Herewith we are presenting our unaudited consolidated financial report for FY2023 and 4Q FY2023, ended 30th June 2023. This was the second year of full-scale military invasion of Russia, massive artillery shelling and rocket attacks, occupation of certain regions of Ukraine and significant civilian casualties.
In the midst of on-going military actions, disruptions of supply chains, infrastructure damage and challenges related to ensuring the safety of workers operations within the Company's business became notably complicated. Taking into account the impossibility of conducting mining activities in mines located directly in the war zone, the company's Management Board in decided to transfer most of the operational activities to European Union countries. Transferring part of the activities to the European Union, using the knowledge and competences of the management staff in the search for and extraction of minerals other than coal are the most important elements of the new strategy. In line with this strategy further in 2024FY the Company has acquired three assets: LLC UKRMINERAL TRADING (Ukraine), ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES Sp. z o.o. (Poland) and GREENTECH SOLUTIONS Sp. z o.o. (Poland).
By the end of 2022 calendar year the Company sold 79.92% of shares in the Svyato-Pokrovska mine (Tekhinovatsiya LLC) that was mining thermal coal. Mine St.Matrona was working on maintaining systems and ensuring safety and security of facilities of the site during second half of FY2023. As of the day of this report military clashes have intensified and the line of military actions is shifting due to Russia's occupation of more territories in the East of the country, where the St. Matrona mine is located. These events prevent the Company's management from planning the resumption of coal mining operations in Ukraine.
Summarized highlights of the 4Q FY2023 and FY2023 are presented below:
I am more than convinced that the decision to initially transfer the operational activities to European Union countries and in the near future to other continents will be reflected in positive information about the company's financial data. These data will certainly be an impulse for investors to become interested in the assets of our company and an incentive to increase the importance of Coal Energy in the minds of capital market participants
With best regards, Viktor Vyshnevetskyy Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer
Coal Energy S.A. (hereinafter "Coal Energy" or "the Company" or "the Group") incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a holding company for a group of 6 companies operating in the mining industry (as of the day of publication of this report). In July 2011 the Group placed 25% of its shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange via initial public offering.

The Company's principal business comprises of underground coal mining and sale of coking coal and providing mining services. The war in Ukraine and the location of the Company's mine in the fighting area make it practically impossible for the Company to conduct mining and commercial activities. Therefore, in accordance with the decision adopted by the Management Board, the Company plans to use the intellectual potential and its employees to conduct business abroad.
On December 22, 2022, the Company sold 79.92% of shares in the "Svyato-Pokrovska" mine to the LLC "Shidna Vugledobuvna Grupa". The transaction value amounted to USD 1.3 million. The proceeds from the sale of shares are divided into tranches. At the same time, after the end of hostilities in Ukraine and the implementation of the mine modernization project, for each tonne of coal mined by the buyer, Coal Energy will be entitled to a "royalty" in the amount of \$2 per tonne.
Coal Energy Cyprus Limited has been dissolved. The Group accounted this disposal as of 31 March 2023.
As of 4 July 2023, Coal Energy Trading Limited has been dissolved. Detailed description of the following liquidation will be presented in the appropriate financial statements.
Subsequently, as was reported, after ending of the reporting period on December 2023 the Company has signed an agreement on acquisition of 100% of shares of ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES Sp. z o.o. - company registered in Katowice, Poland. LLC
ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES was established in 2018 and provides underground mining services to coal mines in Poland.
Further in January 2024 ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES (Poland) jointly with DSB GROUP Sp. Zo.o. have incorporated GREENTECH SOLUTIONS Sp. z o.o. in Poland. The authorized capital of the new Company is 100 000 PLN, each party holds 50% share. The main activity of the new company will be the reclamation and processing of industrial rock dumps and mine waste dumps, as well as the reclamation of lands disturbed by man-made activities.
Coal output for the FY2023 comprised 9.3 thousand tonnes as the Company did not conduct mining operations in the second half of FY2023 as opposed to 25.3 thousand tonnes in FY2022. The table below shows mining volumes by types of coal (numbers are rounded):
| in thousand of tonnes | FY2023 | FY2022 | change in % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal coal | 9.3 | 19.7 | (52.8%) |
| Coking coal | - | 5.6 | - |
| Total mining | 9.3 | 25.3 | (63.2%) |
In FY2023 Ukrainian economy was affected by military invasion and hostilities from Russian Federation.
Meanwhile according to International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2023 global demand for coal was rising by 1.4%, surpassing 8.5 billion tonnes for the first time. Russia's invasion of Ukraine significantly altered coal trade dynamics, price levels and supply and demand patterns. After the start of the full-scale invasion in Ukraine coal mining decreased considerably, due to the fact that about 60% of the country's coal deposits are occupied by Russia. Also, since the implementation of martial law certain government restrictions were introduced to address energy security concerns, like prohibition of anthracite export or quotas on coking coal export. Coal import volumes have been heavily hit by lower demand from domestic consumers and disruption of supply chains, as Ukrainian Black Sea ports have been shut down and Ukraine couldn't import coal by sea. According to authorities the priority of Ukraine in the near future is the diversification of logistics routes due to the expansion of land transport corridors to the EU in order to reduce dependence on maritime exports. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, several western countries and institutions imposed sanctions on Russia, including exclusion from the international payment system SWIFT, impeding the settlement of Russian coal trades in dollars. Furthermore, the European Union implemented a ban on Russian coal effective from August 2022, and some Japanese and Korean utilities announced their intention to cease buying Russian coal. (in 2021, the European Union, Japan and Korea collectively accounted for about 40% of Russian coal exports).
According to State Statistics Service industrial production in Ukraine in the first half of 2023 decreased by 2.9%, while in 2022 during this period the fall amounted to 31.9%. According to the sectors for January-June 2023, the greatest decrease by 11.4% was noted in the supply of electricity, gas and steam, while mining industry declined by 9.2%. Metallurgy, which has historically been among the locomotives of the Ukrainian economy and exports in particular,
incurred the most extensive losses with loss of the assets located mainly in the East and South of the country. In total, in the first half of 2023, 2.83 million tonnes of steel were produced in Ukraine, which is 37.0% less than in January-June 2022. In January-April 2023, Ukraine reduced electricity production by 19.4% as compared to the same period of 2022. As before, more than half of electricity in the country continues to produce atomic generation, and thermal power plants are ranked second.
The National Bank improved its estimate of Ukrainian real GDP growth in 2023 up to 5.7%, maintained growth expectations for 2024 at 3.6% and worsened its forecast for 2025 to 5.8%.The National Bank noted, among other positive factors, the high adaptability of business and the population to war conditions, as well as a soft fiscal policy, which was supported by international financing.
In FY2023 the Group employed 47 employees (weighted average headcount) demonstrating a decrease by 29.8% y-o-y. As the operations facilities were in the sustained/idled mode the headcount of personnel is declining. The Company used subcontractor services for underground mining thus headcount of mining personnel also decreased.

The Company's business is dependent on the global market price of coal. Sale prices and volumes in the worldwide coal market depend predominantly on the prevailing and expected levels of demand for and supply of coal, mainly from energy and steel manufacturers. But the
company's financial results will increasingly depend on the situation on the coal market in the countries where the company will operate. In general, European countries are taking steps to slowly move away from coal mining, but at the same time, more and more attention is being paid to the extraction of other minerals that may also be of interest to the Company.
The Company's production costs and costs of technologies applied by the Company may increase
The Company's main production expenses are energy costs, salaries and consumables. Due to the company's new strategy, which provides for the transfer of operations abroad, it is expected that there will be additional costs related to starting operations in new markets, acquiring new entities and acquiring customers..
The Company's activity may be impacted by limited banking financing for its projects and operating activity as well as local currency devaluation
In order to continue investment program at the levels which would allow reaching the expected targets the Company needs external financing. Macroeconomic and political instability in the country make the banks reassess their country risk policies and they may either stop providing new financing to customers or even lower their credit exposures.
Macroeconomic instability could also push the population to transfer their savings into US\$ (creating devaluating pressure on the local currency) and/or even to take their savings away from the banking system which may additionally squeeze the banking system's liquidity.
During the last years foreign currency loans had a more attractive interest rate, had longer tenors of financing and were easier available than local currency (hryvnia) loans, hence foreign currency loans may be more attractive in general.
Nevertheless foreign currency loans expose to the exchange rate risks which may inflate liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies in case of local currency devaluation. In order to fulfil obligations under the conditions of limited export proceeds restructuring may be needed with the goal of extending maturities and postponing interest payments until the markets rebound and sufficient resources are accumulated to cover the realized risk.
The majority of existing loan facilities is either in the process of restructuring or in the "on hold" status.
The Company's activity may be influenced by political instability and/or uncertainty and escalation of military conflict in Ukraine
The risk has been realized: the ongoing war with Russian Federation may lead to damages to assets and inventories in scope which will make it impossible or economically not viable to restore them.
Mitigation of the risk is mainly outside of control of the Company on macro level at the same time the company has set a course to diversify its business outside of Ukraine (outside the military conflict).
Liquidity risk
The Company is in constant dialogue with its current financing banks in order to secure timely rolling over and extending of the credit facilities. Nevertheless the ability of banking institutions to lend depends highly on country risks of Ukraine and there own liquidity (UAH liquidity is formed mainly from the deposits of the local individuals and enterprises) which diminishes dramatically in the times of macroeconomic and political instability.
The Company is cooperating with a number of private commercial banks which are subject to the regulations of the Ukrainian authorities. Banks' ability to perform in accordance with such regulations is out of control of the Company. Nevertheless if banks fail to comply with the Ukrainian legislation the regulator may impose various sanctions against them which may influence the ability of such banks to provide financing resources or might force the banks to draw back the financial resources provided to the Company if the Company does not fulfil obligations according to the loan agreements.
The Company can not mitigate the risk that the banks may demand early repayment and the Company will not be able to fund refinancing for such funds.
The Company has decided to observe the majority of the WSE Corporate Governance Rules included in the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies to the form and extent determined by the Resolution No. 19/1307/2012 of the Exchange Supervisory Board dated November 21, 2012. However, certain principles apply to the Company accordingly, with due observance of Luxembourg corporate law and the Company's corporate structure, especially the single board structure as opposed to the two-tier system that the WSE Corporate Governance Rules assume. The Company does not have two separate governing bodies (supervisory board and management board) which are obligatory in Polish joint stock companies. Instead, the Board of Directors of the Company performs both the management and supervisory functions. As a result, the Company applies those principles of the WSE Corporate Governance Rules which refer to relations between supervisory board and management board not directly, but accordingly. In all cases, the Company endeavours to create procedures maintaining the spirit of all rules applied accordingly. Therefore, the Company is of an opinion that it complies with the rules that refer to relations between supervisory board and management board or to the functioning of those bodies.

| 10. A company should enable its shareholders to participate in a General Meeting using electronic communication means through: 1) real-life broadcast of General Meetings; 2) real-time bilateral communication where shareholders may take the floor during a General Meeting from a location other than the General Meeting. |
Currently, the Company complies with this recommendation partially. Articles of Association of the Company provide that all the meetings take place in Luxembourg, in the place specified in the convening note and the Company has not implemented the technology enabling real-life broadcasting or real-time bilateral communication. The Company however supports its shareholders to exercise their voting rights by authorizing the proxies who are bound by instruction or a third party. The company does not preclude the possibility of providing shareholders with real-time bilateral communication during General Meetings in the future. |
The Company has a one-tier corporate governance structure and is administered and managed by the Board of Directors.

For the purposes of theses consolidated financial statements, Coal Energy S.A. ("Parent company") and its subsidiaries have been presented as the Group as follows:
| Parent company and its subsidiaries | Country of incorporation | Group shareholding, % as of | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2023 | 30 June 2022 | |||
| Coal Energy S.A. | Luxembourg | Parent | Parent | |
| Nertera Investments Limited | Cyprus | 100,00 | 100,00 | |
| C.E.C. Coal Energy Cyprus Limited** | Cyprus | - | 100,00 | |
| Coal Energy Trading Limited | British Virgin Islands | 100,00 | 100,00 | |
| Tekhinovatsiya LLC* | Ukraine | - | 99,92 | |
| CwAL LE "Mine St.Matrona Moskovskaya" | Ukraine | 99,00 | 99,00 | |
| Perspective resources LLC** | Ukraine | 100,00 | 100,00 |
The parent company, Coal Energy S.A., was incorporated in Luxembourg as a joint stock company on 17 June 2010. The registered office is located at 33 rue du Puits Romain, L-8070 Bertrange, Luxembourg and the Company number with the Registre de Commerce is B 154144. Principal activities of the Group are coal mining, coal beneficiation, waste dumps processing and sales of marketable coal. Major production facilities are located in Donetsk region of Ukraine.
* As of 22 December 2022, the Group had sold 79.92% of shares in Tekhinovatsiya LLC and Tekhinovatsiya LLC has been disposed from the Group.
** As of 30 June 2021, C.E.C. Coal Energy Cyprus Limited has been dissolved. The Group accounted this disposal as of 31 March 2023.
As of 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Russian missiles began to hit locations across Ukraine as well as Russian ground forces entered the country.
During the year ended 30 June 2023, Ukrainian hryvna officially devaluated by 25% against USD. National Bank of Ukraine remained key rate at 25% and continued numerous currency restrictions to stabilize foreign exchange market and inflation rates.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance to International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by European Union requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying of the Group`s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of USD, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
During the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group recorded USD 2 913 thousand of net loss (during the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group recorded USD 695 thousand of net loss). The Group suspended operation activity of CwAL LE "Mine St.Matrona Moskovskaya" since the full-scale war actions in Ukraine.
As of the date of publication of these financial statements, the Management had no ability to accurately evaluate losses caused by invasion factors. Management makes the best possible steps to maintain suspended activity.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income. Costs appeared in connection with the purchase of subsidiaries are recognized as expenses.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Subsequent to the loss of control of a subsidiary the value of remained share is revalued at fair value that influences the amount of income/loss from the disposal.
Before June 30, 2010 the Parent company did not have direct or indirect ownership interest in consolidated entities included in the consolidated financial statements. The pooling of interest method was applied for business combinations under common control for the earlier periods.
Financial statements of Parent company and its Subsidiaries, which are used while preparing the consolidated financial statements, should be prepared as at the same date on the basis of consistent application of accounting policy for all companies of the Group.
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. The result of disposals to non-controlling interests being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary are reflected in statements of changes in equity. Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.
Non-controlling interests are derecognized when purchased, a subsidiary sold or liquidated and profit or loss on de-recognition is recorded in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
The Group has not applied the following standards and IFRIC interpretations and amendments to them that have been issued but are not yet effective:
The Group anticipates that the adoption of these standards and amendments in future periods will have no material impact on its financial statements. The Group currently does not plan early application of the above standards and interpretations.
All items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the "functional currency"). The national currency of Ukraine, Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH") is the functional currency for the Group's entities that operate in Ukraine. For the entities that operate in Cyprus, Luxembourg and British Virgin Islands (BVI) the functional currency is US dollar ("USD"). These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Exchange rates used in the preparation of these in interim consolidated financial statements were as follows:

The Group mines and sells coal commodities. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue from rendering services is recognized based on the stage of work completion under each contract. When financial result can be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent of the amount of incurred charges, which can be recovered.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Income tax is recognized as an expense or income in profit and loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to estimate the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date, in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except:
where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, and the assets replaced are retired. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in item 'Other non-operating income (expenses)' in the statement of comprehensive income.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Underground mining | 40 - 80 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings and constructions | 35 - 50 years |
| Machinery, equipment and vehicles | 5 - 10 years |
| Other | 3 - 5 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Mine development costs are capitalized and classified as capital construction-in-progress. Mine development costs are transferred to mining assets when a new mine reaches commercial production quantities. Capital construction-in-progress comprises costs directly related to construction of buildings, infrastructure, machinery and equipment. Cost also includes finance charges capitalized during construction period where such costs are financed by borrowings. Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are put into operation
All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group's incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.
On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:
Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if, rarely, this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.
When the Group revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, it re-assesses the probability of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortized over the remaining (revised) lease term.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Research costs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development (relating to the design, construction and testing of new or improved devices, products, processes or systems) are recognized as intangible assets only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of adequate resources to complete the development, and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Other development expenditures are recognized as an expense as incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the following economic useful lives of these assets:
| Licenses, special permissions and patent rights | 5 - 20 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Other intangible assets | 5 - 10 years |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level.
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use.
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the original carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of the comprehensive income.
The Group classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; held-to-maturity investments; available for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. The Group's financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, loan and other receivables. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable markets. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. This category includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
(b) Loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables include trade and other receivables. Loans are financial assets arising as a result of provision of funds to borrower.
(c) Held-to-maturity investments. Investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, other than loans and receivables originated by the Group, are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Such investments are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within twelve months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.
(d) Available-for-sale financial assets. Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale; these are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the reporting date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are accounted at fair value through equity.
Subsequent to initial recognition all financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and all available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is stated at cost, including transaction costs, less impairment losses.
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity assets are measured at amortized cost less impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest rate method. Premiums and discounts, including initial transaction costs, are included in the carrying amount of the related instrument and amortized based on the effective interest rate of the instrument.
Receivables are accounted at net realizable value, less the allowance for doubtful debts. The amount of allowance for doubtful debts is accounted by using the method of total amount of doubtful debts.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred 'loss event') and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of receivables, loans issued where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance for impairment. When a trade or other or loans issued receivables is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. On basis of the facts confirming that receivables or loans issued, previously recognized as doubtful, at the reporting date are not doubtful, the amount of previously charged reserve is reflected in income of the reporting period. Except for available-for-sale assets, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss reverses directly through profit and loss account. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized at the date the impairment is reversed.
When a decline in fair value of an available-for-sale investment has been recognized directly in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that investment is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income even though the investment has not been derecognized. Impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income are not reversed. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
The Group derecognizes financial assets when:
or the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets;
or the Group has neither transferred not retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership but has not retained control. Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party without needing to impose additional restrictions on the sale.
The Group classifies its contractual obligations as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings. The Group classifies its financial liabilities at initial recognition. Financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction cost. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft, loans and borrowings.
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
(a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and those designated at initial recognition as liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
(b) Loans and borrowings. Loans and borrowings are financial liabilities which the Group has after borrowings attraction. Loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities except when the Group has unconditional right to delay settlement of obligation at least for 12 months.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized through profit or loss.
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is assigned by using the FIFO cost formula.
The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of work in progress and finished goods includes costs of raw materials, direct labor and other direct productions costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).
The Group periodically analyses inventories to determine whether they are damaged, obsolete or slow-moving or if their net realizable value has declined and makes an allowance for such inventories. If such situation occurred, the sum remissive the cost of inventories should be reflected in statements of comprehensive income. If the circumstances that caused the write-down no longer exist, the amount of the write-down is reversed.
At the date of financial statements preparation, the Group estimates the balances of finished products to determine whether there is any evidence of impairment. Amount of impairment is measured based on the analysis of prices in the market of such inventories, existed at the reporting date and issued in official sources.
Value added tax (VAT) output equals the total amount of VAT collected within a reporting period and arises on the earlier of the date of shipping goods to a customer or the date of receiving payment from the customer. VAT input is the amount that a taxpayer is entitled to offset against his VAT liability in a reporting period. Rights to VAT input arise on the earlier of the date of payment to the supplier or the date goods are received. Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized less VAT amount, except cases, when VAT arising on purchases of assets or services, is not recoverable by tax authority; in this case VAT is recognized as part of purchase costs or part of item of expenses respectively. Net amount of VAT, recoverable by tax authority or paid, is included into accounts receivable and payable, reflected in consolidated statements of financial position.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less.
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and short-term deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Nominal value of share capital of Parent company is specified in Note 24.
Luxembourg companies are required to allocate to a legal reserve a minimum of 5% of the annual net income, until this reserve equals 10% of the subscribed share capital. This reserve may not be distributed.
The Group contributes to the Ukrainian state pension scheme, social insurance and employment funds in respect of its employees. The Group's pension scheme contributions are expensed as incurred. The contributions are included in expenses for wages and salaries. Companies comprising the Group provide additional post-employment benefits to those employees who are engaged in the industry with particularly detrimental and oppressive conditions of work. Under the Ukrainian legislation employees engaged in hazardous industry may retire earlier than usual terms stipulated by Employee Retirement Income Security Law. The Group reimburses to the State Pension Fund all pension payments which are to be paid to the employees until usual statutory date of retirement. In addition, according to the legislation, the Group makes payments related to providing the employees with domestic fuel (coal). The Group recognizes the liabilities in amount of this payment.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of post-employment benefits is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the other comprehensive income statements in the period in which they occur.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has legal or constructive obligations as the result of past event for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits can be required to settle the obligations, and the amount of the obligations can be reliably estimated. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, it's carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. Use of discounting results in recognition of financial expenses and increase in provision.
Management created provision for the payment of potential tax liabilities related to settlement of financial assets and liabilities. Though if the controlling authorities classify such transactions as a subject of taxation and apply such classification to the companies of the Group, actual taxes and penalties may differ from the Management assessment.
Environmental obligations include decommissioning and land restoration costs. The Group evaluates the provisions associated with ecological problems separately on every occasion taking into account the requirements of the relevant legislative acts.
Future decommissioning costs, discounted to net present value, are capitalized and the corresponding decommissioning obligations are raised as soon as the constructive obligation to incur such costs arises and the future decommissioning cost can be reliably estimated. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the asset.
The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the comprehensive income statement as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset. The amount deducted from the cost of the asset shall not exceed it's carrying amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provision for land restoration, representing the cost of restoring land damage after the commencement of commercial production, is estimated at net present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation. Change in provision and unwinding of discount on land restoration are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Ongoing rehabilitation costs are expensed when incurred.
Management on annual basis assesses probability of risks that can be arising in relation of financial guarantee contracts through financial analysis of counterparties. If the risk is significant – financial guarantee contracts must be recognized as liabilities in notes to consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 37. Otherwise – if risk is insignificant – financial guarantee contracts liabilities must be disclosed as off-balance sheet liabilities.
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements:
Management assesses the remaining useful life of property, plant and equipment in accordance with the current technical conditions of assets and estimated period when these assets bring economic benefit to the Group.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes (coal price, sales volume) and to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
For the purpose of estimation of defined benefit obligation, the projected unit credit method was used, which includes the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of high-quality government bonds with extrapolated maturities corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
The Group's mining and processing activities are susceptible to various environmental laws and regulations changes. The Group estimates environmental obligations based on management's understanding of the current legal requirements, terms of the license agreements and internally generated estimates. Provision is made, based on net present values, for decommissioning and land restoration costs as soon as the obligation arises. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ materially from the amounts provided. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Group company's domicile.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. If actual results differ from these estimates or if these estimates must be adjusted in future periods, the financial position and results of operations may be negatively affected.
Due to volatility of the coal market production capacity of the Group's individual Companies in some periods could be operated not according to its normal capacity of the production facilities. In the case of significant deviation of the actual capacity from the normal capacity, part of the fixed production overheads is reflected in item "Idle capacity expenses".
Management of the Group uses estimations and judgments to determine the following items: normal capacity of the individual companies, the period of the partial exploitation of the production capacity, amount of overheads that should be allocated.
Measurement of expected credit losses (ECL) is a significant estimate that involves determination methodology, models and data inputs. The Group regularly reviews and validates the models and inputs to the models to reduce any differences between expected credit loss estimates and actual credit loss experience.
The Group's management applies significant assumptions in measurement and reflection of reserves and risks of exposure to contingent liabilities, related to existing legal proceedings and other unsettled claims, and also other contingent liabilities. Management's judgment is required in estimating the probability of a secured claim against the Group or incurring material liabilities, and in determining feasible amount of the final settlement or liabilities. Due to uncertainty inherent to the process of estimation, actual expenses may differ from the initial estimates. Such preliminary estimates may alter as far as new information is received, from internal specialists within the Group, if any, or from third parties, such as lawyers. Revision of such estimates may have significant effect on the future results of operating activity.
Contingent liabilities are determined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Measurement of contingent liabilities is tightly connected with development of significant judgments and estimates relating to the consequences of such future events.
The group defines the following business segments that include goods and services distinguished by the level of risk and terms of income:
Management controls the results of operating segments separately for the purpose of decision making about allocation of resources and performance measurement. The results of segments are estimated on profit/(loss) before tax.

The operations and earnings of the Group are affected by political, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments. It is impossible to predict the nature and frequency of these developments and events associated with these risks as well as their effect on future operations and earnings of the Group.
Ukrainian tax legislation is characterized by frequent changes is subject to controversial interpretations. Tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and tax assessments. Such cases create a taxation risk exposure which considerably exceeds that of the countries with more advanced tax systems. Management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation as of 30 June 2023 is appropriate and all of the Croup's tax will be sustainable. Though, amount of VAT recoverable, as well as terms of such refunds substantially depends on the position of tax authorities.
The Group is continuing to be subject to reform initiatives in the Ukraine. The future direction and effects of any reforms are the subject of political considerations, which could have a significant but undeterminable, effect on entities operating in the Group.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risks are managed centrally. This note presents information about Group's exposure of each type of risks, objectives of risk management, policy and procedures of assessment and management, as well as approaches to capital management. Additional qualitative and quantitative information are disclosed through overall consolidated financial statements.
Credit risk is a risk of financial loss to the Group, which results from failure of a buyer or a contractor under the financial instrument to fulfill its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits in banks as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.
Financial assets are subject to the credit risk of the Group. Management of the Group assesses the credit risk as for financial assets on the year basis considering counterparties financial position, credit reputation, background cooperation and other factors.
The Group recognizes allowance for receivables to secure trade and other receivables. The calculation of the allowance's amount is based on individual assessment of the financial position of the contractor. Group's Management performs monitoring of payback period. In case of delay in payment, its reasons are clarified, and the decision whether to implement a sanction or provide a short time delay of payment is made. It should be noted that the average delay period in payment for main debtors is 90 days.
Even though the current business environment may have influence on the customer`s ability to redeem their debts, management considers that recognized allowance for receivables is sufficient.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets. Group estimates the concentration of risk in respect of the trade and other receivables as high.
Specific of the Group's activity implies that trade receivables are composed of receivables due from wholesale customers.

The following methods and assumption were used to estimate fair values:
Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Receivables are evaluated by the Group based on individual creditworthiness. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables. As of each reporting date, the carrying amounts of such receivables, net of allowances, are not materially different from their calculated fair values. The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks, long-term promissory notes issued, obligations under finance leases as well as other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
As of the date of presentation of the financial statements, the Group is not involved in any legal processes that can have material impact on its financial position.
