The year 2024, marked by the challenges of inflation manifested in the general economic environment but also by the geopolitical developments determined by the war in Ukraine, ended with financial results close to the levels projected for this year, but we still note that the company's performance was superior to recent years.
The company "Șantierul Naval Orșova" S.A. has as its main object of activity the construction of river vessels (NACE code rev.2: 3011 "Construction of ships and floating structures"). This activity, down 9.29% compared to 2023 and carried out at the headquarters in Orsova, accounted for 76.75% of the turnover of 2024, the ships built being intended for intra-community deliveries.
In 2024, the activity with a large share in the turnover of the Agigea branch was that of river/sea ship repairs (55.18%). Of the 5 rooms in the branch's patrimony, rental solutions were found during 2024 for three of them, and the revenues from this activity accounted for 30.70% of the branch's turnover. The turnover achieved by the branch increased by 50.42% compared to the previous year, but its share in total turnover increased by 6.72% (from 13.45% in 2023 to 20.17% in 2024).
b) Stipulation of the setup date of Șantierul Naval Orșova SA
The company was established on the basis of Government Decision no. 19/10.01.1991, by transforming and taking over the patrimony of the former Orsova Shipyard, subordinated to the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications.
It is registered at the Trade Register Office under no. J25/150/1991.
In 1998, through the sale of the shares held by the former FPS, the company became a company with fully private capital, domestic and foreign.
c) Description of any significant merger or reorganization of the company, subsidiaries or subsidiaries during the financial year
In 2024, no such events were recorded.
The only merger operation, since the establishment of the company until now, took place in 2008. It is a merger by absorption: Societatea Şantierul Naval Orşova SA, jud. Mehedinţi being the absorbing company and the company Servicii Construcţii Maritime SA Agigea, county. Constanta, being the absorbed company. Following this merger, the main headquarters of the company remained in Orşova, and the former company from Agigea became a branch of the company Şantierul Naval Orşova SA. On this occasion, the company's share capital increased from RON 21,643,150 to RON 28,557,297.5, and the number of shares increased from RON 8,657,260 to RON 11,422,919, each share having a nominal value of RON 2.5/share. Since the merger and until the date of this report, the share capital and the number of shares have remained unchanged.
d) Description of assets acquisitions and/or sales:
Acquisitions and disposals of assets are described in paragraph 5.4 of this report, as well as in the NOTES to the 2024 financial statements, which are attached to this report.
e) Description of the main results of the company's activity assessment:

• as of 31.12.2024, the company's available funds in accounts amounted to 10.955.209 Lei, out of which:
The main characteristics of the year 2024, compared with the previous years, could be shortly synthesized by:
• Maintaining low demand in the river vessel segment, on which our company operates; Even if an increase in the sale prices of ships was felt, this was as a consequence of the increase in the prices of raw materials and materials on the one hand, and of services on the other. Even under these conditions, the company managed to have its entire production capacity covered for 2024.
• An increase in the activity of the Agigea Branch compared to previous years, mainly as a result of the fact that greater attention was paid to the development of the ship repair activity (the revenues from the ship repair activity became preponderant in the turnover of the branch), but also to the revival of the salanda rental activity.
• The good name that the company has on the European builders' market has contributed to a good extent in obtaining new shipbuilding orders.
Further information and comments in relation to these indicators and the company's activity are presented in paragraph 4 of this report and in the NOTES to the financial statements, which are attached to this report.
1.1.2 The assessment of the technical level of the trading company
The company's object of activity is diversified, the two offices having different but complementary roles in achieving the objectives. Thus, the activities carried out include: the construction and intracommunity delivery of river vessels (headquarters in Orșova), the rental of own barges in the intra and extra-EU space and repairs of ships belonging to third parties (Agigea branch). For shipbuilding, the company has the technical equipment and specialists necessary for this type of construction. The organizational system, the technical culture, the equipment, the technological flows specific to the construction of ships, allow, therefore, the execution and delivery of river and sea ships of various types and increased complexity.
Orsova Shipyard offers customers a wide range of products. Currently, it is possible to build any type of river cargo ship (containers, fuel tanks, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals), but also to build coastal ships and passenger ships.
The company's management has shown and continues to show a continuous concern for the modernization of production processes, by purchasing the most modern equipment specific to the naval field. Aware of the fact that the company must maintain a level of endowment corresponding to the current requirements, major investments have been made for the purchase of machines, equipment, modern equipment and work facilities for the construction of river vessels. Qualification and selection courses for employees were carried out, exchanges of experience in the country and abroad, as well as actions to modernize the existing equipment, both at the headquarters in Orsova and at the branch in Agigea. Also, competitive equipment specific to shipyards (80+25 ton electric cranes, plasma cutting machines, with numerical control, high definition, sandblasting/painting equipment, welding sources in a gas-protective environment) and IT equipment were purchased, together with the licenses and programs necessary for proper operation, high-performance ventilation systems.
If in 2013 and 2014 the modernization and expansion of the lifting and launching capacity of the Orsova slipway was carried out, the project for the repair and modernization of the Agigea slipway is currently in the completion phase.
In 2024, at the main headquarters in Orșova, high-performance, automatic welding equipment was purchased, including a micro twin welding robot, a 47 ton crane, a belt cutting machine. Also, the process of repairing and modernizing the transport and lifting facilities continued.
At the Agigea branch, an industrial hydroblasting equipment was purchased and the modernization works at the launch slipway continued.
The long and fruitful collaboration with partners from the Netherlands can be attributed to the fact that the company has sought, in a very special way, to satisfy their requirements, by rigorously achieving the imposed quality standards. A special attention is paid to the execution of the finishes, especially in the aesthetic areas.
The implemented quality assurance system is able to cope with the most modern requirements, the company being certified by LLOYD'S REGISTER QUALITY ASSURANCE; During 2019, the company also obtained the Quality System Certification in accordance with the new DIN ISO 9001:2015 standard (certificate no. 10186440 in the field of "Construction and repair of ships and boats").
SANTIERUL NAVAL ORSOVA SA has at its disposal:
Procedures : Documents control revision 1/03.03.2011
Working instructions
Purchased material/products' acceptance
The Orsova Shipyard benefits from a favorable conjuncture, a premise for sustainable development, for the following reasons:
The year 2024 marked changes in terms of the main suppliers of raw materials and materials, Thus, in the second half of 2024, the Company, due to the interruption of the activity of the company Liberty Arcelor Mittal Galați, turned to a company from outside the EU for the purchase of raw materials. As in previous years, the material base was provided mainly by ISO certified suppliers in the country, according to European norms and standards. However, when, following the commercial analyses, the quality-price ratio was more favourable to imports or intra-community purchases, the company opted for this option; We refer especially to naval sheets, stainless steel sheets, pipes, profiles. As far as intra-community acquisitions are concerned, it is mainly about those materials that are not produced in the country or for which the customers of the contracted ships have imposed a certain quality standard; We exemplify such materials: laminates and paints for river/sea ships. The transport of the ships in Germany/Holland,
depending on the delivery conditions of the contracted, was carried out on the Orsova – Regensburg segment and on the Regensburg – Rotterdam route with non-resident intra-community providers (CLASSIC CHARTER GMBH – GERMANY, VIGILIA TRADING BV – NETHERLANDS).
As there was a rhythmicity of supplies, the stocks of materials were always at an optimal level, which ensured the continuity of the activity, with no interruptions in the manufacturing process due to lack of raw materials and materials.
The main domestic suppliers of raw materials and materials, according to the value of the supplies and to their importance were:
• DUCTIL Buzău: welding consumables; • INOX METAL pipes and different profiles • PLASMASERV welding consumable • EURONERA DISTRIBUTION gloves, screens, safety goggles, filters
Just as during the previous years, the main foreign supplier of materials:
The subcontracting activity of specific operations continued in 2024, but at a higher level than in previous years. These collaborations were necessary for the proper development of the activity, referring to the activities of ship painting, metal construction, ship equipment components, ship transport, etc. Among the most important collaborating companies we list:
The turnover, on total activity, increased by 0.29% compared to the previous year. In the structure, revenues from the shipbuilding activity decreased by 9.25%, while revenues from the ship repair activity increased - by 25.3% compared to 2023. The turnover achieved was, in particular, on account of external, intra-community deliveries and services for ships built in Orșova, and internal services for ship repair activity, from the Agigea branch. However, we note an increase, compared to 2023, in the revenues made from the sale of residual products (by 335.12%) – mainly due to the recovery of waste resulting from the scrapping of some assets, but also of those made from the rental of waste (by 116.56%).
All 6 ships completed and delivered in 2024, from Orșova, were intended for delivery on the intracommunity market.
Please see below a comparative statement for the last three years, expressed in percentage of total ship delivered in the intra-community space (according to IFRS 8):
| CLIENT / BENEFICIARY | YEAR 2022 |
YEAR 2023 |
YEAR 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. (NL) | 77,07% | 38,59% | 88,71% |
| Gebr De Jonge (NL) GEFO GESELLSCHAFT FUR OEL TRANSP. (DE) BLACK SEE |
- 22,93% - |
39,49% 12,82% 9,10% |
18,29% - - |
| TOTAL | 100% | 100% | 100% |
In 2024, as in previous years, Rensen Driessen Shipbiulding B.V. held the first position in terms of delivery volume. Thus, for this company, the company completed and delivered 4 hulls and for the Gebr De Jonge company 1 hull was delivered.
The contractual payment conditions, for all these deliveries, were through the payment of initial advances from 10% to 70% and the insurance of the difference in payment through letters of credit, respectively the payment of the difference after the ships arrived at their destination.
As in previous years, the main concern of the Board of Directors and the executive management has been and will remain to find solutions so that the conclusion of commercial contracts is carried out at prices that ensure the profitability of the activity and with the guarantee of the payment of the price. This is also because in the new external conditions there can be rapid, unexpected changes, from one day to the next, on the market on which we operate.
In the new market conditions, the competition in this sector of activity is quite fierce because most of the orders come from the European Community, and the business partners have become more demanding in terms of the quality of the works. The company has a technical and technological level that meets these requirements and has a stable position among shipbuilders, which leads us to appreciate that it is capable of winning other contracts in relation to the competition.
The main competitors of the company in the ship construction and repair activity are, as in previous years:
in the country - all shipyards
abroad – especially the shipyards in China and Korea, and then Poland, Serbia, Turkey, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Ukraine.
The most important resource of society is the human resource. The company's efforts to achieve and increase production in 2024 also entailed a greater need for manpower. Thus, given the fact that the average age of employees is high and the age structure is not balanced, the company has faced and continues to face a real risk related to personnel due to the departure from the company of employees who reach retirement age. The steps taken at the level of the executive management to recruit new qualified workers in the professions of welder and locksmith were to replace those who left, especially through retirement, but also to ensure the necessary workforce for the realization of the contracted production for 2024.
As far as the company's staff is concerned, we can conclude that:
• On the one hand, there is an aging phenomenon of salaried personnel that will continue in the coming period;
• On the other hand, there is a certain decrease in the degree of qualification of the newly hired personnel, especially in the basic trades (welders and locksmiths), which will lead to the outsourcing of some metal construction works in the future, as long as there is no competition for employment;
In 2024, the number of staff decreased, by 2.08%, compared to 2023.
The average number of personnel performed for the entire year 2024 is 344 employees, compared to 337 employees in the previous year. The effective number on 31.12.2024 was 349 employees, of which 305 at the headquarters in Orşova and 44 at the Agigea Branch.
Of the total number, by sectors of activity as of 31.12.2024, the situation is as follows:
In structure, the situation is as follows:
Another grouping of the staff structure, in terms of gender, is presented as follows:
• men – 305 persons (291 in the previous year);
• women – 44 persons (53 in the previous year).
During 2024, there were 84 new employees and 79 departures; The latter left through: retirements, termination of employment contracts for reasons related to the employee's person, expiration of the individual employment contract and with the agreement of the parties, the latter being the most common.
A permanent concern of the company's management was that of continuous professional improvement of the salaried staff, maintaining health, stimulating the staff, all of which had the effect of increasing the performance at work.
At the level of the company, two trade unions are legally constituted.
The degree of unionization of the workforce is 67.34%.
As for the employees' rights in the Collective Labor Agreement, they were negotiated in such a way as to ensure the profitability of the activity, but at the same time, a balance between the two parties. During 2024, there were no conflicting elements between employees and the company's management.
Other aspects regarding the company's employees/staff are presented in the NOTES to the financial statements, which are an integral part of this report.
1.1.6 Assessment of the impact of the company's core business on environment
The environmental policy of Orsova Shipyard SA is based on the principles of precaution, prevention and correction of pollution at source. As a whole of the actions, documentation or programs that identify, describe and evaluate the possible significant effects on the environment, it is closely related both to the observance of the principles of the European directives on the respect and protection of the environment (EC Directive 2002/42/EC, SEA Directive 2001/42/EC, Habitats Directive 92/43/EC, Directive 2004/35/EC on liability for environmental damage and the DRM Directive), as well as the social and economic policy of society.
The company's environmental policy is adopted by the entire staff of the company, being periodically analyzed, in order to continuously adapt to the changes that may occur on environmental factors, given that the entire activity of the company is carried out in an area protected by law, in the area of the "Iron Gates" National Park.
Being aware of the importance of protecting the environment, in order to reduce the negative impact on it, the entire team of the company carries out its activity according to the following principles:
compliance with the Romanian environmental legislation and alignment with the European Union Directives;
mitigating the impact of the company's main activity on environmental factors;
systematic assessment of accident risks and development of prevention measures.
integration of environmental considerations in the elaboration and adoption of the company's plans and programs;
Superior capitalization of primary resources of raw materials and energy with effects on minimizing the quantities of waste, wastewater, pollutants in water, air and decreasing unit costs per ton of product;
continuous improvement of environmental aspects, especially significant ones, based on environmental management programs, the action plan (an integral part of the environmental permit) having established targets, objectives, deadlines and responsibilities;
increasing the degree of education in terms of environmental protection by ensuring the organizational framework and implementation of projects regarding wastewater disposal, waste storage (especially hazardous waste), soil protection;
The company has in operation a monitoring system of all environmental factors by authorities and specialized companies. The activity of collection and recovery, respectively disposal of waste resulting from production processes is carried out selectively, in strict compliance with the provisions of the mandatory provisions of G.E.O. 92/2021 on waste management records and for the approval of the list of waste, including hazardous waste, only through authorized companies, based on firm contracts.
The impact on the environment through the heating and hot water supply activity for the company's employees is insignificant, given the fact that the heating of our unit (the administrative center and the changing rooms) is done with the help of 8 (eight) power plants for hot water heating, with a power of 36 kw each, and one of 24 KW, of the ROMSTAL EKCO type. L1.
During 2024, the company has exactly complied with the obligations resulting from the Environmental Permit no. 21/27.02.2013, revised on 15.03.2024, valid up to date, endorsed by the National Agency for Environmental Protection Mehedinti for the period 27.02.2025 - 27.02.2026, fulfilling at the same time all the obligations imposed on it by the Water Management Authorization no. 68/01.11.2024, no event with a negative impact on the environment being reported (as evidenced by the control acts of the representatives of the environmental authorities, two during 2024, no pecuniary or coercive measure being ordered on their part).
As in previous years, in 2024 the company did not record expenses with research and development activity, and for 2025 it does not intend to make such expenses, due to the fact that – further – the technical projects of the built ships are usually provided by customers or the projects that the company bought in previous years are used with the right to use for new constructions that will be carried out in the future.
1.1.8 Assessment of company activities regarding risk management
Starting from the specifics of the company's main activity, namely the construction of ships and floating structures, as well as the fact that the company's products are sold in the community space, a series of risks can be identified. At the moment, due to the competitive environment, the sudden changes at European and global level, it is normal that the degree of exposure (vulnerability) to risks is much higher than in past periods.
At the same time, society has felt and still feels the effects of the global economic and financial crisis.
Therefore, the list of potential sources of risk could include:
As already shown, the decrease in the demand for ships accompanied by the reduction in sales prices, as a result of the global economic crisis, has directly affected the company's activity in recent years, including in 2024.
In order to overcome this difficult period, the company's management had to initiate actions and programs to help it manage costs, so as to withstand the river vessel market. This aspect, which aims to reduce costs according to the evolution of foreign markets, continues to be the main concern of the company's management.
Taking into account the estimates/forecasts regarding the evolution of the exchange rate in 2024, the company has carried out currency risk hedging operations. These derivative operations were concluded at an exchange rate above the official one of the respective period, which determined that the favorable exchange rate differences recorded in 2024 from such operations were about 227 thousand lei.
Further, the company has paid special attention to ensuring better security of the information system and database, given that the vurnelabilities of the cyber system can create significant problems for companies.
Other risk management aspects (credit, foreign exchange, liquidity) are presented in the NOTES to the financial statements, which are attached to this report.
The year 2025, analyzed both in terms of external factors related to the market and the geopolitical context, as well as internal factors (inflation, labor), is shaping up to be a difficult year.
As regards the prospects of the company's activity, the following are shown:
The company has over 31 years of experience in the field of construction and repair of river vessels; they are executed at the level of quality standards imposed by foreign customers, and the name of the company is already well known by Western European shipbuilders;
The company's activity will continue to be influenced by the uncertainties regarding the demand on the markets in which we operate;
Currently, the company has concluded contracts for 2025 that partially ensure the coverage of the production capacity at the main headquarters. The negotiations that are currently underway, for the signing of new contracts, give us the perspective of continuing the activity in the following year;
As regards the Agigea Branch, at the end of 2024 there were five hydroclap barge vessels in its patrimony, vessels that are described in item 2.1 b of this report; In 2024, three ships were leased, but it is estimated that new lease contracts will be concluded in 2025 as well, given that there is demand on the domestic market. At the same time, the branch has the necessary equipment and capacities to be able to execute ship constructions and repairs, the ship repair activity being increasing compared to previous years;
Taking into account the concluded contracts, the production structure and the evolution of salary costs and those with raw materials and materials, the company has based its Income and Expenditure Budget for 2025 on a volume of revenues at a higher level than that achieved in 2024.
Efforts will be continued to find new sources of income at the branch level but also to reduce production costs so that the company becomes more competitive;
Also, after carrying out technical and opportunity analyses, the company aims for 2025 to carry out an investment program consisting mainly of:
o Completion of the works on the modernization of the launch slipway in Agigea, respectively the replacement of the feather trolleys, which will lead to increased safety of ship liftinglaunching operations;
2.1 The land and the most important buildings and production equipment owned by the company are located, on the one hand, at the main headquarters in Orşova (4 Tufări Street, Orşova, Mehedinţi County), and another part at the headquarters of the branch in Agigea Commune, Constanta South Port Premises, Constanta County.
In 2024, there were no significant changes in their composition, the largest investment expenses were those related to the repair, replacement and modernization of the existing ones, as we have shown.
a) In Orsova, the company owns, at the administrative head-office, a total surface amounting to 85.790 sm, confirmed through excerpts of Land Register.
The fixed assets at the headquarters in Orşova are mainly formed of:
b) At the Agigea Branch, the company owned, until the end of 2024, the ownership of a plot of land, located in Constanta, with an area of 210 sqm, on which a building is built, where until 2009 was the old administrative headquarters of the company, before the merger. The company's Board of Directors decided, following the settlement of the dispute with the Constanta City Hall and the completion of the cadastral work and the registration of the property right in the Land Book, the sale of the building and the 210 sqm land, an operation completed by December 31, 2024. Currently, the branch offices are located in Agigea. The area of 57,710 sqm of land in Agigea, where the branch currently operates, is the property of the National Company "Constanta Maritime Ports Administration", and the branch has a contract for the use of the port domain with this company until 2038, but this contract contains clauses regarding the renegotiation of the tariff every 5 years and an annual indexable rent value.
The main fixed assets available to the branch are those existing in previous years, but new equipment was purchased in 2024.
As for the launch track, in 2015 a first stage of replacement of the damaged running rails was completed, in 2016 the problem of the towing system for launching ships was solved, the modernization action continuing in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, the investment plan provided for the change of the trolleys up to this hold. The 14 trolleys to be replaced were made in 2019. By the end of 2024, 9 trolleys have been changed, the replacement action being delayed due to the large volume of ship repair works and the impossibility of blocking the launch slipway to allow the trolley replacement works to be carried out.
The main facilities at the Agigea branch:
5 hydroclap boats 940 cubic meters MIDIA type (with own propulsion) - we specify that a salanda, following the decision of the administrators, was reclassified at the end of 2024 as an asset held for sale, and in February 2025 its sale was completed;

Taking a look back at the last few years in terms of dividend policy, we can conclude:
the approach regarding the destination of the net profit was different, depending on the level of profit, the interest of the shareholders and the legal provisions;
until 2009, as long as the amounts in the profit account were more significant, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved the distribution of dividends from the net profit to be distributed, which represented about 50-60% of the net profit. The value in lei/share was between RON 0.4-0.75/share. The amount, in absolute value of the gross dividend per share, was established according to the company's performance. During the entire period in which the distribution of dividends was approved, their payment was made within the deadline set by the General Meeting of Shareholders, with no delays or complaints from shareholders.
In the period 2010-2011, when the level of profit was at a relatively low level, the general meeting of shareholders decided that this amount should remain at the disposal of the company, as its own source of financing, without distributing dividends.
Between 2012 and 2013, the company recorded a loss, so it was not possible to distribute dividends.
In 2014 and 2015, the company recorded a profit, which was used to partially cover the losses of previous years.
In 2016, after covering the losses of previous years from "Other reserves", a gross dividend of RON 0.2/share was distributed from the net profit for this year, according to the Decision of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of April 7, 2017;
For the financial year 2017, a gross dividend of RON 0.16/share was approved, for 2018 the amount of the gross dividend was RON 0.22/share and in 2019 a gross dividend of RON 0.24/share was approved and distributed.
For the financial year 2020, the distribution of a total gross dividend of 1 lei/share was approved, of which RON 0.38/share distributed from the net profit of 2020 and RON 0.62/share as additional gross dividend distributed from the deferred result.
In 2021, the company does not record net profit.
In 2022, at the OGMS meeting of 24.11.2022 (OGMS Resolution no. 55), the distribution of the amount of RON 6,054,147.07, respectively a gross dividend of RON 0.53/share, from the profit reconstituted by transferring the amount from the balance at 31.12.2021 of the "Other reserves" account to the dividend account, as a result of the reversal of the distribution of the net profit approved by the OGMS in previous years, is approved.
In 2022, the company does not record profit.
In 2024, at the OGMS meeting of 21.10.2024 (OGMS Resolution no. 61), the distribution of the amount of RON 6,054,147.07, respectively a gross dividend of RON 0.53/share, from the profit reconstituted by transferring the amount from the balance at 31.12.2023 of the "Other reserves" account to the dividend account, as a result of the reversal of the distribution approved by the OGMS in previous years of the net profit, is approved.

Fixed assets: In this category of assets, in total, there was an increase of 8.32% compared to the previous year, especially as a result of the revaluation operation (for financial reporting purposes) of the construction groups, respectively ships, carried out on 31.12.2024, but also as a result of the acquisitions made for the purpose of modernizing the activity. As for tangible assets in progress, the increase compared to the previous year (by 119.58%) is mainly due to the modernization works of the launch track and some production halls, works that will be completed in 2025.
Intangible assets decreased by 48.65%; The decrease compared to the previous year is due to depreciation.
Rights to use leased assets. In 2021, the company reviewed the land lease agreement concluded with the National Company for the Administration of Ports of Constanta, and found that it meets the recognition criteria under the IFRS 16 standard. Thus, taking into account the fact that the contract concluded in 2019 contains clauses regarding the renegotiation for periods of 5 years, the company recorded an asset related to the right to use and a corresponding leasing debt for a 5-year cycle, consequently proceeding to retroactively restate the errors generated by the non-application of the standard. In 2024, the contract was renegotiated, therefore the increase recorded in this position (by 572.74)% corresponds to the right of use for the new contract period. More information regarding the application of IFRS 16 is presented in the Notes to the financial statements.
Inventories registered, overall, an increase of 25.93% compared to 31.12.2023. The preponderant delivery in 2024 of raw materials and materials related to constructions to be completed in the following year, advance payments to the raw materials supplier but also the increase in production in progress (by 5.24%), led to a higher level of stocks at the end of the year.
Trade receivables and other receivables. There is a significant decrease in trade receivables compared to the previous year (by 74.38%). At the end of 2024, the company had uncollected current receivables, and a good part of them were liquidated in the early period of 2025. Other information regarding trade receivables and other receivables can be found in the Notes to the financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents also decreased by 8.28% compared to 2023, mainly as a result of dividend payments made towards the end of 2024, respectively placements in interest-bearing deposits, We see an increase in these short-term investments by 108.05% compared to the previous year.
Overall, current assets increased by 12.85%.
More information on all these items can be obtained by consulting the Notes to the financial statements that are attached to this report.
Shareholders' equity registered an overall increase of 7.75%. In the structure, there is an increase in the result for the year (by 71.88%), but also on account of other equity items following the revaluation (by 20.23%).
The provisions are at a higher level than in 2023 (increase by 85.18%), mainly due to the provisions related to the benefits that will be granted to employees on the occasion of retirement, but also to the constitution of a provision for a dispute. These aspects are presented in detail in section 5.5.
Commercial and other debts also registered an increase of 14.83% compared to 2023, mainly due to purchases made in the last months of 2024. We mention that the company, in accordance with the contractual provisions, complies with the payment deadlines and has no outstanding obligations towards suppliers. Their balance represents current debts, due in the next period. As for the increase recorded in the position Other payables, in the long term, (by 93.37%), this refers to leasing debt. We see a significant increase in the position Revenues recorded in advance, due to the recording of revenues related to repair works completed in 2025.
Overall, equity and debts increased by 12.85%.
In 2024, the company's performance was higher than 2023, and the result of the year was above the level provided in the BVC for this year. The unfavorable evolution of the demand for the construction of new ships, river and sea, the problems that occurred in the supply chain of raw materials and basic materials, the evolution of the prices of new constructions in the conditions in which the prices of raw materials and materials, energy, gas, labor increased, were determining factors that significantly influenced the company's financial results. However, due to the prudent approach, the attention paid to optimizing production flows and increasing efficiency, the company's performance has been superior to recent years.
Thus, the turnover achieved in 2024 registered a slight increase compared to the previous year (by 0.29%), but the gross profit recorded by the company at the end of the year is in the amount of 7,541,815 lei (94.29% higher than that achieved in 2023).
The result of 2024 was positively influenced by the increase in branch activity. On the salanda ship rental segment, rental solutions were found during the year for three salands. Also, the revenues from the ship repair activity were up compared to the previous year, so that the branch's activity ended in 2024 with a profit above the budgeted level.
Compared to last year and with the provisions of the BVC, the evolution of the gross profit is as follows:
An evolution of the gross profit over the last 5 years is shown in the chart below:

We note that, both at the main headquarters and at the branch in Agigea, the result of the operational activity of 2024 is positive. As for the financial activity, it also generated profit, as we will show below.
Operating income for 2024 came from77.94% of the operating revenues for 2024 came from the main headquarters in Orsova, where 6 ships were completed and delivered (in 2023 6 ships and a pontoon were delivered), amounting to 15,392 thousand euros / 76,587 thousand lei (in 2023: 15,476 thousand euros, respectively 76,680 thousand lei, at an average exchange rate of RON 4.9757/€ (in 2023: RON 4.9536/€), compared to a rate of RON 4.98/euro taken into account when substantiating the BVC.
It is noted that the operating revenues were close to those of the previous year (increased by 0.20%) but lower than those forecast in the BVC (a decrease of 2.32%). Operating expenses, in the amount of RON 93,432,551 and in close correlation with operating income, in 2024 decreased by 2.95% compared to their level in the similar period of 2023 (RON 96,275,369). Consequently, the company records a gross profit from the operating activity in the amount of RON 7,541,815. Among the factors that determined the achievement of the indicators, we mention the volume of production completed and sold in 2024, given that the sale price of ships remained at the same level as in the previous year, and inflationary trends continued to manifest themselves on the services market. The activity carried out at the Agigea branch was at a higher level than 2023, and the result exceeded the budgeted level. Labor costs increased in 2024, but we see an increase in labor productivity during the analyzed period. Also in 2024 the company faced difficulties due to the decrease in the number of staff and the aging of the workforce, it was necessary to outsource some works, which also meant additional costs.
The ships built in Orsova were entirely destined for intra-community deliveries, respectively in the Netherlands. As for the structure/type of the ships built, it can be said that it is close to that of recent years. Therefore, in the current year (2024) the following types of ships were delivered:
At the end of 2024, we find in the production under execution 3 ship hulls, intended for delivery in the intra-community space in 2025.
The decline on the ship market recorded in previous years, as a consequence of the mutations produced on the foreign market, continued in 2024. The reduction in the volume of goods transported, and implicitly in the number of new orders, was also a result of the economic and geopolitical context that negatively influenced the activity in this market segment in 2024.
As for the Agigea branch, the main source of income was ship repairs, the revenues from this activity registering an increase of 16.25% compared to the previous year. Rental solutions were also found for 3 of the 5 rooms in its patrimony.
Other information related to the analysis of the main economic and financial indicators can be found in the NOTES to the financial statements, which are attached to this report.
COver 75% of the company's revenues are expressed in euros, coming from ship deliveries in the intra-community area. This fact determined that the company was permanently exposed to currency risk (leu/euro parity). During 2024, this parity was fluctuating, and, in order to protect itself against the depreciation of the exchange rate, the company concluded hedging transactions. The gains from exchange rate differences were recorded both from the revaluation of foreign currency availabilities and as a result of hedging transactions. At the same time, during 2024, the company placed availabilities in interestbearing bank deposits. Thus, a profit of 936,208 lei is recorded from the financial activity (in the previous year a profit of 316,996 lei was recorded). More information about those influences can be found in the Notes to the financial statements.
Having a balanced flow of receipts throughout the year, the company did not have bank loans contracted in 2024 either. Therefore, as of 31.12.2024, the company had no loans and had sufficient funds in the account to be able to support the financing of the current activity, but also that for investments, from its own sources.
Further information on financial activity can be found in the NOTES to the financial statements.
Continuing the policy of previous years, the company considered it useful to constitute depreciations and provisions for a correct reflection of the situation of tangible assets in conservation, financial assets, old stocks without movement, litigation receivables, as well as for vacations and other salary rights related to 2024 and which will be paid in 2025.
The concrete situation of these impairments and provisions, in balance as of 31.12.2024, is as follows:
-Lei-
a) For the impairment of tangible assets 130,548
b) For the impairment of financial assets
(shares held in KRITOM in Greece (Crete) 684,495
c) Provisions for holidays and retirement bonus 1,055,348
d) Inventory impairment adjustment 839,664
e) Adjustment of impairment of receivables (customers/debtors) 420,423
f) Provisions for litigation 157,952
Compared to the previous year, there is an increase in them, in absolute figures, by 228,646 lei (an increase of 7.47%). In the structure there is an increase of 15.67% in depreciation for stocks without movement, an increase of 61.07% in provisions for annual leave and bonuses granted to employees on the occasion of retirement - mainly on account of bonuses for retirement, but also a decrease in depreciation of tangible assets (by 68.87%).
As far as litigation is concerned, the provision constituted, in the amount of 157,952 lei, represented material and moral damages in the file in the file 861/274/2022, established by the court (criminal decision no. 112/2024) regarding the work accident of the employee of the company Cainiceanu Ionel.
More information about this litigation can be found in section 5.5.
Further information regarding provisions and impairment adjustments can be found in the Notes to the financial statements that are attached to this report.
5.3 Analysis of the result and net profit distribution
As of 31.12.2024, the company records gross profit in the amount of RON 7,541,815.
In order to determine the taxable profit, according to the legal provisions, the company took into account both the non-taxable income, elements similar to income or expenses, and the non-tax-deductible expenses.
Non-taxable income refers mainly to the resumption to income of provisions and depreciations that initially, at the time of incorporation, represented non-tax-deductible expenses.
Non-deductible expenses consist of sponsorships, provisions and depreciations (as presented above), social expenses that have exceeded the allowable deductible rate, fines and penalties and other expenses.
A detailed presentation of these items of income and expenditure can be found in the Notes to the financial statements, which are attached to this report.
After the tax deductions from the gross loss, calculated according to the legal norms, the following situation resulted:
In the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, to approve the financial statements for 2024, the method of distributing the net profit is to be established.
5.4 Cash flow, financial resources, investment expenses, payment of liabilities.
Depending on the concrete needs of the company, for obtaining letters of guarantee, opening letters of credit for suppliers, but also for a possible coverage of the necessary financing sources, the company also benefited in 2024 from the support of banks. Thus, the company had approved in 2023 a global multioption and multi-currency ceiling, through BRD, of 1.5 million euros, a ceiling that was used for the company's financing needs.
At the same time, the company requested, and was approved by BRD, a ceiling for currency risk coverage, in the amount of USD 2,069,000, at the same level as in 2023.
The guarantee of these ceilings was carried out with a mix of guarantees consisting of mortgages, assignments of receivables on export contracts (letters of credit open to external contracts) as well as a collateral deposit, in the total amount of EUR 406,015 as of 31,12,2024, and they are used in particular for the issuance of bank guarantee letters. Therefore, the company did not need, during 2024, bank loans, its own sources being sufficient to honor all due obligations.
On 31.12.2024, this ceiling was used in a proportion of about 10%, two letters of guarantee being issued:
• 224,567 lei in favor of the National Company Administration of Maritime Ports Constanta
• EUR 155,000 in favor of Black See.
Investment expenditure was higher than the previous year.
In absolute figures, the volume of investment expenditures amounts to RON 8,498,407 (in 2023: RON 3,467,615), of which:
6,062,698 lei at the headquarters in Orsova
2,435,709 lei at the Agigea branch
Compared to the provisions of the Income and Expenditure Budget, there is a degree of achievement of 88.35% (through the BVC an investment value of 9,619,400 lei was foreseen).
The non-implementation of the investment program is due, on the one hand, to the acquisition of some of them at a lower price than the one envisaged at the foundation of the BVC, but also to the fact that the company, due to some changes in the development strategy, has postponed the making of some investments for the next period.
At the main headquarters in Orsova, the following more important objectives were put into operation in 2024:
By purchasing this equipment, the aim was to reduce physical effort, increase work productivity, work safety, and reduce labor costs.
At the Agigea branch, out of the total expenses for this purpose, we mention the purchase of industrial hydroblasting equipment and the modernization works at the launch slipway and at one of the halls.
During 2024, asset outflows refer to the scrapping of fixed assets that could no longer be used in the production process, due to advanced wear and tear, but also to the sale of the building in Constanta. Also, one of the barns was reclassified as an asset held for sale.
During the analyzed period, the company did not contract loans for investments, all purchases of fixed assets were made from its own sources.
Throughout the year, the company ensured a financial balance, so that it honored its obligations to suppliers, working staff and to the state budget, banks and other creditors on time.
Other information (including the statement of cash flows) can be found in the Notes to the financial statements that are attached to this report.
Following the work accident on 17.04.2019, resulting in the bodily injury of the employee Cainiceanu Ionel, he filed a criminal complaint against our unit and two other individuals, the investigations carried out by the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Orşova Court ending with the indictment no. 183/P/2019 of 25.08.2022 which ordered the indictment of the Orsova Shipyard S.A. for committing in real competition, the facts provided for by the Criminal Code, mentioned in the previous paragraph.
The Orsova Court found the legality of the notification to the Court, by the Conclusion of 24.10.2022, in the Preliminary Chamber, of the indictment no. 183/P/2019 of 25.08.2022 of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Orşova Court, in the case 861/274/2022, and Mr. Cainiceanu Ionel was constituted as a civil party against our unit.

After the trial of the case, on 09.01.2025, the company was notified of the criminal decision no. 112/2024, pronounced on 24.12.2024 in the file 861/274/2022. The court ordered:
At the Agigea branch, several actions from previous years are underway, in various phases, in which our company is a plaintiff. The amounts in question are insignificant and relate in particular to trade receivables, for which the debtor companies are in the process of completing the insolvency or bankruptcy procedure. For all these uncollected receivables, impairments were constituted at the time of ascertaining the debtor's inability to pay. We mention that the Court of Appeal of Constanta is retrial, for the second time, the appeal filed by a former employee of the branch, having as object claims (moral damages and prejudice regarding the unrealized income and the related legal interest).
Regarding the work accident, which occurred in August 2022, and as a result of which two employees of the company died, investigations are still being carried out by the competent institutions regarding the causes and conditions in which the explosion that led to the death of the two people occurred.
Also in 2024, the company continued to implement measures aimed at preventing the occurrence of such events, specific equipment was purchased to eliminate gas accumulations in closed spaces, staff retraining was carried out on the obligation to check gas concentrations in closed spaces where work is carried out, with a special emphasis on increasing the awareness of working personnel.
The annual inventory of assets and liabilities for 2024 was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Order of the Ministry of Finance no. 2861/2009 and the Manual with the inventory procedures developed at the company level. To this end, internal decisions were issued to set up the central commission and, respectively, inventory subcommittees for all the management within the company, from the headquarters and the Agigea branch. At two of the administrations located at the headquarters, at the same time as the annual inventory, the handover-receiving management operation was also carried out;

IAS 16.73 (a) (i) Recognition and evaluation
Tangible assets are initially measured at cost, (those purchased from suppliers) or if the input value received as a contribution in kind to the establishment of share capital or increase of share capital.
For subsequent recognition of plant, naval means of transport and investment properties, the company has opted for the revaluation model (fair value model).
117(a)

Increases of the tangible non-current assets' value resulting from these revaluations were initially credited to revaluation reserves and thereafter, except for the reevaluation made under GD. 1553/2003, in equity, in accordance with the respective government decisions. GD 1553/2003 foresaw the need to adjust the index value by comparing the utility value and market value.

On 31 December 2007, the Company has not proceeded to review the value of fixed assets at the Orşova headquarters, instead Agigea Branch conducted a revaluation of fixed assets from the structures and ships category, before the merger, for the old company: SC Servicii Construcţii Maritime SA Agigea. During the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 were recorded entries in the technological equipment category and other intangible assets category which led to a presentation in the financial statements, of the assets from these categories both at historical cost indexed in accordance with government decisions (" GD "), which have been applied to date, as well as historical cost.

117(a)
With regard to the accounting treatment of revaluation differences, it was in accordance with IAS 16, as follows:
The method of reflecting the revaluation in the Company's accounting was that of eliminating the depreciation from
the book value of the assets. The revaluation surplus amount was credited to the revaluation reserve balance for those objectives whose fair value was greater than the net carrying amount, and for the other objectives for which the fair value was less than
The net carrying amount was reflected by the decrease in the revaluation surplus that existed previously, i.e. the allocation of operating expenses in the case of objectives for which a revaluation reserve had not previously been recognised or the recognised reserve was insufficient to cover the decrease.
The maintenance and repairs of tangible assets are passed on to expenses when they occur, and significant improvements made to tangible assets that increase their value or lifespan, or that significantly increase their ability to generate economic benefits are capitalized. Fixed assets of the nature of inventory objects, including tools and tools, are recorded as expenses at the time of acquisition and are not included in the book value of tangible fixed assets.
(ii) Reclassification to investment property
The transfer to or from investment properties shall be made if, and only if, there is a change in use.
(iii) Depreciation of tangible non-current assets
Depreciation is the equivalent to irreversible impairment of an asset, as a result of normal use, natural factors, technical progress or other causes. Fixed assets' depreciation shall be accounted as an expense (recognized in profit or loss).
117(a)
The company uses straight-line depreciation method for all tangible assets owned, by dividing the book value equally, over its useful life. The depreciation method is applied consistently to all assets of the same type and with identical conditions of use. If tangible assets are placed in conservation, the company did not account the depreciation expense, instead at the end of the period, the company will record a corresponding expense adjustment for the impairment of the asset. The degree of impairment will be determined as much as possible by a certified evaluator. A significant change in the conditions of use of tangible assets or aging may justify a revision of the useful life. Also, if the tangible non-current assets are placed in conservation (their use is discontinued for a long period), the useful life can be revised.
The residual value and service life shall be reviewed at least at each financial year end.
Depreciation is calculated on the fair value, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
| Asset | Years |
|---|---|
| Constructions | 5 - 45 |
| Equipment | 3 - 20 |
| Other equipment and furniture | 3 - 30 |
Lands are not a subject of depreciation, as they are deemed to have an indefinite life. The management continually evaluates the development plan. The effect of lifetime review, based on GD. 2139/2004, was reflected in the depreciation expense in the year 2005 and in future periods in the amount of depreciation expenses without any temporary differences.
The account value of a fixed asset shall be derecognised:
when disposed, or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of a fixed asset shall be included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. Gains shall not be classified as revenue.
IAS 1.112(a) 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 117(a)
d. Intangible Assets
Costs for the development or maintenance of computer software programs are recognized as an expense when they occur. Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique products, controlled by the Company and will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs for a period longer than one year are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the development team staff costs and an appropriate proportion of overhead expenses.
Expenditure which results in extending the useful life and increasing the benefits of software over the initial specifications are added to the original cost. These costs are capitalized as intangible assets if they are not part of tangible assets.
(ii) Other intangible assets
All other intangible assets are recognized at cost.
Intangible assets are not revalued.
Software development costs capitalized and they are amortized using the straight-line method over a period between 3 and 5 years.
(ii) Other intangible assets
Patents, trademarks and other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life. Software licenses are amortized over a period of 3 years.
IAS 1.112(a) 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 117(a)
At the beginning of the contract the company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease clause. The company recognizes a right to use the asset and a lease liability in relation to all leases in which he is a lessee/user, except for short-term contracts (defined as leasing with a lease term of 12 months or less) and rental of low value assets (such as licenses, oxygen tubes, mailbox, etc.). For these leases, the company recognizes the lease payments as operating expenses on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.
The lease debt is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the start date, discounted with the implied interest rate in the lease.
If this rate cannot be easily identified, the Company uses the NBR's monetary policy interest rate. The lease debt is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the start date of the contract, discounted using the interest rate.
The leasing debt is presented as a separate line in the financial statement.
Lease liabilities are subsequently discounted by increasing the carrying amount to reflect the amount of the revalued lease debt and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company shall revalue the lease liability (and make an appropriate adjustment to the right to use the asset) when:
The lease term has changed, in which case the lease debt is revalued by updating the lease payments.
The lease is amended and the change in the lease is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is revalued based on the terms of the amended lease by updating the revised lease payments using an updated interest rate on the effective date of the change.
The rights to use the assets comprise the initial valuation of the corresponding lease debt, the lease payments made on or before the start day, less the lease incentives received and any upfront direct costs. Subsequently, they are measured on the basis of cost minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The rights to use the assets are amortized during the lease period of the underlying asset.

An investment property is a real property (land or a building - or part of a building - or both) owned rather to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than:
(a) used for production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
(b) to be sold in the ordinary course of business.
For the evaluation after recognition, the company uses the fair value model, this accounting treatment has been applied to all investment properties.
A gain or loss arising from a change in fair value of investment property shall be recognized as an income or as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income for the period.
In determining the fair value of investment property, the company uses the services of certified values.
I Stocks are assets:
which are held for sale in the ordinary course of business,
in the course of production with a view to sale in the ordinary course of business,
in the form of raw materials, materials and other consumables to be used in the production process or provision of services.
Inventories are required to be stated at the lower value between cost and net realizable value. Inventories should not be reflected in the statement of financial position an amount greater than the amount that can be obtained through their sale or use. In this case, the inventories value should be decreased to the net realizable value by reflecting a write-down.
The primary basis for accounting inventories is the cost .
The cost of inventories should comprise all costs of acquisition and processing and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to the shape and place in which they are currently.
Price differences over the cost of acquisition or production should be disclosed separately in the accounts and are recognized in cost of the asset.
IAS 1.112(a) 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) 117(a)
Regarding the method of valuation, the company used, until December 31, 2010, the weighted average cost method, but starting from January 1, 2011, the company is using the first-in - first out method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes materials, labor and indirect production costs associated. Where necessary, adjustments are made for wasted or obsolete inventories. The net realizable value is calculated as the selling price less costs to complete and costs necessary to make the sale
(i) Financial assets (including receivables)
A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired if, and only if, there are any objective evidence of impairment arising as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and these events have an impact on future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reliably. On each financial year date, the company examines whether there is any objective evidence that the financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. The loss is given by the difference between the asset's book value and the present value of future cash flows using the effective interest rate of the financial asset at initial recognition.
If in a subsequent period, an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment will determine an increase of the asset's value, the impairment will be reversed.
The Company makes payments to pension funds, health funds, unemployment funds, allowances and vacations for all staff. These expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income for the period covered. At retirement, the company granted, as a stimulant, between one and four salaries to every person who ceases contractual relationship with the company.
The Company does not operate any other pension plan or retirement benefits so it has no other obligations in respect of pensions.
During the year, according to the collective labor agreement, depending on the possibilities of the company, employees can receive awards, financial aid for deaths in the family, serious and incurable illness etc.
Provisions are recognized when the Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation, arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and when a reliable estimate can be made of its amount.
(1) Provisions for annual vacations and other similar staff rights.
Company debt regarding annual employee vacations is recognized in proportion to the duration of untaken vacation days by the end of the year. At the balance sheet date, a provision for the estimated obligation is recognized, provision which includes both the actual amount of untaken vacation days and related social contributions. Also, for the retirement of employees who are qualified for this matter, the company established a provision according to the collective agreement stipulations through the valid period.
(2) Provisions for litigation
For those pending lawsuits, in which the company is the defendant and courts have not issued a final and executory judgment, the company made provisions for the amounts estimated. The amounts paid to the company customers, for any damage caused to the ship during transport, and which have failed to be recovered from the insurance company which issued the insurance policy and for whom there is a pending lawsuit, are treated similarly.
For river vessels produced by the Company, it is stipulated in the export contracts that the seller is obliged to guarantee the proper execution, for a period of 6-9 months from date of sale (ownership transfer), depending on the complexity of the ships.
Provisions made for this purpose are based on calculation of the average share of total claims paid customer deliveries during the last period (previous year).
Revenue refers to goods sold and services rendered.
Sales revenues include sales of ships and services provided (rentals and ship repairs) made in the ordinary course of business (excluding value added tax).
Revenue is recognized upon delivery of goods to the buyer or carrier, delivery against invoice, and for export products, after being charged and all the customs formalities are completed, or delivered to the place specified in the contract (port of destination), with the transfer of risks to the buyer.
117(a)
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the counter performance received or to receive.
Interest incomes are recognized using the effective interest method in proportion to the relevant period of time, based on the principal and the effective rate until the maturity date or for a shorter period if this period is linked to the transaction costs, when it is established that the company will obtain such income.
Interest income is recognized as the income generates, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method in proportion to the relevant time, based on the principal and the effective rate over the period to maturity or a shorter period if this period is link to transaction costs, when it is established that the company will obtain such income.
Income from financial assets or dividends receivable from entities in which the Company is a shareholder, are recognized in the financial statements of the financial year in which they are approved by the General Meeting of each entity.
The Company records current income tax using the taxable income from tax reporting, determined by the relevant Romanian legislation.
Income tax obligation for the reporting period and prior periods is recognized to the extent that is not paid.
If the amounts paid on the current and prior periods exceed the amounts due for those periods, the excess is recognized as recoverable amount.
Deferred income tax is, using the balance sheet method, based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and their carrying amount. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there is the possibility of achieving future taxable profit from which the temporary differences can be recovered.
Certain accounting policies of the Company and disclosure requirements demand the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values were determined for evaluation and / or disclosure purposes based on the methods described below. Where appropriate, additional information about the assumptions used in determining the fair value are presented in the notes that are specific to the asset or the liability.
In the assessment of tangible and intangible assets, fair value measurement is an option. Fair value assessment is made for categories of assets and is treated as a revaluation. The excess resulting from revaluation directly affects equity, unless previously it was recognized as a revaluation loss. Revaluation losses affect the statement of comprehensive income, unless there is an added value previously accounted directly in equity. There are differences between the two asset structures in terms of how to determine the fair value.
IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" asserts that: "After recognition as an asset, an item of tangible assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, representing its fair value at the revaluation date minus any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date." [9]
IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" indicates: "The purpose of revaluations under this standard, fair value shall be determined by reference to an active market".[10]
If IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" allows the determination of fair value through other methods if there isn't an active market, IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" narrow the assets that can be revalued, showing that only the assets for which an active market exists, can be revalued.
A special structure of non-current assets is the investment property. IAS 40 "Investment Property" offers two options for their evaluation: cost model or fair value model. As compared to IAS 16" Property, plant and equipment", where, if cost model is applicable, entities are only encouraged to disclose the fair value in the notes, IAS 40 "Investment Property" requires the estimation of fair value, for evaluation (fair value model) or to present in the notes (cost model).
For in assets held for continuing use, it can sometimes be difficult to estimate fair value minus costs of disposal. In the absence of a reliable basis for estimating the amount that an entity could obtain, from the sale of these assets in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing
parties, IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" indicates that the entity may use the asset's value as its recoverable amount (fair value is equal with the value in use).
As of January 1, 2013 requirements are applicable to the valuation of assets and liabilities at fair value under IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". IFRS 13 applies to assets and liabilities held by an entity for which, in accordance with other standards, it is required or permitted a fair value measurement or disclosure about fair value is required.
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.. The price used to assess the asset or liability at fair value is not adjusted by the amount of transaction costs because they are not a feature of the asset or liability, but a feature of the transaction.
Fair value assessment of an asset or liability considers the characteristics of the asset or liability which that market participants would consider in determining the price of the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Fair value measurement is performed on the assumption that an asset or liability is traded between market participants according to the normal conditions of sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability that characterizes the market at the measurement date. A normal transaction involves access to the market for a period that precedes evaluation enabling typical marketing activities and usual for those trading the respective assets or liabilities.

Sales of goods, made from the sale of ships built at the main headquarters in Orșova, registered a decrease of 9.25% in 2024 compared to the previous year. In 2024, the Company completed and handed over to external customers a number of 5 vessels. We specify that at the end of the year, a hull was 90% completed, being delivered to the intra-community market in the first decade of February 2025. Given that the structure and complexity of the ships built is different from one year to the next, this is also reflected in the level of income earned during these periods.
Further, although the Company had the entire production capacity of 2024 covered, the river/sea vessel construction market continued to be deficient.
As for the ship repair activity, the revenues achieved in 2024, mainly by the Agigea branch, amounted to RON 12,939,036 (RON 10,326,816 in 2023), registering an increase of 25.3% compared to the previous year.
In 2024, the company achieved revenues from the sale of residual products, higher by 335.12% compared to the previous year, an increase mainly due to the recovery of iron waste resulting from the scrapping of assets.
These presentations are made by the Company in accordance with IFRS 8.

The amounts recorded under the Rental income item refer to the amounts from the rental of three shallots during 2024, but also from the rental of premises at the Agigea branch,
Thus, in the analyzed period, the rental income is at a higher level than in the corresponding period of the previous year (increase by 116.56%), one of the main concerns of the company's management being to find solutions for renting all the barns in the branch's patrimony.
As for the amount entered under the item "Other operating income", it is due to the income received as penalties as a result of non-compliance with the delivery deadlines by the partners, as well as other operating income.

As of 31.12.2024, the significant share in total inventory expenditure is still held by raw materials (shipboard). The 35.12% decrease in raw material expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 is due to both the decrease in production volume and the structure of ship constructions sold in 2024. And overall, there is a decrease in inventory expenses, by 27.56% compared to the previous year, this decrease being also correlated with the fact that revenues from the sale of ships also decreased by 9.25%. Expenses representing inventory consumption that, according to IFRS, are included in the value of assets are recognized during the period depending on their nature. Accordingly, the value of the assets in execution is recorded in the accounting, on account of the related income accounts. It should be noted that the Company, according to IAS 1, has chosen to present the analysis of expenses using a classification based on their nature, and therefore does not present either the amount of these expenses or the amount of the corresponding income.

In 2024, expenses with employee benefits are at a higher level, by 14.46% compared to 2023. This increase is mainly due to the increase in the salaries of the Company's staff, starting with May 2024, by an average percentage of 10.2%, respectively to the increase, during the analyzed period, of the value of the meal voucher from 30 lei/meal voucher to 40 lei/meal voucher.
Among other factors that influenced payroll expenses in 2024, we mention the increase in the number of staff, but also the structure of production costs from the perspective of presenting the cost of goods sold according to IAS 1 requirements.
As in the case of the other categories of expenses, in the presentation of personnel expenses, an influencing factor in this increase is the method of presenting expenses using a classification based on their nature.

The greatest influence is due to the non-deductibility of revaluation surpluses transferred to retained earnings since 2004, the impact on income tax expenses of the Company being significantly.
Deferred tax liabilities are represented by the amounts of income taxes payable in future periods as a result of existing taxable temporary differences. In the determination of deferred tax, the tax rate used is stipulated in fiscal regulations in force at the date of the financial statements, respectively 16%.

The land, as of December 31, 2024, has a book value of 625,753 lei (historical cost) and represents an area of 85,790 sqm located at the headquarters in Orşova.
During December 2024, the land with an area of 210 sqm from the patrimony of the Agigea Branch was sold (Decision of the administrators of 16.12.2024). We also specify that the Company has put up for sale by auction two plots of land owned in the Gratca area, of 937 sqm and 3,988 sqm respectively, according to the decision of the directors of 16.02.2017, which were duly restated as fixed assets held for sale (according to IFRS 5). We mention that the sale transaction was completed in 2021.
The company has finalized the cadastral situation for the entire area owned at the headquarters in Orșova.
As of December 31, 2004, the value of property, plant and equipment is presented either at historical cost indexed in accordance with government decisions ("GD"), which have been applied up to that date, or at historical cost.
On December 31, 2005, the Company proceeded to revise the value of tangible fixed assets using the opinion of specialists employed by the Company. On December 31, 2006, the Company proceeded to revise the value of the buildings and special constructions by using the opinion of specialists, employed within the Company. As of December 31, 2007, the Company did not revise the value of the fixed assets at the headquarters in Orşova, but the Agigea Branch carried out a revaluation for the fixed assets in the Constructions and Maritime Vessels group, before the merger was completed, under the old name: Servicii Construcţii Maritime SA Agigea.
During the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, entries were recorded in the category of technological equipment and in the category of other fixed assets, which leads to a presentation, in the financial statements, of the fixed assets in these groups both at historical cost indexed in accordance with the government decisions ("GD"), which were applied, and at historical cost.
On December 31, 2009, the Company proceeded to the revaluation of tangible fixed assets of the nature of buildings and special constructions both at the main headquarters in Orsova and at the Agigea branch using the opinion of independent external appraisers. The method of reflecting the revaluation in the Company's accounting was to eliminate depreciation from the book value of assets. The revaluation surplus was credited to the revaluation reserve balance for those objectives whose fair value was greater than the net carrying amount, and for the other objectives for which the fair value was less than the net carrying amount, the decrease in the revaluation surplus previously existed, i.e. the allocation of operating expenses in the case of objectives for which a revaluation
reserve had not previously been recognised, or The recognized revaluation reserve was insufficient to cover the decrease.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2012, respectively, the Company did not proceed with the revaluation of the property, plant and equipment held.
At 31 December 2012, the company revalued buildings and means of naval transport, both at headquarters in the town of Orşova and Agigea branch using the opinion of an independent external value. The Company has used the net value model.

On the occasion of the revaluation carried out on 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2021, some of the fixed assets that were fully depreciated were assigned a new use value, which led to a reconsideration of the service life, durations that were used starting with 2019 to calculate accounting depreciation.
In 2024, the Company proceeded to reclassify some assets.
According to IAS 40, in the financial year 2019, a building under the management of the Agigea branch (headquarters) was transferred from the category of fixed assets to the category of real estate investments, which was given for use, by lease, to third parties, this rental regime being maintained in the first part of 2024.

As of 2019, IFRS 16 Leasing Contracts became applicable. Given that the company has certain lease contracts, as a lessee, with a term of 12 months or less and low-value lease contracts, the exception for the recognition of short-term leases and low-value leases applies to these contracts.
We specify that the company, at the headquarters of the Agigea branch, holds the right to use the land that is owned by the National Company for the Administration of Maritime Ports Constanta.
The lease agreement concluded in this regard with CNAPMC (September 2019) is valid until 2038 but contains clauses regarding the renegotiation of the tariff every 5 years and an annual indexable rent value. The initial analysis of the clauses of this contract led the Company to apply the exception allowed by IFRS, namely to consider that the conditions for recognizing this contract as a new leasing contract are met on an annual basis. The reanalysis of the contract in 2021 determined the classification of the contract with CNAPMC under the IFRS 16 standard, so that the company recorded an asset related to the right of use and a corresponding leasing debt.
In September 2024, the tariff was renegotiated for a period of 5 years and the company consequently registered a new asset related to the right of use and a corresponding leasing debt.
The carrying amounts of the rights of use of the recognised asset and the movements of the period are shown below:

In 1993, S.C. Servicii Construcţii Maritime S.A. ("SCM"), a company acquired by Şantierul Naval Orşova S.A. during the financial year ended 31 December 2008, made with the Anonymous Society "Domik Kritis", based in Crete, a joint venture named "Kritom Shipping Company", based in the city Iraclio, Crete. The share capital owned by SCM at Kritom Shipping Company was 49%:
According to the latest information received from the Greek authorities, the Greek partner proceeded, without our consent, by virtue of the provisions of art.3.4 of the Convention establishing the company, to double the share capital of Kritom, reaching 2,461,200 euros (8,400 shares ), from which:
The founding convention of the Kritom Shipping Company provides that the duration of the company is for the period 1993-2012. However, in 2012, the Greek shareholder, without consulting the Company, and using the dominant position in the General Meeting decided to extend the duration of the company by 25 years, until 2037.
At the moment, based on the information we have, the company is active but due to result of the pandemic and the lockdown situation in Greece , it does not generate revenue.
For more information about the current situation of Kritom and to clarify all aspects of administration, Șantierul Naval Orșova contacted a law firm that will represent us in court and support our interests as a shareholder.
In accordance with IFRS 13, fair value evaluation of short term investments assumes taking into consideration the characteristics that market participants would consider in determining the price of the asset at the measurement date. Fair value determination was made according to the available information on the interbank market and is assimilated to the first level required by IFRS 13 for data taken into account in determining the fair values at December 31, the reporting date.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had made adjustments for the full impairment of these securities, i.e. at the level of RON 684,495, so that the net value as of December 31, 2024 was RON 0 (as of December 31, 2023, the same situation was recorded).
The factors that contributed to the creation of these depreciations are the mistrust and lack of transparency shown by the Greek partner, who manages the company, as we have shown.
This financial asset belongs to the category of financial assets measured at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 7.8.

32. Financial instruments (continued)
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and supervising the overall risk management framework at Company level.
The Company's risk management policies are defined so as to ensure the identification and analysis of risks faced by the Company, the establishment of appropriate limits and controls, and the monitoring of risks and compliance with established limits.
Risk management policies and systems are regularly reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Company's activities. The company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop an orderly and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Company's internal auditor performs standard and ad hoc review missions of controls and risk management procedures, the results of which are presented to the Board of Directors.
Credit risk is the risk that the Company incurs a financial loss as a result of the default of a client or counterparty to a financial instrument, and this risk results mainly from the Company's trade receivables and financial investments.
Credit risk arises when a counterparty's default could reduce cash flow inflows from trade receivables presented at the date of the financial statements. The company has a significant concentration of credit risk. The company applies specific policies to ensure that the sale of products and services is carried out in such a way that the trade credit granted is adequate and continuously monitors the age of receivables.

In the financial year 2024, deliveries of ships built in Orsova were concentrated at 2 customers (Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. and Gebr De Jonge), and as a share it can be seen that deliveries to Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. held the dominant position in total deliveries. As for the ship repair activity, carried out mainly by the Agigea branch, its main customers were the companies ADM ROMANIA LOGISTICS, OCTOPOD-C OOD and NAVROM GALATI.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in fulfilling its contractual obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled in cash.
The Company's approach regarding liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it has at any moment sufficient liquidity to settle its liabilities when they fall due, both under normal conditions and under difficult conditions, without incurring material losses or jeopardizing the reputation of the Company.
In order to prevent certain situations that could make the company unable to meet its payment obligations in time, as the company has shown, it has one global ceiling contracted with BRD bank.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through sales, purchases and loans that are denominated in their currencies other than the functional currency of the Company, however the currency in which the most transactions are settled is RON.
Company exposure to currency risk is presented below, based on national values:

Also in 2024, amid the depreciation of the leu and the oscillating evolution of the leu/euro parity, the Company concluded new hedging transactions with derivatives to prevent exposure to currency risk.
The exchange rates of the national currency in relation to EUR, USD, calculated as an average of the rates recorded during the reporting year and the previous year, as well as the exchange rates communicated by the National Bank of Romania on the last day of the year, were:
| Currency | Average rate | Spot rate at the reporting date | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RON | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| EUR | 4,9746 | 4,9465 | 4,9741 | 4,9746 |
| USD | 4,5984 | 4,5743 | 4,7768 | 4,4958 |
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's income and cash flow may be affected by fluctuations in the market interest rate, but since the Company does not have, and has not had in recent years, contracted short- and long-term loans (bearing interest rates that also have a variable component), this risk is very low for SNO.
The Company's objectives in capital management are to ensure the protection and ability to reward its shareholders, to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to reduce capital costs. In order to maintain or modify the capital structure, the Company may change the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the return on shareholders' capital, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.
The company monitors the volume of capital raised based on the degree of indebtedness. This ratio is calculated as the ratio of net debts to total capital. Net liabilities are calculated as total net cash liabilities. The total capital is calculated as equity to which net debts are added.

The company has registered a number of shares pending before the courts, resulting from the company's activity. The Company's management believes that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's economic results and financial position.
The taxation system in Romania is in a phase of consolidation and harmonization with European legislation. However, there are still different interpretations of the tax legislation. In certain situations, the tax authorities may treat certain aspects differently by calculating additional taxes and fees and related late payment penalties (0.1% per day until 30 June 2010). As of July 1, 2010, the interest charged for each day of delay has been changed to 0.04% and the applicable penalty rates have been set at 5% for a number of days of delay between 30 and 60 and at 15% for delays of more than 60 days.
Starting with July 1, 2013, the interest charged for each day of delay was set at 0.04%, and the penalty rates applicable for each day of delay were changed to 0.02%. For the period after January 1, 2016, the interest charged for each day of delay was set at 0.02%, and the penalty rates applicable for each day of delay were changed to 0.01%. In Romania, the fiscal year remains open for tax
verification for 5 years. The Company's management considers that the tax obligations included in these financial statements are adequate.
In 2024, the company did not make any staff layoffs. However, there is an increase in the average number of employees by 2.08%, compared to the previous year (2024: 344 employees, 2023: 337 employees). At the time of preparing the financial statements, the company does not have a staff restructuring plan.
In order to carry out the management activity, the Company is obliged to pay the directors a fixed monthly remuneration, established by the articles of incorporation or the decision of the general meeting of shareholders, as the case may be.
The management contracts concluded with the new Board of Directors do not include clauses regarding the granting of variable remuneration.
A onerous contract is a contract in which the mandatory costs for the fulfilment of the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits to be obtained as a result of it. These mandatory costs reflect at least the net cost of exiting the contract which represents the minimum between the cost of performing the contract and any compensation or penalties resulting from its nonperformance. The company had no onerous contracts concluded as of December 31, 2024.
Environmental regulations are under development in Romania, and the Company has not registered any obligations as of December 31, 2024 for any anticipated costs, including legal and consultancy fees, site studies, design and implementation of remediation plans, regarding environmental elements.
The Company's management does not consider the expenses associated with possible environmental problems to be significant.
At the end of 2024, the Company has concluded insurance policies for owned cars and mortgaged tangible assets. For 2024, the company has concluded group insurance for employees, partially for the administrators, and for the general manager.
The tax legislation in Romania contains rules on transfer pricing between affiliated persons since 2001. The current legislative framework defines the principle of "market value" for transactions between related persons, as well as the methods of setting transfer pricing. As a result, it is expected that the tax authorities will initiate thorough transfer pricing checks to ensure that the tax result and/or customs value of imported goods are not distorted by the effect of prices charged in relations with related persons.

To the Shareholders of ŞANTIERUL NAVAL ORŞOVA S.A
We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Şantierul Naval Orşova SA ("the Company"), with headquarters in Orsova, Tufari Street, No. 4, identified by unique tax registration number RO1614734, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes to separate financial statements for the year ended.
Separate financial statements at December 31, 2024, are identified as follows:
| - Revenues: | 101,160,240 RON |
|---|---|
| - Net profit: | 5,936,340 RON |
| - Total assets: | 112,635,715 RON |
Without further qualifying our opinion, we consider necessary to draw attention related to following issues:
5.1. As it is presented at Note 32 Financial Instruments which present that 74% from Company turnover registered in financial exercise ended at December, 31 2024 is realised by two commercial partners (at December 31, 2023, 78% was related only by commercial partner Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. Nederland). This fact involves a commercial risk due to the significant dependence by a reduced number of clients.
At the level of revenue recognition there are risks of material misstatements like the situations where these may not be recognized by the company's management in accordance with applicable accounting regulations. There may be risks both in terms of the amount of revenue recognized as well as the time of their recognition of possible material misstatements regarding the application of the principle of accrual-based accounting.
Our response to these risks of material misstatements have resulted in performing audit procedures with the purpose of: analysis of contracts and documentation related to the sales of ships, respectively rent services, testing the revenue recognition method in accordance with the contract clause. With respect to the likelihood of material misstatements connected with the application of the principle of accrual-based accounting, we realized procedures whereby we correlated the revenue recognition moment with the signing of protocols of reception of ships.
The management's assertions regarding to valuation can raise risks of material misstatements that would manifest in the sense of failure to apply of accounting regulation regarding valuation of stocks at the reporting date, which state the stocks are valuated at the minimum of cost and net realizable value.
Our response to these risks of material misstatements with regard to valuation assumed tests by which we observed the nature of expenditure capitalized in cost of production. We tested the depreciation of stocks estimated by management of the company by taking as a basis the net realizable value of the reference established according to the Company's commercial agreements or established related to the value in use. We performed procedures whereby we obtained reasonable assurance that there are no material misstatements with respect to these assertions.
Our opinion on individual financial statements does not cover this other information, and unless expressly stated in our report, we do not express any assurance about it.
In relation to the audit of the individual financial statements for the year ended at December, 31st 2024, it is our responsibility to read that other information and, in doing so, to assess whether that other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or with this knowledge that we obtained during the audit whether they appear to be significantly denatured.
As far as the Directors' Report is concerned, we have read and reported that it has been prepared in all significant aspects in accordance with Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 for approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, chapter III, points 15- 20.
On the sole basis of the activities to be carried out during the audit of the financial statements, in our opinion:
In addition, based on our knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment, acquired during the audit of the separate financial statements for the year ended December, 31st 2024, we are required to report whether we have identified significant misstatements in the Directors' Report. We have nothing to report on this issue.
We mention that our duty was limited strictly to the realization of the statutory audit regarding the separate financial statements of the Company at December 31st , 2024, not being assigned to perform the audit of the consolidated financial situations if it was the case.
This independent auditor's report is addressed exclusively to the shareholders of the Company. Our audit was conducted in order to be able to report to the shareholders in accordance with the reporting requirements of a financial audit, and not for other purposes. To the extent to which the law allows it, we do not accept and assume any responsibility except for the Company and its Shareholders in respect to our audit, to the report on the separate financial statements and the report on conformity or the opinion.
The annexed financial statements are not meant to show the financial position, the financial performance and a complete set of notes to the separate financial statements in accordance to accounting regulations and principles in other countries and jurisdictions than Romania. Therefore, the annexed separate financial statements are not for the use of persons who are not familiar with legal regulations in Romania, including OMFP no. 881/2012 on application by companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of International Financial Reporting Standards and OMFP no. 2844/2016 for the approval of the accounting regulations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Law no. 82/1991, republished, including subsequent amendments and additions, Order of the Minister of Public Finance of Romania no. 881/2012 on application by companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of International Financial Reporting Standards and the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 for approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for internal control that management deems necessary to enable it to prepare financial statements free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to the issuance of 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 ISA will always detect significant misstatement, if any exists. Distortions may be caused either by fraud or by error and are considered significant if reasonable assurance can be given that they, individually or collectively, will influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them about all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear with our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report, unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
We confirm that:

A reasonable assurance engagement includes:
