Contracted investments in intangible assets amounted to PLN 3,684 thousand as at 30 September 2022 and included mainly the acquisition of software enabling the rapid generation of reports to compare large sets of information during system tests,

neural networks and algorithms (contracted investments in intangible assets amounted to PLN 3,983 thousand as at 31 December 2021 and included mainly investments in the controlling system, the WIBIX system and the implementation of software to support information exchange with commodity market participants).
Goodwill recognised in these financial statements was reviewed for indications of impairment as at 30 September 2022. As regards the goodwill from the acquisition of BondSpot S.A. and the goodwill from taking control of the TGE Group, indications were identified which require an impairment test.
The outbreak of war in Ukraine caused high volatility and uncertainty on the gas and electricity markets. Legislative changes introducing the possibility of temporarily lifting or limiting the obligation to trade in natural gas on the exchange and lifting the obligation to trade in electricity on the exchange and capping energy prices may affect the turnover on the electricity and gas market and, consequently, the company's position and financial results in the following quarters. This assumption was the reason for a goodwill impairment test.
The impairment test of the goodwill from taking control of the TGE Group as at 30 September 2022 was performed by estimating the value in use according to the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method on the basis of certain financial assumptions for the years 2022-2026, including among others the expected turnover in electricity, gas and property rights taking into account expected market developments in these areas, price list changes, as well as operating expenses and capital expenditure.
The goodwill impairment test as at 30 September 2022 did not require any allowances to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the GPW Group.
In 2022, the main factor affecting the company's financial results was the situation on the treasury bond market with an increase in treasury bond yields starting almost at the beginning of 2022. Since the beginning of 2022, 10-year bond yields increased steadily, following the increase in government bond yields on foreign markets. Inflationary pressure supported by an increase in fuel prices on global markets was an important driver of the increase in yields of Polish treasury securities. The fall in the prices of treasury bonds, both Polish and foreign, was also influenced by the policy of the US central bank (FED) pursuing a policy of sharp interest rate hikes.
The value in use of the cash-generating unit, which is considered to be the entire company BondSpot, was carried out using the DCF method based on the projected results of BondSpot S.A. for the years 2022-2026.
The main assumptions of the test performed as at 30 September 2022 included:
As a result of the analysis, a decision was made to recognise an impairment allowance on the goodwill at PLN 6,706 thousand. The allowance was recognised in other expenses of the Group. After the allowance, as at 30 September 2022, the goodwill from the acquisition of BondSpot in the Group's statement of financial position amounted to PLN 12,756 thousand compared with PLN 19,462 thousand as at 31 December 2021.
The entities measured by the equity method by the Group included:
As a result of the recognition of impairment of the investment in PAR at PLN 583 thousand as at 30 June 2020, the value of the investment in PAR was nil in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2022 and as at 31 December 2021.
A loan granted by the Exchange to PAR is disclosed in Note 5.1.2.

In the first nine months of 2022, the Group did not identify any new risks related to the pandemic and took no new measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the Group's operations and results compared to those identified in the 2021 annual financial statements.
In February 2022, armed conflict broke out in Ukraine. In view of the impact of the conflict on the political and economic situation in Europe and the world, the GPW Group took into account the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority issued on 2 March 2022 for issuers of securities and carried out an analysis of the impact of the war on current operations and on the ability of the GPW Group companies to continue as a going concern in the next 12 months.
As the GPW Group companies do not have business operations in Russia and Ukraine, the war in this region does not directly affect the presented and future financial results of the Group. The Group's financial results may be affected by the situation on the gas and electricity market in connection with the operation of a commodity exchange for trading in these commodities.
The GPW Group analysed the depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets applied to assets held as at 30 June 2022 and identified no need to change the estimates used.
The Group considers that the outbreak of war did not affect the judgements made in the measurement of lease liabilities or the existing classification of financial assets under IFRS 9.
As at 30 September 2022, the GPW Group held PLN 565 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term financial assets in the form of bank deposits and guaranteed corporate bonds. These represent sufficient financial resources to conclude that the Group's liquidity risk in the short to medium term is low.

The Group does not hold any material foreign currency assets and therefore exchange rate fluctuations due to uncertainty in the foreign exchange markets would be immaterial to the financial statements.
The GPW Group monitors the amount of trade receivables on an ongoing basis, especially trade receivables from counterparties related to parties involved in the armed conflict. As at 30 September 2022, no significant receivables were identified in this group of counterparties.
Details of the identified risks related to the pandemic and the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine on the Company's and the Group's operations and financial position are presented in Note 2.8.5 to the Management Board Report on the Activity of the Parent Company and the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group for 2021 and in Note 7.1 to the Interim Report of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group for the nine months of 2022.
The Exchange Management Board and the Management Boards of the Group companies monitor the situation related to the above-mentioned factors on an ongoing basis and will take appropriate action, including informing the market, if new factors emerge that could have a material impact on the GPW Group's operations and financial results.
In the opinion of the GPW Management Board, at the time of publication of this report, the Group has not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or circumstances that might cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern. The prolonged conflict, actions taken by the Polish government, the European Union authorities and NATO, and the related uncertainty on the financial markets may affect the operations and financial results of the GPW Group companies in the future. As at the date of publication of this report, it is not possible to estimate that impact.
In connection with the implementation of the projects New Trading System, GPW Data, GPW Private Market, TeO and PCOL, the Exchange presented five own blank bills of exchange to NCBR securing obligations under the projects' co-financing agreements. According to the agreements and the bill-of-exchange declarations, NCBR may complete the bills of exchange with the amount of provided co-financing which may be subject to refunding, together with interest accrued at the statutory rate of overdue taxes from the date of transfer of the amount to the Exchange's account to the day of repayment (separate for each project). NCBR may also complete the bills of exchange with the payment date and insert a "no protest" clause. The bills of exchange may be completed upon the fulfilment of conditions laid down in the co-financing agreement. Each of the bills of exchange shall be returned to the Exchange or destroyed after the project sustainability period defined in the project co-financing agreement.
As at 30 September 2022, the Group recognised a contingent liability in respect of an overdue VAT correction. Acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the potential payable (see: Note 5.9).
As at 30 September 2022, the Group held bank guarantees issued in favour of:
In accordance with the GPW Group's tax risk management policy, tax accounts of all Group companies including IRGiT have been subject to an annual tax review carried out by an independent tax advisor since 2017. In addition, following one such review, with a view to verification of tax risk identified in the review, the IRGiT Management Board requested independent advisors to provide an analysis concerning the time of origination of input VAT from transactions in electricity and gas deliveries and the time of origination of the right to deduct input VAT and to calculate potential impact on IRGiT's tax payable of a potential amendment of IRGiT's tax policy which follows the general rules concerning the time of origination of tax liabilities regarding output VAT and the direct application of Directive 112 to the extent of input VAT.
According to the provided opinions, IRGiT's tax policy may be considered correct in the light of EU law, in particular to the extent of input VAT, and considering the specificity of IRGiT's business in relation to output VAT. However, under the literal wording of applicable national tax law, such approach could be challenged by tax authorities.
On 9 October 2020, the Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw dismissed IRGiT's appeal and upheld the individual interpretation issued by the Director of the National Tax Information dated 12 November 2019 concerning the principles of determining the time of origination of the right to deduct input VAT from invoices for electricity and gas. On 5 December

2020, IRGiT filed for cassation with the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw, and followed up with a supplementary submission of 15 April 2021 which referred to recent CJEU case-law, not yet available when the cassation appeal was filed, which fully supports the pleas raised by IRGiT. IRGiT is waiting for the date of the hearing before the Supreme Administrative Court to be set.
IRGiT has developed a tax strategy in that regard in partnership with independent tax advisors.
Due to uncertainty concerning the time of settlement of input and output VAT in all open periods and the amount of the aforementioned VAT payable, guided by the principles of prudence, in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, provisions were set up at PLN 30.4 million as at 30 September 2022 (PLN 28.8 million as at 31 December 2021) against interest that will arise in the event of a shift in the VAT deduction period. After creating the provisions, the Group recognised financial expense of PLN 1.6 million (PLN 1.6 million in 9M 2021). The provisions represent the best possible estimate of the potential liability as at 30 September 2022 which would have to be paid upon an amendment of the existing methodology of determining the time of origination of the tax liability and the deduction right.
From the tax perspective, there is a risk arising from the statute of limitation (five years) concerning the recognition of output VAT reported in November 2016: once recognised under general VAT regulations, due to the application of the lex specialis concerning the time of origination of tax on electricity and gas deliveries, the tax would be deferred to December 2016 and consequently recognised for a second time without the right to correct the accounts for November, which would be in direct violation of the principle of VAT neutrality. According to regulations, if a liability arises in December, it does not expire until 1 January of the sixth consecutive year. Tax liabilities arising from January to November expire on 1 January of the fifth consecutive year (as such liabilities are payable in the year when they originate). Literal application of those rules could however result in double VAT imposed on deliveries. Consequently, acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the contingent liability.

According to the Agreement, the transaction was to be closed by 29 September 2022. As the aforementioned conditions precedent for taking control of AMX were not fulfilled, the parties entered into an agreement on 28 September 2022 postponing the closing of the AMX Share Purchase Agreement until 20 October 2022; on 19 October 2022, the parties entered into an agreement whereby the transaction will be closed on the second business day following the date on which all the aforementioned conditions under the Agreement are fulfilled.
