Within the general cargoes, Luka Koper Group in January - June 2019 achieved 9 percent lower throughput in comparison to the comparable period last year. The maritime throughput within the general cargoes decreased by 6 percent due to a lower throughput of

iron products. In timber throughput was recorded 13 percent lower export of timber due to a reduced need of the North African market.

CONTAINERS

In the first half of 2019, the Container terminal recorded an increased throughput of containers in comparison with the equivalent period in 2018. The Container terminal recorded athrougput of 497,877 TEUs, which is 2 percent ahead on the comparble period in 2018. The share of full containers in the total throughput in comparison with 2018 has not changed significantly.

LIQUID CARGOES

In January - June 2019, the throughput of liquid cargoes in comparison with the equivalent period in 2018, increased by 12 percent. The throughput of liquid cargoes increased by 30 percent due to a higher turnover of the fuel, destined to the hinterland and domestic market. Within the throughput of petroleum products, Luka Koper Group recorded 7-percent increase in comparison with January – June 2018.

DRY AND BULK CARGOES

In January - June 2019, the throughput of dry bulk and bulk cargoes decreased by 9 percent in comparison with January – June 2018.

In Januar – June 2019, the maritime throughput at the Dry and Break bulk cargoes terminal decreased by 9 percent in comparison with last year, due to a more intensive supply last year because of the blast furnace overhaul, which took place from mid-July until the end of September 2018 due to the one-off event, notably the plant breakdown of the customer importing thermal coal through the Port of Koper.

The throughput in the product group of bulk cargoes in January - June 2019 was 9 percent lower than the preceding year. Luka Koper Group recorded the decrease in the throughput of soya and grain.

12 Risk management

In 2019, the activities related to risk management continued, since besides the regular monitoring of the risk exposure, we implemented several risk mitigation measures.

In the second quarter of 2019, the risk related to longer traffic interruptions on the railway line up to the port of Koper, materialised since on June 25, 2019 six wagons transporting cherosenenderailed on Divača–Koper railway line. The railway line was closed almost four days, from Tuesday june 25 until Saturday June 29, 2019, until 12.30 p.m. The accident showed how vulnerable is the port's logistics, which depends only on on track of railway line. Due to the rapid action and managing the consequences, the Company does not expect a long-term impact on the Company's performance. During the railway line closure the cargo was partially redirected on the road transport. The capacity of the railway line is limited due to the technical equipment, and such incidents have a significant imapct on the fluidity and congestion, and this was a new warning about the urgency of the construction of the second track railway line. In June 2019, a project team was formed which will start the activities aimed to increase the fluidity in order to reduce strategic risks related to the capacity and rail fluidity. On January 24, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, unanimously adopted the investment programme related to the second track of the Divača-Koper railway line, which estimates the completion of the second track railway line in 2025. In March 2019, started the construction of access roads to route of the second railway track, in May the Board of Directors of EIB granted the loan for the construction of the second track of the railway line. From March 1, 2019, Luka Koper, d. d., started to pay the transshipment fee, designed for the co-funding of the project and wich will 2019 expectedly burden the profit or loss from the operations in the amount of EUR 5.3 million.

The activities related to the risk management in relation to the implementation of key investment project, continue. On May 10, 2019, the Sermin entrance as entry point in the Port of Koper, which will disburden main transport routes toward the port and increase traffic fluidity in the port. In July started the driving in of test piles for the extension of the Pier I, the public tender was published for the extension of the pier was publishe, to which the candidates for ececution of works can apply until August 26. The implementation of such significant infrastructure project is a strategic investment which will ensure further development, increase international competitivity of the port and significantly contribute to keep the leading position among container terminals in the Northern Adriatic. The total investment is expected to be completed in 2021. The activities related to the implementation of other infrastructure projects continue. In July, public tender was awarded for the construction of the garage with capacity of 6.000 vehicles, in April public tender for the construction of the RO-RO berth, which will be adapted to car carriers. These investments will increase the warehousingcapacity and berths and improve the internal logistics in the cars handling.

In the second quarter of 2019, the activities of the establishment of a new business model of the implementaion of port's services, which will reduce the related risks, continued. Within the tier I, 296 persons were directly employed in Luka Koper, d. d., until 30 June 2019. In June, four recruitment agencies, through which 346 workers will work in the port, were selected. On June 7, 2019, the public tender for the performance of the cars transport and additional services at the Car and Ro-Ro Terminal for the needs of the Tier III.

With aim to reduce the risk related to exceeding statutory prescribed noise threshold values towards the town of Koper, which may occur during driving in piles within the extension of the Pier I or excessive noise produced during the performance of the activity, a plan aiming to reduce the noise was drawn up and is already in In 2018, the modified Decree on limit values for environmental noise indicators environment (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 43/18), entered into force, on the basis of which, on February 28, 2019, the Company received the Decision on the modification of the environmental permit with respect to the noise emissions in the environment, due to which the risk remains at the acceptable level.

Luka Koper Group ensures the smooth performance of all business processes for a smooth performance of the cargo handling and additional services. Risks of which realisation is reflected in injuries to persons and/or environmental impacts or effects on property, are managed by preventive measures on the basis workplace risk assessments, training and examinations, with consistent use of protective equipment, with defined technological prcedures and working instructions, which are constantly updated, constant measurings of working conditions, regular medical examinations and with an adequate property and liability insurance. Endeavours for a constant improvement are reflected in results – in 2019, no serious injury was recorded, we also record the incidence of injuries per million of hours worked.

Among the financial risks we recognise risk relating to change in fair value, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency and credit risk and risk relating to adequate capital structure. In January 2018, Luka Koper, d. d., started and in January 2019 completed the refinancing of long-term loans. By refinancing part of its loans, the Company has prolonged the maturity of its sources of funds, while also replacing part of its variable-rate sources of funds with fixed interest rate sources, whereby an adequate ratio between cost efficiency and interest risk management was established. A significant increase of interest rates is not expected in 2019, according to the latest projections EURIBOR shoul remain negative until the end of 2021.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

13 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always taken care for the improvement of the quality of life in the whole area where the port is embedded. Besides the statutory compliance and the compliance with authorisations, objective and regular assessment of performance of such systems, provision of information about environmental performance, open dialogue with public and interested parties, and active involvement of employees. All employees in Luka Koper, d. d., and meanwhile the responsible staff for the maintenance of the established system take credit for the maintenance of the highest environmental standard. In connection with the development issues, the company takes into consideration principles of sustainable development and responsible environmental management.

13.1 Care for the environment

Being aware that the port's impacts on the envirronment occur, Luka Koper, d. d., committed itself in its business policy to the sound environmental management wishing to preserve for future generations. Monitoring and management of environmental impacts has so become the part of regular working activities, whereby Luka Koper, d. d., cooperates with competent authorities.

The most important goals in the area of natural environment in 2019:

  • To successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements;
  • First certification for the standard SIST ISO 50001,
  • To reduce emissions of dust at all ten port's locations to 200 mg/m2day and max 5 deviations from 120/th measurements in the course of the year,
  • To keep the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μg/m3 in the entire Port's area(in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki Bertoki),
  • To keep the percentage of separately collected waste above 89 percent,
  • To drecrease night-time noise to 48 dBA in the direction of Koper,
  • To keep the daily-time noise level to 58 dB in front of closest buildings outside the Port's area and the night-time to 53 dB,
  • To modernise the drainage at the Dry Bulk Terminal and the modernisation of the treatment plant at the Livestock Terminal and to replace some oil interceptors,

  • To keep specific consumption of energy at the last year level, despite the increased throughput and enlarged storage areas and namely for motor fuel 0,245l/t, for electric energy 1.17 kWh/t, potable water 6.4 l/t

  • Without taking actions (inspection and internal) in environmental interventions,
  • Without pollution outside the Port's aquatorium,
  • To ensure an efficient and adequate system of the supply with water for fire extinguishing in the port's area and the provision of an adequate provision of firefighting for specific buildings.

13.2 EMAS certificate

As early as in 2010, Luka Koper, d. d., was awarded the most important environmental certificate EMAS (SI 00004). At the end of 2017 the company received the inspection decision due to the exceeding noise limit values toward Koper, and the certificate could not be renewed i.

At the end of May 2019, Luka Koper, d. d., succeeded to complete the open environmental decision and currently is being preparing for a new assessment in relation to the compliance with EMAS regulation, for the re-acquisition of the EMAS certificate.

In the firts half of 2019, in compliance with ISO 50001 standard, Luka Koper carried out the pre-audit concerning the energy management system.

13.3 Atmosphere

Striving for a constant reduction in emissions that are produced by the performance of port activities involves many activities. The most important measures for the reduction in dusting are the introduced technology of applying paper mill sludge to the coal and iron ore disposal area. Paper mill sludge builds a solid layer that prevents drifting of dust. In the first half of 2019, 660 tons of paper mill sludge were disposed.

13.3.1 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Control measurements of the total volume of dust carried by Luka Koper, d. d., yet from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. We have set the annual goal not to exceede 200 mg/m2day and the average of measurement values for the reported period is 103 mg/m2day. In January – June 2019 the company did not recored any deviation. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permitted deviations for such measurements.

13.3.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurements of fine dust particles (PM10), are carried out by an authorised organisation and are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurements taken in the first half of 2018 were below the target value 30 μg/m3 and statutory set up volume of 40 μg/m3 . The results from two measurement devices are shown automatically every hour on the Port's web page online Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

Comparison of mean values of PM10 , January – June 2018 and 2019

13.3.1 Emissions of dust particles on key sources

Since the permitted values of dust particles emissions of key sources are stipulated by law, we perform measurements in the direct vicinity of dust-generating sources (e.g. at loading/unloading of wagons, trucks and ships). The threshold of permitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3 . The company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2019.

13.4 Waste management

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of the committment for the environment, Luka Koper,d. d., regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processing. The waste separation is carried out at all terminals, by the users of the economic zone and on ships. Separately collected waste materials are delivered to external waste-processing contractors and agents, whereas organic waste is processed at the composting plant in the port. Luka Koper, d. d., also collaborates with external companies in relation to waste processing.

In the first half of 2019, the share of sorted separately collected waste was 92 percent and thereby the set objective of 89 percent of sorted separately collected waste was exceeded. In the aforesaid period, the Company provided for the removal of worn-out bicycles, which served as transport means in in the port and the removal of the worn-out and written-off port's machinery, which was deposited for longer time within the Port zone.

13.5 Noise

Noise levels are continuously monitored by devices at three peripheral points around the port, and the results are published online via the Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

In 2018, a new Decree on the threshold values of environmental noise came into force, on the basis of which Luka Koper, d. d., in 2019 obtained a new environmental permit setting the noise level. The results for the first quarter 2019 are in compliance with the requirements of the environmental permit and a newly adopted Decree.The Company has set and determioned objectives, of which threshold values are lower than statutory prescribed threshold values.

The Company implements measures to lower noise level, which were adopted for 2019.

13.6 Energy

.

The current electricity power in Luka Koper, d. d., is approximately 10 MW, which is still acceptable connecting power to the electricity distribution network. In October 2014, the European Parliament and Council adopted the Directive 2014/94/EU which under Article 4 requires that EU countries ensure that the supply with electrical power from land to inland waterways ships and to seagoing vessels should be estimated in national politics frameworks for all ports. At the end of July 2017, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a Decree on the deployment of the infrastrcuture for alternative fuels in the transport, which obliges the operator of the Port of Koper, to ensure the supply of the electric power for ships in the Port of Koper from the quayside no later than 31 December 2025.

Due to the aforesaid EU Directive and future development of Luka Koper, the consumption of electric power resp. power demand of Luka Koper will increase in the future. Therefore, Luka Koper jointly with transmission system operator in the Republic of Slovenia, ELES, d. o. o. , started to draw up an agreement on the construction, co-funding and joint ventures in 110 kV electricity infrastructure up to the port.

13.6.1 Electricity and water consumption

In 2019, the use of electrified RTG cranes increased. The advantage of using the electric energy for driving cranes is in significantly higher effichency of machinery, low noise level and practically zero local emissions of exhaust gases. This is also the main reason for the increase of a specific use of the use of electric energy in the first half of 2019 in comparison with 2018. The resaon for a higher specific use of water consumption in the first six months of 2019 in comparison to the year 2018, is in slightly higher absolute water consumption.

Specific consumption of energy and water per handled tone of the total throughput27 , January – July 2018 and 2019

27 Total throughput = maritime throughput + stuffing/unstuffing of containers

Electricity consumption

The major consumers of the electric power in the port are the Container terminal and Bulk cargoes terminal. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff, cold storage rooms at the Reefer teminal, conveyor belts for the transshipment of the dry bulk cargo, lighting and power supply to the reefer containers. In the first half of 2019, the company did not achieve the target value of specific electric energy consumption.

Motor fuel consumption

A lot of ground mechanisation, powered by diesel is used in the port's working processes. The major consumers are terminal tractors, which on average consume 47 percent of motor fuel, followed by rubber tyred gantry cranes RTG, reach stackers, railway track vehicles, forklifts and tractors. In January - March 2019, the major consumer of the motor fuel was the the Container terminal, which consumed 60 percent of the the motor fuel. In the first quarter of 2019, the company achieved the target value of specific consumption of the motor fuel.

Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and for this reason numerous safety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important. In the first half of 2019, the company achieved the target value of specific water consumption.

Potable water

The consumption of the potable water does not depend directly on the throughput. Due to a growing occupancy of the port and large number of trucks,as well as transport equipment, additional leakeages on the water distribution network occur. In order to reduce water losses, repairs of leakages are constantly carried out, as well as repairs of hydrant network and water distribution network. In the first half of 2019, measurements of the quality of the potable water at the Cruise terminal were carried out, and the results were in compliance with the law.

Waste waters

In the port mainly urban waste waters are generated and to a lower extent industrial waste waters. Generated industrial waste waters are prior to the discharge adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants, urban waste waters are mainly treated in the Koper central waste treatment plant. In the first quarter of 2019, the authorised operator has carried out the sampling of waste waters at the washing facility DEPO, but the results are still not available.

13.7 Effect of lighting

The lighting in the port'area is in line with regulations and in a way that a light is not directed upwards. The lighting plan is published on the company's website https://www.lukakp.si/slo/zakonodaja-in-okolje-200 .

13.8 Marine protection

Statement of compliance

The interim Report has been compiled in accordance with the International Accounting standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The company's financial statements have been compiled in accordance with International Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards (IASB) and European Union and in compliance with Companies Act RS.

Basis for the compilation of financial statements

The financial statements are compiled in euros (EUR), rounded to the nearest unit. Through these consolidated financial statements the company wants to provide the broadest sphere of users useful information on the company's performance from January – June 2019, in comparison with the comparable

data for the previous year, together with the company's financial position as at 30 June 2019 in comparison with 31 December 2018.

Financial statements of Luka Koper, d. d. and consolidated financial statements of Luka Koper Group for the reporting period January – June 2019 are not audited, whilst they were audited for the comparable period as at 31 December 2018.

Use of estimates and judgements

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates are formed based on past experience and expectations in the accounting period.

Estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these situations, hence estimates and underlying assumptions are are reviewed on a regular basis. Chages in accounting estimates are recognised in the period for which the estimates are modified, or in the coming periods that are impacted by respective changes.

Changes in accounting policies

The non-audited financial statements of the Luka Koper, d. d. for the reporting period are compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies and principles that were applicable in 2018, except for the following changes:

Changes in accounting policies

The non-audited financial statements of the Luka Koper, d. d. for the reporting period are compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies and principles that were applicable in 2018, except for the following changes:

IFRS 16 – Leases

On 1 January Luka Koper, d. d. and the Luka Koper Group started to apply the standard IFRS 16 – Leases which replaces the standard IFRS 17.

The scope of application of IFRS 16 comprises leases of all assets with a few exceptions. Pursuant to the Standard, lessees should recognise all leases through profit and loss under a single lessee accounting model without making a distinction between an operfating or a finance lease, in the same manner that finance lease are recognised pursuant to IAS 17. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 – Leases and related interpretations. The Standard allows two exemptions in recognising assets, i.e. when underlying asset is of low value (such as personal computer) and for short-term leases (leases with a term of less than 12 months). As the date of beginning of lease, the lessee is required to recognise the obligation to make lease payments (i.e. a lease liability) and the asset representing the right to use the underlying leased asset fort he duration of the lease (i.e. right-of-use asset).

Under IFRS, the contract contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lessees shall recognise separately interest expense

with respect to the lease liability and depreciation costs from the right-of-use asset. The right-of-use asset is depreciated, and interest is added to the liabilities. This results in a concentrated pattern of expense for most leases, even if the lessee pays a fixed annual rent. If certain events shouls occur (such as changes in the lease period, chnanges in the value of future leasse payments due to variations in the index or rate, based on which lease payment is determined), lessees shall have to remeasure the lease liability, in general, lessees recognise the remeasurement value of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

The introduction of the new standard will not substantially change the lease accounting fort he lessor and from the lessor's persepective, the distinction between the operating lease and finance lease remains in force.

Luka Koper, d. d./Luka Koper Group has examined and analysed all lease contracts. The standard allows for exemptions in the recognition of leases, i.e. for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, and for leases where the undelying asset is of low value. The Company has elected to apply exemptions and thus accounts for lease payments as an expense in January – June 2019. There are two possible transitions to the new standard; the Company has opted for transition without affecting its statement of financial position (modified retrospective method) and implemented the standard as of 1 January 2019.

Based on analysis results, the Company/Luka Koper Group has estimated the values of the right-of-use and lease liability. Values of the right-of-use and lease liability have been estimated by discounting the future cash flows for the period of lease. Cash flows are discounted based on a pondered interest rate realised by the Company/Luka Koper Group when raising non-current loans. Depreciation resulting from the right-of-use is calculated based on the remaining lease term.

The impact of IFRS 16 in January – June 2019:

Provisions for retirement benefits and jubilee premiums

In accordance with statutory requirements and the collective agreement, Luka Koper d. d./Luka Koper Group is liable to pay jubilee premiums and termination benefits on retirement. These payments are measured using the method of accounting that requires that an actuarial liability is assessed on the basis of expected salary growth from the valuation date until the employee's anticipated retirement. This means that benefits are accrued in proportion to the work performed. The assessed liability is recognised as the present value of expected future expenditure. Anticipated salary growth and employee turnover are also considered as part of measurement.

Actuarial gains or losses for termination benefits in the current year are recognsed in other comprehensive income under equity based on an actuarial calculation, whereas current and previous

employee benefits and interest expenditure are recognised in profit or loss. Current employee benefit costs and interest expenditure as well as actuarial gains and losses, Luka Koper, d.d./Luka Koper Group recognises in profit or loss for jubilee premiums.

The calculation of provisions for retirement benefits and jubilee premiums is based on the actuarial calculation as at 30 June 2019 (using data as at 30 June 2019), which took into account the following assumptions:

  • Currently applicable amount of termination benefits and jubilee premiums.
  • Mortality rate that is based on mortality tables from 2007 applicable to Slovenia and presented separately for men and women, decreased by 10 percent (active population). As at 30 June 2019, this means an overall 0.3-percent death rate for employees in the next financial year (considering the number of employees).
  • Staff fluctuation, declining on a straight-line basis from 2.0 percent at 15 years to 0.5 percent at 55 years, thereupon remaining constant at 0.0 percent. In total, this indicates an annual fluctuation of one percent fort he next year as at 30 June 2019.
  • Foreseen retirement of individual employees has been taken into account based on data on employee gender, date of birth and length of service as at 30 June 2019 pursuant to Article 27 and 3rd indent of Article 28 (1) of Pension and Disability Insurance Act.
  • For the period from 2019 till 2021 calculations, we used average salary increase rates for the Republic of Slovenia as outlined in Spring Forecast of Economic Trends 2019 (Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development). Average salaries in Slovenia are expected to increase as of 2022 by an annual two percent due to inflation and by one percent due to real growth. It is assumed that the amounts as set the Decree on the Levels of Reimbursed Work-related Expenses and of Certain Income not to be included in Tax Base.(Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No. 140/06 and 76/08) will not increase by 2020, whereby an increase of these amounts is expected subsequently in line with inflation.
  • Increase in basic gross salaries and variable components is taken into account in the amount of annual inflation, increased by 0.2 percent from 2022 onwards; basic gross salary growth due to promotions is taken into account at 0.5 percent yearly, the bonus for total years of service is taken into account at 0.5 percent of the basic salary for each full year of service. In case of four individual contracts, the bonus for total years in service does not apply. Accordingly, the nominal monthly salary growth rate -in view of inflation and actual growth – would be 2.0 percent next year, 2.3 percent in 2021 and 2.2. percent from 2022 onwards.
  • The discount rate fort he calculation as at 30 June 2019 at 0.7 percent on the basis of the yield of Slovenian government bond as at 28 June 2019, and by interpolation with respect to the average weighted duration of the Company's committments.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial risks comprise:

    1. risk management of the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk,
    1. management of currency risk
    1. management of credit risk, and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.

The company's /Group's management of financial risks has been organised within the finance and accounting department, since the accounting for subsidiaries is carried out within Luka Koper d. d.. The specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unpredictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The company /Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 30 June 2019, Luka Koper, d. d. had invested 5.8 percent of its assets (at the end of the previous year 5.7 percent) in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal, whereas with investments in shares of other companies there is a risk for the sales value not to equal the value of the market transaction. This type of risk has been recognised with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 30 June 2019, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 33,675,697.

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10 percent increase in the fair value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3,367,570. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

If this was the case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity for investments into securities, and within profit or loss for investments into other companies.

As at 30 June 2019, Luka Koper Group, had invested 6.3 percent of its assets (as at 31 December 2019, 6.2 percent in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market that affect the value of these assets and,

consequently the potential gain on their disposal, whereas with investments in shares of other companies there is a risk for the sales value not to equal the value of the market transaction. This type of risk has been recognised with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 30 June 2019, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 37,725,426.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect to its liabilities, the Company/Group also faces interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have an adverse effect on the planned results.

Luka Koper, d. d.

In the overall structure of liabilities, the share of financial liabilities (without other liabilities) increased from 19.4 percent in 2018 to 19.5 percent as at 30 June 2019. The effect of variable interest rate changes on future profit or loss after taxes is shown in the table below.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the Company/Group has succeeded in achieving significantly lower accrued income in US dollars to the extent that US dollars denominated receivables are negligible, based on which the Company/Group has opted not to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Management of the risk of default on the side of the counterparty or the credit risk has gained in importance in recent years. Customer deafults are being passed on to economic entities, much like a chain reaction, which significantly reduces the assessed probability of timely inflows and increases additional costs of financing the operation. Accordingly, the Company/ the Group has acceleerated collevtion-related activities in the past years and more consistently monitored trade receivables past due.In case of customers, regarding whom the Company/Group detects late payments and inconsistency in observing adopted business agreements, and advance payment system is set up for all ordered services with the aim of avoiding the late payments. This area is positvely impacted by the specific structure of the Company's/Group's customers, who are predominantly major companies, freight forwarders and forwarding agents that have been the Company's/Group's business partners for a number of years.

Certain Company's/Group's receivables have been secured with collaterals, which are returned to the customers once all obligations have been settled or cooperation has been terminated. Investments include loans, which are secured with blank bills of exchange and other movable and immovable property.
