2.3. Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with the strategy and business model

SBM 3

The overall approach to the company's processes in the light of the management systems aligned to the relevantstandardsi basedontheidentificationandassessment of risksandthemanagement of the potential impact arising from the assessed risk, consistently following the principle of mitigating the level of risk and minimizing the potential negative impact, while at the same time capitalizing on the opportunities generated by the risks through improvement measures.

The major risk of not achieving the turnover forecasted in the company's strategy induces a risk of job reduction through business downsizing .As a result of careful and effective management of this risk by thecompany, jobsarein factmaintained, andin realitytheimpactis positive,in thesenseof the company's contribution to the well-being of the local communit y, through the income provided to the employees, through significant taxes and duties paid to the state budget.

Furthermore, one of the three business lines designed to ensure the attainment of the turnover foreseen in the company's current strategy aims at maintaining our company's status as a supplier of defensive aviationandgroundsystemsfor theRomanianMinistryof NationalDefence.Thus,AEROSTAR contributes tothe security of the territory and the population, which induces apositive impact on the community and an opportunity for the company to maintain its image and good reputation in the field.

Theriskof damageto theenvironment thoughthecompany'sactivitieshasa potentiallynegative impact on the people in the local community who live or work around the company's sites (head office, factories, workplaces). In order to minimize this potential negative impact, the company has adopted a robustqualityand environmental policy, it has implementedand maintainsan Environmental Management System, which complies with the requirements of the SREN ISO 14001 standard and is certified in accordance with this standard. Specific actions that lead to ensuring the effectiveness of the environmental management system and its improvement include the assurance that the environmental policy and objectives are compatible with the company's strategic context and direction.

Thenecessaryhumanresource,estimatedfora 5-yearhorizon,is animportantcomponentof our Strategy and an integral part of it. The company's risk of failure to assure its qualified human resource actuallyinducesopportunitiesandpositiveimpactfor thelocalandregionalcommunit y, as it is expected that the workforce will be sought primarily in these communities. These considerations lead us to support the communities' right to education andculture and underpinour initiatives and actions to support the development of vocational school education, as well as technical secondary and university educationinthegeographical area,includingdualeducation, thusensuringa positiveimpactonthe communities.

Anothersignificantriskthatcontributestotheadaptationof thebusinessstrategytothechanging contextual aspects and the assessment of impacts is the risk of image or reputational risk.

3. IMPACT, RISKAND OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT

3.1. Double Materiality (Significance)

Impacts,risksandopportunitiesrelatedto environmental, socialandgovernanceaspectshavebeen identifiedandassessedinlinewiththeESRSstandardsandtheimplementatio nguideIG 1 -Materiality Assessment.

The connection between the identified impacts, associatedrisks and opportunities is presented for each theme/sub-theme separately in Chapter II Sustainability Statement.

3.2. Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities IRO -1

In line with the methodology presented previousl y, in our analysis we took into account the following aspects:

Trends in the market in which we operate, contextual aspects, company priorities in relation to strategy, business model and stakeholder requirements.

Analysisof sustainabilityissuescoveredby thethematicESRS:climatechange,pollution, waterandmarine resources, biodiversityandecosystems, biodiversityandecosystems, circular economy,ourownworkforce,valuechainworkers,adequat ecommunities ,consumer sandendusers, business conduct and value chain analysis.

Identification and analysis of other matters of interest to the company Analysisandassessment of actualorpotentialmaterialimpacts(aspects)andtheirseverity, identification of risks and opportunities and potential financial effects. Analysis of the results through final consultation.

Evaluationof theanalysis,preparationof thedoublesustainabilitymatrix,interpretationof results and setting of targets.

Each aspect has been documented, according to its importance, ina working document produced for this project. The criteria for assessing impacts and determining their materiality are based on the IG 1 - MaterialityAssessmentImplementationGuide and take into accountthe magnitude,scope, irremediabilit y, likelihood and severity of the impacts.

Thecriteriaforassessingtherisksanddeterminingthematerialityof thefinancialimpactsconsider severity levels in terms of magnitude and probability levels. Financial effects refer to effects that may affectperformance, financialposition,liquidity, accessto capitalandcostof capital.Reputational damage may generate financial effects.

The results of the analysis have been recorded in the working document and will be subject to periodic review.

We consider this assessment to be important in the company's strateg y, objectively analysing both our needs and the likelihood of generating impacts through our own activities.

We alsoaimto holdregularmeetingsthroughout2025where,basedon thecurrentneedsof the company and cross-checked against the list of aspects presented in this report, we will make updates or changes, as appropriate.

These areas of interest are top priorities for our compan y.

End User Domain - The safety of our products

is a priority for the company and is closely linked to our company 's adherence to quality standards and continuousimprovement. Oneof thestrategicobjectivesof AEROSTAR is to makeproductsand provide services that offer full safety for our end users.

Own Workforce Domain - Health and safety at work

are key matters for AEROSTAR. We are committed to providing a working environment in which all employees can perform their activities in a safe and healthy manne r. This involves implementing and maintainingsafetyprocedures, providingadequatetrainingto preventaccidentsandconstantly improving working conditions.

No detailed breakdown of the anticipated financial effects in monetary terms has been made for the year 2024, and the monetary forecasted risks will have to be validated during the year 2025, following an extensive monitoring and analysis to be carried out for the two priority areas.

9. APPENDICES

Appendix 1

Report in accordance with Article 8 of (EU) Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council (" Taxonomy Regulation")

1. INTRODUCTION

In 2023, the European Commission published a delegated act for the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which includes aset of specific criteria for the aviation sector. This initiative recognizes the decarbonization potentialof thelatestgenerationsof commercialaircraft.Thispotentialis manifestedthroughthe replacementof thecurrentfleetandanambitiousincreaseintheuseofSustainabl eFuels(SAF),aswell as "zero direct tailpipe CO2 emissions" technologies".

Technical Screening Criteria

TheTechnicalScreeningCriteria(TSCs)havebeenprogressivelydevelopedin linewiththesix environmental objectives set by the Climate Delegated Act (applicable from January 1, 2022) and the complementary Climate Delegated Act (applicable from January 1, 2023). TheEuropeanCommissionhasadopteda delegatedacttargetingeconomicactivitiesthatcontribute significantly to other environmental objectives and has amended the Climate Delegate dAct by adding additional economic activities and criteria, including in the aviation secto r.

Disclosing the regulations

TheEuropeanUnionTaxonomyisdesignedtoestablishalistofeconomicactivitiesthatareconsidered environmentallysustainable. This taxonomyis definedin accordancewiththe(EU) Regulation 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council, known as the 'Taxonomy Regulation'. The information disclosed must be in line with Article 8 of this Regulation, which requires companies to disclose how their activities contribute to the environmental objectives set by the EU. In addition, the EuropeanCommissionDelegatedRegulation(EU)2021/2139specifiesthetechnical screening criteria fordeterminingwhetheraneconomicactivitycontributessubstantiallytoclimatechangemitigation andadaptation. The(EU)DelegatedRegulation2023/2486extendsandupdatesthesecriteriato includeneweconomicactivitiesandtoensurecompliancewiththelatestEUenvironmental objectives.

The Taxonomy focuses on six major environmental objectives, each with specific sets of criteria that mustbemetforaneconomicactivitytobeclassifiedasenvironmentally sustainable. To bealigned withthe Taxonomy, aneligibleactivitymustcomplywiththecriteriaof Substantial Contributionto Multiple Objectives, the DNSH criteria and the minimum safeguards.

2. ASSESSING THE ACTIVITIES AND THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TAXONOMY

AEROSTAR has madea detailedanalysisof the exposureto taxonomy-eligibleactivitiesin accordancewiththeapplicabledelegatedacts.In addition,it hasassessedthecompliancewiththe relevant Technical Screening Criteria (TSC), including the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) criteria

andtheminimumsafeguardsrequired.Thereviewof theeconomicactivitieswascarriedoutin consultation between the financial and technical departments, and the assessment process included an overall analysis of our contribution to the climate change mitigation objective.

Eligible economic activities

Thecompany'sactivitiesidentifiedaseligiblefor taxonomyarethosedescribedin theTechnical Screening Criteria, as per paragraph 3.21, relating to aircraft manufacturing - described as "manufacture, repair,maintenance, overhaul,overhaul,reconditioning, design,conversionand modernizationf aircraftandaircraftpartsandequipment", inaccordancewithNACEcodesC30.3 and C33.1.6.

According to the technical screening criteria for "Aircraft Manufacturing", thesubstantial contribution to climate change mitigation can be assessed in two ways: a) for aircraft with "zero directailpipe CO2 emissions" or b) for aircraft meeting the performanceriteria for CO2 emissions set out in the ICAO standards. Given that the ICAO standard only applies to commercialircraft and that alignment with thisstandardwill be reportedfrom2025onwards,whichmeansthataircraftmanufacturers and operatorsneedto ensurethattheirfleetscomplywiththeserequirements in orderto contributeto climatechangemitigation,theassessmentof alignmentagainsthesecriteriais onlyrelevantfor commercial aircraft products.

Thecompany'sEU taxonomyreportingcoversthefollowingscope:theEU taxonomy'sshareof turnover,capitalexpenditure("CapEx")andoperatingexpenditure("OpEx")andtotalassets.We valued and allocated turnover , CapEx, OpEx and total assets through a process of correlation between theactivitiesspecifiedin theEU Taxonomyandourinternalportfolioof revenues,investmentsand expenses. InthecontextofEUTaxonomyreporting, thecompanymayomiteconomicactivitiesthatdo not exceed 1% of total turnover , CapEx, OpEx or total assets, as they are deemed not to have a material impact on the reporting purpose.

As a manufacturer of partsandsubassemblies for theaviationindustry, as wellas a providerof maintenance and repair services, the majority of the company's revenue, CapEx, OpEx and total assets arerelatedtotheAircraftManufacturing business.Asthe"AircraftManufacturing" activitycontributes to climatechangemitigation,it canalsocontributeto therestof theenvironmental objectives.The companyhasassessedthiscontributionto anyotherobjectiveasbeinginsignificantfor reporting purposes and is therefore reporting the contribution to climate change mitigation onl y.

In linewiththerequirements setfor Activity3.21 AircraftManufacturingregardingthesubstantial contribution toclimate change mitigation, the company has identified the following relevant aspects that prevent the compliance with the technical selection criteria:

Compliance with CO₂ emission requirements: At the time of reporting, the company is unable to determine the proportion of aircraft meeting the CO₂ emission metric specified in the ICAO standardasspecifiedin point(b)of thetechnicalselectioncriteria.Theabsenceof official certificationof CO₂ metricvaluesor a declarationof compliancewiththerequirements prevents a full assessment of eligibilit y.

Calculation of aircraft replacement rate :To date there is no officially published indicator on the replacement ratio and the company does not have a database with the necessary information to calculate this indicator as required by the EU Taxonomy.

Despite theseconstraints,he companyreaffirms itscommitment tosustainabilityandcompliancewith theapplicableregulations. Thecompanywillcontinueto monitorthelegislativedevelopmentsand assessits businessactivitiesin orderto alignwiththerequirementsof theEU Taxonomy.The Company expects the reporting to evolve as additional information required for the analysis becomes available as described above. Future guidance on the EU Taxonomy may result in updated definitions and further decisions on the reporting obligations.

Financial statements are drawn up and reported in thousands of lei and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand lei. Due to rounding, the numbers presented do not alwaysaccuratelyreflectthetotalsprovidedandthepercentagesdo notalwaysaccuratelyreflect absolute figures.

The financial statements are drawn up on the basis of historical cost. The financial statements are presented inaccordance with the requirements of IAS 1 Presentation of FinancialStatements .

3.2. Accounting policies applied

AerostarSA describestheaccountingpoliciesit appliesin thenotesto theindividual financialstatementsandavoidsrepeatingthetextof thestandardunlessit is considered relevant to the understanding of the contents of the note.

The most significant accounting policies are presented below:

Accounting Policies regarding property, plant and equipment

TheCompanyhaschosenasitsaccountingpolicythecostmodel.Afterrecognitionasanasset, property,plantandequipmentis accountedfor at costlessaccumulateddepreciationandany accumulated impairment losses.

Thedepreciableamountis allocatedona systematicbasisovertheusefulifeof theassetand represents the cost of the asset less the residual value.

Given thespecificnature of thebusiness andthe typesof fixedassets intheCompany assets,the residualvaluesof thefixedassetswereconsideredto beinsignificant. In practice,theresidual valuehasbeencalculatedat thelevelof thecountervalueof recoverablescrapmetal,after deduction of dismantling, disassembly and sale expenses.

Thedepreciationmethodsandusefulifetimesarereviewedatleastattheendof eachfinancial year and adjusted accordingly. The usefulifetimes are determined by committees made up of the Company's specialists. Any change to them is accounted for prospectively. Subsequent expendituresrelatedto anitemof property,plantandequipmentareaddedto the carrying amount of the asset when:

  • they result in an improvement of the initial technical parameters;
  • they are sources of future economic benefits materialised by additional cash flows in excess of those originally estimated; and
  • they can be measured reliably.

Benefitsare obtaineddirectlyby increasingthe revenuesand indirectlyby reducingthe maintenance and operating costs.

All otherepair and maintenance expenses made to ensure the continued use of the property, plant andequipmentarerecognisedin thestatementof profitor losswhentheyaremade.Theyare made in order to maintain the initial technical parameters.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

The spare parts are generally accounted for as inventories and recognised as expenses when used up. If thesparepartsandserviceequipment, havingsignificantvalues,canonlybeusedinconnection with an item of property, plant and equipment, they are recognised as property, plant and equipment if the original purchase value (when put into service) of the replaced part can be determined. Indecidingwhethertorecogniseseparatecomponents, eachcaseis analysedindividuallybased on professional reasoning.

Theproperty,plantandequipmentunderconstructiontobeusedin productionoradministrative activitiesis presentedin the statementof financialpositionat cost less any accumulated impairmentloss.Suchassetsareclassifiedin therespectivecategoriesof property,plantand equipment when they are completed and ready for use in the manner intended by management for the stated purpose.

The top management of the Company has set a ceiling for the capitalization of assets of 2.500 lei. All acquisitions below this amount will be considered as expenses of the period. Exceptions:Computersare consideredto be depreciableproperty,plant and equipment irrespective of their entry value and will depreciate over their usefulifetime as determined by the ReceivingCommittee. Furthermore, theworktoolsanddevicesareaccountedforasinventories and recognised as expenses of the period when they are used up, irrespective of their entry value, taking into account the fact that they have a useful lifetime of normally less than one year as well as their degreeof specialisation(they are intendedto be used for a specifictype of product/service).

In thecaseof internallygeneratedintangibleassets,theimplementationphasesareclearly separated, namely:

Research phase. Research costs are treated as expenses of the period; Developmentphase.Developmentcostsarerecognisedasanintangibleassetif the following conditions are demonstrated:

  • technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it is available for use or sale;

  • availabilityof adequateresources- technical,financial,human- to completethe development;

  • intention to complete and use or sell the intangible asset;

  • ability to use or sell the asset;

  • how the asset will generate future economic benefits;
  • ability to assess the costs.

If the Company cannot distinguish between the research and the development phase of an internal projectocreateanintangibleasset,theCompanyshalltreathecostsof theprojectasincurred exclusively in the research phase.

The Company has chosen as its accounting policy the cost model that requires intangible assets to be valuedat net book valueequalto theircost less the accumulateddepreciationand any impairment losses recorded in relation to those assets.

An investmentpropertyis initiallyvaluedat cost,includingany otherdirectlyattributable expenses. After the initial recognition, the Company has opted for the cost-based model for all its investment property in accordance with the provisions of IAS 16 for that model. Transfers to and from the investment property category are made if and only if there is a change in its use.

Transfersbetweencategoriesdonotchangethecarryingamountof thepropertytransferred, nor do they change the cost of that property for the purpose of assessment or disclosure.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

Investment property depreciates by to the same rules as property, plant and equipment.

In the category of financial fixed assets, the following are recorded:

  • Shares held in affiliated companies;

  • Other non-current securities;

  • Long-termloansandtheinterestthereon.Thiscategoryincludesamountsgrantedtothird parties under contracts on which interest is charged in accordance with the law;

  • Other fixed receivables and related interest. This category includes collaterals, deposits and securities deposited with third parties, and claims relating to leasing contracts.

Financial fixedassets areclassifiedon initialrecognitionas subsequentlyvalued atamortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or fair value through profit or loss, as appropriate.

Theclassificationof financialassetsoninitialrecognitiondependsonthecontractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and the entity's business model for managing them.

Accounting policies for inventory items

The entry of inventories is recorded in the accounts at the date of transfer of the risks and benefits. Thecalculationof thosestockswhicharenotusuallyfungibleandof thosegoods,productsor services is determined by specifically identifying their individual costs. Whenstocksandfungibleassetsaredisposedof, theyarevaluedandenteredin theaccounts using the FIFO method.

Periodically, the Company's management approves the level of normal technological losses. Inventory accounting is kept quantitatively and by value, using the perpetual inventory method. Value adjustments are made for current assets in the form of inventories for each reporting period, basedonthematurityof theinventories, thefindingsof theinventorycommitteesand/orprofit centre managers, in order to present the assets at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Accounting policies on company liabilities

The Company's liabilities are recorded in the accounts payable. Accounts payable to suppliers and other payables shall be kept by category and by individual natural or legal person. Income tax payable/receivable is recognised as a liability to the extent of the amount unpaid. Excise dutiesandspecialfundsincludedin pricesor tariffsareenteredin theaccountsonthe corresponding accounts payable without going through the revenue and expenditure accounts. Operationswhichcannotberecordedseparatelyin thecorrespondingaccountsandforwhich furtherclarificationis requiredarerecordedina separateaccount473"Settlement ofoperations awaiting clarification".

Foreign currency payables are recorded in the accounts in both RON and foreign currency.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

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

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

All other liabilities are classified as long-term liabilities.

Liabilities that are due in more than 12 months are long-term liabilities. Theyarealsoconsideredlong-terminterest-bearing liabilitiesevenwhentheyareduewithin12 months of the date of the financial statements if:

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

b) thereis a refinancingorreschedulingagreement thatis enteredintobeforethedateof the financial statements.

Accounting policies for company receivables

Receivables include:

  • tradereceivables, whichareamountsduefromcustomersfor goodssoldor services rendered in the normal course of business;
  • trade notes to be collected, instruments of third parties;
  • amounts due from employees or affiliated companies;
  • advance payments to suppliers of trial assets, goods and services;
  • receivables related to staff and the State budget.

Receivablesarerecordedon an accrualbasis,in accordancewiththelegalor contractual provisions.

Customeraccountsarekeptbycategory(internalcustomers, servicesandproducts,andexternal customers, services and products) and by individual natural or legal person. Receivablesin foreigncurrency,resultingfromtheCompany'stransactions, arerecordedin the accounts both in lei and in foreign currency.

Whena receivablefroma customerhasnotbeencollectedin full whendueas statedin the contract,anallowanceforimpairment isrecordedatthetimesandpercentagesapprovedby the Board of Directors in the Accounting Policy Manual.

Accounting policies on revenue recognition

Revenueis recognisedin theCompany'sprofitor lossstatementwhenan increasein future economicbenefitsassociatedwithan increasein an assetor a decreasein a liabilitycanbe measured reliably. As a result, revenue recognition occurs simultaneously with the recognition of an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

Revenueincludesbothamountsreceivedor receivableon ownaccountandgainsfromany source.

Revenue is classified as follows:

Revenue from operations;

Financial revenue;

Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis.

Syntheticrevenueaccountsaredevelopedon analyticalaccounts,accordingto theaccounting regulationsin force(generalchartof accounts)andaccordingto theCompany'sownneeds, approved by the Company's top management.

Revenueis valuedatthefairvalueof theconsiderationreceivedorreceivable. Salesrevenueis diminished for returns, trade discounts and other similar rebates.

Revenue from operations includes:

  • revenuefromsalesrelatedto contractswithcustomers(of goods,services,merchandise, residual products);
  • income related to the cost of stocks of products;
  • income from the production of fixed assets;

  • incomefromthe reversalof assetadjustmentsor fromthe reductionor reversalof provisions;

  • other revenue from operations.

Revenue from contracts with customers irecognised inaccordance with IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'. A customer is a party that has entered into a contract with the Company to obtain goods and services arising from the Company's regular activities.

Revenuerecognitiondescribesthetransferofcontrolovergoodsandservicestocustomers, and the measurement of revenuereflectstheconsiderationto whichtheCompanyexpectsto be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.

Such control includes the ability to prevent other entities from determining the use of the asset and deriving benefit from it. The benefits of an asset are the potential cash flows that can be obtained directly or indirectly from using, selling or holding the asset.

Revenue recognition is the result of going through the following five phases:

  1. Identifying the contract with a customer

The Company recognises a contract with a customer only if the following conditions are met:

  • a) the parties have approved the contract and agree to honour their obligations,
  • b) theCompanycanidentifytherightsof eachpartywithrespecttothegoodsandservices transferred,
  • c) the Company can identify the terms of payment for the goods and services transferred,
  • d) thecontracthascommercial substance(i.e.it changestherisk,timingandamountof the entity's future cash flows)

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

  • e) it is probablethattheCompanywill collecttheconsiderationto whichit is entitledin exchangeforthegoodsandservicestransferredtothecustomer.Thisinvolvesassessing the customer's ability and intention to pay the consideration when due.
    1. Identification of obligations arising from the contract

A contractincludesobligationsto transfergoodsor servicesto a customer.An obligationto transfer a good or service is separable if it satisfies all of the following conditions:

  • (a) the customer can benefit from the transferred good or service separately or in combination with other resources at its disposal; and
  • (b) the entity's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is identifiable separately from other promises in the contract.

TheCompanyhasnotidentifiedanytypesof contractswithseparableobligations. Inthecaseof performanceguarantees, theyarenotanadditionalserviceandas suchtheydo notrepresenta separate obligation.

  1. Determination of the transaction price

Thepriceof theCompany'ssalestransactionsis notadjustedfortheeffectof thetimevalueof moneyastheCompanydoesnothaveanysupplycontractswithasettlement terminexcessof one year or containing a significant financing component.

For contracts entered into by the Company, the price is negotiated and remains firm. Renegotiated contractamendmentsareeffectiveprospectivelyfromthedateof renegotiationfor subsequent orders,consideringthat the performanceobligationis separateand not partof a single performance obligation that is partially fulfilled at the date of the contract amendment.

  1. Allocation of the transaction price between the obligations generated by the contract

If a contractcontainsseveralseparateobligations, theCompanyallocatesthetransactionpriceto eachobligationin proportionto its individualprice.The bestrecordfor thepriceof each individual obligation is the price for which the good or service is sold separately by the entity.

  1. Revenue recognition at a specific point in time or as the Company fulfils the obligation

If theCompanyreasonablyexpectsthattheeffectsonthefinancialstatementsfora portfolioof customerswithsimilarcharacteristics willnotbemateriallydifferentfromthosedeterminedby applying the standard to individual contracts within that portfolio, then the contracts are analysed together.

Thetimingof revenuerecognitionresultsfromcorrelatingthespecificcontractprovisionswith the provisions of IFRS 15.

Rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straightline basis over the term of the lease in accordance with IFRS 16.

Financeincomecomprisesinterestincome,foreignexchangeincome,dividendincomeandother finance income.

Interestincomeis recognisedin theincomestatementon an accrualbasisusingtheeffective interest method. Interest income arising on a financial asset is recognised when it is likely that an economicbenefitwill be obtainedby theCompanyandwhenthatbenefitcanbe measured accurately.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder'sight to receive payment has beenestablished. The Companyrecords dividend icome onagross basisincludingdividend tax (when applicable), which is recognised as a current expense.

Accounting policies on provisions

Provisions for guarantees

The Company sets aside provisions for warranties when products or services covered by warranty are sold.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

The value of the provision for warranties granted is based on historical, contractual or reasonable estimates for products/services first performed in the Company.

Provisions for risks and charges

Whenrisksandexpensesareidentifiedwhicharelikelytobeincurredasa resultof eventsthat haveoccurredor arein progressandthepurposeof whichis preciselydeterminedbutthe realisation of which is uncertain, the Company covers these risks by making provisions.

Provisions for the decommissioning of tangible fixed assets

On initialrecognitionof anitemof property,plantandequipment, anestimateis madeof the costs of dismantling, removing the item and restoring the site where it is located as a consequence of using the item over a period of time.

Thesecostsarereflectedby settingasidea provision,whichis recognisedin theprofitandloss account over the life of the item of property, plant and equipment by inclusion in the depreciation expense.

The revision of the estimates for the provision for decommissioning and restoration is determined by the annual review of the dismantling costs. The Company's committee of experts appointed by internaldecisionperiodicallyreviewswhetherthe initialestimatesof dismantlingcostsare adequate.

Provisions for employee benefits

Accounting policies for subsidies and other non-reimbursable funds Subsidies distinctly feature:

  • -government subsidies;
  • non-reimbursable loans as subsidies;

-other amounts received as subsidies.

Subsidiesarerecognisedat theirapprovedamount.Subsidiesreceivedin theformof nonmonetary assets are recognised at fair value.

Operational Risk

It is the risk to incur losses or the risk of failure to make the estimated profits, determined by:

  • the use of processes, systems and manpower that were either inadequate or failed to function properly;
  • external events and actions: deterioration of the global economic conditions, natural disaster or other events that can affect AEROSTAR's assets.

Considering the global political turmoil, in the future we may face new types of risks, which is why AEROSTAR closely monitors the main areas of conflict.

The Operational Risk is also associated totheLegal Risk, defined as the risk of loss, resulting from the fines, penaltiesand sanctionsAEROSTAR is liable to in case of non-applicationor misapplicationf legalorcontractual dispositionsorregulations, aswellasduetothefactthatthe rightsandcontractual obligationsof AEROSTARand/orof itsbusinesspartnerarenotproperly established.

The Shareholders of AEROSTAR S.A. Bacau

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Our opinion

  1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AEROSTAR S.A. Bacau ("the Company"), with the head office in Bacau, 9, Condorilor Str., identified at the Trade Register Office by the EUID Code: ROONRC.J1991001137040-R.C. Bacau and by the unique tax registration code RO 950531, which comprise the financial statement as at 31.12.2024, the statement of profit or loss, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the explanatory notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

  2. The Company financial statements as at 31.12.2024 are identified as follows:

  3. · Net Assets/Total Equity: 620.334 thousand lei,

  4. · Net profit for the financial year: 95.725 thousand lei.

  5. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of AEROSTAR S.A. Bacau give a true and fair view, in all material matters, of the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance of Romania No. 2844/2016 for the approval of the accounting regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as amended ("OMFP 2844/2016") and with the accounting policies described in the notes to the financial statements.

The basis for our opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing ("ISA"), the EU Regulation No. 537 of the European Parliament and of the Council ("Regulation") and the Law No. 162/2017 ("Law").

Our responsibilities under these standards are described in the section "Auditor's Responsibilities for an Audit of the Financial Statements" of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the IESBA Code and applicable European regulations) and with the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of financial statements in Romania, including the Regulation and the Law, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements and the IESBA Code.

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

Key audit matters

  1. The key audit matters are those matters that, in on our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period. These matters have been addressed in the context of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Audit procedures performed to address the
key audit matters:
Our audit procedures included, among
others, the following:
- We analyzed the Company's actual
liabilities under which the provisions were
recognized;
- We analyzed the professional judgments
used by the Company's Board of
Management in determining the probable
outcomes of events and quantifying
potential liabilities;
- We identified the recognition criteria as
detailed in the calculation made by the
Company during the audit period. The
recognition criteria in the financial
statements are the company's prudent and
reasonable approaches to risk in an
economy affected by the post-pandemic and
geopolitical crisis.
- We obtained from the Company's legal
department, where appropriate, its views on
the resolution of pending litigation as well
as its best estimate of the consideration
required to settle the obligations arising
from such litigation.
- We analyzed the maturity of the liabilities
on which the provisions were set aside and
their classification into short and long-term.
- We identified the completeness and
accuracy of provisions as a significant audit
risk, we reviewed the procedures performed
and discussed the criteria for recognition
with the Company's Board of Management.
2. Production in progress
Due to the specific nature of the activity,
there is a risk that over- or undervaluation
and reporting of the production in progress
may influence the result for the current
financial year of the company's activity and,
implicitly, the going concern of the
Company.
- We addressed the recognition of the
production cost in the audit period and
reviewed the criteria used by the company
for its measurement and recognition in the
financial statements (IAS-2) and found
them to be appropriate.
- We verified these recognition criteria as
detailed in the company's determination of
work in progress, we reviewed the
procedures in place and found that they
could not have significant deviations.
The measurement of work in progress was
made at the cost of production that is lower
than the net realizable value in the normal
course of business.

Other information - The Board of Directors' Report

  1. The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of other information. Such other information comprises the Board of Directors' Report, which also includes the Sustainability Report, and the Remuneration Report, but does not comprise the financial statements and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover such other information and, unless explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any assurance conclusion on it.

In relation to our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our responsibility is to read that information and, in doing so, to consider whether such other information is significantly inconsistent with the financial statements or the knowledge we acquired during our audit, or appears to be materially misstated.

With regard to the Board of Directors' Report, which includes the Sustainability Report, we have read and reported whether it has been prepared, in all matters, in accordance with OMFP 2844/2016, paragraphs 15-19, respectively 48^5-48^8, of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.

Based exclusively on the activities to be carried out during the audit of the financial statements, in our opinion:

a) The information presented in the Board of Directors' Report for the year for which the financial statements were prepared is consistent, in all material aspects, with the financial statements;

b) The Board of Directors' Report, identified as an appendix to the financial statements, which includes the Sustainability Report, was prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the disclosures required by OMFP 2844/2016, paragraphs 15-19, respectively 48^5-48^8 of the Accounting Regulations that comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards.

c) The Remuneration Report was drawn up, in all matters, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 24/2017, Articles 106-107.

Furthermore, based on our knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment, acquired during the audit, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we are required to report whether we have identified any material misstatements in the Board of Directors' Report. We have nothing to report on this matter.

Responsibilities of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board

  1. The Board of Management of our Company is responsible for an accurate preparation and presentation of the financial statements in accordance with OMFP 2844/2016, and for such internal control as the Board of Management deems necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

  2. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Management management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue operating under the going concern assumption, for disclosing, if applicable, going concern matters and the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Management has no intention to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company does not intend to and there are currently no reasons that would cause the Company to downsize or cease operations. There are no commercial or other disputes that would affect the continuity of the business, and the financial resources, working capital and labour force required to carry on an efficient business in the future are ensured.

  1. The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

The auditor's responsibility for the audit of the financial statements

  1. Our objectives consist in obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issuing an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA will always detect a material misstatement, if one exists. Misstatements can be caused by either fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate they can reasonably be expected to influence the users' economic decisions taken on the basis of these financial statements.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, we have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional scepticism throughout the audit. Our audit consisted of the following:

  3. · Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, due to either fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement caused by fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting a material misstatement caused by error because fraud may involve secret dealings, forgery, intentional misstatements, intentional omissions, misrepresentations and intentional circumvention of internal control.

  4. · Understanding 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.
  5. · Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Management.
  6. · Concluding on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Board of Management and determining, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there is a material uncertainty about events or conditions that may cast significant doubts about 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 the 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 audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease operating on a going concern basis.
  7. · Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and the extent to which the financial statements reflect the underlying transactions and events in a manner that results in a fair presentation.

  8. We communicate to the Supervisory Board, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and the main audit findings, including any internal control deficiencies that we identify during the audit.

  9. We also provide to the Supervisory Board with a statement that we have complied with the relevant ethical requirements relating to independence and that we have disclosed to them all relationships and other matters that could reasonably be suspected of affecting our independence and, where appropriate, the related safeguards.

  10. From the matters that we have communicated to the Supervisory Board, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and, therefore, represent key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report, unless the applicable law or regulations prevent public disclosure of the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we believe that a matter should not have been disclosed in our report because the public interest benefits could reasonably be expected to outweigh the adverse consequences of such disclosure.

Report on compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 (Regulatory Technical Standard on the Single European Electronic Reporting Format -" ESEF")

  1. In accordance with Law No. 162/2017 on the statutory audit of the annual financial statements and annual consolidated financial statements and the amendment of certain regulatory acts, we are required to express an opinion on the compliance of the financial statements included in the annual report for the financial year ended on December 31, 2024, with the requirements of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of December 17, 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format ("RTS requirements on ESEF").

A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence regarding the compliance of the financial statements with the RTS requirements regarding ESEF. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatement due to either fraud or error in relation to the provisions set out in the ESEF. A reasonable assurance engagement includes:

  • · obtaining an understanding of the process for preparing Digital Files in accordance with ESEF, including relevant internal controls;
  • · reconciling the Digital Files with the audited financial statements of the Company to be published in accordance with Order No. 2844/2016 as amended;
  • · assessing whether all the financial statements that are included in the annual financial report are prepared in a valid XHTML format.

We consider that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Our opinion on the compliance of the electronic format of the financial statements with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation

  1. In our opinion, based on the procedures we have performed, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the annual financial report and presented in the Digital Files have been prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the RTS requirements regarding ESEF.

LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT of the independent auditor on the Sustainability Reporting for the financial year 2024

The Shareholders of AEROSTAR S.A. Bacau

Our limited assurance conclusion

We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the Sustainability Report included in Section II "STATEMENT ON SUSTAINABILITY" of the Annual Report prepared by the Board of Directors of the Company as of 31.12.2024, for the period from 01.01.2024 until 31.12.2024 of AEROSTAR SA, ("the Company"), having its head office in Bacau, 9 Condorilor Street, identified in the Trade Register with EUID Code: ROONRC.J1991001137040-R.C. Bacau and by the unique tax registration code RO 950531.

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the AEROSTAR SA Sustainability Report as at 31.12.2024 for the period from 01.01.2024 to 31.12. 2024 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable legislative framework for sustainability reporting set out in the Order of the Minister of Finance No. 2844/2016, Chapter 71 and Order No. 85 of January 12, 2024 for regulating the aspects of sustainability reporting, including:

  • the compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards ("ESRS"), including the fact that the process carried out by the Company to identify the information presented in the Sustainability Reporting is in accordance with EU Delegated Regulation 2023/2772 supplementing Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding sustainability reporting standards (CSRD).

  • the compliance of the information disclosures regarding taxonomy, detailed in the Environmental Section of the Sustainability Reporting, with the applicable reporting requirements of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 852/2020 (referred to as the "Taxonomy Regulation").

The basis for our assurance conclusion

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information."

Our responsibilities under this standard are detailed in the "Auditor's Responsibilities" section of our report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including the International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and the other relevant ethical requirements in Romania, including Law no. 162/2017 with subsequent amendments, for our assurance engagement on Sustainability Reporting, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our company applies the International Standard on Quality Management 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive quality management system that includes documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

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

Responsibilities of the Board of Management for the Sustainability Reporting

The board of management of AEROSTAR SA is responsible for designing, establishing, implementing and maintaining appropriate performance management and internal control systems from which the information reported in the Annual Report, Sustainability Statement section, is derived in accordance with the ESRS, including the selected indicators, so that they do not contain material misstatement due to fraud or error, such as for the preparation, measurement and calculation of the selected indicators and for their presentation in the Sustainability Statement.

These responsibilities include:

  • · understanding the context in which the company's activities and business relationships take place and developing an understanding of the affected stakeholders;
  • · the identification of actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect or can be expected to affect the Company's financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to finance or cost of capital in the short, medium, or long term;
  • · assessing the extent to which the impacts, risks and opportunities identified in relation to sustainability issues are material, by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and
  • · developing methodologies and making assumptions that are reasonable in the given circumstances.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for preparing the Sustainability Report in accordance with the sustainability reporting framework required by law, including:

  • · compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS);
  • · preparation of disclosures of taxonomy information in the Environmental Section of the Sustainability Reporting in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU)

No 852/2020 ("Taxonomy Regulation");

  • · designing, implementing, and maintaining those internal controls that are considered necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Reporting without material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error, and
  • selecting and applying appropriate sustainability reporting methods as well as making assumptions and estimates about the individual sustainability information disclosures that are reasonable under the given circumstances.

The Board of Management is responsible for preventing and identifying fraud and for ensuring that AEROSTAR SA complies with the laws and regulations relevant to its activities in terms of sustainability.

Furthermore, the Board of the Management is responsible for ensuring that the personnel involved in preparing the Sustainability Reporting is adequately trained, the information systems are updated and any changes in the reporting flow cover all significant operational segments.

Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Reporting

The process that the company adopts to define, collect and report its non-financial performance data is not subject to the formal processes adopted for financial reporting. As a result, data of this nature is subject to variations in definitions, collection and reporting methodology without a consistent and accepted standard. This can lead to information that is not comparable between Companies and from one year to another as methodologies develop. The accuracy and completeness of the information presented in the Sustainability Statement is subject to inherent limitations due to their nature and the methods used to identify, calculate or estimate this information.

The auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Sustainability Report, on the selected indicators included therein, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, that the Sustainability Report is free from material misstatement due to either fraud or error and to include our conclusion in the limited assurance report.

Misrepresentations can be caused by either fraud or error and are considered material if they could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to influence the users decisions based on the Sustainability Report as a whole.

As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.

This standard requires us to comply with ethical standards and to plan and conduct the assurance engagement in such a way as to obtain limited assurance if the overall statement and the indicators selected, calculated and the Sustainability Reporting comply with the respective assessment criteria, and the methodology provided by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards(ESRS) provided by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 supplementing Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as the specific methodology applied in the Sustainability Statement.

The procedures in a limited assurance engagement differ in nature and placement over time and are narrower than those in a reasonable assurance engagement. As a result, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is significantly lower than the assurance that would have been obtained if a reasonable assurance engagement had been conducted.

Our responsibilities with respect to Sustainability Reporting include:

  • · Acquiring an understanding of sustainability reporting, but not for the purpose of reaching a conclusion on its effectiveness and outcome;
  • · Designing and performing procedures to assess whether the reporting is consistent with the company's description of it.

Our other Sustainability Reporting responsibilities include:

  • · Acquiring an understanding of the company's control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the preparation of the Sustainability Report, but without evaluating the design of certain control activities, obtaining evidence of their implementation or testing their operational effectiveness;
  • · Identifying disclosures where material misstatements are likely to occur, whether due to fraud or error;
  • · Designing and performing procedures in response to Sustainability Reporting disclosures where material misstatements are likely to occur. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement caused by fraud is greater than in the case of error because fraud may involve complicity, falsification, intentional omissions, intentional misrepresentations, or circumvention of internal control.

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements under the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (including the International Independence Standards for Accountants) (the IESBA Code), which is based on the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due diligence, confidentiality and professional conduct.

Summary and procedures performed

A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence on Sustainability Reporting.

The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on professional judgment, including the identification of disclosures where material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, are likely to occur in the Sustainability Reporting.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment and our understanding of the indicators in the Sustainability Reporting and other engagement circumstances, as well as our considerations of areas where significant misstatements could arise in obtaining an understanding of the indicators, and we considered the process used by the Company to calculate those indicators in order to determine the relevant assurance procedures in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the process or internal control over the indicators being analysed.

The procedures include, in particular, enquiries, observation of the processes performed, analysis of documents, analytical procedures, assessment of the correctness of the calculation methods and reconciliations with the supporting records.

To reach our conclusion of limited assurance on the Sustainability Reporting and selected indicators, we performed the following procedures:

  • Through our enquiries, we gained an understanding of the company's control environment and information systems relevant to the reporting of the indicators under review, but we did not assess how certain control activities were established, nor did we obtain evidence of their implementation, or test their operational effectiveness.

  • We gained an understanding of the relevant systems, processes and procedures through enquiries, analytical procedures, observation and other applicable evidence-gathering procedures.

  • We obtained the relevant calculations and breakdowns for each indicator and verified the mathematical calculations.

  • We assessed whether the structure and presentation of the Sustainability Report complies with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS);

  • We assessed whether the significant information obtained through the process of identifying the information required to be presented in the Sustainability Report is included in the Sustainability Report;

  • We compared the information contained in the Sustainability Statement in respect of the selected indicators with the detailed calculations.

  • We assessed the qualitative and quantitative information specified in the Sustainability Statement so as to obtain limited assurance that the selected indicators presented in the Sustainability Statement have been prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the reporting criteria set out in the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) provided by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 supplementing Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards sustainability reporting standards.

The procedures performed did not constitute an audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing, nor did they constitute an examination of the effectiveness of the company's internal control systems, or an examination of its compliance with laws, regulations or other matters. Accordingly, our performance of the procedures does not result in the expression of an opinion or any other form of assurance on the company's internal control systems or its compliance with laws, regulations or other matters.

Therefore, the assurance provided by our procedures should be considered in light of these limitations on the nature and extent of the procedures performed to obtain audit evidence.

A limited assurance engagement provides a low level of assurance, and is not a guarantee that an assurance engagement performed in accordance with the International Standards on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion of limited assurance as expressed.

Other aspects

This independent report is addressed exclusively to the shareholders of the Company as a whole. Our audit was conducted so that we could report to the Company's shareholders those aspects that we are required to report in a financial audit report, and not for any other purpose.

To the extent permitted by law, we do not accept and assume responsibility except to the Company and its shareholders, as a whole, for our audit, for this report or the conclusion expressed.
