The Group anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application. Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Company's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39 Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the reporting date.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on the going concern principle, as it is expected that the Group shall continue its operating activity in near future.
A military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues during the reporting period, but since the Group does not have transactions and accounts with customers from these two countries, management believes that this event is not expected to directly or indirectly affect the Group's results and financial position in the future.
The military conflict between Israel and Palestina that broke donw after the end of the quarter is expected to have no negative effect on financial position of the Group.
Management has no plans or intentions to sell the business or cease operations, which could materially change the carrying amount or classification of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements. The assessment of assets and liabilities and the measurement of income and expenses is made in compliance with the historical cost principle. This principle is modified in specific cases by the revaluation of certain assets and/or liabilities to their fair value as of September 30 of the current year and December 31 of the previous year, as indicated in the relevant notes below

The reporting currency for the elements of the consolidated financial statements is the Bulgarian lev (BGN), which is the functional currency of Shelly Group AD.
The data in the elements of the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of BGN, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The amounts over BGN 500 are rounded up to 1 thousand for disclosure in the consolidated financial statements and the notes.
The companies of the Group keep their accounting registers in the functional currency of the country in which they operate. The effects of exchange differences relating to the settlement of foreign currency transactions or the reporting of transactions in a foreign currency at rates that are different from those at which they were originally recognised shall be included in the statement of comprehensive income at the time they arise, treated as <other operating income and expenses= except those related to investments and loans denominated in foreign currency, which are presented as <finance income= and <finance expenses=. Non-monetary assets and liabilities originally denominated in a foreign currency are accounted for in a functional currency using the historical exchange rate at the date of the transaction and subsequently not revalued at a closing rat.
According to the Bulgarian accounting legislation and IAS, the financial year ends on December 31 and enterprises are required to present annual financial statements as of the same date, together with comparative data as of that date for the previous year. In its intermediary reports the Group presents comparison between current year period and the same period of previous year for the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Cash Flow Statement.
If necessary, the data presented for the previous year are adjusted for better comparability with the data from the current period.
A transaction in foreign currency is recognized initially in the functional currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate (spot) between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the time of the transaction or operation.
At each date of financial statement preparation:
(a) monetary positions, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are recalculated into the functional currency using the exchange rate published by the BNB on the last business day of the respective month;

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated
(b) non-monetary items held at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, if an exchange rate other than that of the transaction (average monthly, daily or other) is applied; and
(c) non-monetary items held at fair value in a foreign currency are recalculated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency exchange differences are recognized in accordance with IAS 21 the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
The items of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income of foreign companies of the Group, using a functional currency other than Bulgarian lev, are retranslated into BGN to be included in the consolidated statement of the Group as follows:
The application of the IAS requires the Company's management to apply certain accounting assumptions and judgments when preparing the annual separate financial statement and when determining the value of some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and contingent assets and liabilities.
All assessments are based on the management's best judgment as of the date of preparation of these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those presented in these financial statements.
In preparing these financial statements, the management used judgments related to the following items:

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated
Subsidiaries are the entities over which Shelly Group AD is in control as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.
The parent-company (the investor) controls the investee company if it has:
Subsidiaries are considered controlled starting from the date on which control is acquired by the Group and they cease to be consolidated on the date when it is assumed that the control has been lost.
Associated company is a company in which the Group has significant influence on decisions regarding operating and financial policies, but without being able to fully control those policies.
Non-controlling interest is valued at the proportionate share of identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the parent company and the subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, capital, income, expenses and cash flows of the group companies are presented as such as they belong to just one entity.
Subsidiaries are those entities that are controlled by the parent company. Control occurs when the parent company exercises its rights on variable return arising from its participation in the subsidiary's capital and has the ability to influence this return from investment through its power. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies with respect to similar transactions and business facts of all companies in the Group. All mutual interests, as well as significant internal transactions, balances and unrealized gains in the Group are eliminated and the financial statements are prepared using the full consolidation method. The financial results of operations of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition of control over them and cease to be consolidated from the date on which such control is lost. When a subsidiary is acquired as a result of an internal group restructuring,

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated its net assets and financial result are included from the beginning of the earliest accounting period presented
in the financial statements.
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
The Group sells electronic devices both to the wholesale market and directly to customers through its own website and through direct sales. Sales-related warranties associated with the products cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications. Accordingly, the Group accounts for warranties in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (see note 3.19).
For sales of electronic equipment to the wholesale market, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the wholesaler's specific location (delivery). Following delivery, the wholesaler has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, and bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Group when the goods are dispatched to the wholesaler as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
For sales of goods to retail customers, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being at the point the customer purchases the goods. Payment of the transaction price is due
when the customer receives the goods.
For internet sales, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the customer, being at the point the goods are shipped to the customer's specific location. When the customer initially purchases the goods online the transaction price received by the Group is recognised as a contract liability until the goods have been delivered to the customer.
Under the Group's standard contract terms, customers have a right of return within 14 days. At the same time, the Group has a right to recover the product when customers exercise their right of return so consequently recognises a right to returned goods asset and a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales.

The Group uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns on a portfolio level using the expected value method. It is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur given the consistent level of returns over previous years.
The Group reports revenue from services, complying with the commitments under the contract. Revenue from services is reported upon final completion of the services (by objects) recognized as performed
Other income and revenue are recognized when the right to receive them is established.
The Group of companies apply IFRS 15 and the management carefully examines its trade practices for possible
changes at the time of revenue recognition. No change in the performance obligations and the price allocation
in the contracts and revenue recognition is needed for the reporting period.
Depending on the nature of the activity and the contracts with customers, the management has assessed the categories of revenue breakdown and has disclosed them in Note 4.01
Expenses for future periods shall be deferred for recognition as current expenses in the period in which the obligations under the contracts to which they refer, would be performed.
Financial expenses consist of interest expenses and other direct costs related to loans as well as bank fees and losses from foreign currency exchange.
Property, plant and equipment (non-current tangible assets) are presented in the financial statements at acquisition cost (cost price) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Upon initial acquisition, property, plant and equipment are evaluated at acquisition cost (cost price), which includes the purchase price, including customs charges and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition. The direct costs are as follows: costs of site preparation, costs of initial delivering and handling, installation costs, costs for personnel remuneration fees related to the project, non-refundable taxes, etc.
This document is a translation from the original Bulgarian text, in case of divergence the Bulgarian text shall prevail Page 18 of 64 When acquiring property, plant and equipment on a deferred payment basis, the purchase price is equivalent

to the present value of the liability, discounted on the basis of the interest rate on the borrowed resources of the Group with a similar maturity and purpose. The difference between the cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognized as interest over the course of the loan, unless it is capitalized in accordance with IAS 23.
The approach chosen by the Group for the subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment is the acquisition cost model - less any subsequent depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. For all other classes of non-current tangible assets, the company has applied the acquisition cost mode.
The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation of non-current tangible assets. Depreciation of assets begins when they are available for use. The useful life by groups of assets is determined in accordance with: physical wear and tear, specifics of the equipment, future intentions for use and actual obsolescence.
The useful life by classes of assets is as follows:
| Vehicles | 4 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 25 years |
| Computer equipment | 2-5 years |
| Office equipment | 5- 6,67 years |
| Other non-current tangible assets | 6,67 years |
The determined useful life of non-current tangible assets is reviewed at the end of each year and, if significant deviations are found against future expectations for the useful life of the assets, it is adjusted prospectively.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is written off: when it is sold, when no other economic benefits are expected from its use, or when it is disposed.
Gains or losses arising on the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment are included in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is written off. Gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets are determined when the proceeds from sale (disposal) are reduced by the book value of the asset and the costs related to the sale. They are stated net, to "Other operating income" in the statement of comprehensive. income.

The amount of consideration to be included in the gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined in accordance with the requirements for determining the transaction price in paragraphs 47–72 of IFRS 15. Subsequent changes to the estimated amount of the consideration included in the gain or loss shall be accounted for in accordance with the requirements for changes in the transaction price in IFRS 15.
Intangible assets are presented in the financial statements at acquisition price (cost price) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The Group applies a straight-line method of depreciation of intangible assets with a useful life of 2 years for the software products, 6.67 years for the software platform, 3 years for an ISO certificate.
The book value of the intangible assets is reviewed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the book value amount could exceed their recoverable amount. Then the impairment is included as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
Externally generated intangible assets on their acquisition are measured at acquisition price, which includes purchase price, import duties, non-refundable taxes and expenses of preparing the asset for its intended use. The direct expenses are: costs of employee benefits (as defined in IAS 19) arising directly from bringing the asset to its working condition; professional fees arising directly from bringing the asset to its working condition; costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly, expenses for fees of persons related to the project, non-refundable taxes, etc.
Intangible assets are recognized if they meet the definition of intangible assets set out in IAS 38 Intangible Assets, namely:

Expenses related to the maintenance of initially established standard efficiency, incurred after the commissioning of intangible non-current assets, are recognized as current at the time when they are incurred. The carrying amount of the respective intangible asset is adjusted by the expenses that lead to increase of the expected future economic benefits form the use of an intangible asset above the initially determined standard efficiency.
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Initially, it is presented in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition cost and subsequently it is presented at acquisition cost less impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized.
The goodwill originating as a result of the acquisition of a subsidiary is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a part of non-current assets and the goodwill originating as a result of acquisition of joint-ventures or associated companies is included in the total value of investment and is reported as <investments in associated companies=.
The goodwill associated with the acquisition of associated companies is tested as part of the total value of the investment. Separately recognized goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested mandatorily for impairment at least once annually. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed subsequently. Gains or losses on sale (disposal) of a subsidiary of the Group also include the book value of the goodwill, associated with the sold (disposed) company.
Any goodwill amount recognized in the financial statements is attributable to a certain cash generating object at the time a business combination is completed, and this object is applied when tests for impairment are conducted. For determining the cash-generating objects, are considered only objects that are expected to generate future economic benefits and that are subject to the business combination, which generated the goodwill.
Losses from impairment of goodwill are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (in profit or loss for the year) as part of item <Impairment of non-current assets=

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated
Other long-term financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in the form of shares and participation of other companies (minority interest) held with a long-term perspective.
Capital investments are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which is the fair value of the remuneration paid, including direct acquisition cost of the investment (the financial asset). All purchases and sales of capital investments are recognized on the <trading date= of the transaction, i.e., the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Capital investments owned by the Group are subsequently measured at fair value. The results of the subsequent measurement to fair value are presented in the statement of comprehensive income (in other components of comprehensive income) and respectively in the reserve related to financial assets at fair value, through other comprehensive income. These results are transferred to retained earnings on disposal (sale) of the respective investment.
These investments are reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group by the equity method. By this method, the share of the Group in the comprehensive income of an associated company is consolidated on one line, so that the value of the investment corresponds to its share in the net assets as of December 31 for the respective year or at the end of the respective reporting period. The Group recognizes its share in losses in associated companies up to the amount of its investment, including internal loans granted, unless it has undertaken an obligation to pay such liabilities on behalf of the associated company.
As of September 30, 2023 Group reports a share in the profit of associated companies amounting to 58 thousand BGN. The value of the investment indicated in the consolidated statement of financial position has been increased by the same amount.
Inventories are accounted at the lower of the two following values: price for acquisition (cost) and net realizable value.
The costs incurred to bring an inventory to its present condition and location are included in the cost of acquisition (cost) as follows:
recoverable taxes and other costs incurred in order to bring the goods in ready for use state.
In the use (sale) of inventory, the weighted average method is used.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated
A financial instrument is any contract that simultaneously gives rise to both a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the separate statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the relevant financial instrument that gave rise to this asset or liability.
Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified as financial assets that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value in other comprehensive income (OCI) and as financial assets at fair value in profit or loss. Financial assets are classified upon their initial acquisition according to the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset and the Group's business management model. The Group initially measures the financial asset at fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, and for which the Group has applied a practically expedient measure, are stated at the transaction price determined according to IFRS 15. The Group reclassifies financial assets only when its business model changes.
In order to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value in OCI, the financial asset should generate cash flows that represent " solely payments of principal and interest" (SPPI) on the outstanding principal amount. This measurement is called the "SPPI test= and is performed at the relevant instrument level. The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Company manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will arise from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets, the terms of which require the delivery of the assets within a certain period of time, usually established by a regulatory provision or current practice in the relevant market (regular purchases), are recognized on the date of trading (transaction), i.e. on the date on which the Group has committed to buy or sell the asset.
For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into four categories:
loss (debt instruments);

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated
The Group's financial assets at amortized cost include trade and other receivables, term deposits and cash at bank accounts:
The Group measures its debt instruments at fair value in other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
In respect of debt instruments at fair value in other comprehensive income, interest income, currency revaluation and impairment losses or their reversal are recognized in profit or loss and calculated in the same way as those for financial assets measured at amortized cost. Other changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative change in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income is stated in profit or loss.
Upon initial recognition, the Group may elect to classify irrevocably as equity instruments designated as measured at fair value in other comprehensive income when they meet the equity requirements under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and when they are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an individual instrument basis. These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term purpose and accordingly, the Group elected to designate them as equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income as it believes that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments fair

value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long term purposes.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never "recycled" in profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as income in the statement of comprehensive income when the right to payment is established, except when the Group derives benefits from these receipts as a refund of part of the acquisition price of the financial asset, in which case the gains are reported in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments designated as measured at fair value in other comprehensive income are not in the scope of IFRS 9 expected credit loss model.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that do not qualify for classification at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets designated at initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are classified as held for trading unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value in profit or loss, regardless of the business model.
Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value in other comprehensive income as described above, debt instruments may be designated as measured at fair value in profit or loss upon initial recognition, if thus eliminates or substantially reduces the accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are reflected in the statement of financial position at fair value, and the net changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (i.e. removed from the Group's statement of financial position) when:
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or entered into a transfer agreement, it evaluates whether and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, nor has it transferred control over it, it still recognizes the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated involvement in it
In this case, the Group also recognizes the related obligation. The transferred asset and related liability are valued on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. A continuing involvement being a security of the transferred asset is valued at the lower of the original book value of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group may be required to pay. The Group applies the same derecognition policies for impaired financial assets.
Additional disclosures related to impairment of financial assets, are included in the following notes as wel:
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) for all debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. ECL are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due under the terms of the contract and any cash flows the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Expected cash flows include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are an integral part of the terms of the contract.
ECL are recognized in three stages. For exposures for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Allowances for ECL are recognized for credit losses that arise as a result of default events that are possible occur within the next 12 months (12-month ECL). For exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, an allowance for expected credit loss is required in respect of credit losses expected over the remaining term of the exposure, regardless of when the default occurs (ECL over the lifetime of the instrument). A significant increase in credit risk is observed in the case of material financial difficulties of the debtor, probability of declaring bankruptcy and liquidation, financial restructuring or inability to repay the debt (overdue for more than 30 days) are taken as an indicator for impairment of the asset.
Regarding cash and cash equivalents, the Group applies the credit ratings of the banks and publicly available information on default rates for banks for in order to prepare an impairment assessment. The Group uses historical experience in order to determined loss given default. As significant increase in credit risk has not been identified, the Group applies 12-month ECL.

The Group considers a financial instrument in default when contractual payments are overdue for 90 days. However, in certain cases, it may consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information provides an indication that it is unlikely that the Group will receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit improvements. All financial assets measured at amortized cost are subject to collective impairment, except for those in default (phase 3).
Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, incl. derivatives or as financial liabilities at amortized value, incl. loans and other borrowings and trade and other payable as appropriate. Initially, all financial liabilities are recognized at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowed funds and liabilities, net of direct transaction costs.
The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank loans and lease liabilities.
Financial liabilities are measured according to their classification as specified below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as such at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for repurchase in the near future. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the date of initial recognition only if the criteria of IFRS 9 are met. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group's financial liabilities at amortized cost are reported at amortized cost after applying the effective
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is exchanged with another from the same creditor under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially changed, this exchange or modification is treated as extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognition of a new financial liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The main financial instruments included in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group are

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated presented below.
Trade receivables are amounts owed by customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are usually due for short-term settlement and are therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are initially recognized at the amount of the unconditional consideration due, unless they contain significant financing components. The Group holds trade receivables for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest method. No discounting is applied when the effect is immaterial.
Future cash flows determined for a group of financial assets that are collectively measured for impairment are determined on the basis of historical information regarding financial assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the characteristics of the group of financial assets.
Assets that are subject to individual impairment are not included in an impairment group.
The Group applies a simplified approach in recognizing impairment of trade and other receivables and recognizes loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. In estimating expected credit losses on trade receivables, the Company uses a provision matrix
When estimating expected credit losses on trade receivables, the Group uses its historical experience of credit losses on trade receivables to estimate the expected credit losses for the entire life of the financial asset.
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, which is formed by the cash proceeds received, less the inherent transaction costs. After their initial recognition, interest-bearing loans are measured at amortized cost, where any difference between the initial cost and the maturity value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the loan by applying the effective interest method.
Finance costs, including direct borrowing costs, are included in profit or loss using the effective interest method, except for transaction costs on bank overdrafts, which are recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis for the period, for which the overdraft was agreed upon.
Loans are classified as current when they are to be settled within twelve months from the end of the reporting period.
Trade and other payables arise as a result of goods or services received. Current liabilities are not amortized. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Cash includes cash on hand and current accounts, and cash equivalents include short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of less than 3 months. The consolidated statement of cash flows is presented using the direct method.
Cash and cash equivalents are subsequently presented at amortised cost, excluding the accumulated allowance for expected credit losses.
On the effective date of the contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. In particular, whether the contract transfers the right to control the use of the identified asset for a certain period of time.
The Group applies a unified approach to the recognition and assessment of all leases, except for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of up to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities for the payment of lease instalments and right-of-use assets, representing the right to use the assets.
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets from the inception date of the lease (i.e. the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any revaluation of lease liabilities.
The acquisition cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of recognized lease liabilities, the initial direct costs incurred and the lease payments made on or before the inception date of the lease, an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and relocating the asset, the restoration of the site on which it is located or the restoration of the asset to the condition required under the terms of the lease, less any incentives received under the lease. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If at the end of the lease term the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Group, or the acquisition cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the expected useful life of the asset.

lease payments to be made during the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any eligible lease incentives, variable lease payments depending on an index or an interest rate, and amounts that are expected to be paid under guarantees for residual value. Lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, as well as penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group's exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Variable lease payments, not depending on an index or an interest rate, are recognised as expense in the period in which the event or condition triggering the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses an intrinsic interest rate at the inception date of the lease because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined reliably. After the inception date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased by the interest and reduced by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is revalued, if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (for example, changes in future payments resulting from a change in the index or interest rate used to determine those lease payments) or a change in the measurement of the option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group applies recognition exemption for short-term leases to its short-term building leases (for example, leases with lease term of 12 months or less from the inception date and not containing a purchase option). The Group also applies the recognition exemption of low-value assets leases to leases of office equipment which is considered low-value. Lease payments on short-term leases and low-value assets leases are carried as an expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term.
This document is a translation from the original Bulgarian text, in case of divergence the Bulgarian text shall prevail Page 30 of 64 Provisions are recognised when the Group has a current (constructive or legal) liability as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the repayment/settlement of this liability will involve an outflow of resources. Provisions are estimated based on management's best estimate as at the date of preparation of the financial statements of the costs necessary to settle the respective liability. The estimate is discounted when the maturity is long-term. When part of the resources to be used to settle the liability is expected to be recovered by a third party, the Group recognises a receivable in case it is highly probable to be received, its value can be reliably

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated measured as well as an income (credit) under the same item in the consolidated statement of financial position, where the provision itself is presented.
The Group charges warranty service provisions. Liabilities for warranty service provisions are accrued based on management's best judgment of the potential amount of costs that the Group will incur upon the occurrence of a warranty event, based on the accumulated experience of goods/products sold.
The Government of Bulgaria is responsible for providing pensions under defined benefit plans. The liabilities under the Group commitment to transfer accrued amounts to defined benefit plans are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when they are incurred.
The Group recognises as a liability the undiscounted amount of the estimated costs of paid annual leave, in accordance with the Labor Code and its internal rules, expected to be paid to employees in exchange for their labor for the past reporting period.
In accordance with the requirements of the Labor Code, upon termination of the employment contract of an employee who has acquired the right to a pension, the Group pays the employee a compensation in the amount of two gross salaries, if the accumulated service at the Group is less than ten years, or six gross salaries, in case of accumulated service time at the Group of over ten consecutive years.
Based on their characteristics, these schemes are retirement benefit plans.
The measurement of long-term employee benefits is carried out using the projected unit credit method and the estimate at the date of the statement of financial position is made by licensed actuaries. The amount recognised in the statement of financial position is the present value of the liabilities. The revaluations of the retirement benefit plan liability (actuarial gain or loss), arising from experience and changes in actuarial financial and demographic assumptions, are recognised in equity through other comprehensive income as a reserve for retirement liabilities. The amounts released from this reserve are transferred through other comprehensive income into retained earnings.
The Group has adopted the capital maintenance financial concept. Maintaining the share capital is assessed in nominal monetary units. Profit for the reporting period is considered acquired only if the cash /financial/

Allterco AD is a joint-stock company and is obliged to register in the Commercial Register a certain amount of share capital to serve as collateral for the claims of creditors of the Parent Company. The shareholders are responsible for the Parent Company's liabilities up to the amount of their shareholding in the capital and can claim the return of this shareholding only in bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. The Parent Company reports its share capital at the nominal value of the shares registered in court.
Equity is the residual value of the Group company's assets after deducting all of their liabilities. It includes:
Share capital is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at nominal value per share according to the number of shares issued.
Financial result is the difference between the revenue and the related costs charged
Equity is reported less the distributed dividends of the owned shares during the period in which they will be distributed (by decision of the General Meeting).
According to the requirements of the Commerce Act and the Articles of Association of the Parent Company Allterco AD, the Group is obliged to allocate reserves at the expense of:
Repurchased own shares are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost (acquisition price), with their gross purchase price reduced by the Group's equity capital. Profit or loss from the sale of repurchased own shares are presented directly in the Group's equity, under the "Repurchased shares
In past periods, the Group reported share-based payments to employees in Bulgarian subsidiaries. Share-based payments to employees related to services rendered are settled through equity instruments. Transferred capital instruments are measured at their fair value on the date of transfer. Share-based payment expense is recognised in the period in which the services are received.
Reserve from recalculation of the currency of the presented foreign activity – arises from the net effects of the translation of the accounts of subsidiaries abroad from their functional currencies into Bulgarian leva, for consolidation purposes.
Revaluation reserve is the difference between the previous book value of fixed assets reported at fair value through other comprehensive income and their fair values as of the date of this consolidated financial

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated statements.
Income tax expense is the amount of current income tax and the tax effect on temporary tax differences. Current taxes on the profit of Bulgarian companies are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Bulgarian tax legislation. The nominal tax rate in Bulgaria for 2022 and 2023 is 10% Subsidiaries abroad are charged according to the requirements of the relevant tax laws by country, at the following nominal tax rates:
| Country | Nominal tax rates per year | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |||
| Germany | 15,825% | 15,825% | ||
| USA | 15-35% | 15-35 % | ||
| Slovenia | 19% | - |
Deferred income tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognised only if likely to be reversed and if the Group will be able to generate sufficient profit in the future from which they can be deducted.
The effect of recognising deferred tax assets and/or liabilities is reported where the effect of the event that gave rise to them is presented.
For events affecting profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
For events that are initially recognised in equity (revaluation reserve) deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are presented offset the consolidated statement of financial position as they are subject to a uniform taxation regime in the country.
As of September 30, 2023 the Group recognises corporate income tax expense only for Bulgarian companies and at a 10% tax rate and for the German company assessed at tax rate 20%.
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares held for the period.
This document is a translation from the original Bulgarian text, in case of divergence the Bulgarian text shall prevail Page 33 of 64 The weighted average number of shares is the number of ordinary shares held at the beginning of the period,

adjusted by the number of ordinary shares repurchased and newly issued during the period, multiplied by the time average factor. This factor represents the number of days particular shares were held compared to the total number of days during the period.
Diluted earnings per share are not calculated because there are no potentially diluted shares issued.
When applying the accounting policy, the Group's management makes certain estimates that have a significant effect on these financial statements. Such estimates, by definition, rarely equal actual results.
Given their nature, these estimates are subject to ongoing review and updating and summarize historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes are reasonable under current circumstances.
Estimates and assumptions that carry a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are set out below.
The employee defined benefit obligation is determined by actuarial valuation. This estimate requires assumptions on the discount rate, future wage growth, staff turnover and mortality rates. Due to the long-term nature of defined benefit plans, these assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty. The Group prepared an actuarial valuation of defined benefits and reported them in the consolidated financial statements at the end
of 2022 (note 3.17). At the end of the current reporting period, the company has not prepared a new actuarial assessment.
Financial reporting of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes the use of estimates of their expected useful lives and carrying amounts, based on the Group management's judgments.
Management estimates the volume and timing of expected future cash flows related to receivables based on experience versus current circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of this estimate, actual results may differ. Group's management compares prior year estimates with actual results.
The Group uses a simplified approach in reporting trade and other receivables and recognises an impairment loss as expected credit losses over the entire term. They represent the expected shortfall in contractual cash flows, given the possibility of default at any point in the life of the financial instrument. The Group uses its

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated experience, external indicators and information to calculate expected credit losses in the long-term.
Impairments recognised for the reporting period.
At the date of each financial statement, the Group's management organizes an impairment review of property, plant and equipment.
As of 30 September 2023, such a review was carried out, as a result of which management considered that no impairment indicators were available. No impairment loss on property, plant and equipment is reported in the financial statements.
At the date of each financial statement, the Group's management reviews and analyses existing inventories. An overview and analysis of all available inventories is made in terms of basic indicators – uniformity, commercial appearance, shelf life, etc., and determines expert prices. The proposed expert prices are consistent with the prices reached under concluded contracts for realization on the domestic and foreign markets, the dynamics of supply and demand of inventories, the latest price levels, and trends in transactions with similar inventories. For the calculation of the net realisable value of individual types of inventories, the estimated direct costs associated with sales are excluded from expertly determined selling prices. When assessing the inventories for which sales contracts are concluded, the net realisable value is determined based on the contract price less the cost of sales. Inventories not tied to sales contracts are valued according to assumptions about the possibilities for their future disposal. Based on this review and analysis, no impairment of existing inventories was made as of 31 December 2022.
The impairment of inventories is calculated as the difference between their carrying amount, as set out in the statement of financial position prior to review and analysis, and their net realisable value, determined based on expert prices as set out above.
The companies in the group are tax entities under the jurisdiction of the tax administration in the country in which they operate. A significant assessment needs to be made to determine the tax provision. There are numerous examples for which the tax finally determined is unspecified in the normal course of business. Group companies recognise liabilities for expected tax liabilities based on the judgement of the management of the relevant company and the Group. When the final tax result of such events is different from the amounts originally reported, those differences will affect current income tax and deferred tax provisions in the tax revisions period.
This document is a translation from the original Bulgarian text, in case of divergence the Bulgarian text shall prevail Page 35 of 64 Determining the lease term for contracts with renewal and termination options - The Group as lessee The Group defines the lease term as the irrevocable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an

option to extend it if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, or any periods covered by a
termination option if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised (note 3.16).
Some of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require a fair value measurement of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable data as far as possible.
Fair values are categorized at different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability can be categorized at different levels of the
fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety at that level of the fair value hierarchy whose input information is relevant to the overall assessment..
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in
which the change occurs. In the first six months of 2023 and 2022 there have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value
hierarchy.
More information on the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the relevant notes.

The fair value of the bank loan that the Group is using, is determined based on market interest rate applicable for similar instruments with similar term.
The Group does not work with derivative instruments.
During their usual business activity, the companies from the Group could be exposed to various financial risks, the most important of which are: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management is focused on forecasting changes in financial markets in order to minimize the potential negative effects that could affect the financial results. Financial risks are currently identified, measured and monitored using various control mechanisms to adequately assess market conditions and their effects by the companies of the Group to avoid unjustified concentration of any specific risk.
Risk management is carried out on an ongoing basis under the direct supervision of the management and the Group's financial experts in accordance with the policy set by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company who developed the basic principles of general financial risk management. Based on these principles, the specific procedures for managing separate specific financial risks have been defined.
The following describes the different types of risks to which the companies within the Group are exposed, as well as the approach taken in managing these risks.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.
The companies within the Group carry out their transactions on the domestic market, in the European Union and in third countries (Asia and USA). The companies within the Group carry out their main deliveries in

Bulgarian leva, euros and US dollars. To control the currency risk, a system has been introduced for planning supplies from countries in and outside the European Union, as well as procedures for monitoring movements in exchange rates of foreign currencies and control of incoming payments.

There is a currency risk exposure mainly in USD and Norway kroner (NOK). As of 30.09.2023 79% of Groups assets are in EUR, 9% in USD and 2% in Norwegian krone.
In the table below, a sensitivity analysis is presented to the possible changes in the exchange rate BGN/USD and BGN/NOK and the profit before taxes (through changes in the book values of monetary assets and liabilities), provided that all other variables are assumed to be constant.

| 2023 | +/-1.00% | 60 | +/-1.00% | 14 |
| 2022 | +/-1.00% | 102 | +/-1.00% | 14 |
The change in the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone also has an effect on other components of equity. With a 1% change in the exchange rate, the effect on other capital components, provided that all other variables are assumed to be constant, would be 8 thousand BGN.
The companies within the Group are exposed to a specific price risk regarding the prices of the goods and services offered. Minimizing the price risk for negative price changes is achieved by periodically reviewing contractual relationships and revising and updating prices in relation to market changes.

As of September 30, 2023, the Group owns 460 000 shares of the capital of Link Mobility Group, which are traded on regulated market. The value of one share at market close as of 30.09.2023 is 12.86 NOK or the total value of the owned securities amounts to 5 915 600 NOK (1 028 thousand BGN). If the quote changes by 1% the value of the shares will change by BGN 8 thousand.
The companies within the Group do not have a significant concentration of interest-bearing assets, except for cash on current accounts with banks, therefore the revenue and operating cash flows are not largely dependent on changes in market interest rates.
At the same time, the cash outflows of the companies within the Group are exposed to interest rate risk from

The financial assets of the companies within the Group are concentrated in two groups: cash (cash on hand and at bank accounts) and receivables from clients.

Credit risk is mainly the risk that the customers of the companies within the Group will not be able to pay in full and within the usual deadlines the amounts owed by them. Trade receivables are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at amortized cost. An impairment has been charged for doubtful and uncollectible loans, as there have been events identifying uncollectible losses based on past experience.
The companies within the Group do not have significant concentration of credit risk. Their policy is to negotiate a credit period longer than 60 days only with customers who have a long history and commercial cooperation with them. Payments from customers for sales are mainly made by bank transfer.
Significant part of Group's revenue is generated by mobile operators or other customers, which in most cases are large companies with good credit rating.
The collection and concentration of receivables is monitored on an ongoing basis, according to the established policy of the companies within the Group. For this purpose, the open positions by clients, as well as the received receipts, are periodically reviewed by the financial and accounting department and the management, and an analysis of the unpaid amounts is performed.
As of September 30, 2023 cash and the payment operations of the companies within the Group are spread over several banks which limits the risk for cash and cash equivalents.
Management has defined its policy for assessing credit losses. For trade receivables, the simplified method is applied, with percentages determined based on past experience.
As of September 30, 2023, the Group receivables in the amount of 91 thousand BGN were written off and there were no impairment charges on receivables. As of December 31, 2022, receivables amounting to BGN 1 444 thousand are reported as written-off by the Group and BGN 441 thousand are recognised as impairment of receivables.

With the capital management the Parent Company aims to create and maintain opportunities for it to continue to operate as a going concern and to ensure the appropriate return on investment of shareholders, and to maintain optimal capital structure, to reduce capital expenses.
Shelly Group AD currently monitors the capital structure based on the debt ratio. This ratio is calculated between the net debt capital and the total amount of capital. Net debt capital is defined as the difference between all borrowings (current and non-current) as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position and the cash and cash equivalents. The total amount of capital is equal to the equity and net debt capital.
The table below presents the debt ratios based on the capital structure:

| Debt ratio | 0.00% | 0.00% |
As the cash is larger than the debt capital, the Company has no indebtedness.
For the purposes of disclosing fair value, the Group defines different classes of assets and liabilities depending on their nature, characteristics and risk and the respective level of the fair value hierarchy specified in note 2.11.18. Fair Values.

The attached table shows the book values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information is not included if the book value is reasonably close to the fair value.
The table below presents the hierarchy of the fair value of the Group's assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 13:

The fair value of the financial liabilities included in Level 2 in the table above was determined in accordance with the generally accepted valuation model based on discounted cash flows, the interest rate on the loan was used as a discount factor.
The fair value of trade receivables, short-term financial assets, trade payables and other liabilities approximates their carrying amount as these assets/liabilities are short-term in nature and there are not subject to effects, that lead to different fair value.
The fair value of financial assets included in Level 1 is determined using the market quotation for the price of the asset at the reporting date.

The risks associated with the core business of the Company can generally be divided into systemic (general) and non-systemic (related specifically to its business and the industry in which it operates). Relevant for the Company are also the similar categories of risks inherent in the company business and the industry in which its subsidiaries operate, insofar as they are the main source of the Company9s income. Separately, investors in the Company9s financial instruments are also exposed to risks related to the investments in securities themselves (derivative and underlying).
Systemic risks are related to the market and the macro environment in which the Company operates, which is why they cannot be managed and controlled by the Company9s management team. Systemic risks are: political risk, macroeconomic risk, inflation risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, tax risk and unemployment risk.
| Type of risk | Description |
|---|---|
| POLITICAL RISK | Political risk is the likelihood of a change of Government, or of a sudden change in its policy, of occurrence of internal political turmoil and adverse changes in European and/or national legislation, as a result of which the environment in which local businesses operate will change negatively, and investors will incur losses. April 2023, there were held early parliamentary elections for the Ordinary National Assembly and as of the date of this Interim report, as a result of which a regular government of the two first political formations is formed. |
| Political risks for Bulgaria internationally are related to the commitments undertaken to implement serious structural reforms in the country in its capacity as an equal member of the EU, increasing social stability, limiting inefficient spending, on the one hand, as well as the strong destabilization of the countries of The Middle East, military interventions and conflicts in the region of the former Soviet Union, the refugee waves generated by these factors, and the potential instability of other key countries in the immediate proximity of the Balkan |
|
| Other factors that also affect this risk are the possible legislative changes and in particular those concerning the economic and investment climate in the country. |
|
| GENERAL MACROECONOMIC RISK |
According to the National Statistical Institute, in September 2023 the overall business climate indicator remained similar to the level in August (from 25.1% to 24.7%), with an improvement only in retail trade.1 |
| Overall, annual average real GDP growth is expected to slow down from 3.4% in 2022 to 0.7% in 2023, before recovering to 1.0% in 2024 and to 1.5% in 2025. Compared with the June 2023 Eurosystem staff projections, the outlook for GDP growth has been revised down by 0.2 percentage points for 2023, 0.5 percentage points for 2024 and 0.1 percentage points for 2025, reflecting a significant downgrade of the short-term outlook, amid deteriorating survey indicators, tighter financing conditions 3 including more adverse credit supply effects 3 and the stronger euro exchange rate.2 |

| INTEREST RATE RISK |
Interest rate risk is related to possible negative changes in interest rates established by the financial institutions of the Republic of Bulgaria. |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At its meeting on 14 September 2023 the Governing Council decided to raise the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points. Accordingly, the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility were increased to 4.50%, 4.75% and 4.00% respectively, with effect from 20 September 2023. On the basis of its current assessments, the Governing Council considers that the ECB's key interest rates have reached a level which, if sustained for long enough, could contribute significantly to a timely return of inflation to its target level.3 |

| INFLATION RISK | ||||
| Inflation risk is a general price increase in which money depreciates and households and firms are likely to suffer a loss. |
||||
| The consumer price index is the official measure of inflation in the Republic of Bulgaria. It assesses the overall relative change in the prices of goods and services used by households for personal (non-productive) consumption and is calculated by applying the structure of final monetary consumption expenditure of Bulgarian households. |
||||
| According to the NSI, in September 2023, the monthly inflation rate is -0.1% month-on month and annual inflation for September 2023 versus September 2022 is 6.3%. Year-to date inflation (September 2023 versus December 2022) is 3.6%, and average annual inflation for October 2022-September 2023 versus October 2021-September 2022 is 12.4%.5 |

| The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices is a comparable measure of inflation for EU countries. It is one of the criteria for price stability and for Bulgaria's accession to the euro area. The HICP, like the CPI, measures the overall relative change in the price level of goods and services. |
|
| According to the NSI, the HICP in September 2023 monthly inflation is -0.3% compared to the previous month and the annual inflation for September 2023 compared to September 2022 is 6.4%. Year-to-date inflation (September 2023 versus December 2022) is 4.2% and the average annual inflation rate for October 2022-September 2023 versus October 2021- September 2022 is 10.8%.6 |
|
| The September 2023 ECB staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area see average inflation at 5.6% in 2023, 3.2% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025. This is an upward revision for 2023 and 2024 and a downward revision for 2025. The upward revision for 2023 and 2024 mainly reflects a higher path for energy prices. Underlying price pressures remain high, even though most indicators have started to ease. ECB staff have slightly revised down the projected path for inflation excluding energy and food, to an average of 5.1% in 2023, 2.9% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025. [&] They now expect the euro area economy to expand by 0.7% in 2023, 1.0% in 2024 and 1.5% in 2025. [&] Overall, with medium-term inflation expectations assumed to remain anchored at the ECB9s inflation target, headline HICP inflation is expected to decrease from an average of 8.4% in 2022 to 5.6% in 2023, 3.2% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025, reaching the target in the third quarter of 2025. 7 |
|
| CURRENCY RISK | Exposure to currency risk is the dependence and effects of changes in exchange rates. Systemic currency risk is the probability of a possible change in the currency regime of the country (currency board), which would lead either to BGN devaluation or to BGN appreciation compared to foreign currencies. |
| Currency risk will have an impact on companies with market shares, the payments of which are made in a currency other than BGN and EUR. Since, according to the current legislation in the country the Bulgarian lev is fixed to the euro in the ratio EUR 1 = BGN 1.95583, and the Bulgarian National Bank is obliged to maintain a level of Bulgarian levs in circulation equal to the bank9s foreign exchange reserves, the risk of devaluation of the BGN compared to the European currency is minimal and consists in the eventual early abolition of the currency board in the country. At this stage, this seems unlikely, as the |

| currency board is expected to be abolished upon the adoption of the EUR in Bulgaria as an official unit of payment. |
|
|---|---|
| Theoretically, currency risk could increase when Bulgaria joins the second stage of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). This is a regime in which the country must maintain the exchange rate compared to the EUR within +/- 15% on the background of the central parity. In practice, all countries currently in this mechanism (Denmark, Estonia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta) are witnessing fluctuations that are significantly less than the allowed ones of ± 15%. |
|
| On July 10, 2020, Bulgaria joined the ERM II exchange rate mechanism, known as the 8euro area9s waiting room9. The central rate of the Bulgarian lev is fixed at EUR 1 = BGN 1.95583. Around this central exchange rate of the BGN, the standard range of plus or minus 15 percent will be maintained. Bulgaria joins the exchange rate mechanism with its existing currency board regime, as a unilateral commitment and without additional requirements to the ECB.8 At the same time, our country must enter into close cooperation with the unified banking supervision. The fixed exchange rate of the BGN to the EUR does not eliminate for the Bulgarian currency the risk of unfavorable movements of the euro exchange rate against other major currencies (US dollar, British pound, Swiss franc) on the international financial markets, but at present the company does not consider that such a risk would be material to its business. The company may be affected by currency risk depending on the type of cash flow currency and the type of currency of the company9s potential loans. |
|
| The SHELLY GROUP PLC Group companies operate in Bulgaria as well as in EU countries and first countries, mainly in the USA, Latin America and Australia. At present, the main revenues from the Group9s IoT business are in BGN or EUR, and the costs of delivery of goods in this segment are mainly in US dollars and are largely tied to the Chinese yuan, which is why the appreciation of the US dollar or Chinese yuan would have an adverse effect on the business performance. In terms of US dollar exposure, the Group companies are expected to have significant US dollar sales revenue in the US and other non-EU markets in the future, which to some extent balances the Group9s net exposure to this major currency. |
|
| To limit the effects of the currency risk, the companies of the Group have introduced a system for planning the deliveries from countries inside and outside the EU, as well as procedures for ongoing monitoring of the movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies and control over the forthcoming payments. Currently, the Group companies do not use derivative instruments for hedging the currency risk but, if necessary, the management is ready to enter into such transactions. |
|
| Credit risk of the state |
Credit risk is the probability of deterioration of Bulgaria9s international credit ratings, caused by the government9s inability to repay its liabilities regularly. Low credit ratings of the country can lead to higher interest rates, more difficult financing conditions, both for the state and for individual economic entities, including the Company. Credit ratings are prepared by specialized credit rating agencies and serve to determine and measure a country9s credit risk. Bulgaria9s credit rating is presented in the following table: Table 1: Credit risk of Bulgaria |

In S&P Global Ratings9 view, this affords Bulgaria a policy buffer and leaves its public finances less susceptible to a swift increase in interest rates globally. Bulgaria is currently experiencing high inflation, which, in S&P Global Ratings9 view, could pose challenges to it becoming a member of the |

| from the 3% it anticipates for 2022. | S&P Global Ratings expects Bulgaria's GDP growth to weaken notably in the coming months. Although the economy has remained more resilient in 2022 against fallout from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than the rating agency initially expected, several challenges lie ahead. In particular, the rating agency expects external demand from Bulgaria's main trading partners in the EU will reduce and domestic consumption will lose steam as continuously high inflation, which is estimated at close to 10% on average in 2023, weighs on real wages. Positively, EU-funded projects will provide some support to the economy. S&P Global Ratings projects real growth of less than 1% in 2023 3 a substantial slowdown |
||
| According to S&P Global Ratings, Bulgaria is gradually progressing in its efforts to enter the eurozone, but it remains unclear whether it will be granted membership in 2024 due to several remaining obstacles. Bulgaria's successful accession to the eurozone would eliminate residual euro exchange rate risks in its economy, improve the country's access to euro capital markets, and grant domestic banks direct access to the ECB resources. However, Bulgaria is currently experiencing high inflation (at close to 15%), which, in the view of the rating agency, could complicate the task of meeting the inflation convergence criterion next year. Domestic political uncertainty also persists with a caretaker government still in office following the most recent snap election in October 2022, hampering the process of preparing for accession. |
|||
| The rating agency could raise the ratings on Bulgaria if it became a eurozone member; improvements in Bulgaria's balance of payments position could also support an upgrade. S&P points out that it could lower the ratings if Bulgaria's economic prospects deteriorated significantly compared to the rating agency9s current expectations, which could occur, for example, due to stronger second-round effects from a slowdown in global growth, the |

|---|
| The international credit rating agency Fitch Ratings has affirmed Bulgaria9s long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) at <BBB= with a Positive Outlook. |
| Bulgaria's ratings are supported by its strong external and public balance sheets versus 'BBB' peers and a credible policy framework, underpinned by EU membership and a long standing currency-board. This is balanced by unfavourable demographics, which weigh on potential growth and government finances over the long term. |
| The Positive Outlook reflects the prospect of euro adoption, which could lead to further improvements in external metrics. The authorities remain committed to euro adoption by 2024, with risks around the timeline mainly tied to exogenous factors. The rating agency does not expect a delay of more than one year in euro accession if the country fails to meet convergence criteria in 2023, as it considers that there is a clear commitment at EU level to expedite the process. |
| Fitch Ratings has affirmed Bulgaria's 'BBB' long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit rating with a positive outlook. |
| Bulgaria's rating is underpinned by its strong external and fiscal position compared to similarly rated countries, the credible policy framework of EU membership and the long standing functioning of the monetary council regime. On the other hand, the low investment-to-GDP ratio and unfavourable demographic factors weigh on potential economic growth and public finances in the longer term. |
| The positive outlook reflects the country's plans for euro area membership, which could lead to further improvements in the country's external position indicators. Despite a series of snap parliamentary elections over the past two years, the rating agency believes that the key political parties remain committed to euro adoption. According to Fitch Ratings, the necessary legislative amendments should be adopted once the political environment stabilizes, with the risks around the eurozone entry date mainly related to the fulfilment of the price stability criterion. |
| Inflation will ease slowly: Fitch Ratings forecasts average annual inflation (HICP) of 9.6% in 2023 (current median of 6.4% for BBB-rated countries), compared to 13% in 2022. While lower international commodity prices and strong base effects should reduce headline inflation this year, robust domestic demand will keep upward pressure on prices, leading to average annual inflation of 4% in 2024. Wage dynamics are broadly in line with inflation, with nominal average wage growth of 12.8% in 2022, driven primarily by private sector increases. |
| Weakening growth outlook: GDP growth is projected to slow to 1.3% in 2023 from 3.4% in 2022. Analysts at the rating agency, expect a sharp reduction in the inventories that firms hold and a slowdown in private and public consumption growth. Nevertheless, private consumption will continue to be supported by a robust labor market, with increases in minimum wages and social payments supporting lower-income households. Investment growth will start to pick up as EU fund flows increase. GDP growth will accelerate to 2.6% in 2024. The delay in the implementation of the SGP reforms is a major downside risk. |
11 https://www.minfin.bg/bg/news/12018
| Uncertain fiscal outlook: according to Fitch Ratings, fiscal performance this year is uncertain as the caretaker government operates under the provisions of the 2022 budget law. The general government deficit is expected to widen to 3.4% of GDP in 2023 from 2.8% in 2022, in line with the current median of 'BBB' rated countries. Strong nominal GDP growth will support tax revenues, while increases in public sector pensions and wages and increases in capital spending will boost overall government spending. The fiscal prudence achieved and the commitment of key political parties to fiscal consolidation support the view of the rating agency analysts that fiscal performance should not be jeopardized in the medium term. Fitch Ratings expects the budget deficit in 2024 to narrow to 2.5% of GDP. |
|---|
| Key factors that could lead to positive rating actions are: progress towards euro area accession, including confidence that Bulgaria meets the membership criteria and the euro adoption deadline; improving the growth potential of the economy, for example by introducing structural and governance reforms to improve the business environment and/or efficient use of EU funds. |
| Factors that could lead to negative rating actions are: lack of progress in joining the euro area due to persistent political instability or failure to meet the convergence criteria; lower growth prospects in the medium term caused, for example, by a significant adverse macroeconomic shock or inflation that has persisted at high levels.12 |
| Moody's affirmed Bulgaria's Baa1 long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit rating with a stable outlook. |
| The affirmation of Bulgaria's Baa1 rating balances the following key factors: 1) Moody's expectation that an energy crisis in Europe will not materially weaken the country's economic and fiscal position. 2) Support for Bulgaria's credit profile stemming from the prospect of euro adoption, despite the risk of a delay in adoption beyond 2024. 3) Risks to the government's effectiveness and progress on key priorities stemming from the protracted domestic political stalemate in the country. |
| The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of relatively little fluctuation in the country's key economic and fiscal indicators over the next 12 to 18 months. It also reflects the balance of risks between the potential negative effects on the credit profile arising from the country's political situation and the potential positive effects of the eventual adoption of the euro. |
| Moody's analysts estimate that despite rising producer and consumer prices, the data available for Bulgaria as of November 2022 show that the country's industrial production and private consumption are relatively resilient to these shocks. Moody's expects real GDP growth to come in at 2.7% in 2022, before slowing to 1.4% in 2023 and points out that these estimates are among the most robust growth rates compared to other European countries this year. The government's ability to provide support to businesses without weakening its fiscal position is also noted as an important factor explaining why Moody's does not expect the energy crisis to have significant and lasting economic effects on the Bulgarian economy. The rating agency believes that inflation will fall to 6.0% at the end of 2023, down from 14.3% at the end of 2022. In line with the need to meet the Maastricht criteria, the agency expects the budget deficit to remain stable at around 3% of GDP in 2023 and 2024, while government debt will increase slightly to 23.8% and 24.7% of GDP at the end of 2023 and 2024, respectively, keeping the country's overall fiscal position broadly unchanged. |

| According to Moody's, Bulgaria can still meet its target of adopting the euro by 2024, but the country's baseline scenario envisages that this process is likely to be delayed until at least 2025. |
|
|---|---|
| The lack of a stable governing coalition for most of the period from April 2021 to the present has increased the risks associated with the implementation of key policies and could also complicate the government's ability to respond to unforeseen events. Analysts note that the caretaker government has been effective in strengthening alternative gas supply routes through Greece and Turkey, as well as alternative gas supplies, most notably from Azerbaijan. |
|
| The rating agency would upgrade the rating if there is an improvement in the long-term growth outlook stemming from improvements in infrastructure and the institutional environment, as well as the country's accession to the euro area. Moody's noted that it would downgrade the rating in the event of a sustained deterioration in the country's strong fiscal position, long-term economic growth prospects, and failure to complete the euro area accession process.13 |

| Unemployment risk |
As a major factor affecting consumer purchasing power, an increase in unemployment would reduce demand for IoT products. On the other hand, the demand for staff from businesses continues to be very active, so such a risk seems negligible within the next year. |
| Eurostat estimates that 12.837 million persons in the EU, of whom 10.856 million in the euro area (EA), were unemployed in August 2023. Compared with July 2023, unemployment decreased by 112 000 in the EU and by 107 000 in the euro area. Compared with August 2022, unemployment decreased by 335 000 in the EU and by 407 000 in the euro area. In August 2023, the euro area seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 6.4 %, down from 6.5 % in July 2023 and from 6.7 % in August 2022. The EU unemployment rate was 5.9 % in August 2023, down from 6.0 % in July 2023 and from 6.1 % in August 2022.14 |
|
| According to the Employment Agency the registered unemployment rate in the country in September 2023 is 5.3%. It remains the same as in August. The number of registered unemployed persons at the end of the month is 149 878, which is an increase of 528 persons compared to last month.15 |

| Risk associated with the legal system |
Although Bulgaria has introduced a number of significant legislative changes since joining the EU and most of the Bulgarian legislation has been harmonized with EU legislation, the legal system in the country is still in the process of reform. Judicial and administrative practices remain problematic and it is difficult to effectively resolve property disputes, breaches of laws and contracts and other. Deficiencies in the legal infrastructure can result in uncertainties arising from the implementation of corporate actions, the implementation of supervision and other issues. |
| TAX RISK | It is essential for the financial performance of the companies to maintain the current tax regime. There is no guarantee that the tax legislation, which is directly relevant to the core |

Such risks are: risk of shortage of key personnel, risk of strong competition, risk related to personal data security and hacker attacks, risk of technology change.
One of the biggest challenges for technology companies, such as the companies of the Group, as well as given the specific scope of their business in the field of telecommunications and engineering and software development, is the shortage of skilled personnel. Insufficient availability of suitable staff in the subsidiaries could adversely affect the future development of the Group due to delays in the development of new products/services and the maintenance of existing ones. On the other hand, the high competition in this sector raises the cost of labor. Thus, the financial position and market share of the Group companies could suffer.
After the sale of most of the telecommunication business of the group, the Group companies operate mainly in the segment of the Internet of Things (IoT). This segment is one of the most modern and promising sectors of the industry, which attracts the interest of many technology giants and start-up companies. The loss or inability to gain market share and the fall in final product prices due to increased competition may have a negative effect on revenue, profit and profit margins. Maintaining a competitive position requires investment in the creation of devices with new utilities, improvement of existing solutions and expansion of market share and it cannot be taken for granted that new developments will be established among the competing ones on the market.
The technology industry is characterized by digital transmission of information that could be strictly confidential, containing personal data of users of products, financial information of companies, information about new products and other. The protection of such information is a critical factor for the normal operation of companies in the industry, including of the Group. The sales of the devices and the use by the users of the accompanying mobile applications and cloud services provided by the Group are related to the exchange and storage of personal data. Potential breaches in information security can lead to: i) Loss of customers and/or partners and their migration to competing companies; (ii) Imposing sanctions and lawsuits related to breaches of applicable data protection and privacy laws; iii) Lost or delayed orders and sales; iv) Adverse effects on reputation, business, financial position, profits and cash flows.
The supply of IoT devices is related to regulation regarding the certification of products for sale in the respective country. In the European Union, products are required to bear the 8CE9 marking, which indicates that the product has been evaluated and meets the requirements of safety, health and environmental protection. In the US, the equivalent is 8UL9 certification. For certification purposes, accredited laboratories are assigned compliance tests, which involve significant costs. In addition, specifics in the requirements of local regulators and contractors (especially mobile operators) may require additional tests and certification to be performed, which increases the cost of entering a particular market or particular distribution channel.
Sales of the Group companies9 products cover an increasing number of markets, which often have local regulation regarding the certification of similar products in the respective country. Meeting the requirements of local regulation is related to time and resources and may delay the Company in entering new markets or require additional costs in order to meet different standards.
The change in regulatory requirements for devices may involve additional costs for making them compliant with the new requirements, including costs for withdrawing products from the market to making them compliant with these requirements. The Group companies and their local partners regularly monitor planned changes in the legislation and take timely measures to ensure the compliance of products with them.
Eventual changes in the regulations in the telecommunications sector, could have some impact on the operation of the Group as mobile operators are one of the main sales channels for existing MyKi series products. Big part of the devices developed and sold by the companies in the IoT Group use Internet-based technology and can work with the services of any Internet provider. To that effect, the Group is now less dependent on regulations in the field of telecommunications, insofar as the companies in its structure are not providers of telecommunication services and mobile operators are only one of the channels for trade and distribution of IoT devices.
Shelly Group PLC and its subsidiaries operate in an extremely dynamic segment, in which technologies have a significant impact and are a source of competitive advantage. To that effect, there is a risk of delayed adaptation to new technologies due to lack of knowledge, experience or sufficient funding, which may have a negative impact on the Company. The slow adaptation to the new realities may lead to a loss of competitive positions and market shares, which in turn will lead to a deterioration of the Group9s performance.
Such risks are: operational risk, risk related to business partners, risks arising from new projects and liquidity risk.
Operational risk can be defined as the risk of loss as a result of inadequate or non-functioning internal management procedures. Such risks may be caused by the following circumstances:
The effects of such circumstances would be a decrease in the Company9s revenues and deterioration of its business performance.
Production activities in the IoT segment is outsourced, mainly to China, concentrated in several manufacturers. Potential risks associated with key subcontractors are related to the accurate and timely execution of deliveries or termination of business relationships. Although management believes that there is a wide range of alternative suppliers, the possible transfer of production to new partners and diversification of subcontractors may lead to delivery delays and additional costs, which may affect the ability of the Group companies to perform agreed orders from customers and adversely affect the Group9s reputation and financial performance.
The main business activity of SHELLY GROUP PLC is related to investments in subsidiaries. There is a risk that some of the subsidiaries will not be able to meet their goals, which will lead to lower or negative return on investment.
The development of new products and services by the subsidiaries of SHELLY GROUP PLC is related to the investment in human resources, software, hardware, materials, goods and services. Should new products and services fail to be marketed, such investments would be unjustified. This in turn would have a negative impact on the costs and assets of the Company, as well as on the performance of its business activities. In order to manage the risk arising from new projects, the Group companies perform a market analysis, prepare a financial analysis containing different scenarios, and in some cases discuss with potential customers the concept of the new service/product.
The expression of the liquidity risk in relation to the Group is associated with the possibility of lack of timely and/or sufficient available funds to meet all current liabilities. This risk may appear both in case of significant delay of the payments by the debtors of the Company, as well as in case of insufficiently effective management of the cash flows from the operation of the Company.
Some of the Group companies use bank financing in the form of an investment loan, overdraft or revolving credit line, which can be used in case of liquidity problems.
The company pursues a conservative liquidity management policy, through which it constantly maintains an optimal liquidity cash reserve and good ability to finance its business activities. In order to control the risk, the Company monitors the timely payment of incurred liabilities. The company monitors and controls the actual and projected cash flows for periods ahead and maintains a balance between the maturity limits of the assets and liabilities.
For the reporting period the Company has not entered into transactions with interested parties in the meaning according to POSA.
The Company has not entered into any transactions with other Group companies that fall beyond its scope of regular business or that significantly deviate from the market conditions. Transactions in the ordinary course of business are excluded for the purposes of the consolidation.

The amounts paid are in compliance with the approved remuneration policy of the Company and the changes made in the number of seats in the Board and the appointment new members, that were appointed on an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on April 8, 2022.
There are no newly incurred significant receivables and/or liabilities, excluding the cash loan provided to Shelly Tech d.o.o. (former company name GOAP Ra
