| RON million | 30 September 2021 | 30 September 2020 |

The main contributor to the profit in the first nine months of 2021 was the net unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss amounting to RON 2,620.3 million, generated by OMV Petrom SA as a result of the positive evolution of this company's share price during the first nine months of 2021 (increase of RON 370.6 million, share price increase of 25.7%) and by the increase in the value of unlisted holdings in the portfolio following the valuation update process (mainly due to Hidroelectrica SA, that registered an increase in valuation of RON 2,104.6 million).

In accordance with the Fund's IPS, there are two performance objectives that the AIFM is aiming to achieve. The NAV objective refers to an Adjusted NAV1 per share in the last day of the Reporting Period higher than the reported NAV per share as at the end of the previous Reporting Period. The discount objective implies the discount between the closing price of the Fund's shares on BVB – REGS and the latest reported NAV per share to be equal to, or lower than 15%, in at least 2/3 of the trading days in the Reporting Period.
The Adjusted NAV per share as at 30 September 2021 was 31.14% higher than the 31 December 2020 NAV per share of RON 1.6974.

The total NAV as at 30 September 2021 was 19.5% higher compared to the end of 2020, while the NAV per share increased by 22.6% over the same period. OMV Petrom SA, the largest listed holding in the portfolio, recorded a share price increase of 25.7%, having a total NAV impact of RON 370.6 million. In addition, dividends were recorded for this company in amount of RON 116.7 million.

1 Summarizing the provisions of the IPS, the adjusted NAV for a given date is calculated as the sum of: (i) the reported NAV as at the end of the Reporting Period; (ii) any distributions to shareholders, being either dividend or non-dividend ones (i.e. in the last case following reductions of the par value of the shares and distribution to the shareholders), implemented after the end of the previous Reporting Period, and (iii) any distribution fee and any transaction/ distribution costs relating to either dividend or nondividend distributions including buy-backs of shares/ GDRs/ depositary interests executed through daily acquisitions or public tenders after the end of the previous Reporting Period. The adjusted NAV per share is equal to the adjusted NAV divided by the total number of the Fund's paid shares, less FP ordinary shares bought back and less equivalent in FP ordinary shares of FP GDRs acquired and not yet converted into FP ordinary shares, on the last day of the Reporting Period. For more details, please refer to the IPS available on the Fund's webpage.

The AIFM will continue its efforts to reduce and maintain a low discount to NAV as we firmly believe that the Fund's shares should be trading at a low level of discount to NAV given the quality of the underlying portfolio assets, our track record in working with the portfolio companies to improve efficiency and profitability, the attractive dividend yield, the ongoing buy-back programmes and our transparency, disclosure, and proactive investor relations efforts.
On 27 August 2021 FTIS was asked by the Board to consider certain additional terms to be negotiated for the new mandate, including:
1) Distribution Fee sharing with FTIS local team;
2) Key person retention policy;
3) Use of proceeds transparency policy (already mentioned below at sub-section Change of the Annual Cash Distribution Policy); and
4) No new investment policy.
FTIS has agreed to implement the first three terms proposed by the Board, subject to regulatory restrictions and guidelines. As to the fourth proposed term, FTIS noted the proposal of the Board and would like to indicate that based on its careful review and analysis, it has no current intention to make new investments. For more details, please see the draft of agreements as published on the website of the Fund at GSM information section.
The renewal process for FTIS mandate involves two steps, similar to 2017. The key commercial terms were approved as proposed during the shareholders' meeting that took place on 29 September 2021. During the second shareholder meeting that was called for 15 December 2021, the shareholders will be asked to vote on:
The updated IPS and
The new AIFM Management agreement.
1 The daily discount is calculated in accordance with the IPS, i.e. the discount between the FP shares closing price on the BVB – REGS for each trading day and the latest reported NAV per share at the date of calculation.
On 11 August 2021 FTIS presented the updated Annual Cash Distribution Policy to be implemented in the interest of the Fund's shareholders. Thus, FTIS decided to include in its periodical reports (annual reports, quarterly reports and semi-annual reports) as well as in the announcements ('current reports') for completing a certain material transaction, the use of proceeds from such transactions, and the calendar of such operations.

The eleventh buy-back programme has been finalized on 31 December 2020. During the 28 April 2021 Annual GSM, the Fund's Sole Director proposed, and the shareholders approved the cancellation of the 797,961,287 treasury shares repurchased in the eleventh buy-back programme. The Fund took all the required legal and regulatory steps for the cancelation of the shares.
During the 28 April 2021 Annual GSM the shareholders also approved the decrease of the subscribed share capital of the Fund from RON 3,749,282,292.08 to RON 3,334,342,422.84, following the cancellation of the 797,961,287 shares acquired within the eleventh buy-back programme.
The share capital decrease takes place based on Article 207 (1) (c) of Companies' Law no. 31/1990 and was effective starting with 25 October 2021.
For more details regarding subsequent events, please see section Subsequent events.
During the 13 November 2020 GSM the shareholders approved the twelfth buy-back programme for a maximum number of 800,000,000 shares and/ or equivalent GDRs corresponding to shares, starting with 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2021, at a price that cannot be lower than RON 0.2 per share or higher than RON 2 per share. The shares repurchased during the buy-back programme will be cancelled. The Fund selected Auerbach Grayson in consortium with Swiss Capital to provide brokerage services for the programme. The Fund is allowed to buy back daily up to 25% of the average daily volume of the Fund's shares (in the form of ordinary shares or GDRs) on the regulated market on which the purchase is carried out, calculated in accordance with the applicable law.
On 29 September 2021 the shareholders approved the increase of the maximum price for the twelfth buy-back programme from RON 2 per share to RON 2.5 per share. The increase is effective starting with 18 October 2021.
The Fund recognises the treasury shares (repurchases of own shares and GDRs) at trade date as a deduction from shareholders' equity (in an equity reserve account). Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost, including brokerage fees, distribution fees and other transaction costs directly related to their acquisition.
Upon completion of all legal and regulatory requirements, the treasury shares are cancelled and netted off against the share capital and/ or other reserves. The details on the accounting treatment to be applied for the registration and cancellation of treasury shares can be found in the FSA Norm no. 39/2015, article 75.
A negative equity element arises upon cancelation of the shares acquired in a buy-back programme, where the acquisition price is higher than the nominal value, but this does not generate an additional shareholder's equity decrease. At the cancellation date, only a reallocation between the equity accounts is booked, without any impact on profit or loss, and without generating additional shareholders' equity decrease (the decrease is recorded at share acquisition date).
Article 75 from Norm no. 39/2015 mentions that the negative balance arising on the cancellation of equity instruments may be covered from the retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting. As at 30 September 2021, the Fund's equity elements that could be used to cover the negative reserve are sufficient and include retained earnings, reserves and share capital.
The total negative reserves of RON 236,026,121, recorded by the Fund as at 31 December 2020, were related to the cancellation of the shares acquired within the tenth buy-back programme.
During the 28 April 2020 Annual GSM, shareholders approved the allocation of RON 236,026,121 from the 2019 audited profit to other reserves, in order to be available for covering the related negative reserves. During the 28 April 2021 Annual GSM, shareholders approved the coverage of the negative reserve using the amount of RON 236,026,121 allocated to other reserves specially for this purpose, according to the resolution of the 28 April 2020 GSM.
During the 28 April 2021 Annual GSM, shareholders approved the cancellation of the 797,961,287 treasury shares repurchased within the eleventh buy-back programme, and also the allocation to other reserves of RON 671,941,938 from the balance of distributions for which the statute of limitation occurred, and from the 2017-2019 FY, in order to be available for covering the related negative reserve. The negative reserve will be booked and recorded upon the finalisation of the legal required steps, while de actual coverage of this negative reserve using the amount of RON 671,941,938 transferred to other reserves will be submitted for shareholders' approval during the annual shareholders' meeting subsequent to the completion of all cancellation steps.
The table below shows the movement of the negative reserves during the first nine months of 2021:

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the epidemic of COVID-19 a pandemic.
Starting with 15 May 2020 there is a state of alert that was periodically extended and the next Government Decision in this regard is expected to be announced in November 2021. The authorities might impose additional local restrictions depending on the evolution of the pandemic context.
The Government has also implemented various measures to help the economy deal with COVID-19 pandemic effects, ensure social protection for vulnerable categories, and prepare the health system: extended guarantees for companies taking loans for investments and working capital, covering the costs with technical unemployment for companies that suspend their operations due to the pandemic, procurement of medical equipment and medical protection equipment, additional bonuses to healthcare sector employees, acquisition of hygiene goods, and the possibility to suspend mortgage and consumer loan payments for a limited period of time, as well as other measures.
Starting with September 2021 daily transmission numbers are rising across Central and Eastern European states, and Romania is experiencing record case and death rates as it grapples with the European Union's second-lowest vaccination rate. The political debates, the Government crisis, the record number of cases and the low vaccination rate hit the entire medical system and on 4 October 2021 the authorities decided to suspend for 30 days the nonemergency surgeries and admissions and to ask for help from EU. On 25 October 2021 additional restrictions were imposed and public schools were closed for at least 14 days. The EU digital Covid Certificate was introduced for a limited period of time entering certain buildings.
It is more than one year since Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic and even the momentum has weakened, the current projections are more optimistic compared to the previous year reflecting the additional fiscal support received in a few of the large economies and the anticipated vaccine-powered recovery in the second half of the year. After an estimated contraction of –3.3% in 2020, compared with July forecast the last global economy projections has been revised down marginally to 5.9% from 6% and is unchanged for 2022, of4.9%1 .
Regarding the monetary changes during the period, major central banks are assumed to leave policy rates unchanged throughout the forecast horizon (end of 2022). Some emerging market central banks have begun reducing support, and more are expected to follow suit later in 2021.
It is expected that the Romanian economy will experience a growth during 2021, depending on the evolution of the pandemic. According with National Commission for Strategy and Prognosis2 (April prognosis) the Romania's GDP contracted by 3.9% in 2020. Based on the Summer prognosis3 the real GDP growth was by 2.9% in the first quarter of 2021 and the Romania's GDP is estimated to be over 7.0% at the end of 2021. The European Commission's scenario thus places Romania in the first place among the Member States related to the economic advance.
During the 9 months period of 2021, the Romanian capital market4 registered significant increases for the investors trading on the BVB. Investors have allocated substantial financial resources to the Romanian capital market, where the total value of transactions with all types of financial instruments reached almost RON 13 billion, up 4.2% compared with the first nine months of the previous year In a context dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, the last 9 months brought an increase of BET index, and its equivalent including dividends, BET-TR. After the first nine months, the growth rate of the BET index amounted to 29%, with BET-TR up by 35.6%. In the trading session of 30 September, the BET index reached 12,645.10 points, while the BET-TR index was 22,381.9 points.
Given the current economic context as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, which caused significant economic changes around the world, the Fund has performed an assessment of the related impact on the valuation of unlisted holdings in the portfolio. KPMG Advisory Romania has assisted with the preparation of an analysis of multiples'

as at 30 September 2021, and considered that there is no need to perform a valuation update for any of the companies at 30 September 2021. In addition, with the assistance of KPMG Advisory, the Fund completed a new valuation report for Hidroelectrica SA. The total impact was an increase in value of the unlisted holding with 28.02%/ RON 2,122.7 million on the 30 September 2021 NAV, compared to the 31 December 2020 NAV.
During this volatile and uncertain period, the Fund will continue to closely monitor the evolution of financial markets and that of the specific industries the unlisted holdings operate in, and for each NAV reporting date will assess if an updated valuation is required.
The Sole Director has taken a number of precautionary measures to limit the impact of COVID-19 on the Fund's activity. The business continuity plan has been activated to protect and minimise risk to employees, while also ensuring no disruption to business operations and management of Fondul Proprietatea. The Sole Director has a robust and regularly tested work-from-home capability, and 90% of Bucharest employees have worked remotely since 16 March 2020. The Fund's business operations continue to be fully functional. At its headquarters, additional hygiene and disinfection measures have been implemented.
The communication with the Fund's shareholders takes place smoothly in the new circumstances: the Sole Director continues to provide regular updates to them via current reports, conference calls, usual calls, e-mails, and updates on the Fund's website. The only restriction that temporarily applies is that shareholders are no longer able to visit the Fund's office.
The Sole Director does not envisage difficulties for the Fund in fulfilling commitments to shareholders and obligations to third parties, the current and estimated future cash flows being sufficient to cover the payments and the ongoing distributions to shareholders during the year.
The European Union has set in motion a legislative programme to make environmental, social and governance concerns a central plank of regulation in the financial services industry. As part of this package, the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR) was published in December 2019 and needed to be implemented until March 2021. The AIFM has implemented a policy for integrating sustainability risks and opportunities into their research, analysis and investment decision-making processes. Sustainability risk means an environmental, social, or governance event or condition, that, if it occurs, could potentially or actually cause a material negative impact on the value of the Fund's investments. Sustainability risks can either represent a risk on their own or have an impact on other risks such as market risks, operational risks, liquidity risks or counterparty risks. Sustainability risks are important elements to consider in order to enhance long-term risk adjusted returns for investors and determine specific Fund's strategy risks and opportunities. Integration of sustainability risk may vary depending on the Fund's strategy, assets and/ or portfolio composition. The AIFM makes use of specific methodologies and databases into which environmental, social, and governance data from external research companies, as well as own research results, are incorporated. Assessment of sustainability risks is complex and may be based on ESG data, which is difficult to obtain and incomplete, estimated, out of date or otherwise materially inaccurate. Even when identified, there can be no guarantee that these data will be correctly assessed. To the extent that a sustainability risk occurs, or occurs in a manner that is not anticipated by the AIFM's models, there may be a sudden, material negative impact on the value of an investment, and hence on the NAV. Such negative impact may have an equivalent negative impact on the market price for shares traded on BVB or on GDRs traded on LSE.
The AIFM published at the beginning of March 2021 an updated Investor Disclosure paper presenting the sustainability risk, as requested under SFDR.
The investments underlying Fondul Proprietatea do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities, including enabling or transitional activities, within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation.
In August 2020, the Romanian Parliament enacted Law 173/2020 regarding certain measures for protecting national interest within the economic activity. The law entered into force on 16 August 2020, banning the sale of shareholdings owned by the Romanian state in national companies, banks or other companies in which the state is a shareholder, irrespective of the ownership percentage, for the next two years. Ownership transfers that commenced before the entry into force of the law are suspended for a two-year term. Even though this suspension will not apply to finalised privatisations, these restrictions have an impact on the Romanian market and further complicates the long-awaited listing of energy producer Hidroelectrica SA, Romania's most valuable state company, and other ongoing sales of companies where the state holds shares. On 5 October 2020, GEO no. 166/2020 entered into force, setting exceptions from Law 173/2020. On 3 February 2021, the Government proposed for Parliament's approval a new draft law that repeals the requirements of Law 173/2020, which was adopted by the Senate on 22 March 2021. The draft law is still in Parliament for other legislative procedure. There is no estimation as to when this law will enter into force and taken into account the current political instability, we do not expect any changes to occur until this report is published.
During 2020, the Parliament approved several changes to the Water Law which entered into force on 13 July 2020 while the Romanian Government changed the Water Law starting with 31 December 2020, via a GEO. According to these changes, all owners of water installations that collect underground or surface waters are required to install water metering devices within 6 months calculated from 13 July 2020. Failure to comply with this requirement, even for well justified technical reasons, could lead to the obligation to pay the water contribution to ANAR at the level of the maximum authorised flow.
For the purpose of calculating the water volume used by its hydropower plants to produce electricity, Hidroelectrica SA has been using an indirect calculation method based on the electricity volume produced by each hydro-unit. Hidroelectrica's management considers it is technically unfeasible to install standard water meters as required by the law, given the size and the variety of technical specifications of its power plants.
Following the latest changes approved in December 2020, further amendments to Romanian Water Law are currently debated in Parliament, with a potential impact on the activity of Hidroelectrica SA. On 8 February 2021, the Senate, as first chamber discussing the amendments, approved a change that would allow Hidroelectrica SA to continue to use indirect methods for determining the water volumes, as before July 2020 (i.e. cancelling the effects of the changes in legislation adopted after July 2020). The law then moved to the Chamber of Deputies which was the decisional body. Here it suffered unexpected changes brough by the Agricultural Commission which included a flat-water contribution for hydropower producer of RON 33/ MWh. This would push Hidroelectrica SA production costs in an average hydrological year to around RON 528 million from around RON 350 million based on the system until 2020, leading to a more than 10% increase in Hidroelectrica's overall average production cost. The law is currently reassessed by the same Agricultural Committee in the Chamber of Deputies.
The entire legislative process involves several mandatory steps, and the final wording of the law cannot be predicted.
The changes in legislation are estimated to be effective after the date of publication of this report. The Fund is monitoring the legislative process in Parliament, as well as Hidroelectrica's ongoing discussions with ANAR, in order to be able to assess any potential impact on the company. Considering the current political instability, we don't expect any changes to occur until this report is published.
In March 2021, FSA issued regulation 7/2021 regarding the obligations of the issuers, whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, to issue the annual financial statements in the single electronic reporting format, which was published in the Official Gazette of Romania and entered into force on 24 March 2021.
By means of this law, FSA delayed by one year the application of the ESEF requirements for listed companies' annual financial reports, starting with the reporting for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
Also, FSA allowed listed companies who wish to publish their ESEF 2020 annual financial reports to proceed. For the year end 2020, the Fund voluntary decided to publish the Annual Report in the single electronic reporting format, which can be found on Fondul Proprietatea's website.
In March 2021, FSA published the Regulation no. 6/2021 amending and supplementing the Regulation no 7/2020 on the authorisation and functioning of alternative investment funds, which modifies the NAV monthly report. The changes would be applicable to the Fund starting the date when the Fund's registration process as an alternative investment fund with the FSA is finalized – as at today we cannot estimate when this process will be completed due to the high number of subjects in discussion between the Fund and the FSA.
In October 2021, FSA issued Regulation 14/2021 amending the Regulation 7/2020 (AIF Regulation). The amendments are related to the NAV disclosure rules and implement the current market practice rules.
In September 2021, FSA issued the regulation 13/2021, amending the FSA Regulation 5/2018 which provides revised rules on public tender offers, shareholders identification, shareholders meeting organization. The only material impact for the Fund is that the first report on remuneration will be drafted based on the remuneration policy as approved by shareholders in April 2021 and it will be submitted for shareholders' approval for the financial year 2021 in same time with 2021 annual report.
The key performance indicator of the Fund is its Net Asset Value. The Fund is required to publish a monthly net asset value per share in accordance with the local rules issued by the capital market regulator, no later than 15 calendar days after the reporting month end and after the dates when share capital changes are recorded within Trade Register.
All NAV reports are published on the Fund's website at www.fondulproprietatea.ro, together with the share price and discount / premium information.
Listed securities are valued either at closing market prices if listed on regulated markets, or at reference prices if listed on an ATS. Illiquid and unlisted securities are valued using the fair value determined either by reference to published prices on the stock exchange where shares are traded (listed securities) or assessed using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The holdings in the companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity are valued at zero.
The treasury shares acquired through buybacks are excluded from the number of shares used in the NAV per share computation. Due to the fact that in substance the Fund's GDRs are similar to the ordinary shares to which they correspond, in the computation of the number of shares used for the NAV per share calculation, the equivalent number of shares corresponding to the GDRs bought back and held by the Fund as at the NAV reporting date is also deducted, together with the number of ordinary own shares bought back and held.
Romanian AIF Law and AIF Regulation became effective in 2020, requiring the Fund to apply for FSA authorisation as an AIF and bringing various changes to the internal procedures of the Fund, including the NAV reporting process. The current NAV calculation methodology did not require any significant change, as the valuation rules for the portfolio instruments are mainly the same. Most of the amendments in the new AIF legislation refer to:
However, the changes would be applicable to the Fund starting the date when the Fund's registration process as an alternative investment fund with the FSA is finalised.
The following chart shows information on the monthly published NAVs per share for the period 31 December 2020 to 30 September 2021:

Source: Fondul Proprietatea, based on NAV reports submitted to the FSA, computed for the last working day of the month
During the first quarter of 2021, the NAV per share had an increase of 7.0% compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the positive share price evolution of the Fund's listed holdings, principally OMV Petrom SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 263.6 million or RON 0.0436 per share) and due to the increase in valuation of the unlisted holding Hidroelectrica SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 417.9 million or RON 0.0691 per share).
During the second quarter of 2021, the NAV per share had an overall increase of 6.3% compared to the end of the first quarter, mainly due to the dividends recorded from portfolio companies (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 649.0 million) to the valuation update of the unlisted holdings in the portfolio (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 504.5 million compared with 31 March 2021), as well as to the twelfth buyback programme carried out by the Fund during this period.
In June 2021, the Fund performed valuation updates for 8 unlisted holdings representing 97.9% of the Fund's total unlisted portfolio on 31 March 2021. The valuation was performed with the assistance of KPMG Advisory, in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The valuation date for the updated reports is 31 May 2021 (date for the market multiples) and is based on the financial data of the companies as at 31 March 2021. The reports also consider all relevant subsequent events until 30 June 2021 (e.g. dividends declared, changes in legislation, etc.).
The total impact of the valuation update was an increase of RON 922.8 million compared to the 31 December 2020 NAV, and an increase of RON 504.5 million compared with the 31 March 2021 NAV.
The table below presents information regarding the changes in the value of the unlisted holdings in the Fund's portfolio during the six months ended 30 June 2021:

| 8,329.3 | 7,824.8 | 7,406.5 | 922.8 | 8.99% |
During the third quarter of 2021 the NAV per share increased by 7.8% compared with the previous quarter mainly due to the valuation update of Hidroelectrica SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 1,194.5 million) and by the share price evolution of the Fund's listed holdings, principally OMV Petrom SA (impact of the Funds NAV of RON 126.8 million).

Note:
On 12 November 2020, the Fund subscribed to the share capital increase of Hidroelectrica SA with a cash contribution of RON 415,110, which was effective on 15 January 2021, at the registration date with the Romanian Trade Register.
On 18 February 2021, the Fund subscribed to the share capital increase of Societatea Nationala a Sarii SA with a cash contribution of RON 55,720, which was effective on 24 August, the date of registration with the Romanian Trade Register.

CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021 a General Shareholders Meeting that took place on 25 October 2021 for the approval of a share capital increase with the land inside the Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian state's contribution in kind to the company's capital. The proposed value for the share capital increase was initially RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time the process to increase the share capital is initiated since 2001, when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.
During 26 October 2021 (during second call of the shareholders meeting) the share capital increase was approved only with Romanian State votes in favour as follows:
Fondul Proprietatea already expressed its opinion strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.
Fondul Proprietatea started court cases for the annulment of the shareholders resolutions asking the court to suspend the entire process till the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders and will continue to update its shareholders regarding the subsequent events regarding this process.
The duration of court cases in Romania is not predictable. However, the Fund uses all legal available means to have a solution for this issue as soon as possible.
On 22 October 2021 during the GSM of CE Oltenia, shareholders approved the partial coverage of the accumulated accounting losses registered by CE Oltenia as of 31 December 2020, proportionally by all shareholders of the company. The accounting losses in the amount of RON 1 billion will be covered by reducing the share capital from RON 1,270,318,090 to RON 270,318,090, respectively from 127,031,809 shares to 27,031,809 shares, with a nominal value of RON 10.00 each. The share capital decrease operation will be effective at the date of registration with the Romanian Trade Register. Following the share capital decrease operation, the Fund will maintain its 21.559% stake holding 5,828,033 shares, with a total nominal value of RON 58,280,330.
In January 2020, the Government issued GEO 1/2020 in order to repeal most of the fiscal package approved in 2018 through GEO 114/2018. As a result, starting with 2021, the electricity market has been fully liberalised, and the obligation previously imposed on certain producers to deliver electricity on regulated contracts to the suppliers of last resort to cover household electricity consumption, has been fully eliminated.
The Ministry of Energy has launched in public consultation a draft law for the amendment of the Romanian electricity and natural gas law (Law 123/2012), as per the obligation to transpose the European Directive 944/2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity into the Romanian law. According to the draft law, the following types of transactions can be concluded on the wholesale competitive market: a) directly negotiated bilateral transactions; b) transactions concluded following the conduct of auctions on organized markets, including the electricity balancing market; c) electricity import and export transactions. As such, Romanian electricity producers would be allowed to conclude directly negotiated bilateral contracts, a significant change from the current situation where for existing production capacities, producers are obliged to sell the electricity on centralised markets.
Starting with 1 January 2021 there is no more regulated market as regards to the electricity producers. Please see the 2020 Annual report for the last regulated quantities and prices for the companies in the Fund's portfolio, according with ANRE decisions.
The Government repealed provision of GEO no. 70/2020 article 72, paragraph (1), which required electricity and natural gas distributors to provide uninterruptible power and gas supply during the state of alert through GEO no. 84/2021 published in the Official Gazette on 6 August. The previous provision was contingent upon incidents causing grid disconnection, forcing power and natural gas suppliers to delay the above-mentioned operations until the state of alert ends.
New provision allows a transitory period for end users to pay the invoices within 90 days once the new ordinance comes into effect (6 August). According to the memorandum, the amount power and gas suppliers should recover stands at RON 249 million as at 31 May.
Parliament through Law no. 259/2021 modified EGO no. 118/2021 related to the compensation scheme for consumption of electricity and natural gas for the cold season 2021-2022 i.e. between 1 November 2021 and 31 March 2022. The Law was published into the Official Gazette of Romanian on 29 October 2021. As such Law no. 259 /2021 introduces for different categories of end-consumers (among which households, micro-enterprises, SMEs) several support schemes for the payment of the electricity and gas bills.
Subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions referring to the consumption volume and the level of prices from the electricity and gas supply contracts compared to the reference prices established by law, for household customers Law no. 259 / 2021 provides for a unit compensation amounting to a maximum of 0.291 lei / kWh, in the case of electricity and up to 33% of the value of the natural gas price component from the supply contract of the beneficiary customer, in the case of natural gas.
For small and medium enterprises, micro-enterprises, and other categories defined by law, the law provides for the exemption, in the case of electricity, from the payment of regulated tariffs (the tariff for introduction / extraction from the network, the distribution tariff, the system service tariff, the transport tariff) as well as from the payment of green certificates, the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the excise duties and in the case of natural gas the exemption from the payment of the transport cost, the distribution tariff and of excise duties.
Also, for households and other categories of end consumers defined in the law, Law no. 259 / 2021 capped final invoiced retail electricity and gas prices at RON 1.0 / kwh for electricity (out of which at RON 0.525 / kWh for the active electricity tariff) and at RON 0.370 / kwh for gas respectively (out of which the gas component will be a maximum of RON 0.250 / kWh) during the cold season 2021-2022.
According to the law, the costs associated with the end- consumer support schemes and the price caps should be supported from the State Budget.
Also, between 1 November 2021 and 31 March 2022 Law no. 259 / 2021 introduces for electricity producers the taxation at an 80% rate of the additional revenues resulting from the difference between the average monthly selling price and RON 450 per MWh. Fossil fuel electricity producers including cogeneration plants were exempted from the additional taxation.
The gas distribution tariffs for one company in Fondul Proprietatea's portfolio (Engie subsidiary, operating in the gas distribution sector) were approved by ANRE in June 2021, as follows:
| Company | Annual consumption (MWh) | Tariffs applicable starting 1 July 2020 (RON/MWh) |

According to ANRE's Order no. 1/ 20 January 2021 and Order no. 3/ 20 January 2021, effective starting with 1 February 2021, the regulator allows for electricity and gas distribution companies the following:
As per currently available information from the grid operator, national electricity consumption was 3% higher compared to the same quarter of 2020, while national electricity production was flat, Romania remaining a net power importer in Q3 2021, same as in Q3 2020.
As per OMV Petrom's estimates, national gas consumption decreased by approximately 13% compared to the very high Q3 2020 demand which was enabled by the low-price environment at that time. On the Romanian centralized markets, the weighted average price of natural gas for transactions with medium and long-term standardized products closed in Q3 2021 (10.9 TWh) was RON 217/MWh (Q3 2020: RON 56/MWh for standard products traded). Regarding short-term deliveries, on BRM day-ahead market, the average price in Q3 2021 was RON 221/MWh (Q3 2020: RON 48/MWh).

*Based on separate IFRS financial statements (for 2020 including special dividend)
February: The company reported 2020 preliminary results. Consolidated sales decreased in Q4 2020 by 37% y.o.y., negatively impacted by lower sales volumes and prices for petroleum products and natural gas, as well as lower sales volumes for electricity, partially offset by higher prices for electricity. The Clean CCS (current cost of supply) Operating Result of RON 467 million in Q4 2020 was lower by 58% y.o.y., mainly due to the negative evolution in Upstream, triggered by lower crude oil and gas prices, and lower refining margins in Downstream Oil, partially mitigated by better market conditions in the power sector for the Downstream Gas segment.
Full year 2020 net income attributable to shareholders was RON 1,291 million (2019: RON 3,635 million). The Executive Board proposed a 2020 dividend per share of RON 0.031, the same as last year. This implies a dividend pay-out ratio of 136%.
April: Shareholders approved the distribution of RON 1.76 billion as dividends and the Fund will receive approx. RON 122.9 million. Q1 2021 results were broadly in line with market expectations, as the clean CCS operating profit came in just 2% below consensus at RON 653 million. Higher oil prices significantly increased E&P's (exploration and production) earnings generation capacity, as expected.
July: Q2 2021 net profit doubled y.o.y. to RON 406 million, but came in below consensus, as it was hit by negative one-offs of RON 403 million from the sale of upstream assets in Kazakhstan and temporary losses from electricity forward contracts. The management revised its upstream production guidance to a decline of 6% y.o.y. vs 5% previously. Gas sales volumes were down by 12% y.o.y. to 11.2 TWh, as equity gas production decreased and the regulatory-required large sales volumes in Q2 2020 created a high base effect. On the centralized markets, OMV Petrom sold at an average price in line with the market price i.e. ca. RON 120/MWh vs RON 81/MWh in Q1 2020.
October: On a quarterly basis, OMV Petrom's net profit continued to improve in Q3 2021 to RON 696 million, compared to a net loss during the same period of last year. Consolidated sales revenues increased by 37% compared to Q3 2020, mainly supported by higher sales of petroleum products in terms of both prices and volumes, partially offset by lower sales volumes of natural gas and electricity. The Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 1,341 million in Q3 2021 was 2.4 times higher y.o.y., mainly due to the significant contribution of the increase in crude oil prices, and of the Downstream Oil segment, mainly as a result of much higher refining margins, partly offset by lower contribution from Downstream Gas. Special items comprised net charges of RON 465 million, largely driven by net temporary losses from power forward contracts in Downstream Gas.
The 2021 budget of the company was prepared based on the following main assumptions:
Management presented the impact of movements in oil price market environment on company's operation for 2021, thus:
Management bumped up the FY 2021 guidance for oil prices to USD 70/bbl (previously USD 65-70/bbl). Refining margins are expected to be around USD 5/bbl, up from the previous guidance of USD 4/bbl. Capex expectations for this year were lowered a bit to RON 2.9 billion, from RON 3.0 billion previously. However, decline in production is seen at 7% y.o.y., up from 6% previously. Mid-term guidance (2022-2023) remains unchanged: crude price of USD 60/bbl, refining margins around USD 5/bbl, capex around RON 3.8 billion, and 5% decline in production per year.

The cash and cash equivalents (liquid assets) of the Fund during the first nine months of 2021 included term deposits with banks and government bonds issued by the Ministry of Public Finance of Romania. All instruments are denominated in RON and have maturities of up to one year.
The decrease in liquid assets by 44.2% during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mainly due to cash outflows related to dividend payments (RON 769.8 million), the acquisition of treasury shares performed during the twelfth buy-back programme (RON 256.7 million), which were offset mainly by the proceeds registered from the sale of bonds – net increase of RON 297.4 million and dividends received (RON 649.0 million)
Payables have increased by 29% compared to 31 December 2020 mainly due to the increase of the management fee accrual to be paid for a three-month period (RON 16.5 million at December 2020 compared to RON 23.5 million at September 2021). This increase is mainly due to higher market price of the Fund shares in the period July-September 2021 compared to October-December 2020 and as a result of the additional fee recorded for the share price discount to NAV lowering below 20% and 15%.
Other liabilities have increased by 129% compared to 31 December 2020 due to the increase of the amounts payable to shareholders as there were two dividend distributions in 2021 (Payment dates: 22 June and 27 August) and not all correspondent amounts have been transferred to shareholders yet.
The net increase in equity investments of RON 2,523.7 million during the first nine months of 2021 was principally generated by the increase in the fair value of the unlisted portfolio holding Hidroelectrica SA (RON 2,104.6 million increase), and also as a result of the positive evolution of OMV Petrom SA share price (+25.7%) which generated an increase in value of RON 370.6 million.
Starting 1 January 2014, Fondul Proprietatea applies the Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 - Investment Entities, the Fund being an investment entity. As a result, the Fund classifies and measures its investments in subsidiaries and associates as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Starting 1 January 2018, the Fund adopted IFRS 9 and classified all its equity investments (other than subsidiaries and associates) as equity investments at fair value through profit or loss (the default option under IFRS 9).
The equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and the transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with all changes in fair value accounted for through profit or loss. Equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to impairment testing.
As at 30 September 2021, all the equity investments of the Fund were carried at fair value.
Listed shares are measured at fair value using quoted prices for that instrument at the reporting date.
The fair value of unlisted shares is calculated and approved by the Fund's Sole Director using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards, based on independently appraised valuation reports.
The holdings in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or with negative shareholders' equity, companies in insolvency or reorganisation are valued at nil.
Capital expenditure comprises the costs for the acquisition and upgrade of the intangible assets of the Fund, which include the value of the licenses, the implementation costs and the updates of the Fund's accounting and reporting software, net of the accumulated amortisation. During the first nine months of 2021 the Fund did not incur any capital expenditure costs.

* Other income/ (expenses), net included mainly the net gain/ (loss) from fair value changes related to government securities, net foreign exchange gain/ (loss) and other operating income/ (expenses).
The net increase from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the first nine months of 2021 of RON 2,513.2 million was mainly generated by the increase in the value of unlisted holdings in the portfolio following the valuation update process (mainly due to Hidroelectrica SA, that registered an increase in valuation of RON 2,104.6 million), and by OMV Petrom SA as a result of the positive evolution of this company's share price (increase of RON 370.6 million, share price increase of 25.7%).
Gross dividend income for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 included the dividend income earned from the Fund's portfolio companies, mainly from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 456.0 million) and OMV Petrom SA (RON 122.8 million).
Interest income arose from deposits held with banks and from short-term government securities.
Details regarding the administration fees for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 are presented in the table below:

The increase in the administration fees in the first nine months of 2021 compared with the first nine months of 2020 was mainly due to:
The increase in distribution fees recognized through profit and loss is due to the fact that in 2021 there were two dividend distributions (Payment dates 22 June 2021 and 27 August 2021) whereas in 2020 there was only one distribution (Payment date 1 July 2020).
The decrease in distribution fee which is recognised in other comprehensive income is due to the lower number of bought back shares during the period (114.5 million shares bought back as at 30 September 2021 compared to 431.0 million shares bought back as at 30 September 2020, representing a 73.4% decrease and 41.1 million shares corresponding to GDR as at 30 September 2021 compared to 175.8 million as at 30 September 2020, representing a 76.6% decrease).

In the first nine months of 2021, other expenses caption comprised mainly legal and litigation assistance expenses, Board of Nominees remuneration and related expenses, portfolio valuation expenses, external audit expenses and PR expenses.
Transaction costs decreased significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to the fact that there were no holdings sold in the current year.
The transactions with related parties were performed in the normal course of business of the Fund and there were no significant transactions during the first nine months of 2021. For more details, please see Annex 1 "Condensed Interim Financial Statements".

On 25 October 2021, the Bucharest Trade Registry registered the Resolution no. 3 / 28 April 2021 of the Fund's EGSM for approving the decrease of the subscribed registered share capital from RON 3,749,282,292.08 to RON 3,334,342,422.84 pursuant to the cancellation of 797,961,287 own shares acquired by Fondul Proprietatea during 2020, endorsed by FSA through Endorsement no. 344/11 October 2021.
Consequently, starting with 25 October, the new value of the Fund's subscribed share capital is RON 3,334,342,422.84 (divided into 6,412,196,967 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52/share), while the value of the paid-up share capital is RON 3,145,160,000.84 (divided into 6,048,384,617 shares with the same par value as above-mentioned). As a reminder, the difference between the subscribed and paid-up share capital derives from unpaid subscriptions owed by the Romanian State represented by the Ministry of Public Finance in amount of RON 189,182,422.00 (i.e. 363,812,350 shares with the same par value as above-mentioned). As a result, the new limit for the GDR Facility is 42,747,979 GDRs.
On 5 October 2021, the coalition Government failed a non-confidence vote in the Parliament and has been operating on interim basis, with limited powers. Subsequent to that, there were two failed attempts to put in place a new full powers Government. The political crisis and instability have an impact on the regulatory actions and decision relevant to Fondul (e.g. listings). The political environment and actions have a continuous impact on the Fund's companies and their financial situation and may impact the overall performance of the Fund, potentially leading to increased price volatility.
Considering the political environment above, there are also amplified risks with respect to legal and regulatory implications driven by governmental actions to contain the COVID19 virus and/ or limit the economic impact of the energy and gas prices for the wider population.
On 3 November 2021 the AIFM called the next shareholders meetings that will take place on 15 December 2021, proposing following items for shareholders' approval:

Fondul Proprietatea SA (referred to as "Fondul Proprietatea" or "the Fund") was incorporated as a joint stock company and is operating as an undertaking for collective investment, in the form of a closed end investment company, established in accordance with Law no. 247/2005 on the reform in the field of property and justice and other adjacent measures, as subsequently amended ("Law 247/2005") and registered in Bucharest on 28 December 2005. The address of the Fund's registered office is 78 - 80, Buzeşti Street, 7th Floor, District 1, Bucharest.
Starting 1 April 2016, Fondul Proprietatea is an alternative investment fund as defined by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and by the Romanian legislation.
The Fund undertakes its activities in accordance with Law 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations, Law 74/2015 regarding Alternative Investment Fund Managers, Law 247/2005, Law 297/2004 regarding the capital market, as subsequently amended, Law 243/2019 regulating the alternative investment funds and amending and supplementing certain normative acts and Companies Law 31/1990 republished as subsequently amended and it is an entity authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA, as an issuer. Until 2013, FSA (the financial market supervisory authority) was known as the National Securities Commission. In accordance with its Constitutive Act, the main activity of the Fund is the management and administration of its portfolio.
The Fund was initially established to allow the payment in shares equivalent of the compensation due in respect of abusive expropriations undertaken by the Romanian State during the communist period, when properties were not returned in kind. Beginning with 15 March 2013, the compensation process was suspended and starting January 2015, the Romanian State decided to use a different compensation scheme that no longer involves the payment in Fondul Proprietatea shares equivalent.
Starting with 1 April 2016 the Fund is managed by Franklin Templeton International Services S.à r.l. ("FTIS") as its Sole Director and Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") under the Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and local implementation regulations. The FTIS' mandate is for a period of two years and current mandate was approved in June 2019 for the period 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2022. The next mandate for the period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2024 was approved by the Fund's shareholders during 29 September 2021 shareholders' meeting.
Until 30 November 2020, FTIS had delegated the role of Investment Manager, as well as certain administrative functions to Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom, Bucharest Branch ("FTIML"). Starting 1 December 2020, the activity carried out by FTIML through the delegation agreement ceased by mutual consent of the parties. Therefore, starting this date, the portfolio management and the administrative activities previously delegated to FTIML are performed by FTIS through its Bucharest Branch.
Since 25 January 2011, Fondul Proprietatea has been a listed company on the spot regulated market managed by the Bucharest Stock Exchange in Tier I shares of the Equity Sector of the market (renamed as of 5 January 2015 as Premium Tier shares), under ISIN number ROFPTAACNOR5 with the market symbol "FP".
Since 29 April 2015, the Fund's Global Depositary Receipts ("GDR") have been listed on the London Stock Exchange – Specialist Fund Market, under ISIN number US34460G1067, with the market symbol "FP.". The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed by the Fund to act as depositary bank in relation to the GDR facility. The GDR facility is limited to one-third of the Fund's subscribed share capital under the Romanian securities regulations, each GDR representing 50 shares, and the currency of the GDRs is the US dollar.
These condensed interim financial statements for the nine month period ended 30 September 2021 are not audited.
These condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting and applying the FSA Norm 39/2015. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are available starting with 15 November 2021, on the Fund's official webpage, www.fondulproprietatea.ro , and at the Fund's registered office.
The Fund is an investment entity and does not consolidate its subsidiaries as it applies IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (Investment Entities). In consequence, the Fund does not prepare consolidated financial statements, the separate financial statements being the Fund's only financial statements. The Fund has reassessed the criteria for being an investment entity for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 and continues to meet them.
In determining whether the Fund meets the criteria from the definition of an investment entity, the management considered the investments portfolio structure and the Fund's investment objective. Aspects considered in making this judgement were the fact that the Fund has more than one investment, more investors neither of which are related parties of the Fund and the ownership interests from its portfolio are in the form of equity. The Fund's investment objective is also a typical one for an investment entity, respectively the maximization of returns to shareholders and the increase of the net asset value per share via investments in Romanian equities and equity-linked securities. The Fund's management analysis considered also other relevant factors, including the fact that almost all Fund's investments are accounted for using the fair value model.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a fair value basis for the main part of the Fund's assets (equity investments, treasury bills and government bonds, respectively), and on the historical cost or amortised cost basis for the rest of the items included in the financial statements.
These condensed interim financial statements are prepared and presented in Romanian Lei (RON), which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency. All financial information presented in RON has been rounded to the nearest unit.
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information and critical judgements in applying accounting policies with significant areas of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in these condensed interim financial statements are included in the following notes:
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
Due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economic activity and global financial markets, Fund's Sole Director estimates that the financial position and performance of the Fund was and may also be affected in the future as well, especially by the negative change in fair value of the Fund's holdings which is recorded in profit or loss and also by the decrease of income from dividends received from portfolio companies.
During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 the Fund's Sole Director performed a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peers companies and adjusted the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, where the case (see Note 5 for further details on fair value adjustments).
However, an accurate quantification of the further impact is difficult to estimate due to limited availability of the information, volatility and uncertainties existing in the market. Nevertheless, the Fund's Sole Director does not estimate difficulties in fulfilling the Fund's commitments to shareholders and obligations to third parties, the current and estimated future cash flows being sufficient to cover the payments to third parties and the distributions to shareholders.
The Fund's Sole Director will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied on a national and international level.
The significant accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Fund's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed interim financial statements.

The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 2,104,184,890) and OMV Petrom SA (unrealised gain of RON 370,591,745), as a result of the strong performance of these companies. The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Nuclearelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 39,538,643).

The dividend income was subject to 5% Romanian withholding tax during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020. In cases where the relevant shareholding of the Fund was above 10% of total share capital of the paying company, for at least one year prior to the dividend distribution date, a withholding tax exemption is applied.
According to the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions received from portfolio companies are not subject to Fund's dividend distribution to shareholders. The Fund Manager may propose the distribution to shareholders of such amounts after considering the on-going measures imposed by the Discount Control Mechanism and the available cash. For the purpose of the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions are the amounts distributed by the portfolio companies from other sources than the annual net profit included in the latest annual financial statements. From the total gross dividend income for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 a total amount of RON 252,330,382 represented special cash distributions (nine-month period ended 30 September 2020: RON 683,070,542).

On 29 June 2020, the Fund extended the credit facility concluded with BRD - Groupe Societe Generale SA for a period of another two years, until 29 June 2022. The credit facility is for general corporate and operational use and has a committed amount of RON 45,000,000. The Fund may access, subject to bank's approval and in accordance with the provisions of the credit facility agreement, additional financing in excess of the said committed amount, without exceeding a total amount of RON 100,000,000 at any given time.
The Fund did not use the credit facility until the date of these condensed interim financial statements. The finance costs for the nine month period ended 30 September 2021 of RON 68,250 (nine month period ended 30 September 2020: RON 53,500) comprise the commitment fee on undrawn amounts from the credit facility.
There are no outstanding amounts from the credit facility as at 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020.
No current tax and no deferred tax were recorded during the nine month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020.

The fiscal result impact as at 30 September 2021 of RON 56,901,639 included in the table above represents the current tax on profit for the first nine months of 2021 which was offset by the Fund's tax losses carried forward. The fiscal result impact as at 30 September 2020 of RON 98,690,517 included in the table above represents the unrecognised deferred tax for the tax losses recorded in the first nine months of 2020.
As at 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020 there is no income tax due or to be recovered from the State Budget by the Fund.
See Note 12 Deferred tax for details regarding the deferred tax computation and recognition.
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary paid shares in issue during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Fund and held as treasury shares (based on their settlement date). As at 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020, none of the Fund's issued shares or other instruments had dilutive effect, therefore basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are the same.

The cash held in the distributions bank accounts can only be used for payments to shareholders. Such payments are subject to a general statute of limitation, respectively the shareholders may request the payments only within a three-year term starting with the distribution payment date, except for specific instances that are individually assessed.
As at 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020 there is no difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities that could result in amounts that are deductible/ taxable when determining taxable profit or tax loss of future periods. In consequence, as at 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020, the net deferred tax position is nil as the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability.
As at 30 September 2021 the unused fiscal loss carried forward amounts to RON 3,064,945,130 (31 December 2020: RON 3,420,608,901) out of which RON 2,564,420,345 will expire on 31 December 2022 and RON 500,524,785 will expire on 31 December 2027.
As at 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020 the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses carried forward as there is a high probability that there will be insufficient future taxable profit against which the loss carried forward can be utilised.
The effective tax rate used to calculate the deferred tax position of the Fund is 16% (standard tax rate).
There was no movement in the deferred tax position during the nine month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020. The deferred tax balances during both these periods were zero.
All Fund's equity investments are classified at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value hierarchy for the other assets and liabilities which are not classified at fair value through profit or loss but for which the fair value amount was disclosed in these condensed interim financial statements (see Note 4), is either Level 1, respectively for cash and cash equivalents and other financial liabilities, or Level 3, respectively for all other financial assets.
The table below presents the movement in Level 3 equity investments during nine month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020:

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.
If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs, that financial instrument is classified on Level 3. Assessing the significance of an input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires significant judgment, considering factors specific to the asset.
The Fund considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
For Level 3, the equity investments valuations were performed using valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs, which ensures that the underlying data is accurate, and that appropriate inputs were used in the valuation.
As at 30 September 2021, the fair value for 89% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2020: for 85% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the market comparison technique using comparable trading multiples for EBITDA, while the fair value for almost 11% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2020: for almost 15% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the income approach using the discounted cash flow method.
The valuation technique currently used for the valuation of the holdings in the airports and the maritime ports companies (part of the investments in the infrastructure sector) was changed from the market approach comparable companies, which was used in the previous years, to income approach method, mainly due to the following reasons:
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 September 2021 was prepared as follows:
The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 September 2020 was prepared as follows:
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
Given the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the valuations are based on prevailing market, economic and other conditions at the valuation date and correspond with a period of significant volatility in global financial markets and widespread macro-economic uncertainty. To the extent possible, these conditions were reflected in the valuation. However, the factors driving these conditions can change over relatively short periods of time. The impact of any subsequent changes in these conditions on the global economy and financial markets generally, and on the Fund's portfolio holdings specifically, could impact the estimated fair values in the future, either positively or negatively.
In light of the spread of the coronavirus and the emergence to find some solutions, the existing uncertainty regarding the impact for businesses could persist for sometime. As a result, the current valuation may not have identified, or reliably quantified the impact of all such uncertainties and implications.
The Fund's management has analysed the period between the date of the valuation reports and the date when these condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue and there was no information known or available to the Fund's management which may have significant impact on the fair values of the equity investments as at the reporting date, as they are presented in these condensed interim financial statements.
Considering the economic uncertainties, the increased economic risk and the strong volatility existing in the capital markets due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fund's Sole Director closely monitors the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures on the Fund's portfolio companies. The Fund's Sole Director will perform a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peers companies and will adjust the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, if the case.
Based on the analysis of market multiples evolution between the date of the valuation reports and the date of these condensed interim financial statements, it resulted that the multiples, generally, followed an increasing trend, the main drivers including: the decrease in yields, the descending trend in market risk premiums and additional factors related to market excitement due to improved perspectives regarding COVID-19 and specific developments of energy and gas market.
The Fund's Sole Director believes that the fair values of the equity investments presented in these condensed interim financial statements represent the best estimates based on available information and under the current conditions.
The Fund has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes a valuation department and a valuation committee, both independent of portfolio management which have overall responsibility for fair value measurements.
The economic uncertainties are expected to continue in the foreseeable future and consequently, there is a possibility that the assets of the Fund are not recovered at their carrying amounts in the ordinary course of business. A corresponding impact on the Fund's profitability cannot be estimated reliably as of the date of these condensed interim financial statements.
Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Fund believes that a third-party market participant would consider these factors in pricing a transaction.
For the financial investments classified as Level 1, the Fund had adequate information available with respect to active markets, with sufficient trading volume, for obtaining accurate prices.

Significant unobservable inputs are the following:
Revenue multiple: is a tool used to appraise businesses based on market comparison to similar public companies. Revenue based business value estimation may be preferred to earnings multiple valuation whenever there is uncertainty regarding some of a company's expenses. The most common tendency is to value a firm based on its sales whenever this number is the most direct indication of a company's earning capacity.
EBITDA multiple: represents the most relevant multiple used when pricing investments and it is calculated using information from comparable public companies (similar geographic location, industry size, target markets and other factors that valuers consider to be reasonable). The traded multiples for comparable companies are determined by dividing the enterprise value of a company by its EBITDA and further discounted for considerations such as the lack of marketability and other differences between the comparable peer group and specific company.
Discount for lack of marketability: represents the discount applied to the comparable market multiples to reflect the liquidity differences between a portfolio company relative to its comparable peer group. Valuers estimate the discount for lack of marketability based on their professional judgement after considering market liquidity conditions and company-specific factors.
Discount for lack of control: represents the discount applied to reflect the absence of the power of control considered under the discounted cash flow method, in order to derive the value of a minority shareholding in the equity of subject companies.
Weighted average cost of capital: represents the calculation of a company's cost of capital in nominal terms (including inflation), based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model. All capital sources (shares, bonds and any other long-term debts) are included in a weighted average cost of capital calculation.
Price/Earnings multiple ("P/E"): Price/Earnings ratio is a market prospect ratio that calculates the market value of an investment relative to its earnings by comparing the market price per share by the earnings per share. It shows what the market is willing to pay for an investment based on its current earnings. Investors often use this ratio to evaluate what an investment's fair market value should be by predicting future earnings per share.
Price/Book value multiple: often expressed simply as price-to-book, this multiple measures a company's market price in relation to its book value (net assets). It reflects how many times the book value per share investors are ready to pay for a share. The Price/Book value multiple varies dramatically between industries. A company that requires more assets (e.g. a manufacturing company with factory space and machinery) will generally post a significantly lower price to book than a company whose earnings come from the provision of a service (e.g. a consulting firm).

Unpaid share capital represents the nominal value of certain contributions due to the Fund by the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance as shareholder, which were initially recorded as paid share capital (based on Law 247/2005) and in 2011 were considered unpaid following the final results of several litigations that took place in the past. Holders of unpaid shares are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends or other cash distributions, until the matters are legally clarified.
Due to the fact that there are no clear provisions regarding the unpaid share capital in the special legislation related to the Fund and that according to the general framework provided by the Companies' Law the deadline for the payment by the Romanian State represented by Ministry of Public Finance of the unpaid share capital expired, the Fund recorded a presentation adjustment as at 31 December 2017 for the entire balance of unpaid share capital against other reserves.
This adjustment was recorded in the financial statements only for presentation purpose, while the actual cancellation of the unpaid share capital in the accounting will follow the legal requirements and will be booked only after the successful completion of the necessary legal steps.
The receivable related to the unpaid amounts from the Romanian State is fully impaired.

The legal reserve cannot be used for distributions to shareholders.
The amounts allocated to other reserves are to be used to cover the losses (negative reserves) recorded from cancellation of shares acquired through the buy-back programmes. The other reserves balance as at 31 December 2020 of RON 236,026,121 was used to cover the negative equity reserves recorded from cancellation of shares acquired during the tenth buy-back programme, according to the resolution of the Fund's General Shareholders' Meeting ("GSM") held on 28 April 2021. In the same time, the Fund's shareholders' approved during the 28 April 2021 GSM, the allocation to other reserves of an amount of RON 671,941,939 from retained earnings and reserves resulted from the distributions for which the statute of limitation occurred, in order to be available for covering the negative reserves estimated to arise from cancellation of shares acquired during 2020 through the eleventh buy-back programme.
Losses from cancellation of treasury shares comprise the negative reserves related to the losses on the cancellation of treasury shares acquired at an acquisition value higher than the nominal value. These amounts may be covered from retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting.
Starting with January 2017, the Fund's share nominal value was constantly lower than its market price, situation which did not change up to the date of these financial statements. All buy-backs performed after this date were made at an acquisition price higher than the nominal value and consequently all cancellations of treasury shares acquired through the buy-back programmes generated negative reserves.
There was no negative reserve recorded during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021.
The table below shows the changes in the negative reserves recorded as result of the losses from cancellation of treasury shares during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020:

During the 28 April 2021 General Shareholders Meeting, the Fund's shareholders approved the distribution of a gross dividend of RON 0.072 per share from 2016 and 2017 unallocated profits. The shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on 28 May 2021 have the right to receive a gross dividend of RON 0.072 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The payment started on 22 June 2021 and until the date of these condensed interim financial statements, shareholders had collected 96% of the total distribution.
During the 16 July 2021 General Shareholders Meeting, the Fund's shareholders approved the distribution of a gross dividend of RON 0.070 per share from the remaining balance of 2017 and 2019 unallocated profits. The shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on 6 August 2021 have the right to receive a gross dividend of RON 0.070 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The payment started on 27 August 2021 and until the date of these condensed interim financial statements, shareholders had collected almost 92% of the total distribution.
At 30 September 2021, the Fund was involved in certain litigations, either as defendant or claimant. After analysing the requirements of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Fund considers that there are no litigations which may have significant effects on the Fund's financial position or profitability.
Other contingencies of the Fund included the receivables from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and the debts regarding CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA share capital increase, as detailed below.
Title II, Article 4 of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 81/2007 stipulated the transfer of World Trade Center Bucuresti SA receivables from the Authority for State Assets Recovery to the Fund, amounting to USD 68,814,198 (including the original principal and related interest and penalties) on 29 June 2007.
Between 2008 and 2010 the Fund recovered from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, USD 510,131, EUR 148,701 and RON 8,724,888. Given the uncertainties regarding the recoverability of the amounts due by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, the above amounts were recognised on receipt basis in the Fund's financial statements.
In August 2013, World Trade Center Bucuresti SA filed a claim against the Fund asking the Fund to pay back all the amounts received through the enforcement procedure during 2010 and 2011 (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663).
On 7 July 2016, the Bucharest Court admitted the claim filed by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and obliged Fondul Proprietatea to pay back the amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663) and the related legal interest calculated for these amounts. During the period from July to August 2016, the Fund performed the payment of these amounts and the related legal interest to World Trade Center Bucuresti SA. The Court decision is irrevocable.
The amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure were originally accounted for by the Fund as contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund, decreasing the receivable related to the unpaid capital. Consequently, these amounts are to be recovered by the Fund from the Romanian State (being accounted for as a receivable over this shareholder of the Fund, for which an impairment adjustment was recorded), while the legal interest was recorded as an expense with provisions for litigations.
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
On 18 February 2020, the Court ruled in favour of the Fund in the case started against the Romanian State, represented by Ministry of Public Finance, for recovering the contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund. The decision was issued in the first stage and Ministry of Public Finance appealed it. On 18 September 2020, Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the appeal of Ministry of Public Finance. The Fund filled the second appeal which was rejected by the High Court of Cassation and Justice on 1 April 2021. The Fund is waiting to receive the full decision of the Court following to investigate the next actions that will be taken based on the argumentation of the High Court of Cassation and Justice.
CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021, a General Shareholders Meeting for 25 October 2021, in order to approve a share capital increase with the land located inside the Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian state's contribution in kind to the company's share capital. The proposed value for the share capital increase was initially RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time when the process to increase the share capital is initiated since 2001 when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.
During 26 October 2021 (i.e. second call of the shareholders meeting) the share capital increase was approved only with Romanian State votes in favour as follows:
Fondul Proprietatea already expressed its opinion strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.
Fondul Proprietatea started court cases for the annulment of the shareholders resolutions asking the court to suspend the entire process till the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders and will continue to update its shareholders regarding this process.
The duration of court cases in Romania is not predictable. However, the Fund uses all legal available means to have a solution for this issue as soon as possible.

During the first nine months of 2021, there was performed a recalculation of the net remuneration for one of the BON members, for the entire period from the beginning of his mandate as member of the Fund's Board of Nominees until 31 December 2020, as a result of a different tax treatment that should have been applied in his case. Thus, the amount of RON 384,520 was paid to him as net remuneration while the corresponding overpaid contributions to the State Budget resulted following the recalculation was offset by the Fund with other taxes payable to the State Budget.
Other transactions between the Fund and the members of the Board of Nominees mainly comprise accommodation, transport and professional insurance costs (see Note 7).
There were no loans between the Fund and the members of the Board of Nominees neither in the first nine months of 2021 nor in the first nine months of 2020.
There are no post-employment, long term or termination benefits related to the remuneration of the members of the Board of Nominees.

Legend:
* = where the date of acquisition is shown as earlier than Fondul Proprietatea's date of incorporation (28 December 2005), the date of acquistion refers to the date of publishing in the Official Gazette of Law no. 247 / 19 July 2005, which determined that these investments would be transferred to Fondul Proprietatea on its future incorporation.
** = The acquisition price includes the initial value of Fondul Proprietatea's final portfolio of shares contributed by the Romanian State in December 2005 and June 2007 determined based on the valuation performed in October 2007 by an independent valuer (Finevex SRL Constanta) and the subsequent subscriptions to share capital increase of portfolio companies, if the case,
(respectively the contribution in cash) less the disposals (if the case). Fondul Proprietatea did not perform any acquisition of unlisted shares from its incorporation date until now. The acquisition price does not include the bonus shares received by Fondul Proprietatea (following the share capital increase of portfolio companies) proportionally to its holding as these do not qualify as cost in accordance with the IFRS basis of accounting.
*** = company resulting from the merger of CN "Aeroportul International Henri Coanda - Bucuresti" S.A. and S.N. "Aeroportul International Bucuresti Baneasa - Aurel Vlaicu" S.A.
**** = company resulting from the merger of Complexul Energetic Turceni S.A., Complexul Energetic Craiova S.A., Complexul Energetic Rovinari S.A., Societatea Nationala a Lignitului Oltenia S.A.
