5. Trade and other liabilities

On 31 March 2015 and on 31 December 2014 trade and other liabilities were as follows:

31 March 2014 31 December 2014
Trade liabilities 814,366,983 1,040,377,900
Other liabilities 188,166,633 130,646,110

Total 842,865,455 1,056,178,011
Structure of trade liabilities:
31 March 2015 31 December 2014
Clients – energy market 809,432,550 1,038,359,848
Other clients 4,934,433 2,018,052
Total 814,366,983 1,040,377,900

On 31 March 2015 the balance of trade liabilities was in sum of 814.366.983 Lei and mainly represented the clients on the electricity market in sum of 809,432,550 Lei (99%), of which clients paying the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration in sum of 209,907,541 Lei.

On 31 March 2015 the clients on balance registered a decrease compared to 31 December 2014 mainly due to increased collection of liabilities in comparison with 2014.

Thus on 31 March 2015 the Company registered diminished liabilities related to the support scheme (136,886,215 Lei on 31 March 2015; 237,121,052 Lei on 31 December 2014) coming mainly from the over-compensation of electricity and heat generation under high efficiency cogeneration in 2011-2013 (in accordance with the provisions of GD 1215/2009).

From 1 January to 31 March 2015 the Company collected 105,925,494 Lei from SC Electrocentrale Bucharest SA and from SC Termo Calor SA representing over-compensation for 2011-2013, of which proceeds in sum of 98,505 Lei from bank transactions and proceeds based on compensations made by the IMI in sum of 105,826,989 Lei.

On 31 March 2015 the Company registered receivable liabilities in sum of 123,857,620 Lei from SC Termo Calor SA, RAAN, CET Govora and Electrocentrale Oradea from the 2011-2013 over-compensations.

In April 2015 the Company collected from Electrocentrale Oradea the liabilities for the 2011-2013 over-compensations in sum of 6,574,430 Lei, based on compensation made by the IMI.

Since the generators that over-compensation was registered for (Romanian Authority for Nuclear Activities RAAN RA, SC Electrocentrale Oradea SA, and CET Govora SA) refused compensating mutual liabilities, the Company has applied the provisions of article 17 par 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE approving the Regulation setting the manner to collect the high efficiency cogeneration contribution and paying the bonus for electricity produced from high-efficiency cogeneration: "in case the generator failed to pay the support scheme administrator all of its payment obligations resulting as per the provisions herein, the administrator of the support scheme will pay the generator the difference between the value of invoices issued by the generator and the generator's payment obligations related to the support scheme, with clear indication of the said amounts on the payment document" and has withheld the payment of the bonus owed to such generators for March 2014 to February 2015.

On 27.03.2015 ANRE President issued the overcompensation decisions, namely the quantum settling the ex-ante overcompensation after reviewing the overcompensation for electricity and heat generation under high efficiency cogeneration in the assessed period 01.01-2014-31.12.2014. To this effect during the new overcompensation activity of April 2015 the Company will issue invoices in sum of 48,800,270 Lei to SC Complex Energetic Oltenia SA, SC Electrocentrale Bucharest SA, SC Electrocentrale Oradea SA, SC Interagro SRL, and SC Termo Calor Confort SA.

The main clients on balance on the energy market are: RAAN, CET Govora, Electrica Furnizare, SC Petprod, SC Hidroelectrica SA, and Complex Energetic Oltenia; the share of such clients in the total gross liabilities of the electricity market is 52% (65% on 31 December 2014).

Other liabilities

On 31 March 2015 other liabilities in sum of 188,166,633 Lei included mainly:

  • Debtor suppliers for services provided in sum of 40,992,993 Lei, of which 40,932,122 Lei mean sums from transactions under the price coupling mechanism. The application of this price coupling mechanism began on 19 November 2014, when the "4M Market Coupling" project providing coupling of the day-ahead markets (DAM) of Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia became operational. In this price coupling mechanism of day-ahead markets the energy exchanges correlate the dayahead electric power transactions based on bids, taking into account the interconnection capacity that the TSO provided in order to implicitly allocate it. The CNTEE Transelectrica SA, in its capacity of TSO transfers the electricity both in physical and in commercial terms to the neighbouring TSO (MAVIR-Hungary) and administers the congestion revenues on such interconnection (article 139 from Order 82/2014 of ANRE), being Implicit Participant to the Day-Ahead Market for SC OPCOM SA.

As Transfer Agent and Implicit Participant, the CNTEE Transelectrica SA has got the commercial task to settle the power transacted between SC OPCOM SA and MAVIR.

  • Delay penalties calculated for bad payers in sum of 57,527,473 Lei, as well as receivables to be recovered from ANAF in sum of 44,442,936 Lei (see the paragraph below).

The greatest amounts for late payments were registered by SC Electrocentrale Bucharest SA (13,350,343 Lei), Romanian Authority for Nuclear Activities (4,512,508 Lei), SC CET Govora (4,191,935 Lei), SC Eco Energy SRL (2,466,321 Lei), SC Petprod SRL (1,697,405 Lei), amounts that were also adjusted and included in the allowances for other doubtful receivables.

Dispute with the National Agency for Fiscal Administration ("ANAF")

The Company is in litigation with ANAF, which issued a fiscal inspection report on 20 September 2011 on VAT return related to September 2005 – November 2006 for a number of 123 unused invoices identified as missing, these being documents with special circuit, and for which it estimated VAT collected of 16,303,174 Lei plus 27,195,557 Lei as penalties. The total value of such obligations is 43,498,731 Lei. The value of these obligations was retained from the VAT that the Company paid in November 2011. Later on the Company noticed the amounts paid as current VAT were considered as payments for the obligations set in the fore-mentioned fiscal inspection report. Thus the Company was compelled to pay additional penalties of 944,423 Lei for the VAT that should have been paid in November 2011, in order to avoid recording additional debts towards the State budget. In total in 2011 the Company paid 44,442,936 Lei. The Company resorted to all legal means to contest the tax return issued by ANAF, in which respect an appeal was filed against ANAF's return decision and asked suspending the decision enforcement until the administrative appeal filed against ANAF is settled. The law court denied the request to suspend the enforcement of the fiscal inspection report.

The Company deems the tax base has not been reasonably determined by ANAF, which has not taken into account the fully regulated nature of Company activities on the electricity market, so the taxation base is determined in proportion to the number and value of Company-issued invoices in the reviewed period. The Company considered it was entitled to bring action in court as it believes ANAF has not taken into account all the data and documents relevant for the estimation, as provided in the Fiscal Procedure Code then applicable. Thus the Company has sued ANAF to the Bucharest Court of Appeal in August 2012 to recover the amount and requested admission of the documents and of the accounting judiciary expertise as evidence. On 31 December 2014 the Company recorded depreciation amounting to 44,442,936 Lei for the total obligations paid in sum of 44,442,936 Lei, based on the estimated recovery chances.

On 18 September 2013 the expertise report was executed and submitted to the case file on 20 September 2013. On the hearing date of 18 October 2013 the parties expressed objections to the judiciary expertise report, which were admitted by the Court of Appeal on 15 November 2013, and then they were notified to the designated expert. On 7 March 2014 the expert submitted the answer to the Company objections. Compared to the revenues estimated by ANAF, based on which ANAF estimated VAT collected in sum of 16,303,174 Lei, the judiciary accounting expertise report found undue revenues in sum of 551,013 Lei, which should have been used when calculating the VAT and penalties. The hearing was adjourned in order to enable the parties' taking note of the expert's answer to the objections made to his report.

On the 30.04.2014 hearing the court of first instance, the Appeal Court of Bucharest, Section VIII of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes (Ruling 1356/2014) in File 6657/2/2012 settled as follows: "Denies the request of claimant CNTEE Transelectrica SA (Challenge of the Administrative fiscal deed of ANAF)". As at the completion date of these financial statements the court has not drawn up the ruling nor notified it to the Company. As of the notification date an appeal can be filed within the legal term.

Total short term loans 202,022,462 200,678,234

● Loans contracted for current activities

Short term bank credits in the form of credit lines are represented by the credit line contracted in January 2015 from BRD GROUP SOCIETE GENERALE SA, Big Corporative Clients Branch for 12 months to finance the bonus for the amount of electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration, available as overdraft in sum of 150,000,000 Lei. On 31.03.2015 the credit line has not been used.

The credit line contracted by Transelectrica from BRD GROUP SOCIETE GENERALE SA was secured by:

  • Chattel mortgage over the bank account opened with the bank;

  • Chattel mortgage over the receivables resulting from the contracts associated to the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration concluded with Cez Vânzare SA, E.ON Energie România SA, Repower Furnizare SRL, and Tinmar IND SA.

10. Trade and other liabilities

On 31 March 2015 and on 31 December 2014 trade and other liabilities were as follows:

31 March 2014 31 December 2013
Suppliers on the power market 451,805,204 572,297,292
Asset suppliers 29,563,006 41,160,838
Activity suppliers 17,349,266 34,888,693
Sums owed to employees 5,267,346 5,449,330
Other liabilities 86,053,940 291,860,573
Total 590,038,762 945,656,726

The decrease of liabilities to the suppliers on the electricity market was determined by the volume of transactions made on the balancing market and the payment obligations on balance as at 31 March 2015 on the electricity market, compared to 31 December 2014. Such decrease was influenced by the higher cogeneration bonus unpaid to suppliers in sum of 67,375,168 Lei (38,661,059 Lei on 31 December 2014).

The Company requested the generators that have not paid the overcompensation invoices to agree with compensating the mutual liabilities at their minimum level by means of the Institute of Management and Information (IMI) managing in uniform manner all the information received from tax-payers based on the provisions of GD 685/1999.

Taking into account that some of the generators having registered overcompensation (Romanian Authority for Nuclear Activities RAAN RA, SC Electrocentrale Oradea SA, and CET Govora SA) refused compensating mutual liabilities, the Company applied the provisions of article 17 par 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president approving the Regulation setting the manner to collect the high efficiency cogeneration contribution and paying the bonus for electricity produced under highefficiency cogeneration: "in case the generator failed to pay the support scheme administrator all of its payment obligations resulting as per the provisions herein, the administrator of the support scheme will pay the generator the difference between the value of invoices issued by the generator and the generator's payment obligations related to the support scheme, with clear indication of the said amounts on the payment document" and has withheld the payment of the bonus owed to such generators for March 2014 to February 2015.

Under such circumstances out of 67,375,168 Lei the Company withheld 59,454,744 Lei, which sum represents the bonus unpaid by the Company to the generators that have not returned the overcompensation in sum of 123,857,620 Lei to the Company (for them the Company has applied the provisions of article 17 par 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE).

On 27.03.2015 the President of ANRE issued the decisions regarding overcompensation, namely the settling quantum for the ex-ante overcompensation, after reviewing the overcompensation of electricity and heat generation under high efficiency cogeneration during the assessed period 01.01-2014-31.12.2014. For this new activity the Company will receive invoices in sum of 8,391,054 Lei from SC CET Govora, DC Dalkia Termo Iaşi SA, SC Energy Cogeneration Group SA, SC Modern Calor SA, and RAAN.

Electricity suppliers are mainly: SC Hidroelectrica SA, SC Complex Energetic Oltenia SA, Electrocentrale Bucharest, MAVIR and SC OMV Petrom SA. On 31 March 2015 their share in the total electricity suppliers was 60%.

The decrease in the balance of suppliers of non-current assets as at 31 March 2015 compared to 31 December 2014 was due to the payment of invoices outstanding as at 31 December 2014 at the beginning of 2015.

CN Transelectrica SA Notes to the separate temporary financial statements as at 31 March 2015 (All amounts are in LEI, unless stated otherwise)

The structure of other liabilities is as follows:

31 March 2015 31 December 2014
Sundry payables 79,628,932 239,153,690
Client-creditors 3,927,138 49,269,419
Dividends payable 1,031,221 1,124,073
Other liabilities 1,466,649 2,313,391
Total 86,053,940 291,860,573

On 31 March 2015 the 'Sundry payables' in sum of 79,628,932 Lei were mainly represented by the operations related to the support scheme in sum of 77,527,815, namely the net positive value between:

  • The overcompensation of electricity and heat generation under high efficiency cogeneration in 2011-2013 receivable from generators according to the decisions of ANRE (including the contribution collectable from the suppliers of electricity consumers) on the one hand and

  • The bonus payable to the generators of electricity under high efficiency cogeneration that are also beneficiaries of the support scheme, on the other hand;

On 31 March 2015 'Client creditors' amounted to 3,927,138 Lei, of which 70,962 Lei represented the daily payments made in March 2015 under the price coupling mechanism which will be settled in April 2015. The price coupling mechanism began being applied on 19 November 2014, on which date the '4M Market Coupling' Project coupling the day-ahead electricity markets from Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia became operational. In this price coupling mechanism of dayahead markets the energy exchanges correlate the day-ahead electric power transactions based on bids, taking into account the interconnection capacity that the TSO provided in order to implicitly allocate it. The CNTEE Transelectrica SA, in its capacity of TSO, transfers the electricity both in physical and in commercial terms to the neighbouring TSO (MAVIR-Hungary) and administers the congestion revenues on such interconnection (article 139 from Order 82/2014 of ANRE), being Implicit Participant to the Day-Ahead Market for SC OPCOM SA. Together with the Ministry of Economy from Moldova the Company is also conducting a feasibility study in order to interconnect Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to ENTSO.

As Transfer Agent and Implicit Participant the CNTEE Transelectrica SA has got the commercial task to settle the power transacted between SC OPCOM SA and MAVIR.

Chapter 'Other debts' points out the dividends owed to Company shareholders in sum of 1,031,221 Lei, of which 518,594 Lei associated to the dividends distributed from the 2013 profit, such amounts being at the shareholders' disposal by means of the payment agent.

The value of dividends owed to shareholders distributed from the 2013 profit amounted to 163,319,400 Lei. Dividends amounting to 162,762,696 Lei were paid until 31.12.2014.

11. Income tax

The tax on the Company's current and deferred income on 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2014 is determined by statutory 16% rate.

The income tax expense on 31 March 2015 and on 31 March 2014 was as follows:

31 March 2015 31 March 2014
Current tax expense 24,835,736 28,988,747
Deferred income tax (1,216,050) (3,529,350)
Total 23,619,686 25,459,397

12. Other tax and social security liabilities

On 31 March 2015 and on 31 December 2014 other tax and social security liabilities included:

31 March 2014 31 December 2014
Contribution to social security funds 3,938,289 4,801,378
Payable VAT 2,195,075 -
Tax on salaries 1,478,712 1,771,705
Other tax payable 1,216,684 1,004,804
Total 8,828,760 7,577,887

Tax increase was determined by higher payment obligations for VAT because transactions diminished on the balancing market and the Company is applying reverse tax for such transactions, according to the provisions of Law 571/2003 on the Fiscal Code.

13. Operational revenues

Operational revenues include revenues from services that the Company provided on the electricity market- transmission and system services; allocation of interconnection capacity; administration of the balancing market, and other revenues. Revenues from transmission and ssytem services were determined using the amounts of electricity delivered to consumers and the tariffs approved under ANRE Order.

Tariffs approved by ANRE for the services provided in Q1 2015 and in Q1 2014 were as follows:

Average tariff for
transmission services
Average tariff for
technologic system
services
Average tariff for
functional system
services
Order 51/2014– for Q1 2015 22.50 12.54 1.42
Order 96/2013– for Q1 2014 22.16 13.28 1.74

The average tariff of electricity transmission has two components: the tariff for electricity input into the grid (TG) and the tariff for electricity extraction from the grid (TL).

The amounts of electricity delivered to consumers where regulated tariffs are applied in Q1 2015, namely Q1 2014, were as follows:

1st quarter 2015 1st quarter 2014
Amount of electricity delivered to consumers (MWh) 14,015,577 13,481,471

Revenues achieved in Q1 2015 and in Q1 2014 were as follows:

QI 2015 QI 2014

Other revenues 9,432,603 14,032,263
Total revenues 779,122,913 698,870,695

Revenues from transmission services

In the first quarter of 2015 revenues from transmission services increased in sum of 23,904,838 Lei compared to the achievements of Q1 2014, determined by the higher electricity amount by about 4% (approx. 0.53 TWh) delivered to consumers and by the average tariffs increase for such services beginning with 01 July 2014.

Revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity

In the first quarter of 2015 revenues increased by 9,374,836 Lei compared to Q1 2014, which corresponded to the utilisation degree of interconnection capacities by traders on the electricity market due to greater electricity exports to the neighbouring markets of the Romanian Power System and to the application of coordinated bids with neighbouring countries, according to the EU regulations.

Revenues from transactions for technological losses

In accordance with Order 97/18.12.2013 of ANRE, beginning with 1 January 2014 Transelectrica is entitled to make electricity sale-purchase operations on the day-ahead market and on the intra-day market in order to cover its own consumption (technological losses). In the first quarter of 2015 revenues amounting to 30,687 Lei were recorded from such transactions.

Revenues from system services

In QI 2015 revenues from system (technological and functional) services decreased compared to Q I 2014 by 7,043,902 Lei mainly determined by the diminished tariffs applicable to such services beginning with 01 July 2014. Revenues from technological system services in Q I 2015 were lower than the expenses for technological system services, which lead to loss of 18,615,538 Lei from non-profit activities.

Revenues on the balancing market

In the first quarter of 2015 revenues achieved on the balancing market increased by 57,891,285 Lei compared to QI 2014, as determined by the behaviour of participants on this market (notifications/achievements). The balancing market is a segment of zero profit activity for the Company.

14. Expenses for system operation and the balancing market

Expenses made in QI 2015 compared to QI 2014 were as follows:

QI 2015 QI 2014
Expenses with technological losses 50,761,517 45,449,697
Congestion expenses 545,435 0
Electricity consumption in ETG substations 3,870,044 3,549,372
Expenses with functional system services 3,248,357 2,359,530
Inter TSO Compesation (ITC) expenses 6,720,000 3,375,000
Total operational expenses 65,145,353 54,733,599
Expenses with technological system services 195,302,022 162,015,822
Balancing market expenses 212,081,618 154,190,333
Total 472,528,993 370,939,754

Expenses with technological losses

Such expenses mean electricity procurement necessary to maintain installations energised and electricity transmission through the interconnected transmission network.

In Q I 2015 compared to QI 2014 the electricity needed in order to cover technological losses in the ETG increased about 6.48%, namely from 256,046 MWh in Q I 2014 to 272,620 MWh in QI 2015.

The factors that impacted such increase were:

  • Increased amount of electricity input in the ETG outline, which led to higher losses by Joule effect;

  • Bad meteorological conditions, much precipitation, which led to higher Corona losses;

  • Bad influences of the import/export flows (increased export in the northern area), which led to greater circulation in the southern region;

  • An unfavoruable generation mix, which led to greater long distance electricity transmission from generation sources;

Losses in the ETG slightly increased from 2.44% to 2.47% compared to the 2.5% recugnised by ANRE in the transmission tariff in the first year of the regulatory period.

Congestion expenses

Congestions (network restrictions) are demands for electricity transmission above the technical capacity of the grid, which require corrective actions of the transmission and system operator whenever the power flows between two system nodes or areas lead to incompliance with the safe operational parameters of the power system, be it upon operation scheduling or in real time operation.

In QI 2015 congestion expenses amounting to 545,435 Lei were recorded.

Expenses with functional system services

Expenses for functional system services are the uncontracted international exchanges of electricity with neighbouring countries and the unplanned exchanges on the day-ahead market (DAM).

In QI 2015 compared to QI 2014 expenses on the balancing market increased because of the unplanned electricity exchanges with the neighbouring countries interconnected to the SEN.

Expenses with Inter TSO Compesation (ITC)

ITC expenses are monthly payment obligations/collection rights for each transmission and system operator (TSO). They are determined under the compensation/ settling mechanism according to the use of the electricity transmission grid (ETG) for electricity transits between TSO-s from 35 countries that affiliated to this mechanims of the ENTSO-E and were 3,345,000 Lei higher than in QI 2014.

Expenses with technological system services

In the first quarter of 2015 expenses with the technological system services increased by 33,286,200 Lei compared to QI 2014. Technological system services (secondary control, slow and fast tertiary reserve) are procured by the Company from producers in order to maintain the operational safety of the SEN and the quality of electricity transmitted to the parameters set under applicable technical norms.

Such services are contracted as follows:

  • Under regulated regime, based on ANRE decisions;

  • Using competitive mechanisms;

In accordance with the provisions of GD 138/08.04.2013 on taking certain measures to provide safe electricity supply (updated), the Company is obliged to procure technological system services as per ANRE regulations as follows:

  • From SC Complex Energetic Hunedoara SA, at least 400 MW between 15 April 2013 and 1 July 2015 and at least 500 MW from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2017 (GD 941/2014);
  • From SC Complex Energetic Oltenia SA, at least 600 MW between 15 April 2013 and 1 July 2015.

In accordance with the provisions of GD 1178/2014 on taking certain measures to provide safe secure operation of the SEN from 1 January to 28 February 2015, they approved supplementing the technological system services necessary for the CNTEE Transelectrica SA in order to provide safe steady-state operation of the SEN. The Company is obliged to dispatch with priority the electricity generated in thermal power plants, according to the requlatory terms issued by the National Regulatory Authority in Energy (ANRE).

Thus from 1 January to 28 February 2015 such services will be procured in regulated mode from the generators nominated in the annex of GD 1178/2014.

In accordance with the provisions of article 4 from GD 1178/2014, ANRE will issue the necessary regulations in order to recognise such system services in addition to the regulated tariff of CNTEE Transelectrica SA.

The CNTEE Transelectrica SA is re-invoicing the value of technological system services procured from generators to the electricity suppliers licensed by ANRE that are the ultimate beneficiaries of such services.

Net financial result 1,158,998 (2,884,293)

Financial revenues in QI 2015 were impacted by the decreased interest collected from available cash in the bank accounts / deposits (the BNR reduced the monetary politicy interest), and also by the favourable differences of exchange rates due to the appreciatio of the national currency.

Financial expenses in QI 2015 were impacted by the fluctuations in the exchange rates of the national currency against the main currencies that Company's investment credits are commmitted to (Euro, Dollar, Japanese Yen).

The financial result of QI 2015 was favourable and is mirrored in the profit.

17. Contingencies

Disputes

Eolica Dobrogea SRL sued the Company in order to compel it to conclude a connection contract. On the 12 April 2013 hearing the court rejected the request of Eolica Dobrogea SRL on the illegality of the suspensive terms provided in article 5.1 (e) from the connection contract. On the 8 February 2013 hearing the court cancelled letter 37650/16 December 2011, admitting the suspensive terms of the connection contract as fulfilled, thus obliging the Company to execute the connection contract. Both the Company and Eolica Dobrogea SRL filed appeal against the 8 February 2013 ruling. The first hearing date of the appeal was set on 15 May 2014. Eolica Dobrogea SRL expressed no material claim.

On 05.02.2015 the High Court of Cassation and Justice, Section of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes issued Decision 464/05.02.2015, which acknowledged SC Rokura SRL gave up the court trial for the request of accessory intervention.

The Court admitted the appeals instituted by the National Power Grid Company Transelectrica S.A., by SC Eolica Dobrogea (Schweiz) AG and by Iberdrola Renovables Energia SA against the civil judgment 600 of 8 February 2013 issued by the Appeal Court Bucharest, Section VIII of the administrative and fiscal disputes.

It admitted the appeal expressed by SC Eolica Dobrogea SRL through the judicial administrator Aqua Insolvency IPURL against the civil sentence 1313 of 12 April 2013 of the Appeal Court Bucharest, Section VIII of the administrative and fiscal disputes. It cancelled the sentences and referred the case to the Bucharest Tribunal, Civil section for settlement, irrevocably.

The file was registered on the docket of Bucharest Tribunal under no. 10994/3/2015. In conclusion dated 05.08.2015, the Bucharest Tribunal - Department of Civil admitted the exception of no functional jurisdiction and advanced the cause to Section VI of the Civil Court of Bucharest, to be shared by a specialized panel in the settlement of disputes with professionals.

On 4 March 2014 the European Commission issued notification that it applied a fine of 1,031,000 EUR to subsidiary OPCOM

SA for abusing its dominant position on the Romanian market and facilitating electricity spot transactions thus breaching EU's antitrust norms. The Commission considered the parent company of OPCOM, Transelectrica, equally responsible for such infringement. The Commission imposed 1,031,000 EUR fine to the Company and its subsidiary OPCOM, as they are jointly and severally liable to pay the fine.

The Shareholders' General Assembly of Subsidiary OPCOM SA decided on 10.06.2014 to fully pay the penalty amounting to 1,031,000 Euro charged by the Directorate General Competition from the European Commission for breaching article 102 of the Treaty of the European Union, according to Decision AT 39984 of the antitrust case. Subsidiary SC OPCOM SA has paid in full the fine established by the European Commission.

On 24.11.2014 the Operator of the Electricity and Natural Gas Market OPCOM SA sued the CNTEE Transelectrica SA, in order to compel it pay 582,086.31 Euro (2,585,161.72 Lei at the BNR exchange rate of 24.11.2014), representing the amount paid as fine from the total 1,031,000 Euros.

Also OPCOM SA requested the court to compel the Company to pay 84,867.67 Lei as interest for the period 11.06.2014 – 24.11.2014.

The action of OPCOM SA is included in file 40814/3/2014, on the docket of Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI of Civil cases, pertaining to claims, subject matter- dispute with professionals, and the set hearing was 29.06.2015. The CNTEE Transelectrica SA has submitted the defence to this case, invoking exceptions and the illegality of the action.

The Company registered in 2014 a provision amounting to 2,670,029 Lei for the dispute with Subsidiary OPCOM.

In 2013 Conaid Company SRL sued CN Transelectrica for the unjustified refusal to sign an addendum to the connection contract, or a new connection contract and asked compensation for the expenses amounting to 17,419,508 Lei incurred until that day and the unrealised profits of 2013-2033 in sum of 722,756,000 EUR. To date the Company has not concluded an addendum to the connection contract because the suspensive conditions included in it were not complied with by Conaid Company SRL. A new connection contract should have been concluded by 11 March 2014, when the connection permit expired. At the date of these financial statements the amounts claimed by Conaid Company SRL were considered contingent liabilities since it is unlikely to outflow resources incorporating economic benefits to settle such obligation, and the amount of such obligation cannot be estimated reliably. File 5302/2/2013 is on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, Section of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes, and it pertains to compelling the issue of the administrative deed, case stage – appeal, currently without set hearing because the file is screened by the screening team dealing with this file.

The Company is involved in significant disputes as claimant, especially in order to recover liabilities (for instance Eco Energy, Petprod SRL, Total Electric Oltenia and Arcelormittal Galaţi). The Company recorded allowances of value losses for clients and other liabilities in litigation and for clients going bankrupt. Also the Company is claimant under litigation with ANAF as provided in Note 5.

The management of the Company considers it unlikely to have resource outflows necessary to settle the on-going disputes. In addition there are no other disputes underway that either by nature or by value could require contingent assets for the Company's activities.

19. Credit risk

Credit risk means the hazard of financial loss incurred by the Company if a client or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations under some financial instrument. Such risk arises mainly from the Company's receivables and from cash and cash equivalents.

The counterparty risk is treated using the internal and external success factors of the Company. The external success factors that systematically reduce this risk are- the deregulation of the energy sector where power generation, transmission, distribution and supply are distinct activities and the client interface is the supplier; electricity is transacted in Romania on two market segmentsthe regulated market and the competitive one. The internal success factors used in the treatment of the counterparty risk includediversified client portfolio and diversified number of services provided on the electricity market.

Financial assets, which potentially submit the Company to the collection risk, consist mainly of the trade receivables and of the cash and cash equivalents. The Company applied a set of policies whereby service sales are provided to customers with proper collection, by including their obligation to constitute financial guarantees in the trading contracts. The amount of receivables net of impairment allowances is the maximum sum exposed to the collection risk.

The collection risk associated to such receivables is limited since such sums are primarily owed by state-owned companies.

The maximum collection risk on the report date was:

20. Subsequent events

Legal proceedings against the Commercial Register registration of the share capital increase for Subsidiary SC Smart SA

The National Power Grid Company Transelectrica SA instituted legal proceedings in order to cancel Resolution 154954/30.12.2014 of the Designated Person, pronounced under File 449314/23.12.2014, based on which the Office of the Commercial Register from Bucharest Tribunal had recorded the share capital increase of Subsidiary SC Smart SA by in-kind contribution and amended accordingly the articles of association as per Decision 12375/22.12.2014 of the BA Chairman and Decision 19/22.12.2014 of the Board of Administration. The Company has also requested the competent court to cancel the two fore-mentioned decisions and suspend enforcing the deeds whose cancellation is requested until settling the court case.

The resolution whose cancellation is requested has never been published in the Official Gazette part IV until the date of this report and consequently the Company is within the legal term for complaint filing. The share capital was increased with a view to apply the provisions of the privatisation legislation, namely the obligation to increase the share capital by the value of lands from the inventories of Smart SA, which ownership certificates were obtained for, and to issue shares for the Romanian state, then the shareholder structure of subsidiary Smart SA, as registered in the Commercial Register based on Resolution 154954/30.12.2014 of the Designated Person is as follows:

  • CNTEE Transelectrica SA – 70.005% - 3,852,860 shares;

  • Romanian State through the General Secretariat of the Government – 29.994% - 1,650,770 shares.

Transelectrica SA requested presidential ordinance (to suspend the deeds increasing the share capital), included in file 13987/3/2015 on the docket of Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil cases, hearing date being 15.06.2015, and has also filed complaint against the ORC director's decision and against the documents issued by Smart SA to increase its share capital under file 14001/3/2015 on the docket of Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil cases, currently with no hearing date set.

Approving the 2015 Revenue and expense budget of CNTEE Transelectrica SA
