As of the date of preparation of these annual separate financial statements, the management considers that based on the forecasts for the future development of the Company and the measures taken described below and due to continued financial support from the majority shareholder and taking into account the expected return from subsidiaries companies will be able to continue its activities and repay its obligations without making significant changes in its activities:

  • o The Company issued a new bond loan worth EUR 40 000 000 with ISIN: BG2100002224 in March 2022. The issue is the third in a row of ordinary, commemorative, dematerialized, interest-bearing, secured, non-convertible, non-preferred and freely transferable bonds. The maturity date of the issue is March 8, 2029, and the principal is repaid once at maturity. Interest payments are made every six months, starting from the date of registration of the issue (March 8, 2022), at a fixed nominal interest rate - 3.25% on an annual basis. The purpose of the debenture loan is to raise funds that are expected to be used to reduce the issuer's indebtedness by repaying maturing short-term and / or long-term liabilities of the Company (Note 31);
  • o On 16.11.2021 Avto Union AD, in its capacity as sole owner of the capital of Star Motors EOOD signed a preliminary contract for its sale. Star Motors EOOD is the official importer of Mazda cars for Bulgaria, and through its subsidiary Star Motors DOOEL for the Republic of Northern Macedonia. To date, the Commission for Protection of Competition has published a decision authorizing the concentration on 14.01.2022, and the deal is expected to be finalized soon (Note 31);

  • o On March 17, 2022, Avto Union AD, in its capacity as sole owner of the capital, signed a preliminary contract for the sale of its subsidiary Daru Car EAD. The company is an official BMW service. The deal is currently being approved by regulators (Note 31);
  • o In 2022, the Management will continue the policy of disposal of non-key assets for the Group and will improve its dividend policy in order to provide cash inflows to cover its current indebtedness to related parties and third parties;
  • o The Company has started talks with the investment banks advisors for issuing a new bond issue, within the EMTN program with a limit of EUR 200 million and disbursed as of December 31, 2021 EUR 80 million, which will fully refinance the issue maturing in 12.2021 with ISIN: XS1731768302. The improved financial results of the group in 2021 in one with the previous experience of the Company in connection with the restructuring of the issue with ISIN: XS1542984288 give sufficient confidence for successful refinancing (Note 22).

As of the date of preparation of these annual separate financial statements, the management has assessed the ability of the Company to continue its activities as a going concern based on the available information and the foreseeable future.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

2.3. General point

The most significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the separate annual financial statement are set out below.

The separate annual financial statement is being 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 statement.

2.4. Accounting Assumptions and Accounting Estimates

The presentation of the separate financial statement 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).

2.5. Presentation of the financial statement

The financial statement has 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 financial 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.

2.6. Functional and Reporting Currency

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the functional and reporting currency of the company. The data presented are in thousands BGN (000'BGN) (including the comparative information for 2020), unless otherwise specified. Since 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian Lev is pegged to the EURO 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).

2.7. Consolidated financial statement of the Company

The company has begun the process of preparing its Annual consolidated report for 2021 in accordance with the current IFRS, which report will also include the current separate report. According to the planned dates, the management expects an Annual consolidated report to be approved for issuance no later than 30.4.2022 from the board of Directors of the company, after which date the report will be available to third parties.

2.8. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

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 "financial revenue" or "financial 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.

2.9. Income

Revenue 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:

    1. Identify the contract with a client;
    1. Identify performance obligations;
    1. Determining the transaction price;
    1. Distribution of the transaction price to the execution obligations;
    1. Recognition of revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations.

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:

  • o Income from operations with investments;
  • o Gains from financial operations;
  • o Income from dividends;
  • o Income from loan interest granted to subsidiaries and third parties;
  • o Income from Services granted to subsidiaries.

2.10. Expenses

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 outsourcing.

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.

2.11. Interest

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 calculated 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.

2.12. Fees and Commissions

Fees and commissions costs, 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 incomes, including logistic services fees, insurance, and other intermediation fees, are recognized upon providing the respective services.

The other fees and commissions cost relevant mainly to banking services are recognized upon receipt of the respective services.

2.13. Taxes

Income Tax

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 Taxation Act. The nominal tax rate for 2021 is 10% of the taxable profit (2020: 10%).

Deferred Tax

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:

  • o Tax loss as of 31.12.2021 in amount of BGN 5 176 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 BGN 2 065 thousand)
  • o Thin capitalization under art. 43a as of 31.12.2021 in amount of BGN 4 826 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 in amount of BGN 2 889 thousand)
  • o Impairment of receivables as of 31.12.2021 in the amount of BGN 65 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 - BGN 4 thousand).
  • o Accumulated unused (compensable) leave as of 31.12.2021 in the amount of BGN 2 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 - BGN 1 thousand).

VAT

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 has a VAT registration in this country.

Withholding tax

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.

2.14. Fixed Assets

2.14.1 Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets

2.14.1.1 Property, plant and equipment

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.

Initial Acquisition

Fixed tangible assets are initially measured:

  • o at acquisition cost, which includes purchase price (including duties and non-refundable taxes) and all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose: for assets acquired from external sources;
  • o at fair value: for assets obtained as a result of a charitable transaction;
  • o at evaluation approved by the court and all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose – for assets acquired as a contribution of physical assets.

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.

Subsequent measurement

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 expenses

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 initially 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.

Sales profit and loss

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 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.

2.14.1.2. Right-of-use assets

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.

2.14.2. Intangible assets

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 gain 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.

2.14.3. Depreciation Methods

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

2.14.4. Impairment

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.

2.15. Lease

The Company as a lessee

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:

o The contract contains a specific asset that is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly stated, being identified when the asset is made available to the Company;

  • o The Company is entitled to receive substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the specified asset over the entire period of use, taking into account its rights within the defined scope of the contract;
  • o The Company has the right to direct the use of the designated asset throughout the period of use. The Company assesses whether it is entitled to direct the "how and for what purpose" of the asset to use throughout the period of use.

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 has elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. For contracts entered into before 01.01.2019 the Company relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Accounting for operating 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:

  • o fixed payments (including substantially fixed payments) minus any lease incentive receivables;
  • o variable lease based on an index or interest initially measured by the index or rate at the commencement date;
  • o amounts expected to be paid by the Company under guarantees of residual value;
  • o the cost of exercising a purchase option if the Company has reason to exercise that option, and
  • o payments of penalties for termination of the lease if the lease term reflects the fact that the Company exercises this option.

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, security and conditions.

The Company applies a three-step approach in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on:

  • o Yield of 10-years Government Bonds calculated as an average for the last 3 years;
  • o financing spread adjustment loans to new enterprises, non-financial corporations in a local currency, to determine the initial interest rate for a period of 3 years (for real estate) or the average interest rate on financial leasing to unrelated persons for the last 3 years (for vehicles);
  • o specific lease adjustment related to the specific asset (at the discretion of each individual asset).

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 entity 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-ofuse 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:

  • o the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
  • o any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
  • o any initial direct costs, and
  • o restoration costs.

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-ofuse 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 Company as a lessor

Classification of leases

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.

Classification of sublease contracts

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:

  • (a) if the principal lease is a short-term lease that the entity, as lessee, has reported using the exemption requirements, the sublease agreement is classified as an operating lease;
  • (b) in all other cases, the sublease agreement is classified according to the rights of use arising from the underlying lease and not depending on the underlying asset.

Operating lease

Recognition and evaluation

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 2021 amounting to BGN 492 thousand (2020: BGN 488 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 2021 amount to BGN 104 thousand and are reported under "External service expenses", and local taxes and fees in the amount of BGN 199 thousand are reported under "Other revenues / (expenses), net" (for 2020 the direct operating expenses amount to BGN 126 thousand, and the expenses for local taxes and fees are BGN 144 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
Up 1 till 5
years
Over 5
years
Total
In '000 In '000 In '000 In '000
BGN BGN BGN BGN
As of 31 December, 2021 251 - - 251
As of 31 December, 2020 500 84 - 584

Changes to the lease contract

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.

Presentation

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.

2.16. Employment Benefits

Other long-term employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

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.

Defined benefit plans

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

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.

Short-term employee benefits

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 the past reporting period.

2.17. Financial Instruments

2.17.1. Recognition and derecognition

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.

2.17.2. Classification and initial measurement of the financial instrument

Initially, financial assets are carried at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets 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:

  • o debt instruments at amortized cost;
  • o financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
  • o financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, with or without reclassification of profit or loss, whether debt or equity.

The classification of financial assets is determined on the basis of the following two conditions:

  • o the business model of the Company for the management of financial assets;
  • o the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

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.

2.17.3. Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Debt instruments at amortized cost

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:

  • o the company manages the assets within a business model that aims to hold the financial assets and collect their contractual cash flows;
  • o under contractual terms and conditions of the financial asset, cash flows occur at specific dates, which are only principal payments and interest on the principal outstanding.

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

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 at fair value through profit or loss

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.

2.17.4. Impairment of financial assets

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:

  • o financial instruments whose credit quality has not significantly deteriorated since the initial recognition or have low credit risk (Phase 1);
  • o financial instruments whose credit quality has deteriorated significantly since the time of initial recognition or where the credit risk is not low (Phase 2);
  • o "Phase 3" covers financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. None of the Company's financial assets fall into this category.

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.

Trade and other receivables, contracted assets

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 longterm information to calculate the expected credit losses through customer allocation by industry and time structure of receivables and using a maturity of provisions.

2.17.5. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

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.

2.17.6. Securities sale and repurchase agreements

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.

2.18. Cash and cash equivalents

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.

2.19. Equity and reserves

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:

  • o At least one-tenth of the profit being allocated until the fund amount reaches one tenth or bigger part of the capital as set out in the Articles of Association;
  • o The received funds exceeding the nominal value of shares upon issue thereof (premium reserve);
  • o Other sources as set out by resolution of the General meeting.

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.

2.20. Earnings per share

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.

2.21. Liability Provisions

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 28. Contingent liabilities and commitments.

2.22. Judgments that are crucial for the application of the Company's accounting policy. Key estimates and assumptions with high uncertainty.

2.22.1. Significant management judgments in applying accounting policies

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:

Deferred tax assets

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-by-case 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 statement for 2021, as follows:

  • o Tax loss as of 31.12.2021 in amount of BGN 5 176 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 BGN 2 065 thousand)
  • o Thin capitalization under art. 43a as of 31.12.2021 in amount of BGN 4 826 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 in amount of BGN 2 889 thousand)
  • o Impairment of receivables as of 31.12.2021 in the amount of BGN 65 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 - BGN 4 thousand).
  • o Accumulated unused (compensable) leave as of 31.12.2021 in the amount of BGN 2 thousand (as of 31.12.2020 - BGN 1 thousand).

Debt instruments measured at amortized cost

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.

Leases

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.

2.22.2. Uncertainty of accounting estimates

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 financial statement of the Company as of 31 December 2020.

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

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 impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries is recognized in 2021 in the amount of BGN 64 772 thousand (Notes 8 and 15). Not reported impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries in 2020.

Impairment of loans and receivables

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.

Fair value of financial instruments

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.

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.

Factors Determining Financial Risk

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:

2.23.1. Market risk analysis

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.

Currency risk

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 leva. The Company's foreign transactions, denominated principally in Polish zloty and British pounds, expose the Company to foreign exchange risk.

The Company owns bond investments in euro. The company has loans, issued bonds and lease liabilities in foreign currency – Euro, PLN (Polish zloty) and British pounds. 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.

In December 2021, a bond loan under the EMTN program was extended and transformed from Polish zlotys into euros, thus eliminating the risk of changes in the exchange rate of Polish zlotys.

Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and translated into BGN at the end of the reporting period are presented as follows:

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 Polish zloty +/- 0,70% (for 2020 +/- 2,69%)
  • o British Pounds +/- 2,22% (for 2020 +/- 1,13%)
  • o Czech crowns +/- 3,07% (for 2020 +/- 0,71%)
  • o US dollars +/- 4,18% (for 2020 +/- 7,62%)

All other parameters are considered constant.

These rates are based on average exchange rates over the last 12 months of 2021 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.

Interest Risk

The Company's policy is aimed at minimizing the interest risk with regard to long-term funding. Therefore, the long-term borrowings are with fixed interest rates. All investments in Company's bonds are paid on the basis of fixed interest rates. As of 31 December 2021, the Company is not exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates on its bank loans, which have a constant interest rate. All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company have fixed interest rates. All investments in the Company's bonds are paid on the basis of fixed interest rates.

Other Risk - Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

Due to the pandemic wave of Covid-19 (Coronavirus), which became global in late February and early March 2020 and led to a significant reduction in financial activity worldwide, the Company analysed on the basis of currently available data the potential effect on its financial position and in particular on the models used, according to IFRS 9.

This disclosure complies with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, as well as the recommendations of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

As of the date of preparation of these Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, the economic activity has not yet fully recovered and sufficient statistical information been not yet available, both for the real effect on the Bulgarian and world economy and on available significant forecast data for their recovery in the coming months.

Development of Covid-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

At the end of 2019, news about COVID-19 (Coronavirus) first appeared from China, when a limited number of cases of an unknown virus were reported to the World Health Organization. In 2020, the virus spread worldwide and its negative impact gained momentum. On March 11, 2020, after cases of the new coronavirus strain were reported in 114 countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 events as a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, at the request of the government, the National Assembly declared a state of emergency in Bulgaria due to the coronavirus, which lasted until 13.5.2020 and was replaced by an emergency epidemic until 31.8.2021 and is currently extended to 31.3.2022.

Similar measures have been introduced in other countries, such as Greece (11 March 2020), Romania (21 March 2020), Ukraine (14 March 2020), Northern Macedonia (18 March 2020). As a result of the measures imposed by the governments, a significant part of the economic activity in the individual countries was suspended, and in addition, a significant part of the international trade was hindered.

The company takes all necessary measures to preserve the health of employees and minimize the impact of the crisis at this stage of its occurrence. The actions are in accordance with the instructions of the National Operational Headquarters and strictly follow the orders of all national institutions.

Management is closely monitoring the situation and looking for ways to reduce its impact on the Company, but the decline in stock prices on global stock exchanges could affect the fair value of the Company's investments if the negative trend continues. The management of the Company has analysed the expected effect on both the economic growth and the credit rating of the countries (and respectively the counterparties) in which it operates, and the analysis is presented below.

As can be seen from the above data, the Management takes into account the possible short-term risks to the overall economic development of the main markets where it operates. The expected reduction of the Gross Domestic Product could be significant, but there are also general expectations for rapid recovery during the period 2021-2022 and a return to the average predicted growth levels before Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

Effect on credit ratings

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 Company.

Continuous monitoring helps the management in the assessment of the credit risk in relation to the countries where the Group operates, as well as the main investments (subject to both markets and credit risk) of the Group companies.

At present, despite the overall decrease of forecasts and limited cases of credit rating deterioration, the Management considers that before a significant period of time passes during which symptoms of deterioration in the overall credit quality of both investments and the general environment where the Group operates, it cannot perform a sufficiently sustainable and reliable assessment of the effect that Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

Analysis of the expected effect on the IFRS model 9

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:

  • o The assessment of the deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparties;
  • o The assessment of the potential effect on the expected credit losses from the exposures to the counterparties.

The general conclusion of the Management of the Group is that at the time of issuing this consolidated financial statement in short term, no significant deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparties is expected due to:

  • o The measures taken by the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, the governments of the countries where the Group operates, including the applied private and public moratoriums, which currently do not lead to additional indications of significantly deteriorated credit quality of the counterparties. Management strictly monitors the existence of long-term indications of deterioration, as the general temporary potential liquidity problems of counterparties caused directly by Covid-19 (Coronavirus) are not considered indications of credit deterioration;
  • o At present, despite the overall decrease and the limited cases of credit rating deterioration, the Management believes that before a significant period of time passes during which symptoms of deterioration in the overall credit quality of both investments and the general environment in which the Group operates, it cannot perform a sufficiently sustainable and reliable assessment of the effect that Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

Concerning the model (including the extended and simplified one) for calculating the expected credit losses, the Management considers that it is possible to make a change in the general model. However, the Management recognizes a possible short-term risk to the overall economic development of the countries in which the Company operates. Also, in some markets, the expected reduction in Gross Domestic Product could be significant. Also takes into account the general expectations for a rapid recovery in the period 2021-2022 and the expectations of a return to average projected growth levels before Covid-19 (Coronavirus). Based on that the company decided to review its model and update some of its expectations.

As of December 31, 2020, both reliable macroeconomic statistics and information on medium-term levels of probability of default are available, Management has decided to:

  • o Maintained the expected credit loss of exposures that are part of the simplified model (i.e., trade receivables);
  • o Increased of expected credit loss, of the exposures that are part of the full model (i.e., deposits and cash at bank institutions), as the average increase for deposits was 3.58% and for cash in banking institutions was 4.12%.

2.23.2. Credit risk analysis

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:

31.12.2021 31.12.2020
Note '000 BGN '000 BGN
Groups of financial assets - carrying amounts:
Debt instruments at amortized cost

Other receivables 17 450 1 313
Cash and cash equivalents 18 115 267
Book value 1 414 1 925

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.

2.23.3. Liquidity risk analysis

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.

The table below presents an analysis of the liabilities of Eurohold Bulgaria AD by maturity periods, based on the residual term from the date of the separate statement of financial position to the date of realization of the liability based on the agreed undiscounted payments:

2.24. Capital risk management

By managing its capital, the Company is aimed 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 carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents.

The equity for the reporting periods presented can be analysed as follows:

In thousand BGN 31.12.2021 31.12.2020
Total equity 344 749 303 701
Total liabilities, subordinated debts, loans, debentures, trade and other

Total equity (Equity + net debt) 720 217 633 474
Debt ratio (Net debt/total equity) 52% 52%

The maintenance of the debt ratio in 2021 is mainly due to the increase in the capital of the Company (Note 19) and partially repaid subordinated debt by related parties (Note 20).

2.25. Determination of fair values

2.25.1. Fair value measurement of financial instruments

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:

  • o Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • o Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

o Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

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.

Determination of fair value

The valuation methods and techniques used to determine fair value have not changed from the previous reporting period.

Stock traded repurchase bonds

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).

2.25.2. Fair value measurement of non-financial assets

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:

  • o the main market for that asset or liability;
    • or
  • o in the absence of a primary market, the most favourable market for that asset or liability.

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 2021 and 31 December 2020, measured at fair value at regular intervals:

Fair value measurement Note Book value Fair value

629 459 - - 629 459 629 459

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.

As of December 31, 2020, there is an excess of the carrying amount over the equity of certain investments, which is a potential indicator for impairment of investments in subsidiaries. This necessitated impairmen t tests. External evaluators have been hired for this purpose and operate in accordance with generally accepted international valuation standards.

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:

  • o Investment in Euroins Insurance Group AD Net Asset Value Method
  • o Auto Union AD Net Asset Value Method
  • o Euro-finance AD Discounted net flows method 90%, the method of industry coefficients 10%.
  • o Eurolease Group EAD Net Asset Value Method.

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 that 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.

Financial forecasts developed by the respective subsidiaries, covering a period of three to five years, as well as other medium- and long-term plans and intentions for their development are used as a basis for cash flow forecasts before taxes.

Military conflict between Ukraine and Russia

There are force majeure circumstances that may affect business activities in all areas worldwide. This is due to the military actions taken by Russia and its invasion of Ukraine.

As a result of the war, a number of countries around the world, including the European Union, have imposed drastic sanctions on Russia, and in part on Belarus, which supports it.

Eurohold Bulgaria owns, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, investments in insurance companies in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus (Note 15).

The Company has liabilities under bank loans to the International Economic Bank, Russia and the International Bank for Economic Cooperation, Russia (Note 21).

Eurohold's management is concerned about the development of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and assesses its impact on the Group's business by analysing the impact on both sides of the conflict.

Currently, the current military situation is a non-corrective event, at the same time it is extremely dynamic and the leadership at this stage cannot make a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the impact of the war on the Society, and will be assessed over time depending on its development, as well as from: the effects of the imposed sanctions on the Russian and Belarusian states and the effects of the reverse sanctions that Russia will impose on the states that do not support it. As the situation is extremely dynamic, the Company's management is not able to fully assess all future indirect effects, but the impact may be negative. This, in turn, could lead to a change in the carrying amounts of the Company's assets, which are determined in the separate financial statements when performing a number of judgments and assumptions by management and reporting the most reliable information available at the date of estimates.

Management will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all possible steps to mitigate the potential effects.

The Management Board of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is not aware of any other important or significant events that occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Principles for performing impairment tests of investments

At the end of each reporting year, the Company's management analyses and assesses whether there are any indications of impairment of its investments in subsidiaries. The following indicators are considered as main indicators of impairment: significant reduction of the volume or cessation of the activity of the subsidiary; loss of markets, customers or technological problems; reporting of negative net assets or assets below the registered share capital; trends of deterioration of key financial indicators; negative impact of macroeconomic factors; as well as other extraordinary circumstances affecting the business activities and development trends of the particular company.

The analysis of the probability of the existence of indications of impairment is made by management on the basis of estimates of external independent licensed appraisers with appropriate qualifications and experience, as well as on the basis of cash flow forecasts before taxes, for which financial forecasts

developed by the respective subsidiaries, covering a period of three to five years, reported medium- and long-term goals and intentions for their development.

The key assumptions used in the analysis are determined specifically for each subsidiary according to its specific activities; business environment; the impact of risk factors and the expected future economic benefits or adverse effects that are likely to materialize; the degree of development of the Bulgarian and foreign markets in which the company operates and its position in these markets, including their development trends; as well as other company-specific indicators.

A decision was made to depreciate investments

After the assessment performed by an independent licensed appraiser as of 31.12.2021, the determined recoverable amount of the subsidiary Auto Union AD amounts to BGN 11,882 thousand. The management of Eurohold has reviewed the appraisers' report and additionally in its analysis has reported:

  • the sale of key operating companies in 2021, as well as the expected acquisitions of companies in 2022 in connection with the adopted new strategy of Eurohold directing efforts in the insurance and energy business - the effects are loss of markets and market positions, sharp decline in revenues and the profits generated by the automotive group (due to the sale of the main company's revenue-generating and generating profits);
  • the impact of hostilities in Ukraine leading to negative sweets in many business sectors, one of which again after COVID-19 is the automotive - the effects are deepening supply chain disruption (with more than 9 months so far) of cars, spare parts, fuels and lubricants, shrinking consumer demand due to the expected rise in inflation and unemployment in the country, which will lead to lower purchasing power of consumers, as well as other negative effects of macroeconomic factors and uncertainty about how long they will last and how long will severely affect businesses and their ability to generate profits. All this will inevitably lead to negative consequences for small companies, such as those left in the Auto Union group, especially given the fact that during the pandemic in connection with the measures taken the stocks of car companies in the group are minimized and optimization the cost has already been incurred;
  • the expected future development of the activity of Auto Union and it is for a significantly smaller group limited by a variety of brands and generating insignificant revenue and profit against the background of the activity until mid-2021.

Based on these factors, effects and trends, the management of Eurohold has decided to further depreciate up to 97% of the net book value of the investment in the automotive group Auto Union, believing that in this way its fair value is achieved corresponding to the value of companies remained in it after the sale of the main companies. As a result, at the end of 2021 an impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 64,772 thousand was reported, and the net value of the investment as of 31 December 2021 amounted to BGN 2,003 thousand.

The most significant of these operations are described above in the section "Important events for the activities of Eurohold Bulgaria, occurred in January - December 2021" and are related to the following one-off costs:

  • 1 / The acquisition of CEZ's energy companies in Bulgaria and the structuring of financing by attracting a number of managers and intermediaries, in connection with which one-time costs for external services were reported, representing consulting, intermediary services and success fees amounting to BGN 7,756 thousand.
  • 2 / Eurohold Bulgaria AD managed to attract the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as an investor in the insurance subholding by concluding a package deal for the acquisition by the bank of a minority share in the capital of Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG). Apart from that, there was a simultaneous increase and decrease in the capital of the insurance subsidiary (see "Investments in enterprises" above). As a result of these operations, Eurohold reported a loss from operations with investments in the amount of BGN 20,360,000.
  • 3 / After entering the energy market at the end of July 2021, Eurohold is actively working towards the implementation of its investment policy aimed at developing significant assets in the insurance and energy business and exemption from investments in the automotive and leasing business. As a result, the car sub-holding company Auto Union contracted the sale of its main car companies, which accounted for a significant part of the car group's revenue and profits. Following the annual review for impairment of investments in subsidiaries, the management of Eurohold has estimated based on the analysis of the recoverable / market value to depreciate its investment in Auto Union AD to 97% of the net book value of the investment. As a result, by the end of 2021, an impairment loss was reported for investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 64,772 thousand.

CURRENT TRENDS AND LIKELY FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

TRENDS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

The development trends of Eurohold Bulgaria AD are related to the strategic goals in the development of the insurance and energy business. Therefore, the future development of the Holding is considered at the group level and is fully related to the achievements of subsidiaries, their ability to generate revenue and profit growth, maintain a stable capital structure, create innovative products to strengthen competitiveness, strengthen and expanding their market positions in the regions in which they operate.

The prospects of the Eurohold Group for 2022 after the integration of the seven acquired energy companies of CEZ Group will be focused on organic growth and improving the return on operating activities. Eurohold will focus on strengthening its subsidiaries in the markets in which they operate and further improving their efficiency, capitalization and profitability, while the process of diversifying the product portfolio will continue.

The acquired energy companies and the development of the energy business from Eurohold will have a significant positive effect on the future development of the Group and will contribute to the improvement of group results and realization of higher volumes of newly generated business and operating income.

The acquisition of CEZ's assets in Bulgaria is a good market opportunity for the implementation of the medium and long-term plan of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, namely portfolio diversification, reducing market risk and increasing the share of regulated markets, which will lead to higher forecasting accuracy. of cash flows and more stable returns. The acquired companies of the CEZ Group in Bulgaria are the largest distributor of electricity in the country, covering an area of about 40,000 sq. Km2, serving over 3 million consumers. Given the significant customer base of the acquired companies, this transaction is important for the strategic positioning of Eurohold, as well as its subsidiaries. In addition, the acquisition will have a positive effect on the long-term credit rating of Eurohold Bulgaria, which will lead to an improvement in the financial condition and risk profile of the Eurohold Group.

After the challenging 2020, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Eurohold Group returned to the path of growth in 2021 and achieved a record high level of generated business. The insurance group registered the largest premium in terms of volume since its founding 26 years ago, and the acquired energy companies were integrated into the structure of Eurohold and contributed to the record high group financial result.

It should be borne in mind that the results of the energy companies acquired at the end of July 2021 were only partially consolidated (for the period from their acquisition on August 1 to December 31, 2021). However, they had a positive effect on the Group's financial condition, including significantly improved consolidated financial ratios and overall liquidity ratios, return on income, return on equity, and greater financial autonomy. The positive effect will become even stronger from 2022, when the results of energy companies will be consolidated in full.

In general, the insurance and energy business has so far not been significantly affected by government measures to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, so rapid and flexible measures, professional solutions, good organization and digitalisation of processes such as Eurohold's management have contributed. believes that they will remain unaffected in the coming periods.

The good performance of the Eurohold Group in 2021 gives confidence that in future periods we can meet possible new waves of Covid-19, but also the new challenges in the region as a result of the events in Ukraine.

In addition, insurance and energy activities are highly regulated and their future development depends to a large extent on the applicable legislation, changes in the regulatory framework and the decisions of the regulatory authorities.

Regarding the developed strategy for the operational activity of the energy companies, Eurohold intends to manage and follow their existing business plans, maintaining the focus and investment program approved by the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC). The investment program is aimed at building a more efficient electricity distribution network, which will lead to a reduction of technical losses in the electricity transmission network, better customer service and potentially lowering the price of electricity for end users.

The focus will be on the development of: products; distribution with attention to online sales channels; and international expansion with a focus on organically growing business in the current regions and expanding into other markets under the Free Services Act.

The development of insurance companies is aimed at sustainability and organic growth of insurers' market positions by developing new products, both in existing insurance classes and in developing new combined insurances in order to diversify the insurance portfolio, meeting the changed expectations of customers and in line with the changed business environment, strengthening the process of exchanging know-how in management, business and corporate practices between companies, as well as focusing on the digitalization of the entire system and online product offering. The activity will be focused on the development of new direct distribution channels with a focus on online channels. In addition, the focus will be on business growth by expanding insurance services distributed under the right of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. Eurohold's insurance business merged into the Euroins Insurance Group subsidiary is well positioned in European markets and has strong growth potential.

Finance

The investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD is expected to continue its sustainable development by expanding its market position and generating revenue growth. The effect of Covid-19 on this segment is negligible.

Euro-Finance is fully digitalizing its activities, updating and modernizing the company's corporate website. Special attention is paid to expanding the presence of Euro-Finance in the Internet space and reaching a wider range of potential customers by promoting the products and services of the investment intermediary.

In 2020, Euro-Finance AD expanded the range of services it offers to its individual and institutional clients, entering into a strategic partnership with Europe's leading asset management company - Amundi Asset Management. Through Euro-Finance AD, investors can subscribe to units and savings plans from a wide range of funds managed by Amundi Asset Management. In order to reach the widest possible range of potential customers and in order to maximize sales, the company's management in 2021 began to negotiate with the so-called. tied agents to start "pilot" offering the funds of Amundi, and subsequently the other services provided by Euro-Finance AD.

Following the motto "Making capital markets more accessible", Euro-Finance AD continues its work on the project for developing a mobile application of the e-commerce platform EFOCS. In 2021 the application is offered in an Android version, and in 2022 it will be available for iOS. The management team of Euro-Finance AD believes that the combination of competitive trading conditions on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) and FWB Xetra and an easy-to-use mobile trading application will help significantly increase the share of the intermediary in servicing individual clients in the field of financial services in the local market.

Cars and Leasing

The trends for the current automotive and leasing businesses depend on the influence of COVID-19 in 2020, and at the moment this influence on their activity is becoming weaker. For 2022, it is expected to have a significantly more limited impact on the activities of these businesses.

At the same time, given the entry into a new sectoral market, namely energy, and the need for significant resources - both human resources for its integration and financial to implement the investment program of the acquired companies, automotive and leasing group are not a priority in the strategy. development of the Eurohold group. This circumstance presupposes that in the presence of a good investor offer it is possible to realize a deal for the sale of a business unit / s of some of these areas. In this regard, the automobile subholding of Eurohold Bulgaria AD - Auto Union AD, sold its subsidiary N Auto Sofia EAD. N Auto Sofia EAD is a major dealer in Bulgaria of the Nissan brand and controls 51% of the capital of Espas Auto OOD, the largest distributor in Bulgaria of Renault and Dacia cars. The company also owns 51% of EA Properties OOD, which owns the terrain and showroom of Nissan, Renault and Dacia in Sofia. The deal was finalized after approval by the Commission for Protection of Competition, and was entered in the Trade Register on 20.08.2021. At a later stage - mid-November 2021, Auto Union AD signed a preliminary contract for the sale of its subsidiary Star Motors EOOD - official importer of MaICa cars for Bulgaria and the Republic of Northern Macedonia. In March 2022, Auto Union also contracted the sale of Daru Car EOOD. The leasing subholding concluded a contract for the sale of a car rental company Eurolease Rent a Car EOOD, a representative of Avis and Budget for Bulgaria.

In addition, in a short period of time it is possible that Eurohold Bulgaria AD will part with other companies in its automotive and leasing business, which will enable it to focus on the insurance and energy business.

No other trends, fluctuations, requirements, commitments or events are known that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the activities and financial position of the Eurohold Group at least for the next financial year in the segments in which it operates.

MAIN RISKS

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 2021.

***

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 year, mainly due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Given the international nature of our business (through subsidiaries), another risk assessed in 2021 is the dynamic development of the macroeconomic environment.

a) NON-SYSTEMATIC RISKS

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.

Risks related to the activity and structure of Eurohold

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", "leasing", "car sales" 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.

Risks related to the development strategy of Eurohold

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.

Risks related to future acquisitions and their integration into the structure

At present, the economic group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD develops its operations mainly in Bulgaria and other European countries through acquisitions of companies and assets. The company expects these acquisitions to continue in the future. The Group intends to implement a strategy for identifying and acquiring businesses, companies and assets with a view to expanding its operations. The risk for the Company consists in the uncertainty as to whether it will be able to identify suitable objects of acquisition and investment opportunities in the future. On the other hand, there is uncertainty about the assessment of the profitability of future acquisitions of assets 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 performance of the economic group as a whole, unforeseen events, as well as difficulties in integrating and optimizing operations and complementary businesses.

Risks related to the management of Eurohold

The risks associated with the management of the Company may be:

  • making wrong decisions for the current investment management and liquidity of the Company and the Group as a whole, both by the senior management and the operational staff of Eurohold;
  • the inability of the management to start the implementation of planned projects or the lack of suitable employees for the specific projects;
  • possible technical errors of the unified management information system;
  • possible errors of the internal control system;
  • leaving key employees and inability to recruit staff with the necessary qualities;
  • risk of excessive increase in management and administration costs, leading to a decrease in the overall profitability of the company.

Risks related to the inability of Eurohold to raise capital to finance its strategic objectives

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.

Risks related to attracting and retaining qualified personnel

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.

Risk of concentration

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.

Risk of lack of liquidity

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 conditions, 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.

Risk of possible transactions between the companies in the group, the conditions of which differ from the market ones

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.

b) SYSTEMATIC RISKS

Macroeconomic risk

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, Romania, Northern Macedonia, Ukraine, Greece, Spain, Italy, Poland, Georgia, Belarus and Russia 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.

Manifested macroeconomic risks in 2021 and as of the date of this Report

We are currently witnessing a macroeconomic risk posed by the scale and spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which has affected the 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, 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. In Bulgaria, however, economic activity and unchanged final consumption of households will contribute to an expected economic growth of about 3.8% in 2021. The labour market also had a favourable development, and unemployment continued to decline, following the trend, reaching 4.8 % in the end of the year. The banking system remained stable, well-capitalized, with high levels of liquidity meeting regulatory requirements.

The European Commission's winter economic forecast for 2022 predicts that after a significant expansion of 5.3% in 2021, the EU economy will grow by 4.0% in 2022 and 2.8% in 2023. In the euro area, growth is also is expected to be 4.0% in 2022, and in 2023 will slow to 2.7%. At the same time, the European Commission's Forecast for Economic Growth in Bulgaria for 2022 has been adjusted downwards compared to the autumn forecast - from 4.1% to 3.7%.

Despite these expectations, the European Commission believes that uncertainty and risks to the economy remain high. The latest wave of Omicron coronavirus, which was active in early 2022, has again led to a slowdown in economic recovery in Europe, accompanied by high inflation, absenteeism and online work, increasing shortages of materials, equipment and labour. Record energy prices have made life even more expensive and reduced Europe's purchasing power, especially in low-income households. In general, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity as a whole has waned over time, including the slowdown in recovery caused by Omicron will not last long, given the slowdown and the lifting of restrictive measures. But possible new outbreaks, anti-epidemic measures and persistent staff shortages could hamper economic recovery. They could also slow down the supply of critical supply chains longer than expected. On the other hand, weaker demand growth in the short term may help to overcome supply difficulties a little earlier than expected.

However, these expectations may develop negatively as a result of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. This conflict began at a time when the world economy, including Bulgaria, was gaining momentum after the peak of the Covid-19 crisis and called into question the current forecasts for economic growth in Europe and Bulgaria in particular. In their macroeconomic forecast, European Central Bank experts say that the prospects for economic activity and inflation in the euro area are becoming very uncertain and depend crucially on the development of the military conflict, the impact of current sanctions and possible further measures. They also forecast real GDP to increase by 3.7% in 2022, 2.8% in 2023 and 1.6% in 2024, revising the growth outlook by 0.5 percentage points. 2022, according to Euro system experts' December 2021 forecasts, mainly due to the impact of the crisis in Ukraine on energy prices, confidence and trade.

The hostilities have received widespread international condemnation, and many countries have imposed sanctions on assets and operations owned by the Russian state and certain individuals. The IMF notes that sanctions imposed on Russia by a number of countries are having an impact on the global economy and financial markets, and will have significant side effects in other countries. With the development of hostilities and sanctions, more and more economists are warning that inflation will not slow in the second half of the year, and economic growth could be twice as low. Account must also be taken of the looming humanitarian crisis that may be brewing in connection with the wave of refugees from Ukraine, with more than 3.5 million people leaving their homeland in just one month. In the current situation and due to concerns about gas supplies, which are mainly from Russia, there is a jump in prices for trade in electricity, fuels and other petroleum products in Bulgaria and Europe, and growth in these prices is expected to remain for a long time. Stock markets also reacted and registered strong volatility under the pressure of fluctuations in fuel and other basic resources markets. In many countries, the crisis has created adverse shocks to both inflation and activity amid rising price pressures. Central banks are closely monitoring the impact of rising international prices on domestic inflation, in order to monitor and, if necessary, take appropriate, carefully assessed responses. Fiscal policy will need to support the most vulnerable households to offset rising living costs.

However, the development of all these expectations depends on the outcome of the war and how long it will last. The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine cannot be assessed at this stage of development, but they are already indicating extremely serious price effects on the overall global economy. They could exacerbate the already strong uncertainty created by Covid-19, further complicating the supply chain due to restrictive and logistical problems and further exacerbating inflationary pressures. If the conflict continues to develop, the economic damage will be significant and is expected to affect all sectors of the economy, both Bulgaria and the EU, including the sectors and regions in which the Eurohold Group operates.

In connection with the above and in view of the uncertainties regarding the effect of the imposed sanctions and restrictions, the Company has reviewed activities, contractors and economic relationships that could be put at risk. As the situation is extremely dynamic, the Company's management is not able to reliably assess the impact of the war on the future financial situation and the results of its activities in 2022 in terms of overall effects on the national economy, energy and food prices, the chain of supplies and other factors, but considers that it may have a negative impact on the company's activities and the sectors in which it operates.

Eurohold Bulgaria owns, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, investments in two insurance companies in Ukraine. Eurohold's management is following the development of the military conflict with concern and is assessing its impact on the Group's business, focusing on assisting and supporting personnel in Ukraine and their families. In the first half of March, Euroins Insurance Group 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 care. Some of the evacuated employees continue to perform their official duties remotely in a hall specially equipped with the necessary equipment.

The holdings in the two Ukrainian companies owned by the Eurohold insurance group are insignificant as their assets amount to BGN 49,195 thousand and represent less than 1.3% of the assets of Eurohold Bulgaria AD and about 2.4% of the assets of Euroins Insurance Group, which in itself does not pose a significant risk at Eurohold level. The companies themselves have stable financial results and capital security. For 2021, their total profit amounts to BGN 4,750,000 (representing 4.48% of the total profit of the EIG), and their total income represents only 3% of all insurance revenues.

Euroins Insurance Group AD has a minority stake in a Russian insurance company, which is not subject to full consolidation, but is reported in the asset using the equity method and amounts to BGN 7,985 million (0.2%) of Eurohold's assets. Bulgaria as of December 31, 2021. The management of Eurohold is assessing the impact of sanctions on its minority stake in the Russian insurance company, and so far, has not identified a significant risk, as the insurer operates only locally.

Euroins Insurance Group AD also has a stake in an insurance company in Belarus, which also has stable financial results and capital, but is insignificant in terms of business size. Its assets account for 0.6% of Eurohold's assets and 1% of EIG's assets. For 2021 the insurer has generated a profit of BGN 0.2 thousand (representing 0.2% of the total profit of EIG), and the total income of the company represents only 0.8% of all insurance revenues.

In general, the current military situation is a non-corrective event, at the same time it is extremely dynamic and the management at this stage cannot make a qualitative and quantitative assessment of its impact on the Group, but actively monitors the situation and is ready to take action. and measures depending on its development and duration. In the presence of an indication of significant impacts caused by hostilities and subsequent macroeconomic shocks that would affect the activities of companies holding Eurohold, they will be analysed and evaluated and disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for 2021.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD seeks to monitor the likelihood of macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that may have the presence of this risk. However, the Issuer cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on business, financial condition, 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.

Risk of force majeure

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).

Risk associated with COVID-19

The outbreak of Covid-19 has had and continues to have a significant impact on global business and the economy in which Eurohold Group companies operate, leaving significant uncertainties in estimating the duration of the spread of new coronavirus variants and its impact. The pandemic has forced governments to take unprecedented levels to protect public health and support local economies and livelihoods. The measures and restrictions taken have created additional challenges, given the rapid pace of change and significant operational requirements.

Vaccine approval and vaccination in 2021 have helped reduce the social and economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, despite the significant difference in the number of people vaccinated in different countries around the world due to lack of vaccine supplies or lack of conviction. in their effectiveness by the population. Bulgaria is one of the countries with a small percentage of people vaccinated.

By the end of 2021, in countries with high levels of vaccination, many of the measures introduced for Covid-19 have been abolished or eased. However, the emergence of the Omicron variant (which is considered lighter but much more contagious) in late 2021 - early 2022 highlighted the continuing threat of new Covid-19 variants and the possibility of the introduction of new restrictions. Future pandemic waves could prolong or exacerbate supply chain disruptions, lead to restrictions on social distancing and international travel, affect the ability to attract and retain staff, and affect the overall economy.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments and regulators around the world have introduced a number of measures to support local people and businesses. Timely fiscal and monetary stimulus to some extent offset the negative effects on the economies caused by the pandemic by reversing the downtrend and putting the world economy back on the path to growth. This state support is expected to start declining in 2022. Central banks are also projected to raise interest rates, but such increases are expected to be introduced gradually. Private sector growth is projected to accelerate, providing a strong market recovery.

Despite the ongoing economic recovery and the positive trend, significant uncertainty remains over the assessment of the duration and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a high degree of uncertainty associated with economic forecasts in the current environment and significant risks still exist. The degree of uncertainty varies depending on the market, the country-specific trends in the pandemic and the related policy responses to the measures taken. There is a risk that possible subsequent outbreaks will lead to a new imposition of government restrictions and economic activity will remain below pre-pandemic levels for a longer period, increasing market inequality.

Maintaining significant incentives for economies globally was a prerequisite for good performance in financial markets in 2021. as most of the world's leading indices rose in double digits.

The operational and business impact of Covid-19

The outbreak of the pandemic in 2020 and its impact on the global economy has affected our customers and our performance. In 2021, Covid-19 continued to influence our customers and the companies in our group, but there was a significant reduction in the severity of its impact, as for the different segments and regions in which we operate, this reduction was different.

In many of our markets, we have initiated market-specific measures to support our individual and business clients and partners in finding solutions to support them and limit the negative effects of the crisis by deferring lease and rent payments and taking other solutions according to specific needs. Throughout 2021, we continued to respond to changing needs and support our customers and partners through market-specific measures taken by the management of subsidiaries at the beginning of the pandemic.

Business continuity and the maintenance of our business operations remained a priority for the group. All offices remained open throughout 2021 as services in offices, branches, showrooms and repair shops were provided without problems and interruptions. At the same time, where necessary, we continued to improve digital capabilities to serve more customers remotely, with faster access and improved security.

Capital and liquidity management is our key focus, which we constantly monitor, both at the group level and at the individual level of each subsidiary and operating company. As a result, we take action to increase capital, transform short-term liabilities into long-term ones, raise borrowed capital through bank loans or issue debt securities.

We have revised our models for impairment of expected credit loss in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" at all levels - country, group, segment, company. As a result, we updated some of our expectations on companies by increasing the expected credit loss on exposures that are part of the full impairment model. In order to provide reliability, the models for impairment of expected credit loss according to IFRS 9 will continue to be reviewed and updated, taking into account the effects of COVID-19 on our businesses until the normalization of economic conditions.

Despite the constant efforts to cope with the unprecedented situation, there are factors that the management of the companies in the group cannot influence. Confirmation of this is some of our businesses that have been severely affected by the epidemiological emergency and have suffered losses. The most affected business in the group since the start of the pandemic was Automotive, which is still unable to restore sales to prepandemic levels, despite high growth in car sales and revenue compared to its 2020 performance.

In 2021, the factors affecting the Group were mainly related to the relatively partial impacts of Covid-19 mainly on the Eurohold Group's automotive business, due to supply chain disruptions, production delays and not fully restored consumer activity. The automotive division is the only one in the Eurohold group that failed to restore sales to pre-pandemic levels, but despite all the company's recorded growth compared to 2020. It should also be borne in mind that three of the companies with the largest contribution to revenue and the profits were sold and have not been part of the Eurohold group since the beginning of August.

The leasing business was less affected as a significantly smaller number of customers wished to use deferred payments under leases. With the resumption of business and tourist travel, the activity of the car rental company offering short-term ("rent a car") and long-term (operating lease) rent was restored.

The investment firm also recorded significant revenue growth, with Covid-19's impact on its business negligible.

For 2021, the Eurohold Group has achieved a record level of revenue and profit since its inception. This is due on the one hand to overcoming the impacts of Covid-19 and recovery to and above the level in all segments and regions in which we operate without the automotive direction. Insurance companies have achieved strong growth from registered new business, even our insurance company in Ukraine, specializing in offering tourism-related insurance, has also fully resumed operations and made a profit.

On the other hand, the acquired energy companies also contributed significantly to the strong performance of the Group in 2021, provided that the results of their activities are partially consolidated only for the period after their acquisition (from 1 August to 31 December). To date, no areas have been identified in the energy companies where the pandemic will have a direct and significant impact and effects, which is why management believes that the energy business is not significantly affected by Covid-19.

Over the years, in parallel with the growth of business and regional expansion, we have built good financial stability in the Eurohold Group, our group performance for 2021 strengthens our expectations, calm and confidence that we will cope and pass successfully through the current crisis. Even in the conditions of Covid-19 we continue not to deviate from our goals, to follow our strategy and to expand our activities even in new business segments for us such as energy.

This was assessed by the investors of Eurohold Bulgaria AD as a public company, as the stock exchange price of the shares traded on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) and Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) not only regained its level before the pandemic, but also achieved significant growth.

The extent of the impact of the coronary crisis on the Eurohold Group depends on many factors, the most significant of which are the measures taken by the governments of the countries in which we operate, as well as our supplier countries (mainly car companies). It also depends on the purchasing power of our customers; these are factors we cannot influence. With the 2021 development strategy of the Eurohold Group, namely to reduce the share of or exit from the automotive and leasing business and focus on insurance and energy, Eurohold's management believes that the future impact of Covid-19 on the group would be negligible.

Although the outlook for the group is significantly more secure than it was at the end of 2020, there is still some uncertainty in a number of key areas. Continued volatility in the pace of economic recovery in the regions in which we operate, possible prolongation of reduced economic activity due to the effects of coronavirus, continued volatility in stock markets, disrupted supply chains and restrictions on movement across Europe may affect capital position and liquidity of the group, which means that the level of uncertainty continues.

The Company's management will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and will review its financial results, assess the risk accordingly and take appropriate flexible actions in the management of the business to limit the impact.

As of the date of this report, Eurohold Bulgaria AD is a stable business structure with preserved stable market positions and preserved operating profitability, able to guarantee good prospects to its shareholders and partners in the conditions of unprecedented health and economic crisis.

Political risk

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 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. This instability is caused by regular and two early parliamentary elections in 2021 to form a government, with the newly formed party, which has formed the most votes, managing to form a coalition government, which is not very stable at this stage. In this regard, it is possible that there will be political and public disagreements about possible legislative changes, and in particular those concerning the economic and investment climate in the country. 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 of the state

Credit risk is the probability that a country's international credit ratings will deteriorate. The country's low credit ratings could lead to higher interest rates, tougher financing conditions for economic entities, including Eurohold.

Credit ratings serve as a basis for measuring and determining a country's credit risk. Bulgaria's latest credit ratings are as follows:

On 22.01.2022, the international rating agency Fitch Ratings confirmed the long-term credit rating of Bulgaria in foreign and local currency 'BBB' with a positive outlook.

The country's rating reflects the balance between a stable external and fiscal position, a sound political framework for EU membership and the long-standing functioning of the currency board arrangement, on the one hand, and relatively weaker potential growth compared to countries with similar ratings due to partly to adverse demographic developments that could aggravate public finances in the long run. Fitch Ratings analysts also report a decline in median governance indicators for countries with similar ratings, as a result of deteriorating government efficiency and control of corruption before 2021.

The positive outlook reflects our country's plans for eurozone membership. According to Fitch Ratings, the short-term negative risks associated with the pandemic have weakened and are offset by the expected significant EU financial resources and commitment to macroeconomic and fiscal stability (further supported by the inclusion of the Bulgarian lev in Monetary Mechanism II).

Fitch Ratings' expectations for Bulgaria's economic growth remain favourable in the coming years, supported by significant EU funds (which in the period 2022-2027 are estimated at 36% of GDP in 2021). Real GDP growth is projected to reach 3.7% in 2022 and accelerate to 4.5% in 2023.

The National Recovery and Sustainability Plan (NAP) is expected to be approved in the coming months, and the first funds will be received by probably mid-2022. Fitch Ratings notes the country's challenge in implementing the Plan effectively, but in any case, estimate that the NAP funds, in combination with other government investment programs, will contribute to increasing the long-term growth prospects and the potential slowdown in population decline.

The agency predicts that average annual inflation will rise to 5.2% in 2022, the highest rate since 2008 driven by higher commodity prices and to a lesser extent due to pressure from domestic demand.

On 30.11.2021 the international rating agency S&P Global Ratings confirmed the long-term and short-term credit rating of Bulgaria in foreign and local currency 'BBB / A-2'. The outlook for the rating remains stable.

According to the rating agency, the economic consequences of the pandemic are manageable, despite the significant health impact. Recovered domestic demand, especially private consumption, and increased absorption of EU funds will raise growth prospects in the medium term. The funds allocated to Bulgaria from the previous and current EU Multiannual Financial Framework, as well as the additional funds under the new instrument "Next Generation EU", which the country will have at its disposal, are estimated at about 40% of expected GDP in 2021.

S&P expects the budget deficit to remain significant in 2021 as a result of pandemic support measures. Although some measures are expected to continue in 2022, the rating agency expects deficits to start narrowing by 2022, noting the prudent fiscal policies pursued by several governments. Despite fiscal easing and rising public debt, the country's net government debt remains low at around 20% of GDP, while government spending has fallen to record lows.

In line with global trends, S&P reports that inflation in Bulgaria has risen in 2021 due to the combined impact of rising food prices, energy, and increased domestic demand, which affects core inflation. The increase in prices should decrease in the second half of 2022.

External risks are manageable after several years of declining net external debt, thanks to a series of current and capital surpluses that the rating agency expects to continue.

The rating agency also reports positively on the inclusion of the Bulgarian lev in the Monetary Mechanism II and Bulgaria's accession to the Banking Union in 2020. Limitations to the rating are GDP per capita, which is moderate compared to world standards. and remaining structural and institutional barriers.

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that Bulgaria's economic recovery will intensify over the next two years, supported by further absorption of EU funds. Although some fiscal support measures will be continued in 2022, the rating agency expects budget deficits to shrink over the next two years, which will keep public debt low. The stable outlook for the rating also reflects expectations that the economy will not be exposed to imbalances in the external or financial sector.

Undertaking a consistent and long-term economic policy in Bulgaria would be a good reason for the potential upgrade of the country's credit rating, which in turn would have a positive impact on the Eurohold Economic Group in terms of financing opportunities for the Group. In the event of a downgrade of Bulgaria's credit rating due to unstable governance of the country, it may have a negative impact on the Group and the cost of financing, unless its loan agreements have fixed interest rates.

Inflation risk

Inflation risk is associated with the likelihood that inflation will affect the real return on investment. The main risks associated with 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 current political crises or rising demand. The limited supply of some agricultural commodities, especially cereals, internationally due to adverse climatic events or force majeure, could further cause higher inflation in the country.

According to NSI data, the consumer price index in February 2022 compared to January 2022 was 101.4%, i.e., monthly inflation is 1.4%. The annual inflation for February 2022 compared to February 2021 is 2.9%, and the average annual inflation for the period March 2021 - February 2022 compared to the period March 2020 - February 2021 is 5.0%. The harmonized index of consumer prices for February 2022 compared to January 2022 is 101.2%, i.e., monthly inflation is 1.2%. The annual inflation for February 2022 compared to February 2021 was 8.4%, and the average annual inflation for the period March 2021 - February 2022 compared to the period March 2020 - February 2021 was 4.2%.

The harmonized index of consumer prices for February 2022 compared to January 2021 is 101.2%, i.e., monthly inflation is 1.2%. Inflation since the beginning of the year (February 2022 compared to December 2021) is 2.4%, and annual inflation for February 2022 compared to February 2021 is 8.4%. The average annual inflation for the period March 2021 - February 2022 compared to the period March 2020 - February 2021 is 4.2%

The price index for the small basket for February 2022 compared to January 2022 is 102.1%, and since the beginning of the year (February 2022 compared to December 2021) is 103.9%.

Inflation may affect the amount of the Company's expenses, as part of the company's liabilities are interestbearing. Their service is related to the current interest rates, which also reflect the levels of inflation in the country. Therefore, maintaining low inflation levels in the country is considered a significant factor in the activities of the Eurohold Group.

At present and in general, the currency board mechanism provides guarantees that inflation in the country

will remain under control and will not adversely affect the country's economy, and in particular the activities of the Company and its group, and hence its ability to service its debt positions.

However, the current geopolitical situation in Europe creates the preconditions for inflation prospects in the euro area to become very uncertain and depend crucially on the development of the military conflict, the impact of current sanctions and possible further measures. Experts predict high inflation rates in 2022

In view of this, the users of this Report should carefully consider and take into account both the current levels of inflation risk and the future opportunities for its manifestation.

Currency risk

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 commitment 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

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.

Risk of high unemployment

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 2021 is 5.3%, respectively 5.5% for men and 5.0% for women. Compared to 2020, the coefficient decreased by 0.8 percentage points. The unemployed are 171.1 thousand, of which 95.5 thousand are men and 75.6 thousand are women. The relative share of the long-term unemployed of all unemployed is 49.5%, and the long-term unemployment rate is 2.6% - 2.7% for men and 2.4% for women, respectively.

Risks associated with changes in regulations. Regulatory risk

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

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.

Some of Eurohold's subsidiaries, in particular leasing and automotive companies, due to the nature of their activities, use significant attracted resources. The lack of resources for their financing can lead to disruption of the rhythm of their activities and to the realization of negative financial results, and this directly affects the group financial condition of Eurohold.

Risk of increased competition

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.

c) RISK MANAGEMENT AND MINIMIZATION MECHANISMS

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:

  • market share, pricing policy, conducting market research and market development research and market share;
  • active management of investments in various sectors and industries;
  • overall policy for the management of the assets and liabilities of the company and the group in order to optimize the structure, quality and return on assets;
  • optimizing the structure of the attracted funds in order to provide liquidity and reduce financial costs in the whole group;
  • effective cash flow management at group level;
  • optimization of costs for administration, management and external services;
  • human resource Management.

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 microand macroeconomic factors can affect the assessment of the company's management team.

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 its usual activity.

However, there have been those of a one-time nature, which have a significant impact on its activities, and the revenues and expenses incurred by it.

The item "Influence of important events on the results of operations" above discloses the effects that occurred in 2021 in connection with numerous operations performed by Eurohold Bulgaria AD in the course of its normal activities and had a significant negative impact on the financial result for 2021 which effects are related to the following one-off costs:

1 / The acquisition of CEZ's energy companies in Bulgaria and the structuring of financing by attracting a number of managers and intermediaries, in connection with which one-time costs for external services were reported, representing consulting, intermediary services and success fees worth BGN 7,756 thousand.

2 / Eurohold Bulgaria AD managed to attract the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as an investor in the insurance subholding by concluding a package deal for the acquisition by the bank of a minority share in the capital of Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG). Apart from that, there was a simultaneous increase and decrease in the capital of the insurance subsidiary (see "Investments in enterprises" above). As a result of these operations, Eurohold reported a loss from operations with investments in the amount of BGN 20,360,000.

3 / After entering the energy market at the end of July 2021, Eurohold is actively working towards the implementation of its investment policy aimed at developing significant assets in the insurance and energy business and exemption from investments in the automotive and leasing business. As a result, the car subholding company Auto Union contracted the sale of its main car companies, which accounted for a significant part of the car group's revenue and profits. Following the annual review for impairment of investments in subsidiaries, the management of Eurohold has estimated based on the analysis of the recoverable / market value to depreciate its investment in Auto Union AD to 97% of the net book value of the investment. As a result, by the end of 2021, an impairment loss was reported for investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 64,772 thousand.

In the same item "Impact of significant events on the results of activities" is presented recalculated from onetime costs "Annual individual statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for 2021."

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 no concluded off-balance sheet transactions.

The Company has provided Guarantees and Guarantees to related parties, and the Company has guaranteed liabilities from related parties (see item 8 / below).

7 / Information on the Company's shareholdings, its main investments in the country and abroad (in securities, financial instruments, intangible assets and real estate), as well as investments in equity securities outside its group of enterprises within the meaning of the Accounting and Sources Act / ways of financing.

Detailed information on the Company's shares and its main investments in the country and abroad is presented in this report in the section "Economic Group".

8 / Information on the loan agreements concluded by the Company, its subsidiary or the parent company, in their capacity as borrowers, indicating the terms of them, including the deadlines for repayment, as well as information on guarantees provided and commitments.

EVENTS AFTER THE DATE IN THE REPORTING PERIOD

At the end of 2019, news about COVID-19 (Coronavirus) first appeared from China, when a limited number of cases of an unknown virus were reported to the World Health Organization. In 2020, the virus spread worldwide and its negative impact gained momentum. On March 11, 2020, after cases of the new coronavirus strain were reported in 114 countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 epidemic a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, at the request of the government, the National Assembly declared a state of emergency in Bulgaria due to the coronavirus, which lasted until 13.05.2020 and was replaced by an emergency epidemic situation until 31.08.2021 and is currently extended until 31.03.2022.

The company takes all necessary measures to preserve the health of employees and minimize the impact of the crisis at this stage of its occurrence. The actions are in accordance with the instructions of the National Operational Headquarters and strictly follow the orders of all national institutions.

Management is closely monitoring the situation and looking for ways to reduce its impact on the Company, but the decline in stock prices on global stock exchanges could affect the fair value of the Company's investments if the negative trend continues.

Eurohold's management is concerned about the development of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and assesses its impact on the Group's business by analysing the impact on both sides of the conflict.

Currently, the current military situation is a non-corrective event, at the same time it is extremely dynamic and the leadership at this stage cannot make a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the impact of the war on the Society, and will be assessed over time depending on its development, as well as from: the effects of the imposed sanctions on the Russian and Belarusian states and the effects of the reverse sanctions that Russia will impose on the states that do not support it. As the situation is extremely dynamic, the Company's management is not able to fully assess all future indirect effects, but the impact may be negative. This, in turn, could lead to a change in the carrying amounts of the Company's assets, which are determined in the separate financial statements when performing a number of judgments and assumptions by management and reporting the most reliable information available at the date of estimates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the shareholders of EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD Sofia, 43, Christopher Columbus Blvd.

Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

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 2021 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 financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2021, 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.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As disclosed in note 15 "investments in subsidiaries" to the separate financial statements, the Company has investments with carrying value of BGN 717 093 thousand as of 31 December 2021 and management has carried out assessment of these. Due to the specific nature of the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD and the group of insurance companies under its management on Bulgarian and foreign markets, as well as due to the specific assumptions and estimates used in the calculation of its recoverable amount in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets", we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the reasonableness of the estimates and judgements on which the valuation is based. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether adjustments are necessary and what is the appropriate amount of these adjustments to the carrying value of BGN 523 815 thousand of the investment in the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD as of 31 December 2021.

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.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to note 2.1 "Basis for preparation of the separate financial report" and note 31 "Events after the end of the reporting period" to the separate financial statements, which disclose the complicated international situation in recent weeks related to the tension between the Republic of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, which led to military hostilities between the countries and imposition of sanctions and restrictions by the European Union, USA, Canada, Great Britain and others in relation to the Russian Federation, the Russian Central Bank, credit institutions and companies, as well as individuals related to the events in Ukraine. In connection with the above and in view of the uncertainties regarding the effect of the imposed sanctions and restrictions, the Company has analysed its relationships with customers, creditors and its investments in Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian companies and disclosed those that could be directly negatively influenced

in the future. However, other investments in subsidiaries, debt and equity instruments and receivables could be indirectly affected by the situation in Ukraine, the long-term effects of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and trends in the Bulgarian economy related to energy prices, inflation, the stock market, the energy market, etc. As the situation is extremely dynamic, the management of the Company is not able to fully assess all future indirect effects, but it is possible that the influence of some of the above factors will be negative. This, in turn, could lead to a change in the carrying amounts of the Company's assets, which are determined in the separate financial statements by using a number of judgments and assumptions by management and taking into account the most reliable information available at the date of estimates. Eurohold Bulgaria AD is in the process of optimizing its investments in companies of the Eurohold Group and taking measures to restructure current loan liabilities maturing in 2022, incl. bonds issued. To date, no negative impacts are expected from the above factors or delays in the measures and actions taken. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

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.

Other Matter

The separate financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 have been audited by another auditor, who expressed a qualified opinion on these statements on 26 April 2021.

Information Other than the Separate Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information consists of the annual individual activity report, incl. the corporate governance statement and the report on compliance with the remuneration policy prepared by management in accordance with the Accounting Act, 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 issues identified in this section. Accordingly, we are unable to conclude whether the other information does not contain material misstatement in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements

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.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

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:

  • − identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, develop and perform audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. The risk of not disclosing material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of material misstatement resulting from error, as fraud may include collusion, falsification, intentional omissions, introductory statements the auditor's misrepresentation, as well as neglect or circumvention of internal control;
  • − obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;
  • − evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
  • − conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the accounting base based on the going concern assumption and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there is material uncertainty about events or conditions that could give rise to significant doubts about the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern. If we conclude that there is material uncertainty, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the disclosures related to this uncertainty in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to operate as a going concern;
  • − evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

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 management report, 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.

Statement Pursuant to Article 37, Paragraph (6) of Bulgarian Accountancy Act

Based on the procedures performed, we describe the outcome of our work:

  • (a) the information in the management report is consistent with the separate financial statements for the same reporting period, on which we have issued qualified opinion in the section "Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements" above;
  • (b) the management report is prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements;
  • (c) as a result of the acquired knowledge and understanding of the Company's activities and the environment in which it operates, we have not identified cases of material misstatement in the individual activity report, except for the possible effect described in " Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon" in "Report on the audit of the separate financial statements";
  • (d) the corporate governance statement for the financial year contains the required information in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, including Article 100m, paragraph (8) of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act;
  • (e) the report on compliance with the remuneration policy has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ordinance pursuant to Article 116c, paragraph 1 of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act and the information in it is consistent with the separate financial statements for the same reporting period.

Statement Pursuant to Article 100m, Paragraph (10) of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act

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.

Statement on Article 100m, paragraph 4, subparagraph (3), item "b" of Public Offering of Securities Act

Related party transactions are disclosed in note 30 to the separate financial statements. Based on the performed audit procedures on related party transactions as part of our audit of separate financial statements as a whole, no facts, circumstances or other information have come to our attention that caused us to conclude that the related party transactions are not disclosed in the accompanying separate financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2021, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures". The results of our audit procedures on related party transactions were taken into consideration for the purposes of issuing an auditor's opinion on the separate financial statements as a whole, not for issuing a separate opinion only on related party transactions.

Statement on Article 100m, paragraph (4), subparagraph 3, item "c" of Public Offering of Securities Act

Our responsibilities for audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, described in our report in section "Responsibilities of the Auditor for the Audit of Separate Financial Statements", include assessment whether the financial statements present fairly the significant transactions and events. Based on the performed audit procedures on the significant transactions, which are fundamental to the separate financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2021, no facts, circumstances or other information have come to our attention that caused us to conclude that there are instances of unfair presentation and disclosure in accordance with the requirements of IFRS, as adopted by the European Union. The results of our audit procedures on the significant transactions and events of the Company, which are material to the separate financial statements, were taken into consideration for the purposes of issuing an auditor's opinion on the separate financial statements as a whole, not for issuing a separate opinion only on the significant transactions.

Reporting on compliance of the electronic format of the separate financial statements included in the annual separate financial report on the activity under Art. 100n, para 4 of Bulgarian Public Offering of Securities Act with the requirements of ESEF Regulation

In addition to our responsibilities and reporting under ISA, described above in the section "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements", we have followed the procedures in accordance with the Guidelines on Issuing of Audit Opinion regarding the Implementation of the European Single Electronic Format ( ESEF) for the financial statements of companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Union (EU)" of Bulgarian Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICPA) in Bulgaria".
