EBITDA and EBITDA margin

The Group reported strong adjusted EBITDA growth in 2017, up 20% to HRK 623 million (HRK 519 million in 2016). Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by higher sales revenues (up 21%; from HRK 1,455 million to HRK 1,755 million) and active management of operating efficiency as seen in the adjusted EBITDA margin of 35.0% (34.9% in 2016). Adjusted EBITDA margin was high in 2017 despite 2017 negative impact of the lower seasonal EUR/HRK exchange rate and the VAT rate for hospitality services going from 13% to 25% as of 1 January 2017.

Revenues

Total revenues were HRK 1,842 million, up 17% in 2017 (HRK 1,580 million in 2016). In total revenues, HRK 1,755 million represented sales revenues (HRK 1,455 million in 2016) while the remaining part was mainly financial income, down HRK 27 million (from HRK 91 million to HRK 64 million) due to the absence of the one-off effect of 2016 income from share portfolio sale. Sales revenues growth was largely driven by higher board revenues, up 23% to HRK 1,448 million (HRK 1,175 million in 2016) and higher revenues of other operating departments (+HRK 17 million; leasing, sport, laundry, tourist agency, etc.).

The Group reported 6,173,142 overnights (+20%) in 2017 while ADR rose by 6%. Board revenue growth was mainly driven by: i) the acquisition of Imperial d.d. (hereinafter: Imperial), ii) large investments to improve competitiveness and the quality of services and products, iii) demanddriven optimization of distribution and prices, iv) better occupancy and strong performance in 1H 2017.

Costs

Operating costs rose by 21% to HRK 1,145 million, mainly due to i) this year's consolidation of Imperial, ii) increased material costs driven by larger business volumes, iii) the salary increase policy, and iv) new employees hired as construction staff (to carry out the large investments) and resort staff (to ensure service quality in the new Premium/ Upscale properties).

Financial result

The Group reported a negative financial result of HRK 21 million (in 2016 the reported profit was HRK 25 million). A weaker financial result is largely due to the absence of the one-off income from share portfolio sales achieved in 2016.

Profit

The Group's net profit fell by HRK 98 million to HRK 244 million in 2017 (HRK 342 million in 2016) due to weaker financial results (-HRK 46 million) and lower tax revenues (-HRK 64 million) mainly due the lower one-off recognition of deferred tax assets related to the achieved tax incentives prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion (HRK 54 million in 2017 vs. HRK 125 million in 2016).

Enterprise value

Enterprise value continued to grow (+26%) driven by increased operating business and efficient net debt management.

Investments

The Group's largest investments worth over HRK 900 million were completed and 2017 saw strong market demand for the newly renovated properties. Most of the investments were focused on the projects in Rabac (Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* and Valamar Girandella Resort 4*&5*), the development of premium camping resorts, Imperial's projects and a range of other smaller

Executive Summary Outlook (Continued)

projects for improving quality, operating efficiency and energy saving.

In line with the previously announced investments worth up to HRK 2 billion until 2020, the Group is planning new large investments worth HRK 705 million in 2018. The investments will strategically reposition the hotel and camping portfolio towards products and services with high added value.

For details, see "2017 Investments" on page 19 and "2018 Investments" on page 21.

Acquisitions

By the end of 2016, Valamar Riviera successfully acquired 54.71% of Imperial's share capital by the end of 2016 and concluded a contract covering the management of Imperial's properties and services. The implementation of the contract started on 4 January 2017 and now Valamar Riviera manages a portfolio of 30 hotels and resorts and 15 camping resorts that can welcome more than 56,000 guests daily.

Imperial's business consolidation accounts for 9 percentage points of growth in total revenues, or 11 percentage points in adjusted EBITDA.

Valamar's press release is available from the Valamar Riviera corporate website (valamar-riviera.com/ en/1Y2017).

Awards and Recognitions

Mr. Željko Kukurin, Management Board President at Valamar Riviera, was voted as Businessperson of the Year in 2017 by the readers of "Večernji list" and "Poslovni dnevnik".

Valamar Riviera was awarded the "Zlatna koza-Capra d'oro" (Golden Goat Award) by the Istria Tourist Board for its exceptional contribution to the development of Istrian tourism. It also received the Golden Kuna Award from the Croatian Chamber of Economy as the most successful Istrian company among large enterprises and was nominated for the title of most successful large company in Croatia.

Valamar Riviera received two valuable recognitions given by the Zagreb Stock Exchange in 2017: Share of the Year by public vote for the 6th consecutive time and Top Turnover Share. Moreover, it won another first place award for Best Investor Relations, conferred by the business newspaper "Poslovni dnevnik" and the Zagreb Stock Exchange.

Valamar Riviera has received numerous awards and certificates: TUI Environmental Champion 2017, Best Wi-Fi, Best hotel in TUI family concept, Best practice in TUI standards implementation - TUI; ANWB Top 2017 - ANWB, ADAC Superplatz 2017 - ADAC, Croatia's Best Campsite - Croatian Camping Association; Developer - Euromoney; Travelife GOLD Award - Travelife; Croatia's Leading Business Hotel, Croatia's Leading Hotel, Croatia's Leading Resort, Croatia's Leading Boutique Hotel - World Travel Awards; Camping2be 2017 Award - Camping2be. com; Recommended - Holidaycheck; Certificate of Excellence 2017, Top 25 hotels in Croatia, Top 10 hotels for Families in Croatia - TripAdvisor; Healthy Meal Standard - Healthy Meal Standard; World Luxury Hotel Awards - World Luxury Hotel Awards; Loved by guest 2017 - Hotels.com; ISO 50001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 - ISO, Codex Alimentarius - HACCP, etc.

Valamar Riviera d.d. and PBZ Croatia osiguranje (managing mandatory pension funds), submitted on 15 May 2017 a joint offer for the investment and recapitalization of a bankrupt hospitality company on Hvar Island, Helios Faros d.d. u stečaju (hereinafter: Helios Faros), with 591 keys in its portfolio. In July 2017, the Assembly of bankruptcy creditors of Helios Faros decided to prepare a Bankruptcy plan following the investment and recapitalization offer. However, the Bankruptcy plan still needs to be adopted by the Assembly of bankruptcy creditors and validated by the bankruptcy judge.

On 27 December 2017 Valamar Riviera submitted a binding bid to buy 55.48% of Hoteli Makarska d.d. share capital (HRK 172.7 million), which had been accepted on 12 February 2018 by Croatia's Restructuring and Sale Center-CERP. The agreement covering the purchase and transfer of shares is expected to be concluded in the first quarter of 2018. Valamar Riviera signed a cooperation agreement with Allianz ZB d.o.o. (managing mandatory pension funds) in order to start their joint activity towards Hoteli Makarska that manages a portfolio of 725 keys.

In accordance with our strategic goals for the period up to 2020, we are focusing on investments projects aimed at improving the portfolio properties and services. However, numerous factors reduce the competitiveness of Croatian tourism and hinder further investment potential: VAT and the rate of total contributions to salaries (both among the highest in the Mediterranean), the still unresolved issue of tourism land, skilled labor shortages, the likely introduction of property tax and tourist tax increase.

Following the successful acquisition of the Baška hotel group on Krk Island and the Imperial hotel group on Rab Island, we are considering further expansion by pursuing new partnerships and acquisition opportunities in Croatia and abroad.

Stakeholders' interests are actively promoted through Valamar Riviera's principles of sustainable growth, development and corporate social responsibility. The company aims at growing further through portfolio investments, new acquisitions and partnerships, by developing its destinations and human resources and by increasing operating efficiency.

Acquisition of Imperial

Valamar Riviera concluded a Management contract with Imperial by the end of 2016 regarding the management of Imperial's properties and services. The implementation of the contract started on 4 January 2017. On 27 December 2016, when the takeover bid transaction was completed,

Valamar Riviera acquired 54.71% of Imperial's share capital. Valamar Riviera also concluded a cooperation agreement with Allianz ZB from Zagreb, acting in its own name and on behalf of the mandatory pension funds it manages (category A and B). With this agreement, the two companies established joint activity towards Imperial. Valamar Riviera and Allianz ZB expect to achieve significant synergies in the future development of Imperial's hotel portfolio and Rab as a tourist destination.

General Assembly of Valamar Riviera

The General Assembly of Valamar Riviera was held on 4 May 2017 and decided that:

  • • The Company's realized profits in 2016 totaling HRK 336,657,721 were distributed as follows: HRK 16,402,312 to legal reserves and HRK 320,255,410 to retained profits.

The total dividend that Valamar Riviera's shareholders received on 29 May 2017 was HRK 99.4 million. 99% of this amount was paid in cash, and the remaining 1% in company shares.
  • The appointed Auditor for Valamar Riviera d.d. in 2017 is Ernst & Young d.o.o. from Zagreb, 50 Radnička cesta.
  • As the term of office for the Supervisory Board members expired on 6 July 2017, the following were appointed for a new 4-year term: Mr. Gustav Wurmböck, Mr. Franz Lanschützer, Mr. Mladen Markoč, Mr. Georg Eltz, Mr. Hans Dominik Turnovszky, Mr. Vicko Ferić, and Mr. Valter Knapić - employee representative appointed by the Works Council. The newly elected Supervisory Board members started their term of office on 7 July 2017.

Puntižela d.o.o. merger

In order to improve the operating efficiency and streamline operations, on 6 February 2017 Valamar Riviera initiated the merger of Puntižela d.o.o. (hereinafter: Puntižela). The merger was completed on 31 March 2017 when it was recorded in the court register, after which Valamar Riviera became the universal legal successor of the merged company.

Investment and recapitalization offer for Helios Faros

Valamar Riviera d.d. and PBZ Croatia osiguranje, a pension fund management company acting in its own name and on behalf of the mandatory pension funds it manages (category A and B) submitted on 15 May 2017 a joint offer for the investment and recapitalization of Helios Faros, a bankrupt hospitality company from Stari Grad on Hvar Island. The Assembly of bankruptcy creditors of Helios Faros decided on 20 July 2017 to prepare a Bankruptcy plan, following the investment and recapitalization offer for Helios Faros. In this offer, PBZ Croatia osiguranje and Valamar Riviera presented a restructuring plan as well as a six-year plan worth HRK 650 million for investments in hospitality assets. The total renovation and construction of two premium resorts containing around 600 accommodation units would reposition the Helios Faros portfolio as premium accommodation, thus turning Stari Grad into an attractive and well-known destination. Helios Faros would employ 500 people after the renovation of the Arkada and Lavanda hotels. The Bankruptcy plan would enable Helios Faros to emerge from bankruptcy and continue its business operations in close partnership with the destination, Stari Grad, in order to bring prosperity to the whole island. PBZ Croatia osiguranje and Valamar Riviera see this project as a confirmation of synergies from the joint activity of a large institutional investor and a strategic tourism investor contributing with its expertise and results. Consequently, Valamar Riviera would manage Helios Faros' development and operations through a model

contract related to the management of facilities. However, the Bankruptcy plan still needs to be adopted by the Assembly of bankruptcy creditors and validated by the bankruptcy judge.

The Group's new total investments worth HRK 705 million are focused on repositioning the portfolio towards products and services with high added value. For details, see "2018 Investments" on page 21. The

investment community was notified on 5 September 2017 that the investment in a new family hotel, Valamar Pinia Family Suites 5*, had been postponed due to an unpredictable fiscal framework for investors in tourism as well as delays in the preparation of required technical data.

Changes in the percentage of voting rights

On 26 January 2018 Valamar Riviera received the notification of EPIC, Goldscheider und Wurmböck Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H., a company with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plösslgasse, Republic of Austria, regarding the changes in the percentage of voting rights. The change in the percentage of voting rights, i.e. fall below the voting rights threshold, was due to the transfer of shares pursuant to the demerger agreement and status change –demerger of EPIC, Goldscheider und Wurmböck Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H., as demerging company and EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plösslgasse, Republic of Austria, as transferee company.

Overnights and ADR

Total revenues

Total revenues were HRK 1,842.0 million in 2017, and their strong growth (+16.6% or +HRK 262.5 million) resulted from the following:

i) Sales revenues rose by 20.6% (+HRK 300.4 million) to HRK 1,755.3 million, mainly driven by board revenues (+23.3% or +HRK 273.2 million) and the revenues of other operating departments: leasing, sport, laundry, tourist agency, etc. (+HRK 16.8 million).

ADR rose by 6.4% to HRK 548, the total number of accommodation units sold was 2.639.755 (+15.9%) thanks to the active management of revenues, sales channels and marketing segments. Board revenues hit HRK 1.447,9 million (+HRK 273,2 million). All marketing segments grew in January and February, except for M.I.C.E.17. March saw smaller business volumes due to Easter holidays occurring in April. However, this was offset in April when all marketing segments received great feedback. May was affected by the later occurrence of holidays in the German and Austrian source market, and the positive effects were carried over into June. Apart from the holiday factor, June saw a strong demand for Valamar Riviera's portfolio products and services, thus driving an optimum price yield, especially in destination Poreč. The growth in board revenues in high season (July-September) was mainly driven by ADR increase. The direct sales channel presented the highest growth rates, especially in northern destinations, as focus was shifted from the less profitable OTA18 channel. Shoulder season (October-December) saw higher group and allotment numbers especially during holidays in the German and Austrian market, and an increase in the number of US guests in Dubrovnik. The market feedback during the Christmas/ New Year period was as strong as usual. Domestic sales revenues rose by 26.1% over 2016 results to HRK 150.1 million and represented 8.1% of total revenues (7.5% in 2016). International sales revenues rose by HRK 269.4 million to HRK 1,605.2 million and represented 87.1% of total revenues (84.6% in 2016).

ii) Financial income fell by 30.0% (-HRK 27.2 million) to HRK 63.6 million due to the absence of 2016 one-time income effect driven by share portfolio sale.

iii) The consolidation of Imperial contributed to the Group's total revenues with 9 percentage points.

Other operating and financial income represented 4.7% of total revenues (7.9% in 2016).

Total operating expenses

Total operating expenses grew by 22.3% (+HRK 277.0 million) to HRK 1,518.9 million. If Imperial's data are excluded for comparability's sake, total operating expenses grew by 11%. The breakdown of total operating expenses is the following:

i) Material costs represented 34.2% of total operating expenses (36.3% in 2016) and rose by 15.4% (+HRK 69.4 million) to HRK 519.8 million, mainly due to Imperial's consolidation and increased raw material costs (especially direct food and beverage costs, as well as costs of energy and water consumption) driven by larger business volumes.

ii) Staff costs represented 31.6% of total operating expenses (29.9% in 2016) and rose by 29.3% (+HRK 108.8 million) to HRK 480.2 million, mainly due to the efforts invested in securing competitive salaries, benefits and work conditions well as the hiring of construction site staff (to carry out the large investments) and resort staff (to ensure high service quality in the new Premium/ Upscale properties). In 2017 these efforts resulted in Valamar guaranteeing a minimal monthly net salary of HRK 4,000, and an increase in the base salary and coefficients that resulted in a 19% increase in the volume of total salaries. Consequently, following an agreement with trade unions, the base salary for nearly two thousand Valamar employees increased (2% in June 2016, 2% in December 2016 and 1.5% in June 2017; and 0.5% increment for years of service as of 1 January 2017) as well as the Tariff coefficients (2.5%) for

21 Adjustments were made for (i) extraordinary income (in the amount of HRK 11.0

nearly 50 key and scarce occupations (maids, cleaners, chefs, waiters and other)

iii) Amortization cost represented 22.8% of total operating expenses (21.4% in 2016) and rose by 30.6% (+HRK 81.3 million) to HRK 346.4 million, mainly due to the consolidation of Imperial and the previous investments.

iv) Other costs represented 9.5% of total operating expenses (10.3% in 2016) and rose by 11.9% (+HRK 15.3 million) to HRK 143.8 million, mainly due to Imperial's consolidation.

v) Provisions and value adjustments represented 0.6% of total operating expenses (0.2% in 2016) and rose by 277.6% (+HRK 7.1 million) to HRK 9.6 million, mainly due to Imperial's consolidation, provisions for litigations in progress and the value adjustment of non-core assets of Magične stijene d.o.o.

vi) Other operating expenses represented 1.3% of total operating expenses (1.9% in 2016) and fell by 20.0% (-HRK 4.8 million) to HRK 19.2 million due to operating expenses of previous years.

Operating costs20

Operating costs rose by 20.6% to HRK 1,145.2 million mainly due to i) this year's consolidation of Imperial, ii) increased raw material costs driven by larger business volumes and iii) increased staff costs (as previously explained). If Imperial's consolidation is excluded for comparability's sake, operating costs grew by 12% and remained under control through active cost management.

EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA21 jumped by 20.0% (+HRK 103.5 million) to HRK 622.6 million, as a result of the largest investments so far that were focused on improving competiveness and the quality of services and products, the Imperial hotel group acquisition, active operating efficiency management and demand drivenoptimization of distribution and prices. Imperial's consolidation carried 11 percentage points in the growth. Unadjusted EBITDA rose by 18.2% (+HRK 93.5 million) to HRK 606.0 million as a result of better performance. Please note that the strong growth in adjusted and unadjusted EBITDA is influenced by the 2017 negative impact of the lower seasonal EUR/HRK exchange rate and the VAT rate for hospitality services going from 13% to 25% as of 1 January 2017.

Profit

The Group's net profit fell by HRK 97.2 million to HRK 245.1 million in 2017 due to weaker financial results (-HRK 46.0 million; for details see next page) and lower tax revenue (-HRK 64.0 million) mainly due to the lower one-off recognition of deferred tax assets22. EBT margin fell by 490 basis points to 13% (18% in 2016).

22 In 2017 deferred tax assets was recognized mainly due to tax incentives prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion and Investment Improvement which amounted to HRK 54.1 million, in respective to HRK 124.7 million in 2016.

Financial result

The Group achieved a negative financial result of HRK 20.9 million in 2017 (in 2016 it achieved a positive financial result of HRK 25.2 million). The financial result decreased by HRK 46.1 million mainly due to a i) HRK 35.0 million decrease in income from share portfolio sale resulting from the absence of last year's one-off income effect, ii) HRK 5.0 million decrease in net forex gains related to long-term loans (in 2017 total forex gains were HRK 31.6 million, and total forex losses were HRK 25.5 million), and iii) the net effect of a HRK 6.3 million increase in financial expenses related to long-term loan interest.

Financial income

Financial income fell by HRK 27.2 million over 2016 results to HRK 63.6 million. The most significant decrease was reported in other financial income due to the aforesaid absence of the one-off income effect of HRK 35.0 million driven from 2016 share portfolio sale. Forex gains related to long-term loans increased by HRK 10.8 million to HRK 31.6 million. Financial income related to interest fell by HRK 3.6 million to HRK 0.7 million as a result of reduced free cash flow and lower interest rates in 2017 vs. 2016.

Financial expenses

Financial expenses rose by HRK 18.8 million over 2016 to HRK 84.5 million. Forex loss related to long-term loan rose by HRK 15.8 million to HRK 25.5 million. Financial expenses related to interest rose by HRK 6.3 million to HRK 40.1 million driven by higher financial leverage used for 2017 investments. Unrealized expenses from financial assets fell by HRK 1.5 million to HRK 6.8 million, driven by higher interest rates that had a positive impact on IRS fair value.

Board revenues of hotels and resorts rose by 20.6% (+HRK 189.9 million) to HRK 1,109.6 million. Their growth was driven by the strong demand for the new Premium and Upscale properties, the Imperial hotel group acquisition, demand-driven optimization of the marketing mix and prices and the successful realization of group stays (leisure and events). Please note that the growth was partly due to the performance of the hotels and resorts on Rab Island. If excluded, the total board revenues of hotels and resorts grew by 10%.

Premium hotels and resorts

The strong growth reported by Valamar Zagreb 4* was driven by ADR increase in peak season and larger business volumes in the shoulder season, especially through allotments and groups. Valamar Hotel & Casa Sanfior 4* reported strong growth mainly due to a very good group placement in the shoulder season and excellent direct sales results. The Tamaris Resort reported board revenue growth mainly driven by two events, "X-Jam Croatia" and "Lighthouse Festival Croatia".

Rab Island

This year's consolidation of hotels and resorts and camping resorts on Rab Island contributed with HRK 131.8 million. Destination Rab reported a 14% increase in board revenues over 2016 results.

Destination Dubrovnik

Over the years Valamar Riviera has consolidated its portfolio in order to clearly differentiate, develop and reposition its hospitality products. A precise definition of market segments, innovative development of service concepts, brand management, increase in profitability and ROI optimization demanded a revision of the portfolio segments.

Last year's acquisition of Imperial added 5 new hotels and resorts and 2 camping resorts to Valamar Riviera's portfolio. The additional 2,759 keys contributed to the growth of the Group's business volume and profitability in 2017. The Group's total accommodation capacity in 2017 was 20,852 keys.

Material costs were HRK 511.8 million, representing 37% of operating expenses (38% in 2016) and rose by HRK 37.6 million due to higher raw material costs (direct food and beverage costs and costs of energy sources and water) driven by larger business volumes. Staff costs rose by HRK

78.4 million over 2016 results to HRK 443.8 million, representing 32% of operating expenses (30% in 2016). Growth was driven by i) Hoteli Baška and Puntižela mergers and staff carryover, ii) salary increase policy (June 2016: 2%, December 2016: 2%, June 2017: 1.5%, and 0.5% increment for years of service as of 1 January 2017), and iii) the hiring of construction site staff (to carry out the large investments) and resort staff (to ensure high service quality in the new Premium/Upscale properties).

Other financial income had the most significant decrease of HRK 35.0 million, resulting from the absence of last year's one-time income driven by share portfolio sale. Interest and other financial income jumped by HRK 11.7 million mainly driven by forex gains related to long-term loans due to HRK appreciation in 1H 2017. Interest

income fell by HRK 3.7 million to HRK 0.5 million as a result of reduced free cash flow and market yield in 2017 vs 2016.

Financial expenses were HRK 82.1 million, up by HRK 21.3 million over 2016 results and mainly driven by forex loss of HRK 13.9 million related to long-term loans due to HRK depreciation in 2H 2017. Due to land revaluation in a subsidiary (Magične stijene d.o.o.) the value of the Company's stake decreased by HRK 5.6 million as a one-time effect of the value adjustment. Financial expenses related to interest rose by HRK 4.8 million due to financial leverage used for 2017 investments.

Operating profit rose by HRK 2.5 million to HRK 240.2 million. Profit before tax was HRK 217.7 million (HRK 265.1 million in 2016). The Company's gross margin was 13% (18% in 2016). Net profit fell by HRK 104.7 million to HRK 232.0 million in 2017 (HRK 336.7 million in 2016), resulting from weaker financial results (-HRK 49.9 million) and this year's lower (-HRK 57.3 million) one-time recognition of deferred tax assets that will burden gross profit in the forthcoming years of utilization.

Total company assets as at 31 December 2017 were HRK 4,632 million and rose by 11.7% vs 31 December 2016.

2017 Investments Valamar Girandella Resort 4*&5*, Rabac

Investments worth HRK 877.7 million were capitalized in the existing portfolio of non-current tangible assets in 2017, of which HRK 174.2 million represented assets under construction.

The total value of 2016/2017 investments exceeded HRK 900 million27 and represented the largest series of portfolio investments so far. HRK 494 million were earmarked for improving products and services in Rabac (Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* and Valamar Girandella Resort 4*&5*). Besides hotels and resorts, a number of investments worth HRK 186 million was focused on campsites. The most significant were the investments in Camping Resort Lanterna and two campsites, Zablaće and Ježevac. Investment maintenance was HRK 68 million, while other individual investments totaled HRK 138 million. Imperial's investments totaled nearly HRK 21 million.

Two luxury resorts in Rabac, a brand new Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* (the first TUI Family Life hotel in Croatia) and a fully renovated Valamar Girandella Resort 4*&5* welcomed its guests in the 2017 season. The large investment project in Rabac included the total reconstruction of the two resorts totaling 764 keys, the construction of 17 restaurants and bars, and 13 pools with total water surface of more than 2,000 m 2 . The new features included a brand-new Maro club and various children playgrounds, two entertainment centers, a wellness facility, indoor and outdoor fitness facilities, a bike center and other sports amenities. Almost 600 staff members attended to over 2,700 guests daily. The investments included various improvements of beaches and promenades as well as a total landscape redesign. Croatian contractors and suppliers were hired to carry out most of the construction work and about 50% of them were local, Istrian entrepreneurs. These

investments repositioned Rabac as a leading high-end

Family Life Bellevue Resort 4*, Rabac leisure destination. The 3-year strategic partnerships with the leading European tour operators – TUI and DER Touristik Köln (seasons: 2017, 2018 and 2019) helped secure occupancy. Consequently, more than 100,000 guests are expected to visit Rabac in the next three years, thus improving the promotion of Istrian tourism. Moreover, new opportunities for season prolongation will emerge as the number of guests from air travel markets grows.

Besides key investments in Rabac, Valamar Riviera continued investing in the concept of Premium camping. HRK 98 million were focused on upgrades in Camping Resort Lanterna 4*, one of the best European campsites. The reception area with the shops and catering establishments underwent renovation, and the campsite now features new high quality mobile homes and amenities for children. HRK 66 million were invested in upgrading accommodation and services on Krk Island and new high- quality mobile homes for two campsites, Ježevac 4* and Zablaće 3*. In order to improve the quality of other campsites on Krk Island, in Istria and Dubrovnik, a range of investments was focused on improving accommodation, beach amenities, restaurants and bars.

Imperial completed its investments totaling nearly HRK 21 million in 2017. Most of it was invested in a new premium zone and luxury mobile homes at San Marino campsite 3*. Significant investments were made in improving the business communication network and preparing the necessary project documentation for the forthcoming investments.

Moreover, several other projects to create new and upgrade existing features were completed and they will considerably improve the quality and experience at all destinations. They included beaches, Wi-Fi coverage expansion, business digitalization, technological processes and energy efficiency.

2018 Investments

In line with the previously announced investments of up to HRK 2 billion until 2020, Valamar Riviera Group is carying out new large investments worth roughly HRK 705 million28 in 2018. The planned investments represent the continuation of Valamar Riviera's strategy to reposition the portfolio towards products and services with high added value. With the planned completion of Valamar Girandella Resort 4*&5*, Rabac will be repositioned as leading leisure destination for high-end guests. HRK 116 million have been earmarked for the opening of first Kinderhotel in Valamar's portfolio-Valamar Girandella Maro Resort Hotel 5* in Rabac. Kinderhotels Europa is a marketing association that brings together high-quality premium family hotels under the Austrian "Kinderhotels" brand. Valamar Girandella Maro Resort Hotel 5* is a premium hotel offering 149 keys, with services and design tailored according to the needs of families with children of various age groups. The concept of the lobby, restaurant and pool complex as well as the interior design of hotel accommodation is centered around the idea of family holidays.

Nearly one third of total investments will focus on Istra Camping Resort in Funtana, Camping Resort Lanterna in Poreč and two campsites on Krk Island, Camping Ježevac and Camping Zablaće. The first phase of repositioning Istra Camping Resort as premium accommodation is planned for 2018. The investments include improvements in the communal infrastructure, one part of the camping pitches and the construction of a new sanitary block. The investments planned in Camping Resort Lanterna 4* will focus on improving accommodation and quality. In the forthcoming season, the resort will feature a new premium mobile home zone designed according to the "Maro" brand standards and two new swimming pools. "Maro" is a Valamar brand that is family-oriented and includes child-friendly services

and facilities. Moreover, the glamping zone will be completed, the sports zone will be renovated and will feature new facilities and services. The investments in Camping Ježevac 4* will also include the expansion of the mobile home zone and two new swimming pools. The investments in Camping Zablaće are focused on improving services and upgrading the campsite from 3* to 4* with new high–quality mobile homes, a new sanitary block and other amenities. Investments in Dubrovnik focus on repositioning Valamar Argosy 4* hotel: HRK 60 million have been earmarked to improve the quality of accommodation and develop new facilities and services for an "adult friendly" premium product. Investment maintenance totals HRK 64 million. Plans include numerous other investments in improving the competitiveness and quality of guest amenities and products. Valamar is especially focused on further investments in increasing the capacity and quality of accommodation for seasonal employees, with nearly HRK 45 million earmarked for this purpose. Imperial's investments planned for 2018 are HRK 72 million. New investments include the renovation and repositioning of Grand hotel Imperial 4* as "adults only" accommodation. Investments planned in the camping segment include the completion of the Premium Mobile Home zone in San Marino 3* and the expansion of the Premium Mobile Home zone in Padova III 3*.

As stated in our strategic goals, by continuously raising the quality of the portfolio properties and services, we create added value both for our guests and all company stakeholders. However, numerous factors reduce the competitiveness of Croatian tourism and hinder further investment potential: VAT (one of the highest rates in the Mediterranean), the rate of total contributions to salaries, the still unresolved issue of tourism land, skilled labor shortages, the likely introduction of property tax and tourist tax increase. While global trends report low interest rates and market demand focuses on safe tourist destinations, Croatia has the opportunity to reposition its tourism by incentivizing investments in products and services with high added value that stimulate employment and economic growth. Unfortunately, tourism is still not sufficiently recognized as an opportunity for the Croatian economy. Apart from the current financing programs offered by HBOR (Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development), tax incentives prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion and Improvement, and the decrease in the income tax rate (from 20% to 18%, January 2017) there are no other measures that could significantly increase the growth pace and contribute to level Croatia's position with other destinations in the Mediterranean.

The Risks of the Camping Ježevac 4*, Krk Island Company and the Group

Tourism is a global industry, closely connected with the real and financial economy, geopolitical position and environmental sustainability. The integrity of this industry will determine its future growth. Given the importance of tourism and its overall impact on society, the Company and the Group monitor and assess risks at micro and macro levels. Moreover, when defining the strategy, particular attention is given to the short and medium–term risk impact in order to maintain business sustainability over time.

When monitoring and assessing risks the Company and Group use a proactive approach thus assessing the potential impact of each individual risk. The Company and Group consider risk management to be a key factor of differentiation among competitors. Risk management aims at creating sustainable value, thus offering reliability and security to numerous stakeholders.

There are five key steps in a risk management process:

  • 1) Identifying potential risks;
  • 2) Assessing identified risks;
  • 3) Determining actions and responsibilities for efficient risk management;
  • 4) Monitoring and overseeing preventive actions;
  • 5) Exchanging information on risk management results conducted by the Management board.

The different types of risks facing Valamar Riviera can be classified into the following groups:

  • Financial risks
  • related to financial variables, can have a negative impact on meeting liabilities for the company and the Group, liquidity, debt management etc.;
  • Business risks
  • related to the way company business is conducted in terms of supply and demand, competition, adapting to market trends, investments, growth etc.;
  • Operational risks
  • can arise form errors in business operations, human error, IT system etc.;
  • Global risks
  • can arise from natural disasters, pandemics, food shortage, social unrest, wars and other force majeure events beyond Valamar Riviera's control;
  • Compliance risks
  • can arise from failure to comply with state laws and local regulations; risks related to changes in tax and other regulations.

Financial risks

In their day-to-day business activities, the Company and Group face a number of financial threats, especially:

  • 1) Foreign exchange risk;
  • 2) Interest rate risk;
  • 3) Credit risk;
  • 4) Price risk;
  • 5) Liquidity risk;
  • 6) Share-related risks.

The Company and Group have a proactive approach in mitigating interest rate and foreign exchange risks, by employing available market instruments. Internal risk management goals and policies aim at protecting foreign currency inflows during seasonal activity and partial interest hedging of the principal loan amount.

1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company and Group conduct their business operations across national borders and are exposed to foreign exchange risks. They mainly result from changes in the euro/ kuna exchange rate. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. Most of the sales revenue generated abroad is denominated in euros, and so is the major part of longterm debt. Hence, for the most part the Company and Group are naturally hedged from exchange rate risks. Since some liabilities are denominated in kunas, the Company and Group actively manage risks by using derivative instruments available on the financial market. The instruments are used according to operating assessments and expected market trends. In this way the assets, liabilities and cash flow are protected from the risk impact.

2) Interest rate risk

Variable rate loans expose the Company and Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Periodically, the Company and Group resort to derivative instruments in order to hedge cash flow and interest rate by applying interest rate swaps. The economic effect of such swaps is the conversion of variable interest rate loans into fixed interest rate loans for a precommitted hedged part of the loan principal. The Company and Group have interest-bearing assets (cash assets and deposits) so their revenue and cash flow depend on changes in market interest rates. This becomes evident especially during the season when the Company and Group have significant cash surpluses at their disposal.

3) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash assets, time deposits and receivables. According to the Company and Group sales policy, business transactions are conducted only with customers with suitable credit history, i.e. by agreeing advances, bank securities and (for individual customers) payments made through major credit card companies. The Company and Group continuously strive to monitor their exposure towards other parties and their credit rating as well as obtain security instruments (bills of exchange, promissory notes) in order to reduce bad debt risks related to services provided.

4) Price risk

The Company and Group hold equity securities and are exposed to equity price risk due to security price volatility. Valamar Riviera is not an active participant in the market trade in terms of trading in equity and debt securities. However, with the HRK 291 million invested in buying Imperial shares, the company is exposed to the said risk to a certain extent.

5) Liquidity risk

The Company and Group have a sound liquidity risk management. Sufficient funds for meeting liabilities are available at any given moment through adequate amounts from contracted credit lines and by ensuring credit line availability in the future. Liquidity risk is managed by generating strong positive net operating cash flows, while capital investments are financed by credit lines. All the credit lines in 2017 have already been arranged with financial institutions. The repayment of the major credit lines coincides with periods of strong cash inflows from operations. The Company and Group monitor the level of available funds through daily cash and debt reports. Long-term cash flow forecasts as well as annual (monthly) forecasts are based on the set budget. After meeting the needs of working capital management the surplus is deposited in the treasury. From there the funds are invested in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposit accounts and marketable securities. Only instruments with suitable maturities and sufficient liquidity are selected, according to the forecast needs for liquid funds.

6) Share-related risks

The market value of shares is the riskiest asset class due to its volatility resulting from the volatile nature of the whole capital market, macroeconomic trends on markets where the Company and Group operate and discrepancies between the expectations of financial analysts and the actual results.

in the dividend policy, various activities in the segment of consolidations, mergers, acquisitions and forming of strategic partnership, the instability of the business model of the Company and Group as well as the fluctuations in the financial results for the Company and Group. In case any negative implications happen to be associated with these factors there is a considerable risk of market value drop that will in turn prevent investors from selling their shares at a fair market price.

Business risk

The Company and Group are constantly exposed to risks threatening its competitiveness and future stability. Since the Company and Group own real estate, this business model requires a large amount of capital in order to maintain high product and service standards. Various large capital investments in the upgrade of products and services can surpass budget expectations, delay the end of construction works, as well as the town-planning regulations and fiscal policy may be changed. These risks can increase costs for the Company and Group, and have a negative impact on the cash flow and revenues. In the previous period, the company and Group's business decisions improved their results and operating efficiency in the demanding Mediterranean market. These positive trends are expected to continue in the future through a prudent long-term strategic management.

Over 95% of Valamar Riviera's guests come from other countries and they are very careful when choosing their vacation destination in the competitive Mediterranean environment. Stable domicile countries macroeconomic indicators are important decision-making factors especially those relating to exchange rates and the price of goods and services because they directly affect the guests' purchasing power. However small, the share of

Grand Hotel Imperial 4*, Rab Island Furthermore, other contributing factors are also changes domestic guests is also important; it is a segment directly influenced by various other macroeconomic indicators: employment/ unemployment rate, GNP rise/fall, industrial production and others. They all have a direct impact not only on the purchasing power of Croatian residents but they also determine whether they will choose to spend their vacation on the Adriatic.

When considering risks related to the tourism and hospitality industry, in previous years, the Croatian economy has been afflicted by the consequences of a global financial crisis and economic standstill. In this period, the tourism and hospitality industry has been among the rare growing industries in Croatia. Moreover, the marked seasonality of this industry leads to insufficient use of the Company and Group's resources. After joining the European Union, the Croatian market became part of a large European market, while safety risks decreased after joining the NATO. The Croatian Tourism Development strategy until 2020 (a government document published in the Official Gazette no. 55/13) defines the kind of tourism Croatia wants and needs to develop using the country's comparative advantages and expertise in order to improve the competitiveness of Croatian tourism. Maintaining the current tourism growth rates in the following years is of vital importance. It can be achieved by strategically developing tourism products and investing in the creation of additional values, which will help distinguish Croatian tourism from its competitors by emphasizing its uniqueness, appeal and quality.

Good management of human resources is vital for the future growth of the Company and Group. Risks related to shortages of specific skills, expertise and jobs are connected with the opening and expansion of the labor market. Valamar Riviera is one of the largest and most desirable employers in tourism. The active approach towards HR management develops key talents and

supports investments in training opportunities (HRK 2.5 million invested in training and professional development during 2017). We determine the needs for new skills and expertise by following emerging global trends in tourism. In this way, we are able to respond to challenges effectively. Through a continual dialogue with our social partners, we have ensured a high level of workers' rights in terms of competitive salaries, reward systems, career development, employees' wellbeing and cooperation with training institutions from all parts of Croatia.

Operational risks

Operational risks are risks connected with direct or indirect losses that arise form inadequate or wrong internal or external processes within the Company and the Group. They include the creation and analysis of finanical reporting data, and also inadequate information sharing. When implementing the system of operational risk management, the Company and Group focused on its continuity and complexity due to the size of the organization. The benefits of the system include i) defining and identifying the Company and Group risk profile in relation to the operating risk ii) identifying and managing the known risk occurrences in order to decrease the Company and Group costs and iii) data analysis which

The Company and Group are aware of the reliability of IT business solutions and safety in the cyber world. Hence, they continually upgrade, develop and implement new technologies in everyday business operations. A special focus is given to providing sufficient resources for the development and implementation of new technologies related to ICT, data protection, and upgrade of the current business systems and implementation of new ones.

Global risks

Despite improved security and political conditions, which have encouraged to a certain extent investments into tourism and hospitality, there are challenges that the Croatian tourism has to face, such as:

  • • Periods of global financial crisis which reduce the purchasing power of the travelling-prone population;
  • • Security issues related to globally escalating terrorism threats;
  • • Security and political instability in the immediate environment of the neighboring countries.

Environmental risks can also have an adverse effect on the Company and Group's business results, primarily in terms of customer satisfaction with the whole experience while staying at one of Valamar's properties and this can affect the number of arrivals. The possible risks can include: sea pollution (caused by oil or chemical spillage), but also long-term water quality reduction and coast pollution due to inadequate waste disposal and waste water treatment as well as extensive use of agricultural fertilizers. Other environmental conditions typical for climate changes such as long drought periods or long rainy periods can directly influence the guests' length

Compliance risks

Changes in tax laws and other regulations pose a very serious threat and represent a demanding segment in risk management because in this particular situation the possibilities for the Company and Group are limited. In previous years, there has been a number of important changes in tax and non-tax charging regulations, which have adversely affected the Company and Group profitability:

• In March 2012 the standard VAT rate grew from 23% to 25%, in January 2013 a new 10% VAT rate was introduced only to be replaced within a year by a 13% VAT rate applicable to the tourism and hospitality industry (January 2014), while in January 2017 a new 25% VAT rate was introduced for F&B (a la carte) services;

  • In May 2012 the health insurance employer contribution rate fell from 15% to 13% and then in April 2014 it grew back to 15%;
  • Frequent increases in various fees and charges regarding water distribution and the like;
  • Tourist tax increase in 2018 ranging between HRK 2.5 and HRK 8.0 per person per overnight, depending on the class of the destination and utilization period (August 2017).

Such frequent changes in laws regulating taxes and parafiscal charges often take place only after the business policy and budget for the next financial year have been approved and commercial terms and conditions with partners agreed. All this jeopardizes the Company and Group financial position and future investment plans as well as credibility towards shareholders. The Company and Group are also threatened by changes in regulations governing concession fees for maritime domain and tourism land use, the latter still presenting unresolved legal issues. Given the nature of the Company and Group's business, the right to use parts of the maritime domain as well as land for tourism purposes is of vital importance for future growth, especially for campsiterelated operations.

Corporate Governance

The Company and the Group continuously strive to develop and operate according to good practices of corporate governance. The business strategy, corporate policy, key corporate regulations and business practice are all geared towards creating a transparent and efficient business operation while forging solid bonds with the local community. In order to foster further growth and set high corporate governance standards, the Company adopted its own Corporate Governance Code in 2008 and the Management Board fully complies with its provisions. After the company was listed on the Official market of the Zagreb Stock Exchange, the Company has also complied with the Zagreb Stock Exchange Governance Code. The Company respects and implements the prescribed corporate governance measures (as reported in detail in the prescribed annual questionnaire and published as prescribed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange and Valamar Riviera websites).

The major direct shareholders according to the Central Depository and Clearing Company data are listed in the table in the "Valamar Riviera Share" section.

The Company defined the process of preparing and disclosing financial reports in a detailed internal document. With this, the financial reporting procedure is set within a system of internal review and risk management. Moreover, in order to monitor and mitigate the financial reporting risk, the Company uses the measures described in "The Risks of the Company and the Group".

The Companies Act and the Company Statute define the General Assembly's authority and prescribe how it meets and works. The meeting invitation, proposals and the adopted resolutions are made public according to the provisions of the Companies Act, Capital Market Act and the Zagreb Stock Exchange Rules. There is a time limit related to the voting right at the General Assembly: according to the provisions of the Croatian Companies Act, shareholders are required to register their participation within the prescribed time limit in order to attend the General Assembly. Under no circumstances can the financial right arising from securities be separated from holding the securities. There are no securities with special control rights nor are there any limitations to voting rights at the Company (one share, one vote). The Company Statute complies with the Croatian Companies Act and defines the procedure of appointing and recalling members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board.

R E P O R T

to the General Assembly of VALAMAR RIVIERA d.d. from Poreč on the performed supervision of the Company's business management in 2017

I

In the course of the year 2017 (i.e. reporting period) until 6 July 2017, the Supervisory Board consisted of: Gustav Wurmböck, Chairman, Franz Lanschützer and Mladen Markoč, Deputy Chairmen, and Members: Georg Eltz, Mariza Jugovac, Hans Dominik Turnovszky and Vicko Ferić. Due to the expiration of the 4-year term of office, at the General Assembly held on 4 May 2017 the following were re-appointed as Supervisory Board Members for another 4-year term of office: Gustav Wurmböck, Mladen Markoč, Franz Lanschützer, Georg Eltz, Hans Dominik Turnovszky and Vicko Ferić, while the Works council appointed Valter Knapić as employee representative on the Supervisory Board.

Therefore, as of 7 July 2017, the Supervisory board consisted of: Gustav Wurmböck, Chairman, Franz Lanschützer and Mladen Markoč, Deputy Chairmen, and Members: Georg Eltz, Hans Dominik Turnovszky, Vicko Ferić and Valter Knapić.

Apart from the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board members formed the following three bodies: Presidium of the Supervisory Board, consisting of: Gustav Wurmböck, Chairman and SB Deputy Chairmen Franz Lanschützer and Mladen Markoč; Audit Committee, consisting of: Georg Eltz, Chairman and Members Franz Lanschützer, Mladen Markoč, Vicko Ferić and Dubravko Kušeta; Investment Committee, consisting of: Franz Lanschützer, Chairman and Members Georg Eltz, Vicko Feric, Hans Dominik Turnovszky and Gustav Wurmböck.

II

In the course of 2017, the Supervisory Board regularly received written reports on business operations, as well as other reports, proposals and decisions by the Management Board. The Supervisory Board examined and rendered its decisions pertaining to the said reports, proposals and decisions pursuant to regulations and provisions of the Company's Statute. During the year 2017, the Supervisory Board held fourteen (14) meetings out of which nine (9) via correspondence, all pursuant

Supervisory Board's report on the performed supervision of Company's business management in 2017 (continued)

to the Company's Statute. At the said meetings, it discussed numerous issues related to the Company's business and also supervised the management of the Company's business.

The Supervisory Board committees together with the Management Board and other responsible persons and experts held sixteen (16) meetings in 2017. During the said meetings, they examined documents and proposals pertaining to which the Supervisory Board rendered its decisions. This improved the Supervisory Board's efficiency and understanding of the Company's business while performing the supervision.

III

Pursuant to its duties, the Supervisory Board performed the supervision through meetings, committees and through documents and detailed information submitted by the Management Board in the course of 2017 and therefore

e s t a b l i s h e d

that Valamar Riviera d.d. from Poreč conducts it business pursuant to the law, Company Statute and other regulations and decisions of the Company.

IV

The Supervisory Board devoted particular attention to the examination of the reports and proposals submitted by the Management Board and consisting of the following:

1) "2017 ANNUAL REPORT" of Valamar Riviera d.d. that also includes the following:

  • Annual financial statements for the year 2017, non-consolidated and consolidated, consisting of the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet), Income Statements, Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Cash Flow, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to Financial Statements;
  • Report on the performed audit by Ernst & Young d.o.o. from Zagreb;
  • Annual Management Report on the Company's status / Management Report.

2) Proposal regarding the distribution of profit and dividend payout;

3) Report on related party transactions in 2017.

At its meeting in the presence of the Auditor, Ernst & Young d.o.o. from Zagreb, the Audit Committee, followed by the Supervisory Board, examined the submitted Annual financial statements and established that they reflected the business records of the Company and rendered a veritable presentation of the position of the company in terms of business and assets, and therefore had no objections to them.

Pursuant to the previously submitted opinion by the Audit Committee, the Supervisory Board has no objection to the Auditor's report on the performed audit. Furthermore, the Supervisory board has no objections to the Annual Management Report on the Company's status.

Supervisory Board's report on the performed supervision of Company's business management in 2017 (continued)

The Supervisory Board also has no objection after examining the submitted Management Board Report on related party transactions.

V Besides the examination of the documents specified in the previous point, pursuant to the Company Statute, the Supervisory Board supervised the management of the Company's business by previously considering the Management board proposals that required the Supervisory Board's approval. In that part, the Supervisory Board paid particular attention to approving the conditions for concluding legal transactions, concessions and the management of real estate. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board particularly focused on the approval of each loan and regularly monitored the Company's financial status and cash flow. Besides the above mentioned, the Supervisory board regularly reviewed the monthly business results by focusing on each individual property and the Company as a whole in relation to the previously adopted business plans. In this area, special attention was devoted to the 2018 business plan.

Furthermore, in the course of 2017, the Supervisory Board particularly focused on reviewing, directing and approving the planned investments at all stages of their preparation and execution. This was done by considering the actual need to improve the overall level of quality and standards of the facilities and providing a realistic estimate of the opportunities to sell such facilities and services on relevant source markets as well as their financial feasibility and profitability.

The Supervisory Board examined and approved the merger of PUNTIŽELA d.o.o. and ELAFITI BABIN KUK d.o.o. to the Company (as transferee). The mergers were completed upon their entry into the court register on 31 March 2017, and 29 December 2017, respectively.

The Supervisory Board particularly monitored the Management Board in the processes of expressing interest for the purchase of shares and business stakes and potential acquisitions of strategic importance for the Company. One of the most important activities to which the Supervisory Board devoted particular attention in 2017 was the establishment of cooperation with two Zagreb-based companies managing obligatory pension funds, PBZ Croatia osiguranje (full name: PBZ Croatia osiguranje dioničko društvo za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondovima, hereinafter: PBZ CO) and Allianz ZB (full name: Allianz ZB d.o.o. društvo za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondom, hereinafter: AZ). The Company established a collaboration with PBZ CO in order to start their joint activity towards a bankrupt hospitality company from Stari Grad on Hvar Island, HELIOS FAROS d.d. u stečaju (hereinafter: HELIOS FAROS) and the two submitted a joint investment and recapitalization offer for HELIOS FAROS. The bankruptcy proceeding of HELIOS FAROS is expected to end in the course of 2018, when the Bankruptcy plan (pursuant to the offer made) is accepted. The Company established a collaboration with AZ in order to start their joint activity towards a Makarska-based hotel operator, HOTELI MAKARSKA d.d. (hereinafter: HOTELI MAKARSKA), and submitted a bid to CERP (Croatia's Restructuring and Sale Center) to buy a 55.48% stake (or: 621,086 shares) in HOTELI MAKARSKA, for HRK 172,661,908.00. The bid was accepted at the beginning of February and the acquisition of the shares is expected in 1Q 2018.

Finally, The Supervisory Board especially monitored the Management Board regarding the management of hospitality facilities and services of IMPERIAL d.d. Rab, pursuant to the concluded Management contract that has been implemented since 4 January 2017.

Pursuant to what has been previously stated, and according to the comprehensive insight gained through the supervision of the Company's business management and information received during the course of work of the Supervisory Board and its committees in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2017, and the conducted examinations from point V of this Report, at its meeting held on 27 February 2018, the Supervisory board

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE SEPARATE AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the separate financial statements of Valamar Riviera d.d. ("the Company"), and consolidated financial statements of Valamar Riviera d.d. and it's subsidiaries ("the Group") which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the separate and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, separate and consolidated statement of changes in equity and separate and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2017 and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU ("IFRS as adopted by EU").

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d. (continued)

Key audit matter

Impairment of the tourism property (separate and consolidated financial statements)

Refer to Notes 2.6. and 2.8. of Accounting Policies, Note 4 (a) of Critical Accounting estimates, and Note 14 on Property, Plant and Equipment of the Financial Statements.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of the Group as at 31 December 2017 was HRK 4,430,006 thousand (Company: HRK 3,687,185 thousand) and it represented approximately 89% and 80% of the total assets of the Group and the Company, respectively. Property, plant and equipment mostly consists of tourism properties and related assets and is included in the statement of financial position at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, where required. Management annually conducts a test to identify assets with impairment indicators.

In order to recognize and determine if there is impairment, management considers discounted cash flows, occupancy rates, number of sold accommodation units, revenue per available room, gross operating profit and other measures. The estimation process is complex and highly subjective and is based on the assumptions.

Due to the above factors and significant impact on the separate and consolidated financial statements, impairment of tourism properties was determined as key audit matter.

How we addressed key audit matter

Our audit procedures related to impairment of property, plant and equipment included, among others:

  • • Assessing the appropriateness of the methodology used for the impairment testing
  • • Testing, on a sample basis, of key management's estimates used to determine if there are impairment indicators;
  • • Review of the relevant Company and Group internal reports and comparison of the projections in the model for individual tourism properties with the historical data including, among other, a comparison of gross operating profit, occupancy rate, average daily rate, revenue per available room, discounted cash flows;
  • • Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in the notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements and their compliance with relevant accounting standards.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 22 February 2017.

Other information included in the Company's and the Group's 2017 Annual Report

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report which includes the Management report and Corporate Governance Statement, other than the separate and consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Other information including the Management report and Corporate Governance Statement.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the Management Report and Corporate Governance Statement, we also performed procedures required by the Accounting Act. Those procedures include considering whether the Management Report includes the disclosures required by Article 21 of the Accounting Act, and whether the Corporate Governance Statement includes the information specified in Article 22 of the Accounting Act.

Based on the procedures undertaken, to the extent we are able to assess it, we report that:

    1. the information given in the enclosed Management report for the 2017 financial year are consistent, in all material respects, with the enclosed separate and consolidated financial statements;
    1. the enclosed Management report for 2017 financial year is prepared in accordance with requirements of Article 21 of the Accounting Act;
    1. Corporate Governance Statement, included in the Company's and the Group's annual report, includes the

information referred to in Article 22., paragraph 1., items 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the Accounting Act; and

  1. elements of Corporate Governance Statement containing the information referred to in Article 22, paragraph 1, items 3 and 4 of the Accounting Act, included in the Company's and the Group's annual report are prepared in accordance with requirements of the Accounting Act and are consistent, in all material respects, with the enclosed separate and consolidated financial statements.

In addition, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the entity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are also required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the Management Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Annual report. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of management and Audit Committee for the separate and consolidated financial statements

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

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and 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 Company and the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's and Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Report to

Valamar Riviera d.d.

the shareholders of

Independent

(continued)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated 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 and consolidated financial statements.

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

  • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and 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 Company's and 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 Company's and 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 separate and 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 Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with Audit Committee 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.

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d. (continued)

We also provide Audit Committee 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 Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In compliance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, we provide the following information in our independent auditor's report, which is required in addition to the requirements of International Standards on Auditing:

Appointment of Auditor and Period of Engagement

We were appointed as the auditors of the Company by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 4 May 2017 and our uninterrupted engagement has lasted for one year.

Consistence with Additional Report to Audit Committee

We confirm that our audit opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements expressed herein is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee of the Company, which we issued on 19 February 2018 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council.

Provision of Non-audit Services

We declare that no prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council were provided by us to the Company and the Group. In addition, there are no other nonaudit services which were provided by us to the Company and its controlled undertakings and which have not been disclosed in the separate and consolidated financial statements.

The partner in charge of the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Berislav Horvat.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2017

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company and Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost method, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available-for sale.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's and Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in the notes.

Financial statements represent unconsolidated and consolidated financial position and results of the Company and the Group, respectively.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights.

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

In the consolidated financial statements inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

(c) Joint ventures

The Group's interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Under this method, an interest in a jointly controlled entity is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the venture's share of net assets of the jointly controlled entity. The profit or loss of the venture includes the venture's share of the profit or loss of the jointly controlled entity. In the Company's separate financial statements interest in joint venture is measured at cost less impairment.

2.2.1 Subsidiaries in separate financial statements

The Company discloses its subsidiaries at cost less impairment (Note Investment in subsidiaries).

2.3 Merger of entities and transactions with companies under common control

Merger of entities from parties under common control are accounted for using book values (carryover basis accounting). Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the entities under common control are transferred at the predecessor entities carrying amounts. Related goodwill inherent in the predecessor entity's original acquisitions are also recorded in these financial statements. Any difference between the carrying amount of net assets, and the consideration paid is accounted for in these financial statements as an adjustment to equity.

2.4 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker is a person or group responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The chief operating decision-makers are the Company and Group Management which are in charge of managing hotel and tourist properties and facilities.

2.5 Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Croatian kuna (HRK), which is the Company's functional and Group's presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances in foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within "finance income/(costs) – net". All other foreign exchange losses and gains are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within "other gains/(losses) – net".

2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is included in the statement of financial position at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, where required. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of replacement of larger items of property, plant and equipment is capitalized, and the carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognized.

Land, arts and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of other items of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Buildings 10-25 years
Plant and equipment 4-10 years
Furniture, tools and horticulture 3-10 years

Depreciation is calculated for each asset until the asset is fully depreciated or to its residual values if significant. The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Company and Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The residual value of an asset is nil if the Company and Group expect to use the asset until the end of its physical life. The operating assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

2.7 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(b) Software

Separately acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 4 years.

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company determines impairment indicators of Property, plant and equipment as identified as separate cash generating units by using multiplicator of GOP and segment carrying net book values, which is determined by comparing individual property segment (identified as separate cash generating units ("CGUs") carrying values with gross operating profit ("GOP").

If the determined ratios and multiples are not in line with expected amounts or targeted levels (at individual cash generating unit level), recoverable amount is based as the higher amount of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

Determination of impairment indicators, determination of the fair value of assets (or group of assets), and estimation of future cash flows which are based on projections of expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and remaining values require significant judgement by management.

Determination of fair value less costs of disposal is based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. The Company and Group are using internal and external valuations.

2.9 Non-current assets classified as held for sale

Non-current assets are classified in the statement of financial position as "Non-current assets held for sale" if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying and fair value, less costs to sell. The assets should be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale should be very likely. Gains and losses on sale of noncurrent assets held for sale are included in the statement of comprehensive income within "other gains/(losses) – net".

2.10 Investment property

Investment property, principally comprising business premises, is held for long-term rental yields or appreciation and is not occupied by the Company and the Group. Investment property is treated as a long-term investment unless it is intended to be sold in the next year and a buyer has been identified in which case it is classified within current assets.

Investment property is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where required. Investments in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives (using depreciation rate of 4%).

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with it will flow to the Company and the Group and the cost can be measured reliably.

All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified to property, plant and equipment and its carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its deemed cost to be subsequently depreciated.

2.11 Financial assets

2.11.1 Classification

The Company and the Group classify their financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Assets in this category are classified as current assets except derivative financial instruments.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.11 Financial assets (continued)

2.11.1 Classification (continued)

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months from the reporting date. Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value.

(d) Repurchase agreements

The Company could enter into sales of investments under agreements to repurchase substantially identical investments at a certain date in the future at a fixed price. Investments sold under repurchase agreements continue to be recognized in the statement of financial position and are measured in accordance with the accounting policy for the relevant financial asset at amortized cost or at fair value as appropriate. The proceeds from the sale of the investments are reported as liabilities to either banks or customers.

The difference in the effective interest rate between the sale and repurchase consideration is recognized on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest expense.

2.11.2 Measurement and recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Company and the Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company and the Group have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within "other (losses)/gains- net" in the period in which they arise. Gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of interest rate swap are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other gains/losses. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of "other income" when the Group's right to receive payment is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in equity (other comprehensive income). When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as "gains and losses from investment securities".

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company and the Group establish fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions and references to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

2.11 Financial assets (continued)

2.11.3 Impairment of financial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortized cost

The Company and the Group assess at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a "loss event") and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company and the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the recoverable amount of receivables which represents Management's best estimate of receivables collection. The amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within other operating expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against "other operating expenses' in the statement of comprehensive income.

(b) Assets classified as available for sale

The Company and the Group assess at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive income – is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income and recognized within "other (losses)/gains-net".

2.12 Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts in foreign currencies and interest rate swaps. Derivative financial instruments are recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value. The fair value is determined according to the market value, if appropriate. All derivatives are recorded in the statement of financial position as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. These derivatives do not classify as hedge accounting and are recognized as derivatives held for trading.

2.13 Leases

The Company and the Group lease certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Company and the Group have substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease's commencement at the lower of fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. In accordance with Law on tourist land, the Company and the Group make so-called advance payments of concession fees and the annual concession fee for tourist land area is reported as expense in the current period.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant interest rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other current and non-current liabilities depending on maturity.

The interest element of the finance costs is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership are not retained by the Company and the Group are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Assets under lease are disclosed in the Statement of financial position in the line "Property, plant and equipment". Assets are depreciated on the straight line basis as for similar assets. Revenue from lease is recognized according to period of the lease.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.14 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Small inventory is written off in full at the moment of commencement of the use (porcelain, glass, metal, kitchen appliances, sports inventory, work clothing and other small items), except of the part of small inventory (linens, sheets and towels) for which the useful life is estimated up to 3 years.

2.15 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.

2.16 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.17 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Where the Company and the Group purchase their equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's and Group's equity holders until the shares are issued or purchased. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's and Group's equity holders.

2.18 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company and the Group have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

2.19 Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.20 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in equity. In that case tax is also recognized in equity.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.20 Current and deferred income tax (continued)

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Investment tax credits

Investment tax credits are incentives arising from government incentive schemes which enable the Company and the Group to reduce their income tax liability or liabilities arising from other specified taxes in future periods, and are linked

to the construction or acquisition of certain assets and / or performance of certain activities and / or fulfilment of certain specific conditions prescribed in the relevant regulation for investment incentives by the relevant authorities. Tax investment credits are recognized as a deferred tax asset and an income tax benefit when criteria for recognition is fulfilled (Note 12) in the amount which the Company and the Group will be able to utilize until the incentive expires. Deferred tax assets recognized as a result of investment tax credits is utilized during the period of the incentive, i.e. until the expiration of the credits (if so specified) in accordance with and subject to the availability of tax obligations in future years against which the credits can be offset.

2.21 Employee benefits

(a) Pension obligations and post-employment benefits

In the normal course of business through salary deductions, the Company and the Group make payments to mandatory pension funds on behalf of their employees as required by law. All contributions made to the mandatory pension funds are recorded as salary expense when incurred. The Company and the Group do not have any other pension scheme and consequently, have no other obligations in respect of employee pensions. In addition, the Company and the Group are not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized when the Company and the Group terminate employment contracts of employees before their normal retirement date in accordance with pension and labour regulations. The Company and the Group recognize termination benefits when they have made an individual decision on the termination of an employment agreement due to business or personal reasons, whereby the liability to pay termination benefits are objectively determined, in accordance with regulations and by-laws.

(c) Short-term employee benefits

The Company and the Group recognize a provision for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. In addition, the Company and the Group recognize a liability for accumulated compensated absences based on unused vacation days at the reporting date and if liability can be reliably estimated.

(d) Long-term employee benefits

The Company and the Group recognize the obligation for long-term employee benefits (severance payments and jubilee awards) evenly over the period in which the benefit is realized, based on the actual number of years of service. The longterm employee benefit obligation includes the assumptions on the number of employees to whom the benefits should be paid, the estimated cost of the benefits and the discount rate.

2.22 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when: the Company and the Group have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.23 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course of Company's and Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax and after eliminating sales within the Group.

The Company and the Group recognize revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable

that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's and Group's activities as described below.

(a) Sales of services

Revenue from hotel and tourist services is recognized in the period the services are provided.

b) Rental of services

Revenue for rental services is generally recognized in the period the services are provided, using a straight-line basis over the terms of contracts with lesser and presented in Statement of comprehensive income within "Revenue".

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Company and the Group reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

(d) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

2.24 Earnings per share

Earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of participating shares outstanding during the reporting year.

2.25 Value added tax

The Tax Authorities require the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases is recognized and disclosed in the statement of financial position on a net basis. Where provision has been made for impairment of receivables, impairment loss is recorded for the gross amount of the debtor, including VAT.

2.26 New and amended standards and interpretations

The following new standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee and adopted by the European Union are effective for the current period:

Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure Initiative

The amendments require entities to provide disclosure of changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). These amendments did not have significant effect on Company's and Group's financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses

The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of deductible temporary difference related to unrealized losses. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. The adoption of this amendments had no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

2.26 New and amended standards and interpretations (continued)

Annual Improvements Cycle - 2014-2016

Amendments to IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Clarification of the scope of disclosure requirements in IFRS 12

The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those in paragraphs B10-B16, apply to an entity's interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate (or a portion of its interest in a joint venture or an associate) that is classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale. The adoption of this amendments had no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

Standards and Interpretations issued by IASB and adopted by the EU but not yet effective

At the date of authorization of these financial statements the following standards, revisions and interpretations adopted by the EU were in issue but not yet effective:

  • • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued in May 2014 including amendment to IFRS 15: issued in April 2016 (effective date to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company and the Group are planning to adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the modified retrospective method. During 2017, the Company and the Group performed a preliminary assessment of IFRS 15 transition effects. The Company and the Group do not expect material effects on profit for the year, assets, liabilities and equity.
  • • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, issued in July 2014 the final version that replaced the IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments project: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required but providing comparative information is not compulsory. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited exceptions. The Company and the Group are planning to adopt the new standard on the required effective date and will not restate comparative information. The Company does not plan to restate comparative information. The Management anticipates that the adoption will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.
  • • IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS

17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees - leases of "low-value" assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognize the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today's accounting under IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases. IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, but not before an entity applies IFRS 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The standard's transition provisions permit certain reliefs.

In 2018, the Company and the Group will continue to assess the potential effect of IFRS 16 on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.26 New and amended standards and interpretations (continued)

Standards and Interpretations issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU

At the date of authorization of these financial statements the following standards, revisions and interpretations were in issue by the International Accounting Standards Board but not yet adopted by the EU:

• IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

IFRS 14 was issued in January 2014 (effective date to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 January 2016). The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard. This standard is not applicable to the Company and the Group.

• IFRS 17 Insurance contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. This standard is not applicable to the Company and the Group.

• Transfers of Investment Property — Amendments to IAS 40

The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to changes in use that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments. An entity should reassess the classification of property held at that date and, if applicable, reclassify property to reflect the conditions that exist at that date. Retrospective application in accordance with IAS 8 is only permitted if it is possible without the use of hindsight. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early application of the amendments is permitted and must be disclosed. The Company and the Group will apply amendments when they become effective. The Management anticipates that the adoption will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

• IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions - Amendments to IFRS 2

The IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment that address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled sharebased payment transaction; the classification of a sharebased payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash settled to equity settled. On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and other criteria are met. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. The Company and the Group are assessing the potential effect of the amendments on their financial statements.

• Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address the conflict between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The amendments clarify that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, between an investor and its associate or joint venture, is recognized in full. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that do not constitute a business, however, is recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture. The IASB has deferred the effective date of these amendments indefinitely, but an entity that early adopts the amendments must apply them prospectively. The Management anticipates that the adoption will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

Standards and Interpretations issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU (continued)

Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle (issued in December 2016)

These improvements include:

  • • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters. The Company and the Group already applies IFRS. Therefore, this amendment is not applicable.
  • • IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Clarification that measuring investees at fair value through profit or loss is an investment-by-investment choice. The Management anticipates that the adoption will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.
  • • Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts - Amendments to IFRS 4. These amendments are not applicable to the Company and the Group.

Standards and Interpretations issued by IASB but not yet adopted by the EU (continued)

• IFRIC Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Interpretation clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Entities may apply the amendments on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply the Interpretation prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognized on or after:

(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation

Or

(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation.

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early application of interpretation is permitted and must be disclosed. However, since the Company's and the Group's current practice is in line with the Interpretation, the Company and the Group do not expect any effect on their financial statements.

• IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Management anticipates that the adoption will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

In their day-to-day business activities, the Company and the Group face a number of financial risks, especially market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company and the Group have a proactive approach in mitigating interest rate and foreign exchange risks, by using available market instruments. Internal risk management goals and policies aim at protecting foreign currency inflows during seasonal activity and partial interest hedging of the principal loan amount.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Company and the Group conduct their business operations across national borders and are exposed to foreign exchange risks. They mainly result from changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

Most of the sales revenue generated from foreign customers and long-term debt is denominated in euros. Hence, for the most part the Company and the Group are naturally hedged from exchange rate risks. Since some liabilities are denominated in HRK, the Company and the Group actively manage risks by using derivative instruments available on the financial market. The instruments are used according to operating assessments and expected market trends. In this way the assets, liabilities and cash flow are protected from the risk impact.

At 31 December 2017, if the EUR had weakened/ strengthened by 1% against the HRK, with all other variables held constant, the net profit of the Group for the year would have been HRK 15,016 thousand (2016: HRK 11,429 thousand) higher/(lower) mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/(losses) on translation of EUR denominated trade receivables, borrowings and foreign cash funds.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Variable rate loans expose the Company and the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Periodically, the Company and the Group use derivative instruments in order to hedge cash flow and interest rate by applying interest rate swaps. The economic effect of such swaps is the conversion of variable interest rate loans into fixed interest rate loans for a precommitted hedged part of the loan principal. The Company and the Group have interest-bearing assets (cash and deposits) so their revenue and cash flow depend on changes in market interest rates. This becomes evident especially during the season when the Company and the Group have significant cash surpluses at their disposal.

At 31 December 2017, if interest rates on currency-denominated borrowings had been higher/lower by 1 percentage point, with all other variables held constant, the profit of the Group for the year would have been HRK 4,197 thousand (2016: HRK 4,419 thousand) higher/(lower), mainly as a result of higher/(lower) interest expense on variable-rate borrowings.

At 31 December 2017, if interest rates on currency-denominated deposits had been 1 percentage point higher/(lower), with all other variables held constant, the profit of the Group for the year would have been HRK 1,368 thousand (2016: HRK 1,227 thousand) higher/(lower), mainly as a result of higher/(lower) interest income on variable rate deposits.

(iii) Price risk

The Company and the Group hold equity and debt securities and are exposed to equity price risk due to price volatility. The Company and the Group are not an active participants in the market trade in terms of trading with equity and debt securities. However, with the HRK 291 million invested in acquiring shares of Imperial d.d., the Company and the Group are exposed to the said risk to a certain extent.

As at 31 December 2017, if the indices of the ZSE had been higher/(lower) by 9.43% for 2017 (which was the average index movement), with all other variables held constant, reserves of the Group within equity and other comprehensive income would have been HRK 273 thousand higher/(lower) as a result of gains/(losses) on equity securities available for sale.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

3.1 Financial risk factors (continued)

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash, time deposits and receivables. According to the Company's and Group's sales policy, business transactions are conducted only with customers with suitable credit history, i.e. by agreeing advances, bank securities and (for individual customers) payments made through major credit card companies. The Company and the Group continuously monitor their exposure towards customers and their credit rating as well as obtains security instruments in order to reduce bad debt risks related to services provided.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Company and the Group have a sound liquidity risk management. Sufficient funds for meeting liabilities are available at any given moment through adequate amounts from contracted credit lines and by ensuring credit line availability in the future. Liquidity risk is managed by generating strong positive net operating cash flows, while capital investments are financed by credit lines. As at 31 December 2017, the Company and the Group don't have contracted unused lines of credit with financial institutions for 2018. The repayment of the major credit lines coincides with periods of strong cash inflows from operations. The Company and the Group monitor the level of available funds through daily cash and debt reports. Long-term cash flow forecasts as well as annual (monthly) forecasts are based on the set budget.

After meeting the requirements of working capital management the surplus is deposited in the treasury. From there the funds are invested in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposits accounts and marketable securities. Only instruments with suitable maturities and sufficient liquidity are selected, according to the forecasted requirements for liquid funds.

3.2 Capital management

The Company's and Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the owner and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company and the Group is the current bid price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company and the Group use a variety of methods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Quoted market prices for similar instruments are used for longterm debt. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company and the Group for similar financial instruments.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources; unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

  • • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
  • • Level 3 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company and the Group make estimates and assumptions about uncertain events, including estimates and assumptions about the future. Such accounting assumptions and estimates are regularly evaluated, and are based on historical experience and other factors such as the expected flow of future events that can be rationally assumed in existing circumstances, but nevertheless necessarily represent sources of estimation uncertainty. These and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

(a) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company determines impairment indicators of Property, plant and equipment as identified as separate cash generating units by using multiplicator of gross operating profit ("GOP") and segment carrying net book values which is determined by comparing property segment carrying values with GOP.

If the determined ratios and multiples are not in line with expected amounts or targeted levels (at individual cash generating unit level) recoverable amount is determined as higher amount of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Furthermore, recoverable amount is determined for newly acquired properties (including those via business combinations). To determine recoverable amount, the Company and the Group use both internal and external valuations.

Determination of impairment indicators, determination of the fair value of assets (or group of assets), and estimation of future cash flows which are based on expected cash flows models, future capital investments, applicable discount rates, useful lives and remaining values require significant judgement by management. Management also considers occupancy rates, revenue per available room, market growth with externally derived data including external hotel industry reports.

Determination of fair value less costs of disposal is based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.

(b) Estimated useful lives

By using a certain asset, the Company and the Group use the economic benefits contained in this asset, which diminish more intensely with economic and technological aging. Consequently, in the process of determining the useful life of an asset, in addition to assessing the expected physical utilization, it is necessary to consider the changes in demand on the tourist market, which will cause a faster economic obsolescence as well as a more intense development of new technologies. Current business operations in the hotel industry impose the need for more frequent investments, and this circumstance contributes to the fact that the useful life of an asset is decreasing.

Based on historical information, and in line with the technical department, the useful life of buildings components was assessed by Management to be 10 to 25 years. The useful lives of equipment and other assets have also been assessed.

The useful life of property, plant and equipment will be periodically revised to reflect any changes in circumstances since the previous assessment. Changes in estimate, if any, will be reflected prospectively in a revised depreciation charge over the remaining, revised useful life.

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)

(c) Land ownership

Due to the transition from public to private ownership, e.g. in the transformation and privatization process and the fact that the properties of the Company that were used in the transformation process were evaluated in the share capital of the Company, and part was not evaluated, there are certain ambiguities and proceedings regarding the ownership of part of the land within the majority of tourist companies. In a clear and undisputed ownership the Company has approximately 1.77 million m2 of land and land which is the object of determining the status of co-ownership or ownership in accordance with the regulations of the Law on Tourist and Other Construction Land not evaluated in the transformation and privatization process, that came into force on 1 August

2010 (hereinafter the Law) is approximately 3.24 million m2. On 31 January 2011 the Company submitted requests for concessions according to the Law in appropriate legal deadline and prescribed content.

Concessions are required: a) for approximately 2.28 million m2 of land in the camps to determine the co-ownership shares of the Republic of Croatia and for which, according to relevant wages regulations, advance concession fee of approximately HRK 5.5 mil. per year; and b) for approximately 960 thousand m2 of land in tourist resorts and hotels that should determine ground plan of hotels, apartments and other estimated buildings and land owned by the Company and other land owned by the local government and for which, according to relevant regulations, is paid advance concession fee of approximately HRK 1.4 mil. per year.

A more detailed description of proceedings and unsolved situations for properties of the Company are disclosed in the Note 33.

(d) Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets represents the amount of income tax recoverable through future deductions from taxable profits and are recognized in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent of tax benefit that is probable to be achieved. While determining future taxable profits and the amount of tax benefits that are likely to be generated in the future, Management of the Company makes judgments and applies estimations based on taxable profits from previous years and expectations of future income that are believed to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. For investments in the Valamar Isabella Resort and destination Rabac from 2014 up to 31 December 2016 the Company has achieved total investment tax credit incentives of HRK 124,708 thousand.

The Company has fulfilled the requirements of preserving the properties and of additional employment, and for the year ended 31 December 2016 has utilized HRK 41,040 thousand of tax incentives and recognized remaining tax incentives of HRK 83,668 thousand as deferred tax asset.

Under the Act on Investment Incentives, the Company was entitled to additional tax incentives for additional investments in destination Rabac realized up to the 18 March 2017 ie until the expiry of the three-year period of the status of the holder of the incentive measures and on that basis received in 2017 additional incentives in the amount of HRK 54,123 thousand. The Company in 2017 utilized HRK 40,859 thousand of tax incentives.

(e) Consolidation

The Group acquired company Imperial d.d. ("Imperial") on 12 December 2016. Assets and liabilities of subsidiary are included in consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016, while the Group's investment in Imperial and subsidiary's capital and reserves have been eliminated. Since the income and expenses of Imperial d.d. in the period from 12 December up to 31 December 2016 were insignificant as explained in Note 37 and due to practicality they were not included in the Group's statement of comprehensive income. There were no intercompany transactions from the control acquisition up to the 31 December 2016.

Legal cases Group – Imperial d.d. acquisition

Legal cases of the Group additionally include land ownership disputes and legal proceedings against the subsidiary for the construction work which was performed in prior years.

Increase in the legal cases provision during 2017 is the result of additional provisions made on the basis of legal advisers estimations regarding the land ownership disputes and outcomes of ongoing legal cases.

Provisions for legal proceedings, from previous years, primarily relate to land sold for construction purposes in Dubrovnik in 1995 with a total surface area of 11,239 m2, which was not included in the share capital of subsidiary Dubrovnik – Babin kuk d.d. during transformation and privatization. A number of buyers were not able to register their ownership title over the stated land, and consequently initiated legal proceedings at the Municipal Court in Dubrovnik with the aim of terminating their sales contract and on the basis of expectation of future payments recorded based on the value of the aforementioned land according to the sales contracts.

NOTE 33 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is plaintiff and defendant in various legal actions. In the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, provisions for certain legal proceedings have been made for which the Company anticipates outflows of HRK 26,932 thousand.

Transformation and privatization audit and ownership over land

A transformation and privatization audit was carried out for the Company during 2002 and 2003, with a separate audit for Riviera Poreč d.d. (formerly Riviera Holding d.d., Riviera Adria d.d., now Valamar Riviera d.d.) and for companies merged into Valamar Riviera d.d.: Rabac d.d., Zlatni Otok d.d. and Dubrovnik Babin kuk d.d. The reports claim that the transformation and privatization process had not been performed entirely in accordance with legal regulations, primarily in relation to properties that are not evaluated in the Company's equity but are owned by the Company and are partly recorded in the land records, as well as properties that are reported in the Company's equity but have not yet been recorded in the land registry. The Company, as well as its legal predecessors, submitted timely objections to the transformation and privatization audit reports to the State Audit Office, but at the date of issue of these financial statements they had not received any response from the State Audit Office with respect to the objection of the Company and/ or the legal predecessors of the Company.

The outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of the Company or the Group.

To protect their interests, the Company is conducting a number of legal and/or administrative procedures which are primarily related to land which was excluded from the valuation in the process of transformation and privatization, but was partially registered by the Company and on a portion of which catering and other facilities have been built or are in function (in the Lanterna and Solaris resorts and the Lanterna, Solaris, Istra, Ježevac, Krk and Škrila camping grounds) as well as procedures in relation to land in Dubrovnik, which was evaluated but not registered, and land which has been sold, but was not evaluated.

The outcome and the result of the legal and other proceedings cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, but a resolution is expected in accordance with the Act on tourist and other construction land not evaluated in transformation and privatization processes, and in relation to land in the area of Dubrovnik, through settlement. On 1 August 2010, the Act on tourist and other construction land not evaluated in transformation and privatization processes ("the ZOTZ") entered into force, on the basis of the provisions of which the ownership and co-ownership over land not evaluated in transformation and privatization processes should finally be determined, and in the spirit of the provisions of which all disputes which are ongoing in relation to unevaluated tourist land, primarily land in the area of Poreč, Rabac and Krk, will be resolved. The Company initiated procedures in accordance with the provisions of the ZOTZ within the prescribed period, through submission of a request on 31 January 2011 for concessions on tourist land in camping grounds and tourist land in tourist resorts, as well as requests for verification of plots/land ground-plan surface area of appraised buildings (hotels, apartments and other appraised buildings) and other prescribed requests. The ownership and/or co-ownership of the Company of the portion of land not evaluated in the transformation and privatization procedures will be determined by the outcome of these procedures. The aforementioned procedures have not been completed yet, however, the Company makes so-called advance payments of concession fees for tourist land to the competent authorities.

The Company is in the process of harmonization and negotiations with the CERP and the Croatian State Prosecution related to land in Dubrovnik.

The outcome of these procedures is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements or results of the Company or the Group.

Capital commitments

Contracted capital commitments of the Company in respect to investments in tourism facilities as at 31 December 2017 amounted to HRK 240,421 thousand (2016: HRK 333,960 thousand).

Contracted capital commitments of the Group in respect to investments in tourism facilities as at 31 December 2017 amounted to HRK 312,021 thousand (2016: HRK 341,260 thousand).

NOTE 37 – BUSINESS COMBINATION IMPERIAL D.D.

The Company acquired 54.71% of shares of Imperial d.d. via sales contract, concluded with the Republic of Croatia, the State Agency for Deposit Insurance and Bank Resolution, the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute and the Restructuring and Sale Center (CERP) and the Agreement on Cooperation concluded with the company Allianz ZB d.o.o. društvo za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondom, a pension fund company from Zagreb which acts in its own name and on behalf of the mandatory pension funds it manages (AZ Obvezni mirovinski fond kategorije A and AZ Obvezni mirovinski fond kategorije B) and upon completion of the public offer for the takeover of Imperial d.d.

Imperial d.d. is consolidated in the financial statements from 31 December 2016, representing 19 days after the date that the Company acquired control via appointments to the Supervisory Board. For the period from 12 December 2016 to 31 December 2016 Imperial d.d. contribution to the Group consolidated income would have been approximately HRK 2,497 thousand and contribution to net result would be a reported loss of HRK 3,535 thousand. Due to impracticalities and restrictions in obtaining access to perform financial procedures on 12 December 2016, given the insignificance of the time period and financial effects, the Group has determined to perform consolidation procedures as at 31 December 2016.

If the acquisition of the subsidiary occurred on 1 January 2016, the Management estimates that consolidated revenue of the Group would amount to HRK 1,673,135 thousand, and Group's consolidated profit to HRK 340,410 thousand. In determining the values specified of acquired assets and liabilities, Management Board assumed that fair value adjustments which arose on the acquisition would have been similar to that had the acquisition be recorded on 12 December 2016 or 1 January 2016.

In 2017 the Company acquired additional Imperial d.d. shares and as at 31 December 2017 the Company held 355,513 shares which represent 55.91% of all shares.

a) Acquisition cost

Acquisition cost was formed based on fair value of consideration transferred in the amount of HRK 284,942 thousand.

b) Other acquisition relating costs

The Company incurred acquisition relating cost of HRK 1,076 thousand on legal fees and due diligence costs. These cost have been included in other operating expenses.

Fair value of property at the acquisition date differs from the carrying values. The fair value of property was determined by value in use which is based on discounted cash flows for individual properties (cash-generating units). For the minor part of land, fair value was based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, and for the minor part of properties the cost approach was used. The fair value of other assets and liabilities at the acquisition date corresponds to the carrying value of these assets. On the day of the balance sheet, the share of non-controlling interests in the equity of the acquired company amounts to 45.29%, according to what is stated non-controlling interest in the amount of HRK 235,842 thousand.

NOTE 38 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Pursuant to CERP's (Sales and Restructuring Center) call for binding bids to buy the company shares of the Makarska-based HOTELI MAKARSKA d.d., on 27 December 2017 the Company submitted a bid to buy a share package consisting of 621,086 shares, with nominal value of HRK 200.00 per share, representing 55.48 % of the share capital of that company. On 12 February 2018 the Restructuring and Sale Center announced that the Company's bid in the amount of HRK 172,662 thousand had been accepted. The agreement covering the purchase and transfer of shares is expected to be concluded in the first quarter. The Company established a cooperation with Allianz ZB d.o.o. društvo za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondom, a pension fund company from Zagreb which acts in its own name and on behalf of the mandatory pension funds it manages (AZ Obvezni mirovinski fond kategorije A, personal identification number (OIB) 15220336427 and AZ Obvezni mirovinski fond kategorije B, personal identification number (OIB) 59318506371) in order to start joint activity regarding the purchase of HOTELI MAKARSKA d.d. shares.

The Assembly of bankruptcy creditors of HELIOS FAROS d.d. u stečaju, a company from Stari Grad, is expected to render its decision regarding the Bankruptcy plan in the first half of 2018. The preparation of the Bankruptcy plan is currently underway, pursuant to the Investment and recapitalization offer for that company. The Company together with PBZ Croatia osiguranje dioničko društvo za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondovima, a mandatory pension fund company from Zagreb (hereinafter: PBZ CO) submitted this offer on 15 May 2017. The Company and PBZ CO have established a cooperation to start their joint activity regarding the investment and recapitalization of HELIOS FAROS d.d. u stečaju.

On 26 January 2018 the Company received the notification of EPIC, Goldscheider und Wurmböck Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H., a company with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plösslgasse, Republic of Austria, regarding the changes in the percentage of voting rights. The change in the percentage of voting rights, i.e. fall below the voting rights threshold, was due to the transfer of shares pursuant to the demerger agreement and status change –demerger of EPIC, Goldscheider und Wurmböck Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H., as demerging company and EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plösslgasse, Republic of Austria, as transferee company.

As evidenced by the received notifications, the shareholder structure of the transferee company is indirectly identical to the shareholder structure of the demerging company. Consequently, no changes occurred in the controlling parties, since the shareholders in EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH are indirectly the same parties and hold the same stakes as the shareholders in EPIC, Goldscheider und Wurmböck Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H.

Pursuant to this, on the same day the Company received the notification of EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH informing on the acquisition of 55,594,884 shares of the Company (44.11% of the share capital), ticker: RIVP, without nominal value that had been acquired through the company demerger.
