Reason for the decrease is the written business by Euroins Romania. All other subsidiaries have registered growth. The Group has reported unaudited consolidated profit of BGN 5.8 million compared to a profit of BGN 6.6 million in Q1 2017.

In January 2018 was completed the process to increase EIG capital by BGN 195.6 million (EUR 100 million), a decision that has been voted back in 2015. The amount of this increase has been fully paid in and registered with the Trade Registry as well. As of now the total share capital of Euroins Insurance Group amounts to BGN 483,445,791.

At the end of the quarter a Group corporate governance plan was initiated. Based on good practices, risk management and improved reporting it is in the context of a shared operational and IT environment. The aim is to achieve management synergies and to improve the Group corporate governance so that it will lead to qualitative and quantitative progress – from the very main elements (products, sales, claims) through reporting, control and quality of the actuarial calculations and work.

Euroins Bulgaria

In the first three months of 2018 Euroins Bulgaria has reported total GWP of BGN 38.3 million compared to BGN 33.1 million written in 2017. The reason for this growth of nearly 16% is the direct insurance business written through brokers both locally in Bulgaria and in Greece, Italy and Spain according to the EU directive for Freedom of services. MTPL line of business grows but so do also main non-motor lines such as Property (15.4%), Accident & Health (22%), Liability (28.9%), Travel (46.3%) and Cargo (26.6%).

Net claims incurred are up by 13.2%. The reasons for this growth is the growth of the business. Net earned premiums have increased by nearly 28% for the period.

An increase in the administrative expenses has been reported compared to the same period of 2017. Firstly, these are the expenses associated with the growth of the

business. Next are the substantial final costs related to the IFRS and Solvency II audits that also have their impact. Because of the new regulatory requirement, the statements of the insurance companies must be now signed off by two audit firms. There are also the significant costs associated with the new regulatory requirements of Solvency II.

Despite this Euroins Bulgaria has reported a profit for group purposes of BGN 419 thousand compared to BGN 54 thousand in Q1 2017.

In 2017 the majority shareholder of Euroins Bulgaria Euroins Insurance Group has reconfirmed its commitment to support its subsidiary by increasing its capital by BGN 16 million. As at 31 December 2017 the share capital, fully paid in and registered, amounts to BGN 32,470,000.

The improved financial condition of the company has been also confirmed by the updated Long-Term Claims Paying Ability Rating assigned by BCRA, Credit rating Agency, in January 2018. The assigned rating is "BBB-" with outlook updated to Stable confirming the improvement.

All the circumstances above would help the management of Euroins Bulgaria in focusing on the challenges waiting in 2018, which are the introduction by way of enactment of the bonus malus system on the local MTPL insurance market and the establishment of an insurance branch in Greece.

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 2018 Euroins Romania has written total GWP of BGN 102.5 million compared to BGN 131.7 million in 2017. The decrease is a result of the stabilization of the Romanian MTPL market after two years of significant increase of the average premium. Unlike the Motor business the major non-Motor lines of business such as Liability (47.5%), Accident (28.4%), Cargo (7.5%), and Property (5.5%).

Net claims incurred grow as result of an increase of the number of reported claims, At the same time there is a decrease of the average reported claim.

Acquisition and administrative costs have registered significant decrease, 13% and 10% respectively, compared to the same period of 2017. And while for the acquisition costs it is easily understandable because of the decrease in the written business, the administrative costs are going down because of certain initiatives under way to optimize several processes related not only to the administrative management but also to processes that are yet to benefit activities such as claims handling and internal controls.

As a result, this is another quarter for Euroins Romania where it can be witnessed the positive effect of the re-segmentation combined with the strengthening of the reserves in 2015. Subsequently the profit for group purposes rises to BGN 5.4 million before tax.

At the beginning of 2018 Euroins Romania has received the final regulatory approval for the acquisition of the insurance portfolio of ATE Insurance, a Romanian general insurer. It consists of non-Motor business only. The transaction is part of the long-term strategy of Euroins Romania to increase the share of the non-Motor business of the company.

Euroins Macedonia

In Q1 2018 gross premiums written by Euroins Macedonia have registered a growth of nearly 17% reaching BGN 4.5 million. Main business lines that grow are Liability by 63.3%, Motor Hull – 25.9%, Property – 17.5%, MTPL – 14.9% and Cargo – 2.1%.

Net claims incurred have increased by 16.6% with the net earned premiums have grown by 13.3% in the same period.

Because of the ongoing initiatives of the management of the company administrative costs have registered a decrease of 8%.

The result of the above is a profit for group purposes of BGN 418 thousand compared to BGN 44 thousand in 2017.

Euroins Life

In the first three months of 2018 Euroins Life has written total GWP of BGN 372 thousand, which is at the same level as in Q1 2017.

EIG Re

The previous name of Insurance Company EIG Re EAD is HDI Insurance AD. Euroins Insurance Group has acquired the company at the end of 2015.

INFLUENCE OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS OCCURRED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2018 ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 31 of MARCH 2018

There were no other important events occurred in the reporting period.

DESCRIBTION OF THE KEY RISK FACTORS

1. Systematic risks Influence of the Global Economic Crisis

The global financial crisis, which started in 2007, led to a slowdown in economic growth and an increase of unemployment in many countries (including US, EU countries,Russia, and Japan), limited access to financing resources and a significant devaluation of financial assets worldwide. The financial crisis also caused significant disturbances on the global financial market which led to reduced confidence in financial markets and fewer investments in financial instruments. As a result, companies in the financial sector started to experience difficulties in maintaining liquidity and raising capital. A further deterioration of the business climate may lead to an even higher unemployment rate and reduced income in the Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia), which in turn may lead to a decreased level of consumption. The low levels of consumption will affect the sales of the Issuer's subsidiaries.

A future deterioration of the business climate and the lack of certainty regarding the trends on the global financial market, particularly on the Balkan financial markets, may also have an adverse effect on the development prospects of the emitent, its results and financial status.

Risks resulting from the general macroeconomic, political and social climate, and government policies

The macroeconomic situation and the economic growth of the Balkans (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia) are of key importance for the development of the Group, this includes government policies of the respective countries, particularly the regulatory policy and the decisions made by the respective National Banks which affect

the monetary policy, interests and exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation rate, budget deficit, foreign debt, unemployment rate and income structure.

The changes in the demographic structure, the mortality or morbidity rate are also important factors, affecting the Group's development. The above mentioned external factors, as well as other unfavorable political, military or diplomatic developments, leading to social instability, may shrink the consumers expenditures as well as restrict the funds for insurance policies and car leasing.

As a result, the gross underwritten premiums (GWP) in the insurance business may decrease and clients may discontinue their insurance policies, as well as postpone new car purchases and, correspondingly, new car leases. Any deterioration of the region's macroeconomic indicators may also adversely affect insurance products, car sales and

signing of new lease contracts. Consequently, there is a risk, if the business environment broadly deteriorated, the Group's sales would be lower than originally planned. Furthermore, the general changes in the government policy and regulatory systems may lead to an increase of the Group's operating expenses and capital requirements. If the above mentioned factors occur, fully or partially, they could have a significant adverse impact on the Group's results and financial status.

Political Risk

This is the risk resulting from the political process in the country - risk of political instability, changes in the governing principles, legislation and economic policy. The political risk is directly related to the likelihood of unfavorable changes in the direction of the government's long-term policies. Consequently, there exists the possibility of negative changes in the business climate.

The long-term political environment in the Balkans is stable and does not imply greater risks for the future economic policy of the countries. The EU integration of the countries in the region, combined with their consistent domestic and foreign policies, ensure the absence of shocks and significant changes in the currently conducted policies in the near future.

Credit Risk of the State

The credit risk relates to the possibility for worsening of the international credit ratings of Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia. The low credit ratings may lead to higher interest rates and more restrictive financing conditions for business enterprises, including for the Company.

At the end of year 2015 the credit agency STANDART&POOR'S confirmed the long term and short term debt rating of Bulgaria in foreign and local currency as "BB+/B" with a stable perspective. The assigned value is supported by the low government debt as well as by the moderate foreign liabilities. The considerably low per capita income and the weak institutional environment are specified as limiting factors. Standard&Poor's judge, that the financial sector continues being faced with important challenges, but they also point out, that the efforts made have been directed towards the elimination of risks,

considering the upcoming quality appraisal of the assets of the banking system in year 2016.

In December 2015 the international rating agency "Fitch" confirmed the long term debt rating of Bulgaria in foreign currency as "BBB-" and the long term rating in local currency as"BBB".The expectations about both indicators are "stable". The country's top rating is approved as being "BBB+", as well as the short term credit rating in foreign currency as "F3". The Fitch appraisal indicates that the current economic development of the country in 2015 is better than expected by the agency, which determines the increase in the forecast for economic growth, mostly associated with the high foreign demand. After the growth during the first three quarters of 2015 averaged 2,7%, the international agency revised its current year expectations in upward direction from 1,2% to 2,5%, which was the same estimate as made in June. According to the Bulgarian Ministry of finance, the Fitch expectations are also higher for the next two years, when the growth will be more balanced. The company expects for years 2016 and 2017 the average growth of the Bulgarian Real GDP to reach 2,6%.

Inflation Risk

The inflation risk is associated with the possible inflation adverse impact to real returns on investments. Inflation may affect the expenses of the Company, because large part of the Company's liabilities are related to interest. Their servicing depends on the prevailing current interest rates, which reflect the levels of inflation in the country. Therefore, maintaining low inflation rates in the countries the Company operates, is considered a significant factor.

Currency risk

This risk is related to the possibility of a devaluation of the local currency. For Bulgaria this is the risk of premature collapse of the Monetary Board in the conditions of fixed exchange rate of the national currency. Considering the adopted policy by the government and the Central Bank, it is expected the currency board to be maintained until the country's admission into the Euro zone. In Romania, Serbia and Macedonia the currency exchange rates are determined by the market conditions and the central banks intervene and balance the short-term fluctuations of currency exchange rates in occurance of stress situations caused by singular external factors.

Any significant devaluation of the national currencies in the region (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia) could have a significant adverse effect on the business in the country, including the Company. Risks exist when the revenues and expenses of a firm are denominated in different currencies.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk is related to the possibility of changes in the prevailing interest rates in the country. Its impact is reflected in the possibility that the net income of the companies will decrease as a result of increase of interest rates at which the Company funds its activity. Interest rate risk is classified as a general macro-economic risk, because the major precondition for interest rates change is the instability of the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed by a balanced use of multiple sources of funding. A typical example of this risk is the global economic crisis, caused by the liquidity problems of the large mortgage institutions in the U.S.A. and Europe. As a result of the crisis, the required interest rate premiums were reconsidered and re-evaluated

and increased globally. The effect of this crisis is noticeable in Eastern Europe and the Balkans and restricts the free access to borrowed funding.

The increase of interest rates, ceteris paribus, will impact the cost of funding used by the Company in executing different business projects. At the same time, it can adversely affect the amount of the Company expenses, because large portion of the Company's liabilities are related to interests and their maintenance depends on the current interest rates.

2. Unsystematic risks

Risks, related to the business operations and the structure of the company

EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD is a holding company, and any deterioration in the operating results, financial status and development prospects of its subsidiaries may adversely affect the results financial condition of the Company. As far as the Company's business is related to management of assets of other companies, the Company cannot be assigned to one particular segment of the national economy and is exposed to the industry risks of its subsidiaries. Generally, the companies from the group of EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD operate in two main sectors: financial (insurance, leasing, financial intermediary) and car sales.

The main risk for the EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD's activity is the possibility of decreasing the revenues from sales of the companies it holds shares in. This affects the received dividends. Respectively, this may have a negative effect on the Company's revenue growth as well as profitability.

The activity of the Company's subsidiaries are adversely affected by the continued increase of the market prices of fuels and electricity which are subject to international supply and demand and are determined by factors beyond their control.

The biggest risk is concentrated in the insurance segment of the Company which generates the biggest portion of the group's revenue. The companies with the biggest share in revenues, respectively in the financial result of the insurance segment are the operating on the Bulgarian and Romanian market companies from the group of EuroIns.

The major risk of the leasing business line is in the ability to provide acceptable price of sufficient funds to expand the leasing portfolio. The leading company of the leasing subholding, EuroLease Auto AD has issued bonds, registered for trade on BSE-Sofia AD. The investor may obtain detailed information concerning the business risks from the company's prospectus.

The financial business line of the group is represented by investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD. The risk associated with the financial intermediation, brokerage and asset management is related to the high volatility of the debt and equity markets, the changes in the people's financial disposition and investing culture.

The automotive subholding Avto Union AD which operates in Bulgaria and Macedonia is engaged in the field of new car sales, rent-a-car services and after-sales services. The business activity depends directly on the permissions and authorizations granted to the companies from the group of Avto Union by the respective car manufacturers. The termination or revocation of such rights can drastically decrease the sales of the group.

This is relevant, especially in the context of global restructuring of the car industry. Business environment of the car industry is influenced by domestic factors related to the ability of the population to buy, funding availability, business attitudes, inventories, etc.

The worse results of one or several subsidiaries can lead to worse results on a consolidated basis. Respectively, this relates to the shares' price of the company, because the market price of the shares reflects the business potential and the assets of the economic group as a whole.

Risks, related to the strategy and development of the Issuer

The future earnings and market value of the Company depend on the strategy, chosen by the senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries. Choosing the wrong strategy may lead to significant losses. EuroHold seeks to manage the risk of strategic mistakes by continuously monitoring various stages in the implementation of its marketing strategy and the results from it. This is crucial for the ability to respond on time if change in the strategic development plan is needed. Untimely or inappropriate strategy changes may also have a significant negative impact on the Company's operating results and financial status.

Risks, Related to the Management of the Company

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

  • Poor decisions regarding investments and liquidity management by either top management or other senior employees;
  • Inability to launch and execute new projects under development, or lack of a competent management team for those projects;
  • Possible information system errors;
  • Possible failures in the internal control system;
  • Resignation of key employees and inability to keep and hire qualified personnel;
  • Excess increase of SG&A expenses, leading to a decrease in the Company's profitability.

Financial Risk

The financial risk represents an additional uncertainty when the Company uses borrowed funds. This additional financial uncertainty increases the business risk. When part of the funds used by the company for financing its activities are borrowed or raised by issuing bonds, the repayment of these funds reperesent a fixed liability.

The larger the share of long-term debt to equity, the greater the possibility for default in payments of fixed liabilities will be. The increase in this indicator represents an increase of overall financial risk.

Another group of indicators is related to the flow of revenues which enable the payment of the company's liabilities. An indicator, which can be used is the one reflecting the coverage of the fixed liabilities (interests). This indicator refers to the amount of the fixed interest payments divided by the income before payment of interests and taxation. This is a good indicator of a firm's ability to service its long term liabilities.

The acceptable or "normal" level of financial risk depends on the business risk. If there is a low business risk for the company, it can be expected for the investors to take bigger financial risk and vice versa.

Currency Risk

EuroHold operates in several Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia), where the national currency of each of the countries, except in Bulgaria, is freely convertible, which relative value to other currencies is determined by the free financial markets. In Bulgaria, since 1997 the local currency has been pegged to the Euro. Abrupt changes in the macro-framework of any of the countries, where the Company actively operates, may have a negative effect on its consolidated results. However, EuroHold reports its consolidated financial results in Bulgaria in Bulgarian lev, which in turn is pegged to the Euro, which also changes its value according other global currencies, but is significantly less exposed to any dramatic fluctuations.

Liquidity Risk

The liquidity risk is related to the possibility for the Company to fail to repay its maturing financial liabilities fully and on time when they are due for payment. The good financial indicators of profitability and capitalization of a company do not guarantee the smooth covering of the current payables. Liquidity risk may occur due to delayed payments from clients. EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD aims to minimize this risk by optimal management of the cash flows within the group. The Group implements an approach which ensures the necessary liquidity resource for covering the incurred liabilities in normal or extraordinary conditions without unacceptable loss or compromising the reputation of the separate companies in the group.

The subsidiaries exercise financial planning to cover the payment of their current expenses and liabilities for a period of ninety days, including servicing of the financial liabilities. This financial planning minimizes and excludes the potential effect of unexpected circumstances.

The Company's management supports the efforts of the subsidiaries in the group for raising bank resources for investments and using this kind of financing for providing of working capital. The amount of these borrowed funds is kept at defined level and is approved upon proving the economic effectiveness for each company. The policy of the management is aimed at raising financing resources from the market in the form of shares and bonds then invested in the subsidiaries as loans for funding their projects. The management participates in the increase of their capital as well.

Risk related to the possible transactions between companies within the Group under terms different from those on the market, as well as related to the dependence on the Group activity

The relationships with related parties arise as a result of contracts for temporary financial aid to the subsidiarycompanies and transactions, related to the normal business activity of the subsidiary companies. The risk of possible transactions between the companies within the Group under terms that are different from those on the market refers to taking a risk to achieve low profitability from provided intercompany financing. Another risk that can be assumed refers to intercompany transactions failing to realize enough revenues and thus poor profit for the respective company. On a consolidated level, this can affect negatively the profitability of the entire group.There are constant transactions between the parent Company and its subsidiaries, as well as among the subsidiaries themselves, which arise in the normal course of activity of the companies. All transactions with

related parties are conducted underterms that are no different from the normal market prices and are in compliance with IAS24.

EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD operates through its subsidiary companies which means that its financial results directly depends on the financial results, the developments and the perspectives of the subsidiaries. One of the main objectives of EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD is to realize significant synergy between its subsidiary companies as a result of the integration of the three business lines – insurance, leasing and car sales. Bad results of one or several subsidiary companies can lead to a deterioration of the consolidated financial results. This, in turn, affects the Company's share price which can change as a result of the expectations of the investors about the perspectives of the company.

3. Risk Management

The elements of risk management consist of specific procedures for timely prevention and resolution of possible problems in the operations of EUROHOLD BULGARIA AD They include current analysis in the following directions:

  • market share, pricing policy and marketing research on the development of the market and market share;
  • active management of investments in different industry sectors;
  • a comprehensive policy regarding the management of the Company's assets and liabilities, which aims to optimize the structure,quality and return on assets;
  • optimization of the structure of raised funds aiming to ensure liquidity and a decrease inthe financial expenses of the Group;
  • effective management of cash flows;
  • optimization of administrative expenses, as well as those for management and external services;
  • human resources management.

In the case of unexpected events, incorrect assessment of current market trends, as well as many other micro- and macroeconomic factors, could impact the judgment of management. The only way to overcome this risk is to work with experienced professionals, as well as to maintain and update a comprehensive database on recent developments 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 business segments and is aimed at identifying, analyzing and limiting risks in all areas of the Group's operations. In particular, the Group minimizes insurance risk by properly selecting and actively monitoring the insurance portfolio, matching the duration of assets and liabilities, as well as minimizing FX 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.

The risk management procedures aim to:

  • identify possible events which can affect the Group's operations and achieving specific goals;
  • control the risk assertion at an acceptable level adopted in the Group;
  • achieving the Group's financial goals at the lowest possible risk.

2. SUMMARY OF THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICY

2.1 Basis for Preparation of the Financial Statement

The 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 interim consolidated financial statement is drafted in compliance with the historic cost principle, excluding those financial instruments and financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value. The report are drafted in accordance with the principle of going concern, which assumes that the company will continue to operate in the near future.

2.2 Comparative Data

The group keeps on presenting the information in the financial statements during the periods. Whenever needed, comparative data are reclassified in order to achieve comparability between the changes in the presentation for the current year.

2.3 Consolidation

Consolidated financial statements comprise consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity as at 31.3.2018.

These statements comprise the holding – parent company and all subsidiaries. A subsidiary is consolidated by the parent company through the direct or indirect holding of more than 50% of the voting shares in the capital or through the ability to manage its financial and operational policy for the purposes of obtaining economic benefits from its operations.

The method of full consolidation is applied. Statements are aggregated line by line, and items such as assets and liabilities, properties, income and expenses are summed up. All internal transactions and balances between the group companies are eliminated. Opposing elements: equity, financial, trade, calculation of goodwill as at the date of acquisition, are eliminated.

Non-controlled participation in the net assets of subsidiaries is defined in accordance with the shareholding structure of such subsidiaries as at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

With regard to business combinations comprising group entities or business subject to joint control, the Group has chosen to apply the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The Group has chosen the accounting policy with regard to these transactions, as for the time being they do not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 3 and the existing IFRSs do not provide any guidance to this effect. In accordance with IAS 8, when there is no standard or interpretation that are particularly application to an operation, another vent or condition, the management uses its own judgments to develop and apply the accounting policy.

Principles of Consolidation

Business combinations are accounted by using the purchase method. This method requires the investor to recognize the acquired identifiable assets, undertaken liabilities and the participation, which is not a control in the investee, separately from the goodwill as at the date of acquisition. Expenses that are directly related to the acquisition are stated in the statement of profit or loss for the period.

Acquired identifiable assets and undertaken liabilities and contingent liabilities in a business combination are measured at fair value at the date

of acquisition, irrespective of the level of noncontrolled participation. The Group is able to measure participations, which are not control in the investee either at fair value, or as a proportionate share in the identifiable net assets of the investee.

The excess of the acquisition price over the share of the investor in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the investee is stated as goodwill. In case the acquisition price is less than the investor's share in the fair value of the net assets of the company, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Separately recognised goodwill with regard to the acquisition of subsidiaries is always tested for impairment at least once a year. Goodwill impairment losses are not subsequently reimbursed. Profits or losses from sale (disposal) of a subsidiary by the Group also comprise the book value of the goodwill deducted for the sold (disposed) company.

Recognised goodwill is affiliated to a specific cash inflow generating unit yet at the realization of a business combination, and such unit is applied for the impairment tests. When defining the cash flow generating units, the Group takes into account the units that have been expected to generate future economic benefits upon the acquisition through the business combination, and with regard to which the goodwill has occurred.

Non-controlling participation transactions

The Group treats the operations with noncontrolling participation as transactions with entities holding Group's equity instruments. The effects from sale of shares of the parent company, without losing control, to the holders of non-controlling participations are not treated as elements of the current profit or loss of the Group, but as movement within the components of its equity. And vice versa, upon purchases by the parent company, without acquiring control, of additional shares in the participation of holders of non-controlling participations, every difference between the amount paid and the respective acquired share from the book value of the subsidiary's net assets is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of equity, usually as "retained earnings/ (non-covered loss)".

When the Group does not have control and significant influence any more, every minority investment remaining as a share in the capital of the respective company is revaluated at fair value, and the difference up to the book value is recognised in the current profit or loss, whereas all amounts recognised before in other elements of the comprehensive income, are stated as like as for operation of direct disposal of all associated to the initial investment (in the subsidiary or associate), respectively.

2.4 Functional and Reporting Currency

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the functional and reporting currency of the group. Data presented in the consolidated statements and the annexes thereto are in thousand BGN (000'BGN). Since 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian Lev is pegged to the EURO at the exchange rate: BGN 1, 95583 for EUR 1. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are reported in the BGN equivalent on the basis of the exchange rate as at the date of the operation and are revaluated on annual basis using the official exchange rate of the Bulgarian National Bank on the last working day of the year.

2.5 Accounting Assumptions and Accounting Estimates

Upon preparing the financial statement in compliance with IAS, the management of the Group is required to apply accounting estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the balance sheet. Despite the estimates are based on the management's knowledge of current developments, the actual results may vary from the estimates used.

Deferred tax assets

Tax loss

The assessment of probability for future taxable income for the utilisation of deferred tax assets is based on the last approved budget forecast adjusted with regard to material untaxable income and expenses and specific restrictions for carrying forward unused tax losses or credits. If a reliable estimate for taxable income suggests the probable use of deferred tax asset, in particular in case the asset may be used without time limit, then the deferred tax asset is recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to specific legal or economic restrictions or uncertainty should be judged by the management on case by case basis on the grounds of specific facts and circumstances.

Inventories – Impairment

As at the end of the reporting period, the management reviews the available inventories – supplies, goods, in order to identify if there are inventories whose net realizable value is less than their book value. No indications for impairment of inventories have been found during the review as at 31.3.2018.

Impairment of property, plant, machinery and equipment

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36, as at the end of the reporting period the management judges if there are indications that the value of an asset within the property, plant and equipment is impaired. In case such indications exist, the replacement cost of this asset is measured and the impairment loss is calculated. As at 31.3.2018, no impairment of property, plant, machinery and equipment has been stated.

Actuarial valuations

When defining the current value of long-term employee benefits upon retirement, calculations of certified actuaries are used based on assumptions for mortality, staff turnover rate, future level of salaries and discount factor, which assumptions are estimated by the management as reasonable and appropriate for the Group.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group makes a test for impairment of goodwill at least once a year. The refundable amounts from cash generating units are defined on the basis of their value in use or their fair value, without calculation of the sale cost.

Impairment of borrowings and receivables

The Group uses an adjustment account to report the impairment of difficultly collectible and uncollectible receivables from counterparties. The management judges the adequacy of this impairment on the basis of age analysis of receivables, previous experience about the level of derecognition of uncollectible receivables, and analysis of the counterparty's solvency, amendments of contractual payment terms and conditions, etc. If the financial position and performance of the counterparties become worse than the expected, the value of receivables that should be derecognised during the next reporting periods may be higher than the one expected as at the reporting date.

Fair value of financial instruments

The management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments if here are no quoted prices at active market. Detailed information about the assumptions used are presented in the explanatory notes to the financial assets and liabilities. When applying assessment techniques, the management uses, to the maximum extent, market data and assumptions, that market stakeholders would adopt upon assessing a financial instrument. In case there are no applicable market data, the management uses its best estimate of assumptions that the market stakeholders would make. These assessments may differ from the actual prices that would be defined in an arm's length transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period.

2.6 Income

Group's income is recognized on the accrual basis and to the extent economic benefits are obtained by the Group and as far as the income may be reliably measured.

Upon sales of goods income is recognized when all material risks and benefits from the title of goods are transferred to the buyer.

Upon provision of services, income is recognized considering the stage of completion of the transaction as at the date of the balance sheet, if such stage may be reliably measured, as well as the costs incurred for the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized upon certifying the right to obtain them.

In the consolidated statement of profit or loss, dividends declared for the financial year by the subsidiaries are recognised as intra-account and are thus eliminated and are not taken in consideration upon calculation of the financial performance.

Eurohold Group generates financial income from the following activities:

  • Operations with investments;
  • Dividends;
  • Interests from granted loans.

2.7 Expenses

Group's expenses are recognized at the time of occurrence thereof and on the accrual and comparability basis.

Administrative expenses are recognized as expenses incurred during the year and are relevant to the management and administration of the Group companies, ng expenses that relate to the administrative staff, officers, office expenses, and other outsourcing.

Financial expenses include: expenses incurred in relation to investment operations, losses from financial instruments operations and currency operations, expenses on interest under granted bank loans and obligatory issues, as well as fees and commissions.

Prepaid expenses (deferred expenses) are carried forward for recognition as current expenses for the period in which the contracts they pertain to are performed.

Other operating income and expenses include items of secondary character in relation to the main activity of the Group.

2.8 Interest

Interest income and expenses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate for discounting the expected cash payments and proceeds during the term of the financial asset or liability up to the net book value of the respective asset or liability. The effective interest rate is calculated upon the initial recognition of the financial asset or liability and is not adjusted subsequently.

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

Transaction costs are the inherent costs directly attributable to the financial asset or liability acquisition, issue or derecognition.

Interest income and expenses stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss include: interest recognized on the basis of effective interest rate under financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized value.

Unearned financial income (interest) is the difference between the gross and net investment in the lease, whereas the gross investment in a lease is the amount of minimum lease payments and the non-guaranteed residual value charged by the lessor. Interest income under lease operations (financial income) is distributed for the term of validity of the lease and is recognised on the basis of constant periodic rate of return of the lessor's net investment.

2.9 Fees and commissions

Fee and commission income and expenses which are an integral part of the effective interest rate for a financial asset or liability, are included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.

Other fee and commission income, including logistic services fees, insurance and other intermediation fees, is recognized upon providing the respective services.

The other fee and commission costs relevant mainly to banking services are recognized upon receipt of the respective services.

2.10 Reporting by segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group, which deals with activities that can generate income and incur expenses related to transactions with any of the other Group's components.

For management purposes, the Group is organised in business units on the basis of the products and services they offer and provide, and includes the following segments subject to reporting:

Insurance:

• Insurance services

Financial services:

  • Lease services
  • Investment intermediation

Automobiles:

  • Sale of new cars
  • Car repair services
  • Rent-a-car

2.10.1 Insurance activities

Recognition and measurement of insurance contracts

Non-life insurance premiums

Non-life insurance premiums are accounted on annual basis. Gross written premiums under nonlife insurance are premiums under contracts for direct insurance or co-insurance, which are entered into during the year, although the premiums may be fully or partially relate to a later accounting period. Premiums are disclosed gross of commissions payable to brokers.

The earned part of written insurance premiums, including for unexpired insurance contracts, is recognised as income. Written insurance premiums are recognised as at the date of entering into the insurance contract.

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

Health insurance premiums

Written health insurance premiums are recognised as income on the basis of the annual premium due by the insured individuals for the premium period beginning during the financial year, or the lump-sum premium payable for the whole period

of cover for one year health insurance contracts entered into during the financial year.

Gross written premiums from health insurance are not recognised when the future cash inflows related thereto are uncertain. Written health insurance premiums are stated gross of commissions payable to agents.

Life insurance premiums

Written premiums from life insurance are recognised as income on the basis of the annual premium due by the insured persons for the premium period beginning during the financial year, or the lump-sum premium payable for the whole period of cover for policies entered into during the financial year.

Gross written premiums from are not recognised when the future cash inflows related thereto are uncertain. Written premiums are stated gross of commissions payable to agents.

Unearned premium reserve

Unearned premium reserve comprises that part of written gross insurance/ health insurance premiums that is calculated to be earned during the next or subsequent financial periods. Unearned premium reserve comprises the insurance premiums charged and recognised as income during the reporting period, less ceded premiums to reinsurers, which should be recognised during the next financial year or during subsequent financial periods. The reserve is calculated individually for each insurance/ health insurance contract by using a proportionate method on daily basis. The unearned premium reserve is calculated net of commissions to brokers, advertising and other acquisition costs.

Unexpired risk reserve

This reserve is established to cover risks for the time between the end of the reporting period and the date on which the respective insurance/ health insurance contract expires, in order to cover payments and expenses that are expected to exceed the established unearned premium reserve.

Compensations incurred under non-life insurance and health insurance and reserves for pending claims

Compensations incurred with regard to non-life insurance and health insurance comprise compensations and their administration costs payable during the financial year, together with the change in the pending claims reserve.

The management believes that the gross pending claims reserve and the respective share of the reinsurer's reserve are presented fairly based on the information available as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The final liability will be changed as a result of subsequent information and events and may require material adjustment of the amount accrued initially. Adjustments in the pending claims reserve found during previous years are stated in the financial statements for the period in which such adjustments have been made, and are disclosed independently, if they are material. The methods used and the assessments made for the accrual of the reserve are subject to regular review.

Reinsurance

In its principal activity, Group's insurance companies cede risk to reinsurers with view of decreasing their potential net losses through risk differentiation.

Reinsurance activity does not release the direct obligations of the respective company to the insured persons.

Reinsurance assets comprise the balance payable by reinsurance companies for ceded insurance liabilities. The amounts to be reimbursed by reinsurers are calculated in a way similar to the way for calculation of the reserves for pending claims or for settled claims related to reinsurance policies.

Premiums and claims related to these reinsurance contracts are considered income and expenses in the same way as they would be considered if reinsurance was a direct activity, while taking into account the classification of reinsurance business' products.

Ceded (or accepted) premiums and reimbursed compensations (or paid claims) are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of financial position as gross amounts.

Contracts which cede material insurance risk are accounted as insurance contracts. The amounts refundable under these contracts are recognised during the year of occurrence of the respective claim.

Premiums for long-term reinsurance contracts are accounted in parallel with the term of validity of the related insurance policies by using assumptions similar to those for the accounting of the respective policies.

The replacement cost of receivables under reinsurance contracts is subject to impairment review at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Such assets are impaired if there is objective evidence as a result of event that has occurred after their initial recognition.

Deferred acquisition expenses

Deferred acquisition expenses are the amount of acquisition expenses deducted upon calculating the unearned premium reserve. They are defined as that part of the acquisition costs under the contracts valid as at the end of the period, which are estimated as a percentage in the insurance technical schedule and relevant to the time between the end of the reporting period and the date of expiration of the term of validity of the insurance/ health insurance contract. Current acquisition expenses are recognised in full as an expense during the reporting period.

Acquisition expenses

Commission expenses comprise charged broker's commissions, expenses for share in the result, which are accrued in favour of the insured/ health insured persons in case of low claims ratio. Indirect acquisition costs comprise expenses for advertising and expenses incurred for entering into/ renewal of insurance/ health insurance contracts.

2.10.2 Lease activities

The lease activity of the Group is related to the lease of motor vehicles and other industrial equipment, real estates, etc. under financial and operating lease agreements.

Finance lease is an agreement by virtue of which the lessor gives the lessee the right to use an asset for an agreed time period for consideration. The lease is reported as finance lease when the lessor transfers with the agreement all substantial risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset to the lessee.

Typical indicators reviewed by the Group to identify whether all substantial risks and benefits are transferred are as follows: present value of minimum lease payments in comparison to the beginning of the lease; term of validity of the lease in comparison to the economic life of the leased asset; whether the lessee will acquire the title of the leased asset at the end of the finance lease term of validity. All other leases that do not transfer substantially all risks and benefits of the ownership of the asset are classified as operating lease.

Minimum lease payments

Minimum lease payments are those payments that the lessee will make or may be obliged to make during the term of validity of the lease. From Group perspective, minimum lease payments also comprise the residual value of the asset guaranteed by a third party not related to the Group, provided such party is financially capable to perform its engagements under the guarantee or the repurchase agreement. In the minimum lease payments, the Group also comprises the price of exercising possible option that the lessee has to purchase the asset, whereas it is to a great extent certain at the beginning of the lease that the option will be exercised.

Minimum lease payments do not include amounts related to conditional leases, as well as service and tax expenses, which are paid by the Group and are subsequently re-invoiced to the lessee.

Beginning of the lease and beginning of the term of validity of the lease

There is a difference between the beginning of the lease and the beginning of the term of validity of the lease. The beginning of the lease is the earlier than the two dates – of the lease agreement or the parties' binding with the main conditions of the lease. As at this date: the lease is classified as finance or operating lease; and in case of finance lease, the amounts that should be recognised at the beginning of the term of validity of the lease are defined. The beginning of the term of validity of the lease is the date on which the lessee may exercise its right to use the leased asset. This is also the date on which the Group initially recognizes the receivable under the lease.

Initial and subsequent measurement

Initially the Group recognizes receivable under lease that is equal to its net investment, which comprises the present value of minimum lease payments and every non-guaranteed residual value for the Group. The present value is calculated by discounting the minimum lease payments due with an interest rate inherent to the lease. Initial direct expenses are included in the calculation of the receivable under finance lease. During the term of validity of the lease, the Group accrues financial income (interest income from finance lease) over the net investment.

Receivables under finance lease

Received lease payments are considered a decrease of the net investment (repayment of principal) and recognition of financial income in a way that ensures permanent rate of return of the net investment. Subsequently, the net investment in financial leases is stated net, after offsetting individual and portfolio provisions for incollectibility.

2.10.3 Financial intermediation-related activity

The financial intermediation activity is related to transactions with financial instruments. They are classified as held for trading.

Financial instruments are measured upon acquisition at cost, which comprises their fair value plus all transaction-related expenses.

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, which is the sales, stock exchange or market price.

The Group states its financial assets in the following way:

• Securities of Bulgarian issuers traded on BSE – Sofia AD – the mean weighted price of the transactions they have made on regulated market for the closest day of the last 30-days' period in which such securities have been traded in an amount not less than the amount of securities held by the subsidiary Euro-Finance AD. If there is not transaction made, the market price of the securities is defined on the basis of the "ask" rate announced on the regulated market for the respective session of the closest day of the last 30-days period;

  • Shares in foreign currency of foreign issuers at market prices of the foreign stock exchanges: FRANKFURT, XETRA, NASDAQ;
  • Government securities issued by the Bulgarian government – the market price is the price quoted by the Bulgarian National Bank or the primary dealers of government securities within the meaning of Ordinance № 5/ 1998;
  • Securities issued by Bulgarian nongovernmental issuers – market price of REUTERS;
  • Securities issued and guaranteed by foreign countries and securities issued by foreign nongovernmental issuers – market price of REUTERS.

Derivatives

Derivatives are off-balance financial instruments whose value is measured on the basis of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or other market prices. Derivatives are effective means to manage the market risk and to limit the exposure to specific counterparty.

Most frequently used derivatives are:

  • Currency swap;
  • Interest swap;
  • Floors and caps;
  • Forward currency and interest contracts;
  • Futures;
  • Options.

The conditions and time periods under the contracts are defined by means of standard documents.

With regard to derivatives, the same procedures for control of market and credit risk are applied, as for the other financial instruments. They are aggregated with the other exposures for the purposes of monitoring the general exposure to a specific counterparty and are managed within the frames of the limits approved for the respective counterparty.

Derivatives are held both for trading and as hedging instruments used for the management of the interest and currency risk. Derivatives held for trading are measured at fair value and profits and losses are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a result of trade operations.

Derivatives used as hedging instruments are recognised in accordance with the accounting treatment of the hedged item.

Criteria for recognition of a derivative as a hedging instrument is the existence of documented evidence for the intention to hedge a specific instrument and such hedging instrument should ensure reliable basis for elimination of the risk.

When a hedged exposure is closed, the hedging instrument is recognised as held for trading at fair value. The profit and loss are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, analogically to the hedged instrument.

Hedging transactions that are terminated before the hedged exposure are measured at fair value and the profit or loss are stated for the period of existence of the hedged exposure.

2.11 Taxes

Income tax

The current tax includes the tax amount, which should be paid over the expected taxable profit for the period on the basis of the effective tax rate or the tax rate applicable on the day of preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position and all adjustments of due tax for previous years.

Current income taxes of the Bulgarian Group companies are defined in compliance with the requirements of the Bulgarian tax legislation – the Corporate Income Tax Act. The nominal tax rate in Bulgaria for 2018 is 10 % (2017: 10%).

The foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation in accordance with the requirements of the respective tax legislations of the countries, with the following tax rates:

Country Tax rate
2018 2017
Romania 16% 16%
Macedonia 10% 10%
Ukraine 18% 18%

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method for all temporary differences between the book value as per the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

The deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be effective upon the realization of the asset or the settlement of the liability. The effect from changes in the tax rates on the deferred tax is reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except in cases when it concerns amounts, which are earlier accrued or reported directly in equity.

Deferred tax asset is recognised only to the amount to which it is expected to gain future profits against which unused tax losses or tax credit can be used. Deferred tax assets are decreased in accordance with the decrease of the probability for realisation of tax benefits.

As at 31.3.2018, the deferred income taxes of the Group companies are measured at a tax rate valid for 2018, which is in the amount of 10% for the Bulgarian companies, and for the foreign companies it is as follows:

Country Tax rate for 2018
Romania 16%
Macedonia 10%
Ukraine 18%

2.12. Non-current assets

2.12.1 Property, plant, machinery and equipment

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

The Group has fixed the value of capitalization threshold to BGN 700, under which acquired assets, regardless if they have the characteristics of fixed assets, are reported as current expenses at the time of acquisition thereof.

Initial acquisition

Fixed tangible assets are initially measured:

At acquisition cost, which includes: purchase price (including duties and non-refundable taxes), all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose – for assets acquired from external sources;

At fair value: for assets obtained as a result of a charitable transaction;

At evaluation: approved by the court and all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose – for assets acquired as a contribution of physical assets.

Borrowing costs directly related to acquisition, construction or production of eligible assets are included in the acquisition cost (cost) of this asset. All other borrowing costs are reported on current basis in the profit or loss for the period.

Subsequent measurement

The Group has chosen the cost model under IAS 16 – historic price of acquisition, less accrued amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, as an approach for subsequent book value of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent expenses

Subsequent expenses for repairs and maintenance are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss at the time of incurrence thereof, unless there is clear evidence that their incurrence will result in increased economic benefits from the use of the asset. In this case, these expenses are capitalized in the carrying amount of the asset.

Sales profits and losses

Upon sales of fixed assets, the difference between the book value and the sales price of the asset is reported as profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Fixed tangible assets are derecognized from the balance sheet upon sale or when the asset is finally decommissioned and no further economic benefits are expected after derecognition thereof.

Amortisation methods

The Group applies the straight-line method of amortization. Amortization of assets begins from the month following the month of acquisition thereof. Land and assets in process of construction are not depreciated. The useful life by groups of assets depends on: the usual wear and tear, equipment specificity, future intentions for use and the probable moral aging.

The estimated useful lives by groups of assets are as follows:

Group of assets Useful life
in years
Buildings 25-46
Plant and equipment 3-10
Vehicles 4-6
Fixtures and fittings 3-19
Computers 2-5

Impairment

The book values of fixed tangible assets are subject to review for impairment, when events or changes in circumstances have occurred, which evidence that the book value might permanently differ from their recoverable amount. If there are indicators that the estimated recoverable value is less than their net book value, the latter is adjusted up to the recoverable value of assets.

Impairment losses are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the year of occurrence thereof.

2.12.2 Fixed intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated in the consolidated financial statements at cost, less accrued amortisation and possible impairment losses.

The Group applies the straight-linear method for amortisation of intangible assets with fixed useful life of 5-7 years.

The book value of intangible assets is subject to review for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that identify that the book value could exceed their recoverable value.

2.12.3 Investment property

Investment property is a property that is held for the purposes generating income from rent or capital profit or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business of the Group, or for use of services or administrative needs.

Investment properties are measured on the basis of present fair value, whereas each change is stated as profit or loss.

2.13 Pension and other employee benefits under the labour and social legislation

Employment and social insurance relationships with workers and employees in the Group are governed by the provisions of the Labour Code and the provisions of the applicable social insurance legislation for the companies operating in Bulgaria, of the Romanian Code – for the companies in Romania, of the labour legislation for the companies in Ukraine, of the labour legislation for the companies in Macedonia.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at non-discounted basis and are stated as an expense whent the related services are provided. A liability is recongised for the amount that is expected to be paid under a short-term bonus in cash or profit sharing plans, provided the Group has legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of previous services provided by an employee, and this obligation may be reliably measured.

The Group recognises as an obligation the nondiscounted amount of measured expenses for paid annual leave expected to be paid to the employees in return of their service for the previous reporting period.

Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plan is a plan for postemployment benefits in accordance with which the Group pays contributions to another person and does not have any legal or constructive obligations to make further payments. The Bulgarian government is responsible for providing pensions under the defined contribution plans. The group's engagement costs for transferring contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised currently in profit and loss.

Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group has clear engagements, without actual opportunity to withdraw, with an official detailed plan either for termination of employment relations before the normal

retirement date, or for payment of compensation upon termination as a result of proposal for voluntary retirement.

Benefits upon voluntary retirement are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an official proposal for voluntary termination and the offer would be probably accepted, and the number of employees who has accepted the offer may be reliably measured. If compensations are payable for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted up to their present value.

2.14 Financial assets

2.14.1 Investments in non-current financial assets

Entities in which the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting right and have significant influence but is not able to exercise control functions, are considered associates.

Investments in associated companies are reported by using the equity method. By using the equity method, the investment in the associated company is carried in the statement of financial position at acquisition cost, plus the changes in the share in the net assets of the associated entity after the acquisition. The goodwill related to the associated entity is included in the net book value of the investment and is not amortized. The consolidated statement of profit or loss presents the results from the associate's business. The profit share is shown on the face side of the statement.

2.14.2 Investments in Financial Instruments

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets stated at fair value in the profit or loss, as loans and receivables, heldto-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets or derivatives defined as hedging instruments in effective hedge, where appropriate. The Group classifies its financial instruments at their initial recognition.

Financial assets of the Group include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, financial instruments and financial instrument derivatives quoted and unquoted on the stock exchange.

Cash

Cash comprise cash on hand, current accounts and short-term deposits in banks with original maturity of up to 3 moths.

Term deposits in banks

Bank deposits are receivables from banks from invested free monetary resources in the form of term deposits with original maturity exceeding 3 months. Deposits are measured and stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at amortised cost.

Financial Assets at Fair Value in Profit or Loss

Financial assets at fair value in profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value at inception.

Financial assets, which are usually acquired for the purposes of selling in the near term, are classified as held for trading.

Investments Held-to-Maturity

Investments held-to-maturity are financial assets, which are non-derivative and have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Initially, these investments are recognized at acquisition cost, which includes the amount of consideration paid for acquisition of the investment. All transaction costs directly related to the acquisition are also included in the acquisition cost. After the initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost by using the method of the effective interest rate. Gains and losses from held-to-maturity investments are recognized in the statement of profit or lost and other comprehensive income when the investment is derecognized or impaired.

Loans and Other Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Such financial assets are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which is the fair value paid for acquisition of financial assets. All directly attributable acquisition transaction costs are also included in the acquisition cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses from loans and receivables are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, when derecognized and impaired, as well as through the process of amortisation.

Financial Assets Available for Sale

Financial assets available for sale are nonderivative financial assets that are so classified and are not classified in any of the three categories listed above.

Initially, these investments are presented at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets available for sale are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses from fair value are carried in separate item of the other comprehensive income until the financial assets are not derecognized or are not defined as impaired. Upon derecognition or impairment, cumulative gains and losses previously recognized in equity, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are classified as held-for-trading, unless they are effective hedging instruments. All derivatives are carried as assets, when their fair values are positive and as liabilities when the fair values are negative.

2.15 Inventories

Supplies and goods are measured at delivery value. Their value is equal to the sum of all purchase costs as well as any other costs incurred in relation to the delivery thereof at their current location and condition.

Supplies and goods are derecognised at their consumption at specifically defined or mean weighted value, depending on the segments.

The net realisable value of inventories is stated at sales price, less the completion costs and the expenses incurred for the realisation of the sale and is defined with view of the marketing, moral aging and development of expected sales prices.

When the carrying amount of inventories is higher than their net realisable value, it is reduced to the amount of the net realisable value. The decrease is stated as other current expenses.

2.16 Short-term receivables

Receivables are measured at amortized cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value. Impairment is estimated for the purposes of meeting the expected loss on the basis of separate measurement of individual arrangements.

2.17 Liability provisions

Liability provisions include expected costs related to obligations under guarantees, restructuring, etc., as well as deferred tax assets.

2.18 Equity

Equity is presented at its nominal value pursuant to the court decisions for its registration.

Equity that is not held by the economic group /non-controlled participation/ is part of the net assets, including of the net result of the subsidiaries for the year, which may be attributed to participations that are not directly or indirectly held by the parent company.

2.19 Earning per share

The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period that is subject to distribution among shareholders – holders of ordinary shares, by the mean weighted number of ordinary shares held during the period.

The mean weighted number of shares is the number of ordinary shares held at the beginning of the period adjusted with the number of redeemed ordinary shares and the number of newly issued shares multiplied by the average time factor. Such factor expresses the number of days in which the respective shares have been held towards the total number of days during the period.

Upon capitalisation, bonus issue or fractioning, the number of outstanding ordinary shares until the date of such event is adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the number of outstanding ordinary shares as if the event has occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Earnings per shares with decreased value are not calculated as no potential shares with decreased value are issued.

2.20 Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized during the loan period with the amount of gained proceeds, principal, less the transaction expenses. During subsequent periods financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, equal to the capitalized value, when applying the effective interest rate method. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss, loan expenses are recognized during the loan term period.

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

Deferred income recognised as liabilities comprise received payments in terms of income for subsequent years.

2.21 Financial Risk Management

Factors Determining Financial Risk

While operating, the Group companies are exposed to diverse financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, risk from change of financial instrument fair value under the impact of market interest rates and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and risk from change of future cash flows due to a change in market interest rates.

The overall risk management program emphasizes the unpredictability of financial markets and is aimed at mitigating the possible adverse effects on the Group's financial result.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk through payments in foreign currency and through its assets and liabilities, which are denominated in foreign currency. As a result of exposures in foreign currency, profits and losses are generated which are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These exposures are the monetary assets of the Group which are not denominated in the currency used in the financial statements of the local companies.

In case the local currency is exposed to a significant currency risk, its management is achieved through investments in assets denominated in euro.

Interest risk

The Group is exposed to interest risk in relation to the used trade loans, as some of the received borrowings have floating interest rate agreed as a base interest (EURIBOR/LIBOR) increased with a specific margin. Borrowings with floating interest rates are denominated in euro. The amount of interest rates is described in the respective notes.

Credit risk

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

The amounts stated in the consolidated statement of financial position are on net basis, excluding the provisions for doubtful receivables determined as such by the management on the basis of previous experience and current economic conditions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in servicing its financial obligations when they become payable. Policy in this field is aimed at ensuring that there will be enough cash available to service its maturing obligations, including in exceptional and unforeseen conditions. The management's objective is to maintain continuous balance between continuity and flexibility of financial resources by using adequate forms of funding.

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

2.22 Measuring Fair Values

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • on the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the entity may have access to as at the date of measurement;
  • Ниво 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
  • Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

External valuers are involved for valuation of the fair value of significant assets, such as goodwill and investment property.

2.23 Cash flows

Consolidated statement of cash flows shows the cash flows of the Group for the year in relation to the operating, invenstment and financial activity during the year, the change in cash and cash equivalents for the year, cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the year.

The operating cash flows are calculated as result for the year adjusted with the non-cash operating positions, changes in net turnover capital and corporate tax.

Investment activity cash flows include payments in relation to purchase and sale of fixed assets and cash flows related to the purchase and sale of entities and operations. Purchase and sale of other securities which are not cash and cash equivalents are also included in the investment activity.

Financial activity cash flows include changes in the amount or composition of share capital and the related costs, the borrowings and the repayment of interest-bearing loans, purchase, and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.
