2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. These policies have been applied consistently in all the years presented, unless otherwise specified.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016, for the approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, applicable to companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, with subsequent amendments and clarifications.

These provisions correspond to the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the European Union (EU). The effects of the change in the exchange rates, regarding the functional currency. For the purpose of preparing these financial statements in accordance with the legislative requirements of Romania, the functional currency of the Company is considered to be RON ("Romanian leu").

For the year ended 31st December , 2011 and for all previous financial years, the Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the Romanian accounting regulations (local accounting principles) represented by OMF 3055/2009 for the years 2011 and 2010. As of 31st December , 2012, the Company prepared the first set of IFRS financial statements adopted by the EU.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of critical accounting estimates. It also asks the management to use reasoning in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of complexity and application of these reasonings or those in which assumptions and estimates have a material impact on the financial statements are presented in note 4.

2.1.1. Business continuity

These financial statements have been prepared based on the principle of business continuity, which implies that the Company will continue its activity for the foreseeable future.

The nature of the Company's activity may bring unpredictable variations in terms of cash inflows in the future. The management analyzed the issue of the opportunity to prepare the financial statements based on the principle of business continuity.

As of 31st December , 2024, the Company recorded a profit of RON 12,823.

2.1.2 New accounting regulations

The following amendments to the existing standards and new interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU are in force for the current period:

Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2.

They were adopted by the EU on 15 January 2020, and are applicable for periods starting on or after 1 January 2021.

Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts – Extension of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9. The expiry date of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 has been extended for annual periods beginning on or after 1st of January , 2024.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leasing ContractsAdopted by the EU on August 30, 2021 and are applicable after June 30, 2021.

As of 1st of January , 2018, the Company has applied IFRS 15 Revenue from customer contracts. IFRS 15 sets out a five-step model that will apply to the recognition of income arising from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of transaction or industry. The requirements of the standard will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-operational assets that are not the result of the entity's ordinary business (e.g., sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets). Provision will be made for extensive disclosures, including disaggregation of total income, information on performance obligations, changes in contractual balances of asset and liability accounts between periods, and key reasoning and estimates.

The company obtained in the year revenues from the rental of spaces to other companies until the date of sale of the properties, and the revenues are measured at the fair value of the net amounts collected. The income obtained from the rental of spaces is recognized when there is an obligation to register a contract, respectively if the following conditions have been met:

  • The parties to the contract have approved the contract in writing •
  • The Company may identify the rights of each party in relation to the services to be transferred •
  • The company can identify the terms of payment for rent •
  • The contract has commercial content •
  • The company has a number of 33 tenants as of 31.12.2024 •
  • The company extended the contracts for an indefinite period •
  • The company charges a reasonable level of rents •

Based on the internal assessment of the possible impact resulting from the application of IFRS 15, we consider that the business continuity supported by the two aspects mentioned above is clear, namely the increase in the number of tenants and the extension of their existing contracts; No material effect was identified in these financial statements.

New standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU, but not applicable for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, as a result not adopted:

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (all issued on May 14, 2020) – applicable for periods beginning on or after 1st of January , 2022.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on May 18, 2017); including Amendments to IFRS 17 (issued on June 25, 2020) applicable for periods beginning on or after 1st of January , 2023.

Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (published February 12, 2021) applicable for periods beginning on or after 1st of January , 2023.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and Practice Statement 2 IFRS: Presentation of Accounting Policies (published on February 12, 2021) – applicable for periods beginning on or after 1st of January , 2021.

The Company anticipates that the adoption of these standards and amendments to existing standards will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements during the initial application period.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that have not yet entered into force and that could have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

2.2 Segment reporting

A segment is a distinct component of the Company that provides certain products or services (business segment) or provides products and services in a specific geographic environment (geographic segment) and that is subject to different risks and rewards than other segments. From the point of view of business segments, the Company does not identify distinct components in terms of risks and benefits.

IFRS 8 Business Segments must apply to the Company's Financial Statements because its equity instruments are traded on a public market (BVB).

The presentation of information on the products and services, as well as the geographical areas in which the company operates is mandatory, even for those entities that identify a single reportable segment of activity, taking into account the quantitative thresholds and aggregation criteria provided by the standard. Taking into account the quantitative thresholds and aggregation criteria provided by the standard, from the point of view of the business segments, the Company does not identify distinct components from the perspective of the associated risks and benefits.

2.3 Foreign currency conversion

(a) Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in lei (RON), the national currency of Romania. The company keeps the accounting records in lei, prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with the specific legislation on the matter and with the Regulations on accounting and financial-accounting reports issued by the Ministry of Public Finance.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency are converted into functional currency using the exchange rate valid on the date of the transactions. Gains and losses arising from exchange rate differences following the conclusion of these transactions and from the conversion at the end of the financial year at the year-end exchange rate of monetary assets and obligations denominated in foreign currency are reflected in the profit and loss account.

Exchange rate gains and losses that relate to loans and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the profit and loss account under "financial income or expenses". All other gains and losses at the exchange rate are presented in the profit and loss account under "Other (loss)/gain – net".

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are expressed in lei at the balance sheet date. As of 31st December , 2024, the exchange rate used to convert balances to foreign currency is 1 EUR = 4.9741 RON. Gains and losses arising from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the profit and loss account during the year.

2.4 Accounting for the effects of hyperinflation

The Romanian economy has gone through periods of relatively high inflation and has been considered hyperinflationary according to IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29").

IAS 29 requires that financial statements prepared in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of purchasing power at the balance sheet date. The amounts expressed in terms of purchasing power at 31 December 2004 (the date of cessation of hyperinflation) are treated as the basis for the carrying amounts in these financial statements.

The Company has decided to reflect the impact of the application of IAS 29 in the financial statements as at 31st December , 2012. The impact of these adjustments was reflected on the value of the land, the share capital and the deferred result.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets

Type Number of years
Machines 2 - 12
Vehicles 3 - 15

The residual value of an asset is the estimated value that could be obtained by the Company from the sale of the respective asset minus the estimated costs of the sale, if the asset is already old and meets the conditions related to its end of useful life. The residual value of an asset is zero if the Company estimates the use of the asset until the end of its physical life. Residual asset values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted accordingly, at each balance sheet date.

The gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the amounts obtained from the disposal with the book value, and are recognized under "Other (losses)/net gains" in the statement of income and expenses.

When selling revalued assets, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to the retained earnings.

2.6 Intangible assets

Computer programs

The acquired licenses related to the rights to use the software are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred with the acquisition and commissioning of the respective software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful life (three years). The costs related to the development or maintenance of software are recognized as expenses during the period in which they are performed.

2.6 Intangible assets (continued)

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include computer programs created by the entity or acquired from third parties for their own use, as well as other intangible assets owned by the Company.

Expenses that allow intangible assets to generate future economic benefits beyond their originally anticipated performance are added to their original

cost. These expenses are capitalized as intangible assets, if they are not an integral part of tangible assets.

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed to identify impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount can no longer be recovered. The impairment loss is represented by the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the respective asset. The recoverable amount is the maximum of the fair value of the asset minus the costs of sale and the value in use.

2.8 Financial assets

Loans and receivables

Classification

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not listed on an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those that have a maturity period of more than 12 months from the balance sheet date. They are classified as fixed assets.

Recognition and evaluation

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised at the trading date – the date on which the Company undertakes to buy or sell the respective asset. Financial assets cease to be recognised when the right to receive cash flows from investments expires or is transferred, and the Company transfers all risks and benefits related to ownership. Loans and receivables are recorded at amortized cost based on the effective interest method. The Company's loans and receivables are classified as "cash and cash equivalents" and "customers and other receivables" in the balance sheet (notes 2.12 and 2.15).

2.9 Clearing of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and net worth is reported on the balance sheet only when there is an applicable legal right to offset the amounts recognised and there is an intention to offset on a net basis or to capitalise on the asset and offset the liability at the same time.

2.10 Stocks

As of 31.12.2024, the company no longer holds stocks of consumable materials and animals and poultry in the amount of 1,422 lei.

2.11 Commercial creation

Receivables are recorded at nominal value minus adjustments for their impairment.

Trade receivables are the amounts owed by customers for products, goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of business

The provision for the impairment of trade receivables is constituted when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due to it according to the initial conditions of the receivables. Significant difficulties faced by the debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganization proceedings, nonpayment or non-compliance with payment terms are considered indicative of impairment of trade receivables.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by using a provision account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of income and expenses under "other gains/(losses) – net" in the profit and loss account. When a trade receivable cannot be recovered, it is passed on to the expense, with the corresponding reversal of the provision for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of previously depreciated amounts are credited to the profit and loss account.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

For the cash flow statement, cash and its equivalents include cash in the house, bank accounts, bank deposits on demand, other short-term financial investments, overdraft facilities, and the short-term part of restricted bank accounts.

2.13 Share capital and reserves

The share capital composed of common shares is registered at the value established on the basis of the articles of incorporation and addenda, as the case may be, as well as the supporting documents regarding the capital payments.

The repurchased own shares, according to the law, are presented in the statement of assets, debts and equity as a correction of the equity.

Gains or losses related to the issuance, redemption, sale, free disposal or cancellation of the entity's equity instruments are recognised directly in equity under the lines of "Gains / or Losses related to equity instruments".

2.14 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised at fair value.

Trade debts are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been purchased in the normal course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current payables if payment is due within one year or less than one year (or later in the normal course of business). Otherwise, they will be presented as long-term debts.

2.15 Loans

As of 31.12.2024, the company no longer holds loans.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

The company registers current corporate income tax at a rate of 16% of the taxable profit resulting from the statutory financial statements, by adjusting the expenses that cannot be deducted and the non-taxable income, in accordance with the Romanian Fiscal Code and related regulations.

The tax expense for the period includes the current tax and the deferred tax. The tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, unless it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the related tax is also recognised in other items of comprehensive income or directly in equity.

The current income tax expense is calculated based on the tax regulations in force at the balance sheet date in Romania. The management periodically evaluates the positions in the tax returns in terms of the situations in which the applicable tax regulations are interpretable. This constitutes provisions, where applicable, based on the amounts estimated to be due to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized on the basis of the balance sheet obligation method, for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax resulting from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination, and which at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting profit or the taxable profit is not recognised. The deferred corporate income tax is determined on the basis of the tax rates (and laws) that came into force until the balance sheet date and that are to be applied during the period in which the deferred tax to be recovered will be recovered or the deferred tax will be paid.

The deferred tax to be recovered is recognised only to the extent that it is likely that a taxable profit will be obtained in the future from which temporary differences are deducted.

Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are offset when there is an applicable legal right to offset current tax receivables against current tax liabilities, and when deferred tax receivables and liabilities are imposed by the same tax authority either on the same taxable entity or on different taxable entities, if there is an intention to offset the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Uncertain fiscal positions

The Company's uncertain tax positions are analyzed by the management at the date of each balance sheet. Liabilities are recorded for tax positions for

which management believes that additional taxes are likely to be applied if these positions were to be verified by the tax authorities. The valuation is based on the interpretation of the tax laws that were adopted at the balance sheet date. Liabilities related to penalties, interest and taxes, other than income tax, are recognised on the basis of management's best estimates necessary to settle obligations at the balance sheet date.

2.18 Employee benefits

During the financial year, the Company makes payments to the Social Security budget on behalf of its employees, as all of them are included in the public pension system.

The Company does not contribute to any other pension plan or benefits after retirement and does not have any other obligations of the kind mentioned above, for its employees.

Benefits at the end of the activity

In the collective labor agreement of the Company, valid for the previous period, it was stipulated that the Company's employees receive on the occasion of retirement a bonus equivalent to one/two basic salaries they had in the month prior to retirement. The company has made an estimate of the present value of this promised benefit, in order to constitute the necessary provision, but which did not materialize because it is not considered to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Also, in the collective labor agreement of the Company, valid for the previous period, it was provided that the Company's employees receive compensatory payments in case of termination of the individual employment contract for reasons related to the Company. The Company has made an estimate of the present value of this promised benefit, and has constituted the necessary provision on the financial statements ended as of 31st December , 2024.

The company did not pay compensatory payments in 2024.

Considering the situation generated by Covid-19 within the Company, the following decisions were issued in order to prevent the proper performance of the activity from being affected:

By Decision no. 20/01.09.2020, people in the vicinity of those infected with Covid-19 benefited from the settlement of the Covid-19 test by the unit.

As an additional protection measure for employees, the modification of the employment contract was chosen in some cases, in an employment contract with a teleworking clause.

Employees were constantly informed about the legislative changes and updates brought to the areas affected by Covid-19.

2.19 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a current obligation (legal or implied) generated by a previous event, it is likely that an outflow of

resources is necessary to honour the obligation, and the debt can be credibly estimated.

Provisions for taxes are constituted for the amounts to be paid to the state budget, provided that these amounts are not reflected as a debt in relation to the state.

The provisions are revised at the date of the financial statements and adjusted to reflect Management's current best estimate in this regard. If an outflow of resources is no longer likely to be extinguished in order to extinguish an obligation, the provision must be cancelled by resumption of income.

2.20 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recorded when the significant risks and benefits of owning property are transferred to the client. The amounts representing the income do not include sales taxes (VAT), but include the commercial discounts granted. The financial discounts granted to customers (discounts) reduce the value of the Company's income.

The Company recognises revenue when its amount can be measured reliably, when it is probable that it will produce future economic benefits to the entity, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to sales have been resolved. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into account the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specific elements of each contract.

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the period in which they are rendered and in line with the stage of completion.

Interest income shall be recognized periodically, in a proportional manner, as the respective income is generated, based on accrual accounting.

Revenue from rental income and/or rights to use assets is recognised on an accrual basis, as per the contract.

Dividends distributed to shareholders, proposed or declared after the date of the financial statements, are recognised as dividend income when the shareholder's right to receive them is established.

2.21 Leasing contracts

Leasing is a contract, or part of a contract, that gives the company the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a certain period of time in exchange for a consideration. The company, as lessee, obtains the right to use an underlying asset for a certain period of time in exchange for a countervalue.

At the date of commencement of the exercise, the Company values the asset relating to the right of use at cost.

The cost of the asset related to the right of use includes:

  • The value of the initial valuation of the debt arising from the leasing contract;
  • Any lease payment made on or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
  • Any initial direct costs incurred by the company;
  • An estimate of the costs to be incurred by the company as lessee for the dismantling and removal of the underlying asset, for the restoration of the place where it is located or for bringing the underlying asset to the condition imposed in the terms and conditions of the leasing contract, unless these costs are incurred for the production of inventories. The lessee assumes the obligation towards these costs either at the date of the start of the development or as a result of the use of the underlying asset during a certain period.

The Company will choose not to apply the provisions of IFRS16 for shortterm leases (<12 months) and for leases for which the underlying asset has a low value.

Depreciation of the underlying asset is determined as follows:

  • If at the end of the leasing contract the transfer of ownership takes place, then the depreciation will be recognized as an expense over the useful life of the asset.
  • Otherwise, depreciation will be recognised for the lesser of the useful life of the asset and the lease period.

In 2024, the Company had an ongoing leasing contract, namely the one for the rental of buildings and land from Koro Lando Real Estate SRL.

2.22 Distribution of dividends

The distribution of dividends is recognized as a debt in the Company's financial statements during the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

By the nature of its activities, the Company is exposed to various risks including: market risk (including monetary risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company does not use derivatives to hedge against certain risk exposures.

Risk management is the responsibility of the management of ARMATURA SA based on the policies approved by the board of directors. The Company's management identifies and assesses financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operational units. The Board of Directors provides basic principles for risk management, as well as recommendations for specific areas such as currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and excessive liquidity investing.

  • (a) Market risk
  • (i) Currency risk

The Company operates mainly in Romania and is exposed to currency risk resulting from exposure to various currencies, in particular related to the Euro. Currency risk results mainly from the Company's loans, receivables and trade debts.

The company is not hedged against currency risk. Because the Company's activities are carried out mainly on the domestic market, it does not generate income in the same currency as loans. However, the management regularly receives forecasts regarding the evolution of the RON / EUR exchange rate and uses the information in the pricing strategy. The management will consider in the future the development of strategies to protect the Company against currency risk.

(ii) Interest rate risk on cash flow and fair value

The company has no significant interest-bearing assets. The interest rate risk in the Company's case stems from the long-term loan. The contracted loan is variable interest rate and exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on cash flow, which is partially offset by the cash held at variable rates. In 2021 and 2020, the Company's floating rate loan was denominated in Euro.

The company dynamically analyzes its interest rate exposure. Different scenarios are simulated, taking into account refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the profit and loss impact of the interest rate change. For each simulation, the same percentage of interest rate change is used for all currencies. The scenarios apply only to debts that constitute major interestbearing positions.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk results from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as from customers' credit exposures, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. In the case of banks and financial institutions, only those independently assessed with a minimum "BB" rating are accepted. For clients, there is no independent assessment, management assesses the client's financial creditworthiness, taking into account the client's financial position, past experience and other

factors. The individual risk limits are established on the basis of internal and external ratings, according to the limits set by the board of directors. The use of credit limits is monitored regularly. See note 9 for further presentations on credit risk.

(c) Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasts are made by the Company's operating entities and aggregated by the Company's management. The Company's management monitors the forecasts regarding the Company's liquidity needs, to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet operational requirements. These forecasts take into account the Company's debt financing plans, compliance with agreements, compliance with internal objectives regarding the indicators in the balance sheet.

The Company's management invests the surplus cash in interest-bearing current accounts and term deposits, selecting instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient margin, as established on the basis of the above-mentioned forecasts.

The table below analyzes the Company's financial liabilities by groups of relevant maturity, depending on the period remaining at the balance sheet date until the date of contractual maturity. The values presented in the table represent the respective gross values at the balance sheet date.

3.2 Capital Risk Management

The Company's capital management objectives are to protect the Company's ability to continue its activity in the future, so as to bring profit to shareholders and benefits to the other parties involved, as well as to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce capital expenditures.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends granted to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The company monitors the capital based on the leverage ratio. This coefficient is calculated by dividing the net debt by equity. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total loans (including "short and long-term loans" on the balance sheet). The total capital is calculated by adding the net debt to the "equity" of the balance sheet.

3.3 Estimate at fair value

The company does not hold financial instruments measured on the balance sheet at fair value and therefore disclosures related to fair value measurements by levels do not apply.

Estimates and reasoning are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including anticipations of future events that are considered reasonable under the given conditions.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely be equal to the corresponding actual results. Estimates and assumptions that involve a high

degree of risk or that cause significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the following financial year are set out below.

(a) Corporate income tax

In order to establish the provision for corporate income tax, significant appraisals are necessary. There are several transactions and calculations for which the determination of the final tax is uncertain. The company acknowledges obligations for anticipated problems resulting from tax audits based on estimates regarding the payment of additional taxes. If the final tax result of these operations is different from the amounts initially recorded, the differences will influence the receivables and liabilities regarding the current or deferred income tax during the period in which the determination is made. The recognition of an asset in terms of deferred corporate income tax takes into account a detailed analysis regarding the possibility of its realization.

(b) Estimated impairment of fixed assets

The determination of the loss from depreciation of equipment requires significant reasoning, as described in note 2.8. In making this estimate, the Company compares the net carrying amount of this equipment to the greater of the estimated selling price and the net present value of the cash flows that will be generated by the equipment over its remaining life

5 RETAINED EARNINGS

As of 31st December , 2024, the Company has a retained earnings of RON 1,073,673.

6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (continued)

The method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment in the financial year 2024 was linear. No residual value has been established for them.

In 2021, rental income related to real estate investments in the amount of RON 665,769 was recognized in the CPP, and the direct operating expenses resulting from real estate investments were insignificant.

There were no net gains or losses resulting from fair value adjustments.

On 14.12.2021, both the land and buildings in use of the Company and those leased to third parties (recognized for real estate investments) were sold to another company. As a result, the buildings and land sold were derecognised at their book value at disposal, so on 31.12.2021 the Company no longer owns any building or land.

The derecognition of these tangible fixed assets resulted in a gain in the amount of RON 18,733,846, which was included in the Company's profit. According to the sale-purchase contract, the sale price was established based on an evaluation report prepared by an independent appraiser, a member of ANEVAR.

In determining the book and tax value of debts and receivables we have taken into account:

  • under provisions the credit balance of account 151 "provisions" with the mention that the items representing adjustments to provisions have been taken into account when determining taxable profit;
  • as regards the value of machinery in year 2023 there were no "Operating expenses on adjustments for depreciation of fixed assets" (account 6813);
  • In establishing the book value of receivables we used the Closing debit balance of account 4111 + Closing debit balance of account 418 - Closing credit balance of account 491. When calculating the tax value at book value we added the future deductible amounts (credit balance of account 491).

Thus, the final debit balance of account 4412 representing a deferred corporate income tax receivable is RON 156,517, and the amount of RON 4,947.90 (SF – SI) will be recorded in the accounting by the accounting note:

692=441.02 4.947 .90 The composition of the debit balance of account 4412 as of 31.12.2024 is:

  • Receivable from Provisions = RON 27,294
  • Receivables from customers = RON 129,223.

CONTINGENCIES 1.

(a) Litigation

ARMᾸTURA SA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER , 2024 (in lei, unless otherwise specified)

The company has disputes with commercial partners, resulting in the normal course of the

and with former employees. The Company's management believes that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's economic results and financial position.

Most of the disputes refer to the recovery of debts from companies that are in insolvency proceedings and for which the company has already created provisions in previous years.

b) Taxation

All amounts due to the State for taxes have been paid or recorded at the date of the financial statements. The tax system in Romania is being consolidated and harmonized with the European legislation, and there may be different interpretations of the authorities in relation to the tax legislation, which can give rise to additional taxes, fees and penalties. If the state authorities discover violations of the legal provisions in Romania, they may determine, as the case may be: confiscation of the amounts in question, imposition of additional tax obligations, application of fines, application of late payment increases applied to the actual remaining payment amounts). Therefore, the tax penalties resulting from violations of the legal provisions can reach significant amounts to be paid to the State. The company considers that it has paid on time and in full all taxes, penalties and penalty interest, as the case may be.

The The Romanian tax authorities carried out controls on the calculation of corporate income tax until 31.12.2008. In the period 15.12.2020-19.01.2021 the Tax Authorities carried out an unannounced control in order to comply with the measures established by the Court of Accounts for the 2015-2019 limitation period based on the list of companies that recorded a tax loss in a period of 5 consecutive years. At the end of the audit, no legal violations or measures to be taken regarding the calculation of corporate income tax were mentioned

Transfer pricing

In accordance with the relevant tax legislation, the tax assessment of a transaction made with related parties is based on the concept of market price related to that transaction. On the basis of this concept, transfer pricing must be adjusted to reflect market prices that would have been established between entities between which there is no affiliate relationship and which act independently, on the basis of 'normal market conditions'.

In October 2021, the company prepared the transfer pricing documentation in relation to related parties for the financial years 2016-2020.

(b) Financial crisis

ARMᾸTURA SA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER , 2024 (in lei, unless otherwise specified)

Recent volatility of international and Romanian financial markets:

The current global liquidity crisis that began in mid-2007 has resulted, among other things, in low levels of capital market funding, low levels of liquidity in the banking sector and occasionally, higher rates on interbank lending and very high volatility on stock exchanges.

At present, the full impact of the current financial crisis is impossible to fully anticipate and prevent.

Management cannot reliably estimate the effects on the Company's financial position of the further decrease in the liquidity of the financial markets and the increase in the volatility of the exchange rate of the national currency

and the capital markets indices. The management considers that it has taken all necessary measures to ensure the continuity of the Company in the current conditions.

Impact on liquidity:

The volume of financing in the economy has been significantly reduced lately. This may affect the Company's ability to obtain new loans and/or refinance existing loans on terms and conditions similar to previous financing.

Impact on customers/lenders:

Clients and other debtors of the Company may be affected by market conditions, which may affect their ability to repay amounts due. This may also have an impact on the Company's management's forecasts regarding cash flows and on the assessment of the impairment of financial and nonfinancial assets. To the extent available, management has adequately reflected revised estimates of future cash flows in its assessment of impairment.

Receivables from related parties result mainly from sales transactions and are due between 30 – 90 days from the date of sale, depending on the negotiated contractual conditions. The receivables are not secured and do not bear interest. The receivable from Koro Lando Real Estate SRL, acquired following the sale of the real estate owned by the Company, is due on 31st December , 2022.

As of 31st December , 2024 and 31st December , 2023, no provisions were created for receivables from related parties.

On December 14, 2021, the sale-purchase contract authenticated with the number 9617/14.12.2021 by the Professional Notarial Society Gorun & Associates was concluded, through which ARMĂTURA SA sold the properties it owned, located in Cluj-Napoca, str. Gării, nr. 19, Cluj County, to the company KORO LANDO REAL ESTATE SRL.

The sale was made based on the Decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Armatura S.A. no. 3/25.04.2019, published in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part IV, no. 2351/05.06.2019.

The sale price is the equivalent in lei of the amount of EUR 9,500,000, at the NBR exchange rate on the day of payment. The receivable resulting from the sale of the real estate was partially offset with the Company's debts to the transferee company Koro Lando Real Estate SRL, and the remainder of the receivable in the amount of EUR 2,149,114.50 was collected in October 2022.

Our company has prepared the financial statements as of 31/12/2024 in xhtml electronic format in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

27. RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN MILITARY CONFLICT

In the context of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, our company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine, nor does it have any customers, suppliers or operations in these countries.

Our company closely monitors events inside Ukraine, and the outbreak of this war has naturally generated an important stock market correction that has spread globally. At the date of preparation of these financial statements,

the company is not in a position to credibly estimate the impact, because events are constantly changing from one day to the next.

Risks and uncertainties:

The company's management constantly identifies, analyzes and develops strategies to combat the risks to which the company is exposed in the course of its activity.

Given that a significant portion of the Company's sales were directed to exports, a risk of the Company that was carefully monitored was represented by currency risk. Starting with 2021, when the Company carries out the activity of sub-leasing the premises, this risk is no longer applicable, the clients being predominantly internal.

Due to the general economic environment, liquidity risk and cash flow risk was a topic of increased interest for the company's management and an

attempt was made to find optimal solutions to combat these risks, which included, among others: analysis of bond maturities, efforts in debt recovery, optimal use of banking resources, etc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Towards SHAREHOLDERS OF ARMATURA SA

Report on the financial statements

Opinion

We audited the attached individual financial statements of the company ARMĂTURA S.A., headquartered in Cluj - Napoca, Str. Gării nr. 19, registered at the Trade Register under no. J12/13/1991, tax registration code RO 199001, drawn up in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 for the approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("OMFP no. 2844/2016") with subsequent amendments and clarifications, which include the statement of the financial position as of December 31, 2024, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows, the statement of changes in equity for the financial year ended on this date and a summary of significant accounting policies as well as other explanatory notes.

The mentioned financial statements refer to:

Net assets/Total capital 7.312.422 lei
Profit for the financial year/Loss 12,823 lei

In our opinion, the financial statements of ARMĂTURA S.A. faithfully present in all material respects the financial position of the company as of December 31, 2024, its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on this date, in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 for the approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("OMFP no. 2844/2016") with subsequent amendments and clarifications.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing ("ISA"), EU Regulation No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of 16 April 2014 (hereinafter the "Regulation") and Law No. 162/2017 (the "Law"). Our responsibilities under these standards are described in detail in the "Auditor's responsibilities in an audit of the financial statements" section of our report.

We are independent from the Company, according to the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Council for International Ethical Standards for Accountants including the International Standards of Independence (all together referred to as the IESBA Code), according to the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of financial statements in Romania, including the Law, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities according to these requirements and according to the IESBA Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Highlighting some aspects

The economic climate with the uncertainties generated by the geopolitical context in Ukraine, by the restrictions imposed at international level on the Russian Federation and Belarus, respectively, and the energy crisis implicitly determine the existence of a risk regarding the possibility of unpredictable developments regarding the level of the economic and financial indicators budgeted by the Company, respectively the reconsideration of the aspects that were the basis for estimating the inventory values for the Company's assets.

The management of the Company's financial situation depends on the way in which the management approaches the future socio-economic events and conditions presented in the difficult environment in which it operates.

The company has already taken specific measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees. In addition to the human risk, the pandemic also poses an economic risk to the company's future operations. At the time of the audit report, the company has taken specific measures to ensure that the company's activity is carried out smoothly and under normal conditions.

Our audit opinion does not contain a reservation in relation to this aspect.

Aspecte cheie de audit

Key audit matters are those matters which, based on professional judgement, have been of the greatest importance in carrying out the audit of the financial statements and have been addressed in the context of auditing the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion on them, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these key issues.

ACE

Aspecte cheie de audit Approach to the audit engagement
The revenues mainly comprise from the
subletting of commercial and industrial
spaces.
Our audit procedures for assessing
revenue recognition included the
following:
We have identified revenue recognition as
a key audit aspect because revenue is
one of the Company's key performance
indicators and therefore there is an
inherent risk in relation to its recognition
by management for meeting specific
objectives or expectations.

--Testing the effectiveness of the
Company's main controls to
prevent and detect fraud and errors
in revenue recognition. This
procedure included the testing of
controls for the recognition of
income on the basis of services
made by reference to a sample of
transactions;

--Inspecting customer contracts, on
a sample basis, to understand the
terms of sublease transactions, to
assess whether the company's
revenue recognition criteria were in
line with the requirements of
accounting standards in force;

The company has shares listed on BVB Bucharest. As a result, the company applies all the legal provisions in force:

Law 31/1990 updated;

  • --OMFP no.2844/2016 for the approval of the Accounting Regulations according to the International Financial Reporting Standards; •
  • --ASF Regulation 05/2018 on reporting; •
  • --Law 297/2004 on the capital market; •
  • --BVB regulations, etc. •
  • --Assessing, on a sample basis, the recognition in the financial period of revenues recorded near the end of the financial year, by comparing the selected transactions with the relevant documentation; •
  • --Obtaining confirmations of customer balances at the end of the year, on a sample basis: •
  • --Examining the sales register after the end of the financial year to identify significant credit notes issued and inspecting the relevant documentation to assess whether the related revenues have been accounted for in the corresponding financial period; •
  • --In the financial year 2024, the economic activity of the company as a whole is lower than in previous years, which required additional audit diligence to be carried out in order to issue the audit opinion; •
  • --The issuance of an audit opinion involved the identification of values and amounts that significantly influence the values in the annual financial statements and that are in the category of values that require additional procedures on the part of the auditor to reduce the audit risk; •
  • --Obtaining and evaluating the responses received from the Company's management and discussing potential exposures with the Company's management. In this regard, special attention was paid to the analysis of the company's development strategy for the next period; •

Management's responsibilities for financial statements

The company's management is responsible for the preparation and faithful presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 and with the policies described in the notes to the financial statements.

This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining a relevant internal control for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that do not contain material misstatements due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; Making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the given circumstances.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue its business, for presenting, if applicable, business continuity issues and for using business continuity accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative outside of them.

The persons responsible for governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities in an audit of financial statements

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, based on the audit performed. We performed the audit according to the International Auditing Standards adopted by the Romanian Chamber of Financial Auditors. These standards require us to comply with the ethical requirements of the Chamber, to plan and carry out the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements do not contain material misstatements.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on the extent to which the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatements, caused by either fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the ISA will always detect significant misstatement, if any. Misrepresentations may be caused by either fraud or error and are considered material if it can reasonably be expected that they, individually or cumulatively, will influence users' economic decisions taken on the basis of those financial statements.

As part of an ISA-compliant audit, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Also:

  • --We identify and assess risks of material misstatement of financial statements, caused by either fraud or error, design and execute audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of non-detection of material misstatement due to fraud is higher than that of non-detection of material misstatement due to error, as fraud may involve secret agreements, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation and avoidance of internal control. •
  • --We understand audit-relevant internal control, with a view to designing audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. •
  • --We assess the adequacy of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management •
  • --We formulate a conclusion on the adequacy of management's use of accounting on a going concern basis and determine, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there is significant uncertainty regarding events or conditions that could give rise to •

significant doubts regarding the Company's ability to continue its activity. If we conclude that there is material uncertainty, we must draw attention in the auditor's report to the related presentations in the financial statements or, if these presentations are inadequate, change our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to carry out its activity based on the principle of business continuity

--We evaluate the presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including disclosures, and the extent to which the financial statements reflect the transactions and events underlying them in a manner that results in a true and fair presentation. •

We communicate to those responsible for governance, among other things, the planned area and timing of the audit, as well as the main findings of the audit, including any significant weaknesses in internal control, that we identify during the audit.

Other legal and regulatory provisions

We were appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders to audit the company's financial statements for the financial year ended on 31.12.2024 The total uninterrupted duration of our commitment is one year, covering the financial year ended on 31.12.2024.

We did not provide forbidden non-audit services for the company, referred to in art.5 para. (1) of the UR Regulation no. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and we remain independent from the company during the audit.

Other aspects

This report of the independent auditor is addressed exclusively to the shareholders of the company as a whole. Our audit was carried out in order to be able to report to the company's shareholders those aspects that we should report in a Financial Audit report, and not for other purposes. To the extent permitted by law, we only accept and assume responsibility for the company and its shareholders as a whole for our audit, for this report or for the opinion formed.

The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company in accordance with the Requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards. Therefore, the attached financial statements are not prepared for the use of persons who are not familiar with the Accounting and Legal Regulations in Romania, including O.M.F.P. no. 2844/2016 .

The partner of the audit mission on the basis of which this report was prepared is Sergiu Cobîrzan.

Other information – Administrators' Report

The directors are responsible for preparing and submitting the Directors' Report in accordance with the requirements of O.M.F.P. no. 2844/2016, paragraphs 15 – 19, which do not contain significant misstatements and for that internal control that the management deems necessary to allow the preparation of the directors' report that does not contain significant misstatements, due to fraud or error.

In accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016, we examined the Administrators' Report, attached to the financial statements. The directors' report is not part of the individual financial statements.

Our opinion on the individual financial statements does not cover the directors' report.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended, we have read the Directors' Report attached to the financial statements and we specify that:

  • --In the directors' report, we did not identify information that was not consistent, in all material aspects, with the information presented in the individual financial statements attached; •
  • --The directors' report identified above includes, in all material aspects, the information required by O.M.F.P. no. 2844/2016, paragraphs 15-19; •
  • --Based on our knowledge and understanding acquired during the audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended 31.12.2024 regarding the Company and its environment, we have not identified any information included in the Directors' Report that is materially erroneous. •

With regard to the Remuneration Report, based on our knowledge and understanding regarding the Company and its environment, acquired during the audit of the individual financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, we report that it has been prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the provisions of Law 24/2017, paragraphs 106-107, and we have not identified significant misstatements in the way it was prepared.
