NOTE 2 -ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

2.1. Estimates

The preparation and presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions affecting the implementation of the accounting policies as well as the reported value of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The estimates and judgements are made based on the historic experience as well as on a series of factors considered adequate and reasonable. The accounting estimates and judgements are continuously updated and are based on reasonable expectations with respect to future probable events.

The reported accounting values of the assets, the liabilities that cannot be determined or obtained from other sources are based on these estimates considered adequate by the company's management.

Such estimates, as well as the reasoning and assumptions behind them are reviewed on a regular basis and the result thereof is registered in the time period when the estimate was reviewed.

Any change in accounting estimates will be recognized prospectively by its inclusion in the result:

  • of the period in which the change occurs if it affects only the respective time period; or
  • of the period in which the change occurs and of the subsequent periods, if the change also affects such periods.

The Company uses estimates in order to determine:

  • the uncertain customers and the adjustments for impairment of related receivables;
  • the value of the provisions for risks and expenses to set up at the end of a time period (month, quarter, year) for litigations, for the dismantling of property, plant and equipment, for restructuring, for collateral granted to customers, for obligations towards manpower and other obligations;
  • the adjustments for impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. At the end of each reporting period, the company estimates whether there is any impairment. If such signs are identified, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment (if any).
  • the lifetimes of property, plant and equipment and intangible fixed assets. The company reviews the estimated periods of use of tangible and intangible fixed assets at least at the end of each financial year to determine the adequacy.
  • the inventories of raw materials and materials requiring to set up adjustments for impairment.
  • deferred taxes.

Presentation of the information

To the extent possible, the company will present the nature and value of a change to an accounting estimate which has an effect in the current/ subsequent period(s).

2.2. Errors

Errors may arise in recognizing, evaluating, presenting or describing the items of the financial statements.

The company corrects retrospectively the significant errors of the previous period in the first set of financial statements whose publication was approved after discovering them, by:

  • restatement of comparative amounts for the prior period in which the error occurred, or
  • if the error occurred before the prior period, by restatement of the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the previous presented period.

In the event of an error being identified, the Company shall disclose the following information:

  • the nature of the error for the prior period;
  • the value of the adjustment for each of the previously presented period, to the possible extent:
  • x for each item row affected from the financial statement;
  • x for the basic result and diluted per share.
  • the amount of the correction at the beginning of the first period, previously presented;
  • if retrospective reprocessing is impossible for a specific prior period, the circumstances that lead to the existence of such circumstance and a description of how and when such error was corrected.

2.3. Changes in the accounting policies

The change of the accounting policies is only permitted if requested by IFRS or if it results in more relevant or more reliable information with reference to the company operations.

  • The company modifies an accounting policy only if such change:
  • is required by an IFRS or
  • results in financial statements that provide reliable and more relevant information with reference to the effects of the transactions, of other events or conditions over the financial performance or cash flows of the entity.

Applying changes in Accounting Policies:

  • The entity takes into account a change in the accounting policy that results from the initial implementation of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitory provisions, if any, of that IFRS; and
  • When the entity changes an accounting policy to the initial application of an IFRS that does not include specific transitory provisions.

Presentation of the information

When the initial application of an IFRS has an effect over the current or prior period of time, the company presents, in the explicative notes the following:

  • the title of IFRS;
  • the nature of the accounting policy change;
  • when it is the case, the fact that the change is made as an effect of the transitory dispositions and a description of these transitory provisions;
  • for the current period and for each prior period, the amount of adjustments for each affected element from the situation of the financial position, to the extent possible

When it is impossible to determine the specific effects for one or more accounting prior periods, the Company will apply the new accounting policy of assets and liabilities for the first period for which retrospective application is possible, that may also be the current period.

AEROSTAR S.A. BACAU NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON JUNE 30th 2018

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousand lei)

When a voluntary change of the accounting policy has an effect over the current or prior period, the company presents in the explicative notes:

  • the nature of the change of accounting policy;
  • the reasons for which the application of the new accounting policy offers more reliable and relevant information;

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES

3.1. Basis for the preparation and presentation of financial statements

The Company has opted for a presentation by nature and liquidity in the statement of financial position and a presentation of income and expenses by nature in the statement of profit or loss, considering that these methods offer information that is relevant to the Company's situation.

3.2. Applied Accounting Policies

Aerostar SA describes the accounting policies applied in each of the notes to the individual financial statements and avoids repeating the text of the standard, unless it is considered relevant to understanding the content of the note.

The most significant accounting policies are presented below:

x Accounting Policies regarding property, plant and equipment

The Company has chosen the cost-based model as accounting policy. After recognition as asset, the property, plant and equipment are accounted at their cost less accumulated impairment and any accumulated impairment losses.

The depreciated cost is allocated systematically over the useful life of the asset and represents the cost of the asset except the residual value.

Taking into account the specific activity and the types of property, plant and equipment in the patrimony of the company, it was considered that the residual values of the property, plant and

equipment are insignificant. Practically, the residual value was calculated at the level of metal waste that may be valued after deduction of dismantling, disassembly and sales expenses.

The impairment methods and useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year and are appropriately adjusted. The useful lifetimes are determined by the commission made up of company's specialists. Any changes are accounted prospectively.

Subsequent expenditures related to property, plant and equipment are added to the net value of the good, when:

  • they have as effect the improvement of the initial technical parameters;
  • are the sources of future economic benefits materialized by cash-flows that are supplementary to those initially estimated; and
  • may be reliably assessed.

The benefits are realized directly through the increase of revenues and indirectly through reducing maintenance and operating expenses.

All other repair and maintenance expenses performed to ensure the continued use of the property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss when they are carried out. These are performed in order to keep the initial technical parameters. The spare parts are generally accounted for as inventories and recognized as expense when consumed. If the spare parts and service equipment, with significant values, may only be used in connection with an item of property, plant and equipment, they are accounted for as property, plant and equipment if the initial acquisition cost (upon commissioning) of the replaced part can be determined.

To decide whether the recognition is done separately, on separate components, each case is analysed using professional reasoning.

The property, plant and equipment to be used in production or in administrative activities are presented in the situation of the financial position of cost, less any loss accumulated from impairment. Such assets are classified in the respective asset classes when they are completed and ready for use in the manner desired by the management, for the intended purpose.

The management of the company has set an amount for the capitalization of assets at 2.500 lei. All purchases below this amount will be considered as expenses of the period.

Exceptions: Computers are considered to be impaired property, plant and equipment, irrespective of the amount of inventory inflow and will depreciate over expected useful life set by the receiving department. Work tools and devices are also accounted for as inventories and recognized as expenses of the period when consumed, irrespective of their initial value, taking into account that they have a useful lifetime less than a year, as well as their degree of specialization (intended to be used for a particular type of product/ service).

In the case of internally generated intangible assets, the phases of the production are clearly separated, namely:

  • x The research phase. The research costs are treated as expenses of the period
  • x The development phase. The development costs are registered as an intangible asset, if the following conditions are demonstrated:
  • the technical feasibility of completing the asset, so that it is available for use or sell;
  • he availability of adequate resources financial, human, financial to complete the development;
  • the intention to complete and use or sell the intangible asset;
  • the ability to use or sell the asset;

  • how the asset will generate future economic value;

  • the ability to assess costs.

If the company cannot distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset, the company treats the costs of the project as being exclusively incurred during the research phase.

The company has chosen as accounting policy the cost model that requires that the intangible assets to be valued at their net asset value, equal to their cost, except the accumulated impairment and any impairment losses, for those assets.

An investment property is initially valued according to its cost, including any other directly attributable expenses. After the initial recognition, the company has opted for the cost model for all its investments property in accordance with the provisions of IAS 16 for that model.

The transfers to and from the investment property category are made if and only if there is a change in their use.

The transfers between categories do not change the accounting value of transferred property and do not change the cost of that property for the purpose of evaluation or presenting the information.

The investment property is amortized according to the same rules as for the property, plant and equipment.

In the category of financial assets, are highlighted:

  • Shares held in affiliated companies.
  • Other property, plant and equipment.
  • Long-term loans as well as interest on them. In this category are included the amounts granted to third parties based on interest-rate contracts, according to the law.
  • Other fixed liabilities as well as interests related to them. This category includes collateral, deposits and bills placed with third parties, receivables related to financial leasing contracts.

The financial assets recognized as an asset are measured at the cost of acquisition or at the amount set in their acquisition contract.

The financial assets are presented in the statement of the financial position at the incoming value, except any recognized impairment losses.

x Accounting policies on inventory items

The registration of inventories is recorded at the time of the transfer of risks and benefits.

The material goods received for processing, custody or consignment are incoming received and recorded distinctly as inventory entries.

In the accounting, the value of these goods is recorded in off-balance sheet accounts.

The calculations of those inventories that are not usually fungible and of those goods or services, products are determined by specific identification of their individual costs.

At the inventory outflow and of those active fungible, those are assessed and recorded in the accounting by applying the FIFO method.

Periodically, the management of the company approves the level of the normal technological losses. The inventory is kept according to quantity and value, by applying the permanent inventory method. The value adjustments are made for the current assets of the inventory, upon each reporting period, based on the age of inventories, of the resolutions given by the inventory commissions and/ or by the leaders of the modules, for the presentation of assets at the lowest value between cost and net realizable value.

x Accounting policies on company's liabilities

Company's liabilities are highlighted in the accounting based on third parties accounts. Suppliers and other liabilities accounts are kept by category, as well as by each individual or legal entity.

Income tax to be paid is recognized as a liability within the limit of the unpaid amount.

The registration in the accounting of the excise duties and special founds included in prices or tariffs is made based on the corresponding debt accounts, without transferring through the revenue accounts.

Operations that cannot be separately recorded in the appropriate accounts and for which further clarification is required are recorded in a separate account 473 (Deposits from operations under clarification).

Foreign currency liabilities are recorded in the accounting both in RON as well as in foreign currency.

A liability is classified as a short-term liability, also called current liability when:

  • it is expected to be settled in the normal course of the company's operating cycle, or
  • it is due within 12 months from the balance sheet's date.

All other liabilities are classified as long-term liabilities.

Debts that are payable over a term longer than 12 months are long-term debts.

Are also considered to be interest-bearing long-term liabilities even when they are due within 12 months of the date of the financial statements, if:

a) the initial term was for a period longer than 12 months; and

b) there is a refinancing or rescheduling agreement that is concluded before the date of the financial statements.

x Accounting policies on company's receivables

Receivables include:

  • commercial receivables, which are amounts owed by customers for goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of the activity;
  • commercial revenue (effects) to be collected, third party instruments;
  • amounts owed by the employees or affiliated companies
  • advance payments to the suppliers of property, plant and equipment, of goods and services;
  • receivables related to personnel and state budget.

Receivables are accounted for under the accrual basis, according to the legal or contractual provisions.

Customer accounting is kept on categories (internal customers for services and products, as well as external customers for services and products) and on each natural or legal person.

Receivables settled in foreign currency or in RON according to the foreign exchange rate:

Receivables in foreign currencies, which are the result of the company's transaction, are recorded both in RON, as well as in foreign currency.

The transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at the foreign exchange rate, communicated by the National Bank of Romania, from the date of the operation.

Impairment of receivables with prescribed collection deadlines is performed only after all legal steps have been taken, for their settlement.

AEROSTAR S.A. BACAU NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON JUNE 30th 2018

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousand lei)

The uncertain receivables are recorded separately in the account 4118 Uncertain customers when the payment term stipulated in the contract has exceeded by more than 30 days or there is a dispute with the customer.

In the annual financial statements, receivables are valued and presented in the value which is likely to receive.

When a receivable from a customer has not been collected in full at the payment term stipulated in the contract, there are recorded impairment adjustments to the terms and percentages approved by the Board of Directors in the Accounting Policy Manual.

x Accounting Policies for Revenue Recognition

In the revenue-related category are included both the revenues received or to be received in own name, as well as gains from any source.

Revenues are classified as follows:

  • 9 revenues from operations;
  • 9 financial revenues.

The revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

The revenue is measured at the fair value of the amount received or to be received. The sales revenue is diminished for returns, commercial rebates and other similar discounts.

Revenues from operations include:

  • sales revenue (goods, services, commodities, residual products);
  • revenues related to the cost of product inventories;
  • revenues from the production of property, plant and equipment;
  • revenues from changes in adjustments of assets respectively from impairments or reversals of provisions;
  • other operating revenues.

Revenues from the sale of goods are recorded when all of the following conditions are met:

  • the company had transferred to the buyer the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
  • the company does not retain the continuous managerial involvement to the level usually associated with the ownership or the actual control over the sold goods;
  • the amount of revenue can be accurately assessed;
  • it is likely that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will be directed to the entity;
  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with the transaction can be precisely measured.

Specifically, the proceeds from the sale of goods are recognized when the goods are delivered and the legal title is transferred.

Revenues from rendering of services

The service contracts in the company's portfolio are usually contracts with execution at a specific time, which coincides with the delivery of goods subject to the rendering of services.

As a result, the revenues from the rendering of services are registered when the following conditions are met:

  • the company had transferred to the customer the control over the services rendered;
  • the amount of the revenue can be accurately measured;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will be directed to the entity;

If the result cannot be estimated, the revenue is recognized up to the recoverable amount.

The rental revenues from real estate investments are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

The financial revenues include interest revenue, foreign exchange revenue, dividend revenue and other financial revenue.

The interest revenues are recognized in the income statement on the basis of accrual accounting using the effective interest method. The interest revenues generated by a financial asset are recognized when it is probable that the company will obtain an economic benefit and when that revenue can be measured accurately.

The dividend revenues generated by investments are recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been determined. The company records dividend revenues at the gross amount that includes dividend tax (when it is the case), which is recognized as income tax expense.

x Accounting policies for provisions

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation.

The value recognized as provision is the best estimation that can be made regarding the amount required to settle the current obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties around the obligation.

The accounting for provisions is kept on the basis of the nature, the purpose or the object for which they were set up.

Provisions for collateral

The company makes provision for collateral when the products or services covered by the collateral are sold.

The amount of the provision is based on historical or contractual information about the collateral granted and is estimated by the share of all possible results with the probability of the realization of each.

Provisions for Risk and Expense

When identifying risks and expenses that the events that occur or are occurring make them probable and whose object is determined with certainty but whose realization is uncertain, the company hedges these risks by making provisions.

The provisions for risks and expense are constituted for items such as litigations, fines, penalties, compensations, damages and other uncertainties.

Provisions for the decommissioning of property, plant and equipment

When the initial recognition of a property, plant and equipment is estimated, the cost of dismantling, removing the item and restoring the site where it is located, as a consequential cost of using the item over a certain period of time.

These consequential costs are reflected by the constitution of a provision that is recorded in the income statement during the lifetime of the property, plant and equipment, by including it in the impairment expense.

The revision of the estimates for the decommissioning and restoration provision is determined by the annual review of the dismantling costs. The Committee of specialists from the company, appointed by decision, establishes, on a regular basis, whether the initial estimates of dismantling costs are appropriate.

AEROSTAR S.A. BACAU NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON JUNE 30th 2018

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousand lei)

Provisions for the employees' benefits

Are recognised as employees' benefits, granted according to the applicable Collective Labour Agreement, only if:

  • the entity has the legal and constructive obligation to make such payments as an outcome of past events; and
  • can be achieved a reliable estimate of the obligation.

The provisions are reanalysed at the end of each reporting period, in order to present the most appropriate current estimation.

x Accounting Policies on grants and other non-refundable funds

The subsidies are distinctly reflected:

  • government grants;
  • non-refundable subsidies in the form of grants;
  • other amounts received in the form of grants.

Grants are recognized at their approved value. Grants received as non-monetary assets are recognized at fair value.

Government grants are initially recorded as deferred revenue at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that it will be received and the Company will respect the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Company for the expenditures incurred are systematically recorded in the income statement, in the same periods in which expenses are recorded. Grants that compensate the company for the cost of an asset are recorded on a systematic basis in the income statement over the entire lifetime of the asset.

Grants related to income are recorded on a systematic basis as revenues from the periods corresponding to the related expenditures that these grants are to compensate.

In case that, during a specific period, a grant is received for expenses that have not yet been incurred, the subsidies received do not represent income for that current period. They are recognized in the accrual accounting as advance income and are resumed in the income account as the incurred expenses compensate the surplus.

x Accounting policies for the production of goods and services

The accounting of Aerostar SA is based on the applicable legal provisions and the manual of procedures and work instructions specific to the management accounting, adapted to the specific activity of the Company.

The management accounting object consists of:

  • collecting direct, indirect and ancillary costs by their nature;
  • indirect cost allocation;
  • direct and indirect costs deduction.

The purpose of the management accounting is principally to determine the result on production orders or services and on each organizational structure.

According to the accounting regulations, the following items are recognized in the cost of goods, works and services that are recognized as expenses of the period in which occurred:

a) material losses, labour or other production costs related to the scrap and the sub-activity costs;

b) general administration expenses.

The calculation method used in Aerostar SA is the method based on orders.

This method is suitable for individual and serial production. The object of highlighting and calculate the cost within this method is the order launched for a certain quantity (batch) of products. The production costs are collected directly on each order (those that are direct) or by distribution (the indirect ones).

The actual cost per unit of product are calculated upon completion of the order by dividing the production costs collected from the respective order to the quantity of products produced on the order.

The orders are launched at a planned price, as the case may be.

In the case of orders related to export sales the price is expressed in RON by converting the currency to the budgeted foreign exchange rate.

In applying the accounting policies, the Company issues procedures, instructions and work arrangements approved by the executive management.

NOTE 4 – TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

AEROSTAR considers as a functional currency the Romanian LEU and in the financial statements they are presented in thousand LEI.

The currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency at the date of the transaction.

At the end of the Financial Position Statement, the assets and financial debts denominated in currency are evaluated in the functional currency using the exchange rate, communicated by the Romanian National Bank, valid on that date:

Currency 30.06.2018
EUR (Euro) 4,6611
USD (American Dollar) 4,0033
GBP (British pound) 5,2626

The favourable and unfavourable exchange rates differences which result from the settlement of the assets and financial debts denominated in currency are recognized in the Profit or Loss Situation for the financial year in which they occur.

Considering that 84% from the turnover registered in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating costs is denominated in LEI, the foreign exchange rates variations will affect both its net incomes as well as the financial position as it is expressed in the functional currency.

In the reporting period the net currency exposure resulting as difference between the receipts of the financial assets and the payment of the financial liabilities denominated in that currency are presented like this:

st semester 2018

In the first semester, the trimestral variation of the medium appreciation of the USD/LEU currency exchange (with - 2,60% in the Ist quarter of 2018 compared to 31.12.2017 and with + 3,20% in IInd quarter of 2018 compared to 31.03.2018) has determined the reporting of a financial profit from favourable differences of exchange rate the amount of 789 thousand LEI.

Property, Plant and Equipment are evaluated at their acquisition or production costs minus cumulative depreciation and the impairment losses.

These items are amortized by the Company using the linear method.

Depreciation expenses are recognised in the profit and loss statement.

The following useful lives are assumed:

-constructions 30 -50 years
-technological equipment 4 -25 years
-vehicles 4 -18 years
-other property, plant and equipment 2 -18 years
-
investment property
25 -50 years

The useful lives are established by committees formed by Company's specialists. The useful lifetimes of the Property, Plant and Equipment will be reviewed at the end of the financial year 2018.

The fiscal useful lives of the Property, Plant and Equipment are stipulated by the fiscal legislation on assets.

The company did not purchase assets from business combinations, nor did it classify assets for future sale.

The investment property contains a number of 11 real estate – buildings and related lands which are rented to third parties based on lease contracts.

The values from lease incomes in the first semester of 2018 was of 989 thousand LEI (Ist semester of 2017: 870 thousand LEI).

At the date of transition to IFRS, the Company has estimated and included in the cost of the Property, Plant and Equipment the costs estimated with their decommissioning at the end of a useful lifetime.

These costs were reflected in the set-up of a provision, which is recorded in the profit and loss account throughout the lifetime of the Property, Plant and Equipment, by inclusion in the amortization expense.

The amortization of an asset begins when the asset is available for use (i.e. when the asset is in the location and condition necessary to operate as wanted by the management) and ends on the day when the asset is reclassified in another category or when it is derecognized.

The amortization does not end when the asset is not in use.

The land and buildings are separable assets, and their accounts are kept separately, even when they are acquired together.

The land has an unlimited useful lifetime and, therefore, is not submitted to amortization.

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 36-Depreciation of assets, the company proceeded to the identification of any signs of asset depreciation, using internal sources.

External information source

Market value (market capitalization) has registered a growth of 4 % on June 30th 2018 compared to 31st December 2017.

The indicator which offers information regarding the interest from the investors in the company listed on the capital market is the market capitalization reported to company capital (MBR).

For AEROSTAR the evolution of this indicator is presented as follows:

MBR-Market indicator to book ratio 30.06.2018 30.06.2017
Stock exchange capitalization/ equity 2,6 2,3

Internal information sources:

  • the economic performance of the assets is good, all the immobilizations in operation bring benefits to the company

-in the first semester of 2018 no changes occurred with adverse effects on the extent and manner in which the assets are used. The rotation of Property, Plant and Equipment (turnover/Property, Plant and Equipment – indicator monthly monitored) has been approximatively at the same level in the first semester of 2018 compared to the former period (1,05 rotations).

In conclusion, the Property, Plant and Equipment in the balance sheet on 30.06.2018 are not depreciated and no adjustments were made for the depreciation thereof.

The gross accounting value of the fully amortized Property, Plant and Equipment which were still in operation on June30th, 2018 is of 5.896 thousand LEI.

Adjustments for impairment of inventories (20.045) (13.556)
TOTAL 91.603 67.925
Gross inventory (unadjusted) 111.648 81.481

The inventories are assessed at the lowest value between the cost and the net realizable value.

The net realizable value is the estimated sale price for inventories minus all estimated costs for completion and the estimated costs required for the sale.

The cost of inventories includes: acquisition costs, conversion costs as well as other costs incurred to bring inventories to the state and in the place where they are currently found.

Adjustments are made on a periodic basis based on the findings of the inventory commissions and/ or the managers of the modules in order to present them at the lowest value between the cost and the net realizable value.

Within the Company, the goods are considered to be depreciated are those that are older than the storage period established by internal decision of the Board of Directors.

The total value of inventories recognized as an expense during the period is of 61.058 thousand LEI.

AEROSTAR S.A. holds inventories of Finished Products (for safety reasons) at the levels agreed through the contracts with the customers.

AEROSTAR S.A. has no pledged inventories.

Starting with January 1, 2018, with the approval of the Board of Directors, it was decided to voluntarily change the accounting policy of the output inventory valuation, from the CMP (Weighted Average Cost) to the FIFO method. The reasons for this change are:

  • x the new policy provides reliable and more relevant information on the effects of transactions on the financial position and financial performance of the Company;
  • x the change of the initial terms (characterized by significant inflation and the volatility of the exchange rate) from the application of the Weighted Average Cost method;
  • x better inventory record keeping and traceability, by batches;
  • better performance in operating the production and inventories management information systems.

From the data analysis, results the impossibility of accurately determining the effects of the change of this policy over the previous presented periods.

The estimated value of the material inventories on June 30th, 2017 recalculated assuming the FIFO method is 55.316 thousand LEI, as follows:

NOTE 17 - THE DEFERRED PROFIT TAX

The deferred tax is determined for the temporary differences which occur between tax base of the assets and liabilities and their accounting basis. The deferred tax is calculated by the income tax of 16% applicable to the temporary differences at their resumption.

The Company has estimated and registered liabilities regarding the deferred tax related to noncurrent assets (which results from differences between accounting amounts and fiscal values, the different useful lifespan, and so on) and of the reserves, and recognised receivables regarding the deferred tax related to the inventories which supported adjustments for depreciation, provisions for warranties to the customers, provisions for benefits granted to the employees and other provisions.

The structure of deferred income tax registered on June 30th, 2018 is:

Liabilities relating to deferred tax
1. Liabilities related to deferred tax generated by the differences between
accounting bases (greater than) and the fiscal ones (lower than) of the non 3.267
current assets
2. Liabilities related to the deferred tax concerning legal reserves 1.559
3. Liabilities on deferred tax related to reserves from the fiscal facility 10.005
4. Liabilities on deferred tax related to the reported result representing a
surplus realised from revaluation reserves 61
Total liabilities regarding deferred tax 14.892
Receivables regarding deferred tax
1. Receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions established in 2010 960
2. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for warranties grated to
customers established between 2014-2018
6.213
3. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for manpower benefits 132
4. Receivables on deferred tax related to the adjustments for depreciation of
the inventories
3.207
Total receivables regarding deferred tax 10.512

The Company did not recognised receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions for the aviation industry risks due to an uncertainty regarding the fiscal deductibility of the expenses which may occur from the settlement of the future periods. Therefore, the differences between the tax base and the accounting base would be null.

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is any contract generating simultaneously a financial asset for an entity and a financial liability or an equity instrument for another entity.

The financial assets and liabilities are recognized when AEROSTAR SA becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On the reporting date AEROSTAR S.A. does not hold:

  • financial instruments kept for making transactions (including derived instruments)
  • financial instruments kept till due date
  • financial instruments available for sale

The financial assets of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • cash and cash equivalents
  • trade receivables
  • trade effects received
  • immobilized receivables (third parties guaranties)
  • loans granted with interest

The financial liabilities of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • trade liabilities
  • trade effects to pay

On the reporting date AEROSTAR does not have financial liabilities concerning financial leasing, overdrafts and long-term bank loans.

The main types of risks generated by the financial instruments held, to which AEROSTAR S.A is exposed are:

  • a) credit risk
  • b) liquidity risk,
  • c) currency risk,
  • d) interest rate risk.

a) Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk that one of the parties involved in a financial instrument generates a financial loss for the other party as a result of the failure to meet a contractual obligation, related mainly to cash, cash equivalents (bank deposit) and trade receivables.

The cash and cash equivalents are placed only at first-rank bank institutions considered to have a high solvency rate.

In some cases, specific instruments of commercial credit risk decrease (receipts in advance, letters of payment bank security, confirmed export credentials).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure toward a single partner and records no significant concentration of receivables on a single geographical area.

Exposure to credit risk

The accounting value of the financial assets, net of the depreciation adjustments, represents the maximum exposure to the credit risk.

The maximum exposure to the credit risk on the reporting date was:

30.06.2018 30.062017
Cash and cash equivalents 159.938 145.932
Net trade receivables of adjustments for

Balance on 30 June 521 1.157

On June 30th 2018, 98,86% from the balance of trade receivables are related customers which have a payment history.

b) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that AEROSTAR encounters difficulties to meet the obligations associated to the financial liabilities which are settled by cash delivery.

AEROSTAR policy regarding this risk is to maintain an optimum level of liquidity so as to pay for the liabilities, as they become due.

To evaluate the liquidity risk, the treasury cash flows from operations, from investments and from financing operations are monitored and reviewed weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly in order to determine the estimated level of net liquidity modifications.

Also, the specific liquidity indicators are analysed monthly (general liquidity, immediate liquidity and rate of general solvency) against the budgeted levels.

Besides, in order to reduce the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains annually a liquidity reserve as a Credit Line (usable as an overdraft) granted by banks to a maximum limit of 2,500 thousand USD.

The time intervals used to analyse the contractual due dates of the financial liabilities, with a view to highlighting the placement of cash flows in due time, are shown in the table below:

Financial debts Accounting
value
Contractual
cash flows
0-30 days 31-60
days
over 60 days
30.06. Trade liabilities 25.853 (25.853) (20.326) (3.822) (1.705)

30.06. Trade liabilities 24.864 (24.864) (18.169) (4.673) (2.022)
2017 Trade effects 2 (2) (2) 0 0

The cash flows included in the analyses of the due dates are not expected to take place sooner or at significantly different values.

On the reporting date AEROSTAR has in its records no financial liabilities related to financial leasing, bank account overdraft and long-term bank accounts.

On June 30th 2018, AEROSTAR has no records of overdue financial liabilities.

c) Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate because of the changes in the currency exchange rates.

Exposure to the foreign exchange currency risk

AEROSTAR is exposed to the foreign currency risks, as 84% from the turnover recorded in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI.

The net exposure to the foreign currency risks of the financial assets and liabilities is presented in the basis of the accounting values denominated in currency registered at the end of the reporting period:

30.06.2018 thousand thousand thousand
EUR USD GBP
Cash and cash equivalents 1.858 1.088 4
Trade receivables 1.275 8.287 0
Trade liabilities (1.505) (2.525) (65)
Net exposure in original currency 1.628 6.850 (61)

Sensitivity analysis

Taking into consideration the net exposure calculated in the above table it can be considered that AEROSTAR is exposed mainly to the foreign exchange risk generated by the variation of the foreign exchange rate USD/RON and EUR/RON.

Taking into consideration the evolution of USD/LEU exchange rate from 2015, 2016, and 2017, a highly volatility of (+/- 10%) can be observed.

Thus, a possible reasonable variation of 10% can be observed at the end of the reporting period. The effect of the possible reasonable variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate USD/LEU over the financial result of AEROSTAR in calculated in the following table:

30.06.2018
Net exposure in the currency of origin (thousand USD) 6.850
USD/LEU exchange rates 4,00
Net exposure in functional currency 27.400
Possible reasonable variation of exchange rate +/- 10%
+/- 2.740
Effect of variation in profit and loss account thousand LEI

d) Interest rate risk

For the reporting period AEROSTAR has contracted a multi-product Credit Facility of 7.000 thousand USD, destined to financing the Company's operations, which includes:

  • 1) Product A: in the amount of 2.500 thousand USD, usable as overdraft, set up to provide at any given time the necessary financial liquidity and flexibility (liquidity reserve);
  • 2) Product B: in the amount of 7.000 thousand USD (with the condition that the sum of the use from Product A and Product B does not exceed the value of the multi-product Credit Facility), usable under the form of a facility by issuing warranties instruments to ensure the commercial contractual obligations by issuing bank warranties letters and import credentials.

The bank interest is applicable only for the overdraft utilized, within the sub-limit of 2,500 thousand USD of Product A.

As during the reporting period AEROSTAR did not use Product A, the company revenues and cash flows are independent from the interest rate variations on the banking market.

On June 30th 2018, the level of guarantees granted by AEROSTAR under commercial agreements, by issue of bank guarantee letters amounts to 2.183 MII USD (equivalent to 8.732 thousand LEI).

On June 30th 2018 no mortgages are set on the property assets owned by AEROSTAR.

Starting with January 1st 2018 the company has adopted the new standard of IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers for the accounting reports of the financial year 2018 without the restatement of the financial year 2017, due to the following considerations:

  • The impact of the new standard over the key figures of the Company is limited due to the fact that the revenues are already recognized at the delivery of the goods and/or services;
  • Exception: revenues from services performed evaluated according to IAS 18, depending on the stage of completion of the agreement, their value in 2017 being of 477 thousand LEI, revenues which were derecognized at the end of the financial year, for the purposes of early applying IFRS 15.

In the context of Cash Flows Situation:

  • the cash flows are the receipts and cash payments and cash equivalents;
  • the cash contains the money availability from banks and register.
  • the cash flows contain the deposits formed in banks and CEC-s and order tickets deposited on banks to be collected.

The cash flows provided from the transactions performed in currency are registered in the functional currency by applying over the value in the exchange currency between the functional currency (LEU) and the currency from the date of the cash flow (date of making payments and receipts).

The gains and losses which come from the exchange rate variation are not cash flows. Nevertheless, the effect of the exchange rate variation over the cash and equivalent flows detained or due in foreign currency is reported in the cash flows situation, but separately from the cash flows provided from operations, investments and financings, with the purpose to reconcile the cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the reporting period.

The operating activities are the main cash-generating activities of AEROSTAR. Therefore, in the first semester of 2018, the receipts from the customers were 158.847 thousand LEI, from which 17.131 thousand LEI represent the receipts in advance from the customers, and the payment to the suppliers and employees were in the amount of 123.809 thousand LEI.

The activity of operating has generated a net cash of 9.423 thousand LEI

To increase the operating capacity, through the acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment, 14.329 thousand LEI were used from own sources.

The value of the cash flows allocated on the first semester of 2018 to increase the operating capacity represents 9% from the aggregate value of the cash used in the framework of operating activities, of investment and financing.

As for the financing activity, the amount of 34 thousand LEI was paid, representing the tax on the dividends owed to State Budget.

NOTE 30 –RISK MANAGEMENT

AEROSTAR is exposed to many risks and uncertainties which can affect its financial performance. The business lines performed by AEROSTAR, the operational results or the financial statements, may be affected by the materialization of the risk presented further.

AEROSTAR pursues to secure the average and long-term sustainability and the reduction of uncertainty associated with its strategic and financial objectives.

Carrying out the risk management processes provides the identification, analysis, evaluation and management of risks in order to minimize their effects down to an agreed level.

However, additional risks and uncertainties can exist to the elements presented further, which are currently unknown or considered insignificant, but which may affect in the future the business lines performed by AEROSTAR.

Operational Risk

-

It is the risk of loss occurrence or of failure to make estimated profits determined by:

  • performance of certain inadequate processes, systems and manpower which failed to comply with their function
  • external events and actions: deterioration of global economic conditions, natural hazards or other events which can affect AEROSTAR's assets.

To the Operational Risk it is assimilated the Legal Risk, defined as the risk of loss, resulting the fines, penalties and sanctions of which AEROSTAR is punishable in case of non-application or misapplication of dispositions, legal or contractual regulations, as well as the fact that the rights and contractual obligations of AEROSTAR and/or of the business partner are not established correspondingly.

Monitoring and disposal of the legal risk's effects is realised through a permanent information system regarding legislative amendments, as well as by organizing an analysis, endorsement and approval system of the terms and conditions included in the commercial agreements.

AEROSTAR allocates and will continue to allocate investment expenses and other operational expenses in order to prevent and manage the operational risk.

In addition, AEROSTAR aims, through the establishment of provisions for risks and related expenses, to have its own funding to cover its risks of exposure.

Also, in order to minimize the operational risk, AEROSTAR annually renews, with companies of 1st tier insurance-reinsurance, a civil liability insurance contract related to the main business lines (manufacturing of aircraft products and maintenance for commercial aircraft).

The Credit Risk is the risk of AEROSTAR bearing a financial loss as a result of the failure to meet the contractual business obligations by a customer, being determined mainly by the cash, cash equivalents (bank deposits) and trade receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed only in 1st tier bank institutions, considered as having a high solvency.

The credit risk, including the risk of the country in which the customer operates its activity, is managed on each business partner. When necessary, specific instruments of credit risk

AEROSTAR S.A. BACAU NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON JUNE 30th 2018

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousand lei)

mitigation are requested (advance payments, letters of bank guarantee, confirmed letters of credit).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure towards a single partner and does not register a significant concentration of the turnover on a single geographical area.

The Liquidity Risk is the risk for AEROSTAR to encounter difficulties in fulfilling its liabilities-related obligations as they become due.

To manage the liquidity risk, the cash flows are monitored and analysed weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually in order to establish the estimated level of net modifications of the cash. Such reviews provide the basis for the financing decisions and for the capital expenditures.

In order to reduce the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR keeps an annual cash-reserve in the form of a Credit Line usable under the form of an overdraft granted by banks of 2.500.000 USD. During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not use the Credit Line, all the activities of the Company being financed from its own sources.

The Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial statement will fluctuate due to the modifications of the market price.

The market risk comprises the price risk, exchange rate risk and the risk of the interest's rate.

AEROSTAR is exposed mainly to the price risk determined by the fluctuations of the raw material and of the materials used in the manufacturing products.

The management of this risk is realised through:

  • diversification of the suppliers' portfolio, which offers a large palette of suppliers to negotiate the prices when they increase
  • long-term contract agreements, with provision of fixed price.

AEROSTAR is exposed to the exchange rate risk because 84% from the turnover is reported to USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI. Thus, AEROSTAR is exposing to the risk that the exchange rate variations shall affect both

its net incomes as well as its financial position, as they are expressed in LEI.

As far as the interest rate is concerned, due to the fact that AEROSTAR did not use the contracted Credit Line in the reported period, the incomes and cash flows are independent from the interest rate variation on the banking market.
