A About us

Letter from the President of the Management Board

AD Plastik Group is constantly and inexorably evolving and adapting, just like the industry in which we operate. All car manufacturers have to monitor changes within the automotive industry together with their suppliers. Our Company has successfully endured and is becoming a significantly more serious factor in the global automotive market.

We've entered into some very important contracts in 2016, which expanded our portfolio of customers and products and strengthened the Group's offer for the upcoming period. New business arrangements have been signed for Maserati, Fiat, Volkswagen, Renault Clio and Ford, with a total value of over EUR 20 million annually in full production years. We've shifted our focus on developing products with better strategic potential and plan on pursuing this direction going further.

The investing public recognized and acknowledged our company due to successfully realized negotiations and new contracts, overall improvement of business operations, as well as regular and revised business reporting practices and frequent and transparent communication with investors. These developments consequently contributed to the growth rate of our shares – reaching 40.2 percent in 2016. Record dividend with a yield of 12 percent on the average share price in 2015 was also paid out in the last year. This confirms the positive cash flow and good liquidity of the Group.

We have achieved very good operating results for the second year in a row. Our goal was to strengthen the financial stability of the Company and improve profitability – which we undoubtedly achieved. Group's net profit increased by 7.5 percent in 2016 and amounted to HRK 49.7 million, despite the 9 percent decline in operating income. We've considerably reduced our operating expenses in comparison to our operating income, and EBITDA accordingly amounted to HRK 135.9 million with an EBITDA margin of 14.5 percent – an increase of 18.3 percent over the previous year.

Sales in the European market have been slightly lower due to diminished number of orders placed by our Hella client and lower revenues generated through project activities, while the drop in revenue observed in Russia can be attributed to exchange rate fluctuations, rather than a decline in sales.

AD Plastik exited FADP – a joint company established in Russia together with Faurecia – in 2016. This was one of our strategic goals for the past year, which we've successfully achieved. We'll continue with business activities in Russia through companies of which we are the majority owners. The Russian market is finally stabilizing and all forecasts for the current year predict an increase in car sales and an overall economic recovery. This represents an opportunity which we certainly know how to recognize and seize.

We are dedicated and focused on developing and expanding business operations in new markets with new customers, pursuant to which we've already started researching Eastern and Central European markets in 2016, as well as conducting significant analysis of markets outside the European Union.

We are ambitiously creating a dynamic business environment that aims at continually developing and growing our Company. We will continue our activities regarding a further reduction in the Group's loan liabilities and optimization of cash flows. Our key objectives for 2017 include persistent growth in existing and new markets, further increase of business efficiency, risk management and, ultimately, ensuring a further boost in the market value of the Company, i.e. the value of our shares.

Marinko Došen President of the Management Board

ufacturing processes. Considering the volumes produced by the Volkswagen Group, expanding our cooperation is extremely important for company's overall business operations.

Expected annual revenue is valued at EUR 2.5 million.

"We possess the necessary knowledge and experience for manufacturing grabhandles, and are certain that this project will have a very positive impact on the operations of AD Plastik in the long term", said Kristijan Žaper, sales manager for VW and BMW.

Renault Clio Maserati Levante

Following the successful grab handles development project with Fiat - Chrysler (FCA), AD Plastik found itself in the role of a development partner in the air ducts project for the luxury Maserati Levante. Eleven positions have been designed in total under this project, namely the central air ducts frame, central air ducts, grill, connecting air duct and front air ducts. AD Plastik won the nomination for the manufacture of air ducts intended for a new product in Maserati's product line which carries air for cooling/heating of passenger space from the instrument panel to the rear part of the vehicle. The project includes seven components

produced using blow moulding technology that will be manufactured at ADP Mladenovac plant, and five injection moulded components manufactured in Solin.

Expected project revenue is valued at EUR 3 million.

"This is our first joint development project with the FCA Group, and Levante is categorised as a luxury vehicle on which we have not often collaborated. This stands as proof that we have the knowledge, capacity and quality necessary to meet the challenges of most demanding customers and models in the automotive market," said Uroš Pavlović, Deputy Director of Development for Injection Moulded, Painted and Blow Moulded products.

Nominations (cont.)

Ford EcoSport

AD Plastik won the nomination for EcoSport, Ford's class B vehicle to be manufactured in Craiova, Romania. Start of manufacture is scheduled for October 2017 with the planned production period of three and a half years. AD Plastik will manufacture front wheel arch housing and rear wheel deflectors for the new EcoSport model at its Solin plant.

Expected project revenue is valued at EUR 4.8 million.

"AD Plastik become a supplier for another Ford production site in Europe, thereby proving their quality and beating tough competition from manufacturers located in the vicinity of their plant in Romania. EcoSport is the sixth Ford model in the portfolio of AD Plastik, following the Fiesta, Mondeo, Galaxy, S-Max and Vignale," said Tonći Jakaša, Ford Program Manager.

We have also won the nomination for manufacturing injection moulded interior lining for Ford EcoSport in Russia, with respective parts manufactured at AD Plastik Group's site in Vintai. According to current customer information, mass production is planned for mid-2017 at the Ford Sollers plant, Naberezhny Chelny, Russia.

Expected annual revenue for a full production year is valued at EUR 1.5 million.

"Given the current decline in sales on the Russian market, majority of Tier I suppliers have excess available capacity meaning that the competition for winning this nomination was extremely strong. This nomination positions us back on the panel of strategic Ford suppliers in Russia, which is of great significance and provides us with more opportunities to compete for other vehicle models of this customer," said Mislav Čelar, Sales Manager for Russia.

Fiat

AD Plastik won the nomination for the manufacture of painted instrument panel parts, bumpers, air duct connectors and steering wheel padding for Fiat 500. Parts included in this project will be manufactured in three AD Plastik Group's sites: Solin, Zagreb and Mladenovac.

Expected revenue from this project is estimated at EUR 3 million annually..

moulded parts will be manufactured in Solin.

Expected annual revenue for a full production year is valued at EUR 6 million.

"Winning this nomination has substantially increased our cooperation with Fiat, and the realization of said project would place Fiat in the second place in our customers portfolio with regard to overall value, just behind Renault. This job provides us with new opportunities, and the results we managed to achieve with Fiat are due to hard work invested on building our partnership," said Toni Štambuk, Sales Manager for the European market.

"I am very pleased that we are increasing the production share for vehicles under the Edison project. This project is not complex from a technological aspect, but the schedule is challenging and requires the preparation of the manufacture process for mass production and validation of products in short periods," said Nino Kaćanski, Project Manager.

D Research and Development in 2016

Research and development importance and activities

Car manufacturers are no longer able to target their research and development activities on individual car parts, but rather focus on core activities and leave research and development of specific components to suppliers.

In accordance with stated market requirements, our Company has invested significant resources in research and development. One of the main objectives of AD Plastik Group's Research and Development Department is the growth and increase of development Tier 1 jobs regarding strategic products and technologies. At the same time, we are already thinking up new processes, technologies and materials which would represent a big step forward in developmental and production-technological sense in the near future. The aim is to focus on the development of complete modules which combine multiple technologies due to customer need to obtain a complete solution from a single supplier. Responding to these challenges requires maximum competence in development terms and flexible solutions in order to meet cost and quality requirements.

The result of our continuous investment in research and development is the current standing of AD Plastik Group as a reliable and stable partner to nearly all global automobile manufacturers.

The Company invested approx. 4 percent of its total revenue in research and development in 2016, which highlights the importance this area has within the organization. Research and development department of AD Plastik Group employs more than 100 engineers with modern systems and tools at their disposal.

AD Plastik Group's Research and Development is organized across five departments:

  • Injection moulding, painting, blow moulding
  • Thermoforming and non-woven textile
  • Extrusion
  • Machinery and equipment, spatial planning and workshop
  • Developmental quality as part of the overall quality organization

Research and development engineers >100

Injection moulding, painting, blow moulding

Research and Development Department for Injection Moulded, Painted and Blow Moulded products is focused on products such as bumpers, air ducts, instrument panels, door panels, wheel arch liners, grab handles, sunvisors, belts, etc.

Injection moulding is a technology in which the molten thermoplastic material is injected under pressure into a mould, i.e., pre-made injection moulding tools. Its advantages include high productivity, mass production and automation possibilities, minimal additional operations and material loss, precision manufacturing, possibility of injecting on other materials and using various fillers to change material properties. Quality design of tools and products, proper selection of materials and corresponding parameters of the injection process are basic prerequisites for creating a quality product.

Painting plastic components can be technologically divided into several sections:

  • Preparing products for painting which includes cleaning and flame cleaning
  • Painting products with primer, base paint and transparent varnish
  • Drying, control, additional processing and storage, and later on assembly and packaging for delivery to the customer.

Blow moulding technology is used for products that distribute air into the passenger space of the vehicle (air ducts).

Employees of the Research and Development Department for Injection Moulded, Painted and Blow Moulded products are divided into products, processes and tools development.

Major projects in 2016:

  • Instrument panel and bumper parts for the Fiat 500L
  • Grab handles (RSA, PSA, VW, Fiat)
  • Ford EcoSport interior Russia
  • Ford EcoSport EU exterior Romania
  • Renault exterior
  • Exterior (Dacia Logan / Sandero / Sandero Cross)
  • Sunvisor with cover (Dacia Duster)
  • Bumpers (Renault Clio IV)
  • Exterior (Renault Twingo phase 2)
  • Wheel arch liners for the VW Tiguan

Department was also handling direct development activities for the Ford exterior as a Tier I supplier:

  • Rocker cladding (6 positions) Focus Sp EU
  • Mud flaps (2 positions) Focus EU
  • Underbody and motor lining (6 positions)

AD Plastik won the nomination for Edison exterior project at the end of 2016 - Phase 2 (22 positions). Winning this nomination means that AD Plastik Group started using a new technology of "hot foil stamping" - transferring a metal layer from the foil to a solid surface through the mould.

Winning the Fiat 500L instrument panel nomination means that AD Plastik Group started using a new technology for connecting parts with adhesive technology (application of adhesive using a robotic arm).

Thermoforming and non-woven textile

Research and Development Department for Thermoforming and Non-woven Textile is focused on products such as headliners, carpets, shelves, side trims and developing proprietary materials (non-woven textile). The primary objective is to make optimal decisions when choosing materials and design specific products and processes to ensure and deliver a product that will use recycled materials, be lighter, and provide satisfactory acoustic, physical and air-quality properties. This method ultimately ensures simple use for workers in manufacturing, but also the end customer. We take into consideration the safety characteristics of our products and the manufacturing process, as well as complying with and meeting regulatory requirements. One of our objectives is to replace existing products made using other technologies with thermoformed products in order to increase the number and share of thermoformed products in the vehicle, differentiate manufacture and line capacity, all in accordance with the trend to reduce the weight of the car.

Thermoforming technology is based on permanent forming of materials at specific temperatures and under specific pressure. There are two types of the thermoforming process - moulding in a hot or cold tool:

  • Cool tool is used to form products such as passenger compartment carpet, trunk carpet, parcel shelf, trunk side trim, fifth door trim etc.
  • Hot tool is used to form products such as headliners.

Non-woven textile is a flexible flat product which is fixed mechanically, by needle-punching or with bonding agents. Most commonly used fibres have a fineness of 6 to 17 dtex, and these products are later thermoformed into the final product.

Employees of the Research and Development Department for Thermoforming and Non-woven Textile are divided into products, processes and tools development.

Major projects in 2016:

  • Passenger compartment carpet (Renault Kaptur Russia) – Development of products, processes and proprietary materials
  • Trunk carpet and parcel shelf (Renault Kaptur Russia) – Development of products, processes and proprietary materials
  • Sunvisor (Dacia Logan/Sandero) Development of the sunvisor with cover mounting processes
  • Headliner (Dacia Duster) Development of products, processes and tools
  • Passenger compartment carpet (Dacia Duster) Development of non-woven textile materials
  • Headliner (Daimler Smart) Development of products and processes

In addition to project activities for the customers, research and development sector for thermoforming and non-woven textile is focused on the development of materials and prototype samples for vehicle underbody and development of materials for thermoformed wheel arch liners. By manufacturing these products, AD Plastik Group expands its developmental and manufacturing potential and enters the market of vehicle exteriors with thermoformed products, guided by the principle of increasing the share of lighter products and better sound-absorption properties of the vehicle. The Company is also focused on introducing the digital print technology for applying the air bag label on the sunvisor.

Extrusion

Research and Development Department for Extrusion is focused on products such as static seals (inner and outer hidden frames and scrapers, outer belts, roof moulding...). Extrusion encompasses the processing of plastic mass to produce items with fixed cross-sections. Extrusion can be continuous or semi-continuous. This procedure softens and plasticises input materials which are then homogenised and finally formed into the desired shape or profile. Products are stamped after extrusion and often sprayed onto vertical injectors. Most commonly used materials in the extrusion process are polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomers.

Employees of the Research and Development Department for Extrusion are divided into products, processes and tools development.

Major projects in 2016:

  • Inner belt for the VW Touareg
  • Inner belt for the Audi Q3
  • Static seals for the Lada Vesta caravan

Nominations for the VW Touareg and the Audi Q3 are the result of well implemented development on VW Touran and Golf 7 projects. AD Plastik Group is in charge of design, product and process development and manufacture as a developmental supplier under the Touareg and Audi Q3 VW projects.

Static seals for the Lada Vesta caravan are a continuation of the Lada Vesta project. Lada Vesta is made on an entirely new B/C platform developed by engineers of AvtoVAZ in cooperation with specialists from the Renault-Nissan Group. AD Plastik Group won the nomination for this vehicle regarding the development of products and processes, and the vehicle will be produced in AvtoVAZ, Togliatti, Russia.

Machinery and equipment, spatial planning and workshop

Machinery and Equipment Department is focused on standardizing and procuring new machinery and equipment within the AD Plastik Group. The workshop is equipped for manufacturing gauges and other devices and providing support in maintaining technical functions of production sites.

Employees of the Machinery and Equipment Department are divided into development of manufacturing equipment and manufacture of devices, gauges and templates.

Major projects in 2016:

  • Fiat, PSA, VW and Renault grab handles Development and production of new assembly lines
  • PSA belts Development and production of new assembly lines
  • Dacia sunvisors Development and production of new assembly lines, applying the air bag label using digital print technology
  • Protective door trims for the Twingo RS Development and production of the ultrasonic welding machine

  • Sunvisor and gear shift cover for the Fiat 500L Development and production of the ultrasonic welding machine

  • Foaming of polyurethane blocks for headliners Selection and installation of new equipment at the AD Plastik site in Vintai, and transfer of equipment and technology to ADP Mladenovac
  • Hot foil stamping Researching and selecting suppliers of this new technology
  • Transferring equipment between various production sites of AD Plastik Group.

Systems and software solutions

Computer software is one of the main research and development tools used for product analysis and creating new solutions. Online databases are an important source of information on innovations and market trends, and our engineers can access global services that provide detailed and reliable information on all products that are installed in cars throughout the world.

Constructors use several different CAD design software solutions, most important of which is CATIA.

In addition, special CAE software for the numerical simulation of

product behaviour is also used in close relation with CAD software.

Monitoring projects and making progress on individual product development stages is an extremely complex process which is why Enovia software suit is used to manage this function.

Developing new products in this day and age is unthinkable without a 3D printer for creating prototypes which will be presented to the customer so they can view and experience new products during the vehicle's development stage.

Digitalization of existing products is also considered a standard research and development practice in the automotive industry which is why our engineers use a 3D scanner to scan different models of existing or new products, transfer the images to a digital format and process them further using a computer.

Ecology and recycling materials

In the near future, every car part that ended its life span should be usable as raw material for future production. This will greatly impact environmental protection efforts. Therefore, substituting existing materials with new recyclable materials is of great importance. AD Plastik has recognised the processing of recyclable "green" materials as an important business element. Many car parts are currently manufactured using a certain percentage of recyclable materials, which reduces the environmental impact due to the possibility of re-using such materials.

Manufacture and logistics

Main activities of AD Plastik Group during 2016 with regard to manufacture and logistics were focused on:

  • Performance and improving results of plant operations (financial effects)
  • Industrialization of projects
  • Staff training and development
  • Improving processes

Despite the unfavourable mix of products, especially in production sites in Croatia and Serbia, implementation of corrective measures in 2016 helped mitigate negative market impacts on plant operations and improve results when compared to 2015.

In the past year we have achieved the desired quality of products and deliveries to customers in accordance with their customers' requirements or even exceeded said requirements.

By investing in the renovation of warehouses we've increased capacity of storage spaces in Solin and Kaluga, which will be compensated from savings achieved on renting external storage. We have also realized the industrialization of all new projects successfully and without unforeseen costs.

AD Plastik increased the accuracy of operational plans from 84 percent to 95 percent in 2016 thanks to the cooperation between commerce and supply chain, as well as joint activities aimed at customers.

Supplier relations E | Products and technologies

Business operations of AD Plastik Group largely depend on the supply chain and its performance. Financial effects are not the only factor directly affecting profits, but also effects on the over all status of the Group in the automotive industry market and society as a whole. Suppliers are expected to actively cooper ate during product development with the aim of finding common solutions for providing our customers with new and improved products in terms of price and quality, while complying with high standards of corporate social responsibility in the automotive in dustry.

All suppliers that affect the quality of products manufactured by AD Plastik Group are subject to the prescribed rules of supplier selection and supervision in accordance with automotive indus try standards. One of the main criteria when choosing new sup pliers of materials and components is their compliance with ISO TS 16949 and ISO 14001 standards.

During 2016 we carried out regular evaluation of suppliers ac cording to prescribed criteria. Evaluation of suppliers of materi als is carried out once a month, and the evaluation of suppliers of equipment and tools and services is carried out annually. In addition to regular evaluation, a survey was conducted for sup pliers of Solin and Zagreb sites regarding their compliance with the guidelines of corporate social responsibility.

Development and education

Automotive industry trends set new, high requirements for product and process quality in developmental and mass production stages. To ensure the competence and expertise of employees, key areas of their education are divided into product and process development and technical and technological knowledge related to the installed equipment.

Notable education and training activities during 2016:

  • APQP/PPAP Advanced Product Quality Planning & Control Plan
  • DOE Design of experiments
  • Ford Robustness Workshop Statistical tool for development
  • Moldflow expert level
  • Engel robotics control
  • Internal process auditors using the VDA 6.3. method
  • FESTO base engine and electric drive maintenance

Conducted regular cooperation with consulting companies of customers and equipment suppliers or authorized companies, thus ensuring necessary upgrades of employee knowledge and skills.

Management Academy was organized for members of the management structure at AD Plastik Group, which included interactive workshops divided in eight modules. All employees have the opportunity to attend regular education and learning programmes for foreign languages in order to facilitate easier communication with business partners.

At the end of the year we conducted a survey on the effectiveness of educational programs implemented in 2016 and noted a very good effect of education on business results, organizational climate, motivation, employee engagement, quality of work and the application of new knowledge at the workplace.

Internal activities

Integration

Introducing new employees to the workplace and training provided when changing jobs within the Company has been regularly monitored. During 2016 we have launched 148 programmes related to introducing new employees to the workplace, and successfully concluded 117 of these programmes.

Rewarding excellence - AD 5 model

A total of 261 awards were given out in 2016 at Solin and Zagreb sites as part of the "AD 5" rewarding model implementing the process of recognizing and rewarding outstanding employees.

At our sites in Russia, rewarding of employees is carried out through a continuous management process which takes into account the achievement of set objectives which improves engagement, resulting in increased process efficiency.

Rewarding improvement ideas

AD Plastik launched a new project for encouraging the creativity of employees at Zagreb and Solin sites, that has been previously successfully implemented at or sites in Russia. Every idea or new development that raises the work quality, conditions and methods to a higher level is subject to rewarding.

External activities

AD Plastik supported the Private Sector Youth Initiative initiated by the Croatian Employers' Association Support and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, with the longterm good cooperation with FESB, Faculty of Chemical Technology and the Faculty of Economics, which enabled more students to gain experience by working at AD Plastik. We have formalized our cooperation with the Faculty of Textile Technology and the University College of Management and Design Aspira.

AD Plastik also continued its cooperation with higher education institutions in the implementation of projects of common interest in the research and development field and the field of study programs tailored to the needs of the AD Plastik Group, with one of the goals being the early selection of talent and further development of business and professional cooperation.

For the third consecutive year, AD Plastik has participated in the "Experience is worth gold" project aimed at sensitizing business and the wider community on the employment of particularly disadvantaged persons on the labour market.

Employer branding

During 2016 we continued with activities aimed at positioning the AD Plastik Group as a desirable employer through internal and external activities, defining employer profiles and key values, designing and activation of our LinkedIn page, researching the perception of the Company as an employer among students from targeted faculties. We have also realized a carried out other activities in order to improve the recognition of the Company in the labour market.

Annual Sustainable Business Report

In order to better understand the needs and expectations of AD Plastik Group's stakeholders, we have drafted and published the third Sustainability Report in accordance with G4 guidelines for sustainability reporting issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for 2015. The report is available on the Company website.

The third Sustainability Report of the AD Plastik Group implemented a modern approach and design to completely fulfil the purpose of non-financial reporting, which is to understand the needs and expectations of stakeholders regarding information and provide a review of non-financial impacts according to their needs. The report shows the results achieved by companies within the Group in 2015, and the content is compliant with the G4 guidelines for sustainability reporting issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) - core option.

Sustainability Report of the Group for 2015 was written as clear and understandable as possible, with transparent presentation of data and detailed description of specific aspects. The report was made in accordance with reporting principles which sought to provide a balanced view of all the important features of business operations associated with sustainable development and social responsibility.

AD Plastik Group is a growing international company with an ambition to become the market leader in Eastern Europe regarding the development and manufacture of automotive components. This demanding market places sustainable business as one of the most important elements of competitiveness, and understanding the expectations and interests of stakeholders as a necessary prerequisite for establishing quality communications.

Therefore it should come as no surprise that the AD Plastik Group's report highlights as many as 34 material aspects that reflect significant economic, environmental and social impacts of the Group, i.e. significantly influence assessments and decisions made by stakeholders. The vast majority of said material aspects, as many as 21, relate to the social category, that is, employees and human rights.

Identifying material aspects is a very important determinant of this reporting method. These exact priorities make up the bulk of the report and focus on topics that are important for all stakeholders. However, too many material aspects can mean that the Company has not recognized the key impacts and hasn't focused its attention properly. Therefore, we commend the process of defining priorities and key aspects in accordance with changes in external and business impacts. We expect the development of communication with stakeholders on the subject of the sustainability report's content to continue in the coming years.

Last year was very successful for AD Plastik Group's financial results, and this positive trend reflected in increased investments in employee education, implementation of a new rewarding system and improved information exchange and communications. We would like to see a clearer strategy for managing human resources underpinning this successful practice of investing in employees in future reports.

The purpose of the report is not only to show understanding regarding the application of correct principles of social responsibility, but also to attract and engage readers on sustainability topics. The announcement that future reports will be published annually and contain clear objectives for certain aspects in order to better and more transparently monitor their implementation is therefore particularly valuable. AD Plastik Group also uses the reporting process for analysis and evaluation of impact, and to build its continuous improvement programme, which is the main objective of reporting. We will follow this progress with great interest using future reports, and commend the AD Plastik Group on successful implementation of the reporting process.

Business in 2016 H | Business

As in previous years, AD Plastik Group's plants in Croatia and Serbia sell their products mainly on the EU and Serbian markets, but also on new markets such as Mexico, Brazil and the United States. Russian companies from the AD Plastik Group sell their production assortment mostly on the market of the Russian Federation.

The Group is strongly positioned in the market of automotive components manufacturers in Europe, especially with regard to the manufacture of grab handles. AD Plastik grab handles are installed in a wide range of vehicles of well-known car manufac turers such as Fiat, Jeep, Renault, PSA Group, and we should point out new grab handle manufacturing project for the VW Group. This increase in grab handle manufacture is specially vis ible thanks to the exceptional growth of manufacture in Serbia.

The Edison project continues to have the greatest impact on production volume and realization in 2016, and we must high light the transfer of console production which began at the end of the year.

The Russian market was marked by stabilization if compared to the previous two years, and this has created a basis for further growth.

Last year was marked by a series of inquiries and technical pres entations, which are a good foundation for implementing new business operations and plans.

European market

For the third consecutive year new vehicle registrations in the European Union are on the raise with 14.6 million vehicles regis tered during the previous year, which is 6.8 percent more than in 2015. This is an indication that the market has stabilized and re tained the trust of customers. Despite significant political events in Europe, such as Brexit or the Italian referendum, the auto motive market has continued its successful growth. Increased car sales in comparison with last year's results were recorded in 2016 even on individual markets, with the fastest growth of sales occurring on small markets like Iceland, Hungary, Croatia and Cyprus. The largest major market growth was recorded in Italy with 15.8 percent and Spain with 10.9 percent, while sales in Germany increased by 4.5 percent, France 5.1 percent, and the United Kingdom by 2.3 percent. The decline in sales was record ed in only two countries: Norway and Switzerland.

Despite a difficult year, the Volkswagen Group still leads the car sales market with a share of 24.1 percent, followed by the Re nault Group with 10.1 percent, PSA Group with 9.7 percent and FCA Group with 6.6 percent. The most significant increase in comparison to 2015 can be attributed to the FCA Group with 14.1 percent, followed by Daimler with 14.1 percent and Renault Group with 12.1 percent, while Volkswagen Group increased its sales by 3.3 percent, and Ford increased by 2.9 percent. Volkswa gen was still the best-selling brand of 2016, and the Golf was the best-selling model in Europe.

14.6 million registered vehicles in 2016

European market (cont.) Russian market

14.6 million cars were sold in the European Union in 2016, which is the largest number of vehicles sold in the last nine years. The automotive industry of the European Union employs 12.2 million people, i.e. 5.6 percent of total employees. Automotive industry sector is a key carrier of knowledge and innovation. Of the total number of employees in manufacturing, 10.4 percent are manufacturing jobs in the automotive industry. The European car market has definitely stabilized with a tendency for further predicted growth of 5 percent by 2020.

AD Plastik strengthened its market position in 2016 by winning new nominations whose initial production is planned for the coming years. This is particularly true of VW Group and Fiat programmes with mass deliveries planned for mid-2017. New nominations are compliant with our strategy to increase sales of said programmes.

Car sales in the Russian market dropped by 50 percent between 2013 and 2015, but the trend slowed down in 2016, when a decline of 11 percent in comparison with the previous year was recorded. Due to the stabilization of the Russian ruble during 2016 and the increase in oil prices in the last quarter, expectations indicate that during 2017 the market decline will stop and sales will increase by 5-10%.

Business plan for 2017

The business plan for 2017 sets key work guidelines of the AD Plastik Group that will ensure the realization of planned objectives for customers, shareholders and the Company as a whole. Revenue growth of AD Plastik Group is planned for 2017 at the rate of 6% with the EBITDA margin amounting to 14%.

The priority of the Management Board of AD Plastik Group is the realization of strategic growth and development goals through the necessary transformation and restructuring, with the aim of positioning the Company as the automotive supplier of high reliability, cost and technical competitiveness, as well as market and developmental flexibility. AD Plastik Group is a desirable and technical- technologically modern employer with a motivating remuneration system that ensures employee satisfaction and long-term business operations, which is the position that Management Board wants to keep and further develop.

Key elements of the investment plan are closely related to the preparation of plants for the start of new projects regarding Fiat, Renault Clio, VW, PSA and the transfer of the production of console for the Edison project, while a new project for the customer Renault is being initiated at the plant in Mladenovac.

It is necessary to point out the increased investments in research and development, without which it is impossible to survive in the automotive industry, and which will certainly improve business operations of AD Plastik. Research of the global market, in which AD Plastik operates, indicates an increased interest for painted interior components. One of the drivers of sales growth in the medium term will be researching developmental activities and introducing new technologies that will increase the capacity of painting technology. The project has been registered with the Croatian Agency for Small Business, Innovation and Investments for the purpose of obtaining funds from the European Union after the Call for submission of applications - Increasing the development of new products and services resulting from research and development.

In accordance with the main strategy, Management Board of AD Plastik Group is focused on activities that enable the achievement of growth objectives through organic growth or acquisitions. Business expansion is directed towards existing and new customers in the markets of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), which contain target customers (OEMs) with whom the Company does not have significant operations. We are continuously exploring opportunities in these markets because of the possible business expansion. Additional activities have been executed in order to investigate the possibilities of entering the extremely promising and vast market of Iran, which continue through this year.

The focus of sales activities remains on A, B and C class vehicle segment regarding strategic technologies and products of AD Plastik Group. The plan is to develop relationships with customers and external engineering centres integrated with research and development facilities of customers and higher education institutions, along with continued investment in knowledge and excellence of own engineering staff. These operational paths are aimed at strengthening the developmental recognition of strategic technologies and products, and increasing the proportion of Tier1 projects.

Medium-term forecasts of movements of the Russian economy show signs of growth, and also the ruble exchange rate continuously strengthens. After the last three years of decline in car sales in the Russian Federation, a market recovery is expected. According to the information from the last Automotive Forum held in March in Moscow, predicted growth in car sales amounts to 5 to 10%.

Our business plan for 2017 ensures stable cash flows and financial stability of the Group. Primarily, the realization of the plan, as well as transparent and regular reporting and continuation and improvement of current activities will be carried out in order to further increase the share price and raise the Company's value.

2016 AD Plastik Group Annual Report | 71

Business risks

Business risks are related to the risks present in everyday business activities that directly affect the stability of the Company and maintaining competitive advantage. They are determined by the business environment in which the Company operates, level of specific industry's cyclicality and regular business policies and decisions.

Business environment risks

The business environment risk includes political, macroeconomic and social risks present in markets where the Company operates. Single company generally cannot influence these risks, but it can diversify them by operating in many different countries. The degree of diversification will largely depend on the risks in countries in which it operates.

Political risk refers to all risks associated with a possible political instability in a certain country. Business operations of individual companies are affected by macroeconomic risks, and the magnitude of the impact depends primarily on the cyclicality of the industry in which the Company operates.

Business activities of AD Plastik Group are, in addition to production located in Croatia, Serbia, the Russian Federation and Romania, based on the export of products to foreign customers, organised on a global level. Subject to the macroeconomic environment, economic conditions and the movement of economic activity. Political stability at both global and regional level, as well as the operational stability of countries in which we operate, therefore represent an important factor in our business stability and directly influence Company results.

Macroeconomic trends on affected markets, along with the exchange rate and the price of goods and services in particular, directly affect Company's competitiveness on the global market where we place our products and where we obtain raw materials and intermediate goods. Due to strong presence of Company's product placement on foreign markets, major changes in macroeconomics of countries where production takes place (increasing interest rates, the growth of the exchange rate of the kuna against EUR and RUR, increasing energy prices, the growth of tax burden and the like) could negatively reflect on business performance and the ability to regularly meet obligations.

AD Plastik Group operates in a relatively diverse business environment. Since the sale of Group's product range is affected by such macroeconomic variables as private consumption, levels of disposable personal income and trends in the sale of vehicles, the Company must continuously monitor the aforementioned macroeconomic factors.

Company can manage political risk by doing business in different countries, investing in opening new markets and continuous monitoring of macroeconomic and long-term market indicators. Special attention is given to macroeconomic trends in the Russian market which are somewhat more favourable in comparison to 2015.

Risk of non fulfillment of con tractual obligations

Automotive industry demands strict adherence to the defined terms of delivery of products in addition to providing set high level of quality of ordered products. The Company is exposed to the risk of non fulfillment of contractual obligations on time by of individual suppliers and, consequently, would not be able to meet its obligations to the customer in time. Failure to fulfil con tractual obligations can lead to loss of customers and a negative impact on operating results. Therefore, significant operational attention and responsibility is given to the accuracy of the fulfil ment of contractual obligations toward customers.

Technological risk

In order to meet the growing and dynamic market requirements, the automotive industry is unavoidably focused on investing in the development of new products and new technologies in order to preserve and enhance the competitiveness of its products. Technology plays a major role in added value, price and quality of products. Falling behind on technological development can reduce competitiveness and weaken the acquired market posi tion, as well as reduce the chances of acquiring future business opportunities and consequently adversely affect business re sults of the Company. There is serious market competition be tween car manufacturers and therefore AD Plastik Group con tinuously monitors technological changes and invests in new technologies in order to maintain and increase its existing com petitiveness.

Financial risks

Business activities carried out by the AD Plastik Group expose it to a variety of financial risks, including:

  • Market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk)
  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk

The Group hasn't implement a formal risk management pro gramme, however the Finance Department handles overall risk management. It provides services for various Group activities, coordinates access to domestic and international financial mar kets, carefully monitors financial risks related to business, and manages such risks through internal reports on risks that ana lyse the exposure by the degree and magnitude of certain risk, as well as implements various measures with the aim to effi ciently manage and reduce risk.

Financial risk management

Currency risks include transaction risk, i.e. the risk of negative impacts of changes in exchange rates relative to the kuna on cash flows from commercial activities, and balance sheet risk, i.e. the risk of a lower value of net monetary assets in foreign currencies from the conversion to kuna as a result of changes in exchange rates.

The Group operates in an international environment and is mainly exposed to the fluctuations of the euro and the Russian ruble as revenues from the EU market are achieved mainly in euros, while revenues from sales on the Russian market are achieved in rubles. Exposure to currency risk arises from the purchase of raw materials which is mainly made in euros.

In addition, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk related to the expression of operations of foreign subsidiaries that generate revenue in foreign currencies, and the same being listed in Croatian kuna in consolidated financial statements. Companies located in Russia manage currency risk by using natural hedging, i.e. selling price is adjusted together with the customers according to the fluctuation of the ruble against the euro.

Most long-term and short-term loans were stipulated by contracts that contain a currency clause, that is they are linked to the euro. The Group is also exposed to the fluctuation of the Serbian dinar and Romanian lei.

Currency risk Interest rate risk Price risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is related to changes in the restitution of assets and liabilities and the values resulting from movements in interest rates.

Interest rate risk of AD Plastik arises from credit commitments. The Group continuously monitors fluctuations and predictions of interest rates. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Group's exposure to interest rate risk is low, as it holds no financial instruments at variable rates.

The Group is exposed to the price risk associated with changes in prices of key raw materials, transportation, other production costs and strong pressure from competitors and customers. In the automotive industry there is an open product price calculation present, and the price fluctuations of raw materials and other costs, higher and lower, are adjusted together with customers through the selling price on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis (depending on the customer). The largest markets on which the Group provides its services and sells its products comprise of the EU market and the market of the Russian Federation. Group's management determines the prices of its services for each foreign market separately.

Credit risk refers to the default risk of one party to a financial instrument by which it creates a financial loss for the other party. Company assets bearing credit risk generally consist of loans and receivables. Since loans are granted to subsidiaries, due credit risk is under the control of the Company.

Trade receivables are made with minimal credit risk because the Company works with customers who are essentially financially stable companies with minimal charge risk, which is also the business policy of the Group. The correction of trade receivables to the amount of bad debts has been made.

Five largest customers of the Group include:

  • Revoz d.d., Slovenia
  • Reydel Automotive France s.a.s., France
  • OAO AvtoVaz, Russia
  • Hella Saturnus Slovenia d.o.o.
  • OAO Renault Russia, Russia

Credit risk Liquidity risk

The responsibility for liquidity risk management is born by the Management Board which sets an appropriate framework for liquidity risk management, with the objective of managing short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements.

Liquidity risk is observed as a risk that the Company will not be able to fulfil its obligations to creditors. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and working capital, arranging favourable credit frameworks in various banks that allow quick withdrawal of short-term funds under favourable conditions and continuous monitoring of planned and actual cash flows, as well as the adjustment of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Cash flow projections are created for each company within the Group and the same are then aggregated at the Group level. Parent company monitors the plan and the realization of cash flows of all companies within the Group and continuously monitors liquidity to ensure sufficient funds for carrying out business activities. In doing so, the Group takes into account the plans for the settlement of debts, compliance with contractual relations and internal balance sheet ratio targets.

J Financial statements of AD Plastik Group

The Supervisory Board have not yet considered and determined the financial statements, but shall give its decision at the meeting scheduled in May.

J | Financial statements of AD Plastik Group

Financial results in 2016

AD Plastik Group is comprised of the following companies during the reporting period:

  • AD Plastik d.d. Croatia,
  • ADP d.o.o. Serbia,
  • AD Plastik d.o.o. Slovenia,
  • AO AD Plastik Vintai, Russia
  • ZAO AD Plastik Kaluga, Russia

AD Plastik Group achieved outstanding business results in 2016, thus continuing last year's trend of successful Company operations. We are pleased to announce good operating results of AD Plastik d.d. and AD Plastik Group for the year 2016.

AD Plastik Group recorded a slightly lower operating revenue of HRK 935.8 million in the reporting period, which represents a 9% decrease compared to the previous year, while AD Plastik d.d. generated an operating revenue in the amount of HRK 717.9 million, i.e. 6.9% less than in the previous year.

A decrease in realization was primarily caused by the smaller number of orders placed by our client Hella and a slightly lower volume of revenue generated through our project activities. In addition, we must note the negative impact of foreign exchange movements on the amount of our operating revenue expressed in kuna, especially euro and Russian rouble. Due to the Croatian monetary policy of maintaining exchange rate stability of the kuna against the euro, throughout 2016 the euro was exposed to appreciation pressures of the kuna. Such weakening of the euro weakened the position of operating revenue and overall AD Plastik d.d. business results brought about by our strong focus on export. The total revenue of AD Plastik Group was, in addition to the euro exchange rate, significantly affected by the twofold Russian rouble exchange rate in 2016. An above average value of rouble had a negative effect on the amount of operating revenue, while the strengthening of the rouble at the end of the year had a positive impact on business results in the form of reduced foreign exchange losses.

Significantly lower operating expenses in the reporting period were the result of a series of activities undertaken in order to improve business efficiency and rationalize production processes at all AD Plastik Group sites.

The decline in operating expenses of AD Plastik Group in 2016, which was greater than the decline in operating revenue, resulted in the EBITDA in the amount of HRK 135.9 million, which is 18.3% more than in the previous year. By improving the cost efficiency of the AD Plastik Group, we've achieved high EBITDA margin of 14.5 percent compared with 11.2% in 2015.

Net profit of the AD Plastik Group in 2016 increased by 7.5 percent compared to the previous year, and amounted to HRK 49.7 million, while the realized net profit margin rose to 5.31 percent compared to 4.49% in 2015.

Net profit margin 4.49% 5.31%

There has been a continuing trend of improving financial position of AD Plastik Group and AD Plastik d.d. which started in 2015. Credit debt was reduced by HRK 38 million on 31 December 2016, compared to the same date last year. During this period, accounts payable to the suppliers were reduced by HRK 42.4 million. Debt ratio was also decreased from 0.52 to 0.45, and all indicators point to a positive cash flow and good liquidity of the AD Plastik Group.

The results stabilized at higher levels throughout 2016 and despite a small decline in revenue, left our investors with the feeling of security while earning trust in the Management Board and values of AD Plastik, as previously reported. In 2016 we paid out a dividend of 12 kunas per share, and the price of share ADPL-R-A increased by 40.2%, for which AD Plastik d.d. won the Zagreb Stock Exchange Award in the Top Price Gainer category. The price of the share on 31 December 2016 amounted to HRK 138.00, while it amounted to HRK 98.46 on the same day the previous year.

We are pleased to announce that we have fulfilled one of the strategic objectives that we have set in the past year - exiting the JV agreement with Faurecia Automotive Holding s.a.s., France. AD Plastik d.d and Faurecia Automotive Holdings s.a.s.u. have signed the Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Shares according to which AD Plastik sells and Faurecia purchases 278,136 shares (40%) of the company Faurecia ADP Holding s.a.s., France, which is a hundred percent owner of the company OOO Faurecia ADP in Luga. Transfer of shares pursuant to the Agreement was executed in December 2016. Faurecia consequently become the sole owner of Faurecia ADP Holding s.a.s, i.e. FADP plant in Luga, Russia. Said sale of shares has no impact on the operating results of the AD Plastik Group and plans in the Russian Federation.

AD Plastik continues the successful cooperation with Faurecia through the joint company Euro Auto Plastic Systems s.r.l, Romania.

Operating revenue of AD Plastik Group by markets

The ratio of operating revenue generated by the Group on the EU and Serbian market and the Russian market remains unchanged in 2016 compared to 2015.

Three-quarters of the total revenue of the AD Plastik Group are realized on the market of the EU and Serbia through the sites in Solin and Zagreb in Croatia and the site in Mladenovac in Serbia. In 2016 the operating revenue on the EU and Serbian market decreased by 9% compared to the previous year, primarily due to the reasons mentioned above - exchange rate effect when expressing revenue in kuna, lower revenue generated through project activities and smaller orders placed by our client Hella. It is important to emphasize that the revenue generated through the project Edison, which has the greatest impact on the revenue of AD Plastik d.d., in the reporting period, is higher than the revenue generated through this project in the previous period, despite the aforementioned euro exchange rate.

In the past year we have focused on development in the field of products with greater strategic potential in order to strengthen our offer and expand the portfolio of customers and products. The objectives were achieved through new deals for the following multi-year period with Maserati, Fiat, Volkswagen and Renault, with a total value of over EUR 20 million annually in the years of full production.

EU and Serbian market Russian market (subsidiaries)

AD Plastik Group companies operating on the Russian Federation market place the total of their production on the Russian market. Last year the sales of cars on the Russian market decreased by 11% compared to the previous year, whereby the decline in sales significantly slowed down in the last quarter. November was the first month after seven consecutive quarters in which we did not record a decline. Operating revenue of AD Plastik Group subsidiaries in Russia has in the observed period decreased by 9.6% compared to the previous year, which was for the most part a consequence of the kuna exchange rate, rather than the decline in sales themselves.

However, it should be noted that the lower utilization of production capacities and sales still has not stabilized at higher levels. With regular adjustments to selling prices prompted by exchange rate fluctuations and a strive to improve cost efficiency, Russian companies have in the observed period operated quite successfully. We are therefore satisfied with the profit they realized. Medium and long-term movements of the Russian economy are currently following a trend of growth dynamics. Moreover, the rouble exchange rate is moving towards its stabilization. Current 2017 projections indicate a growth of the Russian economy and the strengthening of the Russian rouble associated with the price of crude oil barrel and forecasts about an increase in crude oil prices. Expectations indicate that the decline in car sales will stop and sales will increase by 4%.

AD Plastik Group with consolidation of corresponding ownership parts in affiliated companies

With the aim of presenting a clearer picture of business of AD Plastik Group, we have created an abbreviated consolidated profit and loss account for 2015 and 2016 with consolidated profit and loss account of affiliated companies Euro Auto Plastic Systems s.r.l. Mioveni, Romania (50% of ownership of AD Plastik d.d.), and Centre for research and development of automotive industry Croatia (24% of ownership AD Plastik d.d.).

Taking into consideration that AD Plastik sold its shares in Faurecia ADP Holding s.a.s., France, in 2016, operative results of this company was not included in the abbreviated consolidated profit and loss account for 2016, and the impact of operations of this company in 2015 has been reclassified and shown under the "Share of loss of associated companies" position for comparison purposes.

AD Plastik Group's operating revenue with the corresponding ownership interest in associated companies decreased by 5.5 percent compared to last year, while EBITDA increased by 6.7 percent compared to the previous year and amount to HRK 196,4 million in total.

The results of associated companies are included in the result of the AD Plastik Group using the equity method, and these companies have no financial borrowings to external entities.

To the owners of AD Plastik d.d., Solin:

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Accuracy of the foreign and domestic sales balances (Note 6 to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income)

According to the disclosures made in Note 6, the total sales of the Group for the financial year amount to HRK 913,383 thousand (2015: HRK 1,002,363 thousand).

Sales are important for assessing the Group's performance. There is a risk that the reported sales may be higher than the actual amount earned by the Group. Operating income is accounted for when a sales transaction is completed, the goods are delivered to the customer and when all economic risks are transferred by the Group. The Group generates revenue from foreign and domestic sales. The transfer of the risks and rewards takes place when goods or services are transferred to the customer, when the goods are paid and available at the location of a third or related party. The sales process is supported by internal controls implemented in the Group's IT systems.

Given a high degree of reliance on the IT systems and the potential impact of incorrect revenue accounting, we have concluded that the accuracy of the revenue is a key audit issue to be focused on during the audit.

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our substantive audit procedures included the test of the design and the operational efficiency of internal automated and manual controls at the Group, as well as tests of details so as to ensure that the revenue and the transactions are correctly accounted for. The key internal automatic control the Group relies on in asserting the correct recognition of revenue is the automatic matching of the order numbers and contract numbers in the Group's IT environment.

Testing of internal control

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key internal controls surrounding the sales process. Our test procedures included:

  • checking whether dispatch documents match with the underlying contracts and orders,
  • review of contracts with selected customers,
  • checking whether the ordered quantity corresponds with the quantity i.e. amount specified in the dispatch document, and
  • checking whether dispatch documents have been signed by a designated authorised person of the Group.

Based on the internal control test results, we defined the scope and nature of tests to be performed to consider whether the revenue is properly accounted for, which included test of details of internal documents, by matching them with the recognised sales and the related payment transactions. Based on all the audit evidence obtained by applying the procedures described above, we consider the methodology of revenue recognition to be appropriate.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Capitalisation of non-production costs of finished products on stock at the Group

As disclosed in the Group's consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the total increase in the value of work in progress and finished products amounts to HRK 541 thousand (2015: a decrease of HRK 593 thousand), while Inventories stated in separate statement of financial position at December 31, 2016 amount to HRK 107,565 thousand (at December 31, 2015 HRK 97,786 thousand). Inventory items are subject to the risk of capitalisation of non-production costs, i.e. those costs that, according to IAS 2 "Inventories", do not qualify for capitalisation as other production overheads.

Other production overheads are important for the purpose of assessing the Group's performance, as they affect the carrying amount of finished products and hence the calculations of the Group's KPIs.

The Group defines the costs to be recognised as expenses for the period and those to be included in the carrying amount of finished products in its internal regulations, procedures and based on past experience and industry practice. The costs are reviewed and apportioned to the production process of the Group.

Given the high degree of reliance on the IT systems and the potential impact of incorrect inventory accounting, as well as the methodology used to perform the calculations, we have concluded that the accuracy in determining capitalised non-production costs is a key audit issue to be focused on during the audit.

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our audit procedures included mapping the production accounting process, identifying internal controls the Group has established over those processes and testing the production calculations by means of tests of details of capitalised costs. This included analysing the nature of the cost incurred, the cost centres, the functions of the costs in the Group's production process as well as the management estimate of the portion of non-production costs associated with the production process to be capitalised and the portion to be recognised directly as an expense for the period.

In addition, we re-performed and checked the calculations of the inventory values on the entire Group's inventory population in accordance with the Group's internal cost accounting methodology.

While performing the audit procedures, we identified all items split by internal allocation keys to production and non-production costs. We identified the costs we considered material and performed an assessment of the compliance of the capitalised costs with IAS 2. We considered the nature of the costs, the cost centres as well as the methodology for capitalising the costs of finished products. Based on all the audit evidence obtained by applying the procedures described above, we consider the methodology of capitalising non-production and production costs of finished products to be appropriate.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated annual financial statements and our auditor's report.

Our opinion on the consolidated annual financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated annual financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated annual financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the Management Board Report and the Declaration of application of the Code of Corporate Governance, which are included in the Annual Report, we have also performed the procedures prescribed by the Accounting Act. These procedures include examination of whether the Management Board Report and Declaration of application of the Code of Corporate Governance include required disclosures as set out in Article 21 of the Accounting Act and whether the Corporate Governance Strategy includes the information specified in Article 22 of the Accounting Act.

Based on the procedures performed during our audit, to the extent we are able to assess it, we report that:

  • 1) Information included in the other information is, in all material respects, consistent with the attached consolidated financial statements.
  • 2) Management Board Report for the year 2016 has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Article 21 of the Accounting Act.
  • 3) Declaration of application of the Code of Corporate Governance has been prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with Article 22, paragraph 1, points 3 and 4, and also includes the information from Article 22, paragraph 1, points 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the Act.

Based on the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment, which we gained during our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have not identified material misstatements in the other information. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of the Management and Supervisory Board for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Management Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated annual financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated annual financial statements, the Management Board is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Supervisory Board is responsible for oversight of financial reporting process established by the Management Board.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated annual financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related

to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The Company anticipates the adoption of other stated standards and amendments of existing standards will not have a material effect on the financial statements in the period of initial application.

Issue of hedge accounting of financial assets and financial liabilities remains unregulated due to the fact that the principles of hedge accounting in the European Union have not yet been adopted. According to the Company's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to the portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" as of the date of the statement of financial position would not significantly impact the financial statements.

Set out below are the principal accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements for the current and prior year.

3.1. Statement of compliance

The separate financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act of the Republic of Croatia and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union.

3.2. Basis of preparation

The Group maintains its accounting records in the Croatian language, in Croatian kuna and in accordance with Croatian laws and the accounting principles and practices observed by enterprises in Croatia.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Act of the Republic of Croatia and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) requires from management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on the information available as at the date of preparation of the financial statements, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group represent aggregate amounts of assets, liabilities, capital and reserves of the Group as of 31 December 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended. The accounting policies are consistently applied by all the Group entities.

3.3. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Parent has control over the subsidiary if, based on its control, is exposed to variable returns and has the capability to influence the variable returns of the subsidiary. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

3.4. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for products, goods or services sold in the regular course of operations.

Revenue is stated net of value added tax, estimated returns, rebates and discounts. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow into the Group.

Income from sale of products

Product sales are recognized when the products are delivered to, and accepted by the customer and when the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of a product are transferred to the customer. Sales to customers with whom self- invoicing has been arranged are recognised upon receiving from such a customer the confirmation of delivery, i.e. when significant risks are transferred to the customer.

Income from the manufacture of tools for a known customer

Accrued revenues are matched with contracts that are specifically concluded for developing an asset, or a group of assets, closely linked and interdependent on the design, technology and function, or their final use or application. The Group is required to recognize revenue according to the stage of completion of a contractual performance. Pursuant to IAS 18, when the outcome of a production contract can be estimated reliably, the revenue and costs associated with the contract should be recognized according to the stage of completion of the contractual performance at the date of the statement of financial position. Interest income

3.4. Revenue recognition (continued)

Interest income is recognised on a pro rata basis, using the effective interest method. Interest earned on balances with commercial banks (demand and term deposits) is credited to income for the period as it accrues. Interest on trade receivables is recognised as income when accrued.

3.5. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Croatian kunas at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transactions. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the statement of financial position. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit and loss for the year. At 31 December 2016, the official exchange rate of the Croatian kuna against 1 euro (EUR) was HRK 7.557787 (31 December 2015: HRK 7.635047 for 1 EUR).

3.6. Income tax expense

Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit and loss, except where it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is also recognised in equity. Current tax represents tax expected to be paid on the basis of taxable profit for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the date of the statement of financial position, adjusted by appropriate prior-period tax liabilities. The income tax rate for years 2015 and 2016 amounts to 20 %.

Under Croatian tax regulations, group entities are not subject to taxation on a consolidated bases, and tax losses cannot be transferred within group entities. Subsidiaries are subject to taxation in their respective jurisdictions.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply to taxable profit in the period in which the liability is expected to be settled or the asset realised, based on the tax rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial position. The income tax rate applicable to deferred tax assets is 18 %, given that the application of the new law is in force since 1 January 2017.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the amount that the Group expects, at the date of the statement of financial position, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified in the statement of financial position as non-current assets and/or non-current liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. At each date of the statement of financial position, the Group reviews the unrecognised potential deferred tax assets and the carrying amount of the recognised deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities.

In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or in determining the excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the fair val-

3.7. Property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are recognised at purchase cost and subsequently reduced by accumulated depreciation/amortisation. The purchase cost comprises the purchase price, import duties and non-refundable sales taxes (on property, plant and equipment) and any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to its working condition and location for its intended use, such as employee remuneration, professional fees directly arising from putting an asset into its working condition, test costs (for intangible assets), as well as all other costs directly attributable to brining an asset to a condition for its intended use. Maintenance and repairs, replacements and improvements of minor importance are expensed as incurred. Where it is obvious that expenses incurred resulted in an increase of expected future economic benefits to be derived from the use of an item of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets in excess of the originally assessed standard performance of the asset, they are added to the carrying amount of the asset. Gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets are included in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Depreciation commences on putting an asset into use. Depreciation is provided so as to write town the cost or revalued amount of an asset other than land, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets under development over the estimated useful life of the asset using the straight-line method as follows:

Tangible and intangible assets Depreciation
rates in 2016
Depreciation
rates in 2015
Buildings 1.50 1.50
Machinery 7.00 7.00
Tools, furniture, office and laboratory

control instruments

Vehicles 20.00 20.00

Others 10.00 10.00
Projects 20.00 20.00
Software 20.00 20.00

ues of the identifiable net assets of a business at the acquisition date. Goodwill is presented as an intangible asset.

Goodwill is tested for impairment anually or more often if the events and circumstances that indicate potential impairment occur. Goodwill is measured as cost of acquisition less accumulated losses due to impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses from the sale of a business include the net book value of goodwill, which relates to the sold business. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

3.8. Investment property

Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured at cost, which includes transaction costs.

All of the Group's property interests held under operating leases are accounted for as investment properties.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use as well as when no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

3.9. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment as well as of its intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that the assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

3.10. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, but no control over the entity. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but it is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results of operations of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Group's share in the profit or loss of associates is recognised in profit and loss from the date of acquisition of significant influence until the date on which significant influence is lost. The results of operations of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting.

Investments are recognised initially at cost and are subsequently adjusted by the changes in the acquirer's share of the net profit of the investee. Where the Group's share of losses in an associate is equal to or higher than the equity investment in the associate, no further losses are recognised, except where the Group has assumed an obligation or committed to make a payment on behalf of the associate.

3.11. Inventories

Inventories of raw material and spare parts are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all variable selling costs.

Cost of work in progress and finished products comprises the cost of raw material and supplies, direct labour and other costs and the portion of overheads directly attributable to work in progress.

Small inventory is written off when put in use.

The cost of product inventories i.e. the production costs is based on direct material used, the cost of which is determined using the weighted average cost method, then direct labour costs, and fixed overheads at the actual level of production which approximates the normal capacities, as well as variable overheads that are based on the actual use of the production capacities.

Merchandise on stock is recognised at purchase cost.

3.12. Trade receivables and prepayments

Trade debtors and prepayments are carried at nominal amounts less an appropriate allowance for impairment for uncollectible amounts.

Impairment is made whenever there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, the probability of bankruptcy proceedings at the debtor, or default or delinquency in payment are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

Management determines the level of impairment allowance for doubtful receivables based on a specific review of the recoverability of amounts owed by strategic customers of the ADP Group and of the overall ageing of other current receivables. The allowance for amounts doubtful of collection is charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year.

3.13. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises account balances with banks, cash in hand, deposits and securities at call or with maturities of less than three months.

3.14. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each date of the statement of financial position and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of discounting is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation, determined using the estimated risk free interest rate as the discount rate. Where discounting is used, the reversal of such discounting in each year is recognised as a financial expense and the carrying amount of the provision increases in each year to reflect the passage of time.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the date of the statement of financial position, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

3.15. Termination, long-service and other employee benefits

(a) Pension-related obligations and post-employment benefits

In the normal course of business, the Group makes payments, through salary deductions, to mandatory pension funds on behalf of its employees, as required by law. All contributions made to the mandatory pension funds are recognised as salary expense when accrued. The Group does not have any other retirement benefit plan and, consequently, has no other obligations in respect of the retirement benefits for its employees. In addition, the Company is not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date. The Group recognises its termination benefit obligations in accordance with the applicable Union Agreement.

(c) Regular retirement benefits

Otpremnine koje dospijevaju u razdoblju duljem od 12 mjeseci nakon izvještajnog datuma, diskontiraju se na njihovu sadašnju vrijednost.

(d) Long-term employee benefits

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the period in which they arise.

Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested. Otherwise, it is amortised on a straight-line basis over certain period until the benefits become vested.

3.16. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, long-term receivables, loans, borrowings and investments. The details of the recognition and measurement of those items are presented in the corresponding policies.

Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

3.16. Financial instruments (continued)

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability, and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indications of impairment at each date of the statement of financial position. A financial asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Impairment loss on a financial asset is recognised by reducing the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recoded as income for the period.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset have expired, when the asset is transferred and when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual arrangement.

Revaluation reserves

A part of the Group companies have elected the revaluation method as a method of subsequent measurement. When the carrying amount of such assets increases on revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated within equity as a revaluation reserve. Revaluation is performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the one that would be measured at fair value at the date of the statement of financial position. On derecognition of such an asset (as a result of retirement or disposal), the revaluation reserve accumulated in equity relating to that asset can be transferred directly to retained earnings.

3.16. Financial instruments (continued)

Translation reserves

The Group may have a monetary item as an amount receivable from, or payable to a foreign entity. An item neither planned to be settled nor likely to arise in the foreseeable future is essentially part of the entity's net investment in a foreign operation and accounted for in accordance with IAS 21. The Group recognizes foreign exchange differences arising from monetary items that are part of the net foreign investment initially in other comprehensive income and accumulates them under a separate component of equity – revaluation reserves.

On disposal of a net investment in a foreign operation, the entire balance of exchange differences is transferred from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment).

3.17. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in financial statements. They are disclosed only when the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is certain. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but it is disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits becomes probable.

3.18. Events after the reporting date

Events after the date of the statement of financial position that provide additional information about the Group's position at that date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

3.19. Segment reporting

The Group monitors and presents the results of its principal operating segments separately. The segment reporting is based on identified geographical areas. Certain financial information about the geographical segments are presented in Note 5.

The Group presents the revenue by geographical location, but does not monitor information about the long-term assets and the revenue generated in those areas from external customers.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTI-MATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on past experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually reviewed. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Areas of estimation include, but are not limited to, depreciation periods and residual values of property, plant and equipment, and of intangible assets, value adjustment of inventories, impairment of receivables, and litigation provisions. The key areas of management estimation in applying the Group's accounting policies that had a most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements were as follows:

Useful life of property, plant and equipment

As described in Note 3.7, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. Property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost, less accumulated depreciation.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTI-MATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)

Availability of taxable profits against which the deferred tax assets could be recognised

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. In determining the amount of deferred taxes that can be recognised significant judgements are required, which are based on the probable quantification of time and level of future taxable profits, together with the future tax planning strategy. In 2016, deferred tax assets on available tax differences were recognised.

Impairment allowance on trade receivables

Management provides for doubtful receivables based on a review of the overall ageing of all receivables and a specific review of significant individual amounts receivable. The allowance for amounts doubtful of collection is charged to the profit and loss for the year.

Actuarial estimates used in determining the retirement benefits

The cost of defined benefits is determined using actuarial estimates. Actuarial estimates involve assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases and the mortality or fluctuation rates. Because of the long-term nature of those plans, there is uncertainty surrounding those estimates.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 January 2009. IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

33. PROVISIONS

(in thousands of kunas)

Long-service and termination benefits

Defined benefit plan

According to the Union (Collective) Agreement, the Company has the obligation to pay long-service (jubilee awards), retirement-related and other benefits to employees. The Company operates a defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. Benefits payable upon retirement and long-service benefits are defined in the Collective Agreement and employment agreements. No other post-retirement benefits are provided.

Long-service benefits are paid for full years of service in the month of the current year in which the service is determined as completed.

The present value of defined benefit obligations arising from long-service benefits and benefits payable upon retirement is determined using the Projected Credit Unit method and serves as the basis for arriving at the past and current service costs, the interest expense and the actuarial gain or loss.

Key assumptions used in calculating the required provisions are the discount rate of 3.60 % and the fluctuation rate of 6.60 %.

(in thousands of kunas)

The Group's gearing ratio, expressed as the ratio of net debt to equity, is as follows:

31.12.2016 31.12.2015
Short-term borrowings (Note 37) 223,058 163,100

Net debt includes credits extended to purchase goods in the amount of HRK 16,520 thousand (31 December 2015: HRK 28,488 thousand).

Equity consists of share capital, reserves, own shares and retained earnings.

42.2. Categories of financial instruments

31.12.2016 31.12.2015
Financial assets 238,004 333,040
Loans and receivables 224,780 318,299
Cash and cash equivalents and deposits (Notes 29 and
30)
13,224 14,741
Financial liabilities 596,147 669,885
Trade and other payables 187,330 215,705
Borrowings (Notes 34 and 37) 408,817 454,180

At the reporting date there are no significant concentrations of credit risk for loans and receivables designated at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income. Excluded from the balance are amounts receivable from and payable to the State.

42.3. Financial risk management objectives

The Finance function of the Group, which coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, performs risk management at Company's by means of internal risk reports, which analyse exposures by the degree and magnitude of risks, and implementing activities to manage the risks effectively and minimise them. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group does not enter into, or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

42.4. Price risk management

The Group's operations expose it to price risk, which is the risk associated with changes in the prices of key raw materials, transportation, other production costs and strong pressure from competitors and customers. However, in the automotive industry, open product price calculations prevail, and the price fluctuations of raw materials and other costs, either the upward or downward, are being adjusted with customers through selling price on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis (depending on the customer). The largest markets on which the Group provides its services and sells its products comprise the EU market and the market of the Russian Federation. The Management Board of the Group determines the prices of its products for each foreign market separately.

42. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(in thousands of kunas)

42.5. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk arises from its borrowings. The interest rate risk exposure is low, as there are no significant financial instruments at variable rates.

42.6. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a party to a financial instrument will not meet its obligations arising therefrom and hence incur losses to the other party. The assets that expose the Group to credit risk consist mainly of loans and trade receivables. Loans are granted to its subsidiaries and as such credit risk is under the control of the Group. Trade receivables are presented net of allowance for bad and doubtful accounts.

The five largest customers of the Group are Revoz, Slovenia; Reydel Automotive France; OAO Avtovaz Russia; Hella Saturnus, Slovenia; and Renault Russia. In 2016 the Company generated 61.41% percent of its sales from its major customer, Renault and its subsidiaries (2015: 61.23 %).

It is the policy of the Group to transact with financially sound companies where the risk of default is minimised.

42.7. Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are provided in the table below using the middle exchange rates of the Croatian National Bank:

42.9. Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments held to maturity in the ordinary course of business are carried at the lower of cost and net amount less repaid portion.

The fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction, except in the event of a forced sale or liquidation. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price quoted on a stock exchange or arrived at using the discounted cash flow method.

At 31 December 2016 the carrying amounts of cash, receivables, short-term liabilities, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings and other financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these assets and liabilities.

43. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

After 31 December 2016, there were no events that would have a significant impact on the financial statements for the year 2016, respectively they are not of such significance to the Group to require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

44. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Based on the Management's estimate, the Group had no material contingent liabilities at 31 December 2016 which would require to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

As at 31 December 2016 there were no material legal actions with a potential negative outcome for the Group other than those reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

45. APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements were approved by the Management Board of AD Plastik d.d. and authorised for issue on 19 April 2017.

Responsibility for the separate financial statements

Pursuant to the Accounting Act of the Republic of Croatia, the Management Board is responsible for ensuring that separate financial statements are prepared for each financial year in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted in the European Union, which give a true and fair view of the financial position and results of operations of AD Plastik d.d. Solin (the "Company") for that period.

After making enquiries, the Management Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Management Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the separate financial statements.

In preparing those separate financial statements, the Management Board is responsible for:

  • selecting suitable accounting policies and then applying them consistently;
  • making reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates;
  • following applicable accounting standards and disclosing and explaining any material departure in the separate financial statements; and
  • preparing the separate financial statements under the going concern principle unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Management Board is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Company and their compliance with the Croatian Accounting Act. The Management Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company, and hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the owners of AD Plastik d.d., Solin:

Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

We have audited the separate annual financial statements of AD Plastik d.d., Solin ("the Company") which comprise the separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 and the separate statement of comprehensive income, the separate statement of changes in equity and the separate statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate annual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements (continued)

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Accuracy of the foreign and domestic sales balances

According to the disclosures made in Note 5, the total sales of the Company for the financial year amount to HRK 701,423 thousand (2015: HRK 753,704 thousand).

Sales are important for assessing the Company's performance. There is a risk that the reported sales may be higher than the actual amount earned by the Company. Operating income is accounted for when a sales transaction is completed, the goods are delivered to the customer and when all economic risks are transferred by the Company. The Company generates income from foreign and domestic sales. The transfer of the risks and rewards takes place when goods or services are transferred to the customer, when the goods are paid and available at the location of a third or related party. The sales process is supported by internal controls embedded in Company's IT systems.

Given a high degree of reliance on the IT systems and the potential impact of incorrect revenue accounting, we have concluded that the accuracy of the revenue is a key audit issue to be focused on during the audit.

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our substantive audit procedures included the test of the design and the operational efficiency of internal automated and manual controls at the Company, as well as tests of details so as to ensure that the revenue and the transactions are correctly accounted for. The key internal automatic control the Company relies on in asserting the correct recognition of revenue is the automatic matching of the order numbers and contract numbers in the Company's IT environment.

Testing of internal control

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key internal controls surrounding the sales process. Our test procedures included:

  • checking whether dispatch documents match with the underlying contracts and orders,
  • review of contracts with selected customers,
  • checking whether the ordered quantity corresponds with the quantity i.e. amount specified in the dispatch document, and
  • checking whether dispatch documents have been signed by a designated authorised person of the Company.

Based on the internal control test results, we defined the scope and nature of tests to be performed to consider whether the revenue is properly accounted for, which included test of details of internal documents, by matching them with the recognised sales and the related payment transactions. Based on all the audit evidence obtained by applying the procedures described above, we consider the methodology of revenue recognition to be appropriate.

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Capitalisation of non-production costs of finished products on stock at the Company

As disclosed in the Company's separate statement of comprehensive income, the total increase in the value of work in progress and finished products in 2016 amounts to HRK 1,528 thousand (2015: a decrease of HRK 3,256 thousand), while Inventories stated in separate statement of financial position at December 31, 2016 amount to HRK 54,644 thousand (at December 31, 2015 HRK 50,539 thousand). Inventory items are subject to the risk of capitalisation of non-production costs, i.e. those costs that, according to IAS 2 "Inventories", do not qualify for capitalisation as other production overheads.

Other production overheads are important for assessing the Company's performance, as they affect the carrying amount of finished products and hence the calculations of the Company's KPIs.

The Company defines the costs to be recognised as expenses for the period and those to be included in the carrying amount of finished products in its internal regulations, procedures and based on past experience and industry practice. The costs are reviewed and apportioned to the production process at the Company.

Given a high degree of reliance on manual calculations performed and the potential impact of incorrect inventory accounting, as well as the methodology used to perform the calculation, we have concluded that the accuracy of the capitalisation of non-production is a key audit issue to be focused on during the audit.

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our audit procedures included mapping the production accounting process, identifying internal controls the Company has established over those processes and testing the production calculations by means of tests of details of capitalised costs. This included analysing the nature of the cost incurred, the cost centres, the functions of the costs in the Company's production process as well as the management estimate of the portion of non-production costs associated with the production process to be capitalised and the portion to be recognised directly as an expense for the period.

In addition, we re-performed and checked the calculations of the inventory values on the entire Company's inventory population in accordance with the Company's internal cost accounting methodology.

In addition, we re-performed and checked the calculations of the inventory values on the entire Company's inventory population in accordance with the Company's internal cost accounting methodology.

While performing the audit procedures, we identified all items split by internal allocation keys to production and non-production costs. We identified the costs we considered material and performed an assessment of the compliance of the capitalised costs with IAS 2. We considered the nature of the costs, the cost centres as well as the methodology for capitalising the costs of finished products. Considering all the audit evidence above, we consider the methodology of capitalising non-production and production costs of finished products to be appropriate.

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries and associates

As disclosed in Note 23 to the Company's separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and associates amount to HRK 66,163 thousand (2015: HRK 66,155 thousand).

The investments are subject to the risk of impairment in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 36 "Impairment of Assets".

In accordance with IAS 36 and accounting policy adopted, the Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying amounts of its investments in subsidiaries and associates using generally accepted methodologies for performing impairment tests. The Company tests its investments in subsidiaries and associates for impairment using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. This includes using assumptions such as the discount rates used, and exchange rates if applicable, cash flow projections, etc.

Investments are considered to be impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment such as a reduced level of economic benefits flowing in from the investment, as a result of which the carrying amount of the investment in a subsidiary or associate becomes impaired.

Because of the significance of these judgements and the size of the investments in the subsidiaries and associates, the risk of impairment is a key area of focus.

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our procedures included evaluation and critical assessment of impairment testing process, taking into consideration the following:

  • the pro-forma statements of comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates to compare the budgeted against the actual amounts over a five-year period;
  • the net operating profit calculation;
  • the time horizon for the DCF model which included comparing the projected cash flows, including the assumptions relating to revenue growth rates and operating margins, against historical performance to test the accuracy of management's projections which also includes whether the model used by management to calculate the value in use of the individual Cash Generating Units complies with the requirements of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.;
  • the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculation which included subjecting the key assumptions to sensitivity analyses; and
  • the overall exposure of the Company to its subsidiaries and associates.

We reviewed the accuracy of the pro-forma statement of comprehensive income of the identified companies to identify any instances of inconsistently estimated net operating profits of those companies. Based on the audit evidence obtained, we concluded that the pro-forma statements of comprehensive income are appropriate. We assessed the time horizon used in the investment impairment model and, based on the audit evidence obtained, we concluded that the time horizon of five (5) years is a common industry practice and therefore appropriate.

Based on the re-performed calculations of the remaining inputs and a verification of their respective sources, we concluded that the DCF calculations for the identified subsidiaries and associates are appropriate.

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Related-party transactions

During the financial year the Company entered into significant transactions with its subsidiaries and associates, which are considred to be its related companies. At 31 December 2016 the Company's exposure with respect to receivables from its related companies amounts to HRK 278,844 thousand (2015: HRK 302,590 thousand) and its liabilities to related parties amount to HRK 5,537 thousand (2015: HRK 17,882 thousand). Based on the separate statement of comprehensive income, the Company's operating income from related companies amounts to HRK 58,546 thousand (2015: HRK 86,227 thousand) and its operating expenses with respect to related companies amount to HRK 41,703 thousand (2015: HRK 20,607 thousand). Other related-party transactions include financial income in the amount of HRK 50,481 thousand (2015: HRK 47,373 thousand) and financial expenses in the amount of HRK 181 thousand (2015: HRK 87 thousand).

In addition to the transactions involving legal entities, the Company also transacted with the members of its Supervisory and Managing Boards as well as its executives, who are classified as related parties in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 24.

Given the Company's high exposure to the related parties and the long-term nature of the exposures, the related-party transactions have been identified as one of key audit issues..

Description of audit procedures performed and their results

Our audit procedures included identifying the Company's related parties. The related parties were identified based on the following audit procedures:

  • making enquiries to the Company's employees;
  • review of the Company's documents describing the related parties as well as internal controls implemented by the Company to identify related parties;
  • review of the internal Managing and Supervisory Board meeting minutes and other documents of the Company;
  • identifying any unusual transactions at the Company during the audit;
  • identification of factors that may indicate a potential fraud at the Company arising from related-party transactions;
  • Identification of the nature of the transactions involving the Company.

Given the Company's exposure to its related parties, the audit procedures applied to substantiate the related-party transactions involved tests of details on the outstanding balances and the amounts arisen from the related-party transactions. The tests of details substantiate all the open balances, income and expenses arising from the Company's related-party transactions. The balances and transactions were substantiated by means of confirmation letters in which we sought from the responsible persons at the subsidiaries and associates to confirm their exposures to the Company. After having identified the manner in which the Company monitors its related-party transactions, we independently reconciled the balances with the list of transactions. Due to the importance of the related-party transactions, we also assessed the appropriateness and completeness of the related-party disclosures. Based on all the audit evidence obtained by applying the procedures described above, we consider that transactions with related parties are appropriately presented in separate financial statements.

Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements (continued)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate annual financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate annual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a

going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate annual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate annual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate annual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL RE-PORTING STANDARDS (COUNTINUED)

New standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU (continued)

The Company anticipates that the adoption of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" will have effect on financial statements in the period of initial application, however, currently it is not possible to determine their significance.

The Company anticipates the adoption of other stated standards and amendments of existing standards will not have a material effect on the financial statements in the period of initial application.

Issue of hedge accounting of financial assets and financial liabilities remains unregulated due to the fact that the principles of hedge accounting in the European Union have not yet been adopted.

According to the Company's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to the portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" as of the date of the statement of financial position would not significantly impact the financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Set out below are the principal accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements for the current and prior year.

3.1. Statement of compliance

The separate financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act of the Republic of Croatia and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union.

3.2. Basis of preparation

The Company maintains its accounting records in the Croatian language, in Croatian kunas and in accordance with Croatian laws and the accounting principles and practices observed by enterprises in Croatia.

The preparation of the separate financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Act of the Republic of Croatia and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) effective in European Union requires from the Management Board to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on the information available as at the date of preparation of the financial statements, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

The separate financial statements of the Company represent aggregate amounts of assets, liabilities, capital and reserves of the Company as of 31 December 2016, and the results of operations for the year then ended.

The Company also prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which include the financial statements of the Company, as the parent, and the financial statements of the subsidiaries controlled by the Company. In these financial statements, investments in entities controlled by the Company or in which the Company has significant influence are carried at cost less impairment, if any. For a full understanding of the financial positions of the Company and its subsidiaries, as a group, and of the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year, users are advised to read the consolidated financial statements of the Group AD Plastik d.d. Details of the investments in subsidiaries and associates are presented in Note 23.

3.3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for products, goods or services sold in the regular course of operations.

Revenue is stated net of value added tax, estimated returns, rebates and discounts. The Company recognises revenue when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow into the Company.

Income from sale of products

Product sales are recognized when the products are delivered to, and accepted by the customer and when the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of a product are transferred to the customer. Sales to customers with whom self- invoicing has been arranged are recognised upon receiving from such a customer the confirmation of delivery, i.e. when significant risks are transferred to the customer.

Income from the manufacture of tools for a known customer

Accrued revenues are matched with contracts that are specifically concluded for developing an asset, or a group of assets, closely linked and interdependent on the design, technology and function, or their final use or application. The Company is required to recognize revenue according to the stage of completion of a contractual performance because the costs incurred in connection with the transaction can be measured reliably. Pursuant to IAS 18, income and expenses related to the same transaction are recognized simultaneously. When the outcome of a production contract can be estimated reliably, the revenue and costs associated with the contract should be recognized according to the stage of completion of the contractual performance at the date of the statement of financial position.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a pro rata temporis basis, using the effective interest method. Interest earned on balances with commercial banks (demand and term deposits) is credited to income for the period as it accrues. Interest on trade receivables is recognised as income when accrued.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Croatian kunas at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transactions. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the statement of financial position. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of comprehensive income for the year. At 31 December 2016, the official exchange rate of the Croatian kuna against 1 euro (EUR) was HRK 7.557787 (31 December 2015: HRK 7.635047 for EUR 1).

3.5. Income tax

Current tax

Income tax expense is based on taxable profit for the year and represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is also recognised in equity. Current tax represents tax expected to be paid on the basis of taxable profit for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the date of the statement of financial position, adjusted by appropriate prior-period tax liabilities. The income tax rate for years 2015 and 2016 amounts to 20 %.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply to taxable profit in the period in which the liability is expected to be settled or the asset realised, based on the tax rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial position. The income tax rate applicable to deferred tax assets is 18 %, given that the application of the new law is in force since 1 January 2017.

3.5. Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax (continued)

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the amount that the Company expects, at the date of the statement of financial position, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified in the statement of financial position as non-current assets and/or non-current liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. At each date of the statement of financial position, the Company reviews the unrecognised potential tax assets and the carrying amount of the recognised tax assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities.

In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or in determining the excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost.

3.6. Property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are recognised at purchase cost and subsequently reduced by accumulated depreciation/amortisation. The purchase cost comprises the purchase price, import duties and non-refundable sales taxes (for property, plant and equipment) and any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to its working condition and location for its intended use, such as employee remuneration, professional fees directly arising from putting an asset into its working condition, test costs (for intangible assets), as well as all other costs directly attributable to bringing an asset to a condition for its intended use. Maintenance and repairs, replacements and improvements of minor importance are expensed as incurred. Where it is obvious that expenses incurred resulted in an increase of expected future economic benefits to be derived from the use of an item of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets in excess of the originally assessed standard performance of the asset, they are added to the carrying amount of the asset. Gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Depreciation commences on putting an asset into use. Depreciation is provided so as to write down the cost or revalued amount of an asset other than land, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets under development over the estimated useful life of the asset using the straight-line method as follows:

Property, plant and equipment,
and intangible assets
Depreciation
rates in 2016
Depreciation

Buildings 1.50 1.50
Machinery 7.00 7.00

Vehicles 20.00 20.00
IT equipment 20.00 20.00
Others 10.00 10.00
Projects 20.00 20.00
Software 20.00 20.00

3.7. Investment property

Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured at cost, which includes transaction costs.

All of the Company's property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals are accounted for as investment properties.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use as well as when no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The cost of product inventories i.e. the production price is based on direct material used,

3.8. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets

At each reporting date the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that the assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, The Company's assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units or, it this is not possible, they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

3.9. Investments in subsidiaries and associates

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has effective control over financial and operating policy decisions of the Company. The results, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are incorporated in these separate financial statements using the cost method of accounting.

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and usually an ownership interest from 20 to 50 percent, but no control over the entity. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but it is not control or joint control over those policies. The results of operations of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the cost method of accounting.

3.10. Inventories

Inventories of raw material and spare parts are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all variable selling costs.

Small inventory is written off when put in use.

the cost of which is determined using the weighted average cost method, then direct labour costs and fixed overheads at the actual level of production which approximates the normal capacities, as well as variable overheads that are based on the actual use of the production capacities.

Merchandise on stock is recognised at purchase cost.

3.11. Trade receivables and prepayments

Trade debtors and prepayments are carried at nominal amounts less an appropriate allowance for impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

Impairment is recognised whenever there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the originally agreed terms. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, the probability of bankruptcy proceedings at the debtor, or default or delinquency in payment are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

Management determines the level of impairment allowance for doubtful receivables based on a specific review of the recoverability of amounts owed by strategic customers of the ADP Group and of the overall ageing of other current receivables. The allowance for amounts doubtful of collection is charged to the statement of comprehensive income for the year.

3.12. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises account balances with banks, cash in hand, deposits and securities at call or with maturities of less than three months.

3.13. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are reviewed at each date of the statement of financial position and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of discounting is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation, determined using the estimated risk free interest rate as the discount rate. Where discounting is used, the reversal of such discounting in each year is recognised as a financial expense and the carrying amount of the provision increases in each year to reflect the passage of time.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the date of the statement of financial position, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

3.14. Termination, long-service and other employee benefits

(a) Pension-related obligations and post-employment benefits

In the normal course of business, the Company makes payments, through salary deductions, to mandatory pension funds on behalf of its employees, as required by law. The contributions paid to the mandatory pension funds are recognised as salary expense when accrued. The Company does not have any other retirement benefit plan and, consequently, has no other obligations in respect of the retirement benefits for its employees. In addition, the Company is not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date. The Company recognises its termination benefit obligations in accordance with the applicable Union Agreement.

(c) Regular termination benefits

Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting date are discounted to their present value.

(d) Long-term employee benefits

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the period in which they arise.

Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested. Otherwise, it is amortised on a straight-line basis over certain period until the benefits become vested.

3.15. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, long-term receivables, loans, borrowings and investments. The details of the recognition and measurement of those items are presented in the accounting policies below.

Investments are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis, where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned. They are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition..

Loans and receivables

Trade, loan and other receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables, where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability, and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indications of impairment at each date of the statement of financial position. A financial asset are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Impairment loss on a financial asset is recognised by reducing the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset have expired, when the asset is transferred and when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are passed onto another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual arrangement.

3.16. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities have not been recognised in these separate financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognised in financial statements, but it is disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits becomes probable.

3.17. Events subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position

Events after the date of the statement of financial position that provide additional information about the Company's position at that date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the separate financial statements when material.

3.18. Segment reporting

The Company monitors and presents the results of its principal operating segments separately. The segment reporting is based on identified geographical areas. Certain financial information about the geographical segments are presented in Note 5.

The Company presents the revenue by geographical location, but does not monitor information about the long-term assets and the revenue generated in those areas from external customers.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTI-MATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the Management Board is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on past experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually reviewed. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Areas of estimation include, but are not limited to, depreciation periods and residual values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of receivables, and actuarial estimates. The key areas of estimation in applying the Company's accounting policies that had a most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements were as follows:

Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

As described in Note 3.6., the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each annual reporting period. Property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Availability of taxable profits against which the deferred tax assets could be recognised

A deferred tax asset is recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the related tax benefit could be realised. In determining the amount of deferred taxes that can be recognised significant judgement is required, which is based on the probable quantification of time and level of future taxable profits, together with the future tax planning strategy. In 2016, deferred tax assets were recognised in respect of tax differences available for utilisation.

Impairment allowance on trade receivables

Management provides for doubtful receivables based on a review of the overall ageing of all receivables and a specific review of significant individual amounts receivable. The allowance for amounts doubtful of collection is charged to the statement of comprehensive income for the year.

Actuarial estimates used in determining the retirement benefits

The cost of defined benefits is determined using actuarial estimates. Actuarial estimates involve assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases and the mortality or fluctuation rates. Because of the long-term nature of those plans, there is uncertainty surrounding those estimates.

The income tax rate effective in the Republic of Croatia for the years 2016 and 2015 was 20 percent. Income tax rate applicable to deferred tax assets in 2016 was 18 %, given that the new income tax rate is applicable as of 1 January 2017.

On 24 October 2012 the Company filed with the Ministry of Economy the Application for Incentive Measures for the investment project "Expansion of Production for the Purpose of Export of Car Industry Products", in accordance with the Act on Investment Promotion and Development of Investment Climate (OG 111/2012 and 28/2013) and the Investment Promotion and Development of Investment Climate (OG 40/2013).

As a result, the Company made investments in fixed assets in 2016, having thus met the prerequisites for the utilization of the tax incentives for 2016.

Pursuant to the tax regulations, the tax authorities may at any time inspect the Company's books and records within three years subsequent to the year in which the tax liability is reported and may assess additional tax liabilities and impose penalties. The Company's management is not aware of any circumstances which may give rise to a potential material liability in this respect.

Defined benefit plan

According to the Collective Agreement, the Company has the obligation to pay long-service (jubilee awards), retirement-related and other benefits to employees. The Company operates a defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. Benefits payable upon retirement and long-service benefits are defined in the Union Agreement and employment agreements. No other post-retirement benefits are provided.

Long-service benefits are paid for full years of service in the month of the current year in which the service is determined as completed.

The present value of defined benefit obligations arising from long-service benefits and benefits payable upon retirement is determined using the Projected Credit Unit method and serves as the basis for arriving at the past and current service costs, the interest expense and the actuarial gain or loss.

Key assumptions used in calculating the required provisions are the discount rate of 3.60 % and the fluctuation rate of 6.60 %.
