2. Basis for the preparation of the separate financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and approved by the European Union (IFRS, as adopted by the EU). The term “IFRS, as adopted by the EU” has the meaning of paragraph 1, subparagraph 8 of the Additional provisions of Bulgarian Accountancy Act, which is International Accounting Standards (IAS) adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The separate financial statements are presented in Bulgarian leva (BGN), which is also the functional currency of the Company. All amounts are presented in thousand Bulgarian leva (BGN ‘000) (including comparative information for 2020), unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements are separate financial statements. The Company also prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and approved by EU. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for and disclosed in accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”.
The separate financial statements are prepared under the going concern principle.
Emergency epidemic situation in Bulgaria from 14 May 2020 to 31 March 2022
On 13 May 2020, the Council of Ministers declared an epidemic emergency situation, as of 14 May 2020, which was extended periodically before its expiration. As of the date of preparation of these financial statements, the emergency epidemic situation was extended by the government to 31 March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle and taking into account the possible effects of the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused serious difficulties in the business and economic activities of a number of enterprises and entire economic sectors worldwide. Some of the measures taken to limit the spread of the virus were related to travel bans, quarantine, social distancing and the closure of non-essential services. This caused significant disruption to businesses around the world, which led to economic slowdown and had a direct negative effect on the activities of many companies from different sectors of the economy, among the most affected is the air transport sector, in which the Company has significant investment.
The management of the Company monitors in a timely manner the development of the pandemic, the adopted and imposed anti-epidemiological measures and analyses their possible effects on the operational and financial condition of the Company and its investments, in order to balance liquidity positions and ensure financial stability. With regard to investments in air transport, the effects of the measures taken in response to the deteriorating economic situation, related to continued financial support for these activities, monitoring and control of inflows and outflows, analysis of existing flight capacity and its revision are also taken into account in the short term, in line with the current situation, assistance in renegotiating the terms with key suppliers of the airline in order to optimize costs and effectively manage liquidity flows, as well as steps to engage international experts with proven experience in aviation crisis management.
Businesses need to deal with challenges related to reduced revenues and disrupted supply chains. The pandemic has led to significant volatility in the financial and commodity markets in Bulgaria and worldwide. Various governments, including Bulgaria, have announced measures to provide both financial and non-financial assistance to the affected sectors and affected business organizations.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are presented in the relevant notes to the separate financial statements. The Company has provided detailed disclosures in note 35 regarding risk management policies and the effects of Covid-19 on them.
In the light of the actions taken by various governments, incl. Bulgarian, dynamic measures to restrict the movement of people and the changes imposed by it, directly affecting the development of the economic sectors of the Republic of Bulgaria, EU countries and other trading partners of companies in the country. The Company’s management is unable to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the future financial condition and performance of the Company but considers that the impact could lead to volatility in market and price risk associated with the Company’s financial assets and it is possible to have a negative effect on the activity of borrowers and respectively the results of the activity of the Company. The Company management expectations are that the negative effects will subside after the restrictions on the movement of people, vehicles and goods are lifted.
Economic activity is expected to be positively affected by the announced support measures and the allocated additional state and European funds, leading to additional public guarantees of debt portfolios, additional interest-free financing of economic entities and direct aid to the affected companies and individuals. As far as these measures are supplemented, expanded and extended, the Management of the Company is not able to assess the final effect on the economic activity, which also depends on the currently unknown duration of the introduced quarantine restrictions.
In these circumstances, the Company's management has analyzed and assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern based on available information about the foreseeable future. Management expects that the Company has sufficient financial resources to continue its operations in the near future and continues to apply the going concern principle in preparing the separate financial statements.
3. Changes in accounting policy
3.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021
The Company has adopted the new accounting pronouncements which have become effective this year, and are as follows:
-
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 effective from 1 January 2021 adopted by the EU. Amendments proposed are such that address issues that might affect financial reporting after the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including its replacement with alternative benchmark rates. Phase 2 of the project dealt with replacement issues, therefore, the amendments published address issues that might affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is actually replaced.
-
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Covid-19- Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 effective from 1 April 2021 adopted by the EU. 'Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions extends by one year, beyond 30 June 2021, the May 2020 amendment that provides lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. The Changes in Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendment to IFRS 16) amend IFRS 16 to:
- permit a lessee to apply the practical expedient regarding COVID-19-related rent concessions to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (rather than only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021);
- require a lessee applying the amendment to do so for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021;
- require a lessee applying the amendment to do so retrospectively, recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the lessee first applies the amendment;
- and specify that, in the reporting period in which a lessee first applies the amendment, a lessee is not required to disclose the information required by paragraph 28(f) of IAS 8.
3.2.# Standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued, but are not effective or adopted by the EU for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2021 and have not been applied early by the Company. They are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement.

4. Significant accounting policies
4.1. Overall considerations
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these separate financial statements are summarized below. The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below. It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used for the preparation of the separate financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
4.2. Presentation of financial statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company has elected to present the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a single statement. Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when the Company:
i) applies an accounting policy retrospectively;
ii) makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements; or
iii) reclassifies items in the financial statements.
In 2021 the Company presents one comparative period.
4.3. Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are firms under the control of the Company. The Company controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. In the financial statements of the Company investment in subsidiaries is accounted at cost of the investment. The Company recognizes a dividend from a subsidiary in profit or loss in its separate financial statements when its right to receive the dividend is established.
4.4. Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate as published by the Bulgarian National Bank). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
4.5. Segment reporting
In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Company's main activities performed by the Company. The activity of the Company is performed in one segment on separate financial statements basis, which is the financial sector. There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.
Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021 11
4.6. Revenue
Revenue arises from rendering of services. Revenue from rendering of services is presented in note 24. To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer
2. Identifying the performance obligations
3. Determining the transaction price
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
4.6.1. Revenue recognized over time
4.6.1.1. Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the services are provided by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the reporting date
4.7. Interest and dividend income
Interest income is reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized at the time the right to receive payment is established.
4.8. Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of the service or at the date of their origin.
4.9. Interest expense and borrowing costs
Interest expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs primarily comprise interest on the Company's borrowings. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “Interest expense”.
4.10. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost, which comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. After initial recognition property, plant and equipment are carried at its cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the respective period. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance. All other subsequent expenditure is recognized as incurred. Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated by management as required, but at least annually. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of individual assets as follows:
- Buildings 25 years
- Machines and equipment 3-5 years
- Computers 2 years
- Others 7 years
Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021 12
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “Gain on sale of non- current assets”. The recognition threshold adopted by the Company for property, plant and equipment amounts to BGN 700.
4.11. Leases
Lessor
The accounting policy of the Company, according to IFRS 16, has not changed compared to the comparative period. As a lessor, the Company classifies its leases as operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset, and as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset.
4.12. Impairment testing of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment, and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All assets and cash-generating units are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.# An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganizations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect their respective risk profiles as assessed by management. Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce the carrying amount of the assets allocated to that cash-generating unit. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
4.13. Investment property
The investment property of the Company includes buildings held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation and are accounted for using the fair value model. The investment property is initially measured at cost, which comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable expenses, e. g. legal fees, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs. The investment property is revalued annually and is included in the separate statement of financial position at its open market value. This is determined by an independent appraiser with professional qualification and significant experience with respect to both the location and the nature of the investment property and supported by sufficient market evidence. Any gain or loss resulting from either a change in the fair value or the sale of an investment property is immediately recognized in profit or loss within “Revenue from non-financial activity”. Subsequent expenditure relating to investment property, which is already recognized in the Company’s financial statements, is added to the carrying amount of the investment property when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the existing investment property to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed value. All other subsequent expenditure is recognized as incurred.

The investment property is derecognized upon its sale or permanent withdrawal from use in case that no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of investment properties are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss. Rental income and operating expenses from investment property are reported within “Revenue from non-financial activities” and “Operating expenses”, respectively, and are recognized as described in note 4.6 and note 4.8.
4.14. Financial instruments under IFRS 9
4.15. Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires.
4.15.1. Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted with transaction costs that are reported as current expenses. The initial measurement of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component represents the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15. Depending on the method of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
- Debt instruments at amortized cost;
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) with or without reclassification in profit or loss, depending on whether they are debt or equity instruments.
The classification is determined by both:
- the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset;
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss, are included in gain and loss from transactions with financial instruments in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
4.15.2. Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Debt instruments at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the assets meet the following conditions and are not designated as FVTPL:
- they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows;
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
This category includes non-derivative financial assets like loans and receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services sold in the ordinary course of business. Typically, they are due to be settled within a short timeframe and are therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are initially recognized at amortized cost unless they contain significant financial components. The Company holds trade receivables for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model than “hold to collect” or “hold to collect and sell”, and financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
The Company accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:
- they are held under a business model whose objective it is “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The financial assets at FVOCI include:
- Equity securities that are not held for trading and which at initial recognition the company irrevocably has chosen to recognize in this category.
- Debt securities where the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, and the purpose of the company's business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling the financial assets.
On disposal of equity instruments of this category, any amount recognized in the revaluation reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. On disposal of debt instruments of this category, any amount recognized in the revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss for the period.
4.15.3. Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the “expected credit loss” (ECL) model. Instruments within the scope of the requirements include loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortized cost/ FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognized and measured under IFRS 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Company first identifying a credit loss event. Instead, the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
- financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (Stage 1) and
- financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (Stage 2)
- Stage 3 would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.# Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021
“12-month expected credit losses” are recognized for the first category while “lifetime expected credit losses” are recognized for the second category. Expected credit losses are determined as the difference between all contractual cash flows attributable to the Company and the cash flows it is actually expected to receive (“cash shortfall”). This difference is discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit risk adjusted effective interest rate). Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Trade and other receivables
The Company makes use of a simplified approach in estimating the expected credit loss for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators, and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
4.15.4. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, finance lease payments, trade, and other financial payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
4.15.5. Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include bank loans, overdrafts, trade and other payables Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual agreements for payment of cash amounts or another financial asset to another company or contractual liability for exchange of financial instruments with another company under unfavorable terms. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within “Finance costs” or “Finance income”. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. Bank loans are raised for support of long-term funding of the Company’s operations. They are recognized in the separate statement of financial position of the Company, net of any costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the financial liability to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Trade payables are recognized initially at their nominal value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less settlement payments. Dividends payable to shareholders are recognized when the dividends are approved at the general meeting of the shareholders.
4.16. Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current
Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021
tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. For management's assessment of the probability of future taxable income to utilize against deferred tax assets, see note 4.21. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
4.17. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, current bank accounts and demand deposits.
4.18. Equity, reserves and dividend payments
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium Other reserves are based on the requirements of the Trade act for the formation of legal reserves. Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits and uncovered losses. All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately within the separate statement of changes in equity.
4.19. Pension and short-term employee benefits
The Company reports short-term payables relating to unutilized paid leaves, which shall be compensated in case it is expected the leaves to occur within 12 months after the end of the accounting period during which the employees have performed the work related to those leaves. The short-term payables to personnel include wages, salaries and related social security payments. In accordance with Labor Code requirements, in case of retirement, after the employee has gained the legal right of pension due to years of services and age, the Company is obliged to pay him/her compensation at the amount of up to six gross wages. The liability recognized in the separate statement of financial position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. Management estimates the defined benefit obligation annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. The estimate of its post-retirement benefit obligations is based on standard rates of inflation, expected resignation rate and mortality. It also takes into account the Company's specific anticipation of future salary increases. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to yield of government bonds. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the other comprehensive income.
Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021
Interest expenses related to pension obligations are included in “Interest expenses” in the separate statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income. All other post-employment benefit expenses are included in “Operating expenses”. Short-term employee benefits, including holiday entitlement, are current liabilities included in “Pension and other employee obligations”, measured at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
4.20. Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events. Restructuring provisions are recognized only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan’s main features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.# Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. In those cases, where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognized. Contingent liabilities are subsequently measured at the higher of the above-described comparable provision and initially recognized value, less accumulated amortization. Possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets.
4.21. Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. Critical estimation uncertainties are described in note 4.22.
4.21.1. Deferred tax assets
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilized is based on the Company's latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non- taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognized in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.
4.21.2. Debt instruments measured at amortized cost
Management's analysis and intentions are confirmed by the business model of holding debt instruments, which meet the requirements for receiving payments only of principal and interest and holding assets until the collection of the agreed cash flows from bonds, which are classified as debt instruments measured at amortized cost. This decision is consistent with the current liquidity and capital of the Company.
4.22. Estimation uncertainty
When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021 18 The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below.
4.22.1. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value- in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows (see note 4.12). In calculating expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions about future gross profits. These assumptions are related to future events and circumstances and may be affected by the economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Actual results may vary and require significant adjustments to the Company's assets in the next reporting year, especially in the air transport sector, in which the Company has significant investments. In most cases, the determination of the applicable discount factor assesses the appropriate adjustments in relation to market risk and risk factors that are specific to individual assets. In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate adjustment to market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.
4.22.2. Measuring the expected credit losses
Credit losses represent the difference between all contractual cash flows due to the Company and all cash flows that the Company expects to receive. Expected credit losses are probabilistic weighted estimates of credit losses that require the Company's judgment, which may be affected by the economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Expected credit losses are discounted at the original effective interest rate.
4.22.3. Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. At 31 December 2020 management assesses that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Company. The carrying amounts are analyzed in note 5. Actual results, however, may vary due to technical obsolescence.
4.22.4. Defined benefit liability
Management estimates the defined benefit liability annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. The actual outcome may vary due to estimation uncertainties. The actual outcome may vary due to estimation uncertainties. The estimate of its defined benefit liability BGN 42 thousand (2020 – BGN 45 thousand) is based on standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends and mortality. It also takes into account the Company's specific anticipation of future salary increases. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to the return on government securities.
4.22.5. Fair value measurement
Management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments in the absence of quoted prices in an active market. Details of the assumptions used are provided in the notes on financial assets and liabilities. When applying valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market data and assumptions that market participants would accept when valuing a financial instrument. When relevant market data are lacking, management uses its best assessment of the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may differ from the actual prices that would have been determined in a fair market transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period and may be affected by the economic uncertainty associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.

35.# Financial instrument risk
Risk management objectives and policies
The Company is exposed to various types of risks with respect to its financial instruments. For more information on the financial assets and liabilities by categories of the Company, see note 34. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close co-operation with the managing board and focuses on actively securing the Company's short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns. As a result of the use of financial instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk and in particular to the risk of changes in the exchange rate, interest rate risk and risk of changes in specific prices due to the operating and investment activities of the Company.
35.1. Market risk analysis
35.1.1. Foreign currency risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Bulgarian leva (BGN). Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company's foreign sales and purchases, which are primarily denominated in Euro and US-Dollars. To mitigate the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, non-BGN cash flows are monitored, and forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance with Company’s risk management policies. Generally, Company’s risk management procedures distinguish short-term foreign currency cash flows (due within 6 months) from longer-term cash flows. Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely offset one another, no further hedging activity is undertaken.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Company to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated into Bulgarian leva at the closing rate:
| Short-term exposure | Long-term exposure | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD | EUR | USD | EUR | ||
| BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 | ||

Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021 35
The following tables illustrate the sensitivity of post-tax financial result for the year and equity in regard to exchange rate differences between the Bulgarian Lev (BGN) and the following currencies ‘all other things being equal. The table assumes that the percentage change as at 31 December 2021 of the exchange rate of Bulgarian lev against the US dollar is +/-3.8 % (2020: 6.5 %). These percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Company's foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date. If the exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev against the US dollar increases / decreases by +/- 3.8% (2020: +/- 6.5 %), the change will be reflected in the following way:
| Net financial result | Net financial result | |
|---|---|---|
| Increase of the exchange rate | Decrease of the exchange rate | |
| BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 | |
| 31 December 2021 | 5 | (5) |
| 31 December 2020 | 7 | (7) |
Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Company's exposure to currency risk. The development of the global pandemic has affected the economies of countries at the global level and, accordingly, has no pronounced effect on the currency of a particular individual country and hence the design of specific currency risk. As the Company's net result of exchange rate fluctuations in 2021 is a loss due mainly to currency revaluation, it is not possible to estimate what part of this result has occurred as a result of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and what due to market and political factors related to the development of exchange rates. The process of economic recovery in different countries is happening at different speeds, influenced by their ability to organize a process of vaccinating their populations, and hence the currency of these countries will change its course from those in which the pandemic continues to rage. The EU and Bulgaria are in a situation of a slow process of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, but as far as the Bulgarian lev is pegged to the euro and the Company's exposure in US dollars is not significant, the Company's currency risk has no direct effect from the Covid-19 pandemic.
35.1.2. Interest risk
The Company's policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. Therefore, long-term debt is usually with fixed interest rates. As at 31 December 2021, the bank's variable-rate bank borrowings do not expose the Company to material interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company are at fixed interest rates.
35.1.3. Other price risk
The Company is exposed to other price risk in respect of the following direct investments in subsidiaries, the shares of which are listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange:
- Central Cooperative Bank AD – subsidiary;
- Oil and Gas Exploration and Production AD – subsidiary;
- Zarneni Hrani Bulgaria AD - subsidiary
Investments in shares of subsidiary companies traded on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange act as long- term strategic investments. In accordance with the policy of the Company no specific hedging activities have been initiated in connection with such investments. The operation of these companies is monitored on a regular basis and the control or significant influence over these companies is used to maintain the value of the investments in these companies.
35.2. Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting loans and receivables to customers, placing deposits, etc. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at the reporting date, as summarized below:
Chimimport AD Separate Financial Statements 31 December 2021 36
| Classes of financial assets – carrying amounts: | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 | BGN‘000 |
| Securities / financial assets / | 248 289 | 240 428 |
| Loans granted | 106 937 | 110 620 |
| Related party receivables | 224 663 | 219 983 |
| Trade and other financial receivables | 48 027 | 49 850 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 70 075 | 70 472 |
| Carrying amount | 697 991 | 691 353 |
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company's policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Company's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. None of the Company’s financial assets are pledged as collateral on other transactions. In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, debentures and derivate financial instruments is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. The carrying amounts disclosed above are the Company’s maximum possible risk exposure in relation to these financial instruments.
As the company operates through its investments in various sectors of the economy, supply chain disruptions, disruptions in transport flows and quarantine measures have a direct impact on some sectors such as air transport. The impact of the pandemic is reflected through the effect on the activity of investments and the volatility in the prices of the financial instruments that the Company owns. Throughout entire 2021 and 2020 there was a high degree of uncertainty in assessing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the macroeconomic development of individual economies. Estimates ranged from catastrophic declines to levels close to those initially projected. Individual countries, depending on their approaches to dealing with the pandemic and the introduced closures ("lockdowns"), registered different elasticity of change of the individual macroeconomic indicators compared to the baseline forecasts made since the beginning of the year. Great importance also had the support measures introduced in the various countries, which sought to greatly support the income of employees in closed companies and to prevent rising unemployment and a collapse in consumption. To the extent that these measures varied in intensity, volume and success from country to country, the effect was different in terms of macroeconomic parameters. In this situation, various governments, including the Bulgarian announcement of measures to provide direct financial assistance and non-financial assistance to detect sectors and business organizations. Similarly, actions were taken to support and stimulate the economy and economic entities the various regulators - the ECB, EBA, BNB.The models used by the Company to assess credit losses have not been changed related to the global pandemic of Covid-19, as their accuracy and adequacy depends on the risk parameters that serve to calculate the amount of expected credit losses.
35.3. Liquidity risk analysis
The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period. The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.
As at 31 December 2021 the Company's liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:
| Short-term | Long-term | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Within 6 months | Within 12 months | 2 to 5 years | |
| BGN ‘000 | BGN ‘000 | BGN ‘000 | |
| Bank and other borrowings | 486 | - | 31 139 |
| Related party payables | 91 549 | 75 554 | 21 833 |
| Trade and other payables | 474 | - | - |
| Total | 92 509 | 75 554 | 52 972 |
As at 31 December 2020 the Company's liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:
| Short-term | Long-term | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Within 6 months | Within 12 months | 2 to 5 years | |
| BGN ‘000 | BGN ‘000 | BGN ‘000 | |
| Bank and other borrowings | 2 449 | 5 352 | 41 791 |

| Trade and other payables | 514 | - | - |
| Total | 82 613 | 91 819 | 63 112 |
The above amounts reflect the contractual undiscounted cash flows, which may differ from the carrying values of the liabilities at the reporting date. Annual interest payments amount to BGN 1 405 thousand (2020: BGN 2 621 thousand).
Financial assets used for managing liquidity risk
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Company's existing cash resources and trade receivables significantly exceed the current cash outflow requirements. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within 1 year.
36. Fair value measurement
36.1. Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is presented in comparison with their carrying value at the end of the reporting periods in the table below:
| Financial assets | 31 December 2021 | 31 December 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value BGN‘000 | Carrying amount BGN‘000 | Fair value BGN‘000 | Carrying amount BGN‘000 | |
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | 234 207 | 234 207 | 226 346 | 226 346 |
| 234 207 | 234 207 | 226 346 | 226 346 |
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the separate statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the separate statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| 31 December 2021 | 31 December 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 3 BGN‘000 | Level 3 BGN‘000 | |||
| Assets | ||||
| Non-listed equity instruments | 234 207 | 226 346 | ||
| Total | 234 207 | 226 346 |
There have been no significant transfers between levels in the reporting periods.
Measurement of fair value
The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting period and are as follows.
Shares, not publicly traded
The fair value measurement is based on observed prices of recent market transactions with equities of similar companies adjusted for specific factors.
36.2. Fair value measurement of non-financial assets
The following table presents the levels in the hierarchy of non-financial assets as at 31 December 2020, measured periodically at fair value:
| 31 December 2021 | 31 December 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 3 BGN‘000 | Level 3 BGN‘000 | |||
| Assets | ||||
| Investment property - land and buildings | 35 831 | 35 831 |
Land and buildings (Level 3)
The fair value of the investment properties is determined by the Company on the basis of the weighted average of the values derived from asset approach, market approach and income approach as at 31 December 2021 by independent licensed appraisers.
37. Capital management policies and procedures
The Company's capital management objectives are:
- to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and
- to provide an adequate return to the shareholder by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the correlation between capital and net debt. The Company determines the capital based on the carrying amount of equity included in the separate statement of financial position. Net debt comprises of total liabilities less the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents. The objective of the Company is to maintain a ratio of capital to net debt at levels which would ensure relevant and conservative ratio of financing. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts according to changes in the economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The amount of the correlation for the presented accounting periods is summarized as follows:
| 2021 BGN‘000 | 2020 BGN‘000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity | 1 283 761 | 1 262 432 |
| Capital | 1 283 761 | 1 262 432 |
| +Total Liabilities | 241 894 | 256 870 |
| -Cash and cash equivalents | (70 075) | (70 472) |
| Net debt | 171 819 | 186 398 |
| Capital to net debt | 1:0.13 | 1:0.15 |
The ratio in 2021 is the same compared to 2020. The decrease is mainly due to early repaid bank loans. The Company has complied with the terms of its contractual obligations, including the maintenance of certain capital ratios.
38. Post-reporting date events
No significant adjusting or non-adjusting events occurred between the date of the separate financial statements and the date of its approval by management on 31 March 2022 for publication, except for the following non-adjusting events:
In connection with the ongoing global pandemic of Covid-19, described in Note 2 to these separate financial statements, the duration of the emergency epidemic situation in Bulgaria was extended until 31 March 2022. In view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Company's management is unable to assess the impact of a potential new wave or strain on its future financial condition and performance, but considers that with a fading effect, the potential impact could lead to more-weak volatility of the market and price risk related to the financial assets of the Company and less likelihood of negative effects on its activities. The abolition of the imposed emergency measures and restrictions by the various countries and governments will have a positive effect on economic activity.
On 21 February 2022, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic were recognized as independent states. On 24 February 2022, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced a "special military operation" on the territory of the Republic of Ukraine.
The military actions started on the territory of the Republic of Ukraine and the related measures, which were introduced by the countries of the European Union, incl. Bulgaria vis-à-vis Russia (Russian Federation) and reciprocally - create geopolitical, macroeconomic and market tensions, which are expressed in high prices of goods, energy resources, inflation and market fluctuations. The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine cannot be assessed, but they are already indicating extremely serious effects on the overall global economy. Energy and raw material prices - including wheat and other cereals - have risen sharply, further exacerbating inflationary pressures from supply chain disruptions and the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. Price shocks are expected to have an impact worldwide. If the conflict develops negatively or lasts for a longer period of time, the economic damage will be significant and is expected to affect all sectors of the economy, both Bulgaria and the EU.# ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2021
GENERAL INFORMATION
As of 31 December 2021, the Company's exposure to persons from Russia / Russian Federation and Ukraine amounts to 0.51% of the balance sheet assets and is formed almost entirely by exposure to equity instruments in a financial institution in Russia / Russian Federation and funds deposited in the same. As of the date of this report, the equity exposure has been sold, with the residual exposure to individuals from Russia / Russian Federation and Ukraine being less than 0.07% of total assets, none of which is to those affected by sanctions regimes. The exposure to these persons is almost entirely formed in euros and in this sense is not affected by the currency fluctuations of the national currencies of the two countries. The capital control measures introduced in Russia / Russian Federation would prevent the withdrawal of this exposure at any time, but the bank has defended its position by attracting deposits from the same persons denominated in the same currency - the euro, in excess of the direct your exposure. As of the date of the report, no threats for negative changes in the financial condition of the Company's counterparties with indirect business dependence on the Russian and Ukrainian markets have been identified. The management of the Company will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all possible measures to mitigate any potential effects. The management of the Company has taken a set of organizational measures in order for the Company to meet all restrictions and sanctions imposed on the transfer of funds to and from Russia and / or sanctioned persons and institutions, including activities to increase and strengthen protection against potential malicious acts and attacks on information resources and infrastructure.
39. Authorization of the financial statements

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting loans and receivables to customers, placing deposits, etc. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at the reporting date, as summarized below:
| Classes of financial assets –carrying amounts: | 2021 BGN’000 | 2020 BGN’000 |
|---|---|---|
| Securities /financial assets/ | 248 289 | 240 428 |
| Loans granted | 106 937 | 110 620 |
| Related party receivables | 224 663 | 219 983 |
| Trade and other receivables | 48 027 | 49 850 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 70 075 | 70 472 |

The Company's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. None of the Company's financial assets are pledged as collateral on other transactions.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, debentures and derivate financial instruments is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. The carrying amounts disclosed above are the Company's maximum possible risk exposure in relation to these financial instruments.
During the reporting period, the Company's activities were affected by the spread of a new coronavirus (Covid-19), and in early 2020 worldwide, there were difficulties in the business and economic activities of a number of enterprises and entire economic sectors. In Bulgaria, the effects of this virus began to manifest themselves from the beginning of March 2020, and on 13 March 2020 the National Assembly decided to declare a state of emergency for a period of one month. On 24 March 2020, the Parliament adopted the Law on Measures and Actions during the State of Emergency, announced by a decision of the National Assembly of 13 March 2020, and on overcoming the consequences (Title, SG No. 44 of 2020, effective 14.05.2020) ”. Subsequently, the state of emergency was extended for another month and remained in force until 13 May 2020. After that date, on 13 May 2020, the Council of Ministers declared an emergency epidemic situation, as of 14 May 2020, which was extended periodically before its expiration.

As the company operates through its investments in various sectors of the economy, supply chain disruptions, disruptions in transport flows and quarantine measures have a direct impact on some sectors such as air transport, the impact of the pandemic is reflected in the effect on investment and price volatility. the financial instruments that the Company owns. In 2020, as well as at the date of preparation of these financial statements, travel bans, quarantine measures and restrictions are in force. Businesses need to deal with challenges related to reduced revenues and disrupted supply chains. With the development of the second and third waves of the pandemic and the slow process of vaccination and extension of measures in EU countries (including Bulgaria) in the second quarter of 2021, there are objective obstacles to the activities of companies in individual economic sectors and a large dose uncertainty about when revenues and normal operations will be restored.
Throughout 2020, there was a high degree of uncertainty in assessing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the macroeconomic development of individual economies. Estimates ranged from catastrophic declines to levels close to those initially projected. Individual countries, depending on their approaches to dealing with the pandemic and the introduced closures ("lockdowns"), registered different elasticity of change of the individual macroeconomic indicators compared to the baseline forecasts made since the beginning of the year. Also of great importance were the support measures introduced in the various countries, which sought to largely support the income of employees in closed companies and to prevent rising unemployment and a collapse in consumption. To the extent that these measures varied in intensity, volume and success from country to country, the effect was different in terms of macroeconomic parameters. In this situation, various governments, including the Bulgarian one, have announced measures to provide both direct financial and non-financial assistance to the affected sectors and business organizations. In a similar way, the various regulators supported and stimulated the economy and the economic entities.

Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of Chimimport AD
Sofia 1000
2, Stefan Karadja Str.
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the separate financial statements of Chimimport AD ("the Company") containing the separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the separate statement of changes in equity and the separate statement of cash flow for the year then ended, as well as the notes to the separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU and Bulgarian legislation.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independent Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), together with the ethical requirements of Bulgarian Independent Financial Audit Act, and we have fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 41 Post reporting date events to the separate financial statements, which discloses, that the Company's management is unable to reliably assess the impact of military action in Ukraine on the future financial situation and results of its activities in 2022 in terms of the overall effects on the national economy, energy prices, inflation and other economic sectors, but considers that there may be a negative impact. The change in the business environment as a result of the expected negative effects could lead to a potential change in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and the company's performance and investments, which are assessed in the separate financial statements after a number of judgments and assumptions by the management, taking into account the most reliable information available at the date of the estimates. The Company's management monitors the development of the military conflict in a timely manner and analyzes their possible effects on the operational and financial condition of the Company and its investments, in order to balance liquidity positions and ensure financial stability. The Company's management will continue to monitor the potential effects on all economic sectors and other countries in the region, in particular those related to the activities of its investments, taking all necessary measures to limit the potential future negative effects on the financial condition and the results of its activities.
Our opinion has not been modified on this issue.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of highest significance in our audit of the separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Notes 4.22 and 7 to the separate financial statements
| Key audit matter | How this matter was addressed during the audit ## Report of the Independent Auditor
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and Bulgarian legislation, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and Bulgarian Independent Financial Audit Act will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.
As part of our audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We have also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
- conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In addition to our responsibilities for reporting under ISAs, described above in section “Information Other than the separate financial statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon”, regarding annual activity report, including the corporate governance statement, the report on the implementation of the remuneration policy and the non-financial declaration, we have performed the additional procedures contained in the Guidelines of the professional organization of certified public accountants and registered auditors in Bulgaria - Institute of Certified Public Accountants (ICPA).

Statement Pursuant to Article 100m, Paragraph (10) of the Law on Public Offering of Securities
