M. MARKETING

For foreign market, the sales of TMB continued in 2018 to be represented mainly by components and subparts for aircraft engines, programs which continued to grow/develop compared to the previous years due to the company's commercial policy and marketing strategy, the Company continuing to sell components for gas turbines.

The company's marketing strategy for 2018 focused on strategic objectives which aimed at:

  • further reaffirming the company's image domestically and internationally, and
  • gaining its market stability,
  • contacting the large industry corporations (especially in the field of "ENERGY components for gas turbines"), but also their suppliers ("Tier 1") known internationally – in order to take part in subcontracting programmes for high aviation corporations as sub-supplier of components for mechanical processing ("Tier 2");
  • Identifying and attracting new clients for mechanical processing and business resumption with currently inactive traditional customers (RR, MTU Germany) to provide about 25% of the 2019 turnover.

In support of the above, in 2018, TMB participated with its own stand in a series of national and international events of the airspace industry, among which:

ILA BERLIN 2018 international fair of suppliers in the aeronautics industry, which took place during 25 - 27 April 2018.

During the 3 days of the exhibition, business meetings were held with prestigious companies in the field, such as: AEROTECH PEISSENBERG-GERMANY, a company that expressed interest in working with TURBOMECANICA and visiting the factory and BET SHEMESH ENGINES LTD (BSEL) / Israel, a company interested in long-term cooperation for the delivery of aviation components (rotors, loudspeakers, etc.), has already been awarded awards for aviation programs by the end of 2018. ). TURBOMECANICA also had the honor to welcome Mr. Stefan Oprea, Trade Minister, accompanied by a delegation from the Romanian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Berlin. During these meetings the company's capabilities were presented, analyzing the opportunities and identifying the possible cooperation segments, TURBOMECANICA thus consolidating the bases for expanding its collaborations at international level.

• between 16 and 22 July 2018, the 51st edition of FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW, which brought together 1,482 exhibitors; Thus, during the 7 days of the exhibition, business meetings took place with the representatives of the companies: LIEBHERR AEROSPACE-GERMANY, MTU AERO ENGINEES AG-GERMANY, SAFRAN GROUP-FRANCE LEONARDO HELICOPTERS-ITALY, MB AEROSPACE-POLAND, MECACHROME- others. TURBOMECANICA also hosted meetings with various suppliers, including LEISTRITZ TURBINENTECHNIK-CANADA, SETFORGE-FRANCE, WUYI TURBINE BLADE-CHINA, GRUPO INMAPA-SPAIN, BLADES & TOOLS-INDIA and others.

The aim of these meetings was to identify and initiate new business opportunities in the field of mechanical processing & special processes that allow optimal capitalization of currently available production capacities and current company resources.

• Between 20 and 22 November 2018, the 13th edition of the AIRTEC 2018 Aerospace Suppliers International Fair, which was held in Munich, Germany.

During the 3-day exhibition, the TURBOMECANICA team had a series of B2B meetings with potential clients / suppliers, including: KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES-JAPAN, THALES ALENIA SPACE-ITALY, DAVI-PROMAU ITALY, GWD TECHNOLOGIEZENTRUM-GERMANY, PRP-ITALIA, POLYMIM-GERMANY, LATECORE INTERCONNECTION SYSTEMS-HAMBURG, MARLETTI-ITALY, TURBOCAST-INDIA, TAKUMI PRECISION ENGINEERING – IRLELAND, other companies.

We appreciate that the presence of TURBOMECANICA at these international events in 2018 represented an important opportunity that was successfully used for the development of partnership relations with internationally renowned companies, an opportunity materialised through the entry of TMB by the end of 2018 in competitive bidding processes followed by audit as a potential supplier to MTU Germany, Witzenmann Germany and Rolls-Royce. We estimate that in the first part of 2019 we would initiate cooperation programs with these companies that would allow the successful achievement of the strategic objectives targeted by TMB for this year.

Domestically, in order to attract the human resources necessary to successfully meet its strategic objectives, the participation of TURBOMECANICA between 22 and 23 March 2018 in the CNC Technologies International Conference and Exhibition, 12 th edition, organized by the Polytechnics University in Bucharest, along with prestigious companies, university professors, teachers from technically vocational high schools, researchers and specialists of research institutes, students passionate about such technologies and equipment.

The TMB lecture was preceded by a presentation by DDCO / HR: "Turbomecanica - Top Employer", a concrete opportunity to hire and train young university graduates.

In the same way, during 23-24 April 2018 the 9th edition of AEOCONSULT took place, a large event organized annually by the EUROAVIA Students Association in collaboration with the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, in which TURBOMECANICA participated as Gold Sponsor.

By participating in AEROCONSULT 2018, we were able to directly inform and present in detail the programs for students, as well as the available jobs and the opportunities they offer. The representation team provided details on how to conduct internships, information on the departments where the programs are running, the benefits and opportunities for students. The event was also a good opportunity to promote the company, which also provided detailed information through the promotional materials presented at the stand (roll-ups, flyers, brochures, etc.).

The results were soon noticeable:

  • TMB further maintained, with responsibility and dedication, the national flying capabilities for PUMA IAR-330 helicopters and IAR 99/ SOIM test planes owned by the Ministry of National Defence (SMFA, SMFN) and the National Intelligence Office (total turnover – domestic aviation: EUR 22,606,828.13).
  • TMB managed to maintain in 2018 a high place in the supply chain of world-wide renowned producers of engines and mechanical aviation parts (LEONARDO HELICOPTERS Italy – 2018 turnover: EUR 1,018,474.03), especially in the ENERGY field: GE Power & Water–Hungary and China (2018 turnover: EUR 448,013.25) along with other historical partners (PZL SWIDNIK Poland, HONDA AERO SUA, AVIALL USA, AVIO ITALY, UNISON POLAND and others.
  • In addition to the partners mentioned, already historical, the Company developed programs by attracting new clients: WITZERMANN-GERMANIA, ROLLS ROYCE-GERMANIA. AEROTECH PEISSENBERG-GERMANIA, MTU FRIEDRICHSHAFEN-GERMANIA, SEKO AEROSPACE-CEHIA and others alike.

It is important to notice that the Company has successfully maintained its permit granted by the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority for the production of products/components/equipment to fit out AW109 and AW119 helicopters – LEONARDO Helicopters (AGUSTA WESTLAND) ITALY (according to Certificate no. RO.21G.0008/02.12.2014). Based on such permit, TMB continued in 2018 to deliver full subsets for rear transmission for helicopters (production, mounting, trial) and will continue to develop both the current cooperation programs and new programmes with LEONARDO Helicopters ITALIA (TGB repair programme, MGB components execution programme for civil helicopters).

On the domestic market, for aeronautical products, TMB is the only manufacturer and repairer in Romania of gas turbine engines for aircraft and mechanical assemblies for helicopters, its main clients being the Ministry of National Defense (S.M.F.A., S.M.F.N.), the PUMA helicopter producers S.C. IAR S.A. Brașov with which we collaborated in various aviation programs (revamping of PUMA-SOCAT, PUMA-S.A.R. (ONU) and PUMA-NAVAL, SRI helicopters, and other collaborations).

Given the circumstances, where conflict is still present on the international political scene, in 2019 the domestic market still represents an opportunity to consolidate the company's turnover, by continuing the equipment programs of the Ministry of National Defense both in terms of maintaining the existing fighting technique at optimum parameters and in particular by continuing the upgrading of helicopters with SOCAT systems throughout 2018 – 2020 and the SAR research-saving program which includes the revamping of 6 UN helicopters during 2018-2019, as well as the maintenance programs for the IAR 99 SOIM aircraft fleet (by bringing a considerable number of VIPER 632-41M engines equipping such aircraft to the optimum operation parameters).

TMB's major strategic objective continues to be in 2019 the identification of new clients for the processing processes which may secure in 2020 at least 40% of turnover and for repairs, clients that secure 40% of turnover in 2021. Therefore, we are focusing on efficiently loading the production capacity in the field of mechanical processing along with maintaining flexibility in meeting the specific needs of each customer (such as just in time deliveries, accepting the reasonable variation of customers' needs, the existence of a reasonable back-up stock of finished products, etc.).

Correlated with the policy of expanding its production of parts across the global market, a policy applied by the big companies, this strategy of the company aims at increasing the efficiency of production.

In addition to the matters presented, TMB envisages for 2019 a marketing policy oriented towards TMB's strategic objectives as regards the provision of human resources in the period 2018-2021 (according to SRU-01, AI1), by launching and implementing media projects (TV, WEBSITE TMB, publications, other media) to ensure the dissemination of information on TMB partnerships in dual education enrolling the required number of students to the specializations of interest for TMB.

Thus, the marketing budget for this year ensured the Company's participation in many international educational and promotional events, the financing of specific marketing activities in the field of HR, which would allow the Company to sucessfully meet such objectives, thus providing the new generation of workers and specialists for TURBOMECANICA.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following new standards and amendments to standards issued by IASB and adopted by the EU are not yet effective:

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)

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

The Company anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.

Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.

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

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" issued on 24 July 2014 is the IASB's replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting.

Classification and Measurement - IFRS 9 introduces new approach for the classification of financial assets, which is driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. This single, principle-based approach replaces existing rule-based requirements under IAS 39. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments.

Impairment - IFRS 9 has introduced a new, expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new standard requires entities to account for expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis.

Hedge accounting - IFRS 9 introduces a substantially-reformed model for hedge accounting, with enhanced disclosures about risk management activity. The new model represents a significant overhaul of hedge accounting that aligns the accounting treatment with risk management activities.

Own credit - IFRS 9 removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that gains caused by the deterioration of an entity's own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognised in profit or loss.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)

  • IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" issued by IASB on 30 January 2014. This standard is intended to allow entities that are first-time adopters of IFRS, and that currently recognise regulatory deferral accounts in accordance with their previous GAAP, to continue to do so upon transition to IFRS.
  • IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" issued by IASB on 28 May 2014 (on 11 September 2015 IASB deferred effective date of IFRS 15 to 1 January 2018 and on 12 April 2016 IASB made clarifications to this standard). IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 "Revenue", IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Application of the standard is mandatory for all IFRS reporaters and it applies to nearly all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements.
  • IFRS 16 "Leases" issued by IASB on 13 January 2016. Under IFRS 16 a lessee recognises a rightof-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is treated similarly to other non-financial assets and depreciated accordingly. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use their incremental borrowing rate. As with IFRS 16's predecessor, IAS 17, lessors classify leases as operating or finance in nature. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise a lease is classified as an operating lease. For finance leases a lessor recognises finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment. A lessor recognises operating lease payments as income on a straight-line basis or, if more representative of the pattern in which benefit from use of the underlying asset is diminished, another systematic basis.
  • IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" issued by IASB on 18 May 2017. The new standard requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfillment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" and related interpretations while applied.
  • Amendments to IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment" - Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions issued by IASB on 20 June 2016. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: (a) the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; (b) share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and (c) a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cashsettled to equity-settled.
  • Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" - Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts issued by IASB on 12 September 2016. The amendments address concerns arising from implementing the new financial instruments standard, IFRS 9, before implementing the replacement standard that the Board is developing for IFRS 4.

  • 2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)

  • Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" - Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation issued by IASB on 12 October 2017. The amendments modifies the existing requirements in IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of negative compensation payments. Under the amendments, the sign of the prepayment amount is not relevant, i. e. depending on the interest rate prevailing at the time of termination, a payment may also be made in favour of the contracting party effecting the early repayment. The calculation of this compensation payment must be the same for both the case of an early repayment penalty and the case of a early repayment gain.
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture issued by IASB on 11 September 2014 (on 17 December 2015 IASB deferred indefinitely effective date). The amendments address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business.
  • Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" - Definition of Material issued by IASB on 31 October 2018. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance.
  • Amendments to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement issued by IASB on 7 February 2018. The amendments require to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan.
  • Amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures issued by IASB on 12 October 2017. Amendments were introduced to clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 including its impairment requirements, to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. Amendments also delete paragraph 41 because the Board felt that it merely reiterated requirements in IFRS 9 and had created confusion about the accounting for long-term interests.
  • Amendments to IAS 40 "Investment Property" Transfers of Investment Property issued by IASB on 8 December 2016. The amendments state that an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management's intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. Amendments also state that the list of evidence in paragraph 57 was designated as nonexhaustive list of examples instead of the previous exhaustive list.
  • Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28 due to "Improvements to IFRSs (cycle 2014 - 2016)" issued by IASB on 8 December 2016. Amendments to various standards resulting from the annual improvement project of IFRS (IFRS 1, IFRS 12 and IAS 28) primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. Changes include: (i) deletion of the short-term exemptions in paragraphs E3–E7 of IFRS 1, because they have now served their intended purpose, (ii) clarification of the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-by-investment basis, upon initial recognition.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" Definition of a Business issued by IASB on 22 October 2018. Amendments were introduced to improve the definition of a business. The amended definition emphasises that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance.
  • Amendments to various standards due to "Improvements to IFRSs (cycle 2015 -2017)" issued by IASB on 12 December 2017. Amendments to various standards resulting from the annual improvement project of IFRS (IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23) primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. The amendments clarify that: a company remeasures its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business (IFRS 3); a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business (IFRS 11); a company accounts for all income tax consequences of dividend payments in the same way (IAS 12); and a company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale (IAS 23).
  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards issued by IASB on 29 March 2018. Due to the fact that Conceptual Framework was revised, the IASB updated references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards. The document contains amendments to IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 6, IFRS 14, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, and SIC-32. This was done to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction.
  • IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" issued by IASB on 8 December 2016. Interpretation states that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt.
  • IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" issued by IASB on 7 June 2017. It may be unclear how tax law applies to a particular transaction or circumstance, or whether a taxation authority will accept a company's tax treatment. IAS 12 Income Taxes specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements that add to the requirements in IAS 12 by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies are presented below:

The main accounting policies applied in preparing these financial statements are presented below. These policies have been applied consistently throughout all the years disclosed, unless otherwise presented.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, according to the Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, as subsequently amended.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of preparation

The individual financial statements of Turbomecanica SA have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and IFRIC interpretations, as adopted by the European Union. The individual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as amended further to the revaluation of tangible assets and financial assets available for sale at fair value through equity.

The preparation of the individual financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of critical accounting estimates. It also requires that the management use its professional judgment when applying the Company's accounting policies.

Going concern

As at December 31, 2018 the Company registered a cumulated loss of RON 1.059.538.602 which also includes the effects of the application of inflation ratios according to IAS 29. In 2018, the Company registered a profit of RON 24,847,717, much of the Company's business being redressed. The Company has stable orders and clients. These financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern principle. Still, the Company's ability to continue its activity depends on its capacity to generate sufficient future revenues, on the financial support of the crediting banks. The Company's management also deems that the decrease of the gearing ratio due to sale of assets and reimbursement of some loans will lead to an increased support from financing banks. These financial statements do not include adjustments arising from the outcome of any uncertainty related to the going concern.

The Company is currently dependent on the activity with two main internal customers. Turnover with these clients for 2018 represents 91% of total turnover of the Company.

Comparatives

For each item of balance sheet, profit and loss, and where applicable, changes in equity, the Company presented the value of the corresponding item for the previous financial year.

If the values related to the previous year are not comparable to the current period, then such have been amended to provide consistency with the accounting policies and disclosure requirements for the current year.

Revenue recognition

The revenue is measured at the fair value of the counter value received or receivable. Revenue from sales is reduced for returns, commercial rebates and other similar reductions.

Revenue from sales of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
  • the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Specifically, revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the goods are delivered and the ownership right is transferred.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

Revenues from services

Revenues generated by a services supply contract are recognised at the completion of the service. The degree of completion of the transaction is established as follows:

  • Installation fees are recognised according to the degree of completion of the installation, determined as portion of the total estimated time for installation lapsing at the end of the reporting period;
  • Maintenance fees included in the prices of the products sold are recognised by reference to the portion out of the total maintenance cost for the sold product; and
  • Revenues generated by time and materials contracts are recognised at contractual rates as hours worked and direct costs.

Revenues from dividends and interest

The revenue from financial investments is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment has been established (provided that the economic benefits are directed to the Company and the value of revenues is measured with accuracy).

The revenues from interest generated by a financial asset are recognised when it is probable that the Company obtains economic benefits and when such revenue can be reliably measured. The revenue from interest is accumulated in time, by reference to the principal and the actual interest rate applicable, meaning the rate that discounts with accuracy the estimated future cash collections throughout the estimated period of the financial asset at the net book value of the asset upon initial recognition.

Revenues from rentals

The Company's policy on the recognition of revenues from operating lease is described below.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Company as lessor

Amounts payable by a lessee under financing lease are recognised as receivables at the value of the net investment of the Company's in leases. The revenue from finance leases is attributed to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return of the Company's net investments regarding leases.

Revenues from operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Direct initial costs involved in the negotiation and contracting of an operating lease are added to the book value of the leased asset and are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Company as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss, unless directly attributable to eligible assets, in which case are capitalised in accordance with the Company's general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals from operating lease are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

If lease incentives are received to conclude operating leases, such incentives are recognised as liability. The aggregate benefit of the incentives is recognised as a straight line reduction of lease expenses, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Foreign currency transactions

In preparing these financial statements, transactions in other currencies than the functional currency are recorded at the exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, non-monetary elements expressed in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate valid on such date. Non-monetary elements accounted at fair value, expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the current rates valid on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary elements measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated again. The exchange rates used are EUR 1 = RON 4.6639 (December 31, 2018) and USD 1 = RON 4.0736 (December 31, 2018), average rate 2018 EUR 1 = RON 4.6535.

Foreign exchange differences for monetary elements are recognised in the profit and loss in the period they are incurred, except for:

  • foreign exchange differences corresponding to borrowings in foreign currency for assets in progress for future production, which are included in the cost of such assets when considered an adjustment of the expense with the interest related to such borrowings in foreign currency;
  • foreign exchange differences related to transactions concluded to cover certain foreign currency risks (see the hedge accounting policies below).

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Revenues from investing temporarily the obtained borrowings to purchase or construct qualifying assets are deducted from the borrowing costs that may be capitalised.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefits

In the normal course of business, the Company makes payments to the Romanian State on behalf of its employees, for pensions, health and unemployment fund. The cost of these payments is charged to the income statement in the same period as the related salary cost.

All employees of the Company are members of the Romanian State pension plan.

The Company rewards its employees with retirement benefits according to the collective labour contract. For such pension plan, the cost of benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, and actuarial assessments are performed on each balance sheet date. The Company recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in personnel expenses in profit or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Employee benefits (continued)

The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate, the expected inflation rate and the expected rate of salary increase. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of high-quality government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based on current market conditions.

Benefits for termination of employment contract

Benefits for termination of the employment contract may be paid when the Company terminates the employment contract prior to the normal retirement date or any time the employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for such benefits. The Company recognizes the benefits for termination of employment contract either when it clearly undertakes either to terminate the current employees' employment contracts according to an official plan without the realistic possibility to avoid it; or to offer benefits for terminating the employment contract further to an offer submitted to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits owed within more than 12 months from the reporting period are discounted on the reporting date.

Taxation

Income tax expenses consist of all current taxes payable, and deferred income taxes.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on the taxable income for the year. Taxable income differs from the income reported in the statement of comprehensive income due to items of revenues or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years, and due to items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current income tax liability is determined by using the taxation rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised based on temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding fiscal base used in calculating taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax receivables are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences if the taxable profits against which the deferred tax receivable can be used are available. No deferred tax receivables or liabilities are recognised if the temporary difference is generated by the initial recognition of goodwill or initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that does not constitute a business combination and does not affect either the accounting income or taxable income upon the conclusion of the transaction (fiscal loss).

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the level of the taxes assumed to apply during the period set for the recovery of the debt or realisation of the asset, considering the level of taxes (and tax laws) that are or will be in force until the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences that would arise from the manner in which the Company estimates, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying value of its assets and liabilities.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Taxation (continued)

Current and deferred annual tax

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit and loss unless it refers to elements recognised in other comprehensive results or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax is also recognised in other global income, or equity.

The income tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 16% (December 31, 2017: 16%).

Property, plant and equipment

Tangible assets used in production or to supply goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are presented in the statement of financial position at re-measured value less depreciation and any cumulated depreciation.

Tangible assets in progress that will be used in production or in administration are stated at cost less any impairment. Costs include professional fees and, in case of qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company's accounting policies. Such assets are classified under such categories of tangible assets when completed or ready for use for the purpose they were intended. The depreciation of such assets, on the same basis as other owned assets, commences when the assets are ready for use as intended by the management.

The depreciation periods for tangible assets are:

Years
Buildings 10-50
Installations and technological equipment 3-20
Furniture and other office equipment 3-15

Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is charged so as to systematically allocate the cost of the asset less the residual value over its estimated useful life, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

An item of property, plant and equipment is no longer recognised further to its assignment or when no future economic benefits are expected from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss resulting from the assignment or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between proceeds from sales and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the Company's profit or loss.

The net book value of buildings, plant and machinery is of approximately RON 35.6 million and the net book value of the land (including locally mandatory indexation) is approximately RON 18.8 million.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with determined useful lives and which are acquired separately are reported at cost less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with undetermined useful lives and which are acquired separately, are reported at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intangible assets (continued)

Internally generated intangible assets – research and development expenses (continued)

Expenses for research and development are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Expenses for research and development are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) shall be recognised if, and only if, an entity can demonstrate all of the following:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
  • its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
  • its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The initially recognised value of internally generated intangible assets means the sum of all costs incurred as of the date when the intangible asset fulfils for the first time the recognition criteria above. Where no internally generated intangible asset may be recognised, development expenses are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

After initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses, the same as intangible assets acquired separately.

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at fair value on the acquisition date (deemed cost thereof).

After initial recognition, intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are reported at cost minus any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses, the same as intangible assets acquired separately.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gains or losses from the derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as difference between net proceeds from sale and the asset's carrying value are recognised in profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that that such assets have impaired. Should such indication exist, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). Where the recoverable value of a particular asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where there can be identified a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation, corporate assets will also be allocated to individual cash generating units or, if not, to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (continued)

Intangible assets with undetermined useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested at least annually for impairment or anytime there is an indication that the asset might be impaired.

The recoverable value means the highest of fair value minus sale costs and its value in use. When measuring the value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted at their current value by using a discount rate determined prior to taxation, which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates related to future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable value of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be lower than its carrying value, then the carrying value of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is reduced to the level of the recoverable value. Impairment is recognised immediately in profit or loss, if the relevant asset is not registered at a re-measured value, in which case the impairment is treated as reduction of remeasurement.

Were the impairment is reversed, the carrying value of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is increased at the level of its new estimated recoverable value, only that the increased carrying value must not exceed the carrying value that would have been established should the impairment for the asset (cash-generating unit) had not been recognised in previous years. A reversal of impairment is immediately recognised in profit or loss, except where the asset is accounted at revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment is treated as increase of the revaluation.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the WAC (weighted average cost) method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price throughout the normal business course, less estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources incorporating economic benefits will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate of the value of the obligation may be made.

The value recognised as provision is the best estimate of the counter value required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, the carrying value thereof is the present value of such cash flows (if the effect of the time value of money is material).

When expected that some of or all the economic benefits required to settle a provision be recovered from third parties, then the receivable is recognised as asset if it is almost certain that the repayment will be collected and the value of the receivable can be reliably assessed.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations generated under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. A contract is onerous when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

Restructurings

A provision for restructuring costs is recognised when the Company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a provision for restructuring includes only direct expenses related to the restructuring, which mean such values that are mandatorily generated by restructuring and are not associated with the Company's ongoing activities.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Provisions (continued)

Guarantees

Provisions for estimated costs of guarantee obligations according to local legislation concerning the sale of goods are recognised on the date when the relevant products are sold, at the best estimate made by the management as regards the expenses required to settle the Company's obligation.

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party in the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified in the following categories: financial assets "at fair value through profit and loss" and "loans and receivables". The classification depends on the nature and scope of the financial assets and is determined upon initial recognition. All standard purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on the transaction date. Standard purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require the delivery of the assets within a short period of time through regulation or market convention.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including the taxes paid or received forming an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and other premiums or discounts) over the estimated period of the debt instrument, or (if applicable) over a shorter period, to the net carrying amount as at the initial recognition date.

The income is recognised based on the effective interest method for debt instruments other than the assets classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when they are either held for trading or when they are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading:

  • if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term; or
  • upon initial recognition if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profittaking; or
  • if it is a derivative not designated and effective as hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
  • the financial asset is part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both, and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis; or
  • the asset is part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement allows that the entire combined contract (asset or liability) be designated as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are declared at fair value, and any gain or loss arising from revaluation is recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses recognised in profit or loss comprise all the dividends or interest gained at financial assets and are included as "Net financial gains" in the statement of comprehensive income.

Loans and receivables

Borrowings and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not quoted on an active market. Borrowings and receivables (including trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash, etc.) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest method, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of the interest is not material.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets other than at fair value through profit or loss are tested for impairment on each balance sheet date.

Financial assets are impaired 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 and that loss event (or events) had an impact on the future cash flow corresponding to the investment.

Certain categories of financial assets such as clients, assets measured as not individually impairable are subsequently tested for impairment collectively. Objective evidence that a portfolio of receivables is impaired may include the Company's past experience regarding collective payments, an increase in the collection of delayed payments beyond the crediting period, and visible changes in the national and local economic conditions that correlate with payment incidents regarding receivables.

Other objective evidence of impairment include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; or
  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter insolvency or other financial reorganisation; or
  • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

The carrying value of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss, directly for all financial assets, except for trade receivables, in which case the carrying value is reduced through an allowance account. If it is deemed that a receivable cannot be recovered, it shall be written off and deducted from the provision. Subsequent recoveries of the amounts previously written off are credited in the allowance account. Changes in the carrying value of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises financial assets if and only if the contractual rights over the cash flows expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the asset to another entity.

When derecognising a financial asset other than entirely (e.g., when the Company does not retain an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset or retains a residual interest that does not result in the retention of substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the entity retains control), the Company allocates the previous carrying value of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying value allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received together with any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other elements of comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other elements of comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is derecognised, based on the relative fair values of those parts.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Classification as liability or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified either as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with contractual engagements and the definition of a financial liability and equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that proves a residual participation in the assets of an entity after deducting all liabilities.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified either as financial liabilities "at fair value through profit or loss" or as "other financial liabilities".

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading, or designated at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading:

  • if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term; or
  • if, upon initial recognition, is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profittaking; or
  • if it is an embedded derivative not designated and effective hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
  • the financial liability is part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both, and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis; or
  • the asset is part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement allows that the entire combined contract (asset or liability) be designated as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are declared at fair value, and any gain or loss arising from re-measurement is recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses recognised in profit or loss comprise any interest paid in relation to the financial liability and are included as "Net financial expenses" in the statement of comprehensive income.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are subsequently measured using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating the interest expenses over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts exactly estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received forming an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and other premiums or discounts) over the estimated period of the financial liability, or (if applicable) over a shorter period, to the net carrying value as at the initial recognition date.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial liabilities and equity instruments (continued)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities if and only if the Company's liabilities are paid, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the derecognised financial liability and the counter value paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries and associates

Counterparties are deemed subsidiaries or associates when another party, either through ownership, contractual rights, family relations or other means, may control directly (subsidiaries) or influence significantly (associates) the other party.

Segment reporting

A segment is a part of the Company that is involved in activity segments from which it can obtain revenues and register expenses (including revenues and expenses corresponding to transactions with other parts of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly followed by the Company's management in order to made decisions on the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performances and for which separate financial information is available. Segment information is disclosed regarding the company's activity segments and are established based on the Company's management and internal reporting structure.

Settlement prices among segments are set objectively.

The results, assets and liabilities related to a segment include elements that may be allocated directly to one segment, and elements that may be allocated on a reasonable basis. Elements not allocated principally consist of investments (other than property investment) and related revenues, credits and loans and related expenses, corporate assets (mainly the Company's main office) and administrative expenses related to the main office, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Capital expenses related to a segment represent the total costs registered over the period for purchasing tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill.

IFRS 9 "Financial instruments"

As of January 1, 2018, the Company first applied IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments". IFRS 9 introduces changes in the recognition and measurement of financial assets and results in prior recognition of nonperforming debt allowances for receivables. Being permitted by the standard, the Company adopted IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018 using the revised retroactive method, with cumulative adjustments from the initial application recognized in equity as of 1 January 2018 and without disclosing the comparatives. For trade receivables, there is no significant difference between the initial measurement method in accordance with IAS 39 and the new criteria.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers"

IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" introduces a comprehensive model for the recognition and measurement of income. The standard replaces the existing income recognition criteria, replacing IAS 18 "Income", IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs". Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when the customer acquires control of the goods or services provided, at the amount that reflects the price that the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Being permitted by the standard, the Company adopted IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018 using the revised retrospective method with cumulative adjustments from the initial application recognized in equity as of 1 January 2018 and without restating the comparatives. Initial application has no impact on the retained earnings of the Company.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Segment reporting (continued)

As far as the moment of revenue recognition is concerned, all services provided by the Company are transferred to the customer when the services are rendered. On the basis of the internal assessment, the impact was identified in the amount of RON 1,232,247 from extended guarantees. Also, a number of other amendments and interpretations have been effective since January 1, 2018, but do not have a material effect on these separate financial statements.

If the new IFRS 15 had been adopted, the Income lines in the statement of comprehensive income for the period ended December 31, 2018 would have been higher by RON 1,232,247 without impact on the margin.

IFRS 16 "Leases"

Starting January 1, 2019, the Company will adopt the new IFRS 16 "Leasing" standard. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 replaces existing guidelines for lease agreements, including IAS 17 Leasing, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, SIC-15 Operating leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Fund of Transactions involving the Legal Form of a Lease Agreement. The Company is currently conducted a detailed assessment of the impact of applying IFRS 16 and doesn't resulted a significant impact.

Critical accounting judgements

The following are the critical judgements that the management has used in applying the Company's accounting policies and which have a significant impact on the carrying values recognised in the financial statements.

i) Allowances for impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that such assets are impaired. Should such indication exist, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). Where the recoverable value of a particular asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable value means the highest value of fair value minus sale costs and its value in use. When assessing the value in use, the management estimates future cash flows discounted at their current value by using an un-discounting rate which reflects the current market value of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimated cash flows have not been adjusted. The carrying amount of tangible and intangible assets as at December 31, 2018 is of RON 59,014,010. As at December 31, 2018, the Company did not find any indication of impairment of the recoverable value of such non-current assets.

ii) Useful life of tangible and intangible assets

The Company revises the estimated useful life of tangible and intangible assets at the end of each annual reporting period. The useful lives are presented in Note 3 tangible and intangible accounting policies.

iii) Pension obligations

The present value of pension obligations depends on a number of factors determined on an actuarial basis, using various hypotheses. Any change in such hypotheses will influence the carrying value of the pension obligations. The pension obligations are in amount of RON 1,493,086 as at December 31, 2018, of which RON 221,146 as expense corresponding to the period recognized in the statement of the financial year result. The value was calculated by Gelid Actuarial Company S.R.L. based on the consultancy and actuarial services provision contract concluded in 2018.

iv) Deferred tax. The carrying amount as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is presented in Note 10.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Critical accounting judgements (continued)

  • v) Provisions and contingent liabilities. Provisions are reassessed annually presented in Note 21 and contingent liabilities are also determined on annual basis - presented in Note 30.
  • vi) The fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market is determined by using measurement techniques. The Company uses its judgement to choose from various methods and advance hypotheses that rely mainly on the existing market conditions at the end of each reporting period. Financial instruments analysis is presented in Note 26.

The management considers that the measurement techniques and the hypotheses used are correct for setting the fair value of financial instruments.

10. INCOME TAX

In 2018 and 2017, the income tax rate was 16%.

The differences between the regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance in Romania and the accounting rules used to prepare the financial statements give rise to a temporary difference between the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and their fiscal value. The deferred income tax is computed for all temporary differences to which tax is applied using the balance sheet liability method and using the tax rate of 16%.

Finished goods and work in progress are expected to be realized in the next twelve months while the remaining are expected to be realized in a period of five years depending on the orders received from customers.

Obsolete inventories were adjusted as follows: by 100% inactive inventories in the last 5 years (or more), by 70% inactive inventories in the last 4 years and by 50% inactive inventories in the last 3 years. Inactive inventories in the last 2 years have not been adjusted since most manufactured products have long cycle of use. To adjust slow moving inventories, only those materials that registered outflows in 2018 have been taken into account, and inventories as at 31.12.2017 and 31.12.2018 were different from zero. The rate was calculated as the ratio between the average inventories (as at 31.12.2017 and 31.12.2018) and 2018outflows. The adjustments were calculated according to the size of rate: 30% for a rate equal to 3, 70% for a rate equal to 4 and 100% for a rate equal to 5 (and higher).

Inventories of raw materials and consumables managed by DPPV – Finished parts VIPER; DPRP – Repaired parts; DPMP – hazardous materials, intended only for the manufacturing and repair or VIPER 632-41 engines, were 100% provisioned.

The raw materials and consumables managed by DPSM in amount of RON 2,463,196., procured in 2017 for the GE HUNGARY programme at clients' request, were 100% provisioned due to the decrease of demand for finished goods.

The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out at 31 December 2018 by GELID ACTUARIAL COMPANY. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Credit Unit Method (PCUM). Retirement benefits are expected to be paid in a period of 5-15 years.

The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

1) Demographic assumptions on the future characteristics of employees eligible for receiving benefits:

Mortality of employees and their
family members.
Romanian Mortality Table for 2013 (men and women) issued by the
National Institute of Statistics.
Rate of employee turnover In 2018, the employee turnover was 9.1%, a more than 50%
decrease compared to 2017. For this year, the Company
considered the average of the last five years, of 7.83% pa. Based
on employees' age structure, the model of the employee turnover
rate takes into account the number of remaining years until
retirement, resulting a number of employees who would be leaving
and who would be equally replaced with 7.83% of the total number
of employees. The rate of employee turnover is:
- 23.62% pa for employees over 35 years until retirement;
- decreasing to 0% for employees with 35 to 5 years until
retirement;
For the last 5 years until retirement, the Company considered that
the employees are not looking for a change of job and have gained
enough experience not to be replaced on disciplinary or
professional grounds.
Rate of dismissals For the period after December 2018, the Company did not
communicate a personnel redundancy plan.

21. PROVISIONS (continued)

2) Financial assumptions

Discount rate As regards the discount rate, the Company took into account the yields of
bonds on the active market at the end of December 2018. The available
residual terms until maturity were 1-10 years and 13 years. For the other
terms, the Company estimated the discount rate using the Smith-Wilson
method. The long-term assumptions were:
– estimated long-term inflation rate 2% pa
– estimated long-term real yield of government bonds 2.05% pa
– liquidity premium for Romania 0%.
Thus, a balancing forward rate of 4.05% pa was considered.
The method ensures compatibility between the discount rate and inflation rate.
Inflation rate Based on the statistics issued by INSSE and the NBR forecast, the Company
estimated an inflation rate of:

3.75% in 2019

3.1% in 2020

Decreasing on a straight line up to 2.5% in 2021-2025

2.50% in 2025-2030 following a decreasing trend in the upcoming
years.
  • The Company estimates an average growth of maximum 7% in 2019. For 2019 and the following years, the Company estimated that salaries will increase by an average of the consumer price index of each year.

Service cost: December 31, 2017
Current service cost 174,259
Interest cost 46,887

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a) Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital so as to make sure that it will continue its business along time with the maximization of the shareholders' wealth, by optimizing the balance of liabilities and equity.

The Company's capital consists of debts, which include the borrowings disclosed in Note 20, cash and cash equivalents and equity.

Equity comprises share capital, reserves and retained earnings, as disclosed in Notes 18 and 19.

The Company monitors capital based on the gearing ratio. Such ratio is calculated as ratio between the net debt and total capital. The net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including both long and shortterm loans) less cash and cash equivalents.

The total capital is calculated as "capital and reserves" as reported in the balance sheet.

The gearing ratio as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows:

December 31,
2018
December 31,
2017
Total borrowings 13,732,848 42,839,163
Cash and cash equivalents 6,990,513 9,636,856
Net debt 20,723,361 33,202,307
Total capital and reserves 75,345,217 60,112,656
Gearing ratio 28% 55%

Gearing ratio has been positively changed from last year as the Company managed to improve its financial position by selling assets held for sale and repayment of loans, in order to reduce the debt and the interest payable in the future.

b) Foreign currency risk management

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations in commercial and financing transactions. Foreign currency risk arises from recognized trade assets and liabilities, borrowings inclusively, expressed in foreign currency. Due to high associated costs, the Company's policy is not to use financial derivatives to mitigate such risk.

c) Interest rate risk management

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's operating cash flows are impacted mainly by the changes in interest rates, due to the foreign borrowings with variable interest rates contracted from internal credit institutions. The Company has significant borrowings with variable interest rates that expose the Company to significant cash flow risk. The Company is on ongoing negotiation process with the bank to renegotiate repayment terms and interest.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

d) Credit risk management

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its trade and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy clients. The due date of the liabilities is closely monitored and the amounts owed after expiry of the maturity date are promptly supervised. Trade receivables (clients) are disclosed net of allowances for doubtful debts. The Company has adopted policies limiting the value of the credit exposure towards any financial institution. Collaterals are not required however advance payments are in certain cases required. Cash is placed in financial institutions, which are considered to have minimal risk of default. The deposits are held at the BRD and Banca Transilvania.

The carrying amounts represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk for existing receivables.

e) Liquidity risk management

A prudent liquidity risk management requires maintaining sufficient cash and available credit lines, by continually monitoring the estimated and actual cash flow and by correlating the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

f) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;
  • the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions; and
  • the fair value of financial derivatives is calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, the discounted cash flow analysis is used, using the yield curve applicable to the duration of derivatives that do not include options and the models to assess options for derivatives based on options.

Financial instruments in the balance sheet include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term loans and trade and other payables. The estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed in respect of the exchange rate of the EUR and USD vs. RON. The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in EUR/USD against RON. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to senior management and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.

A negative number below indicates a decrease in profit, when there is a 10% weakening of the RON against the EUR / USD. For a 10% strengthening of RON against the EUR / USD there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and equity and the balance would be positive.

26. EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a) Basic

The basic result per share is calculated by dividing the shareholders' profit to the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued during the year, except for ordinary shares purchased by the Company and kept as treasury shares (Note 18).

2018 2017
Company shareholders result 24,847,717 13,650,921
Weighted average number of ordinary shares issued 369,442,475 369,442,475
Basic earnings per share 0.07 0.03

(b) Diluted

The diluted result per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average of existing shares to take into account the translation of all potentially diluted shares. The Company did not register convertible debts or share issuance options which may be converted to ordinary shares that may adjust the weighted average number of shares.

In 2018, the company distributed dividends from the 2017 profit, in amount of RON 8,494,681, the balance of which as at December 31, 2018 is RON 283,543.

27. RELATED PARTIES

The loans from the shareholders are presented in Note 20.

28. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Potential liabilities:

Taxation

Taxation system in Romania is still developing trying to consolidate and harmonize with the European legislation. In this respect, there still are various interpretations of the tax laws. In certain cases, tax authorities may treat differently certain aspects and calculate supplementary taxes and levies and related interests and penalties.

In 2018, the interest value is 0.02% for each day of delay; the delay penalties are 0.01% for each day of delay.

In Romania, the fiscal year stays open for verifications during 5 years. The management estimates that the tax liabilities included in these financial statements are adequate.

In accordance with the provisions issued by the Ministry of Public Finance, which regulate the tax regime of items of equity which have not been subject to income tax as at their accounting registration, due to their nature, should the Company change the destination of revaluation reserves (by covering losses or allocation to shareholders), it will incur additional income tax liabilities.

28. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Environmental matters

Environmental regulations are developing in Romania, and the Company did not register any liabilities as at December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 for any estimated costs, including legal and consulting fees, site surveys, the design and implementation of recovery plans as regards the environment.

Inventories held in custody

As at December 31, 2018, the Company did not hold inventories in custody.

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In 2019, the loan contracts of Mr. Viehmann Radu (Addendum no. 10 authenticated under no. 67/22.01.2019) and Ms. Ciorapciu Dana Maria (Addendum no. 6 authenticated under no. 68/22.01.2019) were extended until 31.01.2020, the interest rate was established at 6.35%.

For January 2019, Mr. Viehmann Radu collected interest in amount of RON 22,358 and paid the tax in amount of RON 2,476 and Ms. Ciorapciu Dana Maria collected interest in amount of RON 1,491 and paid tax in amount of RON 160.

In January 2019, all the commissions for December 2018 and due on 01.01.2018 (with BRD) and 31.01.2018 (with Banca Transilvania) were paid.

On 07.01.2019, Addendum no. 20/186 was concluded, which amended the conditions of the credit line in amount of RON 9,400,000.

The condition is that, within 60 days from approval of the request, to have the evaluation report of the real estate established as security finalised.

On 11.02.2019 Addendum no. 21/186 was concluded, which amended the conditions of the credit line in amount of RON 9,400,000.

The condition is that, within 105 days from approval of the request, to have the evaluation report of the real estate established as security finalised.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of, Turbomecanica SA

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Turbomecanica SA (the "Company"), with registered office in Bucharest, identified by unique tax registration code 3156315, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
    1. The financial statements as at December 31, 2018 are identified as follows:
    2. Net assets/Equity RON 110,194,604
    3. Net profit for the financial year RON 24,847,717
  • In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council (forth named the "Regulation") and Law 162/2017 ("the Law"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), in accordance with ethical requirements relevant for the audit of the financial statements in Romania including the Regulation and the Law 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

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide an opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the matter
Income recognition
We have identified two core matters regarding
the income obtained from repairs and sales of
airspace parts manufactured by the Company,
presented below, which we consider important
due to the complexity of the operation and the
judgment applied:

the complete registration of
contracts/large clients

timing of income recognition
The accounting policies on income recognition
are mentioned in Note 3 to the financial
statements and the two income sources
mentioned above have been presented in Note
3 to the financial statements.
We have performed the following audit procedures:

assessed the existing controls of the sales
activity, namely invoicing and income
recognition;

assessed the adequate design of the controls
over the income and their implementation
within the Company, by obtaining evidence in
the form of relevant supporting documents,
signatures and related approvals;

confirmed income with the most important
clients selected;

conducts analytical procedures regarding
income;

analysed the commercial agreements
concluded by the Company with its most
important clients and compared the amounts
stipulated in the agreements with the actual
income registered in the financial statements;

selected a sample of income, which we
compared with the relevant supporting
documents.

Other Information – Administrators' Report

  1. The administrators are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the other information. The other information comprises the Administrators' report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, unless explicitly provided in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

With respect to the Administrators' report, we read and report if this has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.

On the sole basis of the procedures performed within the audit of the financial statements, in our opinion:

  • a) the information included in the Administrators' report for the financial year for which the financial statements have been prepared is consistent, in all material respects, with these financial statements;
  • b) the Administrators' report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.

Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2018, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this Administrators' report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

    1. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016, with subsequent amendments, for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'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 or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
    2. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
    3. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
    4. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    5. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
    6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
    1. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
    1. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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

  1. We have been appointed by the General Assembly of Shareholders on 14.11.2017 to audit the financial statements of Turbomecanica SA for the financial year ended December 31, 2018. The uninterrupted total duration of our commitment is 1 year, covering the financial year ended December 31, 2018.

  • We have not provided for the Company the prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of EU Regulation No.537 / 2014.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Madeline Alexander.
