The results of these estimates lay at the base of the judgments regarding the accounting valuesof assets and liabilities that cannot be obtained from other information sources. The results obtained may vary from the values of the estimates.

The judgments and hypothesis that lay at their base are periodically revised. The revisions of accounting estimates are recognized in the period the estimates are revised, if the revision only affects that particular period, or in the period the estimate is revised and future periods, if the revision affects both the current and future periods.

Information and reasoning related to the application of accounting policies with the highest degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates, which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in these annual financial statements, are included in the following notes:

Note 18 – Trade receivables

The estimations and assumptions associated to these estimations are based on the historical experience, as well as other factors considered reasonable in the context of these estimations. The results of these estimations and hypotheses form the basis of judgments regarding the accounting values of assets and debts that may not be obtained from other sources of information.

2.DRAFTING GROUNDS (cont.)

f. The impact of the COVID 19 epidemic on the Company's financial position and performance

The epidemic of corona virus ("COVID-19"), which had been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, significantly affected the economic environment, having multiple effects on all industries to a greater or lesser extent.

The business field of the company is production, marketing and sale of machines and equipment for agriculture activity, affected by both the coronavirus pandemic and the extreme drought, which has been one of the worst in the last 50 years, according to not only farmers but also the authorities, with a direct and significant impact on Romania's PIB (see Note 5 - Revenues).

In the context of safety measures, protection of the health of the population and declaration of emergency in Romania since March 16, 2020, the option Mecanica Ceahlau was to implement the business continuity plan and take all necessary measures to prevent and combat effects of infection with the new coronavirus-Covid 19. For this purpose, they used both the company's own resources and the support solutions provided by the Romanian Government (See Note 7 - Expenditures on salaries, social contributions and other benefits).

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected that there will continue to be a degree of uncertainty in the field in which the company operates. The Company's management does not estimate difficulties in honoring commitments to shareholders and obligations to third parties, the availability of present and future liquidity being in line with the limits imposed by regulations and sufficient to cover payments for the next period.

The company's management has as permanent objectives the analysis of the future impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial performance and the taking of adequate measures to reduce the related risks.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies have been consistently applied on all periods presented in the consolidated financial statement drafted by the Company,

a. Transactions in foreign currency

The operations expressed in foreign currency are recorded in lei at the official exchange rate communicated by the National Bank of Romania ("BNR") for the transaction date. Balances in foreign currency are converted in RON at the exchange rates communicated by NBR on December 31, 2020.

Gains and losses arising from the settlement of transactions in a foreign currency and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the income statement as part of the financial result.

Non-monetary assets and debts are expressed in the foreign currency that are assessed at fair value are converted in the functional currency at the exchange rate of the date in which the fair value was determined. The non-monetary elements that are assessed at historical cost in a foreign currency are converted using the exchange rate of the date in which the transaction was made.

a. Transactions in foreign currency (to be continued)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies according to BNR report are:

Currency December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Variation:
Euro (EUR) 1:LEU 4.8694 1:LEU 4.7793 1,89%
American Dollar(USD) 1:LEU 3.9660 1:LEU 4.2608 (6,92%)

b. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalences include: the effective cash, current accounts, deposits at banks and collectable values (cheques and collected bills).

In the elaboration of cash flow statement as of December 31, 2020, respectively December 31, 2019 the Company considered as cash and cash equivalences: effective cash, current accounts at banks, deposits at banks and collected values (checks and cash receipts).

c. Financial assets and financial liabilities

An asset is a resource controlled by the entity as result of past events and from which it is foreseen that future economic benefits will result for the entity.

A liability represents a current obligation of the entity, resulted from past events, whose deduction is expected to determine an exit of resources by incorporating economic benefits from the entity.

(i) Classification of financial assets

According to IFRS 9, the financial assets are classified in one of the following categories:

  • Financial assets evaluated at fair value by the profit and loss account ("FVTPL"):
  • investments in administered funds (fund units);
  • participation interests in subsidiaries and associated entities (equity shares in Transport Ceahlau SRL).
  • Financial assets evaluated at depreciated cost:
  • customer receivables and other receivables.

The company classifies the financial instruments held in the following categories:

Financial assets evaluated at fair value by the profit and loss account ("FVTPL"):

An investment in a security must be evaluated at fair value by the profit and loss account, unless the management makes an irrevocable option, at initial recognition, for measurement at fair value by other elements of the global result.

The financial assets are classified in this category if they are purchased in view of trading.

c. Financial assets and financial liabilities (to be continued)

An asset is held in view of trading if it cumulatively fulfils the following conditions:

  • It is held for sale and redemption in the near future;
  • At initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments identified, which are managed together and for which there are proofs of a real recent pattern of profit follow-up on short term.

This category includes financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and financial instruments designated at fair value by the profit and loss account at the initial recognition and includes investments in administered funds. These assets are mainly purchased to generate profit from shortterm price fluctuations.

Financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss account are recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value.

A gain or loss on these instruments is recognized directly in the profit and loss account.

Receivables

Receivables are non-derivated financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not quoted on an active market.

Receivables include commercial receivables and other receivables. They are mainly composed of customers and similar accounts which include invoices issued at nominal value and estimated receivables for services provided, but invoiced in the period that follows the end of period.

The company holds customers and similar accounts in view of collection of contractual cash flows. Therefore, they are classified as measured at amortised cost.

Final losses may vary from current estimates. Due to the inherent lack of information regarding the financial position of the customers and the lack of legal collection mechanisms, the estimates of probable losses are uncertain. However, the management of the Company has made the best estimate of the loss and considers that this estimate is reasonable in the given circumstances. In the estimation of losses, the Company also took into account the previous experience for a an individual and collective assessment, as presented in Note 3.i.(i). Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount less adjustments for impairment of these receivables (see Note 3.i.(i)).

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount less adjustments for impairment of these receivables (see Note 3.i.(i)).

Financial debts

The Company initially recognizes debt instruments issued and the subordinated debt at the date of the transaction, when the Company becomes part of the contractual debt terms.

An entity must derecognise a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) from the financial position statement when and only when it is liquidated - when the obligation specified in contract is extinguished or cancelled or expires.

These financial debts are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable trading costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial debts are measured at amortized cost.

Debts to suppliers and other debts, initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured using the effective interest method, include the equivalent value of the invoices issued by the suppliers of products, works executed and services rendered.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (to be continued)

c. Financial assets and financial liabilities (to be continued)

(ii) Recognition

The assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a Party to the conditions of that instrument.

(iii) Compensations

The financial assets and liabilities are compensated and the net result is presented in the financial position statement only when there is a legal seting-off right and if there is the intention of their deduction on a net basis or if the Company intends to earn the asset and extinguish the liability simultaneously.

The income and expenses are presented with net values when this is allowe by the accounting standards or for the profit and loss resulted from a group of similar transactions such as those from the trading activity of the Company.

(iv) Measurement at depreciated cost

The depreciated cost of an financial asset or liability represents the value at which the financial asset or liability is measured at the initial recognition, less the principal payments, to which we add or deduct the depreciation cumulated until that time by using the effective interest method less the reductions related to impairment losses.

(v) Measurement at fair value

The fair value is the price which would be received as a result of sale of an asset or the price which would be paid to transfer a liability by a normal transaction between participants on the market at evaluation date (i.e. an exit price).

(vi) Identification and evaluation of impairment

Financial assets evaluated at depreciated cost:

The Company analyses at each reporting date if there is an objective clue by which a financial asset is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if and only if there are objective clues regarding the impairment appeared as a result of one or many events which took place after the initial recognition of the asset ("loss-generating event") and the loss-generating event or events have an impact on the future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets which can be credibly estimated.

(vi) Financial assets evaluated at depreciated cost (to be continued)

If there are objective clues that an impairment loss of financial assets measured at depreciated cost has occurred, then the loss is measured as difference between the book value of asset and the discounted value of future cash flows by using the effective interest rate of financial asset at initial moment.

If a financial asset measured at depreciated cost has a variable interest rate, the discounted rate for evaluation of any impairment loss is the variable current interest rate specified in the contract.

The book value of an asset is reduced by the Company by using a provision account. The impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.

If in the following period an event which took place after the recognition of impairment determines the reduction of impairment loss, the impairment loss recognised previously is carried forward by adjusting the provision account. The reduction of impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

c. Financial assets and financial liabilities (to be continued)

(vii) Derecognition

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to asset-generated cash flows expire or when the rights to receive the contractual cash flows of the financial asset are transferred, through a transaction where the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred significantly.

d. Tangible assets

(i) Recognition and measurement

The tangible assets recognised as assets are initially evaluated at cost by the Company. The cost of a tangible asset is composed of the purchase price, including the non-recoverable taxes, after the deduction of any price discounts of commercial nature to which we add any cost which can be directly attributed to bringing the asset in the location and in the necessary conditions so that it can be used for the purpose desired by the management, such as: expenses with employees which result directly from the building or purchase of the asset, the arrangement costs of site, initial delivery and handling costs, installation and assembling costs, professional fees.

The tangible assets are initially recognised at production cost if they are earned in own management regime.

The values of tangible assets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are detailed in Note 13.

The tangible assets are classified by the Company in the following classes of assets of the same nature and with similar uses:

  • Land;
  • Constructions;
  • Technical installations and vehicles;
  • Furniture, office equipment;
  • Tangible assets under execution.
  • Tangible fixed assets under construction
  • Assets representing usage rights under a lease

The lands and constructions are highlighted at reevaluated value, which represents the fair value at reevaluation date less any depreciation accrued later and any accrued impairment losses.

The fair value is based on market price quotations, adjusted, if applicable, so that they reflect the differences related to nature, location or conditions of that asset.

The reevaluations are made by specialised appraisers, members of ANEVAR. The frequency of reevaluations is dictated by the dynamics of markets to which the lands and buildings owned by the Company belong.

The other categories of tangible assets are highlighted at cost less the accrued depreciation and the provision for impairment.

In the case of revaluation, the difference between fair value and historical cost value is presented in the revaluation reserve. If the result of a revaluation is an increase from net book value, then it is treated as follows:

  • o as an increase in the revaluation reserve if there was no prior decrease recognized as an expense related to that asset; or
  • o as an income to offset the expense previously recognized for that asset.

If the result of a revaluation is a decrease from net book value, then it is treated as follows:

  • o as an expense with the full amount of the impairment, when in the revaluation reserve no amount is recorded regarding that asset (revaluation surplus); or
  • o as a decrease in the revaluation reserve with the minimum of the value of that reserve and the value of the decrease, and any remaining uncovered difference is recorded as an expense.

(ii) Reclassification in Real estate investments

The Company reclassifies property, plant and equipment as real estate investment if and only if there is a change in use, evidenced by:

  • (a) the beginning of the use by the owner for a transfer in the category of Real estate investments in the category of real estate used by the owner;
  • (b) starting the improvement process in the prospect of sale, for a transfer in the category of Real estate investments in the stock category;
  • (c) the end of use by the owner for a transfer from the category of real estate used by the owner in the category of Real estate investments;
  • (d) the start of an operating lease with another party, for a transfer from the stock category to the real estate investment category.

(iii) Subsequent costs

The expenses with maintenance and repairs of tangible assets are recorded by the Company in the global result statement when they appear, and the significant improvements to tangible assets, which increase their value or their life or which significantly increase the capacity to generate economic benefits by them are capitalised.

(iv) Depreciation of tangible assets

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of the main groups of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Asset Years
Constructions 10 - 50
Technical installations and machinery 2 - 28
Other installations, vehicles, machinery and furniture 5 - 15

Assets in progress are not subjected to amortization.

Lands are not subjected to amortization. The land presented in the financial statements has been revalued by the Company in accordance with legal regulations. The information is presented in Note no.13 (i) (revaluation). If the carrying amount of an asset is greater than the amount to be recovered, the asset is impaired to its recoverable amount.

(v) Sale/ scrapping of tangible assets

Tangible assets that are scrapped or sold are eliminated from the balance with the proper accumulated amortization. Any profit or loss resulted from such an operation is included in the current profit or loss account.

e. Intangible assets

(i) Recognition and assessment

The intangible assets which fulfil the recognition criteria from International Financial Reporting Standards are carried at cost less the cumulated depreciation and impairments.

(ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits generated by the asset to which it relates. Expenditure that does not meet these criteria is recognized as an expense when incurred.

(iii) Depreciation of intangible assets

Depreciation is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income based on the linear method over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. Most of the intangible assets registered by the Company are computer programs. They are linearly amortized over a period of no more than 5 years.

f. Real estate investments

Real estate investments is property (land or a building — or part of a building) held by the Company to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

  • use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
    • sale in the ordinary course of business.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

If these portions can be sold separately (or leased out separately), the Company accounts for the portions separately. If the portions cannot be sold separately, the property is treated as Real estate investments only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

(i) Recognition

Real estate investments shall be recognized as an asset when, and only when:

  • it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the Real estate investments will flow to the Company;

  • the cost of the Real estate investments can be measured reliably.

(ii) Measurement

Initial measurement

A real estate investment is initially evaluated at cost, including the trading costs. The cost of a purchased real estate investment is composed of its purchasing price plus any directly attributed expenses (for example, professional fees for provision of legal services, ownership transfer taxes and other trading costs).

The values of tangible assets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are detailed in Note 15.

Subsequent Measurement

The Company's accounting policy on the subsequent measurement of Real estate investments is based on the fair value model. This policy is applied consistently for all Real estate investments. The fair value measurement of Real estate investments is conducted by valuators of the National Association of Romanian Valuators (ANEVAR). Fair value is based on market price quotations adjusted, if applicable, so as to reflect the differences in the nature, location or conditions of the respective asset. Such valuations are periodically revised by the Company's management.

Gains or losses from the change of the fair value of Real estate investments are recognized in the profit or loss corresponding to the period in which they occur.

The fair value of Real estate investments reflects the market conditions as at the balance sheet date.

(iii) Transfers

Transfers to or from Real estate investments are performed when and only when there is a change in the use of the asset.

To transfer an Real estate investments measured at fair value to property, plant and equipment, the implicit cost of the asset for the purpose of its subsequent registration shall be its fair value as at the date when the use is changed.

If a real estate property used by the Company becomes a real estate investment that will be recorded at fair value, the Company applies IAS 16 until the date of change of use. The Company must treat any difference from that date in the carrying amount of real estate in accordance with IAS 16 and its fair value as on a revaluation, in accordance with IAS 16.

(iv) Impairment

The same accounting policies are applied as for property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of an Real estate investments shall be derecognized on disposal or when the investment is definitely withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal.

The gain or loss arising from the disposal or sale of an Real estate investments shall be included in profit or loss when the property is disposed of or sold.

g. Assets held for sale

The Company will classify a fixed asset (or a group of assets) as held for sale if it is probable that it will generate benefits to the Company as a result of its disposal rather than following its continued use.

For this purpose, the asset (or the group of assets) must be available for immediate sale in its current state, and the sale of the asset must be of high degree of certainty.

In order for the sale of the asset to be highly probable, the appropriate management level must have drawn up a plan for the sale of the asset (or group of assets), and an effective program for identifying the buyer, as well as finalizing the sales plan.

Moreover, the asset (or group of assets) must be able to be sold on an active market at a price that is reasonably related to the fair value. In addition, it expects the sale to qualify for recognition as a " complete sale" within 1 year from the date of classification and the actions required to complete the sales plan reflect that it is a little significant changes to the plan are likely to be required or the plan to be withdrawn.

Assets that meet the criteria for being classified as held for sale are measured at the lowest of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

h. Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

The cost of interchangeable inventories is determined using the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) formula.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Costs of finished products and semi-finished products include materials, direct labor, other direct costs and overhead costs related to production (based on operating activity). Net realizable value is the estimated sales price in ordinary transactions. Adjustments for stock impairment are recognized for those inventory that are slow, physically or morally worn. Inventories for which it could not be estimated whether in the immediate period they would be consumed or if those inventory represent safety inventory for certain installations are not subject to adjustment.

i. Impairment

The accounting value of Company's non-financial assets, other than inventory and receivables on the deferred tax, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any evidence of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds the estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the maximum of the amount of use and fair value less costs to sell. In determining the value in use, expected future cash flows are updated to determine the present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and asset specific risks. For impairment testing, assets that cannot be individually tested are grouped into the smallest asset group that generates cash inflows from continuous use and are largely independent of cash inflows generated by other assets or groups of assets ("cash-generating unit").

Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in relation to cash-generating units are used first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the units, if any, and then pro-rata to reduce the carrying amount of other assets within the unit (group of units).

For all fixed assets, except for goodwill, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are measured at each reporting date to determine whether there is evidence that loss has decreased or is no longer present. An impairment loss is restated if there has been any change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is restated only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that could have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment been recognized.

(i) Financial assets (including receivables)

Adjustment for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms.

The establishment of risk adjustments for the non-collection of trade receivables is made by including in the expense the amount of the need for risk adjustments for non-collection of trade receivables related to the invoices in the balance for which there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the amounts owed to it and as a result of applying the Expected Credit Loss model.

Classification: Mecanica`s intention is to hold the receivables to collect the contractual cash flows. Therefore, they are classified as measured at amortised cost.

Measurement: The Company perfoms and individual and collective assessment for the recoverability of the trade and other receivables.

i. Impairment (to be continued)

Individual analysis: The entity peforms indivually analsys of trade and other receivables recoverability based on the litigation status and days past due. For all customers in litigation and days past due over 180 days a risk provision of 90% from the gross value is booked.

Collective analysis: We have analyzed the list of all invoices issued during the years 2017-2020, and also all collections received by the Company during that time period.

We have added (allocated) to each transaction line the additional available details that we will use (such as Country Zone 1-6 of the client, type of customer).

As per the steps of IFRS 9 guideline for calculation of credit loss allowances for trade receivables with use of provision matrix, we have taken the following 4 steps:

  1. The groups of receivables were divided by categories of shared credit risk characteristics.

We have considered the relevant grouping of customers by geographical area in Romania (according to the map in the worksheet "Map of Romania 's Areas). Further, we have grouped customers by their type (i.e. Final Customer, Lessor, or Distributor).

Through these groupings, the credit risk characteristics of customers will be more uniform within the determined categories for a more accurate calculation of expected future credit losses.

  1. We have determined the period over which observed historical rate losses are appropriate.

There is no specific guidance in IFRS 9 on how far back the historical data should be evaluated. We have considered a period of the 3 previous years as relevant and reliable for the basis on which to observe the historical rate losses of the Company.

  1. We have determined the historical loss rates.

We have calculated the total yearly credit sales of the Company for each of the analysed years. We have also calculated the collections for the sales of each year, and we have calculated the delay with which these were collected.

We have split the collections in time categories - collected when Not Overdue (without delay), collected with delay of 1-30 days, collected with delay of 31-60 days, collected with delay of 61-90 days, collected with 90+ days delay.

Then, there are amounts remaining as not collected at all from the credit sales of these years - these are the historical credit losses.

We have applied the calculation process to each timeband . The historical loss rate for each timeband reflects the percentage of sales that reached at least the designated timeband that were never collected.

  1. Forward looking macro-economic factors to adjust historical loss ratios for expected credit loss

The Company analysed the impact from PIB up to 2021, taking in consideration 3 scenarios for the evolution: pessimistic , baseline and optimistic.

The Company derecognizes a write-down of receivables previously constituted at the time of recovery wholly or in proportion to the amount recovered.

The determination of the amount of the adjustment for impairment of the trade receivables to be established is based on the estimates made in collaboration with the Law Office and on the basis of the policies mentioned under (i).

i. Impairment (to be continued)

(ii) Non-financial assets

Tangible assets and other long-term assets are reviewed to identify impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount can no longer be recovered.

Impairment losses on non-financial assets are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

j. Employee benefits

(i) Determined contribution plans

The Company makes payments on behalf of its own employees to the Romanian state pension system, social insurances and unemployment fund, in the normal course of activity.

All employees of the Company are members and at the same time they have the legal obligation to contribute (through social contributions) to the Romanian state's pension system (a determined contribution plan of the state). All such contributions are recognized in the profit or loss account of the period when theyare made. The Company has no other additional obligations.

The Company is not engaged in any independent pension scheme and accordingly it has no other obligations. The Company is not involved in any retirement benefits scheme. The Company has no obligation to deliver ulterior services to the former or current employees.

Also, according to the Collective Labor Agreement, when fulfilling the legal conditions for retirement, respectively for uninterrupted seniority in the Company, employees are entitled to receive a reward.

(ii) Short-term benefits

The obligations with short-term benefits given to employees are not discounted and are recognised in the global result statement as the related service is delivered.

The short-term benefits of employees mainly include wages and bonuses. The short-term benefits of employees and contributions to social insurances are recognised in the financial statements of the Company when the services are delivered. The Company recognises a provision for the amounts that are expected to be paid with title of bonuses in cash on short term if the Company has now a legal or implicit obligation to pay those amounts as result of past services delivered by employees and if that given obligation can be credibly estimated.

(iii) Benefits for termination of employment contracts

The company grants the following benefits to employees in the event of termination of the employment contract as a result of retirement, as follows:

o Employees retiring for old age, disability, partially early or early will receive an end-of-career reward as follows:

  • those with seniority in the Company of over 15 years, two average basic salaries negotiated on the company;

  • those with seniority in the Company between 5 and 15 years, one basic average salary negotiated on the company;

o Employees retiring as a result of an accident or an event related to work and who have a seniority in the company of between 0 and 5 years will benefit from a basic salary negotiated on the company.

k. Provisions for risks and expenses

Provisions are recognized in the financial position statement when a liability is created for the Company connected to a past event and it is probable that in the future it will be necessary to spend some economic resources that extinguish this liability and a reasonable estimation of the liability value can be made.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (to be continued)

Provisions for restructuring, litigation, and other provisions for risks and expenses are recognized when the Company has a legal or implicit obligation arising from a previous event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when a credible estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Restructuring provisions include the direct costs generated by the restructuring, i.e. those that are necessarily generated by the restructuring process and are not related to the continuous development of the company's business.

(i) Guarantees

Provisions for guarantees to customers are estimated by the Company based on the cost of repairs during the warranty period against the value of turnover in the previous financial year.

(ii) Employee benefits

The Company sets up provisions for the benefits of employees granted upon termination of the employment contract with retirement. Determination of the amount of the provision to be set up shall be made taking into account the provisions of the collective labor agreement of the Company valid at the date of provisioning.

(iii) Disputes

The Company sets up provisions for litigation if there is a legal or implicit obligation arising from a litigation in progress. Determining the amount of the provision to be established is based on the estimates made by the law firm.

(iv) Other provisions

The Company makes any other provision when the Company has a legal or implicit obligation arising from a previous event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when a credible estimate can be made as to the amount of the obligation.

Provisions for future operating losses are not recognized.

l. Revenues recognition

Revenues from customer's agreements / from agreements with customers

The Company recognizes the revenues from customer's agreements when (or as long as) it fulfills an enforcement obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as long as) the customer obtains control over that asset.

The company analyzed the main types of revenues applying the 5 steps method of IFRS 15:

  • Step 1: Identify the contracts with the clients;
  • Step 2: Identify the obligations resulting from these contracts;
  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
  • Step 4: Allocation of the transaction price to the obligations to be fulfilled;
  • Step 5: Revenue recognition upon completion / as the fulfillment of contractual obligations.

The table below provides information about the nature and timing of the enforcement obligation, including significant payment terms for the main revenue categories from the customer agreements:

m. Governmental subsidies

The subsidies from the government for the procurement of assets are recognized as deferred income and is allocated as a systematic and ration income the entire life of the asset.

n. Suppliers and similar accounts

Debts to suppliers and other debts, registered initially as fair value and then assessed using the method of effective interest rate, include the counter-value of the invoices issued by suppliers of products, performed works and provided services.

o. Income and expenses from interests

The income and expenses with interest are recognized in the status of global result through the effective interest method. The effective interest rate represents that rate which accurately updates the payments and cash collections forecast for the expected life span of the financial asset or liability (or, where the case be, for a shorter period of time) to the accounting value of the financial asset or liability.

p. Revenue and loss from exchage rate differences

Currency transactions are entered in the functional currency (leu) through the conversion of the amount in currency to the official exchange rate notified by Romania's National Bank valid on the transaction date.

On the reporting date, the monetary elements expressed in currency are converted using the closing exchange rate.

Rate differences that occur on the offset of the monetary elements or conversion of monetary elements at rates different from those they were converted in at their initial recognition (over the period), or in the prior financial statements, are recognized as loss or income in the profit or loss account, in the period when they occur.

q. Leasing Contracts as Lessee

(i) Initial Recognition and Evaluation

On the date a contract is initiated, the Company evaluates whether that contract is, or includes a leasing contract. A contract is or contains a leasing contract if this contract awards the right to control the use of an asset identified for a certain periodof time, in exchange for a consideration.

On the date the contracts starts to run, the Company, as lessee, recognizes an asset corresponding to the use right and a debt that stems from the leasing contract.

(ii) Initial evaluation of the asset corresponding to the use right

On the date the contract starts running, the Company, as a lessee evaluates at cost the asset corresponding to the use right.

(iii) Initial evaluation of the debt stemming from the leasing contract

On the running start date, the Company, as lessee evaluates the debt stemming from the leasing contract to the updated value of the leasing payments that are not paid at that date. Leasing payments are updated using the implicit interest rate if that rate can be immediately determined. If this rate cannot be immediately determined, the Company uses its marginal loan rate.

The marginal loan rate of the Company is the interest rate that the Company should pay for a loan on a similarperiod, with a similarguarantee, the funds necessary to obtain an asset with a similarvalue with that corresponding to the use right in a similar economic environment.

q. Leasing Contracts as Lessee (to be continued)

(iv) Ulterior evaluation of the asset corresponding to the use right

Following the running start date, the Company, as a lessee evaluates the asset corresponding to the use right using the cost-based model, that is, it evaluates the asset related to the right to use at cost, minus any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(v) Ulterior evaluation of the debt stemming from the leasing contract

Following the running start date, the Company, as lessee evaluates the debt stemming from the leasing contract by increasing the accounting value to reflect the interest associated with the debt stemming from the leasing contract and reducing the accounting value to reflect the leasing payments made reflecting, if necessary, any changes in the lease contract.

The interest corresponding from the debt in a leasing contract for each period during the contract must be the value that produces a constant periodical rate of interest for the balance of the debt stemming from the leasing contract.

Following the running start date, the interest on the debt stemming from the leasing contract is reflected in profit or loss.

(vi) Exemptions from recognition

The company, as a lessee, chooses to apply the derogations allowed by IFRS 16:

  • o short-term leasing contracts; and
  • o leasing contracts for which the support asset has a small value.

Consequently, in case of short-term leasing contracts and in case of leases contracts where the support asset has a small value, the Company recognizes the leasing payments associated with these leasing contracts as an expense, using a linear basis for the entire duration of the leasing contract.

r. Contingents

Contingent debts are not recognized in the enclosed financial statements. These are presented if there exists the possibility of an outcome as resources that represent possible economic benefits, but not probable ones, and/or the value may be estimated in a credible way. A contingent asset is not recognized in the enclosed financial statements, but it is presented when an entry of economic benefits is probable.

s. Profit tax

The profit tax on December 31, 2020 includes current and deferred tax.

Current tax represents the tax that is to be paid or received for the taxable income or loss achieved during the year, using taxation percentages adopted or largely adopted on the reporting date, as well as any adjustment to the payment obligations of the profit tax associated to the previous years. The current tax to be paid includes also any fiscal receivable that arises from declaring dividends.

Deferred tax is recognized considering the temporary differences between the accounting value of the assets and debts used with the purpose of the financial reporting and the fiscal base used for the calculation of the tax. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences:

  • initial recognition of the assets or debts arised in a transaction that is not a combination of undertaking and which do not affect the accounting or fiscal profit or loss;
  • Differences between the investments in jointly controlled branches or entities, to the extent in which is probable that these are not to be reassessed in the future; and
  • Taxable temporary differences resulted from the initial recognition of the trade fund.

Receivables and debts with deferred tax are compensated only if there exists the legal right to compensate debts and receivables with the current tax, and if these refer to the taxes asked by the same fiscal authority to the same entity, or a different taxable entity, but which intends to conclude a convention on the receivables and debts with the current tax on a net base or whose assets and debts from taxation are to be achieved simultaneously.

A receivable on the deferred tax is recognized for not-used fiscal losses, fiscal credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent in which the achievement of taxable profits is probable, that will be available in the future and that will be used. Receivables on deferred tax are reviewed at each reporting date and are diminished to the extent in which it is not probable that a fiscal benefit will be achieved. The effect of the changes of fiscal rates on the deferred tax is recognized in the Statement of the global results, except the case in which it refers to the positions previously recognized directly in the own equities.

Profit tax is recognized in the financial statement of the global result or in other elements of the global result if the tax is associated to capital elements.

s. Profit tax (to be continued)

Current tax is the tax paid associated to the profit achieved in the current period, determined based on percentages applied in the date of the reporting and all the adjustments associated to the previous periods.

The current profit tax rate in Romania is of 16%.

The deferred tax is calculated based on the taxation percentages that are to be applied to the temporary differences when resuming them, based on the legislation in force at the reporting date.

t. RESULT PER SHARE

The Company presents the result per basic share for ordinary shares. The result per basic share is determined by dividing the profit or loss assignable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of ordinary shares related to reporting period.

u. Share Capital

Ordinary shares are recognized in the share capital. The Company recognizes the changes in the share capital in the conditions stipulated by the legislation in force and only after their approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders and registration with the Trade Register. Incremental costs directly assignable to an issue of ordinary shares are deducted from capital, net of taxation effects.

v. Dividends

Dividends are handled as a distribution of profit in the period when they have been declared and approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

w. Prescribed dividends

Dividends to pay not collected within 3 years from their declaration date become outdated according to the law. The prescribed dividends represent transactions with shareholders and are recognised in equity, in the reported result.

x. Principle of business continuity

  • lower levels of employment rates - lower by 5%;

  • taking into account the specific local conditions and the market value of rents for comparable real estate as well as the risks related to such activity, a discount rate of 12% by 2% higher was considered, despite the lower inflation prospects, in order to reflects greater uncertainty about cash flows.
