LIQUID CARGOES

In January – March 2018, the throughput of liquid cargoes decreased by 14 percent in comparison with the equivalent period. The throughput of liquid cargoes registered 6 percent 6 percent increase due to the increased turnover of the fuel destined to the hinterland and domestic market. In the throughput of the petroleum products, Luka Koper Group recahed 18 percent decline in comparison with January – March 2017.

DRY AND BREAK BULK CARGOES

In January – March 2018, the maritime throughput of dry bulk and bulk cargoes stood at the same level as in January – March 2017.

In January – March 2018, the maritime throughput of the dry bulk cargoes dropped by 1 percent in comparison with the previous year.

The throughput in the product group of bulk cargoes in January – March 2018 achieved 9 percent increase in comparison with the equivalent period last year. The throughput of soya has still been increasing in the product group of dry bulk cargoes. Also the throughput of salt for the road salting has increased.

9 Non-financial investments

In January – March 2018, Luka Koper Group allocated EUR 2.1 million for the investments in the propertay, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets, which is 86 percent decline on the same period in 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, Luka Koper, d. d., allocated EUR 1.9 million for investments, which represents 92 percent of Luka Koper Group investments.

In the first quarter of 2018, Luka Koper Group implemented the following major investments:

  • Reconstruction of the existing diesel RTG cranes with aim to reduce the noise emissions.
  • Construction of the railway track 61 with aim to increase the safety of the railway traffic and to decongest the traffic.
  • Purchase of two terminal trailers fort he traction of heavy loads from RO-RO vessels.

10 Development activity

In January – March 2018, Luka Koper, d. d., further pursued its development and research activities related to the Port's development with regard to the trend in this line of business and long-term plans. Further systematic monitoring of the implementaion of four strategic which were set up at the end of 2016 and follow the company's strategic plans from 2015, was carried out. Strategic programmes comprise a series of activities, including both sales and infrastructure, as well as processes and human resources segment in order to provide adequate capacities at all levels. With respect to the set up strategic goals the company formed four strategic programmes: increase in the container throughput, increase in the car throughput, increase in the port's decongestion and increase of the containers' stuffing and unstuffing, where are the opportunities fort he value-added logistics. Due to full occupancy of the existing port's capacities, an important emphasis is still put on a faster implementation of the priority infrastructure projects and the opportunities for the obtainement of grants for their financing. The challenges arise also in new technologies, disposal and processing of sediments in order to increase and maintain the port's depths, environmental (nouise management), energy and safety topics, IT issues and also the novelties in the market.

In January - March 2018, intensive activies were carried out in relation to the European projects, primarily in the projects of the programme CEF, where Luka Koper,d. d. strived to optimally draw the granted funds for the projects with concrete development challenges and infrastructural needs of the port, also in the light of the implementation of the corridor policy of the European Union:

  • The activities related to the projects NAPA4CORE, GAINN4MOS, Fresh Food Corridors, CarEsmatic in ELEMED (Luka Koper, d.d. is the coordinator in the projects NAPA4CORE, Fresh Food Corridors in CarEsmatic) were further implemented.
  • Intensive preaprations were made fort he application on the call CEF Blending Call, which was submitted in 2018 , and for Luka Koper the cofinancing of the entrance into the port at Sermin was proposed as a part of the Motorway of the Sea fort he segment of the cars transhipment. The application was submitted jointly with then Port Authority of Valencia for the railway access to the car terminal in the Port of Sagunto. According to last information, there were a lot of applications, therefore the probability of the selection is relatively small.

Within the programme Obzorje 2020, dealing with development and reserch issued, the project SAURON, related to the information and cybernetic security, and of which implementaion started in May 2017, was carried on.

As concerns the project related to the territorial cooperation, where the topics are regionally oriented and the cooperation concerns softer topics with emphasis on partnership projects, in the first quarter of 2018, three projects of a new programme ADRION: SUPAIR, related to the sustainable dvelopment of ports and mitigation of the environmental impacts were activated, as well as ADRIPASS and ISTEN, related to the intermodality and the decongestion in the logistic chains connecting the ports. There are the opportunities fort he implemnentation of the company's concrete needs, both as concerns the IT solutions as well as the environmental issues (primarily the noise). Also the project SecNet on the crossborder programme Slovenia-Italy, where three North Adriatic ports cooperate (Koper, Trieste, Venice) and which addresses the port's security, was carried on. Luka Koper, d.d. applied with three projects to a new call of the programme Central Europe, but the results are still under the assessment.

The programmes of the European territorial cooperation are important since they place the Port of Koper within the European institutional setting mainly from the point of view of planning and development of national and trans-european transport infrastructure, logistic concepts, environmental protection, security, maritime protection, sustainable energy supply, informacijskih posodobitev, cultural heritage and similar.

Within the European Structural Funds, the Competence center Logistika, which supports then education and the development of competences, was carried on. Within the framework of intelligent specialization projects, the company continued the implementation of the project RRI (Exploitment of the bio-mass potential for the development of advanced materials and bio-based products), through the which Luka Koper studies the dredged sediments and the opportunity of their further use.

In the past period, Luka Koper still endeavoured to obtain a solution also on the cofunding of the Cruise terminal, since the project documentation is at an advanced stage and it is important to obtain a final response for the decision of Luka Koper with respect to the implementatioon of the project. There is still no final solutiomn, since various variants of the cooperation with the Municipality of Koper and the support of the Ministry of the Economic Development and Technology.

From the point of view of the European institutional cooperation, in January 2018, Luka Koper, d.d. attended the executive committee of the European Sea Port Organisation ESPO and in March presented the development plans in the occasion of the Green Logistics held in Padova, which hosted the meeting of the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean Corridor. In March Luka Koper made a presentation within the SBRA and at the conference of the Slovenian Transport and Logistics in Brussels.

However, it should be emphasized that the Port of Koper is well known to the European institutional stakeholders, but the support of the State and the understanding of the port's activity is of the utmost importance for further port's development.

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, a continunuous improvement of environmental management system, objective and regular assessment of performance of such systems, provision of information about the environmental performance, open dialogue with public and intererste parties and active involvement of employees are required. All Luka Koper, d. d., employees and meanwhile all responsible staff for the maintenance of the established system have contributed to the keeping the highest environmental standard.

13.1 Care for the environment

Being aware that the port's impacts on the environment occur, Luka Koper committed itself in its business policy to the sound environmental managemnet 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 2018:

  • To successfully carry out the sustainabiliy report in compliance with GRI standards,
  • To successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements,
  • To reduce emissions of dust at all ten port's locations below 250 mg/m2dan day and max 5 deviations from od 120/tih measurements in the course of the year,
  • To retain the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μ g/m3 in the entire Port's area (in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki),
  • To keep the percentage of separately collected waste above 89 percent,
  • To decrease 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 0,25l/t, fo 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 the water for fire extinguishing in the entire port's area and the provision of an adequate provision of fire-fighting 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). By complying with norms fort he obtainment of the most significant environmental certificate EMAS, the company's strategic guidelines are achieved. In 2018, Luka Koper, d.d. must remedy the issue of noisy vessels.

13.3 Atmospere

Striving for a constant reduction in emissions that are produced by the performance of port activities involves many activities. The most important measure for the reduction of 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.

13.3.1 Total volume of dust at the Port

Control measurements of the total volume of dust are carried by Luka Koper, d. d., yert from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. We have set a goal not to exceede 250 mg/m2day and the average of measurement values for the reported period is 119 mg/m2day. In this period we recorded one 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 emasurements taken in the first quarter of 2018 were below the target value of 30 μg/m3 and statutory set up volume of 40 μg/m3. The results from two measurements devices are shown automatically every hours on the Port's web page online Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

13.3.3 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 pertmitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3 . The company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2018.

13.4 Waste manageemnt

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of Luka Koper, d.d. committment for the the environment, Luka Koper regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processinng. The waste separtions 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 quarter of 2018, we achieved 90 percent of waste separation and we exceeded the set objective of 89 percent of sorted and separately collected waste.

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.

Level of noise in the first quarter of 2018, remained similar to those compared between the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, somwhere slightly increase, somwhere slightly decreased.

The results of the measurements in the front of the first residential buildings towards Koper show the exceeded evening, night and day-eveniong-night limit values .The daily noise level is within the statutory prescribed limits. The results of the noise measurement in the front of the first buildings towards Ankaran and Bertoki are complaint with the legislation. Yet in 2017, an action plan for the noise reduction was prepared and the pertaining activities have been intensively performed.

Main sources of noise in the Port of Koper nevertheless remain due to the goods handling operations and due to 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.

13.6 Energy

Six 22 kW charging stations for electric vehicles for the customers' needs were placed in the port, which started to tranship the electric vehicles through the Port of Koper.

Within the EU project ELEMED, the study on technical options of connecting vessels to the external power network, when berthed in the port. Additional 78 MW power will be needed for the power supply of vessels in the port.

13.6.1 Consumption of energy and water

In the first quarter 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 the use of the electric energy for the pogon dvigal 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 quarter of 2018 in comparison with 2017. The reason in a lower specific water consumption in the first quarter of 2018 in comparison with 2017 lays in a slightly absolute water consumption and increased throughput.

Electricity consumption

The major consumer of the electric power in the port is the Container terminal, followed b the Dry bulk and bulk terminal. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff cold storage rooms at the Reefer terminal, conveyor belts for the 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 fuel is used in the port's working processes. The major consumers are rubber tired gantry cranes RtGs, terminal tractors, reach stackers, railway track vehicles, forklifts and tractors. In January - March 2018, the major consumer of the motor fuel was the Container terminal, which consumed 61 per cent of the motor fuel.

Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and for this reasons numerous satfety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for the supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important.

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

Potable water waterotable water

The consumption of the potable water does not depend directly on the throughput. Due to a a growing occupancy of the port and a large number of trucks additional leakeges on the water distribution network. In the first quarter of 2018, several measurements of the quality of the potable water within the port's network. No microbiological contamination was recorded in the water supply network.

Waste waters

In the port mainly urban waste waters are generate and to a lower extent industrial waste water. Generated industrial waste waters and prior to the discharge they are adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants,urban waste waters mainly in the Koper central waste treatment plant.

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

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. The company formed the value adjustment of receivables from outstanding liabilities with respect to the risk assessment, made for customers, of which overall turnover in a defined period exceeded 98 percent of all receivables.

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 crieria 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.

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

Financial instruments and financial risk management

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

    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 management of financial risks has been organised within the compnay's finance and accounting department. The specifics of tzhe 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 31 March 2018, the company has invested 5,5 percent of its assets (at the end of the previous year 5,7 percent) in investments measured at fair value. 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 31 March 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity, amounted to EUR 29,334,473. This value was composed of the value of shares of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets.

Sensivity analysis of finance investments at fair value:

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 March 2018

Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -2,933,447
10% 2,933,447

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

Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -2,957,076
10% 2,957,076

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 2,933,447. 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.

Fair value of the interest rate swap was calculated by the bank.

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 – March 2018, the company succeeded in reducing the share of financial liabilities within its total assets by 3.2 percent 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 128,882,256.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liabilities decreased from 25.7 percent at the end of 2017 to 24.3 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The effect of the eventual change of variable interest on the future net profit after tax is shown in the table below.

In 2013 the controlling company, entered into an interest rate hedge for the largest borrowing with maturity in 2031. The instrument matures in the current year. As at 31 March 2018, the borrowing hedged against interest rate risk amounted to EUR 30,983,607 (as at 31 December 2017, it amounted to EUR 31,557,377). Possible change in variable interest rates could have an impact on 63.5 percent of total company's borrowings (at the end of 2017, this share amounted to 64.2 percent); as the residual 36.5 percent were hedged against possible change in variable interest rates.

The sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate fluctuations was 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 resp. 25 bp, the company's interest expenses would in view of unchanged borrowing not grow. If the variabile interest rates are to grow by 50 base points, the interest expenses would increase by EUR 161,742.

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 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 quarter of 2018, the outstanding trade receivables do not even represent 0,5 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the company's estimates the share of trade receivables denominated in US dollars as at 31 March 2018, the risk is negligible from the point of view of eventual negative effects for the company.

5. Management of credit risk

Assets exposed to credit risk:

Guarantees and collaterals granted 5,681,243 5,810,467
Total 89,638,869 71,123,567

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

  • Adria Investicije, d. o. o., 100%

The companies Adria Investicije, d. o. o. and Logis Nova, d. o. o. were not included in the consolidated financial statements as they operate in a limited scope and are not considered significant for a fair presentation of the Group's financial position.

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 March 2018, in comparison with data for the previous year, together with the Group's financial position as at 31 March 2018 in comparison with 31 December 2017.

The non-audited financial statements of the Luka Koper 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
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 loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Operating receivables loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and
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 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. The company formed the value adjustment of receivables from outstanding liabilities with respect to the risk assessment, made for customers, of which overall turnover in a defined period exceeded 98 percent of all receivables.

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 impact on the Group's financial statements and meanwhile on the retained profit.

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 comaonies is published on the Slovenian Sovereign Holding website (https://www.sdh.si/sl-si/upravljanje-nalozb/seznam-nalozb).

Financial instruments and financial risk management

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

    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. mangeemnt of credit risk and
    1. risk manegement relating to adequate capital structure.

The Group's managemnt 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 31 March 2018, the Group has invested 5.6 percent of its assets (at the end of 2017 5.7 percent), in investments measured at faire value, whereof 96 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 and, 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 31 March 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity, amounted to EUR 30,565,933.

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured at fair value:

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 March 2018
Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -3,056,593
10% 3,056,593
Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 December 2017
Change of index in % Impact on
equity
-10% -3,080,283

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured 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 3,056,593. 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.

Fair value of the interest rate swap was calculated by the bank.

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 quarter of 2018, the Group succeeded in reducing the share of financial liabilities within its assets by 5.7 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 112,882,256.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liabilities decreased from 22 percent at the end of 2017 to 21 percent at 31 March 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 with maturity in 2031. The instrument matures in 2018. As at 31 March 2018, the borrowing hedged against interest rate risk amounted to EUR 30,983,607. Possible change in variable interest rates could have an impact on 72.5 percent of total Group's borrowings (in 2017, this share amounted to 73.0 percent), as the residual 27.5 percent were hedged against possible change in variable interest rates.

The interest rate hedging instrument was during the hedging period fully compliant with the borrowing that is subject of the relevant hedge. The Group recognised possible changes to instrument's market values in the items of equity. The derivative interest rate is carried in the books of the account under the principle of hedge accounting.

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 variabble 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 161,742.

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 maturity. 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 quarter of 2018, the oustanding trade receivables do not even represent 0.5 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the Group's estimates the share of trade receivables denominated in US dollars as at 31 March 2018, the risk is negligible and therefore the Group did not decided to hedge this item.
