The revenue from the performance of the service of general economic interest relating to the regular maintenance of the port infrastructure, dintended for the public transport will be lower than planned due to an expected lower volume than planned, since in May 2018, the company received the last approval for the regular maintenance of the port infrastructure plan from the Ministry for Infrastructure.

In case, when one or more risks resp.uncertainties materialize or that the aforesaid assumptions show as incorrect, the actual results may materiall differ from those indicated in the notice as expected, estimated or projected. Luka Koper allows any up-dating or auditing of these forecasts as far as the future developments would differ from the expected.

As early as in 2010, Luka Koper, d. d., was awarded the most important environmental certificate EMAS (SI 00004). By complying with norms for the obtainment of the most significant environmental certificate EMAS, the company's strategic guidelines are achieved At the end of 2018, the Company will perform the certification audit in accordance with the EMAS regulations.

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.

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 goal not to exceede 250 mg/m2day and the average of measurement values for the reported period is 115 mg/m2day. In the first half of 2018, the company recorded two deviations, which is below the target. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permiitted deviations for such measurements.

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 ,measurements, January – June 2018 and 2017

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 2018.

Waste management

Vrious 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, wheras 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 2018, we achieved 86 percent of waste separation and the set objective of 89 percent of sorted separately collected waste was not achieved. The objective was not achieved, since in May the cruise ship delivered a considerable quantity of mixed municipal waste, and the share of separately collected waste decreased accordingly.

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.

Level of noise in the first half of 2018, remained similar to the levels in the comparable period last year, towards Ankaran and Bertoki, the values slightly decreased (1-2 dB), towards Koper the values increased by 1-2 dB in the evening and at night.

The results of measurings in the front of the first residential buildings towards Koper show the exceededing of threshold values in the evening, night and daily noise levels. The daily values are within the legislative framework. In the front of the first buildings towards Ankaran and Bertoki, the results were in compliance with the legislation.

Main source of the noise in the Port of Koper nevertheless remain the activities relating to the goods handling operations and numerous construction sites. A significant source of noise in the port is attributable to the vessels, which due to ensuring smooth operation, must keep engines running. Unfortunately, the company has no impact on them.

Energy

Consumption of energy and water

In the first half of 2018, due to the electrification of RTGs and the use of RMG cranes, a specific consumption of the motor fuel was slightly lower. The advantage of electric

powering of cranes is essentially a major exploitation of the equipment, lower noise and practically zero local emissions of exhaust gases. This is the main reason for the increase of the specific use of the electric power in the first half of 2018 in comparison with 2017. The reason in a lower specific water consumption in the first half of 2018 in comparison with 2017 lays in a slightly absolute water consumption and increased throughput.

Motor fuel consumption (l/t) 0,124 0,136 91
Potable water consumption (l/t) 3,490 3,550 99

Electricity consumption

The major consumer of the electric power in the port is the Container terminal, followedd by the Dry bulk and bulk terminal. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff, cold storage rooms at the Reefer teminal, conveyor belts fort he transhipment of the dry bulk cargo, lighting and power supply to the reefer containers.

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 43 percent of motor fuel, followed by rubber tyred gantry cranes RTGs, reach stackers, railway track vehicles, forklifts and tractors. In January – June 2018, the major consumer of the motor fuel was the Container terminal, which consumed 61 percent of the motor fuel.

Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and fort his 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.

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 the first half of 2018,

19 Total throughput = maritime throughput + stuffing/unstuffing of containers + land transhipment

several measurements of the quality of the potable water within the port's network were carried out. One microbiological contamination was recorded, as result of the repair of a broken water pipe.

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 half of 2018, the measurements of the industrial waste waters generated at the cleaning of containers and the measurements of the urban waste water from small treatment plant were performed. The results were in compliance with the law.

Effects of the lighting

In accordance with regulations for safe work, Luka Koper d.d. ensures proper lighting, which is required for continuous performance of work processes. The lighting, which illuminates the storage areas, working sites, transport routes and tracks at night is the source of environmental pollution

The lighting in the port'area is in line with regulations and in a way that a light is not directed upwards. A new lighting plan, which is published on the company's webiste, was prepared.

Marine protection

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement for the performance of port activity, management, development and regular maintenance of port's infrastructure in the Koper's cargo port area, Luka Koper, d.d. regularly takes care to prevent and remove the consequences of the sea pollution. To carry out such actvities we need special equipment, boats and skilled staff. We therefore regularly train the staff, provide training and drills. In exceptional events at sea Luka Koper d.d. takes measures in compliance with the valid Protection and rescuing plan of Luka Koper , d.d. in case of industrial accidents.

In the first half of 2018, 13 incidents were recorded in the Port's aquatorium. In all cases of pollution at sea, measures were taken in accordance to the activation scheme of forces and ressources for minor accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area.

15 Committment to the community

The extent of the Port of Koper and the volume and impact its activities, require from Luka Koper, that besides the economic impact, to be also responsible for people-friendly and developed environment, where the port is embedded. For many years, the company has been allocating substantial funds in projects and activities in the local and wider environment. In the company's Business strategy until 2030 is written that also in the future the company will be careful stakeholder of a sustainable development.

Luka Koper communicates with its stakeholders transparently and proactively, therefore all activities in the field of corporate social responsibility and sustainale policy, are published on the Sustainable development website www.zivetispristaniscem.si. For 2017 Luka Koper for the first time drew up also the sustainable development Report in compliance with international standards of the sustainable reporting. The general public is promptly informed also through other channels, which are adapted to the relevant public, and namely on the corporate website www.luka-kp.si , monthly Port's gazzette (the redisegned version is distributed also to business partners, representatives of local communities and government bodies, which are directly connected with the Port's community, and the media), through press releases, press conferences, interviews, articles, publications on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange website and through the social websites (Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Youtube). Port's visits are organised throughout the year. In the first half of 2018, almost 7.000 visitors, whereof in majority school children, visited the port accompanied by port's guides. In May this year, the Company traditionally opened the port to the public by organising the Port's Day, which was attended by around 5.000 visitors.

Luka Koper strives to conduat a constructive dialogue with stakeholders from the local environment and with their cooperation seeks solutions also in case of negative environmental impacts of the port's activity. Recently, principally the noise, produced by some vessels , was a burning issue. Therefore, the company organised an expert meeting within the European project SUPAIR with the reprersentatives of the local communities, government bodies, professionals and presented also foreign practices.

An important step forward to the fulfilment of the committments is also the Letter of Intennt signed in July with the Municipality of Koper, for the conclusion of the Agreement on the implementation of the mitigating measures for the reduction of the environmental impacts of the port's activity and further port's development.

Luka Koper actively supports the associations, which enriches the social life of the local community and wider environment, therefore in the first half of 2018 it allocated EUR 332 thousand resp. one quarter for sponsorships and donations in comparison with the Committment to the community

60

equivalent period last year. In April, the Company published also the call for sponsorhips and donations from the Living with the Port fund. 260 applications wre received, whereof 214 projects were selected, mostly from the field of sports and culture.

17 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements

Luka Koper, d. d., a port operator and logistic provider, (hereinafter: Company) with registered office at Vojkovo nabrežje 38, Koper in Slovenia is the controlling company of the Luka Koper Group. The company's Financial Statements are compiled for January – June 2018 resp. as at 30 June 2018.

Statement of compIiance

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 2018, in comparison with the comparable data for the previous year, together with the company's financial position as at 30 June 2018 in comparison with 31 December 2017.

Separate financial statements of Luka Koper, d. d., for the reporting period January – June 2018 are not audited, whilst the financial statements for the comparable period as at 31 December 2017, are audited.

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 2017, except for the following changes:

As from 1st January 2018, Luka Koper, d. d. started to apply two new standards and namely IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenues from contracts with customers.

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

The standard determines the requirements and rules for the recognition and the measuerement of the financial instruments and replaces the standard IFRS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, recognition of their impairment and the hedge accounting.

Item IAS 39 IFRS 9
Other investments, measured at cost assets available for sale Investments measured at fair
value through the operating profit
Other investments, measured at fair
value
assets available for sale Investments measured at fair
value through the comprehensive
income
Given loans loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Operating receivables loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Cash and cash equivalents loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost

Classification of financial instruments according to IFRS 9:

On the basis of a new standard, the Company formed an impairment model for operating liabilities, which is not only based on realised credit losses, as applicable in case of IAS 39, but on expected credit losses. On each reporting date the Company measures the value adjustments of the financial instrument for the loss as the amount, equal to expected credit losses over the whole duration.

The Company defined a new model of impairments to this end, which besides the value adjustements is based also on the value adjustments from receivables not yet due. On the basis of the internal credit rating and on the basis of the buyer's country risk the Company defined risk classifications.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The goal of the renewed standard is to give a robust framework for the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers, with clear principles and in-depth disclosures which should lead to the improved comparability of the revenue among the companies, line of business and capital markets. The basic principle of the framework is that the recognition of the revenue reflects the transfer of products and services to the customer in the amount which reflects the compensation for which the company expects it is justifiable, in exchange for these products and services. In order to achieve this goal, IFRS prescribes the application of five steps and namely:

  • step 1 identification of the contract,
  • step 2 identification of performance obligations,
  • step 3 determination of the price,
  • step 4 allocation of the transaction price,
  • step 5 recognition of the revenue

From the analyses of contracts with customers it results that the company fulfils the criteria of a new standard for the recognition of the revenue and that the obligations in contracts are adequately defined, which enables their classification and measurement as well the determination of the term of their fulfilment. Contracts with customers comprise sale of goods and services, which are accounted separately in financial statements.

69

The adoption of new standards IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers for Luka Koper, d. d. did not have any essential impact on the company's separate financial statements and meanwhile on the retained profit.

In compliance with Article 92 of MRS 37 – Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets, the company does not disclose the information about legal obligations, since their disclosure would create the judgement on the situation of the company in dispute with other customers.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

The most significant risks to which the company is exposed, include:

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

The company's management of financial risks has been organised within the company's finance and accounting department. 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 has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories. The company has recorded also other, primarily nonfinancial risks, which are described in detail under the chapter Risk management.

1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

As at 30 June 2018, the company has invested 5.4 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 prices that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal. This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies. As at 30 June 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value equity, amounted to EUR 30,362,867. This value was composed of the value of shares of Slovenian comopanies and units of mutual fund assets.

Sensivity analysis of finance investments at fair value:

Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -3,036,287
10% 3,036,287
Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 December 2017
Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -2,957,076

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 30 June 2018

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10 percent increase in the value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3,036,287. A 10 percent dcrese in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

In this case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity.

Shares and interests measured at fair value were valued at publicly applicable exchange rates at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the list of quotations of mutual funds.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect of its liability structure, the company faces also interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have an adverse effect on the planned results. In January – June 2018, the company succeeded in reducing the share of financial liabilities within its total assets from loans by 6.3 percent with respect to the balance at the end of the previous year, and as at the reporting date, these liabilities were recorded at EUR124,434,474 evrov.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liablitiesfrom loans in overall structure of liabilities decreased from initial 25.6 percent at the end of 2017 to 22.2 percent in the first half of 2018. The effect of the eventual change of variable interets on the future net profit after tax is shown in the table below.

The Company has established the interest rate hedge for the largest borrowing which matures in 2031. The instrument was stipulated in 2013 and which matured in the current year.

The sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate was based on the assumption of potential growth in interest rates of 15, 25 and 50 bp. Given the assumption that the variable interest rates of 15 resp. 25 bp, the company's interest expenses would in view of unchanged borrowing not grow. If the variable interest rates are to grow by 50 base points, the interest expenses would increase by EUR 211,948.

3. Management of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that the company will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. The company manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows with diverse maturity. Additional measures for preventing from delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate

response to any delay and charging penalty interest in accordance with the uniform policy of receivable management.

*The item includes also the borrowings from subsidiaries and asociates

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In the first half of 2018, the outstanding trade receivables do not even represent 0.1 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the company's estimates the share of trade receivables denominated in US dollars as at 30 June 2018, the risk is neglibilble from the point of view of eventual negative effects for the company.

5. Management of credit risk

Assets exposed to credit risk:

(in EUR) 30 Jun 2018 31 Dec 2017
Non-current loans 17,485 22,592

Total 124,712,572 70,343,289

The management estimates that the company's exposure to credit risk is low, an due to the risk management mechanisms put in place, there is a low likelihood of damages.

6. Risk management relating to adequate capital structure

The identification of an optimal capital structure and consequently, the approximation of the existing capital structure are of key importance for the company's performance.

Statement of compIiance

The interim Report has been compiled in accordance with the International Accounting standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The Group'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 have been compiled in euros (EUR), rounded to the nearest unit. Through these consolidated finacial statements, Luka Koper Group wants to provide the broadest sphere of users useful information on the company's performance from January to June 2018, in comparison with data for the previous year, together with the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2018 in comparison with 31 December 2017.

The non-audited financial statements of the LukaKoper Group for the reporting period are compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies and principles that were applicable in 2017 except the following changes:

As from 1st January 2018, Luka Koper Group started to apply two new standards, and namely IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers.

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

The standard determines the requirements and rules for the recognition and the measuerement of the financial instruments and replaces the standard IFRS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, recognition of their impairment and the hedge accounting

Item IAS 39 IFRS 9
Other investments, measured at cost assets available for sale Investments measured at fair value
through the operating profit
Other investments, measured at fair
value
assets available for sale Investments measured at fair value
through the comprehensive
income
Given loans loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Operating receivables loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Cash and cash equivalents loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost

Overview of the classification of financial instruments according to IFRS 9:

On the basis of a new standard the Group formed a new calculation model for the impairments calculation, which is not based only on the realised credit losses, this applies in the case of IFRS 39.On each reporting date the Group measures the value adjustments of the financial instrument for the loss as the amount, equal to expected credit losses over the whole duration.

The Group defined a new model of impairments to this end, which besides the value adjustements is based also on the value adjustments from receivables not yet due. On the basis of the internal credit rating and on the basis of the buyer's country risk the Group defined risk classifications.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The goal of the renewed standard is to give a robust framework for the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers, with clear principles and in-depth disclosures which should lead to the improved comparability of the revenue among the companies, line

of business and capital markets. The basic principle of the framework is that the recognition of the revenue reflects the transfer of products and services to the customer in the amount which reflects the compensation for which the company expects it is justifiable, in exchange for these products and services. In order to achieve this goal, IFRS prescribes the application of five steps and namely:

  • step 1 identification of the contract,
  • step 2 identification of performance obligations,
  • step 3 determination of the price,
  • step 4 allocation of the transaction price,
  • step 5 recognition of the revenue

The Group has made the effect of the impact of IFRS 15 for all Group's companies and actually perceived the impacts in the parent company.

According to a new stabndard, the Group did not have relevant differences in the recognition of the revenue from the sale of goods and services. From the analysis of the contracts with customers it results that the Group fulfils the criteria of a new standard for the recognition of the revenue and that the obligations in the contracts are adequately defined, which enables their classification and measurement as well as the determination of the term for their fulfilment. Contracts with customers comprise sale of goods and services, which are accounted separately in financial statements.

The adoption of new standards IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – revenues from contracts with customers for Luka Koper Group did not have any essential impact on the Group's financial statements and meanwhile on the retained profit.

In the event that costs exceeded the revenue, the controlling company would be utilising non-current deferred income. In comparison to the balance as at 31 December 2017 they increased by EUR 2,903,631, which is due to low investments in the regular maintenance of the port's infrastructure, as result of a delayed issue of the approval of the plan of the regular maintenance by Ministry of infrastructure ter delayed realisation due to the public procurement procedures.

Transactions with companies where Government of the Republic of Slovenia has, directly or indirectly, controlling influence

Companies with capital assets of the State are companies where the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovenian Sovereign Holding jointly hold at least 20 percent controlling interest. The list of these companies is published on the Slovenian Sovereign Holding website (https://www.sdh.si/sl-si/upravljanje-nalozb/seznam-nalozb).

In the first half of 2018, the Luka Koper Group conducted transactions in the amount of EUR 12,434,327 with companies where the Government of Slovenia has directly dominant influence, which included sales to these companies in the amount of EUR 5,789,346 and purchases in the amount of EUR 6,644,982.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

The most significant risks to which the Group is exposed, include:

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

The Group's management of financial risks has been organised within the company's finance and accounting department.The specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unprdictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

  1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

As at 30 June 2018 the Group has invested 5.5 percent of its assets (in 2017, 5.7 percent) in investments measured at fair value, whereof 95 percent pertained to the parent company.

The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets an, consequently the potential gain on their disposal. This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets. As at 30 June 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity, amounted to EUR 31,815,990. This value comprised shares of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets.

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured at fair value:

Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,181,599
10% 3,181,599

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 30 June 2018

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31December 2017

Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,080,283
10% 3,080,283

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured at fair value was based on the assumption of 10-percent increase in the value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3.181.599. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

In this case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an incresae or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity.

Shares and interests measured at fair value were valued at publicly applicable exchange rates at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the list of quotations of mutual funds.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect of its liability structure, the Group faces also interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have an adverse effect on the planned results. In the first half of 2018, the Group succeeded in reducing the share of financial liabilities within its assets by 7.1 percentage point with respect to the balance as at the end of the previous business year, as at the reporting date, these liabilities were recorded at EUR 108,434,474.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liabilities decreased from 21.8 percent at the end of 2017 to 18.8 percent at 30 June 2018. The effect of eventual change of variable interest on the future net profit is shown in the table below.

In 2013, the controlling company entered into an interest rate hedge for the largest borrowing wjhich has matured in current year.

6M EURIBOR 37,428,571 0 0 85,711
Total effect on interests expenses 85.185.296 0 0 167,375

The sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate fluctuations is based on the assumption of potential growth in interest rates of 15, 25 and 50 bp. Given the assumption that variable interest rates of 15 or 25 bp, the Group's interest expenses would in view of unchnaged borrowing not grow. If the variable interest rates are to grow by 50 base points, the interest expenses would increase by EUR 211,948.

3. Management of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. Luka Koper Group manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows required to settle liabilities with diverse matirity. Additional measures for preventing delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delays and charging

penalty interest in accordance with the Group's uniform policy of receivable management. In the last three years, due to the surplus of liquidity assets, the Group effected the prior repayment of bank loans.

*The item includes also borrowings from associates

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In the first half of 2018, the oustanding trade receivables do not even represent 0,1 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the Group's estimates, the share of trade receivables denominated in US dolars as 30 June 2018, the risk is negligible and therefore the Group didi not decided to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Assets exposed to credit risk:

The Group estimates that te Group's exposure to credit risk is low, and due to the risk management mechanisms put in place, there is a low likelihood of damages.

6. Risk management relating to adequate capital structure

The identification o fan optimal capital structure and consequently the approximation of the existing capital structure are of key importance for the Group's performance.
