Report of Board of Directors of S.I.F. Oltenia S.A. on Consolidated Financial Statements ended on 31.12.2015

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Consolidated financial statements on 31.12.2015 have been prepared in accordance with Rule no. 39/2015 for the approval of accounting regulations compliant with international financial reporting standards, applicable to authorized entities, settled and supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority in the Sector of Financial Instruments and Investments.

In accordance with RNSC Decision no. 1176/15.09.2010, the Company shall prepare and submit to FSA Annual Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, within 8 months from the closing of the financial year.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group). The Group's core activities are the financial investment activities undertaken by the Company and the activities of subsidiaries, belonging to different sectors as: food, trade, tourism, rental of premises, etc.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements since the start of controlling and until its termination. Accounting policies of Group's subsidiaries have been changed to align with those of the Group.

In addition to the specific consolidation adjustments, the main restatement of the financial information presented in financial statements prepared in accordance with RCR (Romanian Accounting Regulations) to align them to the requirements of IFRS as adopted by the European Union, consist of:

  • $\triangleright$ group multiple items into more comprehensive categories;
  • $\triangleright$ fair value adjustments and for impairment of financial assets under IAS 39 "Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement";
  • $\triangleright$ adjustments of assets and equity in accordance with IAS 29 "Financial" reporting in hyperinflationary economies" because the Romanian economy was a hyperinflationary economy until 31 December 2003;
  • $\triangleright$ adjustments in profit or loss account to record dividend income at the moment of declaration and gross value;
  • $\triangleright$ adjustments of investment properties to assess their fair value in accordance with IAS 40 "Investment Property";
  • $\triangleright$ adjustments for recognition of liabilities and debts on deferred tax under IAS 12 "Income Taxes":
  • $\triangleright$ disclosure requirements under IFRS.

The Group has adopted a presentation based on liquidity in the consolidated statement of financial position, and presentation of income and expenses was made in respect of their nature in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and of other elements of comprehensive income, considering that these methods of presentation provide information that is reliable and more relevant than other methods allowed by IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements".

It was used the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company and its portfolio companies in the foreseeable future will be able to have sufficient assets to continue operations and meet obligations during operational activity.

The financial statements are prepared using the fair value for: derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss account and financial assets available for sale, except those for which fair value cannot be determined reliably.

Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortized cost, revalued amount or historical cost.

Group uses the following hierarchy of methods:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities:

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices);

  • Level 3: valuation techniques largely based on non observable elements. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes items that are not based on observable data and for which unobservable input parameters can have a significant effect on the instrument assessment. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments but which are subject to adjustments based largely on unobservable data or estimates to reflect the difference between the two instruments.

Fair value measurement of shareholdings on 31.12.2015 was performed as follows:

$\triangleright$ for securities listed and traded in 2015, the market value was determined by taking into consideration the quotation on the last trading day (the closing quotation of the main market of capital for level 1, and for level 2 the

quotations for shares traded in the last 30 trading days were taken into consideration);

  • $\triangleright$ for securities listed that had no transactions in the last 30 trading days of 2015, and for unlisted securities, the market value was determined based on equity of issuers;
  • for related securities of companies in the insolvency proceedings or reorganization, valuation is zero;

  • $\triangleright$ for units in UCITS, the value taken into account was the last net asset value, calculated and published.

III. EVALUATING THE COMPANY'S

$\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}$ , $\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}$

BUSINESS ON RISK MANAGEMENT

The group, with its complexity business carried out, is subject to various risks.

Risk management is an integral part of all decision-making and business processes within the Group.

Group Management continuously evaluates the risks that may affect the achievement of its objectives and takes appropriate action on any change in operating conditions.

The Group's management pays particular attention to risk identification. Exposure to risks inherent in its business by daily operations and transactions (especially operations on the stock market) is identified and aggregated through risk management infrastructure implemented: audit committee, internal auditor, internal control, operational monitoring, hierarchical levels of authorization and transaction validation. Risk Monitoring is performed on each hierarchical level, with approval and supervisory procedures of decision-making and trading limits.

Internal reporting of risk exposure is continuously done on business lines; management is kept informed about the risks inherent in conducting business.

The main risk factors identified by the Group are:

a) Economic environment risk

b) Operational risk

c) Market risk (price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk)

d) Credit risk

e) Liquidity risk

$f$ ) Tax risk

The Group has implemented policies to assess risks posed, policies approved by the Board of Directors.

a) Economic environment risk

This risk is extremely important, by the direct effect on the Group's business and indirectly through companies in which the Group holds interests.

Romanian economy continues to exhibit the specific characteristics of emerging economies, and there is a significant degree of uncertainty regarding the development of the political, economic and social environment.

From the Romanian economy point of view, 2015 was a good year, the growth registered by GDP being of 3.7%, higher to the forecast level.

Romanian economy is still fragile and dependent in particular of developments of the other economies, especially of the EU countries, which are the main business partners for our country.

The risks that the EU economy faces (for instance, Great Britain exit of the EU), as well as a more accentuated uncertainty of the growing rhythm of the Chinese economy – which may affect global economy – are permanently monitored by the management, in order to anticipate the effects on the portfolio managed.

2016 will be a difficult year, with high risks due to international economic evolutions and especially the political ones.

b) Operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of registering certain losses or of not accomplishing the estimated profits due to internal factors, like inadequate development of internal activities, the existence of inadequate personnel or systems, or due to external factors, like the change of economic conditions, legislative changes on the capital market, social-political events.

The main responsibility of developing and implementing controls connected to operational risk accrues to the company management. The responsibility is supported by the development of the general company standards for managing the operational risk on the following areas:

  • demands to separate responsibility;

  • alignment to the demands of the regulation frame;

  • demands to report operational losses and proposals for their remedy;

  • professional development and instruction;

  • establishing ethic standards;

  • documenting controls and procedures;

  • preventing litigations risk.

Operational risks are inherent to the company activity.

The Group manages operational risk by the identification, estimation, monitoring and risks control.

It should be underlined that, in managing operational risk, not the models and techniques are the most important, but the attitude towards risk, which is formed in time and is an aspect of organizational culture.

c) Market risk

Market risk represents the actual or future risk of negative affectation of profits, determined by the fluctuations on the market of prices of securities – regarding the activities belonging to the trading portfolio $-$ of the interest rate, as well as the fluctuations of the exchange rate for the entire activity of the Group.

The efficient management of market risk is made through the use of fundamental analysis that gives an indication of the soundness of an investment as well as estimating potential of certain companies, and taking into account forecasts on the evolution of economic sectors and financial markets.

The main issues pursued in market risk analysis are: assessment of shares portfolio in terms of profitability and growth potential, strategic allocation of long term investments, identification of short-term investments in order to capitalize price fluctuations in the stock market, the establishment of asset concentration limits in a particular economic sector.

The Group is subject to fair value risk of financial instruments held which fluctuates as a result of changes in market prices.

Price risk

The market value of the portfolio of listed shares (on BVB – settled market, BVB-AERO, SIBEX), on 31.12.2015, represents 63.92% (2014: 68.69%) of the total value of shares portfolio managed.

In these conditions, the Group has a medium risk $-$ associated with price movements of financial assets in the stock market.

In the managed portfolio a number of 8 issuers can be found, of the 10 that constitute the BET index of Bucharest Stock Exchange.

Market value of the holdings in those 8 issuers, represents on 31.12.2015 81.49% (2014: 76.88%) of the market value of shares held in listed companies.

The Management of the Group monitors market risk and grants powers regarding trading limits on the capital market to the effective management of the company.

Placements held in companies whose securities are listed and traded on the stock market in Romania, plus placement owned in Romanian Commercial Bank represent on $31,12,2015$ - $91.84\%$ (2014: $92.24\%$ ) of the fair value of investments.

On 31.12.2015 the Group mainly held shares activating in the finance, banks, insurance field accounting for 52.79% of the total portfolio, up from 31.12.2014, when the same activity sector recorded a share of 43.87%.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a portfolio may be negatively affected as a result of variations in exchange rates.

Since the majority of the Group's assets are denominated in the national currency exchange rate fluctuations do not directly affect the Group's activity.

These fluctuations have influence in the case of assessing investments of the type of deposits in foreign currency.

Currency available holdings represent, on 31.12.2015, 1.26% of total financial assets, so that the currency risk is insignificant.

Due to the low share of assets expressed in foreign currency, the Group does not have a formalized policy of covering foreign currency risk.

Investments in bank deposits in foreign currency are constantly monitored and action is taken for investment, disinvestment, depending on the forecast evolution of the exchange rate.

Focusing of assets and liabilities on the types of currency is summarized in the table below:

Interest risk rate

Interest rate risk is that the value of a portfolio will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Factors that define this type of market risk are a wide range of interest rates corresponding to a change in markets, currencies and maturities for which the Group holds positions.

The interest rate directly influences revenues and expenses attached to financial assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates.

Most of the assets in the portfolio are not interest bearing. Consequently the Group is not significantly affected by interest rate risk. The interest rates applied to cash and cash equivalents are short-term.

In order to benefit from interests volatility, for a greater flexibility in the policy for assigning money reserves, it will be pursued that the investment of money reserves in monetary instruments be especially made on short term, of 1-3 months.

d) Credit risk

The credit risk represents the Group's risk of recording losses as a consequence of insolvability of its debtors.

For the Group, the credit risk is mostly determined by exposures on asset elements of the type of "shares" representing 79.85% of the assets managed, evaluated under legal provisions.

Credit risk evaluation is made in two stages, both before the accomplishment of investments operations and after the approval and effective accomplishment of operations, supervising the assets evolution in order to take adequate measures in case of emergence of elements that may lead to damaging the companies economic activity and, in extreme cases, to their entering in insolvency.

In accordance with legal provisions, the Group has not granted any type of loans or guarantees to third parties.

The credit risk may affect indirectly the Company activity, being the case of commercial companies of the portfolio, which face financial difficulties in paying their obligations corresponding to dividends.

The Group may be exposed to credit risk through investments realized in bonds, of current accounts, bank deposits as well as other receivables.

On 31st December 2015 the Group did not hold in portfolio bonds, real guarantees as insurance and did not record outstanding financial assets.

All buying - selling of shares transactions of the company are made through storage bank with which there was a custody - storage agreement under the law, so the risk of default of settlement obligations is minimal.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at 31st December 2015 is of 79,921,808 lei.

$e)$ Liquidity risk

Liquidity is the capacity of the Group to assure its necessary funds in order to fulfil all its direct or indirect payment obligations, at a reasonable price, at any time.

Liquidity risk is the actual or potential risk to which the corporate profits could be subject to from its inability to meet payment obligations when due.

Liquidity risk can arise from:

  • $\triangleright$ Inability to manage unplanned decreases in volume or significant changes in the structure of funding resources;
  • $\triangleright$ The Group's inability to recognize changes in market conditions that may affect the ability to liquidate certain assets in very short time and with minimum loss of value.

The Group pursues to maintain a liquidity level adequate to its support obligations, based on an assessment of relative liquidity of assets on the market, taking into account the period necessary for liquidation and the price or value at which the respective assets can be liquidated, as well as their sensitivity to market risks or other external factors.

The Group must hold liquid assets, whose added value should cover the difference between outputs of liquidities and inputs of liquidities in crisis situations, so as to be ensured the fact that the Group maintains levels of liquidity reserves that are adequate to allow it to face possible imbalances between liquidities inputs and outputs in crisis situations.

The liquidity risk is especially linked to holdings in commercial companies of "closed" type existing in the managed portfolio. Thus, the sale of some holdings – in case of apparition of negative aspects in their economic-financial situation or in case it is pursued to obtain liquidities $-$ is especially difficult, existing the risk of not being possible to obtain a higher or at least equal price to that of holdings evaluation in the calculation of net asset, according to F.S.A. regulations.

At the same time, the low liquidity of the capital market of Romania makes often difficult even trading holdings in commercial companies listed.

Looking ahead to 2016, we anticipate the maintaining of a low liquidity level for the capital market, following uncertainties connected to Euro zone.

The structure of assets and liabilities in terms of liquidity is analyzed in the following table:

Payment dividends 81,787,050 81,787,050

f) Taxation risk

Starting with the date of Romania's accession to the European Union, the Group had to obey EU fiscal regulations and implement the changes brought by European legislation. The way the Group implemented these changes remains open to tax audits for five years.

The Group's management believes that it correctly interpreted the legislative provisions and recorded fair values for taxes, fees and other debts to the state but in these conditions, too, there is some risk attached.

The tax system in Romania is subject to various interpretations and permanent changes. In some cases, the tax authorities may adopt different interpretations toward the group of some fiscal issues and can calculate interests and penalties.

Statements regarding taxes and duties may be subject to control and revision for a five years' period, in general after their submission.

Romanian Government has a significant number of agencies authorized to audit companies operating on the territory of Romania. These controls are similar to tax audits in other countries and can cover not only fiscal issues, but also other legal and regulatory issues of interest to these agencies. It is possible that the Group will be subject to tax audits as the issue of new fiscal regulations occurs.
