o Investment intermediation
The separate financial statements of Eurohold Bulgaria AD have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the Commission of the European Union (EU). For paragraph 1, point 8 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Accounting Act, applicable in Bulgaria, the term "IFRS adopted by the EU" means International Accounting Standards (IAS) adopted under Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council.
The Company also prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU), in which investments in subsidiaries are accounted for and disclosed under IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements".
The annual separate financial statements are presented in Bulgarian lev (BGN), which is the functional currency of the Company. All amounts are presented in thousands of BGN (000'BGN) (including the comparative information for 2021), unless otherwise stated. As of 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian lev has a fixed exchange rate against the euro: BGN 1.95583 for 1 euro.
These annual separate financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified in certain cases with the revaluation of some assets and/or liabilities at their fair values at the date of preparation of the separate statement of financial position as specified in the notes.
As a holding company, Eurohold Bulgaria does not perform regular business activities and does not provide financial services. As of 31 December 2022, the current liabilities of the Company exceed its current assets by BGN 136 369 thousand, the loss for 2022 is BGN 102 147 thousand and the Company has reported negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of BGN 4 907 thousand. Despite the loss, equity as of 31 December 2022 is in amount BGN 242 602 thousand (31 December 2021: 344 749 thousand), which is 0.93 times higher than the share capital (1.32 times higher than the share capital for 2021).
Eurohold Bulgaria supports the dividend distribution policy, with a total dividend of BGN 5 831 thousand distributed from 2015 to 2019 inclusive. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 the company has not distributed a dividend.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD ends 2022 with a net operating result of a loss of BGN 102 147 thousand. The realized negative financial result for the reporting period is mainly in connection with:
The company also has liabilities under bank loans with a book value of BGN 45 662 thousand as of 31.12.2022, which were received from the International Investment Bank, Russia and the International Bank for Economic Co-operation, Russia (Note 21). There has been no change in the terms of the loan agreements since the start of the war and the imposition of international sanctions against Russia.
Apart from the loans described above, the Company has no direct material investments or settlements with customers and suppliers from Russia or Ukraine as of 31 December 2022 and due to the nature of its business, namely holding activities related to investment management and the provision of services, as well as due to the lack of dependence on supplies of raw materials, management's assessment is that there are no identified circumstances and factors that call into question the validity of the going concern principle or that have a direct and negative effect on the Company's activities as a result of the military conflict that has arisen between Ukraine and Russia in 2022.
The war between Russia and Ukraine had an indirect impact on Eurohold Bulgaria AD through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, which held investments in insurance companies in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. At the end of 2022, in connection with the ongoing military actions on the territory of Ukraine, the insurance companies operating in Belarus (100% participation) and in Russia (associated participation of 48.61%) were sold. The business in the two countries was insignificant, forming less than 1% of the insurance group's revenues for 2022. The two subsidiary companies in Ukraine continue to perform their activities.
The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD actively monitors and analyzes the manifestation of macroeconomic, political, legal and other significant risks in the countries where it operates, assesses their impact on the group's results and makes decisions on their mitigation.
Rising commodity and energy prices have led to significant inflation in the Eurozone and the USA, with the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bulgarian National Bank raising key interest rates several times in 2022 in an attempt to rein in rising consumer prices. Because the Company has interestbearing borrowings with floating interest rates, it is possible that interest expense will be increased in future periods as a result of rising interest rates.
A part of the indirect subsidiaries of the energy segment are directly exposed to the increase in the price of electricity and to specific regulatory risks related to the price of electricity for domestic and commercial consumers. More information about these risks is disclosed in their 2022 annual financial statements and was taken into account when testing for indications of impairment of investments in subsidiaries as of 31 December 2022. Management believes that, at the reporting date, the book value of investments in a segment energy does not exceed their fair value. Macroeconomic factors are taken into account in the analysis of the financial and non-financial risks to which the Company is exposed (Note 2.23.1). These estimates may differ from the actual prices that would be determined in the future. This, in turn, could lead to a change in the balance sheet values of the Company's assets, which are determined in the separate financial statement when a number of judgments and assumptions are made by the management and accounting for the most reliable available information as of the date of the estimates.
As of the date of preparation of this annual sepatare financial statement, the management has analyzed the indebtedness of the Company and the possibilities for its servicing. The forecasts made for the future development of the Company includes continued financial support from the majority shareholder and take into account expected returns from subsidiary companies, as well as redistribution of free financial resources in the Eurohold Group. The management has also analyzed, as additional options, the stated continued financial support from external investors and partners, as well as the possibilities for refinancing part of the Company's short-term liabilities. On the basis of the above, the management is confident the Company will continue its activity and will repay its liabilities without undertaking any significant changes in its activity.

These annual separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the adopted accounting policy in the last annual financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2021. The Company has not made any changes in its accounting policy in connection with the application of new and / or revised IFRS that are effective for the current reporting period, starting on 1 January 2022, because during the period there were no objects or operations that are affected by the changes and amendments to IFRS.
The Company applies the following new standards, amendments and interpretations, which came into force this period and are as follows:
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued, but are not effective or adopted by the EU for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2022 and have not been applied early by the Company. They are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. A list of the changes in the standards is provided below:
The most significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the separate annual financial statements are set out below.
The separate annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the principles for the valuation of all IFRS assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The valuation bases are disclosed in detail below in the accounting policies of those separate financial statements.
The presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make the best estimates, accruals, and reasonable assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense, and disclosure of contingent receivables; liabilities at the reporting date. These estimates, accruals and assumptions are based on the information available at the date of the unconsolidated financial statement, which is why the future factual results could be different from them (as in a financial crisis, uncertainties are more significant).
The annual separate financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in a single statement.
Two comparative periods are being presented in the statement of finan cial position when the Company applies the accounting policy retrospectively, recalculates the positions in the financial statements retrospectively; or reclassify items in the financial statements and this has a material effect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the previous period.
The annual separate financial statements are presented in Bulgarian Lev (BGN) which is the functional and reporting currency of the company. The data presented are in thousands BGN (000'BGN) (including the comparative information for 2021), unless stated otherwise. Since 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian Lev is fixed to the EUR at the exchange rate: BGN 1,95583 for EUR 1.
Upon initial recognition, a foreign currency transaction is recorded in the functional currency by applying to the amount in foreign currency the exchange rate at the time of the transaction or operation. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are reported in the BGN equivalent on the basis
of the exchange rate as at the date of the operation and are revaluated on a quarter and annual basis using the official exchange rate of the Bulgarian National Bank on the last working day of the quarter/year.
Non-monetary reporting items of the separate statement of financial position that have been initially denominated in foreign currency are stated in the functional currency by applying the historical exchange rate as at the date of the operation and are not subsequently revaluated at the closing exchange rate.
The effect of foreign exchange losses and gains related to the settlement of business transactions in foreign currency or the reporting of business transactions at exchange rates different from those that have been initially recognized is stated in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at the time of occurrence thereof under Other financial revenue/(expenses).
The company has begun the process of preparing its Annual consolidated report for 2022 in accordance with the current IFRS effective for 2022, which report will also include the current separate report. According to the scheduled dates, the management expects an Annual consolidated report to be approved for issuance no later than 30.04.2023 from the Board of Directors of the company, after which date the report will be available to third parties.
A subsidiary is a company that is subject to the control of the Company as an investor. Having control means that the investor is exposed to or has rights to the variable return of its shareholding in the investee and is able to influence this return by means of its powers over the investee. Long-term investments, being shares in subsidiaries, are stated in the separate financial statements at acquisition price (cost), which is the fair value of paid consideration, including the direct expenses for the acquisition of the investment.
These investments are not traded at stock exchanges.

The investments in subsidiaries held by the Company are subject to impairment review. Upon finding conditions for impairment, it is recognized in the separate statement for profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a financial expense.
Upon purchase and sale of investments in subsidiaries, the "date of entering into" the transaction applies.
Investments are derecognized upon transferring the pertaining rights to other entities upon the occurrence of legal grounds to this effect like losing control over the economic benefits from the investments. The revenue from their sales is stated in "finance income" or "finance expenses", respectively, in the separate financial statement for profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The companies in which the company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and may significantly affect, but not perform control functions, are considered associated companies.
Investments in associates are accounted for by applying the equity method. By the equity method, the investment in an associate is accounted for in the non-consolidated statement of financial position at acquisition cost, plus changes in the share of net assets of the associate after the acquisition. Goodwill associated with an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not depreciated.
The investments in associates and other companies held by the Company are subject to impairment review. Upon finding conditions for impairment, it is recognized in the separate statement for profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Investments in associates and other companies are derecognized upon transferring the pertaining rights to other entities upon the occurrence of legal grounds to this effect thus losing the joint control over the economic benefits from the investments.
The revenue from their sale is stated under the item "Gains from financial operations", or under the item Losses from financial operations, respectively, in the separate financial statement for profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Income in the Company is recognized at an amount that reflects the remuneration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer.
To determine whether and how to recognize revenue, the Company uses the following 5 steps:
Revenue is recognized either at any time or overtime when or until the Company satisfies the performance obligations, transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
The Company recognizes as contract liabilities remuneration received in respect of unmet performance obligations and presents them as other liabilities in the separate statement of financial position . Similarly, if the Company meets a performance obligation before receiving the remuneration, it recognizes in the separate statement of financial position either as an asset under the contract or receivable, depending on whether or not something other than a specified time is required to receive the remuneration.
Dividend incomes are recognized upon certifying the right to obtain them.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD generates financial income mainly from the following activities:

Expenses are recognized at the time of occurrence thereof and on the accrual and comparability principles.
Administrative expenses are recognized as expenses incurred during the year and are relevant to the management and administration of the company, including expenses that relate to the administrative staff, officers, office expenses, and other hired services.
Deferred expenses (prepaid expenses) are carried forward for recognition as current expenses for the period in which the contracts they pertain to are performed.
Financial expenses include expenses incurred in relation to investment operations, negative differences from financial instruments operations and currency operations, expenses on interest under granted bank loans and obligatory issues, as well as commissions.
Other operating income and expenses include items of a secondary character in relation to the main activity of the Company.
Interest income and expenses are recognized in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate for discounting the expected cash payments and proceeds during the term of the financial asset or liability up to the net book value of the respective asset or liability. The effective interest rate is defined upon the initial recognition of the financial asset or liability and is not adjusted subsequently.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all received or paid commissions, transaction costs, as well as discounts or premiums, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs are the inherent costs directly attributable to the financial asset or liability acquisition, issue or derecognition.
The interest income and expenses stated in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income include interest recognized on the basis of effective interest rate under financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized value.
Income and expenses from fees and commissions, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate for a financial asset or liability, are included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.
Other fees and commissions income, including logistic services fees, insurance, and other intermediation fees, are recognized upon providing the respective services.
The other fees and commissions costs relevant mainly to banking services are recognized upon receipt of the respective services.
The current tax includes the tax amount, which should be paid over the expected taxable profit for the period on the basis of the effective tax rate or the tax rate applicable on the day of preparation of the separate statement of financial position and all adjustments of due tax for previous years .
The company calculates the income tax in compliance with the applicable legislation.

The income tax is calculated on the basis of taxable profit after adjustments of the financial result in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Act.
Current income taxes are defined in compliance with the Bulgarian tax legislation – the Corporate Income Tax Act. The nominal tax rate for 2022 is 10% of the taxable profit (2021: 10%).
Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method for all temporary differences between the net book value as per the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be effective upon the realization of the asset or the settlement of the liability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that they will be utilized through future taxable income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has the right and intention to offset current tax assets or liabilities from the same tax institution.
The effect from changes in the tax rates on the deferred tax is reported in the separate statement of profit or lost and other comprehensive income, except in cases when it concerns amounts, which are earlier accrued or reported directly in equity. Based on IAS 12, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes only the portion of a current tax asset or liability from the acquisition or sale of financial instruments for which the Company expects to realize a reverse benefit in the foreseeable future, or does not control the timing of the reverse benefit. The Company's policy applies equally to each class of financial instruments.
The Company has elected not to recognize a deferred tax asset on:
Eurohold Bulgaria AD has a VAT registration and charges a 20% tax upon delivery of services.
In connection with a lease agreement for real estate (office) located in London, UK, the Company used to have a VAT registration in this country. Following the expiry of the sublease agreements, UK VAT registration ceased on 6th May 2022.
Pursuant to the Corporate Income Tax Act, payment of incomes to foreign individuals or legal entities is subject to withholding tax within the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. Withholding tax is not due provided the foreign legal entity has proved grounds for application of the Agreements for Avoidance of Double Taxation before-tax rate or applicable tax rate on the day of expiration of the tax payment term.
Property, plant and equipment (fixed tangible assets) are measured at acquisition cost, less the amount of accrued amortization and possible impairment losses.
The company has a fixed value threshold of significance in the amount of BGN 700. If the acquired assets are with a value lower than BGN 700, regardless of the characteristics of fixed assets, are reported as current expenses at the time of acquisition thereof .
Fixed tangible assets are initially measured:
Borrowing costs directly related to acquisition, construction or production of eligible assets are included in the acquisition cost (cost) of this asset. All other borrowing costs are reported on the current basis in the profit or loss for the period.
The approach chosen by the Company for the subsequent measurement of machines and equipment is the cost model under IAS 16 - historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs associated with an item of property, plant and equipment are added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that the Company will have economic benefits that exceed the ini tially estimated effectiveness of the existing asset. All other subsequent expenses are recognized as an expense for the period in which they are incurred.
The residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are evaluated by management at each reporting date.
Upon sales of fixed assets, the difference between the net book value and the sales price of the asset is reported as profit or loss in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, in item "Other revenue/(Expenses), net".
Fixed tangible assets are derecognized from the statement of financial position upon sale or when the asset is finally decommissioned and no further economic benefits are expected after derecognition.
The Company presents the right-to-use assets in a line item with similar own assets but provides detailed information on own and leased assets in the notes to the financial statements.
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost, including all duties paid, non-recoverable taxes and direct costs incurred in preparing the asset for use.
Subsequent measurement is carried out at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs arising from intangible assets after initial recognition are recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period in which they occur unless the asset is able to generate more than the projected future economic benefits and when these costs can be reliably estimated and attributed to the asset. If these conditions are met, the cost is added to the cost of the asset.
The company has a fixed value threshold of significance in the amount of BGN 700. If the acquired intangible assets are with a value lower than BGN 700, regardless of the characteristics of intangible assets, are reported as current expenses at the time of acquisition thereof.
The carrying amount of intangible assets is reviewed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount could exceed their recoverable amount.
The profit or loss on the sale of intangible assets is determined as the difference between the proceed s from the sale and the carrying amount of the assets and is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the line "Other income / (Expenses), net".
The straight-line basis is the method of depreciation. The depreciation of assets begins from the month following the month of acquisition thereof. Land and assets in process of construction are not depreciated.
The useful life by groups of assets depends on the usual wear and tear, equipment specificity, future intentions for use and the probable moral aging.
The estimated useful lives by groups of assets are as follows:
| Buildings | 25 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 3 –10 years |
| Vehicles | 4 – 6 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | 3 – 8 years |
| Computers | 2 – 3 years |
| Software | 2 years |
| Right-of-use-assets | over the shorter of the asset's life and the lease term on a straight line basis. |
In calculating the amount of impairment, the Company defines the smallest identifiable group of assets for which individual cash flows (a cash-generating unit) can be determined. As a result, some assets are subject to an impairment test on an individual basis, while others are subject to a cash-generating unit.
All cash-generating assets and units are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount cannot be recovered.
Net book values of fixed tangible and intangible assets are subject to review for impairment, when events or changes in circumstances have occurred, which evidence that the net book value might permanently differ from their recoverable amount. If there are indicators that the estimated recoverable value is less than their net book value, the latter is adjusted up to the recoverable value of assets.
An impairment loss shall be recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is higher than the fair value, reduced costs to sell of an asset and its value in use.
Impairment losses are recognized as expenses in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the year of occurrence thereof.
Impairment losses on a cash-generating unit are stated in a decrease in the carrying amount of that unit's assets. For all assets of the Company, management subsequently assesses whether there is any indication that the impairment loss recognized in prior years may no longer exist or be reduced. An impairment loss recognized in a prior period is reversed if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds its carrying amount.
The company assesses whether the contract constitutes or contains elements of leasing if, under this contract, the right to control the use of an asset for a certain period of time is transferred for remuneration. Leasing is defined as "a contract or part of a contract that bears the right to use the asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in return for payment." To apply this definition, the Company evaluates whether the contract meets three key evaluations that it has given:
If it is found that the lease agreement recognizes the Company as an asset with a right of use and a corresponding obligation at the date on which the leasing asset is available for use by the Company.
A reassessment of whether a contract represents or contains elements of a lease is made only if the terms and conditions of the contract change.
The Company accounts the leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases. The costs are present as a hire service costs.
Leasing assets and liabilities are initially measured at present value.
Leasing liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
Lease payments that are made under reasonably defined extension options are also included in the liability measurement. The valuation of a lease contract with an option to extend the lease term should be taken plus 1 year to the fixed period. The Company acknowledges that this is the minimum for which there is an assurance that an option contract may be extended.
The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If this interest rate cannot be directly determined, the lessee's differential interest rate is used, which is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to obtain the funds needed to obtain an asset of similar value to an asset with a usable interest in a similar economic environment with similar conditions and security. A single discount rate is applied to a portfolio of leases with relatively similar characteristics.
The Company applies a three-step approach in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on:
The differential interest rate is revised at the beginning of each year according to the current data of the applied methodology. In case of significant deviations, the percentage is subject to revision.
Applicable Rates at Eurohold Bulgaria AD:
| Buildings - Bulgaria | Buildings - UK | |
|---|---|---|
| Incremental borrowing rate | 4,05 % | 1,31 % |
The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance costs. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.
The Company adopts the threshold of significance for right-of-use assets of BGN 10,000.00, taking the price of the asset as new.
The lessor classifies each of its leases as an operating or finance lease. Lessors classify leases according to the extent to which the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are transferred under the lease agreement.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset, and as an operating lease if it does not substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying assets. Risks include potential losses from unused capacity or technological aging, as well as from fluctuations in returns due to changing economic conditions. The benefits may be represented by the expected profitable exploitation over the economic life of the underlying asset and the expected profit from the increase in value or the realization of the residual value.
Whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the substance, not the legal form of the lease.
The classification of the lease agreement is made on the date of entry and is reviewed only if the lease agreement is amended. Changes in valuations or changes in circumstances do not warrant a new classification of the lease for accounting purposes.
A transaction in which the underlying asset is leased out by a lessee (the "intermediate lessor") to a third party and the lease agreement (the "principal lease") between the principal and the lessee remains in effect. In the classification of leasing contracts, the intermediate lessor classifies the leasing contract as a finance lease or an operating lease according to the following:
The lessor recognizes lease payments under operating leases as revenue on a straight-line basis or on a systematic basis. The lessor applies another systematic basis where that basis more accurately reflects the way in which the benefit of using the underlying asset is reduced.
The lessor adds the initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognizes it as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
The underlying asset subject to operating leases is amortized with the lessor's usual amortization policy for such assets. The depreciation of such an asset is recognized as an expense on the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
The company subleases part of leased property (Note 12 "Other income / (expenses), net "). The Company does not have any leasing contracts classified as finance leases. Based on preserve the risks and rewards on the lessor, the Company has no changes in the reporting of the operating lease income.
Lease income for 2022 amounting to BGN 68 thousand (2021: BGN 492 thousand) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the line "Other income / (expenses), net ".
Direct operating expenses for 2022 amount to BGN 3 thousand and are reported under "External service expenses", and local taxes and fees in the amount of BGN 29 thousand are reported under "Other revenues / (expenses), net" (for 2021 the direct operating expenses amount to BGN 104 thousand, and the expenses for local taxes and fees are BGN 199 thousand). No contingent rents are recognized.
Leases are irrevocable for a period of 2 years from the beginning of the lease. The future minimum lease payments are presented as follows:
Minimum lease income Up to 1 year BGN'000
As of 31 December 2022 - As of 31 December 2021 251

The lessor considers the change in an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the change, taking into account any advance or accrued lease payments related to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.
The lessor presents in its statement of financial position the underlying assets subject to operating leases in accordance with their nature.
Operating lease income, when the company is a lessor, is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company did not require adjustments in accounting for the assets held as lessor as a result of the adoption of the new leasing standard. Eurohold Bulgaria AD does not have any assets for financial lease.
A defined contribution plan is a plan for post-employment benefits in accordance with which the Company pays contributions to another person and does not have any legal or constructive obligations to make further payments. The Bulgarian government is responsible for providing pensions under the defined contribution plans. The company's engagement costs for transferring contributions under defined contribution plans are recognized currently in profit and loss.
These are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. The net payable of the Company with regard to defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefits the employees are entitled to in return for their services during the current and previous years; and these benefits are discounted in order to define their present value.
The Company has the obligation to pay retirement benefits to those of its employees who retire in compliance with the requirements of article 222, paragraph 3 of the Labor Code (LC) in Bulgaria. In accordance with these provisions of the LC, upon the termination of the employment agreement of an employee who is entitled to a pension, the employer pays them compensation in the amount of two monthly gross salaries. Provided the worker or employee has 10 or more years' length of service as at the date of retirement, such compensation is in the amount of six-monthly gross salaries. As of the date of the separate statement of financial position, the Company measures the approximate amount of potential expenses for all employees by using the estimated credit units.
Retirement benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company has clear engagements, without an actual opportunity to withdraw, with an official detailed plan either for termination of employment relations before the normal retirement date, or for payment of compensation upon termination as a result of a proposal for voluntary retirement.
Benefits upon voluntary retirement are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an official proposal for voluntary termination and the offer would be probably accepted, and the number of employees who have accepted the offer may be reliably measured. If compensations are payable for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted up to their present value.
Payables for short-term employee benefits are measured on a non-discounted basis and are stated as an expense when the related services are provided. Liability is recognized for the amount that is expected to be paid as a short-term bonus in cash or profit distribution plans, provided the Company has legal or constructive obligation to pay such amount as a result of previous services rendered by an employee, and such obligation may be reliably measured.
The company recognizes as payable the non-discounted amount of measured paid annual leave expenses that are expected to be paid to the employees in return for their services for th e past reporting period.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is fulfilled, cancelled or expires.
Initially, financial assets are carried at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial ass ets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not contain a material financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted for transaction costs, which are reported as current expenses. The initial measurement of trade receivables that do not contain a material financial component represents the transaction price under IFRS 15.
Depending on the method of subsequent reporting, financial assets are classified in one of the following categories:
The classification of financial assets is determined on the basis of the following two conditions:
All income and expenses related to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are included in financial expenses, financial income or other financial positions, except for the impairment of trade receivables, which is presented in the line (Accrued) / recovered loss from impairment of financial assets, net in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the assets meet the following criteria and are not designated at fair value through profit or loss:
This category includes non-derivative financial assets such as loans and receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is not done when its effect is insignificant. The Company classifies in this category cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, as well as listed and unlisted bonds.

Trade receivables are amounts owed by customers for goods or services sold in the ordinary course of business. They are usually due for settlement in the short term and are therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of the unconditional remuneration, unless they contain significant components of financing. The Company holds trade receivables to collect contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is not done when its effect is insignificant.
Financial assets for which a contractual "cash flow business model" or a "held-for-sale business model" is not applicable, as well as financial assets whose contractual cash flows, are not solely principal and interest payments, are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments are reported in this category except those that are designated and effective as hedging instruments and to which the hedge accounting requirements apply.
Changes in the fair value of assets in this category are reflected in profit or loss. The fair value of financial assets in this category is determined by quoted prices in an active market or by using valuation techniques in the absence of an active market.
IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognize a provision for expected credit losses for all debt instruments that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss and for contract assets.
Instruments that fall under the new requirements include loans and other financial assets measured at amortized cost / fair value through other comprehensive income, trade receivables, contract assets recognized and measured under IFRS 15, and credit commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (with the issuer) that are not reported at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the occurrence of a credit loss event. Instead, the Company considers a wider range of information in assessing credit risk and assessing expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportive forecasts that affect the expected future cash flow of the instrument.
In implementing this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
12-month expected credit losses are recognized for the first category, while the expected losses over the life of the financial instruments are recognized for the second category. Expected credit losses are determined as the difference between all contractual cash flows attributable to the Company and the cash flows it is actually expected to receive ("cash deficit"). This difference is discounted at the original effective interest rate (or the effective interest rate corrected to the credit).
The calculation of expected credit losses is determined on the basis of the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected period of the financial instruments.
The Company uses a simplified approach to accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and recognizes impairment losses as expected credit losses over the entire period. They represent the expected shortfall in contractual cash flows, given the possibility of default at any time during the term of the financial instrument. The Company uses its accumulated experience, external indicators and long term information to calculate the expected credit losses through customer allocation by industry and time structure of receivables and using a maturity of provisions.

Financial liabilities include loans, payables to suppliers and other counterparties.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company has designated a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for derivatives and financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss (except for derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedges tool).
Financial liabilities are recognized over the period of the loan with the amount of proceeds received, the principal less transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at an amortized cost equal to the capitalized value when the effective interest rate method is applied. In the separate financial statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, borrowing costs are recognized over the period of the loan.
Current liabilities, such as payables to suppliers, subsidiaries and associates and other payables, are measured at amortized cost, which generally corresponds to the nominal value.
Securities can be rented or sold with a commitment to repurchase them (repo). These securities continue to be recognized in the statement of financial position when all material risks and rewards of ownership remain at the expense of the Company. In this case, a liability to the other party to the contract is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company receives cash consideration.
Similarly, when the Company borrows or purchases securities with a commitment to repurchase them (reverse repo), but does not acquire the risks and rewards of ownership of the transactions, the transactions are treated as collateralised loans when the cash consideration is paid. Securities are not recognized in the statement of financial position.
The difference between the sale price and the redemption price is recognized by instalments over the period of the contract using the effective interest method. Leased -in securities continue to be recognized in the statement of financial position. Hired securities are not recognized in the statement of financial position unless they are sold to third parties, where the redemption obligation is recognized as a trading liability at fair value and the subsequent profit or loss is included in the net operating result.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, current accounts and short-term deposits, including repo at banks whose original maturity is up to 3 months. For the purposes of the separate statement of cash flows, bank deposits are analysed and presented in compliance with the Company's purposes and intentions for earning therefrom, as well as the actual maintained duration of investing in such type of deposits.
Equity is presented at its nominal value pursuant to the court decisions for its registration.
The premium reserve includes premiums earned on the initial equity issue. All costs related to the issue of shares are deducted from the paid-in capital, net of tax relief.
Other reserves include statutory reserves, general reserves.
In accordance with the requirements of the Commerce Act and the Articles of Association, the Company is obliged to establish a Reserve Fund and the sources of such fund may be as follows:
The funds may be used for covering annual losses or losses from previous years only. When the fund reaches the minimum amount as set out in the Articles of Association, the excess may be used for capital increase.
Retained earnings include current financial results and accumulated profits and uncovered losses from previous years.
Dividend payment obligations to shareholders are included in the line "Other short-term liabilities" in the statement of financial position when the dividends are approved for distribution by the general meeting of shareholders before the end of the reporting period. All transactions with the owners of the Company are presented separately in the statement of changes in equity.
The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period that is subject to distribution among shareholders – holders of ordinary shares, by the average weighted number of ordinary shares held during the period.
The average weighted number of shares is the number of ordinary shares held at the beginning of the period adjusted with the number of redeemed ordinary shares and the number of newly issued shares multiplied by the average time factor. Such a factor expresses the number of days in which the respective shares have been held towards the total number of days during the period.
Upon capitalization, bonus issue or division, the number of outstanding ordinary shares until the date of such event is adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the number of outstanding ordinary shares as if the event has occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Earnings per shares with decreased value are not calculated as no potential shares with decreased value are issued.
Provisions are recognized when it is probable that current liabilities resulting from a past event will result in an outflow of resources from the Company and a reliable estimate of the amount of the liability can be made. The timing or amount of cash outflow may be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the existence of a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, such as guarantees, legal disputes or burdensome contracts. Restructuring provisions are recognized only if a detailed formal restructuring plan has been developed and implemented or management has announced the main points of the restructuring plan to those who would be affected. Provisions for future operating losses are not recognized .
The amount recognized as a provision is calculated on the basis of the most reliable estimate of the costs required to settle a current liability at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties associated with the current liability. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probable need for an outflow to settle the obligation is determined taking into account the group of liabilities as a whole. Provisions are discounted when the effect of time differences in the value of money is significant.
Third-party benefits in respect of a liability that the Company is certain to receive are recognized as a separate asset. This asset may not exceed the value of the provision in question.
Provisions are revised at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the best estimate.
In cases where an outflow of economic resources is unlikely to occur as a result of current liability, a liability is not recognized. Contingent liabilities should subsequently be measured at the higher value between the comparable provision described above and the initially recognized amount, less accumulated depreciation.
Possible inflows of economic benefits that do not yet meet the criteria for recognition of an asset are considered contingent assets. They are described together with the contingent liabilities of the Company in Note 29. Contingent liabilities and commitments.
The management's significant judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set out below:
The assessment of probability for future taxable income for the utilization of deferred tax assets is based on the last approved budget forecast adjusted with regard to material untaxable income and expenses and specific restrictions for carrying forward unused tax losses or credits. If a reliable estimate for taxable income suggests the probable use of deferred tax assets, in particular in case the asset may be used without a time limit, then the deferred tax asset is recognized in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to specific legal or economic restrictions or uncertainty should be judged by the management on a case-bycase basis on the grounds of specific facts and circumstances.
On the basis of this approach and applying a high level of conservatism, the management has judged not to recognize deferred tax asset to the annual separate financial statements for 2022, as follows:
Management's analysis and intentions are endorsed by the debt-holding business model, which is eligible to receive principal and interest payments only and the assets are held until the contractual cash flows of the bonds, which are classified as debt instruments, have been measured at amortized cost. This decision is consistent with the current liquidity and capital of the Company.
In accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, management classifies sublease contracts as operating leases. In some cases, the lease transaction is not straightforward and management assesses whether the contract is a finance lease in which all material risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee or an operating lease, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred the underlying asset.
In preparing the financial statement, management makes a number of assumptions, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results may differ from management's assumptions, estimates, and assumptions and, in rare cases, may be fully consistent with previously estimated results.
In preparing the presented separate annual financial statements, the management's significant judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company and the main sources of uncertainty of the accounting estimates do not differ from those disclosed in the annual aeparate financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2021.
The amount with which the book value of an asset or a cash flow generating unit exceeds their replacement cost, which is the higher of the fair value less the sale cost of an asset, and its value in use, is recognized as an impairment loss. For the purposes of defining the value in use, the Company's management calculates the expected future cash flows per cash flow generating unit and defines an appropriate discount factor for the purposes of calculating the present value of these cash flows. Upon calculating the expected future cash flows, the management makes assumptions about the future gross profits. These assumptions are related to future events and facts. The actual results may differ and require significant adjustments in the Company's assets during the next reporting year.
In most cases, when defining the applicable discount factor, an assessment of appropriate adjustments with regard to the market risk and the risk factors inherent to different assets should be made.
External appraisals are used in order to determine the fair values of investments in subsidiaries for each calendar year. When applying valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market data and assumptions that market participants would accept when evaluating an instrument. In the absence of relevant market data, management uses its best assessment of the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may differ from the actual prices that would have been determined in a fair market transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period.
The company reported losses from impairment of investments in subsidiaries in 2022 in the amount of BGN 52 715 thousand (2021: BGN 64 772 thousand) (Notes 13.1).
The company has developed a model of expected credit losses and assesses the adequacy of impairment based on age analysis of receivables, historical experience on the level of write-off of bad debts and analysis of the solvency of the counterparty, changes in agreed payment terms and more. If the financial position and performance of the counterparties become worse than expected, the value of receivables that should be derecognized during the next reporting periods may be higher than the one expected as at the reporting date.
The management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments if there are no quoted prices at the active market. Detailed information about the assumptions used is presented in the explanatory notes to the financial assets and liabilities. In applying assessment techniques, to the maximum extent, the management uses market data and assumptions that market stakeholders would assume upon assessing a financial instrument. In case there are no applicable market data, the management applies its best estimate of assumptions that the market stakeholders would make. These assessments may differ from the actual prices that would be defined in an arm's length transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities may be presented in the following categories:

Please see note 2.17. Financial Instruments for accounting policy information for each category of financial instruments. The methods applied to measure the fair values of financial assets and liabilities at fair value are described in note 2.25. Determination of fair values. A description of the Company's risk management policies and objectives regarding financial instruments is presented below.
In the implementation of its activity, the Company is exposed to diverse financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, risk from change of financial instruments fair value under the impact of market interest rates and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and risk from change of future cash flows due to a change in market interest rates. The overall risk management program emphasizes the unpredictability of financial markets and is aimed at mitigating the possible adverse effects on the Company's financial result.
The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below:
Due to the use of financial instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk and in particular to the risk of changes in the exchange rate, interest rate risk and the risk of changes in specific prices, which is due to the operational and investment activity of the Company.
The Company is exposed to currency risk as a result of the settlements in foreign currency and through its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The majority of the Company's transactions are in Bulgarian lev. The Company's foreign transactions, denominated principally in Euro, British pounds, Czech crowns to US dollars, expose the Company to foreign exchange risk.
The Company owns investments in euro. The company has loans, issued bonds and liabilities in foreign currency – Euro, British pounds and US dollars. As the BGN/ EUR exchange rate is pegged at 1.95583, the currency risk caused by the euro expositions of the Company is on its minimum.
Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and translated into BGN at the end of the reporting period are presented as follows:

| Short-term exposure | ||||

The tables below show the sensitivity of the annual net financial result after taxes and equity to a probable change in the exchange rates of the Bulgarian lev against the following foreign currencies:
o British Pounds +/- 4.07% (for 2021 +/- 2.22%)
All other parameters are considered constant.
These rates are based on average exchange rates over the last 12 months of 2022 year. The sensitivity analysis is based on the investments of the Company in foreign currency financial instruments held at the end of the reporting period.

Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations varies throughout the year depending on the volume of international transactions performed. However, the analysis presented above is considered to represent the Company's exposure to currency risk.
The Company's policy is aimed at minimizing the interest risk with regard to long-term funding. Therefore, part of the long-term borrowings is with fixed interest rates. As of 31 December 2022, the Company is exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates on its bank loans, some of which have an interest rate equal to the sum of the fixed component and 3M EURIBOR. This risk arises in the second half of 2022 since the values of 3M EURIBOR exceed zero. All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company have fixed interest rates. All investments in bonds of the Company are paid out on the basis of fixed interest rates.
Loans that are exposed to interest rate risk are presented as follows:
| Interest Rate Risk Exposure | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loan | Exposure as at 31.12.2022 BGN'000 |
Interest rate | Maturity date |

The tables presented below show the sensitivity of the annual net financial result after tax and equity to a likely change in interest rates on loans with a floating interest rate based on a fixed component plus 3M EURIBOR, in the amount of +/- 43.17 % (for 2021 : no reported risk, since 3M EURIBOR had a negative value and is deemed to be zero). These changes are determined to be probable based on observations of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the change in the average 3M EURIBOR from the moment the values exceed zero and on the financial instruments held by the Company at the end of the reporting period, which are sensitive to interest rate changes. All other parameters are assumed to be constant.

The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine and the unprecedented increase in the price of energy resources in 2022 have had serious price effects on the overall global economy, a substantial rise in inflation and a difficulty in the supply of energy resources. Other manifested effects of the beginning of the hostilities are: a decline in economic growth, an uncertain international environment, problems with gas supplies and a significant increase in gas prices, a surge in prices for trading in electricity, fuels and other petroleum products, difficulties in the supply chain, due to restrictive and logistical problems, strong volatility in stock markets under the pressure of fluctuations in fuel and other basic resource markets, increased interest rates, a shaky banking system, etc.
The company has analyzed, on the basis of the currently available data, the potential effect on its financial position and, in particular, on the models used, according to IFRS 9.
According to the latest Economic Bulletin of the ECB, no. 8/2022 - The global economy is slowing amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, particularly as a result of Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine, and a widespread tightening of financing conditions. As the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine continues to play out and fuel strong inflationary pressures, indicators of consumer and business confidence remain weak, with real disposable incomes falling and rising cost pressures constraining output. The negative economic consequences are expected to be partially mitigated by fiscal policy measures. In th e medium term, as the energy market rebalances, uncertainty is expected to decrease and real incomes to improve. As a result, economic growth is expected to pick up, supported by strengthening external demand and the removal of remaining supply constraints, despite less favorable financing conditions. The labor market is expected to remain relatively resilient in the coming moderate recession. Overall, average annual real GDP growth is expected to slow significantly, from 3.4% in 2022 to 0.5% in 2023, before accelerating to 1.9% in 2024 and to 1.8% in 2025
In the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2022, the expectations for the growth of the real GDP in 2023 is to slow down significantly to 0.4%, which will be determined mostly by the transition from a positive to a negative contribution of the change in stocks in the economy. The growth of economic activity is expected to accelerate to 3.2% in 2024, which will be mainly due to the formation of a low positive contribution of net exports due to the recovery of growth in exports of goods. Annual inflation, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is forecast to slow to 4.2% at the end of 2023, with inflation expected to average 7.0% for the year, with short-term pressure on production prices resulting from factors such as realized commodity price increases and supply and labor shortages will continue to weigh on consumer prices. The forecast for inflation at the end of 2024 is for it to slow down to 3.3%, following the downward dynamics of the prices of food and energy raw materials on the international markets.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD strives to monitor the probability of the manifestation of the macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that the presence of this risk may have. However, the Holding cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on the business, financial position, profits and cash flows at the group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk may exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.
The table below presents information on the expectations for economic growth of the Republic of Bulgaria, according to the data of the International Monetary Fund (October 2022: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2022/10/11/world -economic-outlook-october-2022).

As can be seen from the above data, the Management takes into account the possible short-term risks to the general development of the economy of the main countries in which it operates, as in some of the markets the expected decrease in the Gross Domestic Product would be significant, but also takes into account the general expectations for a rapid recovery in the period 2022-2023 with expectations of a return to average pre-Covid-19 (Coronavirus) forecast growth levels.
As a result of the expected economic effects of the slowdown in overall activity, some rating agencies worsened their forecast on long-term debt positions, both in terms of government debt and in terms of corporate debt positions. The table below provides information on the change in the credit rating (including forecast) assigned by Fitch to the Republic of Bulgaria and to the Parent company of the Group.

Management continues to monitor the development of the credit risk for the countries where the Company operates, as well as the main investments (subject to both markets and credit risk).
The Company's management has analysed the expected effect on the overall model of IFRS 9, the results of which are presented in detail below. The focus of the analysis includes:
The general conclusion of the Company's management is that, at the time of issuing this report, no significant deterioration in the credit quality of counterparties due to the war in Russia and Ukraine or the dynamic macroeconomic environment is expected in the short term. Management continues to closely monitor for long-term indications of deterioration.
With respect to the model (including the full and simplified model) for calculating expected credit losses, management believes that no change to the overall model is necessary. The management takes into account the possible short-term risks on the general development of the economy of the main countries in which the Company operates, and in some of the markets the expected reduction of the Gross Domestic Product would be significant, but also takes into account the general expectations for business normalization in 2023, as it is already happening in 2023 with the prices of energy resources.
As of 31 December 2022, both reliable macroeconomic statistics and information on medium-term levels of probability of default are available, Management has decided to:
There are force majeure circumstances that can affect business activities in all spheres worldwide. This was caused by the military actions taken by Russia and its invasion of the territory of Ukraine.
As a result of the war that started, a number of countries from around the world, including countries from the European Union, took drastic sanctions against Russia, and partially against Belarus, which supports it. Eurohold Bulgaria owns, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, investments in insurance companies in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus (Note 13).
The Company has obligations under bank loans to the International Economic Bank, Russia and the International Bank for Economic Cooperation, Russia (Note 21).
Management will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all possible steps to mitigate the potential effects.
Climate change may affect the entity's assets and liabilities in the reporting period or in the future. Changes in legislation resulting from climate issues may be known (e.g. regulations or negotiated commitments to mitigate the effects of pollution) or only anticipated (e.g. potential changes in business models as well as consumer behaviour, commercial counterparties, creditors and investors). They affect the fair value of assets/liabilities regardless of whether the risks or opportunities associated with them are real or perceived.
Consistent with the previous year, as of 31 December 2022, the Company has not identified significant risks caused by climate change that could have a negative and material impact on the Company's financial statements. Management continually assesses the impact of climate-related issues.
Assumptions could change in the future in response to upcoming environmental regulations, new commitments made and changing consumer demand. These changes, if not foreseen, could have an impact on the future cash flows, financial results and financial condition of the Company.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to pay its debt to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk in connection with regard to the various financial instruments, such as the provision of loans, the occurrence of receivables from customers, a deposit of funds and others. The Company's exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognized at the end of the reporting period, as set out below:
| 31.12.2022 | 31.12.2021 | ||
|---|---|---|---|

| Cash and cash equivalents | 18 | 2 238 | 115 |
| Book value | 42 233 | 1 414 |
The amounts presented in the separate statement of financial position are on a net basis excluding the provisions for doubtful receivables, assessed as such by management, based on previous experience and current economic conditions.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, money market funds derivative financial instruments is considered insignificant as counterparties are banks with good repute and high external credit rating.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company may encounter difficulties in servicing its financial obligations when they become payable. Policy in this field is aimed at ensuring that there will be enough cash available to service its maturing obligations, including in exceptional and unforeseen conditions. The management's objective is to maintain continuous balance between continuity and flexibility of financial resources by using adequate forms of funding.

The company's management is responsible for managing the liquidity risk and involves maintaining enough cash available, arranging adequate credit lines, preparation of analysis and update of cash flows estimates.

By managing its capital, the Company aims at creating and maintaining opportunities to continue its activity under the going concern assumption and to ensure the respective return of invested funds for the shareholders and economic benefits for the other stakeholders and participants in its business, as well as at maintaining optimal capital structure.
The Company continuously monitors the availability and the structure of the capital based on the debt ratio, and namely the net debt capital to the total amount of capital. Net debt includes all liabilities, subordinated debts, loans, debentures, trade and other payables less the book value of cash and cash equivalents.
The equity for the reporting periods presented can be analysed as follows:

| Debt ratio (Net debt/total equity) | 65% | 52% |

The increase in the leverage ratio in 2022 is mainly due to a new Bond with ISIN: BG2100002224 in the amount of EUR 40,000,000 (Note 22).
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statement are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
A financial asset or liability is classified at the lowest level of material input used to determine its fair value.

There were no significant transfers between levels during the reporting periods.
The valuation methods and techniques used to determine fair value have not changed from the previous reporting period.
All marketable bonds are represented in Bulgarian Leva and are publicly traded on the Irish Stock Exchange, Bonds Section. Fair values have been determined on the basis of their stock exchange price as of the reporting date (Note 22).
Fair value is the price that would have been obtained by selling an asset or paid by transferring a liability in the ordinary course of trade between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is carried out:
The main or most favourable market must be accessible to the Company.
The measurement of the fair value of a non-financial asset takes into account the ability of a market participant to generate economic benefits by using the asset to maximize its value or by selling it to another market participant who will use it in such a way. The Company uses appropriate valuation methods for which there is sufficient data available to measure fair value, using the maximum relevant observable hypotheses and minimizing the use of the unobservable.
The following table presents the levels in the hierarchy of non-financial assets as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, measured at fair value at regular intervals:

At each date of the statement of financial position, management makes an analysis and evaluation of whether there are any indicators of impairment of its investments in subsidiaries. The Company took into account the carrying amount of investments and their net assets, among other factors, when reviewing for impairment indications.
The main indicators of impairment are: significant reduction of the volume and / or cessation of the company in which it is invested, losses in the customer market or technological problems, reporting losses over a longer period of time, reporting negative net assets or assets below the registered share capital, trends of deterioration of key financial indicators, as well as a decrease in market capitalization. The Company requires external appraisers to determine the fair values of investments in subsidiaries for each calendar year.
The fair value of investments in subsidiaries of the Company is determined on the basis of reports of independent licensed appraisers.
The fair value of investments in subsidiaries is based on the following methods used:
The discounted cash flow method is used to determine the value of a business in terms of its future and expected profitability. In this method, net cash flows are determined by reducing EBITDA (profit before taxes, interest and depreciation) by changing net working capital by investing in non-current assets, without taking into account cash flows related to borrowing, payment of interest on them and cash. The developed business forecast for the development of the company was used as the basis of the method.
The industry coefficients method (Market Multiplier Method) reflects the prices currently being marketed for other similar businesses and provides an indication of the usual opinion of market participants. It is based on derived indicators of the realized transactions.
The net asset value method is a fundamental way of determining the value of a company or its shares using models based on the value of the assets of the company less its liabilities. This method assumes th at in a competitive environment, a "reasonable buyer" would not pay more to the company than he would have received for obtaining similar assets (with the same characteristics and condition, degree of suitability, usability, etc.), without commitment.
The tests and assessments of management for impairment of investments are made through the prism of its forecasts and intentions regarding the future economic benefits that are expected to be received from the subsidiaries, including commercial and industrial experience, securing positions in Bulgarian and foreign markets, expectations for future sales and others. The calculations were made with the assistance of an independent licensed appraiser.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company's management analyzes and evaluates whether there are indications of impairment of its investments in subsidiaries. The main indicators of impairment are: a significant reduction in the volume or suspension of the activity of the subsidiary company; loss of markets, customers or technological problems, reporting negative net assets or assets below registered share capital, trends in the deterioration of fundamental financial indicators, as well as a decrease in market capitalization.
Calculations are made by management with the assistance of external independent licensed appraisers with appropriate qualifications and experience. As a basis for the cash flow forecasts before taxes, financial forecasts developed by the relevant subsidiaries covering a three-to-five-year period, as well as other medium and long-term plans and intentions for their development, are used.
The key assumptions used in the calculations are determined specifically for each subsidiary and according to its specifics of activity, business environment and risks, the expected future economic benefits that will be received, as well as the positions on Bulgarian and foreign markets, etc.
The recoverable amount determined as of 31.12.2022, by the independent licensed appraisers amounts to BGN 478 661 thousand. The company's management has reviewed the appraisers' report and has noted the possibility of hidden effects in relation to the revocation of Euroins' license Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A. (Note 31) and the potential violations of the synergy in the EIG group, maintaining its conservative approach when valuing the assets, considered that the investment in Romania should be depreciated to the value of the company's reputation in the amount of BGN 52 715 thousand.

As a consequence of the ASF's actions, it was announced that it would cause severe financial consequences for the insured persons and up to 1 billion euros of losses for the Romanian taxpayers.

At the same time, the company's daily operating expenses are in the order of 5-5.5 million lei and separate current liabilities for another 1-1.5 million lei. These data show that the company is in good financial condition and there can be no question of insolvency, as is the motive of the Romanian regulator.
As of the license revocation date, the Romanian company regularly and on time fulfills its obligations and at any moment ensures full coverage of both the minimum capital requirement (MCR) and the solvency capital requirement (SCR) - the two key indicators for any insurer (confirmed and by the Romanian regulator). The coverage of both indicators is guaranteed both under the terms of the company's previous reinsurance contracts, not recognized by the Romanian supervisor, and under the new reinsurance contract with EIG Re, which, although perfect f rom a legal and economic point of view, was also not accepted by the regulator in Bucharest . This happens regardless of the fact that the reinsurance contract concluded with EIG Re has been of ficially confirmed by the Financial Supervision Commission (the Bulgarian regulator), which is solely competent and in a position to rule on the solvency of EIG Re and the validity of this contract (both confirmed with a letter f rom the FSC on 14.03.2023).
Failure to recognize the reinsurance contract with EIG Re leads to a violation of European (Article 32 of the EU Solvency 2 Directive) and Romanian legislation. It is this reinsurance contract with EIG Re that is the reason why there is no basis to claim that the company does not cover its capital requirements (MKI and KIP) and that it has a problem with its solvency, which was used as an argument by the Romanian regulator in the of ficial report on revocation of the license.
Contrary to ASF's claims of a capital shortfall of Euroins Romania as of September 30, 2022, Eurohold's data shows the exact opposite. As of this date, the Romanian insurer actually possesses the necessary permissible basic own funds, which ensure the minimum capital coverage and the capital requirement for solvency in amounts that exceed the 100% required by law. This is the case both through the prism of the reinsurance contracts with leading reinsurers in Europe, which are not recognized by the financial supervision, which ensure the transfer of 55% of the risk in the company's portfolio, and in relation to the subsequent new reinsurance contract with EIG Re, which transfers outside the company 87 % of risk. As of September 2022, the CPI is 143%, and as of December 2022 - 134%, and the MCI - 272% and 280%, respectively. Additional, the reinsurance contracts of Euroins Romania, not recognized by the Romanian regulator, have been formally confirmed
by the same supervisor in the past at least twice in the last three years, including during a significant audit and a large-scale review of insurers' balance sheets in Romania in 2021. They are confirmed by both independent auditors appointed by ASF during the review of the balance sheets. At a later point, these same contracts become unacceptable to the regulator and the company is forced to terminate them and replace them with new ones.
The ASF report dated February 2, 2023 stated that the Romanian reinsurance supervisor suspended Euroins Romania's existing reinsurance contracts with leading European AA-rated reinsurers and charged additional reserves to the insurer in the amount of 605 million lei.
In this way, ASF found on paper a capital shortfall of 2 billion lei or 400 million euros. Eurohold' s calculations show, however, that if the existing reinsurance contracts are taken into account, even with the additional reserves charged by the regulator for 605 million lei, the coverage of MKI and KIP would be over 100%.
With the conclusion of a new quota reinsurance contract with EIG Re at the beginning of February, Euroins Romania meets all the requirements of the Romanian insurance supervision. The new contract was concluded in accordance with all European standards and norms and is customary for most of Europe's leading insurance groups. It ensures the transfer of 87% of the risk in the portfolio of Euroins Romania and guarantees the full volume of damages to the Romanian insurer. Another 10% of the risk remains for the leading reinsurer in Europe and only 3% in the Romanian company itself . An additional security for Euroins Romania and EIG Re is that a significant part of the risks assumed by the new reinsurer are retroceded to leading European reinsurers. The higher risk coverage is also accompanied by a transfer of assets of the Romanian company to the reinsurer, again in accordance with ASF requirements.
With the reinsurance contract with EIG Re, Euroins Romania's MKI and KIP coverage jumps to 219% and 148%, respectively, as of January 1, even if the 605 million lei increase in technical reserves prescribed by the Romanian regulator is taken into account. In this way, the risk and solvency of Euroins Romania are fully guaranteed.
ASF refuses to recognize the reinsurance contract with ridiculous arguments and claims by persons f rom the insurance supervision that EIG Re is an unknown, Bulgarian company and does not have the necessary capital. At the same time, EIG Re is a company with over 20 years of history and experience, acquired by EIG 8 years ago f rom the German HDI.

✓ On 17.03.2023, the Romanian insurance supervision ASF revoked the license of the Romanian insurance company Euroins Romania Asigurare-Reasigurare SA (see item C.2.3 Significant events that occurred after the balance sheet date) as a result of which the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD and of Euroins Insurance Group (EIG) decided to write down the investment in the balance sheet of the companies with the value of the reputation of the Romanian company as of 31.12.2022.
Considering that Eurohold Bulgaria AD, through its subsidiary company Euroins Insurance Group AD, has started a procedure to challenge this decision of the ASF by court order, in the event that the court rules in favor of EIG, the written-off investment in Euroins Romania Assuring-Reassuring SA will be returned to the balance sheet of EIG and Eurohold Bulgaria AD group, taking the appropriate corrective operations.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD is a holding company with significant investments in subsidiary companies and as such does not carry out independent and regular commercial transactions. The main (operating) income of the holding company is of a financial nature, with the most significant of them - profits from operations with financial instruments and subsequent assessments appearing in different accounting periods and not of a permanent nature.
Eurohold manages a portfolio of companies in the sectors: insurance, energy (from 27.07.2021), investment brokerage and asset management (financial and investment services). Until 30.06.2022, Eurohold Bulgaria AD also owned investments in the automotive and leasing sectors.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD has a long-term approach to its investments and holds leading positions on the markets in the segments in which it operates.
In this regard, investors and interested parties should analyze the results of this individual financial report together with the consolidated report, giving a clear and complete view of the results, financial position, strategies and development prospects of the Eurohold group.
The main events in 2022 were related to the sale of the investments in the automobile and leasing business.
In view of the entry from mid-2021 into a new sector market, namely the energy market, Eurohold announced the automotive and lease segments as the non-core business for the group in its development strategy. Within one-year, Eurohold was able to sell part of the automobile companies and negotiate the sale of leasing companies. In addition, on 30.06.2022, Eurohold Bulgaria AD signed an agreement for the sale of the entire remaining automotive and leasing business, through the sale of 100% of the owned shares of the capital of its subsidiaries Auto Union AD and Eurolease Group AD.
As a result of the sales of these subsidiaries, Eurohold incurred for 2022 a loss of BGN 13,469 thousand in 2022, representing a one-time effect of the sale of these investments in subsidiaries and having an impact on the overall performance of Eurohold for 2022 (see below in "Financial result").
The negative result from the sale of subsidiary companies is based on expert assessments by independent appraisers and reflects the significantly reduced business in connection with the previously sold subsidiaries of the automotive subholding Avto Union AD - the main income generators of the automotive group. By the half of 2022, the remaining companies in Auto Union are smaller in terms of business volume and with significantly low growth potential.
Regarding the leasing business - the significantly reduced sales in Auto Union are proportionally reflected in the reduction of the leasing business, which leads to the generation of a significantly smaller volume of new business and a lack of growth factors.
On 17.03.2023, the Romanian financial regulator ASF decided to revoke the license for the insurance activity of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A., part of Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG), opening bankruptcy proceedings and appointing the Insurance Guarantee Fund (FGA) for temporary administrator of the company.
In this regard, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD has decided to impair the investment of its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, which is the parent company of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A. The management's assessment was made on the basis of valuation reports by independent licensed valuation experts and taking into account the possibility of hidden effects in relation to the withdrawal of the license of the Romanian insurance company and the potential violations of synergy in the group of EIG, maintaining its conservative approach to asset valuation.
In 2022, in the annual separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, impairment expenses for investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 52,715 thousand were reported.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD for the period January 1 - December 31, 2022 reports net loss of BGN 102.1 million in its separate financial statements. If the one-time expenses reported in 2022 of BGN 66.2 million (13.5 from sales of investments and BGN 52.7 million impairment of reputation of Euroins Romania) were to be removed from the transactions for the period, the financial result of the Company would be loss of BGN 36 million.
For comparison, the financial result for 2021 was a net loss of BGN 116.4 million. In 2021, there are also one-off costs of BGN 92.8 million (in connection with the acquisition of the companies from the CEZ group (now Electrohold) in total to BGN 28 million and impairment expenses of the investment of the automotive business in the amount of BGN 64.8 million). If they were not taken into account, the Company's financial result would be loss of BGN 23.6 million.
When analyzing the Revenues of Eurohold Bulgaria historically based on the individual activity of the company, it is not appropriate to make a comparison of generated revenues and profits from the company's operational activity in different historical periods, due to the specific nature of the activity, namely - holding activity directed to investments in companies through creation and acquisition, their management and financing of related enterprises. In this sense, the revenues generated by the company are non -rhythmical, as many of them are related to one-time large deals with investments and financial instruments, providing financing or selling businesses. In order to gain insight into the performance of Eurohold, the results of the Eurohold group, including the performance of all subsidiaries, should be examined.

Interest expenses increased for the current year by nearly BGN 2.2 million in connection with absorbed new financing for the development of subsidiaries and a new bond loan issued in March 2022. Interest expenses can be grouped into three categories depending on the financing , namely:
Eurohold Bulgaria maintains a dividend distribution policy, and from 2015 to 2019 inclusive, a total dividend was distributed from the Company's profits in the amount of BGN 5,831 thousand. In 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company did not distribute dividends.
Cash flows for 2022 are formed mainly by the financial and investment activities of the Company related to the restructuring of long-term debts, as well as the accumulation of free cash from subsidiaries and directing them to finance the current and investment activities of other subsidiaries.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD on a stand alone basis does not carry out commercial and/or production activities, in this sense it does not fall into sectors affected by climate change, nor does it have a direct impact on the environment, water ecosystems and biodiversity. However, the Company takes environmental protection and limiting the speed and scale of climate change responsibly and has adopted them as part of its corporate social policy.

Planned economic policy for the next year, including expected investments and personnel development, expected income from investments and development of the Company, as well as upcoming transactions of essential importance for the Company's activities
The main activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD as a holding company will continue in the future to be the management of the subsidiaries in the group. In 2023, the company is not expected to change its activities and realize income of different origins, apart from those related to the usual activity of the company. No significant investments or transactions of material importance are planned beyond the usual ones related to the management of the subsidiaries.
The development trends of Eurohold Bulgaria AD are related to the strategic goals in the development of the energy and insurance business. Therefore, the future development of the Holding is considered at the group level and is entirely related to the achievements of the subsidiary companies, their opportunities for generating revenue and profit growth, maintaining a stable capital structure, creating innovative products to strengthen their competitiveness, strengthening and growth of their market positions in the regions in which they operate.
The development prospects of the Eurohold group for 2023 will be aimed at organic growth and improving the return on the operational activity of the existing companies.
At group level, the focus will again be on:
Also, Eurohold will continue to provide and provide full support to its subsidiaries regarding their capital position, sound financial condition and maintaining a high liquidity position and solvency to ensure current servicing of Eurohold group's obligations to all banking and non-financial institutions, bondholders, suppliers, and other creditors.
In 2023, the companies of the Eurohold group do not plan any significant capital investments other than their usual activities.
Given the situation that has arisen with the revocation of Euroins Romania's license, the focus is on control, monitoring and optimized management in all business lines in order to prevent and protect against possible shocks.
The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD will strive to actively monitor and analyze the manifestation of macroeconomic, political, legal and other significant risks in the countries where it operates, assess their impact on the group's results and take decisions on their mitigation.
At the end of 2022, in connection with the ongoing hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, where the group has two subsidiary insurance companies, the insurance companies operating in Belarus (100% participation) and in Russia (associate participation of 48.61%) were sold. The business in both countries was insignificant, forming less than 1% of the insurance group's revenues for 2022, which will not have an impac t on revenues and assets at group level.
In addition, the development of the group is also dependent on future regulatory changes, as all business units from the insurance, energy and financial-investment activities are highly regulated and their future development is largely dependent on the applicable legislation, changes in the regulatory framework and the decisions of the regulatory authorities.
In 2022, 4 employees were appointed to Eurohold Bulgaria AD, and 1 left, no employees were hired on temporary contracts. As of December 31, 2022, a total 24 employees work in Eurohold Bulgaria AD (2021: 21 persons).
In connection with the nature of the activity of the holding company, as well as the fact that, as such, Eurohold does not carry out regular commercial and/or production or any other type of activity requiring the hiring of new personnel during the growth and development of the business, it is not expected for Eurohold Bulgaria significant development in the hiring of personnel in the company in the short and medium term.
There are no other known trends, fluctuations, requirements, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a significant effect on the activity and financial condition of the Eurohold group for at least the next financial year in the segments in which it operates.
This section describes our significant risks, including how we manage them. In the event that any of the risks described in this section occur even partially or in combination with other risk factors or circumstances, this may have a significant negative effect on the Company.
The future results of the Company's operations may differ significantly from past results as a result of the occurrence of the risks described here. Given the dynamic macroeconomic environment at the moment, it is possible that other risks and / or uncertain events may occur that are not currently known or that we are unable to assess or consider to be insignificant at the time and which risks may be have a significant adverse effect on the activities of the Company.
***
We draw your attention to the fact that Eurohold Bulgaria AD develops its activities through its subsidiaries, in this regard the financial condition of the Company, its operational results and prospects for development are directly dependent on the condition, results and prospects of its subsidiaries. Every business sector, including the segments in which we operate, is subject to common risks, such as changes in the macroeconomic environment, social, political, financial, regulatory and legislative changes. Our main risks and uncertainties are those that can have the greatest impact on our group's key priorities. The most significant, main for each business group risks and influencing the activity of the company's part of the Eurohold group, as well as the estimated emerging total group risks can be found in the Annual Consolidated Report of Eurohold Bulgaria for 2022.
***
At the individual level, key risks for Eurohold Bulgaria AD continue to be similar to those of previous years, but they have developed in the last years, mainly due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and military actions on the territory of Ukraine. Given the international nature of our business (through subsidiaries), another risk assessed in 2022 is the dynamic development of the macroeconomic environment.
Non-systematic risks are associated with the overall investment risk specific to a company, as well as with the sector (industry) of the economy in which it operates.
As far as the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is related to asset management of other companies, it cannot be referred to a separate sector of the national economy and is exposed to the industry risks of the subsidiaries. The companies from the group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD operate in the following sectors: "insurance", "energy" and "investment intermediation and asset management".
The impact of the individual risks of the subsidiaries is proportional to the share of the respective industry in the structure of Eurohold's long-term investment portfolio.
The main activities of the Holding are carried out through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial results are directly related to the financial results and development trends of the business units of its economic group.
The presence of companies in the portfolio, whose net sales revenues are also formed from products sold to other subsidiaries (related to the group of persons), puts the efficiency of their activities in direct dependence on the level of profitability of customers (related parties), which may negatively affect the profitability of the whole group.
The main risk related to the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is the possibility to reduce the sales revenues of the companies in which it participates and on the receipt of dividends. In this regard, this may affect the growth of the company's revenues, as well as the change in its profitability.
Deteriorating results of one or more subsidiaries could lead to deteriorating results on a consolidated basis. This in turn is related to the share price of the company, as a result of investors' expectations for the prospects of the company and the Eurohold Group, as the market price of the shares takes into account the business potential and assets of the economic group as a whole.
Eurohold's future profits and economic value depend on the strategy chosen by the company's senior management and its subsidiaries. Choosing the wrong strategy can lead to significant losses.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD strives to manage the risk of strategic errors by continuous monitoring of the various stages in the implementation of its market strategy and its results. This is crucial in order to be able to react in a timely manner if a change in the strategic development plan is needed at a certain stage. Untimely or inappropriate changes in the strategy can also have a significant negative effect on the company's operations, operating results and financial condition.
Until now, the economic group of "Eurohold Bulgaria" AD develops its operations mainly in Bulgaria and other European countries through acquisitions and development of companies and assets. According to its development strategy, Eurohold Bulgaria AD intends in the near future to implement a strategy of organic growth and the diversification of the product portfolio of its existing businesses.
The Company's risk related to potential future acquisitions is the uncertainty regarding whether it will be able to identify suitable acquisition sites and investment opportunities. On the other hand, there is uncertainty regarding the assessment of the profitability of future asset acquisitions and whether they will lead to comparable results with the investments made so far. Also, investments in new acquisitions are subject to a number of risks, including possible adverse effects on the results of the economic group as a whole, unforeseen events, as well as difficulties in integrating and optimizing operations an d complementary businesses.
Operational risk is the risk of direct and indirect losses for the Group arising from various internal factors related to operations, personnel, technology and infrastructure, as well as external factors that are different from credit, market and liquidity risk and originate from legal requirements and generally accepted rules of corporate ethics.
The risks associated with the management of the Company may be:
▪ risk of excessive increase in management and administration costs, leading to a decrease in the overall profitability of the company.
The opportunities of Eurohold Bulgaria AD to grow and implement its strategies depend to a large extent on the ability to attract capital. The instability of financial markets, as well as the possible apparent lack of trust between financial institutions, could make it significantly more difficult to attract long -term capital on reasonable terms.
The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD supports the efforts of the subsidiaries in the Group to attract banking resources for investments and use the opportunities provided by this type of financing to provide working capital. The volumes of these attracted funds are maintained at certain levels and are allowed after proving the economic efficiency for each company.
The policy of the management is aimed at raising financial resources from the market in the form of mainly equity securities (shares), debt instruments (bonds) and loans from banking and non -banking institutions, which it invests in its subsidiaries to finance their projects, by increasing their capital or lending. Apart from that, Eurohold Bulgaria AD monitors the capital structure of each company and takes action to maintain the regulatory capital requirements for each business segment by increasing their capital.
The business of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is significantly dependent on the contribution of a number of persons, members of the management and control bodies, top and middle management managers of the parent company and subsidiaries of the structural business areas. It is uncertain that these key employees will continue to work for Eurohold in the future. Eurohold's success will also be linked to its ability to retain and motivate these individuals. The inability of the Company to maintain sufficiently experienced and qualified staff for managerial, operational and technical positions may have an adverse effect on the activities of the economic group as a whole, its operational results and its financial condition.
There is a risk of concentration, which is the possibility that the company may incur a loss due to the concentration of financial resources in the business sector or related parties. This risk is expressed in the possibility that the invested funds will not be returned in full due to the recession in the business in which the investment was made. The Company's management actively monitors this risk and strives for d ecisions, measures and actions to diversify the business in which it operates.
The liquidity risk is related to the possibility that Eurohold Bulgaria AD will not repay its obligations in the agreed amount and / or in time, when they become due. The issuer seeks to minimize this risk by optimally managing cash flows within the group. The Group applies an approach that provides the necessary liquidity resources to meet the incurred liabilities under normal or extraordinary condition s, without realizing unacceptable losses or damaging the reputation of individual companies and the economic group as a whole.
Subsidiaries make financial planning that seeks to meet the payment of expenses and current liabilities for a period of ninety days, including the servicing of financial liabilities. This financial planning minimizes or completely eliminates the potential effect of extraordinary circumstances.
Relationships with related parties arise under contracts for temporary financial assistance to subsidiaries and in connection with transactions related to the ordinary activities of subsidiaries.
The risk of possible transactions between the companies in the Group under conditions that differ from the market ones is expressed in taking the risk of achieving low profitability from provided intra-group financing. Another risk that can be taken is that in the implementation of intra-group trade transactions not enough revenue is realized, and hence a good profit for the company. At the consolidated level, this may have a negative impact on the profitability of the whole group.
Within Eurohold, transactions are constantly made between the parent company and the subsidiaries and between the subsidiaries themselves, arising from the nature of their core business. All related party transactions are conducted under conditions that do not differ from normal market prices and in accordance with IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD operates through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial results are directly dependent on the financial results, development and prospects of the subsidiaries. Poor performance of one or more subsidiaries could lead to deterioration of financial results on a consolidated basis.
Macroeconomic risk is the risk of shocks that may affect economic growth, household income, supply and demand, the realization of profits from economic entities and others. These shocks include global economic and business conditions, fluctuations in national currencies, political developments, changes in legislation and regulatory requirements, the priorities of national governments and more. Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect market performance and the final results of all sectors of the economy. Bulgaria has an open economy and its development depends directly on international market conditions.
Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect market performance and the final results of all sectors of the economy.
The outcome of the realization of some risks related to the international environment will largely depend on the plans and preventive measures of individual countries and international institutions, as evidenced by the recent global economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of the influence of the international environment on companies cannot be diversified and affects all players, but on the other hand it can become an engine for development and implementation of innovations and digitalization that will drastically change and increase business efficiency globally.
The macroeconomic situation and economic growth worldwide are essential for the development of Eurohold Bulgaria AD and its subsidiaries, including the state policies of the respective countries in which it operates and in particular the regulations and decisions taken by the respective Central Banks. which affect monetary and interest rate policy, exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation, budget deficit and external debt, unemployment rates and income structure.
Macroeconomic trends such as: the global economic crisis; the impact of the force majeure of COVID -19, announced worldwide in early 2020, and the measures taken by the governments of the countries concerned; slowing economic growth; the risk of systematic global financial fluctuations; periodic fiscal imbalances; changes in exchange rates to certain currencies; instability in energy prices; economic and political insecurity in some regions of the world; the reduction of economic and consumer activity; may have an adverse effect on the Group's business results, financial position, profit and profitability or expected growth.
The development of Bulgaria's economy faces the risk of external influences and depends directly on international market conditions. The presence of unfavourable macroeconomic conditions in Bulgaria, including rising unemployment and inflation, as well as fiscal instability can have a significant adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and / or performance.
The Eurohold Group operates in Bulgaria, and other European countries, respectively its overall financial position and the results of its operations are affected by economic, legal and political conditions in these countries. Any deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in such countries or in the wider CEE / SEE region
could adversely affect certain products and services offered by the group and lead to lower revenues than originally planned. In addition, general changes in government policy and regulatory systems in each such jurisdiction may increase the Group's operating costs and capital requirements. Any future periods of slowdown or slow growth in each of the markets in which the Group operates could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or prospects.
We are currently witnessing macroeconomic risk arising in early 2020 from the scale and spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, which has affected the entire world and dramatically affected global macroeconomics and economic growth. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly slowed much of global economic growth at the end of the first and throughout the second quarter of 2020, and activity in some sectors was almost completely halted. As a result of the measures imposed by governments to tackle the pandemic, a significant part of international trade has been hampered. This greatly hampers the production process as a result of disrupted supply chains and reduces domestic and external demand. Tightening restrictive measures in response to the significant increase in coronavirus infections (COVID-19) in various countries has led to a decline in economic activity. Globally, the subsequent business results of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic were: deteriorating economic prospects, a significant increase in expected credit losses and other impairments, as well as declining revenues from lower volumes and reduced customer activity.
In 2021 and early 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect the health system, the social environment and the economy. The deviations in the prices of energy resources, as well as the shift in trade relations, which led to a global wave of intense inflationary pressures, had a strong impact. After the start of the mass vaccination, a gradual recovery of the global and local economy and the expected recovery of global activity began. The labour market also had a favourable development, and unemployment continued to decline. The banking system remained stable, well-capitalized, with high levels of liquidity meeting regulatory requirements.
At the moment, uncertainties and risks to the economy still exist. The latest wave of the coronavirus actively developed in early 2022 led to a new slowdown in economic recovery in Europe, accompanied by high inflation, absences from work and work in an online environment, increasing shortages of materials, equipment and labor. Record energy prices have further increased the cost of living and reduced the purchasing power of Europeans, especially in low-income households. In general, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity has generally weakened over time, including that the slowdown in the recovery did not last long, given the abatement of the last wave and the lifting of restrictive measures.
In the future, possible new waves of infection, correspondingly imposed anti-epidemic measures and prolonged staff shortages could prevent recovery / or lead to a further deterioration of economic activity. They could also delay the functioning of critical supply chains for a longer period of time. On the other hand, weaker demand growth in the near term may help overcome supply constraints a little sooner than expected.
Apart from the general effects of the pandemic on all economic entities, it does not directly affect the currently existing businesses of the companies of the Eurohold group. In the period of its manifestation, it had an impact only on the automotive and leasing businesses, which were sold in the middle of 2022 . In this sense, possible new waves of the spread of COVID-19 would not have significant segmental effects on the energy, insurance and financial - the investment business in the group. At this stage, management's assessment of the peak periods of the pandemic is that, with timely and flexible measures, the Eurohold group has managed to cope with the consequences of the situation and reduce the impact on it as much as possible. Management continues to monitor new manifestations and effects of the pandemic to take preventive measures and solutions in order to preserve the health of workers and minimize the impact of the crisis caused by COVID-19.
The hostilities between Russia and Ukraine have received widespread international condemnation, and numerous countries have imposed sanctions on assets and operations owned by the Russian state and certain individuals. This conflict began at a time when the world economy, including Bulgaria's, was gaining momentum after the peak of the Covid-19 crisis and calls into question the previous forecasts for the economic growth of Europe and Bulgaria in particular. The IMF notes that the sanctions imposed by a number of countries against Russia are having an impact on the global economy and financial markets, and will have significant side effects in other countries as well. In many countries, the crisis generated adverse shocks to both inflation and activity amid already heightened price pressures. Central banks closely monitor the impact of rising international prices on domestic inflation, with a view to monitoring and, where necessary, taking appropriate, carefully considered responses. Fiscal policy will need to support the most vulnerable households to offset rising living costs.
The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine cannot be fully assessed at this stage of development, but indicate extremely serious price effects on the overall global economy, substantial growth in inflation, and difficulty in supplying energy resources. Other manifested effects of the beginning of hostilities are: a decline in economic growth, the risk of a humanitarian crisis in connection with a refugee wave of Ukrainian citizens, an uncertain international environment, problems with gas supplies and a significant increase in gas prices, a surge in prices when trading with electricity, fuels and other petroleum products, supply chain constraints due to restrictive and logistical problems, high volatility in stock markets under the pressure of fluctuations in fuel and other basic resource markets, increased interest rates, a shaky banking system, etc.
If the conflict continues to develop, the economic damage will be significant for all sectors of the economy, both of Bulgaria and the EU, including the sectors and regions in which the Eurohold group operates. Eurohold's management follows with concern the development of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and evaluates its impact on the Group's business, analyzing the impact on both sides of the conflict in order to take measures, decisions and concrete actions to mitigate the effects on the group. Eurohold Bulgaria AD, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, owns investments in two insurance companies in Ukraine, and until the end of 2022, one in Belarus and one with a minority stake in Russia.
The management of Eurohold provided assistance and support to the staff in Ukraine and their relatives. In the first half of March, "Euroins Insurance Group" AD successfully evacuated 80 of its employees, their relatives and friends from Ukraine to Bulgaria. The Ukrainian citizens are accommodated in a holiday village on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where they are provided with shelter, food and medical assistance. Some of the evacuated employees continue to perform their duties remotely in a specially equipped room with the necessary equipment.
At the end of 2022, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria and the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group decided to release the insurance group from its participation in the companies in Belarus and Russia (associated participation). On December 30, 2022, Euroins Insurance Group (EIG) signed an agreement for the sale of the two companies, as from the date of the agreement, EIG and Eurohold will not consolidate the results of these companies in their report. Until the date of the transaction, EIG owned 100% of the company's capital in Belarus and 48.61% of that in Russia. These participations added insignificant values to the consolidated results against the background of the assets of the insurance subholding and the assets of Eurohold Bulgaria AD. EIG's business in the two countries accounted for less than 1% of the insurance group's 2022 revenue.
According to the latest Economic Bulletin of the ECB, no. 8/2022 - The global economy is slowing amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, particularly as a result of Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine, and a widespread tightening of financing conditions. As the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine continues to play out and fuel strong inflationary pressures, indicators of consumer and business confidence remain weak, with real disposable incomes falling and rising cost pressures constraining output. The negative e conomic consequences are expected to be partially mitigated by fiscal policy measures. In the medium term, as the energy market rebalances, uncertainty is expected to decrease and real incomes to improve. As a result, economic growth is expected to pick up, supported by strengthening external demand and the removal of remaining supply constraints, despite less favorable financing conditions. The labor market is expected to remain relatively resilient in the coming moderate recession. Overall, average annual real GDP growth is expected to slow significantly, from 3.4% in 2022 to 0.5% in 2023, before accelerating to 1.9% in 2024 and to 1.8% in 2025.
In the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2022, the expectations for the growth of the real GDP in 2023 is to slow down significantly to 0.4%, which will be determined mostly by the transition from a positive to a negative contribution of the change in stocks in the economy. The growth of economic activity is expected to accelerate to 3.2% in 2024, which will be mainly due to the formation of a low positive contribution of net exports due to the recovery of growth in exports of goods. Annual inflation, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is forecast to slow to 4.2% at the end of 2023, with inflation expected to average 7.0% for the year, with short-term pressure on production prices resulting from factors such as realized commodity price increases and supply and labor shortages will continue to weigh on consumer prices. The forecast for inflation at the end of 2024 is for it to slow down to 3.3%, following the downward dynamics of the prices of food and energy raw materials on the international markets.

"Eurohold Bulgaria" AD strives to monitor the probability of the manifestation of the macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that the presence of this risk may have. However, the Holding cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on the business, financial position, profits and cash flows at the group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk may exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.
Force majeure circumstances are all natural disasters and other cataclysms such as abrupt climate change, floods, earthquakes, civil disobedience, clashes, strikes, terrorist acts and hostilities and the like, which are unforeseen. Force majeure circumstances can also be accidents on the material base of a mechanical nature due to human or systemic error. The occurrence of such events may disrupt the normal activities of the Company until the damages are repaired. Also, they may lead to an unpredictable change in the investor attitude and interest in connection with the market of equity and debt securities issued by the Company.
Force majeure may also have a strong impact on the overall macroeconomic and international environment. An example of such a risk is the Pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in the early 2020 epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome associated with a new coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Political risk reflects the impact of political processes in the country on the economic and investment process and in particular on the return on investment. The degree of political risk is determined by the likelihood of adverse changes in the government's long-term economic policy, which may have a negative impact on investment decisions. Other factors related to this risk are possible legislative changes and changes in the tax system concerning the economic and investment climate in the country.
The Republic of Bulgaria is a country with political and institutional stability, based on modern constitutional principles such as a multiparty parliamentary system, free elections, ethnic tolerance and a clear system of separation of powers.
Among the political risks are the successful continuation of Bulgaria's integration into the European Union (EU). After the accession of our country to the EU in early 2007, economic reforms were imposed in the name of our country's integration into the European Union. In the future, economic growth will depend on the political will to pursue economic reforms, with a view to introducing EU best market practices in economic, political, social, legal and financial terms.
Despite the stable policy pursued so far, there is no certainty that factors will not appear in the country that would cause social and political tension, lead to a significant and abrupt change in the political and economic conditions, which could have a significant adverse effect on business. Currently, the political situation in Bulgaria is not particularly stable. This instability manifested itself in April 2021 since the country faced the inability to form a regular and stable government. Domestic political uncertainty continues with a caretaker
government currently in place. This also contributed to a lag in Bulgaria's preparations for joining the Eurozone, which is why the same is being postponed at this stage. At the present time, parliamentary elections are again coming up in the country.
Despite the stable policy pursued so far, there is no certainty that factors will not appear in the country that will create social and political tensions, lead to a significant and abrupt change in political and economic conditions, which could have a significant adverse effect on business. At present, the political situation in Bulgaria is not very stable. Also, at the moment there is no political unanimity in the country about the complicated geopolitical situation in the region from the development of the Russian -Ukrainian crisis.
Potential political instability in the country and in Europe may have a significant adverse effect on the activities of the Company and its group, its operating results and financial condition. Through its subsidiaries, the company operates in the regions affected by the military conflict and in this sense is vulnerable to foreign policy risks and their effects on the country's economy, the regions affected by the conflict and Europe as a whole.
Given the uncertainty of the outcome of the dynamic political and economic situation, the users of this Report should take into account the presence of political risk in accordance with their own understandings and expectations.
Credit risk is the likelihood of a country's international credit ratings deteriorating. Low credit ratings of the country can lead to higher interest rates, more difficult financing conditions for economic entities, including Eurohold.
Credit ratings serve as a basis for measuring and determining a country's credit risk. The latest credit ratings awarded to Bulgaria are as follows:
The confirmation of Bulgaria's Baa1 rating balances the following key factors: 1) Moody's expectations that an energy crisis in Europe will not significantly weaken the country's economic and fiscal position. 2) The support for Bulgaria's credit profile arising from the prospect of adopting the euro, despite the risk of delaying adoption beyond 2024. 3) The risks to the effectiveness and progress of the government on key priorities arising from the prolonged domestic political stalemate in the country.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations for relatively little fluctuation in the country's main economic and fiscal indicators over the next 12 to 18 months. It also reflects the balance of risks between the potential negative effects on the credit profile arising from the political situation in the country and the potential positive effects of the eventual adoption of the euro.
According to the agency, the stable outlook balances, on the one hand, weaker expectations for Bulgaria's economic growth in the short term and increased domestic political uncertainty, and on the other hand, the country's low net public debt and low interest costs. According to S&P Global Ratings, this development gives Bulgaria policy space and makes its public finances less sensitive to rapidly rising interest rates globally. Bulgaria is currently experiencing high inflation, which according to S&P Global Ratings could pose a challenge to its membership of the Eurozone from 2024.
S&P Global Ratings expect Bulgaria's GDP growth to weaken significantly in the coming months. Although the economy remained more resilient in 2022 from the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than the rating agency initially expected, several challenges lie ahead. External demand from Bulgaria's main trading partners in the EU is expected to decline and consumption to weaken as continued high inflation, estimated at nearly 10% on average in 2023, will weigh on real wages. Projects financed with EU funds, which will provide some support for the economy, are assessed as a positive influence. S&P Global Ratings forecast real growth in 2023 of less than 1%, a significant slowdown from their expectations of 3% in 2022. Source: www.minfin.bg
The adoption of a consistent and long-term economic policy in Bulgaria would be a valid reason for the potential increase in the country's credit rating, which in turn would have a favorable impact on the economic group of Eurohold expressed in the Group's financing opportunities. In the event of a downgrading of Bulgaria's credit rating, as a result of the unstable governance of the country, there may be a negative impact on the Group and on the cost of financing, except in the case that its loan agreements are with fixed interest rates.
Inflation risk is associated with the likelihood that inflation will affect real investment returns. The main risks related to the inflation forecast relate to the dynamics of international prices and the rate of economic growth in Bulgaria. International prices of raw materials and food products may rise more significantly as a result of political crises such as are currently available or an increase in demand. The limited supply of some agricultural goods and especially cereals internationally in connection with adverse climatic events or force majeure circumstances may additionally cause higher inflation in the country.
According to NSI data, according to the consumer price index (CPI), the monthly inflation in February 2023 was 0.8% compared to the previous month, and the annual inflation for February 2023 compared to February 2022 was 16.0%. Year-to-date inflation (February 2023 vs. December 2022) is 2.1%, and average annual inflation for the period March 2022 - February 2023 vs. March 2021 - February 2022 is 16.4%.
According to the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), in February 2023, monthly inflation was 0.7% compared to the previous month, and annual inflation for February 2023 compared to February 2022 was 13.7%. Year-to-date inflation (February 2023 vs. December 2022) is 1.9%, and average annual inflation for the period March 2022 - February 2023 vs. March 2021 - February 2022 is 14.0%.
According to the price index for the small basket (ICPM), in February 2023 an increase of 1.2% was registered on a monthly basis and by 2.7% since the beginning of the year (February 2023 compared to December 2022).
According to the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2022, annual inflation is expected to slow to 4.2% at the end of 2023 and to 3.3% at the end of 2024. Despite the expected slowdown of inflation at the end of 2023, on average for 2023 it is expected to remain high (7.0%) as, in the near term, pressures on producer prices, including from past increases in commodity prices, tight supply and labor shortages, will continue to weigh on consumer prices.
In general, inflation can affect the amount of the Company's expenses, since part of the company's liabilities are interest-bearing. Their service is linked to the current interest rates, which also reflect the inflation rates in the country. Therefore, the maintenance of low inflation levels in the country is considered a significant factor for the activity of the Eurohold group.
At the present moment and in general, the currency board mechanism provides guarantees that the inflation in the country will remain under control and will not have an adverse impact on the economy of the country, and in particular on the activities of the Company and its group, and from there on its possibility to service its debt positions.
However, the current geopolitical situation in Europe makes the outlook for inflation in the Eurozone very uncertain and depends crucially on the development of the military con flict, the impact of current sanctions and possible further measures.
Given this, users of this Report should carefully consider and account for both current levels of inflation risk and future opportunities for its manifestation.
This risk is associated with the possibility of depreciation of the local currency. For Bulgaria in particular, this is a risk of premature abandonment of the terms of the Currency Board at a fixed exchange rate of the national currency. On July 10, 2020, the European Central Bank announced that Bulgaria has been officially admitted to the ERM II currency mechanism. The central rate of the Bulgarian lev is fixed at 1 euro = 1.95583 levs, and it was accepted that Bulgaria joins the currency mechanism with its existing currency board regime, as a unilateral commitment and without additional requirements to the ECB. The agreement on the participation of the Bulgarian lev in the Monetary Mechanism II (CM II) is accompanied by a firm commitmen t of the Bulgarian authorities to pursue prudent economic policies in order to preserve economic and financial stability and achieve a high degree of sustainable economic convergence.
Any significant depreciation of the lev can have a significant adverse effect on business entities in the country, including the Company. Risk also exists when the income and expenses of an entity are generated in different currencies. The exposure of the economic entities operating on the territory of Bulgaria against the US dollar, which is the main currency of a significant part of the world markets for raw materials and products, is particularly pronounced.
The activity of the Company does not presuppose exposure to significant currency risk, because almost all its operations and transactions are denominated in Bulgarian levs and euros, and the latter has a fixed exchange rate against the lev.
Significant changes in the different exchange rates of the subsidiaries outside Bulgaria, namely in Romania, Northern Macedonia, Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus, respectively - Romanian Leu (RON), Macedonian Denar (MKD), Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), Georgian GEL (UAH) and the Belarusian ruble (BYR), whose exchange rate is determined almost freely on the local foreign exchange market, would have a corresponding effect on Eurohold's group results. The consolidated revenues of Eurohold Bulgaria AD will be exposed to currency risk depending on the movement of these currencies against the euro.
Interest rate risk is related to the possibility of changing the prevailing interest rates in the country. Its influence is expressed in the possibility of the net incomes of the companies to decrease due to the increase of the interest rates at which the Issuer finances its activity. Interest rate risk is included in the category of macroeconomic risks due to the fact that the main prerequisite for a change in interest rates is the emergence of instability in the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed through the balanced use of different sources of financial resources.
The increase of interest rates, other things being equal, would affect the price of the financial resources used by the Company in the implementation of various business projects. It can also affect the amount of the company's expenses, as not a small part of the company's liabilities is interest-bearing and their servicing is related to current interest rates. The current trend is to gradually increase interest rates by central banks.
Interest rate trends, according to the ECB, are for a significant increase at a steady pace until restrictive levels are reached in order to ensure a timely return of inflation to the medium-term target of 2%.
Unemployment risk is characterized by a decline in labour demand, influenced by real aggregate demand in the economy, as a result of which the real purchasing activity of some economic entities decreases. High levels of unemployment can seriously jeopardize economic growth in the country, which in turn can lead to shrinking consumption and reduce revenues generated by businesses in the country, including revenues generated by the Company and its subsidiaries.
According to the latest NSI data, the unemployment rate for 2022 is 4.3%, respectively 4.5% for men and 4.0% for women. Compared to 2021, the ratio decreases by 1.0 percentage points. There are 140.4 thousand unemployed persons, of which 78.2 thousand (55.7%) are men and 62.2 thousand (44.3%) are women. The relative share of the long-term unemployed among all the unemployed is 53.8%, and the long -term unemployment rate is 2.3% - respectively 2.3% for men and 2.1% for women. Source: www.nsi.bg
According to the Macroeconomic forecast of the BNB from December 2022, in 2023 a slight decrease in employment of 0.2% is predicted in accordance with the predicted slowdown of economic activity in the country. The expected improvement of the external environment and acceleration of real GDP growth in Bulgaria in 2024 will lead to an increase in employment, but its growth will be limited (up to 0.3%) due to unfavorable demographic processes in the country. At the same time, the reduction of the working -age population will be a factor in the gradual lowering of the unemployment rate from 4.3% in 2022 to 4.0% in 2024.

The company's results may be affected by changes in regulations. The Eurohold Group operates in a highly regulated environment in various European countries. The possibility of more radical changes in the regulatory framework, in the interpretation or practice of law enforcement, as well as in discrepancies in legislation and regulations in Bulgaria and in the countries where the Company operates, may have an adverse effect on its activities as a whole. results, as well as its financial condition.
Financial risk is the additional uncertainty for the investor about the receipt of income in cases where the company uses borrowed or borrowed funds. This additional financial uncertainty complements business risk. When part of the funds with which the company finances its activities are in the form of loans or debt securities, the payments for these funds are a fixed obligation.
All sectors in which the subsidiaries of the Eurohold Group operate have a highly competitive environment. The future success of the group will depend on the ability of Eurohold and its subsidiaries to remain competitive compared to other companies operating in the market segment.
The elements outlining the framework for managing the individual risks are directly related to specific procedures for timely prevention and resolution of possible difficulties in the activities of Eurohold Bulgaria AD. They include ongoing analysis in the following areas:
Overall risk management is focused on minimizing the potential negative effects that could affect the Group's financial results. Financial risks are currently identified, measured and monitored through various control mechanisms in order to determine adequate prices for the services and products offered by the companies in the Eurohold Group and the borrowed capital attracted by them. An adequate assessment of the market circumstances, the investments made in the group and the forms of maintaining the free liquid assets is performed, without allowing unjustified concentration of a given risk.
The occurrence of unforeseen events, incorrect assessment of current trends, as well as many other micro and macroeconomic factors can affect the assessment of the company's management team.

The Company also has liabilities under bank loans with carrying value of BGN 45 662 thousand as of 31.12.2022, which were received from the International Investment Bank, Russia and the International Bank for Economic Co-operation, Russia. There has been no change in the terms of the loan agreements since the start of the war and the imposition of international sanctions against Russia.
Apart from the loans described above, the Company has no direct material investments or settlements with customers and suppliers from Russia or Ukraine as of December 31, 2022 and due to the nature of its business, namely holding activities related to investment management and the provision of services, as well as due to the lack of dependence on supplies of raw materials, management's assessment is that there are no identified circumstances and factors that call into question the validity of the going concern principle or that have a direct and negative effect on the Company's activities as a result of the military conflict th at has arisen between Ukraine and Russia in 2022.
The war between Russia and Ukraine had an indirect impact on Eurohold Bulgaria AD through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, which held investments in insurance companies in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. At the end of 2022, in connection with the ongoing military actions on the territory of Ukraine, the insurance companies operating in Belarus (100% participation) and in Russia (associated participation of 48.61%) were sold. The business in the two countries was insignificant, forming less than 1% of the insurance group's revenues for 2022. The two subsidiary companies in Ukraine continue to perform their activities.

Transactions concluded with subsidiaries and other related entities under common control for the c omparable period 2021 are presented in the Appendices to the Annual Individual Financial Statement for 2022 in note 30.1.1. Transactions with subsidiaries and other related parties under common control.
In 2022, the Company carried out investment and financial transactions in which no cash or cash equivalents was exchanged and which are not reflected in the statement of cash flows, as follows:
The concluded non-cash transactions for the comparable period 2021 are presented in the Appendices to the Annual Individual Financial Statement for 2022 in note 28. Non-cash transactions.
5 / Information on events and indicators of an unusual nature for the Company, having a significant impact on its activities, and the revenues and expenses incurred by it; assessment of their impact on the results in the current year.
During the reporting period, there were no events of an unusual nature for the Company outside of its usual activities.
The main events in 2022 were related to the sale of the investments in the automobile and leasing business.
In view of the entry from mid-2021 into a new sector market, namely the energy market, Eurohold announced the automotive and lease segments as the non-core business for the group in its development strategy. Within one-year, Eurohold was able to sell part of the automobile companies and negotiate the sale of leasing companies. In addition, on 30.06.2022, Eurohold Bulgaria AD signed an agreement for the sale of the entire remaining automotive and leasing business, through the sale of 100% of the owned shares of the capital of its subsidiaries Auto Union AD and Eurolease Group AD.
As a result of the sales of these subsidiaries, Eurohold incurred for 2022 a loss of BGN 13,469 thousand in 2022, representing a one-time effect of the sale of these investments in subsidiaries and having an impact on the overall performance of Eurohold for 2022 (see below in "Financial result").
The negative result from the sale of subsidiary companies is based on expert assessments by independent appraisers and reflects the significantly reduced business in connection with the previously sold subsidiaries of the automotive subholding Avto Union AD - the main income generators of the automotive group. By the half of 2022, the remaining companies in Auto Union are smaller in terms of business volume and with significantly low growth potential.
Regarding the leasing business - the significantly reduced sales in Auto Union are proportionally reflected in the reduction of the leasing business, which leads to the generation of a significantly smaller volume of new business and a lack of growth factors.
On 17.03.2023, the Romanian financial regulator ASF decided to revoke the license for the insurance activity of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A., part of Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG), opening bankruptcy proceedings and appointing the Insurance Guarantee Fund (FGA) for temporary administrator of the company.
In this regard, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD has decided to impair the investment of its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, which is the parent company of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A. The management's assessment was made on the basis of valuation reports by independent licensed valuation experts and taking into account the possibility of hidden effects in relation to the withdrawal of the license of the Romanian insurance company and the potential violations of synergy in the group of EIG, maintaining its conservative approach to asset valuation.
6 / Information on off-balance sheet transactions - nature and business purpose, indication of the financial impact of the transactions on the activity, if the risk and benefits of these transactions are significant for the Company and if the disclosure of this information is essential for assessing the financial condition of the Company.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD has not entered into off-balance sheet transactions.
As of 31.12.2022, there are no legal cases against the Company.
The Company has provided Guarantees to related parties. The Company also received guarantees by related parties for its liabilities, as follows:

The remuneration policy does not provide for deviations from the procedure for its application in connection with extraordinary circumstances under Article 11, paragraph 13, including an explanation of the nature of the extraordinary circumstances and an indication of the specific components that have not been applied.
The Basic Principles of Remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, adopted at the regular annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2020, set out the basic principles of Ordinance № 48 of the FSC.
The remuneration policy aims to support the long-term business goals of the company and to promote behavior that supports the creation of value for shareholders, while providing competitive remuneration that is sufficient to attract and retain directors with qualities necessary for successful management and development of the company. This policy is designed to be implemented for a long period of time, unless the company's shareholders request its update and change. Amendments to the Policy approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders shall be adopted in the order of its preparation and approval.
The Supervisory Board, in its function as the Remuneration Committee, considers that the criteria for determining the remuneration are currently effective, in view of the financial results achieved during the reporting period. The implementation of these criteria will continue to be a priority of the Supervisory Board.
For the next 2023 financial year, the Remuneration Committee of Eurohold Bulgaria AD proposes that the remuneration of the members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and the Procurator remain unchanged compared to 2022, and that only permanent remuneration be paid to them, as follows:
▪ Milena Milchova Gencheva - BGN 13 320
The members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board agree that in case of a sharp change in the financial and economic indicators, regardless of whether they are in an upward or downward direction, the Remuneration Program will be revised and the changes reflected in it will be duly adopted.
No recommendations were made on the previous remuneration report by a shareholder or his representative participating in the regular meeting of the General Meeting of Eurohold Bulgaria AD.
This report was prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Supervisory Board and adopted at a meeting of the Management Board together with the annual financial statements for 2022.
The remuneration report is published on the website of "Eurohold Bulgaria" AD (www.eurohold.bg ) at the same time as the annual financial report for 2022 and is available for a period of 10 years.

Grant Thornton OOD A 26, Cherni Vrah Blvd, 1421 Sofia A 4, Paraskeva Nikolau Str., 9000 Varna T (+3592) 987 28 79, (+35952) 69 55 44 F (+3592) 980 48 24, (+35952) 69 55 33 E [email protected] W www.grantthornton.bg
To the shareholders of EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD Sofia, 43, Christopher Columbus Blvd.
We have audited the separate financial statements of Eurohold Bulgaria AD ("the Company"), which comprise the separate statement of financial position as of 31 December 2022 and the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, separate statement of changes in equity and separate statement of cash flows for the year ended and notes to the separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion" section of our report, the accompanying separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2022, its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted from the EU and the Bulgarian legislation.
As disclosed in Note 13 "Investments in subsidiaries" to the separate financial statements, the Company has investments with carrying value of BGN 651 950 thousand as of 31 December 2022, of which BGN 471 100 thousand are related to the investment in Euroins Insurance Group AD. Due to the occurrence of the events on 17 March 2023, which are described in Note 31 "Events after the end of the reporting period" to the separate financial statements, related to the loss of license and the commencement of procedure for insolvency of Euroins Romania Asiguarare – Reasigurare S.A., Romania, a material controlled undertaking from the insurance segment of Eurohold Group, Company's management performed impairment testing of the investments in the insurance segment, especially those Bulgarian entities, which were directly affected by the events on 17 March 2023, IC EIG RE EAD and Euroins Insurance Group AD. The fair value of the investments in Bulgarian companies was determined on the basis of reports issued by two independent external valuation experts. The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD recognised impairment loss of BGN 52 715 thousand in 2022 related to the investment in Euroins Insurance Group AD. Due to the specific judgements and estimates made by management in determining the recoverable amount of the investment of Eurohold Bulgaria AD in Euroins Insurance Group AD in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets", we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the reasonableness of these estimates and judgements. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether and to what extent further adjustments are necessary to the carrying amount of BGN 471 100 thousand of the investment in the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD as of 31 December 2022.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independent Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), together with the ethical requirements of Bulgarian Independent Financial Audit Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Key audit issues are those issues that, in our professional judgment, were of the greatest importance in the audit of the separate financial statements for the current period. These matters are considered as part of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole and the formation of our opinion on it, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the " Basis for Qualified Opinion" section, we have identified the matter described below as a key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information consists of the annual activity report, including the corporate governance statement and the report on compliance with the remuneration policy prepared by management in accordance with the Accounting Act and other applicable legislation requirements, but does not include the separate financial statements and our audit report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate financial statements does not cover other information and we do not express any form of assurance about it unless expressly stated in our report and to the extent that it is stated. In connection with our audit of the separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and thereby determine whether that other information is materially inconsistent with the separate financial statements or our knowledge of the audit, or otherwise it appears to contain material misstatement. In the

event that, based on the work we have done, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in this other information, we are required to report this fact.
As described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion" section of this report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the matter identified in this section. Accordingly, we are unable to conclude whether the other information does not contain material misstatement in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS), adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (IFRS) adopted by the EU and Bulgarian law, and for such an internal control system as management deems necessary to ensure the preparation of financial statements that do not contain material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process of the Company.
Our objectives are to obtain a reasonable degree of assurance as to whether the separate financial statements as a whole do not contain material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our audit opinion. A reasonable level of assurance is a high level of assurance, but there is no guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with ISA and the Independent Financial Audit Act will always reveal material misstatement, where such exists. Incorrect readings may arise as a result of fraud or error and are considered material if it could reasonably be expected that they, alone or as a whole, could influence the economic decisions of consumers made on the basis of this financial statement. report.
As part of our audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
In addition to our responsibilities for reporting under ISAs, described above in section "Information Other than the Separate Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon", regarding annual activity report, including the corporate governance statement and the report on compliance with the remuneration policy, we have performed the additional procedures contained in the Guidelines of the professional organisation of certified public accountants and registered auditors in Bulgaria - Institute of Certified Public Accountants (ICPA). The procedures on the existence, form and contents of the other information have been carried out in order to state whether the other information includes the elements and disclosures in accordance with Chapter Seven of Bulgarian Accountancy Act and Article 100m, paragraph (10) in relation to Article 100m, paragraph (8), subparagraphs (3) and (4) of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act, as well as Article 100m, paragraph 14 in relation to Article 116c, paragraph (1) of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act.
Based on the procedures performed, we describe the outcome of our work:
Based on the procedures performed and our knowledge of the Company and the environment in which it operates, in our opinion, there is no material misstatement in the description of the main characteristics of the internal control system and of the risk management system of the Company in connection with the financial reporting process and also in the information pursuant to Article 10, paragraph 1, items "c", "d", "f", "h" and "i" of Directive 2004/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on takeover bids, which are included in the corporate governance statement, being a component of the annual management report.
