ACTIVITY OF THE SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE PERIOD

1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2019

EUROINS INSURANCE GROUP

In the first quarter of 2019 Euroins Insurance Group (EIG, the Group) has realized consolidated gross written premiums of BGN 205.2 million compared to BGN 149.6 million in same period of 2018. Main reason for the growth of over 37% is the growth of Euroins Bulgaria and Euroins Romania. However, all subsidiaries have registered growth. And there is also the business written by European Travel Insurance, Ukraine, and Euroins Georgia, two companies, which EIG has consolidated for the first time in Q4 2018. The Group has reported an unaudited consolidated profit of BGN 9.9 million before taxation compared to a profit of BGN 5.8 million in 2018, which, as with the gross premiums, is mainly down to Euroins Bulgaria and Euroins Romania but almost all the other companies in the Group has contributed too.

On 4 October 2018 a decision has been voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of Euroins Insurance Group to increase the capital of the Group from BGN 483,445,791 to BGN 543,445,791 by way of issuing 60,000,000 ordinary, registered, materialized, non-privileged shares with nominal and issue value of 1 (one) Bulgarian lev per share, with 1 (one) voting right in the General meeting of the shareholders, with dividend right and liquidation quota. The newly issued shares have been entirely subscribed by the majority shareholder Eurohold Bulgaria AD. The increase has been entered in the Trade Register on 25 October 2018. On 5 October 2008 25% of the nominal value of the newly issued shares, BGN 15,000,000, have been paid in. Further BGN 3,950 thousand have been paid in in 2019.

In 2018 Fitch Ratings confirmed the ratings that were assigned to Eurohold Bulgaria and Euroins Romania in 2017, namely Long-Term Default Rating "B" to Eurohold Bulgaria with Stable outlook and Insurer Financial Strength Rating "BB-" with Stable outlook to Euroins Romania. As part of the same process because Euroins Romania and Euroins Bulgaria were the key components of Eurohold Bulgaria Fitch Ratings assigned also to Euroins Bulgaria Insurer Financial Strength Rating "BB-" with Stable outlook. And in addition, Fitch Rating assigned the same rating to EIG Re reflecting the expected strategic importance of the company as a captive reinsurer within Euroins Insurance Group.

Euroins Bulgaria

In the first three months of 2019 Euroins Bulgaria has reported total GWP of BGN 56.4 million compared to BGN 38.3 million written in the same period of 2018. Reason for this significant growth of more than 47% is the direct insurance business written both locally in Bulgaria and in Greece, Poland, Italy and Spain. The business in Greece has been written according to the EU directive for Freedom of establishment, while in Poland, Italy and Spain it was according to the EU directive for Freedom of services.

All main non-motor lines of business have registered growth: Health (92%), Accident and Travel (63%), Cargo (17%), Liability (16%). Credit and suretyships have more than doubled compared to the three months of 2018. MTPL has grown by more than 41%, Motor Hull – by more than 13%. Rate increases in Bulgaria, increase in the number of clients in Greece and start of the sales in Poland are behind the MTPL growth. Euroins Bulgaria has reported gross premiums of BGN 3.3 million written in Poland for the first months of the year.

Net earned premiums amount to BGN 31.1 million, while net incurred claims reach BGN 8.8 million.

And although there is an increase in the administrative expenses by app. 8% the low level of net claims incurred is the reason for Euroins Bulgaria to report a profit for group purposes of BGN 4.7 million before taxation compared to profit before taxation of BGN 419 thousand in 2018.

The improved financial condition of the company has been also reaffirmed by the updated Long-Term Claims Paying Ability Rating assigned by BCRA, Credit rating Agency, in January 2019. The assigned rating is "BBB-" with Stable long-term outlook.

All the circumstances above would help the management of Euroins Bulgaria to focus on the challenges in 2019, which are the introduction by way of enactment of the bonus malus system on the local MTPL insurance market and the operational start of the branch in Greece, which as of the date of this report is already a fact.

The bonus malus system has been already part of the underwriting policy of Euroins Bulgaria since 2012. But so far, the company has applied it only on drivers that are either current or former clients. With the introduction of the system on the entire market Euroins Bulgaria will be in position to perfect it and apply its conservative underwriting approach to all its clients and thus improve its technical result.

Euroins Romania

In the first three months of 2019 Euroins Romania has written a total GWP of BGN 131.8 million compared to BGN 102.5 million in the same period of 2018. The total growth is mainly due to the growth in MTPL of more than 30%. However, the non-Motor lines of business have also grown significantly: Property (14%), Accident (12%), Cargo (5%).

Net earned premiums grow by app. 7% but this goes also for net claims incurred growing by 13%. It is a result of increase in the number of reported claims. However, at the same time there is also a decrease of the average reported claim. In 2018 the company has invested in a network of loss survey points as well as in a total remodeling of its strategy in the claims handling process aiming to improve the customer service and to guarantee high level of customer satisfaction.

There is decrease of the acquisition ratio reported, while administrative costs have grown compared to 2018.

Euroins Romania has completed Q1 2019 with a profit for group purposes amounting to BGN 4.5 million before taxation compared to a profit of BGN 5.4 million in the same period of 2018. The reason for the profit being lower is mainly the increased net claims incurred.

Euroins Macedonia

In the three months ended 31 March 2019 gross premiums written by Euroins Macedonia grow by app. 38% reaching BGN 6.2 million. Main business lines growing are Cargo by 8% and MTPL by 5%. The company continues to strengthen its position in Agricultural insurance with the written business growing significantly to EUR 1 million. There is a plan to enter the Health insurance market as well with the positive results expected to be seen later during the year.

Net claims incurred have increased by 4% as a result of the business growing but in the same period net earned premiums have grown by 12%.

Because of the ongoing initiatives of the management of the company administrative cost ratio has decreased from 9.2% to 8.4%.

The result from the above is a profit for group purposes of BGN 723 thousand before taxation compared to a profit of BGN 418 thousand in 2018.

Euroins Life

Gross premium income of Euroins Life amounts to BGN 624 thousand registering growth of nearly 68% compared to 2018.

The company reports a profit for group purposes of BGN 393 thousand compared to a loss of BGN 317 in 2018. The main reason is the improvement in the technical result and more precisely in net claims incurred where the loss ratio drops from 44.4% to 28.3%.

Euroins Ukraine

In the first three months of 2019 the company has written gross premiums of BGN 4.2 million registering growth of 9%. App. 42% of the business written has been non-Motor. Apart from the Motor premiums the non-motor business has also grown: Accident by 35% and Liability by more than 20%.

But due to the investments made in the expansion of the distribution network and the increased number of claims as a result of the business growth Euroins Ukraine has reported a loss for group purposes of BGN 834 thousand. The management of the company has already initiated a series of steps as part of a general plan aiming to achieve significant improvement by the end of the first half of 2019 through new processes for claims handling, for prevention of insurance frauds and for risk management.

EIG Re

The previous name of Insurance Company EIG Re EAD has been HDI Insurance AD. Euroins Insurance Group has acquired the company at the end of 2015. Following a decision from October 2016 Euroins - Health Assurance was merged into EIG Re. The procedure has been finalized in 2017.

For the three months of 2019 EIG Re has written gross premiums of BGN 778 thousand registering slight decrease compared to 2018. The profit for group purposes amounts to BGN 12 thousand before taxation.

The strategy of the management of EIG and EIG Re is for the company to continue developing as a reinsurer. The foundations were laid down in 2017 when the first proportional and non-proportional insurance treaties were signed. There were a series of initiatives in 2018 to analyze the potential for the development of EIG Re also as a captive reinsurer optimizing the entire reinsurance program of the Group. One of the starting points of these projects was also a possible participation of EIG Re as captive reinsurer in the optimization of the capital requirements for the Group and its subsidiaries in the light of Solvency Iiл

European Travel Insurance, Ukraine

On 26 February 2018 the Board of Directors of Euroins Insurance Group voted to acquire 99.99998% of the capital of European Travel Insurance, Ukraine (European Travel Insurance, ETI). The sale purchase agreement was signed on 13 April 2018 and the transaction was closed on 1 October 2018.

European Travel Insurance is one of the top Travel insurers in Ukraine and is the only one that specializes only in these insurance products by offering them both to individual and to corporate clients. In its portfolio ETI has tailor made products developed for the company's partners in the banking sector and tourist business such as travel agencies and tour operators. The company relies on innovative products offered via extremely well-developed distribution channels. Results from the planned and already in motion processes to use the potential for synergies and know-how share with the other subsidiaries in the Group are to be seen soon.

In the first three months of 2019 the company has written gross premiums of GWP 3.9 million reporting a profit for group purposes of BGN 520 thousand before taxation.

Euroins Georgia

On 22 March 2018 the Board of Directors of Euroins Insurance Group voted to acquire 50.00002% (50% + 1 share) of the capital of Insurance Company IC Group, Georgia (IC Group) with the sale purchase agreement signed on 22 June 2018. The transaction was closed on 23 October 2018. The investment amounts to BGN 3,814 thousand. On 31 October 2018 the new name of the company was entered into the Georgian Trade Register, JSC Insurance Company Euroins Georgia.

The acquisition of Euroins Georgia is part of the strategy of Euroins Insurance Group for development in a region where markets have huge growth potential. With Georgia this is mainly due to the low insurance market penetration, positive regulatory changes and the expected introduction of compulsory third-party liability insurance both in motor and construction lines of business. The indicators showing expected growth of the Georgian economy of 5% in 2019 and 2020 will contribute additionally to the growth of the Georgian insurance market, where the Group would like to participate.

Insurance Company Euroins Georgia is specialized in Accident and Health. In the first quarter of 2019 these lines of business account for app. 48% of the insurance portfolio of the company, while the rest is split between Motor Hull (19%), MTPL (17%), Property (7%), Cargo (5%), Liability (2%), etc. Total gross premiums written in the quarter amount to BGN 2,016 million. The result for group purposes is a loss of 257 thousand before taxation.

Euroins Russia

Entering the Russian insurance market has always been in line with the development strategy of the Group in Eastern Europe. This market, as most in this region, is typified by low insurance market penetration, which in combination with expected positive regulatory changes and economical growth hints at significant growth potential.

Euroins Russia is an insurer with 15 years of history and experience offering more than 50 insurance products on the market. In Q1 2019 the company has reported gross written premiums of app. BGN 15.5 million. And as continuation of the sound performance from last year the company reports a profit of BGN 484 thousand after taxation.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

1. Systematic risks

Influence of the international environment

Over the last few years, economists from different countries have been united around the thesis that the prosperity of the world economy depends on all the big ones as well as on a growing number of developing and smaller players. Issues of aging populations in all parts of the world, instability in energy and agricultural products prices, unequal distribution of income among members of the population and the risk of systematic global financial fluctuations are central topics for discussion in many international forums. These trends are inextricably linked with the Bulgarian macroeconomic environment and have a constant influence on the results of the local companies and their future development. Another outstanding issue is the excessive exhaustion and neglect of the importance of using limited global resources. Against the backdrop of these facts, economists are united around the thought that ultimately the change in the way in which global business operates will be dictated and imposed by the worsening environment and the reduction of beneficial opportunities for single entrants. The exit from the realization of certain risks related to the international environment will depend to a large extent on the previously established plans and the preventive measures of individual states and international institutions as evidenced by the last global economic crisis. The risk of the impact of the international environment on firms can not be diversified and affects all players, but on the other hand it can become an engine for innovation development and implementation that dramatically changes and increases business efficiency on a global scale.

Macroeconomic risk

The macroeconomic situation and the economic growth in Bulgaria and Europe are of main importance for the development of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD, and this includes also the governmental policies of the respective countries, and in particular the regulations and decisions made by the respective Central Banks, which influence the monetary and interest rate policy, exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation, budget deficit and foreign debt, the unemployment rate and the income structure.

Potential internal risk remains the theoretical liberalization of fiscal policy, which would lead to a serious further increase in the deficit and violation of the currency board principles.

Macroeconomic risks include: The political one; the credit risk of the state; inflation, currency and interest rate risk; emerging market risks and the risks associated with the Bulgarian securities market.

Political risk

The political risk reflects the influence of the political processes in the country on the economic and investment process and in particular on the return on investments. The degree of political risk is determined by the likelihood of changes in the unfavorable direction, of the government led long-term economic policy, which may have a negative impact on investment decisions. Other factors related to this risk are the possible legislative changes concerning the economic and investment climate in the country.

The Republic of Bulgaria is a country with political and institutional stability based on contemporary constitutional principles such as a multiparty parliamentary system, free elections, ethnic tolerance and a clear system of separation of powers. Bulgaria is a member of NATO and since 1 January 2007 is a member of the European Union (EU). The desire for European integration, the presence of a dominant political formation, the pursuit

of strict fiscal discipline and adherence to moderate deficits, create predictability and minimize political risk.

Unemployment

In market economy countries, unemployment is recognized as a social risk on the labor side. As a socially assessed risk, unemployment is subject to compulsory social security and benefits under certain conditions. The overall activity on the formation and implementation of the state policy on unemployment insurance, as well as the promotion and support of the unemployed, when seeking and starting work and / or other type of economic activity, gives the content of the process of management of this social risk.

According to the latest published NSI data, the unemployment rate in the country for the second quarter of 2018 was 5.5% or 0.8 percentage points lower than the second quarter of 2017. The number of people without work equals 182.2 thousand people or is reported a reduction in the number of unemployed by 31.7 thousand people compared to the second quarter of 2017. Over the same period, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.8 percentage points for men and 1.0 percentage points for women. Of the total number of unemployed persons, 109.8 thousand (60.3%) are men 72.4 thousand (39.7%) - women. Of all unemployed persons 13.61% have higher education, 49.1% - with an average, and 37.3% - with basic or lower education. Unemployment rates by grade of education is 2.4% for higher education, 4.8% for secondary education and 20.5% for basic education and lower education.

Credit risk of the country

The credit risk is the possibility for deterioration of the international credit ratings of given country. The low credit ratings of the country might lead to higher interest rates, tougher financing conditions for the economic subjects, including Eurohold and its economic group.

On 01.06.2018, the rating agency Fitch Ratings consolidated the outlook for the credit rating of Bulgaria as stable. The agency raised Bulgaria's long - term credit rating from "BBB-" to "BBB" in foreign and local currency and confirmed BBB + rating ceiling as well as the short-term credit rating in foreign and local currency "F2". The confirmation of the prospect as stable, reflects Fitch Ratings' assessment of the positive development of Bulgaria's external sector. The prolonged period of constant decline of the ratio of external debt to GDP and positive current account trends, have led to a better representation of Bulgaria's external finances compared to the countries of the rating group "BBB". Compared to other countries with a similar rating, Bulgaria's public finance performance indicators positively influence the upgrading of the rating. The State debt to GDP ratio will continue to decline below that of other "BBB" rating countries.

On 01.06.2018, S&P Global Ratings rated the credit rating outlook of Bulgaria as positive. At the same time, the agency has increased both long-term and short-term credit rating in foreign and local currency "BBB- / A-3". The confirmed perspective for Bulgaria's credit rating reflects the expectations of S&P Global Rartings that its fiscal and external indicators will continue to improve and the authorities will take further steps to strengthen the financial sector where the level of non-performing loans remains high. The agency notes that in 2018 the economic recovery of the country will continue with the growing contribution of domestic demand to net exports. Improvements are reflected in the labor market, thus increasing disposable income and private consumption. Public investment funded through European funds will also be an important factor for economic recovery. At the same time, Bulgaria continues to feel structural limitations from demographic challenges. Net emigration, especially in the skilled labor force and the aging population represent challenges to economic policy development and to the opportunities for social cohesion.

Inflation risk

The inflation risk is related to the possibility of inflation influencing the real return of investments. The main risks associated with the inflation forecast refer to the dynamics of international prices and the rate of economic growth in Bulgaria. International commodity prices may increase more significantly as a result of political crises or increased demand. The limited supply of certain agricultural commodities, especially of cereals, internationally, in connection with adverse climatic events, may additionally cause higher inflation in the country.

With the recovery of domestic demand, higher relative consumer prices of services are expected compared to food and non-food goods. According to the Ministry of Finance forecast for macroeconomic indicators by 2020, the growth rate of the economy is expected to slow down gradually and the projected average growth for the period 2017-2020 to amount to 2.0%. Inflation might influence the expenses of the Company, since quite a big portion of the company's liabilities are interest-bearing. Their servicing is related to the current interest rates which reflect the inflation level in the country. That is why keeping low inflation levels in the country is considered as a significant factor for the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD.

At the moment and as a whole, the currency board mechanism provides guarantees that inflation in the country will remain under control and will have no adverse effect on the country's economy, and in particular on the Company's activities.

Given this, every investor should well understand and take into account both the current levels of inflation risk and future opportunities for its manifestation.

Currency risk

This risk is related to the possibility for depreciation of the local currency. Specifically for Bulgaria this is the risk of untimely cancelation of the conditions of the Currency Board at fixed national currency exchange rate. Considering the policy adopted by the government and the Bulgarian National Bank, it is expected for the Currency Board to be maintained until entering of the country in the Eurozone.

Each considerable depreciation of the Bulgarian Lev might have a considerable unfavorable effect on the economic subjects in the country, including the Company. Risk exists also when the income and costs of an entity are formed in different currencies. Exposure of the economic entities operating on the territory of Bulgaria to the US dollar, which is the main currency of a significant part of the world markets for raw materials and products, is particularly pronounced.

Changes in the different exchange rates did not materially affect the Company's operations until controlling interests were acquired in the countries of Romania, Macedonia and Ukraine. The financial results of these companies are denominated in local currency, Romanian leya (RON), Macedonian denarius (MKD) and Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), the exchange rate of which is almost freely determined on the local currency market. Consolidated revenue of Eurohold Bulgaria AD will be exposed to currency risk depending on the movement of these currencies against the Euro.

Interest rate risk

The interest risk is related to the possibility for change in the predominating interest levels in the country. Its influence is related to the possibility for decrease in the net income of the companies as a result of the increased interest rates, at which the Company finances its activity. Interest rate risk is included in the category of macroeconomic risks due to the fact that the main precondition for a change in interest rates is the emergence of instability

in the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed through balanced use of different sources of financial resource. A typical example of the emergence of this risk is the global economic crisis caused by the liquidity problems of large mortgage institutions in the United States and Europe, with the result that interest rate credit risk rewards were rethought and increased globally. The effect of this crisis had a tangible manifestation in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, expressed in limiting free access to borrowed funds.

All other conditions equal, the increase in interests would reflect on the cost of the financial resource used by the Eurohold Bulgaria AD for the realization of different business projects. Moreover, it can influence the amount of expenses of the company, since quite a big portion of the company's liabilities are interest-related and their servicing is related to the current interest rates.

2. Unsystematic risks

Risks related to the activity and structure of Eurohold Bulgaria AD

Eurohold Bulgaria AD is a holding company and an eventual worsening of operating results, financial position and perspectives for development ofits subsidiaries might have a negative effect on the operating results and the financial position of the company.

As far as the activity of the Company is related to the management of the assets of other companies, it cannot be related to a specific sector from the domestic economy and it is exposed to the sectoral risks of the subsidiaries. In general, the companies in the group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD operate in two main sectors: the financial sector, including insurance, leasing, investment intermediation and the car sales sector.

The main risk related to the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is the ability to reduce the sales revenue of the companies in which it participates. It influences the dividends received. In this regard, this might influence the growth of company revenue, as well as the change in profitability.

The greatest risk is concentrated in the insurance sector where the significant part of the group's revenue is generated. The companies with the largest share in the revenues, respectively - in the financial results of the insurance field are the companies operating in the Bulgarian and Romanian market, part of the group of Euroins Insurance Group AD.

The main risk in the leasing business is the ability to provide at an affordable price a sufficient financial means to expand the leasing portfolio and to provide the financing of the rented car rental services (rent-a-car services). The leasing Sub-Holding "Eurolease Group" EAD has issued a bond issue registered for trading on BSE-Sofia AD. The leading company of the leasing sub-holding "Eurolease Auto" EAD has issued bond issues, registered for trading on BSE-Sofia AD.

The Automotive Sub-Holding "Avto Union" AD operates mainly in the sphere of sale of new cars, warranty and after-sales service of cars, sale of spare parts and oils. The activity is directly dependent on the availability of permits and authorizations granted by the respective car manufacturers to the companies of the Auto Union AD group. Termination or revocation of such rights may abruptly reduce sales of the car group. This is particularly relevant in the context of the global restructuring of the automotive industry. The business environment in the automotive industry is also influenced by purely internal factors related to the purchasing power of the population, access to finance, business mood, stock availability and other.

The financial direction of the group is presented by the investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD. The risk in the financial intermediation and asset management sector is related to the high volatility of debt and capital markets, changes in the financial sentiment and investment culture of the population.

Deteriorated results of one or more subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration of the results on a consolidated basis. This in turn, is related to the price of the Company's shares, as the share market price reflects the business potential and the assets of the economic group as a whole.

Risks associated with the company's development strategy

The future profits and economic value of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD depend on the strategy selected by the senior management of the company and its subsidiaries. Selecting an inappropriate strategy might lead to considerable losses.

Eurohold Bulgria AD tries to manage the risk of strategic errors through continuous monitoring of the different stages upon implementation of its marketing strategy and the results thereof. This is extremely important, so that they can react in a timely manner, in case a change in the strategic development plan is needed at a certain stage. Untimely or inappropriate changes to the strategy may also have a significant negative effect on the company's operations, operating results and financial condition.

Risks related to the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD

The risks related to the management of the company are the following:

• making wrong decisions about the current management of investments and the liquidity of the company, both on the part of the senior management and the operating officers of the Company;

  • inability of the management to start the implementation of the projects planned or lack of suitable management for specific projects;
  • possible technical errors in the unified management information system;
  • possible errors in the internal control system;

• key employees leaving the company and inability to employ personnel with the necessary qualities;

• risk of excessive increase in the expenses for management and administration, which leads to a decrease in the total profitability of the company.

Financial risk

The financial risk is the additional uncertainty with regard to the investor in obtaining income, when the company uses borrowed or borrowed funds. This additional financial insecurity adds to the business risk. When part of the funds used for financing of the activity of the company are in the form of loans or debt securities, the repayment of these funds represents a fixed liability. The financial autonomy and financial indebtedness indicators take into account the ratio between own funds and attracted funds in the capital structure of the company. The high level of the financial autonomy ratio, respectively the low level of the financial indebtedness ratio, is a kind of guarantee to investors for the company's ability to pay its long-term liabilities on a regular basis. The indicators show how much of the total capital represents the attracted funds. The larger the share of long-term debt compared to equity, the greater the probability of problems with the payment of fixed obligations. The increase in the value of this indicator also shows an increase in the financial risk. Another set of indicators refers to the revenue stream that makes it possible to pay the Company's liabilities. An indicator that can be used is the coverage ratio of the fixed interest payable (interest). This indicator shows how many times fixed interest payments are included in the value of earnings before interest payments and taxation. It gives a good indication of the company's ability to pay its long-term liabilities. The effect of using

borrowed funds (debt) to increase the final net income attributable to shareholders is called financial leverage. The benefit of financial leverage occurs when the company benefits from the attracted funds more than the costs (interest) on attracting them. The risk indicator in this case is the degree of financial leverage, which is expressed as the ratio of the income before interest and taxes to the income before the payment of taxes, the so called interest rate burden. The acceptable or "normal" degree of financial risk depends on business risk. If there is a small business risk for the firm, it may be expected that investors would agree to take a higher financial risk and vice versa.

Currency risk

As a whole, the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria does not generate currency risk due to the current currency board and the fixing of the national currency to the euro. Currency risk exists for the Group's investments abroad, mainly from the insurance sector in Romania, Macedonia and Ukraine, and a leasing line in Romania and Macedonia.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is related to the possibility that Eurohold Bulgaria AD, is not able to repay its liabilities in the amount agreed and/or within the stipulated deadline. The presence of good financial indicators of profitability and capitalization of a certain company does not guarantee the smooth coverage of current payments. Liquidity risk might occur in case of late customer payments.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD strives to minimize this risk through optimal cash flow management within the group itself. The Group applies an approach which should provide the liquid resource needed to cover the liabilities which have occurred from normal or exceptional conditions, without realizing unacceptable losses or damaging the reputation of the separate companies and the business group as a whole.

The companies are making financial planning to meet the expenses and their current liabilities for a period of thirty days, including the servicing of financial obligations. This financial planning minimizes or totally excludes the potential effect of emerging extraordinary circumstances.

The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD supports the efforts of the subsidiaries in the group to attract bank resources for investments and to use the opportunities that this type of financing provides for the provision of working capital. The volumes of these borrowed funds are maintained at certain levels and are allowed after proof of economic efficiency for each company.

The policy of the Company's management is aimed at raising financial resources from the market in the form of mainly equity securities and debt instruments (bonds) to invest in its subsidiaries by granting them loans to finance their own projects. The raised funds are also used for capital increases of subsidiaries.

Risk of possible realization of transactions between the companies in the Group, whose conditions differ from the market conditions, as well as risk of codependence on the activity of the subsidiaries

The relationships with related parties result from contracts for temporary financial assistance for the subsidiaries and transactions related to the ordinary commercial activity of the subsidiaries.

The risk of possible realization of transactions between the companies in the Group, under conditions which differ from the market conditions, is the risk of achieving low profitability from the provided inter-group financing. Another risk which may be assumed is not obtaining enough revenue from the inter-group commercial transactions, and subsequently

not making good profit for the respective company. On a consolidated level, this might have a negative impact on the profitability of the whole group.

Within the Group are performed transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiaries, as well as between the subsidiaries themselves, which originate from the nature of their main activity. All transactions with related parties are made under conditions which do not differ from the usual market prices and in compliance with IAS 24.

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. One of the main goals of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is to realize significant synergy between its subsidiaries as a consequence of the integration of the three business lines insurance, leasing and car sales. Poor results of one or several subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration in financial results on a consolidated basis. This in turn is also related to the share price of the Company, which may change as a result of the investors' expectations about the company's prospects.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The elements through which the Group manages risks, are directly related to specific procedures for prevention and solving any problems in the operations of EuroHold in due time. These include current analysis in the following directions:

  • Market share, pricing policy and marketing researches for the development of the market and the market share;
  • Active management of investments in different sectors;
  • Comprehensive policy in asset and liabilities management aiming to optimize the structure, quality and return on assets;
  • Optimization of the structure of raised funds aiming to ensure liquidity and decrease of financial expenses for the group;
  • Effective management of cash flows;
  • Administrative expenses optimization, management of hired services;
  • Human resources management.

Upon occurrence of unexpected events, the incorrect evaluation of current market tendencies, as well as many other micro- and macroeconomic factors could impact the judgment of management. The single way to overcome this risk is work with experienced professionals, maintain and update of fully comprehensive database on development and trends in all markets of operation.

The Group has implemented an integrated risk management system based on the Enterprise Risk Management model. The risk management process covers all the Group's organizational levels and is aimed at identifying, analyzing and limiting risks in all areas of the Group's operations. In particular, the Group minimizes insurance risk through proper selection and active monitoring of the insurance portfolio, matching the duration of asset and liabilities as well as minimizing F/X exposure. An effective risk management system allows the Group to maintain stability and a strong financial position despite the ongoing crisis on the global financial markets.

Risk management in the Group aims to:

  • identify potential events that could impact the Group's operations in terms of achieving business objectives and achievement related risks;
  • manage risk so that the risk level complies with the risk appetite specified and accepted by the Group;
  • ensure that the Group's objectives are attained with a lower than expected risk level

2. SUMMARY OF THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICY

2.1 Basis for Preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statement

The interim consolidated financial statements of Eurohold Bulgaria AD are prepared in compliance with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), interpretations of the Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC), interpretations of the IFRS interpretation committee (IFRIC), which are effectively in force and are adopted by the Commission of the European Union.

The Group has considered all standards and interpretations applicable to its activity as at the date of preparation of the present financial statement.

The inteirm consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle, except for investment properties and those financial instruments and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value.

2.2 New Standards, Explanations and Amendments in effect since January 1, 2019

IFRS 16 Leasing (issued on January 13, 2016), effective January 1, 2019, adopted by the EU on 31 October 2017, published in the OJ on 9 November 2017.

IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of the lease and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17 Leases. On the commencement date of the lease, the lessee will recognize an obligation to make lease payments (ie, a lease liability) and an asset - entitlement to use the underlying asset over the lease term (ie, the right to use the asset). Lessees will have to recognize separately the interest expense on the lease obligation and the depreciation cost of the right to use the asset. Similarly, lessees will be required to re-determine the value of the lease liability at the occurrence of certain events (eg, change in the lease term, change in future lease payments as a result of an index change or percentage used to determine such payments). In principle, the lessee will recognize the amount of the revaluation of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right to use the asset.

Essentially, accounting under IFRS 16 for lessors will not change significantly from current accounting in accordance with IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases by applying the same classification principle as IAS 17 and distinguishing between two types of lease: operational and financial.

In addition, IFRS 16 requires lessees and lessors to make more detailed disclosures than IAS 17.

Transition to IFRS 16

The Group plans to adopt IFRS 16 by applying a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of applying it being recognized on the date of initial application in the opening balance of the capital and no comparative information is restated. The Group will choose to apply the Standard to contracts that were previously identified as a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the Group will not apply the Standard to contracts that were previously not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

The Group will choose to use the exceptions proposed by the Standard for Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months and Leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

The management of the Group is in the process of evaluating the effect of the application of the Standard but can not yet provide quantitative information.

2.3 Comparative data

The Group retains the presentation of the information in the financial statements during the periods. Where necessary, comparative information is reclassified to reflect the changes occurring in the current year.

2.4 Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include a interim consolidated statement of financial position, an interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, an interim consolidated cash flow statement and an interim consolidated statement of changes in equity as of 31 March 2019. These statements include the Parent Company and all subsidiaries. A subsidiary is consolidated by the Parent Company by holding, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting shares of the capital or by the ability to manage its financial and operating policies in order to obtain economic benefits from its activities.

The full consolidation method is applied. Reports are aggregated in order, with items such as assets, liabilities, property, income and expense aggregated. All domestic transactions and balances between the group companies are eliminated. There is elimination of counter-elements: capital, financial, trade, goodwill on the acquisition date.

The non-controlling interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries is determined by the shareholder structure of the subsidiaries at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

For business combinations covering enterprises or businesses under common control, the Group has opted to apply the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The Group has made an accounting policy choice regarding these transactions as they are currently outside the scope of IFRS 3 and do not contain guidance for them in existing IFRSs. According to IAS 8, in the absence of a standard or explanation that is specifically applicable to an operation, other event or condition, management uses its own judgment to develop and apply accounting policies.

Principles of consolidation

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. This method requires the acquirer to recognize, separately from goodwill, acquired acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and participation that does not constitute control in the acquiree. Costs that are not directly related to the acquisition are attributable to profit or loss for the period.

The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date regardless of the extent of the non-controlling interest. The Group has the ability to measure participations that do not represent control of the acquiree either at fair value or as a pro rata share in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the acquirer's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree is recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is lower than the investor's interest in the fair values of the net assets of the company, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.

Self-recognized goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains or losses on disposal (disposal) of a subsidiary of the Group also include the carrying amount of the goodwill, the deductible for the (released) company.

Each recognized goodwill is identified as belonging to an object generating cash proceeds when a business combination is realized, and this object is applied when carrying out the impairment tests. In determining the cash-generating entities, the entities that were expected to benefit from future business combinations in the business combination and for which the goodwill itself arose.

Transactions with non-controlling interest

Non-controlling operations are treated by the Group as transactions with entities owning the equity instruments of the Group. The effects of the sale of units of the Parent Company without loss of control to non-controlling interests are not treated as components of the Group's current profit or loss but as movements in the components of its equity. Conversely, in the case of purchases by the Parent Company of non-controlling interests of any non-controlling interests, any difference between the amount paid and the corresponding share of the net book value of the subsidiary's net assets is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. changes in equity, usually to the "unallocated profit / (uncovered loss)" line.

When the Group ceases to have control and significant influence, any remaining minority investment as a share in the capital of the company concerned is remeasured at fair value, the difference to carrying amount being recognized in current profit or loss, respectively all amounts previously recognized in other components of comprehensive income are accounted for, as in the case of a direct exemption operation, of all those associated with the initial investment (in the subsidiary or associate).

2.5 Functional and reporting currency

The functional and reporting currency of the Group is the Bulgarian Lev. The data in the consolidated report and its annexes are presented in thousands of BGN. From 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian lev has a fixed exchange rate to the euro: BGN 1,95583 for 1 euro. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are reported in BGN on the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are revalued on an annual basis using the official exchange rate of the BNB on the last working day of the year.

2.6 Accounting assumptions and approximate accounting estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS adopted by the EU requires the Group's management to apply approximate accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Although the assessments are based on the knowledge of the current events management, the actual results may differ from the accounting estimates used.

Significant judgments

Deferred tax assets

Tax loss

The assessment of the probability of future taxable income for the use of deferred tax assets is based on the last approved estimate, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expense, and specific restrictions on the transfer of unused tax losses or loans. If a reliable estimate of taxable income implies the probable use of a deferred tax asset, particularly in cases where the asset can be used without a time limit, the deferred tax asset is recognized as a whole. Recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic constraints or uncertainties is judged by the management on a case-by-case basis based on the specific facts and circumstances.

Revenue from contracts with customers

When recognizing revenue under contracts with customers, the management makes various judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported revenue, expense, assets and liabilities under contracts. Additional information is disclosed in Note 2.7 Revenues

Uncertainty of accounting estimates

Evaluation of the pending payment reserve

The Reserve for Outstanding Payments includes RBNS claims as at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as unrecognized claims (IBNRs).

Liabilities on claimed but unpaid claims are individually assessed for each claim based on the best estimate of expected cash outflows for them.

The assessment of the liabilities for the IBNR is based on the assumption that the Group's experience in the development of claims from past years can be used to predict the future development of claims and their ultimate obligations. The development of claims is analyzed by year of event. Additional qualitative judgment is made to assess the extent to which past trends may not be applicable in the future.

The nature of the business makes it difficult to accurately determine the likely outcome of a particular damage and the overall amount of damage sustained. Any damage claimed is individually reviewed due to the circumstances, the information provided by damage experts and the historical data on the amount of such damage. Estimates of damage are reviewed and updated regularly with new information available. Reserves are based on the current available information.

The final amount of liabilities, however, may differ as a result of subsequent events and catastrophic cases. The impact of many circumstances that determine the final cost of settling the damage is difficult to predict. Difficulties in assessing reserves vary from one business class to another, depending on the insurance contracts, the complexity, the volume and the significance of the damage, the date of occurrence of the damage and the delay in making the claim.

The reserve for incurred but unproven damages is calculated on the basis of statistical and actuarial methods. The key method used or a combination of methods depends on the business class and the observed historical level of the loss ratio. The biggest share in this reserve is Motor Third Party Liability (civil liability of a motor vehicle).

The actuarial method used to determine technical provisions since 2016 is in line with generally accepted actuarial practices and a unified approach to assessing the provision for unsecured and unannounced civil liability insurance claims for all companies in the Group. The methodology is based on the Chain-Pillar method, which is based on the number of damages claimed for a period of not less than 3 years. The amount of the provision for unforeseen damage has been calculated on the basis of the expected number of claims and the average amount of damage.

The number of damages expected to be delayed is calculated on the Chain-Pillar Method based on the actuarial triangles Claims Damages - Paid Damages and the Pending Payout Reserve at the Date of the Consolidated Financial Statement.

Claims on recourse claims

Claims on recourse claims by insurance companies and other individuals (physically and legally) are recognized as an asset and income when recourse is made to the extent that future economic benefits to the Group are expected. Receivables are reviewed on an individual basis on recognition and subsequently on any impairment indications.

The Group has the practice of settling claims on regressions from insurance companies by offsetting its claims on recourse claims.

Share of reinsurers in technical provisions

The insurance companies of the Group are a party to quota reinsurance contracts that provide for the transfer of a share in the existing technical reserves upon the entry into force of the contract. IFRS does not provide for specific reporting requirements for such contracts. Due to the specific nature of this type of contract, the Group has made an analysis of the degree of risk transfer to the reinsurer and the results show that there is such a transfer, contracts meet the objective criteria for reinsurance. For the analysis, a commonly agreed stochastic model was used and the accepted reinsurer risk limit of 1%.

The Group has adopted an accounting policy for accounting for reinsurance contracts that at the date of entry into force of the contract, the Group recognizes the reinsurers share of the technical provisions as an asset and the corresponding change in the reinsurer's share of the technical provisions in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income; other comprehensive income, and the liabilities to reinsurers under these contracts are recorded in the subsequent periods of the contracts.

During the term of the contracts in subsequent periods, the Group will remit to the reinsurers the respective percentage of premiums and damages on motor vehicle insurance. Upon termination or termination of reinsurance contracts, the reinsurers' share of the technical provisions will be released or transferred to another reinsurer. The terms of these contracts are indefinite and, by their nature, the contracts are indefinite. Due to the conventions relating to the future development of the contracts and their cash flows, the management of the Group considers that the adopted accounting policy is appropriate.

Inventories - Impairment

At the end of the reporting period, the management reviews the available inventories - materials, commodities to determine whether there are those with a net realizable value below their carrying amount. During this review as of 31.3.2019 there were no indications for impairment of inventories.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with IAS 36, at the end of the reporting period, an estimate is made as to whether there is any indication that the value of an asset in property, plant and equipment is impaired. In the case of such indications, the recoverable amount of the asset is calculated and the impairment loss is determined. As of 31.3.2019 there is no impairment of property, plant and equipment.

Actuarial assessments

In determining the present value of long-term employee retirement liabilities, calculations of certified actuaries based on mortality assumptions, staff turnover rates, future salary levels, and discount factors have been used, which assumptions have been judged by management to be reasonable and relevant for the Group.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group performs an impairment test of goodwill at least once a year. The recoverable amounts of the units that generate cash are determined on the basis of the value in use or the fair value, net of the cost of the sale. These calculations require the use of estimates as described in Note 34.

Impairment of cash, loans and receivables, and net investment in finance leases

Net investment in finance leases

In determining the impairment of finance lease receivables, the Group is based on a three-tier approach that seeks to reflect the deterioration in the credit quality of the financial instrument. At each reporting date after the initial recognition, the Group assesses to what extent the financial asset that is the subject of the impairment test is at which stage. The stage defines the relevant impairment requirements. The Group uses a 5-point credit rating system for each transaction, with the criteria of the system being used to consider both the lease asset, transaction parameters (initial installment, term, residual value) and the financial status of the individual client.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group categorizes the banks in which it holds cash on the basis of their rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch, S & P, BCRA) and, depending on it, applies a different percentage for the expected credit losses for 12 months.

Loans receivables

The Group has loan receivables that are categorized depending on whether the borrower has a rating, and whether or not the receivables from such loans are overdue.

Litigation and claims

The Group's court and assignment receivables are categorized in Group 3, respectively as such, they are individually reviewed by the management and each such receivable is assigned an individual impairment.

Fair value of financial instruments

The management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments in the absence of quoted prices in an active market. Details of the assumptions used are presented in the notes on financial assets and liabilities. In applying valuation techniques, management uses the market data and assumptions that market participants would use when evaluating a financial instrument. When no applicable market data is available, management uses its best estimate 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.

2.7 Revenues

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control of the goods or services is transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the remuneration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Group recognizes revenue when (or is) satisfied the obligation to perform, under the terms of the contract, by transferring the promised product or service to the client. An asset (product or service) is transferred when (or as) a customer has control over that asset.

Clients' contracts typically include a single performance obligation: •Sales of cars (spare parts); •Car Services.

Sales are made under contracts with clients. Sales contracts with customers meet the criteria set out in IFRS 15. Typically, the Group expects to collect the remuneration for contracts with clients.

that all sales of extended

IFRS 15 does not have a material effect on the Group's accounting policies with respect to the other types of income it recognizes.

The transaction price is the amount of the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the customer's transfer of the promised goods or services, except for amounts collected on behalf of third parties (eg value added tax). The consideration promised in the contract with the client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

The Group examines whether there are other promises in client contracts that are separate performance obligations for which part of the transaction price should be allocated.

When determining the transaction price, account is taken of the impact of variable remuneration, including price discounts, the existence of significant components of funding, non-monetary remuneration and remuneration payable to the client (if any).

In the contracts of the Group companies there are discounts that the client receives at the sale and which are reported as a reduction of the total price. In accordance with the requirement of IFRS 15, all discounts are reported as a reduction in sales revenue, at the same time as recognizing the sale proceeds of the goods for which the respective discounts are due. The policy of recognition of due price discounts applied so far does not differ from the requirements of IFRS 15.

The Group has reviewed its accounting policies and has assessed the areas in which there are changes from the application of IFRS 15.

Free goods

For a large number of contracts, the Group provides free of charge to its customers free of charge (in the form of accessories, tires, alarms, etc.).

The provision of additional goods (in the form of an alarm, tires or accessories) is a separate obligation to perform.

In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group recognizes these free goods as variable remuneration, thereby reducing the fixed price of the products on the price list if they are provided additionally and free of charge.

Sales with redemption capability

Revenue is recognized when the vehicle is sold, but the estimate of the redemption option is deducted from revenue and recognized as deferred income, as well as a liability to the customer for redemption. Similarly, the estimate of the value of the vehicle to be returned is reduced by the cost of the sale and is also deferred.

The group has estimated that in Q1 2019, no contractual obligations in relation to a redemption option.

Approach for recognizing major types of revenue under customer contracts

Revenue from sale is realized by the following:

➢car sales; ➢car leasing; ➢services, repair services; ➢sales of spare parts.

Revenue from car sales

Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized by the method of meeting the obligations at a specific time in accordance with IFRS 15 when the control of the good is transferred to the customer.

This is usually the case with the passing of the cars and the physical knowledge to them by the customer and the buyer has accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract.

For most contracts, there is a fixed unit price for each contract, taking into account the discounts provided to the client. The group is able to determine the distribution of the total contract price (delivery, order) for each site based on the scope of the goods / services under the contract that form the performance obligations.

The distribution of the transaction price to the performance obligations is based on unit sales prices (contractual or market).

Revenue from services

Revenue from provision of services is recognized in the period in which the services are provided. The group transfers control over the service over time and therefore satisfies the obligation to execute and recognizes revenue over time. If, by the end of the reporting period, the service contract has not been fully implemented, revenue is recognized using the inputs method based on actual time spent on work, over the total expected service delivery time.

In cases where the services provided by the Group exceed the payment, an asset is recognized under the contract. If payments exceed the services provided, a liability under a contract is recognized.

Revenue from sales of current assets

Revenues from sales of short-term assets and material are recognized when the control of the assets sold is transferred. Delivery occurs when the assets have been shipped to the customer, the risks of potential losses are transferred to the buyer and / or he has accepted the assets in accordance with the sale contract.

Principal or agent

The group is the principal when controlling the promised product or service before transferring it to the customer. The Group is an agent if the Group's obligation to perform is to arrange the delivery of the goods or services from a third party.

The signs that it is the principal includes:

➢The Group has the primary responsibility for implementing the promise to provide a particular good or service;

  • ➢There is a risk to the Group's inventory before the specific good or service is transferred to the customer or after the transfer of the client's control;
  • ➢The Group has discretion in determining the price of the particular good or service.

Transactions where it is the principal

The Group is the principal in the following transactions:

  • ➢Sales of cars;
  • ➢Sales of spare parts;
  • ➢Additional Services;
  • ➢Sales of oils.

The Group is an agent for the following transactions:

  • ➢Sales of extended guarantees;
  • ➢Sale of fuel with cards;
  • ➢Extended warranty repair services.

The Group has established that it is an agent in the sale of extended warranties and in the sale of fuels through cards. The Group accepts that all repairs carried out should be accounted for at the expense of the manufacturer / insurer party to the contracts for these guarantees.

Extended warranties

In the case of car sales, an extended warranty can be purchased, which can be purchased separately.

The extended guarantees are a separate performance obligation, which should be deferred if the Group is the principal. If the extended guarantees are issued by the manufacturer, the Group is an agent and should account for the revenue from these sales as an agent on a net basis.

The group has found to be an agent and has changed its way of reporting on extended guarantees.

Other revenues/income

Other income includes operations that are incidental to the Group's core activities and are income or income that are recognized under other standards and are outside the scope of IFRS 15.

Interest income

Interest income is accounted for using the effective interest method, which is the percentage that accurately discounts the expected future cash payments for the expected term of the financial instrument or for a shorter period, where appropriate, to the carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in the financial income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Dividend income shall be recognized when the right to receive them is established. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the dividends declared for the financial year by the subsidiaries are recognized as internal estimates and eliminated and therefore do not participate in the formation of the financial result.

The financial revenue generated by Eurohold Group generated stems from:

  • investment operations;
  • positive differences from operations with financial instruments and currency exchange operations;
  • fee and commission income;
  • dividends;
  • interest on loans granted.

2.8 Expenses

Expenses in the Group are recognized at the time they are incurred and based on the principles of accrual and comparability.

Administrative expenses are recognized as expenses incurred during the year that are related to the management and administration of the Group companies, including expenses related to administrative staff, management staff, office and other external services.

Financial costs include: costs arising from investment operations, negative financial operations and currency exchange rate differences, interest expense on bank and commercial loans and debt securities, and charges for fees and commissions.

Prepayments (deferred expenses) are deferred for recognition as current expense over the period in which the contracts to which they relate are met.

Other operating income and expenses include items of a minor nature in respect of the core business of the Group companies.

2.9 Interests

Interest income and expense are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts the expected future cash payments and proceeds over the life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the asset or liability. The effective interest rate is determined at the initial recognition of the financial asset or liability and is not subsequently adjusted.

The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all commissions received or paid, transaction costs, as well as discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Transaction costs are intrinsic costs directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or liability.

Interest income and expense presented in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes: Interest recognized on an effective interest rate basis on financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Unprofitable financial income represents the difference between the gross and net investment in the lease, the gross investment in the lease being the amount of the minimum lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor. Interest income from lease transactions (financial income) is allocated over the term of the lease and is recognized on a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment.

2.10 Fees and commissions

Fees and commissions income and expense that 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 fee and commission income, including fees for logistics services, insurance and other intermediation, are recognized through the performance of the related services.

Other charges for fees and commissions related mainly to banking services are recognized on receipt of the related services.

2.11 Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in revenue-generating activities and costs, including income and expense, that relate to transactions with each other of the Group's other components.

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on the products and services they provide and includes the following reportable segments:

Insurance:

•Insurance Services

Financial services:

  • •Lease services
  • •Investment intermediation
  • Car sales: •Sale of new cars •Auto services

•Rental services

2.11.1 Insurance business

Recognition and measurement of insurance contracts

Non-life insurance premiums

Non-life insurance premiums are booked on an annual basis.

Gross gross premiums written for non-life insurance are the premiums under the direct insurance or coinsurance contracts that were concluded during the year, although the premiums may be wholly or partly related to a later accounting period. Premiums are reported gross of commissions paid by intermediaries.

The portion of the insurance premiums written, including unexpired insurance contracts, is recognized as income. Subscribed insurance premiums are recognized at the date of the insurance contract.

Premiums paid to reinsurers are recognized as an expense in accordance with reinsurance services received.

Health insurance premiums

Subscribed health insurance premiums are recognized as income on the basis of the annual premium payable by insured persons for the premium period beginning in the financial year or the one-time premium payable for the entire coverage period for annual health insurance contracts concluded during the financial year.

Gross written health insurance premiums are not recognized when future cash receipts are not certain. The recorded health insurance premiums are shown gross of commissions due to agents.

Life insurance premiums

Subscribed life insurance premiums are recognized as income on the basis of the annual premium payable by the insured persons for the premium period commencing in the financial year or the one-time premium payable over the entire policy coverage period concluded during the financial year.

Gross written premiums are not recognized when future cash receipts are uncertain. Subscribed premiums are shown gross of commissions due to agents.

The unearned premium reserve

The carry-over reserve consists of the portion of gross written insurance / health insurance premiums that is calculated to be earned in the next or further financial periods. The carry-over provision includes accrued and recognized insurance premiums during the reporting period less the premiums written to reinsurers that are to be recognized in the next financial year or subsequent financial periods. The reserve is calculated separately for each insurance / health insurance contract using a proportional daily basis method. The carryover provision is calculated as net of commission to intermediaries, advertising and other acquisition costs.

Reserve for unexpired risks

The reserve is formed to cover risks for the time between the end of the reporting period and the expiry date of the relevant insurance / health insurance contract in order to cover the payments and expenses expected to exceed the prepaid reserve.

Compensations arising from general insurance and health insurance and pending damages

Compensations incurred in respect of non-life insurance and health insurance include benefits and processing costs payable during the financial year together with the amendment to the pending loss reserve.

Management is of the opinion that the gross prudential reserve and the relevant share of the reinsurers' reserves are fairly presented on the basis of the information available to them at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the final obligation will change as a result of subsequent information and events and may require material adjustment of the amount initially charged. Corrections to the pending loss reserve established in previous years are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period in which the adjustments are made and disclosed separately if they are material. The methods to be used and the estimates to be made when calculating the reserve are reviewed on a regular basis.

Reinsurance

In its normal course of business, the insurance companies in the Group assign a risk to reinsurers in order to reduce their potential net losses through risk diversification. Reinsurance does not cancel the direct liability of the company concerned to the insured.

Reinsurance assets include the balances due from reinsurance companies for ceded insurance liabilities. Recovery values from reinsurers are valued in a similar way as for outstanding claims reserves or terminated claims related to reinsured policies.

Premiums and losses relating to these reinsurance contracts are treated as income and expense in the same way as would be considered if reinsurance was a direct business, taking into account the classification of reinsurance business products.

Coupled (or accepted) premiums and reimbursed benefits (or paid damages) are reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of financial position as gross amounts.

Contracts where substantial insurance risk is transferred are accounted for as insurance contracts. Recoverable amounts are recognized in the same year as the corresponding loss.

Premiums on long-term reinsurance contracts are accounted for in parallel with the period of validity of related insurance policies, using similar assumptions as those for accounting for the relevant policies.

The recoverable amount of receivables under reinsurance contracts is reviewed for impairment at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Such assets are valued if objective evidence exists as a result of an event occurring after its initial recognition.

Deferred acquisition costs

Deferred acquisition costs represent the amount of the acquisition cost deducted in the calculation of the carry-over provision reserve. They are defined as the portion of the acquisition cost under the end-of-period contracts as a percentage of the insurance technical plan and relating to the time between the end of the reporting period and the expiry date of the insurance / health insurance contract. Current acquisition costs are recognized as an expense during the reporting period.

Acquisition costs

Costs of commissions include accrued commissions to intermediaries, costs of participating in the result that are charged to the insured / health insured persons at a low loss rate. Indirect acquisition costs include advertising costs and costs arising from the conclusion or renewal of insurance / health insurance contracts.

2.11.2 Leasing activity

The leasing activity of the Group is related to leasing of transport equipment, industrial equipment, real estate, etc., under contracts for financial and operational leasing.

A finance lease contract is an arrangement under which the lessor grants the lessee the right to use a particular asset for an agreed term for remuneration. Leases are accounted for as finance when the lessor transfers to the lessee all significant risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset.

Typical indicators that the Group considers to determine whether all material risks and rewards are transferred include: the present value of the minimum lease payments as compared to the beginning of the lease; the term of the lease relative to the economic life of the leased asset; and whether the lessee will acquire ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. All other leasing contracts that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases.

Minimum lease payments

Minimum lease payments are those payments that the lessee will make or may be required to make during the lease term. From the point of view of the Group, the minimum lease payments also include the residual value of the asset guaranteed by a third party not party to the Group, provided that that party is financially capable of meeting its commitment under the guarantee or redemption agreement. In the minimum lease payments, the Group also includes the cost of exercising any option that the lessee holds to purchase the asset, and at the beginning of the lease it is highly certain that the option will be exercised.

Minimum lease payments do not include contingent rentals, as well as service and tax charges that are paid by the Group and subsequently re-invoiced to the lessee.

Beginning of the lease contract and beginning of the lease term

A distinction is made between the start of the lease and the commencement of the lease term. Start of the lease is the earlier of the two dates - the lease agreement or the engagement of the parties to the basic terms of the lease. At that date: the lease is classified as a finance or operating lease; and in the case of a finance lease, the amounts to be recognized at the start of the lease term are determined. The start of the lease term is the date from which the lessee can exercise the right to use the leased asset. This is also the date on which the Group initially recognized the lease receivable.

Initial and post evaluation

Initially, the Group recognizes a lease receivable equal to its net investment that includes the present value of the minimum lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value for the Group. The present value is calculated by discounting the minimum lease payments payable with the interest rate inherent in the lease.

Initial direct costs are included in the calculation of the finance lease receivable. During the term of the lease, the Group charges financial income (interest income under finance leases) to the net investment.

Receivables under finance leases

Lease payments received are treated as a reduction in the net investment (repayment of principal) and recognition of financial income in a way that ensures a constant rate of return on the net investment. Subsequently, net investment in finance lease contracts is net, net of individual and portfolio provisions for uncollectability.

2.11.3 Financial intermediation activity

Financial Intermediation is related to transactions with financial instruments. They are classified as financial assets as part of an investment portfolio or as part of a trading portfolio.

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted for transaction costs that are reported as current expenses.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets for which a business model "held for contractual cash flows" or a business model "held for collection and sale" is not applicable, as well as financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not only principal and interest payments are reported at fair value through profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments are reported in this category except for those that are designated and effective as hedging instruments and for which 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 using either quoted market prices or using valuation techniques in the absence of an active market. This category classifies the securities from the trading portfolio and the equity instruments of the investment portfolio of the firm.

According to the Risk Management Rules of EURO-FINANCE AD, subsequent valuation of financial instruments from the trading book is made on a daily basis, at easily accessible closing prices from an independent source such as stock prices or prices from market information systems, quotes from independent brokers with good reputation. In the market valuation, the more conservative of the Buy and Sell rates is used unless EURO-FINANCE AD is significant to the market participant for the respective financial instrument and can close its position at an average market price.

When market valuation is not possible, the company uses a model to evaluate its positions and portfolios.

A subsequent valuation of its assets in the trading book under the following procedures:

/ 1 / For Bulgarian and foreign shares and rights admitted to trading on a regulated securities market in the Republic of Bulgaria as well as Bulgarian shares and rights admitted for trading on a regulated market in Member States:

a/ at the last price of a transaction concluded with them, announced in the stock exchange bulletin, if the volume of the transactions concluded with them for the day is not less than 0.02 per cent of the volume of the respective issue or reaches the estimated volume.

b/ if a price can not be determined under (a) - the arithmetic mean of the highest bid price or short selling respectively of the orders that are valid at the time of closing the regulated market on the estimated day , and the last price of a transaction concluded with the relevant securities for the same day.

c/ in the event that for the valuation day there are no deals with securities of the respective issue, the average of the highest bid or short selling offer respectively, valid at the moment of closing the regulated market for the assessed day, and the weighted average price of the last prices of the transactions concluded with the relevant securities and the traded volumes within the last 30-day period.

d/ If it is not possible to apply the valuation methods in a-c as well as for the non-traded shares, the post evaluation shall be based on the net book value of the assets.

/ 2 / For units of collective investment undertakings not traded on a regulated market, including in cases of temporary suspension of redemption:

a/ at the last announced redemption price.

b/ at the last designated and announced issue value per unit, less the amount of the unit-redemption and redemption costs provided for under the fund rules, in cases where the collective investment scheme has not reached the minimum amount of the net asset value.

/3/ for derivative financial instruments - in the order indicated in / 1 /, and in case of impossibility to apply this method of valuation - by an appropriate model for valuation of derivative financial instruments.

/4/ for Bulgarian and foreign bonds, as well as government securities issued pursuant to BNB Ordinance No. 5 - by the method of discounted future net cash flows with a discount factor consisting of a risk-free rate and a risk premium.

/5/ for foreign securities admitted for trading on internationally recognized and liquid regulated securities markets abroad:

a) at the last price of a transaction concluded with them on the relevant market on the day of valuation;

b) if it is not possible to apply the valuation method under "a", the valuation shall be made at the "buy" or "sell" price, upon closing of the market on the day of the valuation announced in the electronic securities price information system;

c) if it is impossible to apply the assessment method under letter b) the valuation shall be made at the last price of a transaction concluded with them within the last 30-day period;

/6/ In cases where there is no trading on a regulated market in working days for the country, the valuation valid for the day of the last trading session shall be accepted. In the subsequent assessment of bonds under the first sentence, the accrued interest for the respective days shall also be reported.

Price sources are regulated securities markets - the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and foreign regulated markets where the relevant securities are traded.

Quotation sources can be recognized by world news agencies such as REUTERS, BLOOMBERG, and so on.

Derivatives

Derivatives are off-balance sheet financial instruments the value of which is determined on the basis of interest rates, exchange rates or other market prices. Derivatives are an effective tool for managing market risk and limiting exposure to a counterparty.

The most commonly used derivatives are:

  • foreign exchange swap;
  • interest rate swap;
  • floors and ceilings;
  • Forward foreign exchange and interest rate contracts;
  • futures;
  • options.

All derivative financial instruments used for hedging are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.

For derivatives, the same procedures for controlling market and credit risk apply as for other financial instruments. They aggregate with other exposures to monitor the total exposure to a counterparty and are managed within the limits approved for the counterparty.

Derivatives are held for trading purposes as well as hedging instruments used to manage interest rate and currency risk. Derivatives held for trading are measured at fair value and gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a result of trading transactions.

2.12 Taxes

Income tax

Current tax comprises the amount of tax to be paid on the expected taxable profit for the period based on the effective tax rate applicable at the date of preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position and any adjustments to past tax payable.

Current taxes on profits of Bulgarian companies in the Group are determined in accordance with the requirements of Bulgarian tax legislation - the Corporate Income Tax Act. The nominal tax rate for Bulgaria in 2019 is 10% (2018: 10%).

Subsidiaries abroad are taxed according to the requirements of the relevant tax laws by country at the following tax rates:

Country Tax rate
2019 2018
Romania 16% 16%
Northern Macedonia 10% 10%
Ukraine 18% 18%
Georgia 15% 15%
Greece 29% 29%

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated by applying the balance sheet method to all temporary differences between the carrying amount of the financial statements and the amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be incurred when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. The effect on deferred tax on change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except when it relates to amounts previously accrued or accounted for directly in equity.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future profits will be available against which unused tax losses or tax credit can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced in line with the decrease in probability of tax benefits.

As at 31.3.2019 the deferred taxes on the profits of the Group companies are assessed at a rate valid for 2019, which for the Bulgarian companies is 10% and for the subsidiaries abroad is as follows:

Country Tax rate for 2019
Romania 16%
Northern Macedonia 10%
Ukraine 18%
Georgia 15%
Greece 29%

2.13. Non-current assets

2.13.1 Property, plant and equipment

Fixed tangible assets are measured at cost less the amount of accrued amortization and any impairment losses.

The Group has set a materiality threshold of BGN 700 below which the assets acquired, despite having a characteristic of a fixed asset, are reported as current expense at the time they are acquired.

Initial acquisition

Initial valuation of tangible fixed assets is carried out:

At acquisition cost, which includes: the purchase price (including customs duties and non-recoverable taxes), all direct costs of bringing an asset into working condition in accordance with its intended purpose for assets acquired from external sources;

At fair value: for those received as a result of a free transaction;

Under assessment: accepted by the court, and all direct costs of bringing an asset into working condition in accordance with its purpose - for assets received as an in-kind contribution.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are included in the acquisition cost (cost) of that asset. All other borrowing costs are reported as current in profit or loss for the period.

Subsequent assessment

The Group's approach to subsequent balance sheet valuation of property, plant and equipment is the cost model under IAS 16, the historical cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent costs

Subsequent repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at the time they are performed unless there is clear evidence that their performance will result in increased economic benefits from the use of the asset. Then these costs are capitalized at the asset's carrying amount.

Gains and losses on sale

In the case of a sale of tangible fixed assets, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale price of the asset is recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Write-off of tangible fixed assets on the balance sheet is at the time of sale or when the asset is definitively disposed of and after the write-off is not expected to have any other economic benefits.

Depreciation methods

The Group applies a straight-line depreciation method. Depreciation of assets begins in the month following the month of acquisition. The land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Useful life by group of assets is consistent with: physical wear and tear, specifics of the equipment, future intentions for use, and the assumed obsolescence.

The defined useful life by group of assets is as follows:

Asset group Useful life in years
Buildings 25-46
Machinery and equipment 3-10
Vehicles 4-6
Business inventory 3-19
Computers 2-5

Impairment

The carrying amounts of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may be permanently different from their recoverable amount. If there are such indicators that the estimated recoverable amount is lower than their carrying amount, the latter is adjusted to the recoverable amount of the assets.

Impairment losses are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year of their occurrence.

2.13.2 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are presented in the consolidated financial statements at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.

The Group applies a straight-line method of amortization of intangible assets over a useful life of 5-7 years.

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.

2.13.3 Investment property

Investment property is such property that is held for rent or capital gains, or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business of the Group, or for the use of services or administrative needs.

Investment property is measured on the basis of the present fair value with any change reflected as a gain or loss.

2.14 Pension and other payables to employees and social legislation staff

The employment and social security relations with the employees of the Group are based on the provisions of the Labor Code and the provisions of the current insurance legislation for the companies operating in Bulgaria, the Romanian Code - for the companies in Romania, the labor legislation for the companies in Ukraine , of labor law for companies in Northern Macedonia.

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized as an expense when the related service is provided. Liabilities are recognized for the amount expected to be paid on a short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plan if the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to pay that amount as a result of past service provided by an employee and the liability may be evaluate reliably.

The Group recognizes as an obligation the undiscounted amount of estimated expense paid annual leave expected to be paid to employees in exchange for their work for the past reporting period.

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan whereby the Group pays contributions to another person and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional amounts afterwards. The Government of Bulgaria is responsible for providing pensions under defined contribution plans. Expenses on the Group's commitment to transfer contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in profit or loss on an ongoing basis.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group has committed itself clearly, without any real possibility of withdrawal, with a formal detailed plan either to terminate a business relationship before the normal retirement date or to provide termination benefits as a result of a proposal , made to encourage voluntary departure.

Termination benefits for voluntary departure are recognized as an expense if the Group has made a formal offer for voluntary termination, and it is probable that the offer will be accepted and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted to their present value.

2.15 Financial assets

2.15.1 Investments in non-current financial assets

Undertakings in which the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and may have significant influence but not exercise control functions are considered as associates.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus any changes in the Group's share of the associate's net assets after the acquisition. The goodwill associated with the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. The consolidated statement of profit or loss reflects the share of the associate's operating results. The share of the profit is displayed on the face of the report.

2.15.2 Investments in financial instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group 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 is derecognized or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted for transaction costs that are reported as current expenses. The initial measurement of trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component represents the transaction price under IFRS 15.

Depending on the method of subsequent reporting, financial assets are classified into one of the following categories:

  • •debt instruments at amortized cost;
  • •Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

•Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, with or without reclassification in profit or loss, whether they are debt or equity instruments.

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

  • •the business model of the Financial Assets Management Group;
  • •the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets recognized in profit or loss are included in financial expenses, financial income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented in line with other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Subsequent valuation 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 for fair value through profit or loss:

  • •The Group manages the assets within a business model that aims to hold the financial assets and to collect their contractual cash flows;
  • •According to the contractual terms of the financial asset at specific dates, cash flows arise, which are only principal payments and interest on the outstanding amount of the principal.

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. Discarding is not done when its effect is insignificant. The Group classifies in this category the cash and cash equivalents / cash, trade and other receivables as well as listed bonds that previously had been classified as held-to-maturity financial assets in accordance with IAS 39.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets for which a business model "held for contractual cash flows" or a business model "held for collection and sale" is not applicable, as well as financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not only principal and interest payments are reported at fair value through profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments are reported in this category except for those that are designated and effective as hedging instruments and for which hedge accounting requirements apply (see below).

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.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group recognizes financial assets at fair value in other comprehensive income if the assets meet the following conditions:

  • •The Group manages assets within a business model that aims to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and sell them; and
  • •According to the contractual terms of the financial asset at specific dates, cash flows arise, which are only principal payments and interest on the outstanding amount of the principal.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include:

  • •Equity securities that are not held for trading and which the Group irrevocably has chosen at initial recognition to recognize in this category.
  • •Debt securities where the contractual cash flows are only principal and interest and the Group's business model is aimed at both the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets.

With the exemption from equity instruments of this category, any value recognized in the revaluation reserve of the instruments is reclassified to retained earnings.

In the case of debt-reliefs in this category, any value recorded in the revaluation reserve of the instruments is reclassified to profit or loss for the period.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The financial liabilities of the Group include borrowings, liabilities under finance leases, trade and other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group 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 for measurement at fair value through profit or loss (except for derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging tool).

All interest-related expenses and, if applicable, changes in the fair value of the instrument that are recognized in profit or loss are included in financial expenses or financial income.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group applies prospectively the new hedge reporting requirements in IFRS 9. All hedging relationships that are hedging relationships under IAS 39 at 31 December 2017 meet the IFRS 9 hedge accounting criteria as of 1 January 2018 and are therefore hedged considered as continuing hedging relationships.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments for cash flow hedges that require specific accounting treatment. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet all of the following requirements:

  • •there is an economic link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
  • •the effect of credit risk is not an essential part of the changes in value that result from this economic

relationship;

•the hedging relationship's hedge ratio is the same as the one resulting from the amount of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the amount of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge this amount of hedged items.

All derivative financial instruments used for hedge accounting are initially recognized at fair value and are reported at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position.

To the extent that hedging is effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the hedge of the cash flow in equity. Any inefficiency in the hedging relationship is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

At the moment when the hedged item affects profit or loss, the gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and is presented as a reclassification adjustment to other comprehensive income. However, if a non-financial asset or liability is recognized as a result of the hedged transaction, gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are included in the initial measurement of the hedged item.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred immediately to profit or loss. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued and the related gain or loss is recognized as a reserve in equity until the estimated transaction.

2.16 Inventory

Materials and goods are valued at shipping cost. Their value is the sum of all purchase costs and other costs incurred in delivering them to their current location and status.

The write-off of materials and commodities upon their consumption is based on a specific or weighted average value depending on the segments.

The net realizable value of the inventories is stated at the sale price, less the completion costs and costs incurred to realize the sale and is determined with respect to marketing, obsolescence and development at expected sales prices.

When the inventory value of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, it is reduced to the net realizable value. The decrease is recorded as other current expenses.

2.17 Provisions for liabilities

Liabilities provisions include expected costs associated with guarantees, restructuring, etc.

2.18 Equity

The share capital of the Parent Company is presented at its nominal value according to the court decisions for its registration.

Equity that does not belong to the economic group (non-controlling interest) is part of the net assets, including the net result for the year of the subsidiaries, attributable to interests not directly or indirectly held by the Parent Company.

2.19 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders, holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

The weighted average number of shares is the number of ordinary shares outstanding at beginning of period, adjusted by the number of repurchased ordinary shares issued during the period multiplied by the average time factor. This factor expresses the number of days the specific shares were held in relation to the total number of days during the period.

In capitalization, bonus issue or split, the number of ordinary shares that are outstanding at the date of this event is adjusted to reflect the proportional change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the submitted the earliest period. Reduced earnings per share are not calculated as there are no dilutive potential issued shares.

2.20 Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized over the period of the loan by the amount of receipts received, the principal, less the transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost equal to the capitalized value when applying the effective interest method. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, loan costs are recognized over the period of the loan.

Current liabilities, such as payables to suppliers, group and associates and other payables, are measured at amortized cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value.

Income for future periods recognized as liabilities includes payments received in respect of earnings for subsequent years.

2.21 Financial Risk Management

Factors that determine the financial risk

In carrying out its activities, the Group companies are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, changes in the fair value of financial instruments under the influence of market interest rates and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and risk of change of future cash flows as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and aims to reduce any adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk through payments in foreign currency and through its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Foreign currency exposures result in gains or losses that are reflected in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. These exposures comprise the Group's cash assets that are not denominated in the currency used in the financial statements of resident companies.

In cases where the local currency is exposed to significant currency risk, its management is achieved through investments in Euro denominated assets.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to the bank and trade credits used as part of the borrowings are variable interest rate agreed as basic interest (EURIBOR / LIBOR), increased by a certain margin. Variable interest rate loans are denominated in euro. Interest rates are listed in the relevant appendices.

Credit risk

The credit risk of the Group is mainly related to trade and financial receivables.

Amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position are on a net basis and exclude provisions for uncollectible receivables assessed as such by management on the basis of past experience and current economic conditions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The policy in this area is aimed at ensuring that sufficient liquidity is available to service the obligations when they become due, including in extraordinary and unforeseen situations. The objective of the management is to maintain a constant balance between the continuity and flexibility of financial resources through the use of adequate forms of funding.

Liquidity risk management is the responsibility of the Group's management and includes maintaining sufficient cash, negotiating adequate credit lines, preparing analysis and updating cash flow projections.

2.22 Determination of fair values

Fair value is the price that would have been obtained on the sale of an asset or paid on the transfer of an obligation in a typical transaction between market participants at the valuation date.

Fair value measurement implies that the transaction for the sale of the asset or the transfer of the liability is carried out:

•the underlying market for that asset or liability;

or

•in the absence of a major market - the most profitable market for that asset or liability.

The main or most advantageous market should be available to the Group.

In measuring the fair value of a non-financial asset, 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 that will use it in such a way is taken into account. The Group uses cost-appropriate valuation methods, for which there is sufficient available fair value measurement data, using as much as possible the relevant observable hypotheses and minimizing the use of non-observable ones.

All assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized according to a fair value hierarchy described as follows and based on the lowest rank of observable assumptions that are significant for the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • •Level 1 Adjusted (unadjusted) active market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Group may have access at the measurement date;
  • •Level 2 Valuation techniques for which observable lower rank hypotheses that are relevant for fair value measurement are directly or indirectly observable;
  • •Level 3 Valuation techniques for which observable lower case scenarios that are relevant for fair value measurement are unobservable.

External valuers have been used to measure the fair value of significant assets such as goodwill and investment property.

2.23 Cash and cash equivalents

The consolidated cash flow statement shows the Group's cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities during the year, changes in cash and cash equivalents for the year, cash and cash equivalents at beginning and end of the year.

Operating cash flows are calculated as a result for the year, adjusted for non-monetary operating positions, changes in net working capital and corporate tax.

Cash flows from investing activities include payments in connection with the purchase and sale of fixed assets and cash flows associated with the purchase and sale of businesses and activities. Purchase and sale of other securities that are not cash and cash equivalents are also included in investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities include changes in the size or composition of share capital and related costs, borrowing and repayment of interest-bearing loans, purchase and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.
