected to gradually reduce as business
leverage decreases.
Our pharmacy and distribution business posted record first half
revenues of GEL 254.2 million, with 14% year-on-year growth
supported by various sales initiatives implemented across the two
combined pharmacy chains, as well as the further expansion in the
number of pharmacies - which now total 259 pharmacies in major
cities. We plan to further expand this network to over 300
pharmacies over the next couple of years. Our wholesale
distribution business also showed promising growth. Our position as
the largest pharmaceuticals purchaser in the country has allowed us
to further improve our operating cost efficiency and obtain higher
product discounts from manufacturers. Consequently, it helped us to
share the synergies with the Georgian population by providing
affordable pricing on key products. The business posted 65% growth
in profit, reaching GEL 19.3 million in the half.
Our medical insurance business has stabilised its earnings,
following the cancellation of a number of loss-making contracts
during 2017. As a result, the business delivered positive EBITDA of
GEL 0.7 million in the first half, compared to an EBITDA loss of
GEL 1.2 million in the same period last year. Both the expense
ratio and loss ratio of the business continue to improve
substantially, with the resulting combined ratio improving to 98.8%
in the first half of 2018, compared to 106.2% a year ago.
As mentioned above, from a capital expenditure perspective, we
have now completed the vast majority of our major development
projects - the only significant project left is the Mega Lab
project, which will become operational over the next couple of
months. Accordingly, we are now focusing on improving our return on
invested capital, which has already improved by 120 basis points
over the last 12 months.
Investing in human capital and talent development continues to
be high on our agenda. In 1H18 we spent GEL 1 million on
development training programmes for our staff. GHG's leadership
programme for middle level managers to improve their leadership and
managerial skills, has become extremely popular among our
employees. Currently 110 executives from our mid-level management
team are engaged in a tailored six-month programme. We have also
launched a Leadership Development Executive Coaching programme for
top and middle level managers. It provides an individual approach
towards developing leadership skills and benefits its participants
with a personally tailored development experience. Currently 65
managers are involved in the programme, gaining a greater awareness
of their leadership strengths and opportunities for future
growth.
We remain focused on improving the knowledge and expertise of
our doctors and nurses through education and practical development.
Our residency programme, which improves the quality of postgraduate
preparation and facilitates an increase in the number of qualified
employed doctors in the country, continues to grow. It is the most
popular residency programme in the country and we currently have
171 talented residents involved in the programme. Next year we will
have the first graduates from this programme, who will start to
work at GHG's healthcare facilities.
We continue to develop and implement quality management measures
throughout our healthcare facilities. After successfully
implementing a high quality clinical key performance indicator
monitoring system in our referral hospitals, in 2018 we have
initiated different projects which address clinical quality issues
including clinical pathway improvement projects related to sepsis,
pneumonia and rational antibiotic therapy.
From an IT perspective we have continued the process of
digitalisation. In 2017 we implemented e-prescriptions in our
healthcare facilities in Tbilisi and now we are moving to the next
stage of development - implementing an Electronic Medical Record
("EMR") system in our polyclinics. This is another step towards our
goal of having a have fully integrated health information system
that will help us to manage more efficiently and deliver better
care to our customers. GHG will be the first healthcare company in
the country that will electronically store patient records. We have
already started training our employees and the system will be
launched before the end of this year.
Over the last three years we have been in a significant business
roll-out phase in all areas of our operations, and we are now
starting to see the benefits materialise: in the healthcare
services business with two major new hospital renovations and
launches, and the development of a nationwide chain of polyclinics;
and in the pharmacy business with significant benefits achieved
from the acquisitions and integration of what is now the largest
pharmacy and distribution business in the country. The first half
performance reflects the significant recent progress against the
Group's strategic priorities, and we are well positioned to
continue this progress during the second half of 2018 and
beyond.

DISCUSSION OF GROUP RESULTS
Georgia Healthcare Group PLC is the UK incorporated holding
company of the largest integrated player in the fast-growing
predominantly privately-owned Georgia Healthcare ecosystem of GEL
3.5 billion aggregated value. GHG comprises three main business
lines: healthcare services business, pharmacy and distribution
business and medical insurance business.
GHG is the single largest market participant in the healthcare
services industry in Georgia, accounting for 24.9% of the country's
total hospital bed capacity, as of 30 June 2018. Our healthcare
services business offers the most comprehensive range of inpatient
and outpatient services targeting virtually all segments of the
Georgian market, through its vertically integrated network of
hospitals and clinics. In 2Q18 we operated:
-- 16 referral hospitals with a total of 2,825 beds, which
provide secondary or tertiary level healthcare services
-- 21 community clinics with a total of 495 beds, which provide
outpatient and basic inpatient healthcare services
-- 17 district polyclinics and 24 express outpatient clinics,
which provide outpatient diagnostic and treatment services.
Polyclinics are located in Tbilisi and major regional cities.
GHG is the largest pharmaceuticals retailer and wholesaler in
Georgia, with a 30% market share by revenue. Our pharmacy and
distribution business consists of a retail pharmacy chain and a
wholesale business selling pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to
hospitals and other pharmacies. The pharmacy chain operates under
two separate brand names, Pharmadepot and GPC, with a total of 259
pharmacies, of which 24 also have express outpatient clinics. 21 of
our pharmacies are located within our healthcare facilities.
GHG is also the second largest provider of medical insurance in
Georgia with a 27.2% market share based on 1Q18 net insurance
premiums. Our medical insurance business consists of private
medical insurance operations in Georgia. We have a wide
distribution network and offer a variety of medical insurance
products primarily to the Georgian corporate sector and also to
retail clients. We have approximately 157,000 persons insured as of
30 June 2018. The medical insurance business plays an important
role in our business model, as it is a significant feeder for our
pharmacy and distribution business and healthcare services
business, particularly for the polyclinics, and we believe that
role will grow in the future as we roll out our polyclinic growth
strategy.

Gross Revenue. We delivered quarterly revenue of GEL 211.8
million (up 14.7% y-o-y) and half year revenue of GEL 419.5 million
(up 13.1% y-o-y). In 2Q18 y-o-y revenue growth was driven by
double-digit growth in both the pharmacy and distribution and
healthcare services businesses, up 14.8% and 16.3% respectively.
The Group's revenue was up 2.0% q-o-q.
In 1H18, 60% of our revenues came from the pharmacy and
distribution business, 34% from the healthcare services business,
and the remaining 6% from the medical insurance business. This
translated in 54%(2) of Group's total revenue from out-of-pocket
payments; from Universal Healthcare Programme ("UHC") payments 24%;
and from other sources 22%.
(2) Includes: healthcare services out-of-pocket revenue, pharma
and medical insurance businesses' revenue from retail
Gross Profit. We delivered gross profit of GEL 65.0 million in
2Q18 (up 21.1% y-o-y) and GEL 128.9 million in 1H18 (up 17.4%
y-o-y). The Group's gross margin improved y-o-y mainly due to the
growth in the pharmacy and distribution business' margin, which was
up 120 bps y-o-y in 2Q18 and up 80 bps y-o-y in 1H18. The primary
reason for the growth remains extracted procurement synergies, as
the largest pharmaceuticals purchaser in the country, as well as
improved product mix in our pharmacies. The healthcare services
business gross margin remains in the range of 42%, despite the
impact of the flagship hospitals' roll-out costs and the
Government's changes to UHC in May 2017. Adapting to last year's
UHC changes by implementing new initiatives described later in this
report, the medical insurance business continued to improve its
loss ratio (down 660 bps y-o-y in 2Q18 and down 340 bps y-o-y in
1H18). The Group's gross margin remained flat q-o-q.
EBITDA. We reported EBITDA of GEL 31.2 million in 2Q18 (up 19.7%
y-o-y) and GEL 62.6 million in 1H18 (up 22.4% y-o-y). The
healthcare services business was the main contributor to the
Group's 2Q18 EBITDA, contributing 60% in total, with a 24.3% EBITDA
margin. The next largest contributor was the pharmacy and
distribution business with 38% contribution, while posting a 9.4%
EBITDA margin. Our medical insurance business also posted positive
EBITDA of GEL 0.5 million, compared to the negative GEL 0.8 million
EBITDA posted in 2Q17.
This year's depreciation and amortisation expense now fully
reflects the Group's recent investment in sizeable development
projects in our healthcare business. The y-o-y increase in net
interest expense was in line with the increased balance of borrowed
funds to finance planned capital expenditure. Going forward we
expect Group's leverage to decrease gradually in line with the debt
principal payment schedule, reducing interest expense
respectively.
After launching Regional Hospital, the Group has now largely
completed its major investment programme in to create high-quality
care facilities with the necessary capacity to serve our patients.
Going forward our main focus will be on the successful roll-out of
our newly launched hospitals and broadening our continuous
improvement work on costs and quality.
Profit. Our profit totalled GEL 12.4 million in 2Q18 (up 10.4%
y-o-y) and GEL 28.4 million in 1H18 (up 17.1% y-o-y). The pharmacy
and distribution business was the main driver of the 2Q18 Group
profit, contributing GEL 8.5 million, followed by the healthcare
services and medical insurance businesses contributing GEL 3.6
million and GEL 0.3 million, respectively.

above, the Group has now completed its intensive capital
expenditure phase and the only large project remaining is the
construction of the Mega Lab which we plan to open in 2018 as
discussed below.
Going forward our focus remains on the successful roll-out of
newly launched hospitals and services, improving return on invested
capital through improved utilsation and growing productivity. We
will also capture more of the value of synergies across the
Group.
Our balance sheet remained flat q-o-q, with no major deviation
except for prepayments, the decrease of which is related to the
completion and launch of flagship hospitals.

-- During 2018, we are continuing to invest in the development
of our healthcare facilities and services. In 2Q18 we spent a total
of GEL 15.7 million on capital expenditures ("capex"), of which
maintenance capex was GEL 2.1 million. Overall, in 1H18, capital
expenditures totalled GEL 40.5 million, of which maintenance capex
was GEL 4.4 million. The primary capex use was to finalise the
renovation works on our Regional Hospital.
-- We continue to launch new services at our referral hospitals
to fill medical service gaps in Georgia. During 2Q18, we launched
four new services in four different referral hospitals plus a Home
Care service. In total, we launched eight new services in 1H18 and
the process will continue throughout the year.
o In 2Q18 we launched our Home Care service in Tbilisi. We are
the first provider in the Georgian healthcare market to offer this
service in an organised way. Our qualified nurses will provide
professional healthcare assistance at home, covering services such
as transfusion, inhalation and oxygen delivery. People of all ages
can benefit from Home Care, including those who have been recently
discharged from a hospital, those who are recovering from surgery
or major illness, or those who have received a new diagnosis or a
complication arising from a chronic illness. All of these services
are co-ordinated by an operating centre open 24 hours a day.
-- The complete renovation of 306-bed Regional Hospital was
finished and the hospital opened at the end of February 2018; its
occupancy rate reached c.15% in 2Q18.
-- At Tbilisi Referral Hospital - another of our flagships which
was opened in April 2017, and where additional capacity was added
in December 2017 - the occupancy rate stood at around 40% in
2Q18.
-- Our adjusted referral hospital bed occupancy rate(3) was
63.4% in 2Q18 (67.1% in 2Q17).
(3) Adjusted to exclude the Tbilisi Referral Hospital and
Regional Hospital; the calculation also excludes emergency beds
-- Our healthcare services market share by number of beds stood
at 24.9% as of 30 June 2018. According to recently published 2017
data by National Centre for Disease Control and Public Health
("NCDC") the number of beds continues to grow in the market. Apart
from GHG, the increase mainly comes from hospitals with a
relatively small market share.

-- The number of registered patients in Tbilisi polyclinics
reached c.116,000 as of June 2018, up from c.6,000 in 2Q17 and up
from c.66,000 at the beginning of the year. We plan to further grow
our polyclinic business both organically and through further
acquisitions. Our target is to reach c.200,000 registered patients
by early 2019.
-- The construction of the largest laboratory in Georgia as well
as in whole Caucasus region ("Mega Lab") is progressing rapidly and
expected to become operational over the next couple of months. The
multi-profile laboratory will be equipped with the most up-to-date
infrastructure and high-capacity automated systems. The laboratory
will cover basic as well as sophisticated tests such as: clinical
microbiology, immunology, bacteriology, pathology, molecular
genetics, etc. We plan to get Joint Commission International
accreditation for Mega Lab.
Government changes to UHC implemented from May 2017
-- As reported last year, effective from May 2017 the Government
introduced two significant changes to UHC: 1) revised reimbursement
mechanism relating to the provision of intensive care, reducing the
UHC reimbursement of these services; and 2) a new regulation which
bases UHC coverage eligibility on the income level of citizens and
introduced deductible amounts (patient co-payments) for planned and
certain urgent services. The first change has slightly suppressed
our hospitals margins, and the second may have slightly suppressed
demand for our services.

In 2Q18, referral hospitals contributed 85% of the total revenue
from our healthcare services. The y-o-y and q-o-q revenue growth is
mainly a result of a successful ramp-up of the newly launched
hospitals. The quarterly revenues in Tbilisi Referral Hospital
(fully opened in December 2017) and Regional Hospital (diagnostic
part opened in 3Q16 and inpatient part in March 2018) reached GEL
4.1 million and GEL 5.3 million respectively. Quarterly revenue
dynamics for both hospitals is shown below.

Apart from the contribution from our newly launched hospitals,
the y-o-y revenue increase is attributable to the demand for
current services at our existing facilities where we are
continuously adding new medical services. In recent years we have
developed a number of new, high-quality elective care services in
Georgia, in line with our strategy to improve the quality of care
throughout the country.
In 2Q18, clinics contributed 15% of the total revenue from
healthcare services, out of which 7% came from polyclinics and 8%
from community clinics.
The growth in revenue from polyclinics in 2Q18 (up 45.3% y-o-y
and up 7.7% q-o-q) as well as in 1H18 (up 41.8% y-o-y) has been
driven by: 1) an increase in the number of polyclinics in our
network (we added four new polyclinics in the last 12 months), in
line with our strategy to consolidate our position as the largest
player in the highly fragmented outpatient market in Georgia; and
2) an increased number of registered patients, that reached
c.116,000 in 2Q18 (up from c.6,000 in 2Q17).
Revenue from community clinics was also up y-o-y due to the
introduction of new medical services. These clinics play a feeder
role for the referral hospitals, so we expect their revenue growth
to be slower going forward compared to the growth of referral
hospital revenue.

GHG medical insurance 2,806 2,710 3.6% 5,461 5,403 1.1%
All payment sources contributed to our revenue growth. Despite
the Government initiatives described above, the revenue from
Government-funded healthcare programmes increased y-o-y as well as
q-o-q and it remains the main contributor to our healthcare
services revenues. Notwithstanding this, in line with our strategy,
the share of Government financing in the healthcare services
business revenue decreased to 66.3% in 1H18 from 67.9% in 1H17.
The goal to diversify our earnings is furthered by growing
out-of-pocket payments by patients (up 21.2% y-o-y and up 4.8%
q-o-q in 2Q18; up 23.2% y-o-y in 1H18). This is driven both by
growth in the number of elective services we provide in our
hospitals as well as by the enhanced footprint of our polyclinics,
which are partially or fully funded out of pocket. The recent
launch of Regional Hospital (the main focus of which is on
providing elective care services) and the continued expansion of
our polyclinics business will continue to increase the share of
out-of-pocket revenue in the overall mix.

The recent launches of hospitals naturally increased our cost
base including the cost of salary and other employee benefits, cost
of materials and supplies as well as cost of utilities. As these
facilities are in their early roll-out phase, revenue generation
lags behind the respective salary and materials expense growth.
Despite this, as a result of focused efficiency initiatives, we
have managed to maintain the materials rate while decreasing the
direct salary rate (down 60 bps in 2Q18 y-o-y and down 20 bps in
1H18 y-o-y).
We continue to focus on the successful roll out of the newly
launched hospitals and services, with the main goal to drive
efficiencies across our healthcare facilities and improve our
margins. As a result, we expect the direct salary rate to improve
further as we complete the ramp-up phase of the newly launched
healthcare facilities and services.
The healthcare services business reported gross profit of GEL
32.4 million in 2Q18 (up 14.5% y-o-y) and GEL 63.7 million in 1H18
(up 13.3% y-o-y). The gross margin in 2Q18 and 1H18 stood at 41.8%

EBITDA margin 24.3% 27.5% 24.7% 26.4%
The increase in operating expenses on a y-o-y basis is primarily
driven by the expansion of the business as well as the new
openings. In HY18 revenue growth outpaced operating general and
administrative expense growth and by introducing cost control
measures we expect further optimisation of these expenses.
We reported quarterly and half year EBITDA of GEL 18.8 million
(up 2.8% y-o-y) and GEL 37.4 million (up 6.4% y-o-y), respectively.
Margins remain suppressed due to the roll-out of our two new
flagship hospitals and polyclinics. Another reason for the margin
reduction in 2018 is the Government's UHC changes which reduced our
revenue from May 2017 and that have full effect in 2018. The EBITDA
margin for referral hospitals and community clinics in 2Q18 was
24.9% (26.2% in 1Q18). Excluding the dilutive effect of roll-outs,
the EBITDA margin was 28.4% in 2Q18 (28.6% in 1Q18). The EBITDA
margin of our polyclinics improved quarter over quarter by 260 bps
and stood at 16.1% in 2Q18.
With the gradual ramp-up of the newly opened healthcare
facilities we expect the healthcare services EBITDA margin to
improve throughout the remainder of 2018.

Profit for the period 3,605 7,949 -54.6% 8,879 15,121 -41.3%
Recent openings affected our healthcare services business
profitability, as newly launched hospitals remain in their initial
roll-out phase, and the accounting impact on the Group's
depreciation and amortisation expense from these investments is now
fully reflected in 2Q18 results. The increase in net interest
expense reflects the increase in our total borrowing balance to
finance planned capital expenditure. As the business has now mainly
completed its investment programme, we expect only modest increases
in depreciation and amortisation reflecting the completion of our
Mega Lab and smaller investments in new equipment mainly in
connection with the roll out of new services. Interest expense is
expected to decline as we reduce our debt. Consequently, the
healthcare services business' profit totalled GEL 3.6 million in
2Q18 and GEL 8.9 million 1H18.

Revenue from Distribution 34,014 25,785 31.9% 65,802 54,640 20.4%
The increase in y-o-y revenues from retail is attributable to
the expansion of the business and the various sales initiatives
that our pharmacy and distribution business continues to implement.
Over the last year we have added 12 new pharmacies in our chain and
the number of pharmacies in 2Q18 reached 259. Over the next few
years we are projecting to have 300 pharmacies in total. Due to
active marketing campaigns, promotions and other sales initiatives
that our business continues to implement throughout the year, in
1H18 the number of bills issued and the average bill size increased
by 5.8% and 4.5% y-o-y, respectively. This resulted in revenue
growth from retail, up 12.3%. In 2Q18 seasonal promotions increased
the numbers of bills issued by 7.2% y-o-y, while the average bill
size was reduced by 2.3%. Overall the impact on our quarterly
revenue from retail, up 9.6% y-o-y, was positive. In 1H18 the
business posted strong same-store growth rate of 7.7% y-o-y and the
share of para-pharmacy sales in retail revenue stood at 29.4%
(28.4% in 1H17).
In 2018, in line with our strategy to grow wholesale revenue, we
started to acquire new corporate accounts and actively engaged in
state programmes. This resulted in the quarterly record high
distribution revenue of more than GEL 34 million and y-o-y revenue
growth of almost 32%.
As the largest purchaser of pharmaceuticals in Georgia, we are
well-positioned in our ongoing negotiations with manufacturers for
price discounts. As a result, the increase in cost of pharma
favourably lags behind the respective revenue growth in all
periods. Going forward, apart from continuously seeking additional
manufacturer discounts, we expect margins to benefit from the
introduction of higher-margin private label products at our
pharmacies. We introduced private label medicines and private label
personal care products are expected to follow this year.
As a result of the above, our gross profit margin has improved
y-o-y, up 120 bps in 2Q18 and up 80 bps in 1H18. Gross profit
reached GEL 31.5 million in 2Q18 (up 20.4% y-o-y) and GEL 62.8
million in 1H18 (up 18.2% y-o-y), respectively.

Business posted y-o-y positive operating leverage of 6.8 ppts
and 10.6 ppts in 2Q18 and in 1H18, respectively.
Salaries and other employee benefits increased in line with the
respective revenue growth, as the staff bonus motivation scheme is
built around sales KPIs in our pharmacies. Another reason for the
increase is the expansion of the business and the addition of new
pharmacies. The increase in general and administrative expenses in
2Q18 is mainly attributable to marketing activities to support
respective revenue growth.
The business reported EBITDA of GEL 11.9 in 2Q18 (up 33.6%
y-o-y) and GEL 24.6 million in 1H18 (up 39.5% y-o-y). We continued
to deliver strong quarterly and half year EBITDA margin, both still
exceeding our "more than 8%" medium term target.

Since the implementation of new measures (described below)
following last year's UHC changes, our medical insurance business
has continued to contribute positively to the Group's EBITDA,
increasing its revenue while improving the loss ratio towards its
targeted level.
The medical insurance business posted GEL 13.7 million revenue
in 2Q18 (up 2.2% y-o-y) and contributed GEL 0.5 million to the
Group's EBITDA. In 2Q17, medical insurance business started to
adjust prices or terminate loss making contracts that had become
loss-making as a result of Government's changes to UHC. From 2018
the business started to attract new clients with adjusted pricing
that resulted in revenue growth in 2Q18 (up 2.2% y-o-y and up 3.0%
q-o-q).

Loss ratio 82.4% 89.0% 83.4% 86.8%
As a result of the measures described above, in 2Q18 we managed
to decrease the loss ratio towards our targeted level (c.80%), down
660 bps y-o-y to 82.4%. The loss ratio improved on a quarterly
basis as well, by 190 bps.
Our insurance business plays a feeder role in originating and
directing patients to our healthcare facilities, mainly to
polyclinics and to pharmacies. In 2Q18, our medical insurance
claims expense was GEL 11.3 million, of which GEL 4.6 million
(40.4% of total) was inpatient, GEL 4.4 million (39.1 % of total)
was outpatient and GEL 2.3 million (20.5% of total) accounted for
drugs. In 2Q18, GEL 4.3 million, or 38.1% (38.1% in 2Q17) of our
total medical insurance claims were retained within the Group, of
which GEL 2.8 million and GEL 1.5 million were retained in the
healthcare services and pharmacy and distribution businesses,
respectively. The feeder role of our medical insurance business is
particularly important for the Group's outpatient services. In
2Q18, GEL 1.7 million, or 38.4% (32.6% in 2Q17), of our medical
insurance claims on outpatient services were retained within the
Group.
Due to the new flagship hospitals launches in Tbilisi, where our
medical insurance business has the highest concentration of its
insured clients, more of our medical insurance customers will be
utilising our inpatient services. At the same time, with our
polyclinics expansion strategy, we expect the retention rate to
improve further in the future, on a larger base, providing a
significant revenue boost for our healthcare services business. Our
facilities are increasingly favoured by these customers over
competitor facilities due to the quality and convenience of our
service, access to one-stop-shop style polyclinics and the ease of
claim reimbursement procedures.
The business posted gross profit of GEL 1.8 million in 2Q18 (up
160.8% y-o-y and up 28.2% q-o-q) and GEL 3.2 million in 1H18 (up
67.1% y-o-y).
Optimisation of operating expenses, mainly through
re-negotiation of terms and conditions with different service
providers, drove general and administrative expenses down y-o-y as
well as q-o-q. Salaries and other employee benefits are also down
8.6% in 1H18.
In line with our strategy to create new revenue sources, the
medical insurance business began participating in the Compulsory
Motor Third Party Liability Insurance Programme, effective in the
country from 1 March 2018. The profit from this is shown in other
operating income.
As a result, the y-o-y expense ratio improved in 2Q18 by 340 bps
and in 1H18 by 400 bps. The ratio was also improved q-o-q basis by
50 bps.
The business contributed GEL 0.5 million to EBITDA in 2Q18 and
GEL 0.7 million in 1H18, compared to negative contributions in the
same periods last year.
In 1Q18, the medical insurance business refinanced a foreign
currency denominated loan by sourcing less expensive funding from a
local commercial bank, decreasing its net interest expense as a
result.
Other operating highlights and notable developments, medical
insurance business
-- The number of persons insured was approximately 157,000 as of
June 2018.
-- Our medical insurance market share was 27.2% based on net
insurance premium revenue, as at 31 March 2018.
-- Our insurance renewal rate was 70.1% in 2Q18.

Principal risks and uncertainties
All principal risks identified by the Board may have an impact
on our business strategic objectives. These principal risks are
described in the table that follows, together with the relevant
strategic business objectives, key risk drivers/trends and the
mitigation actions we have taken. It is recognised that the Group
is exposed to risks wider than those listed. We disclose those we
believe are likely to have the greatest impact on our business at
this moment in time and which have been the subject of debate at
recent Board, Audit or Clinical Quality and Safety Committee
meetings. The order in which the Principal Risks and Uncertainties
appear does not denote their order of priority. It is not possible
to fully mitigate against all of our risks. Any system of risk
management and internal control is designed to manage rather than
eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and
can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against
material misstatement or loss.

INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO GEORGIA HEALTHCARE GROUP PLC (the
"Company")
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2018, which comprises the Interim
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Interim
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the
Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the
Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and related
notes 1 to 36. We have read the other information contained in the
half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any
apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with
guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements
2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
Directors' Responsibilities
The half yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half yearly financial report in accordance with
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the
Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') as adopted by the European Union. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half yearly
financial report has been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted
by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half yearly
financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes:
1. The maintenance and integrity of the Georgia Healthcare Group
PLC website is the responsibility of the directors; the work
carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these
matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for
any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements
since they were initially presented on the website.
2. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

2. Basis of Preparation
Basis of preparation
The financial information set out in these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements does not constitute the Group's
statutory financial statements within the meaning of section 434 of
the Companies Act 2006. Those financial statements were prepared
for the year ended 31 December 2017 under IFRS, as adopted by the
European Union and have been reported on by GHG's auditors and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2)
or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the
six months period ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union and the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority. The Group's annual financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
as adopted by the European Union.
2. Basis of Preparation (continued)
Basis of preparation (continued)
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all the information and disclosures required in the annual
consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at and
for the year ended 31 December 2017, signed and authorised for
release on 6 March 2018.
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported income and expense, assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements. Although these
estimates and assumptions are based on management's best judgement
at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements, actual results may differ from these estimates.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
presented in thousands of Georgian Lari ("GEL"), except per share
amounts and unless otherwise indicated.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditors and their review
opinion is included in this report.
Going concern
The GHG's Board of Directors has made an assessment of the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied
that it has the resources to continue in business for the
foreseeable future for a period of at least 12 months from the
approval of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material
uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's
ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared
on the going concern basis.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the
Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent
with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2017, except for the adoption of new standards effective as at 1
January 2018. The Group has not early adopted any other standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet
effective.
The Group applies, for the first time, IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for
the first time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. As
required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are
disclosed below.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9
Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9.
IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for
financial instruments project: classification and measurement,
impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Except for hedge
accounting, retrospective application is required but providing
comparative information is not compulsory. For hedge accounting,
the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some
limited exceptions.
The Group adopted the new standard on the required effective
date and has not restated comparative information. During 2018, the
Group has performed a detailed impact assessment of all three
aspects of IFRS 9.
(a) Classification and measurement
Classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 have no
significant impact on GHG's balance sheet or equity on applying the
classification. The Group continues measuring at amortized cost all
financial assets and liabilities. These items include: cash and
cash equivalents, amounts due from credit institutions, pharmacy
and distribution and healthcare receivables, loans issued,
borrowings, debt securities issued and accounts payable.
Loans as well as trade receivables are held to collect
contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows
representing solely payments of principal and interest. The Group
analysed the contractual cash flow characteristics of those
instruments and concluded that they meet the criteria for amortised
cost measurement under IFRS 9. Therefore, reclassification for
these instruments is not required.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the
Group (Continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)
(b) Impairment
IFRS 9 requires the Group to record expected credit losses on
all of its debt securities, loans and trade receivables, either on
a 12-month or lifetime basis. The Group applies the simplified
approach and records lifetime expected losses on all trade
receivables and contract assets.
The primary impact of adoption of the new impairment methodology
was on the following two accounts: allowance on receivables from
healthcare services and allowance on receivables from sales of
pharmaceuticals. Insurance premiums receivable were not impacted by
adoption of IFRS 9.
Cash and cash equivalents and Amounts due from credit
institutions
Due to the short-term and highly liquid nature of these
financial assets, the Group has assessed corresponding credit
losses to be immaterial. Therefore, no impairment was recognized
for Cash and cash equivalents and Amounts due from credit
institutions under IFRS 9.
Receivables
In applying the simplified impairment approach under IFRS 9, the
Group implemented four different assessment methods based on type
of receivables:
1. Individual assessment for Receivables from government;
2. Individual assessment for all other material receivables
(with a balance above GEL 250 thousand);
3. Individual assessment for Barter receivables in the pharmacy and distribution business; and
4. Collective assessment for all other receivables. Receivables
with shared credit characteristics are combined in different
portfolios for collective assessment. The Group has identified the
following main types of portfolios (with a balance less than GEL
250 thousand): receivables from healthcare services (mainly
receivables from individuals), receivables from sale of
pharmaceuticals, rent receivables and other receivables.
Receivables from government
JSC Medical Corporation Evex ("Evex") participates in the
Georgian state insurance programme - Universal Health Care ("UHC").
As a result, a significant part of receivables from healthcare
services (approximately 70%) is due from the Georgian Government
and municipal authorities. On the other hand, JSC Gepha ("Gepha")
participates in UHC's tenders, supplying medicaments to different
clinics. In addition, Georgian government co-pays the price of
certain medicines to individuals covered by the UHC. Therefore, a
considerable part of receivables from sales of pharmaceuticals
(approximately 15%) are also due from the Georgian government.
Receivables from government have unique credit characteristics,
which are different from those of any other financial instrument
currently owned by the Group. Considering this fact and materiality
of corresponding balance, the Group has concluded that receivables
from government should be considered for impairment on an
individual basis, separately from all other financial
instruments.
The Group uses credit ratings published by international
agencies, such as Standard & Poor's ("S&P") or Moody's, in
order to assess credit quality of state receivables. Similarly, the
probabilities of default to the respective category of credit
rating assigned to Georgia based on reports by the same
international agencies are used as a reasonable approximation of
probability of default ("PD") for receivables from government. PD
for receivables from government was based on the country's risk
rating. The Group will reconsider the PD rate used in the
impairment calculations at each reporting date.
Individually impaired debtors
For debtors a with receivable balance above GEL 250 thousand,
the Group considers each case individually and takes into account
various factors and individual circumstances. This process consists
of two main stages:
1) Counterparty's financial position is assessed based on: a)
financial results and ratios (when available); b) average
receivable overdue days to the Group; and c) any other
non-financial information available to the Group, such as any news
relevant to market sector in which particular debtor operates,
management inquiries, etc.
2) Based on this analysis, counterparty is then categorised by
the Group's management for credit risk assessment on an individual
basis. Each credit category is assigned with corresponding expected
credit loss rate, determined based on experience, management's
professional judgment and expectations for the future. Assessments
are performed on a quarterly basis. Macro-adjustments are
incorporated based on regression results and dependency factor on
GDP growth.
Financial ratios in this model are updated on an annual basis,
after audited financial statements of the counterparty are
published, while average overdue days, non-financial information
and expectations for the future are updated monthly.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the
Group (Continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)
(b) Impairment (Continued)
Barter receivables in pharmacy and distribution business
Gepha participates in barter transactions by supplying goods and
services in exchange for receiving other goods and services from
the counterparty. Both trade receivables and trade payables arise
as a result of these transactions, but settlement is made on a net
basis as required by corresponding contracts. Therefore, in
assessing barter receivables for impairment the Group takes into
account only net exposure from any individual counterparty, i.e.
part of receivables in excess of payables to the same counterparty.
These exposures are then assessed for impairment under IFRS 9 in
the same manner as described in the preceding section for
individually impaired debtors.
Collective assessment
For the purposes of implementing collective impairment
assessment of receivables from insurance companies and other large
counterparty entities under IFRS 9, debtor portfolios are
segregated into distinct risk buckets based on number of overdue
days. In defining 180 days as a cut-off period for default
definition, the Group considered actual payment history of
insurance companies and other large counterparty entities. Overdue
of 3 to 6 months was usual among creditworthy counterparties, while
more than 6 months period marked the sign for financial trouble.
The statistics were based on the Group's internal data. Five
separate risk buckets were implemented as presented below:
Overdue Category Description
Days
-------- --------- ------------
0-30 AA Excellent
31-60 A Good
61-90 B Normal
91-180 C Bad
181+ D Default
-------- --------- ------------
As for collective impairment assessment of receivables from
individuals and other small counterparties, we have five separate
risk buckets as presented below:
Overdue Category Description
Days
-------- --------- ------------
0-29 A Good
30-59 B Normal
60-89 C Bad
90+ D Default
-------- --------- ------------
IFRS 9 allows an entity to use a simplified "provision matrices"
for calculating expected losses as a practical expedient (e.g., for
trade receivables), consistent with the general principles for
measuring expected losses. However, IFRS 9 also requires
incorporating forward-looking information in the entity's
impairment framework.
The Group has decided to use this option and utilize provision
matrices in estimation of ECLs in case of collective assessment of
impairment. As mentioned above, the Group adopted the simplified
approach for trade receivables and directly considers life-time
losses for the entire portfolio i.e. expected lifetime credit
losses will be recognized for the entire portfolio regardless
whether or not significant increase in credit risk occurred since
initial recognition.. A migration matrix was used as a base for
determination of probability of defaults by categories. Exposure at
default was defined as the outstanding balance of debtor
exposure.
Forward looking component
Additionally, the Group incorporated macroeconomic
forward-looking information in the analysis to determine adjusted
default probabilities by categories. Considering the fact that
debtors in healthcare service and pharmacy and distribution
businesses are relatively small and mainly consist of individuals
or small entities from widely diverse regions from Georgia, the
Group believes that country-wide economic performance measure is
good fit for the purposes of expected performance evaluation of the
individually small debtors from all over the country. As such, real
GDP growth rate was assessed to be the best macro-economic
indicator on two arguments:
1) GDP growth rate is the single most important economy
performance indicator that is closely tied to actual well-being of
the citizens and small entities;
2) GDP growth rate is easily obtainable and has both, consistent
historical records as well as state forecast for coming years
enabling to incorporate in the expected credit loss modeling. The
Group regressed GDP growth rates over the past two years on
impairment rates (which is the same as PD assuming 100% LGD) and
found a statistically significant dependency factor.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the
Group (Continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)
(c) Hedge accounting
The Group determined that all existing hedge relationships that
are currently designated in effective hedging relationships will
continue to qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. The Group
has chosen not to retrospectively apply IFRS 9 on transition to the
hedges where the Group excluded the forward points from the hedge
designation under IAS 39. As IFRS 9 does not change the general
principles of how an entity accounts for effective hedges, applying
the hedging requirements of IFRS 9 will not have a significant
impact on Group's financial statements.
Adoption effect
In total, due to the unsecured nature of the Group's
receivables, the loss allowance increased by GEL 7,027 at the
transition date, which was 1 Juanuary 2018. The effect of adopting
IFRS 9 is, as follows:

Amendments to IFRS 4 Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with
IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts
The amendments address concerns arising from implementing the
new financial instruments standard, IFRS 9, before implementing
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, which replaces IFRS 4. The amendments
introduce two options for entities issuing insurance contracts: a
temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 and an overlay approach.
The group opted a temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9.
Other new standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by
the Group
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first
time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Group:
-- IFRIC Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Considerations;
-- Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property;
-- Amendments to IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions;
-- Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures - Clarification that measuring investees at fair value
through profit or loss is an investment-by-investment choice;
4. Segment Information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into three
operating segments based on the products and services - Healthcare
services, Pharmacy nad Distribution and Medical insurance. All
revenues of the Group result from Georgia.
Healthcare services are the inpatient and outpatient medical
services delivered by the referral hospitals, community hospitals
and ambulatory clinics owned by the Group throughout the whole
Georgian territory.
Medical insurance comprises a wide range of medical insurance
products, including personal accident insurance, term life
insurance products bundled with medical insurance and travel
insurance policies, which are offered by the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary Imedi L.
Pharmacy and distribution comprises a wide range of drugs and
parapharmacy products which are offered through a chain of
well-developed drug-stores by the Company's subsidiary JSC
GEPHA.
Management monitors the operating results of each of the
business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about
resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment
performance, as in the table below, is measured in the same manner
as profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Corporate center costs are allocated to segments.
More than 20% of the Group's revenue is derived from the State.
However, management believes that the government cannot be
considered as a single client, because the customers of the Group
are the patients that receive medical services and not the
counterparties that pay for these services. Therefore, no revenue
from transactions with a single external customer amounted to 10%
or more of the Group's total revenue in the period ended 30 June
2018 or 30 June 2017.

out-of-pocket revenues and only 10% is converted to receivables.
GHG applies 85% effective allowance rate to the uncollected portion
of revenues i.e. the 10% of the revenues from individuals.
During the six months period ended 30 June 2018, after
performing detailed analysis of recoveries of troubled receivables,
the Group wrote-off GEL 13,196 receivables from individuals that
were in overdues for more than one year.
9. Property and Equipment
The Group pledges its office and hospital buildings and assets
under construction as collateral for its borrowings. The carrying
amount of the land and office buildings and hospitals and clinics
pledged as at 30 June 2018 was GEL 398,578 (2017: GEL 397,436). The
Group engaged an independent appraiser to determine the fair value
of its land and office buildings and hospitals and clinics on 1
October 2017, which is the latest revaluation date. If the land and
office buildings and hospitals and clinics were measured using the
cost model, the carrying amounts of the buildings as at 30 June
2018 and 31 December 2017 would be as follows:

* Post-tax WACC (weighted average cost of capital) comprised

** Net of accumulated amortisation
In performing goodwill impairment testing the following key
assumptions were made:
-- WACC was used as a discount rate for the forecasted cash
flows. WACC was estimated using capital assets pricing model based
on the group's shares market beta.
-- 2018, 2019 and 2020 years' cash flow projections were modelled applying 4% - 27% growth.
Moderate, stable 4.9% real GDP growth was assumed based on the
external statistical forecasts for 2021 and beyond.
For the Healthcare cash generating unit, the following
additional assumptions were made over the first three-year period
of the business plan:
-- Further synergies from healthcare businesses will increase
cost efficiency and further improve operating leverage;
-- Growth of other healthcare business lines through an
increased market demand and economic growth.
Goodwill is tested at the lowest level monitored by management,
which is at the operating segment level. The Group performs
goodwill impairment testing annually. The latest impairment test
performed by the Group was as at 31 December 2017. The Group did
not identify any impairment of goodwill as at 31 December 2017. The
recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units have been
determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by senior
management covering from a one to three-year period. The Group did
not identify any indicators of impairment at at 30 June 2018.

Gains (losses) from sale/acquisition of shares in existing
subsidiaries

shareholders have a put option to sell their remaining 33% stake in
the combined pharmacy and distribution business to GHG during the

recognition, in accordance with IFRS requirements, the Group
recognised GEL 55 million (present value) liability to purchase the
remaining 33% shares - included in the payable for share
acquisitions caption. The non-controlling interest arising from the
consolidated pharmacy and distribution business, GEL 24 million,
was fully de-recognised in accordance with IFRS requirements. The
difference between the redemption liability of GEL 55 million and
the non-controlling interest of GEL 24 million was debited to
equity, resulting in a reduction of equity through other reserves
by GEL 31 million. The redemption liability is carried at fair
value and interest is unwound on each reporting date. The
difference between the unwound interest and the share of profit
attributable to the non-controlling interest is debited or credited
to other reserves to "Acquisition of additional interest in
existing subsidiaries" line. Current year change in the balance is
attributable to the above contract. The debit to other reserves
during six month period ended 30 June 2018 comprised GEL 5,258. As

subsidiaries" amounted to GEL 12,761 (2017: GEL 62,026), of which

shareholders.

to Note 3.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Regulatory capital requirements in Georgia are set by the ISSSG
and are applied to Imedi L solely on a stand-alone basis. The ISSSG
requirement is to maintain a minimum Capital of GEL 2,200, which
should be kept in current accounts. A bank confirmation letter is
submitted to ISSSG on a quarterly basis in order to prove
compliance with the above-mentioned regulatory requirement. Imedi L
regularly and consistently complies with the ISSSG regulatory
capital requirement.
Earnings per Share
For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share the
Group used profit for the six month period attributable to
shareholders of the Company of GEL 18,189 (2017: GEL 15,004) as a
numerator and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period ended 30 June 2018 of 128,591,923 (2017:
128,091,636) as a denominator. For diluted earnings per share, the
Group used the same numerator as for basic earnings per share and
used the weighted average number of shares outstanding together
with the number of shares granted to management during the period
ended 30 June 2018 of 131,681,820 (2017: 131,681,820) as a

resulted in duplicated positions. The project started in 2017 and
was mainly completed in the first quarter of 2018.
32. Share-based Compensation
In December 2017 the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to award
122,900 ordinary shares of GHG to the CEO of the Group. In December
2017 the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to award 107,200
ordinary shares of GHG to 3 executives. The shares were awarded
with a three-year vesting period, with continuous employment being
the only vesting condition for both awards. The Group considers 10
December 2017 as the grant date for the awards to the CEO and other
executives. The Group estimates that the fair value of the shares
awarded was GEL 12.54 per share as at grant date. The fair values
were identified based on market prices on grant date. As at 30 June
2018 no shares have been vested.
In February 2017 the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to award
141,981 ordinary shares of GHG to the CEO of the Group. In February
2017 the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to award 128,070
ordinary shares of GHG to 3 executives. The shares were awarded
with a three-year vesting period, with continuous employment being
the only vesting condition for both awards. The Group considers 28
February 2017 as the grant date for the awards to the CEO and other
executives. The Group estimates that the fair value of the shares
awarded was GEL 11.68 per share as at grant date. The fair values
were identified based on market prices on grant date. As at 30 June
2018, one third of the discretionary shares have been vested.
In February 2016, the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to
award 237,500 ordinary shares of GHG to the CEO of the Group. In
February 2016, the Board of Directors of GHG resolved to award
281,000 ordinary shares of GHG to 3 executives. The shares were
awarded with a three-year vesting period, with continuous
employment being the only vesting condition for both awards. The
Group considers 15 February 2016 as the grant date for the awards
to the CEO and other executives. The Group estimates that the fair
value of the shares awarded was GEL 6.28 per share as at grant
date. The fair values were identified based on market prices on
grant date. As at 30 June 2018, two thirds of the discretionary
shares have been vested. In January 2015, the CEO of the Group and
the deputies signed five-year fixed contingent share-based
compensation agreements for the total of 1,670,000 ordinary shares
of GHG. The total amount of shares allocated to each executive will
be awarded in five equal installments during the five consecutive
years starting January 2017, of which each award will be subject to
a four-year vesting period with 20% of shares vesting during the
first three years and 40% of shares vesting during the fourth year.
The Group considers 1 January 2015 and 29 April 2015 as the grant
dates for the awards to the CEO and deputies respectively. The
Group estimates that the fair value of the shares awarded was GEL
2.18 per share as at the respective grant dates. The respective
fair values were estimated using appropriate valuation techniques
based on market and income approaches. As at 30 June 2018, 12% of
the shares have been vested.
33. Capital Management
Capital under management consists of share capital, additional
paid-in capital, retained earnings including profit or loss of the
current period, revaluation and other reserves and non-controlling
interests. The Group has established the following capital
management objectives, policies and approach to managing the risks
that affect its capital position.
The capital management objectives are as follows:
-- To maintain the required level of stability of the Group
thereby providing a degree of security to the shareholders as well
as insurance policyholders for the insurance arm;
-- To allocate capital efficiently and support the development
of business by ensuring that returns on capital employed meet the
requirements of its capital providers and of its shareholders;
-- To maintain financial strength to support new business growth
and to satisfy the requirements of the shareholders, regulators as
well as insurance policyholders for the insurance arm.
Some operations of the Group are subject to local regulatory
requirements in Georgia. These requirments impose certain
restrictive provisions for the insurance arm, such as insurance
capital adequacy and the minimum insurance liquidity requirement,
to minimise the risk of default and insolvency and to meet
unforeseen liabilities as they arise.
During the six month period ended 30 June 2018 and year ended 31
December 2017 the Group complied with all regulatory requirements
as well as insurance capital and insurance liquidity regulations,
in full.
The Group's capital management policy for its insurance business
is to hold the least required amount of regulatory capital and,
also, to hold sufficient liquid assets to cover statutory
requirements based on the directives of ISSSG. The regulations of
ISSSG require that an insurance company must hold liquid assets of
at least 75% of its unearned premium reserve, net of gross
insurance premiums receivable, and 100% of its loss reserves.
Assets eligible for inclusion in liquid assets are: cash and cash
equivalents, amounts due from credit institutions, loans issued,
investment property as well as other financial assets, as defined
by ISSSG. The amount of such minimum liquid assets is called the
"Statutory Reserve".

The amounts and maturities in respect of the insurance contract
liabilities are based on management's best estimate supported by
statistical techniques and past experience. Management believes
that the current level of the Group's liquidity is sufficient to
meet all its present obligations and settle liabilities in timely
manner.
The Group also matches the maturity of financial assets and
financial liabilities and imposes a maximum limit on negative
gaps.
35. Related Party Transactions
In accordance with IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures, parties are
considered to be related if one party has the ability to control
the other party or exercise significant influence over the other
party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering
each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to
the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.
Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated
parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not
be effected on the same terms, conditions and amounts as
transactions between unrelated parties. All transactions with
related parties disclosed below have been conducted on an arm's
length basis.

36. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value hierarchy
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability. The
Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing
the fair value:
-- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities;
-- Level 2: techniques for which all inputs which have a
significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable,
either directly or indirectly; and
-- Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant
effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable
market data.
The following tables show analysis of assets and liabilities
measured at fair value or for which fair values are disclosed by
level of the fair value hierarchy. They also include a comparison
by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's
financial instruments that are carried in the financial
statements.

The Group only carries land and office buildings at fair value
(level 3). Refer to Note 9. The following is a description of the
determination of fair value for financial instruments and property
that are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques. These
incorporate the Group's estimate of assumptions that a market
participant would make when valuing the instruments.
Property and equipment
Property carried at fair value consists of land and buildings
and hospitals and clinics, for which fair value is derived by
certain inputs that are not based on observable market data. The
value of these assets is measured using the market and depreciated
replacement cost (DRC) approaches. The market approach uses prices
and other relevant information generated by market transactions
involving identical or comparable land and buildings respectively,
while DRC approach uses construction costs for similar
properties.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments valued using a valuation
technique with market observable inputs comprise forward foreign
exchange contracts. The applied valuation technique employs a
discounted forward pricing model. The model incorporates various
inputs including the foreign exchange spot and forward rates. Call
option represents option on acquisition of remaining 33% equity
interest in JSC GEPHA from non-controlling interests in 2022 based
on pre-determined EBITDA multiple (6.0 times EBITDA) of JSC Gepha.
The Group has applied binomial model for option valuation. Major
unobservable input for call option valuation represents volatility
of price of the underlying 33% minority share of equity, which was
estimated based on actual volatility of parent company's market
capitalisation from 1 January 2013 till 31 December 2017 period,
which equalled 34.7%. If the volatility was 10% higher, fair value
of call option would increase by GEL 2,012 if volatility was 10%
lower call option value would decrease by GEL 2,035. The Group
recognised GEL 1,212 unrealised gains on the call option during the
six month period ended 2018.

The following describes the methodologies and assumptions used
to determine fair values for those financial instruments that are
not already recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial
statements.
Assets for which fair value approximates carrying value
For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid
or have a short term maturity (less than three months) it is
assumed that the carrying amounts approximates their fair value.
This assumption is also applied to variable rate financial
instruments.
Fixed rate financial instruments
The fair values of fixed rate financial assets and liabilities
carried at amortised cost are estimated by comparing market
interest rates when they were first recognised with current market
rates offered for similar financial instruments. The estimated fair
value of fixed interest bearing deposits is based on a discounted
cash flow analysis using prevailing money-market interest rates for
debts with similar credit risk and maturity.
