2. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS EU") and were approved by the Management Board of Enea S.A.

The Management Board of the Parent Company has used its best knowledge as to the application of standards and interpretations as well as measurement methods and principles applicable to the individual items of the consolidated financial statements of the Enea Capital Group in accordance with the IFRS-EU as at 31 December 2017. The

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

disclosures and clarifications presented herein have been prepared with utmost diligence. These consolidated financial statements were audited by a certified auditor.

3. Material estimates and assumptions

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the EU IFRS requires the Management Board to adopt certain assumptions and make estimates that affect the adopted accounting principles and the amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and in the notes to these financial statements. The assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Management Board regarding current and future events and activities. Actual results, however, may differ from those anticipated. The main areas in which the Management Board's estimates have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements are:

  • employee benefits during and after employment - the valuation of provisions for employee benefits was made by determining the balance of liabilities at the end of the reporting period on account of anticipated future benefits payments, calculated in an actuarial manner; the discount rates and the rate of long-term increase in remuneration have an impact on the estimate made (Note 31),
  • depreciation periods for property, plant and equipment and intangible and legal assets depreciation is based on the expected period of economic use of tangible fixed assets and intangible and legal assets. The periods of economic use are verified at least once during the financial yea The depreciation periods used are presented in Notes 50.5, 50.6, 50.7 and 50.12 of these consolidated financial statements,
  • trade receivables revaluation write-offs and other write-offs - the amount of the write-off is the difference between the book value and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate; changes in the value of estimated future cash flows will result in changes in the receivables revaluation write-offs estimate (Note 16),
  • non-invoiced sales revenues at the end of the financial period - estimation of the amount of unsettled energy sales takes place on the basis of estimated energy consumption in the period from the day of the last billing reading to the end of the financial period (Note 16),
  • compensation for non-contractual use of land - the estimation includes the potential payment of compensation for the so-called non-contractual use of land and rent (Notes 32, 47.5),
  • provision for landfill reclamation - after filling up or closing the slag and ash dump, the Group is obliged to reclaim the area. Due to the fact that the Group has large, unfilled landfill areas, the expected date of reclamation falls in 2060 at Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. and in 2043 at Enea Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. The future estimated costs of landfill reclamation were discounted to the present value as at 31 December 2017 using the discount rate of 3.26% (Note 32),
  • recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and intangible and legal assets - impairment tests of cash-generating units are based on a number of assumptions, some of which are outside the Group's control. Significant changes to these assumptions affect the results of the impairment tests and, consequently, the financial position and financial results of the Group (Note 6),
  • provision for the purchase of CO2 allowances estimates include assumptions regarding allocation of free CO2 allowances due to the Group for 2017 (Note 32),

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

  • estimation of the mine's lifetime and coal resources - the mine's lifetime (LWB) is estimated based on available coal reserves covered by the concession and estimated production capacity, for 2051. The actual date of mine decommissioning may, however, differ from the one estimated by the Group. This results from taking into account in the calculation of the estimated life-span of the mine only the operational resources of coal available as at the reporting date. A fall in the demand for the Group's coal may result in lowering production below the production capacity, which will affect the mine's life-span. On 17 November 2017, the Group received a mining concession for the "Ostrów" area with operating reserves estimated at around 186 million tonnes of coal. Obtaining this concession is a basic element of the plan for doubling the operational resources and it means extending the life of the mine eventually to approximately 50 years (entailing significant expenditures on the construction of new infrastructure, including the construction of a new shaft). The Group also makes efforts to expand the mining area by adding the "Orzechów" deposits over the next several years (currently the Group has a concession for exploration of the "Orzechów" deposit). At the same time, the Group does not stop efforts to obtain a mining concession for the K-6, K-7 deposit,
  • estimation of the provision for mine decommissioning costs - the Group creates a provision for the costs of decommissioning a mining plant, which it is obliged to do by existing law. The main assumptions used in determining the costs related to the decommissioning of a mining plant include assumptions regarding the life of the mine, expected inflation and long-term discount rates. Any changes to these assumptions affect the book value of the provision (Note 32),
  • a provision for the difference in the valuation of shares in Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. - the Group estimated the value of shares in Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. and created a provision for the difference between the price including the base amount, which is PLN 286,500,000 and the value estimated in the Enea S.A. model (Note 49),
  • Provision for claims due to terminated property rights purchase contracts – recognition thereof requires making the most appropriate estimate covering the prospective payment of liquidated damages due to the termination of contracts for purchase of property rights (Note 47.7).

6. Impairment tests (property, plant and equipment)

In the fourth quarter of 2017, due to significant impairment allowances made in the previous years and the uncertainty as to the development of the energy market in Poland, including in particular the capacity market and the support system for renewable energy sources, the Group carried out tests for impairment of tangible fixed assets to the extent of areas engaged, among others, in electricity generation. On the basis of the conducted tests, the recoverable values were established, which did not show the need to change the value of the property, plant and equipment as at the reporting date.

Results of the impairment tests are presented below:

CGU ['000 PLN] Recoverable value
CGU Kozienice Major Power Plants – generation assets of Enea 6 975 873
Wytwarzanie at Świerże Górne site
CGU Białystok – generation assets of Enea Wytwarzanie at the 642 425
Białystok location together with the assets of the subsidiaries Enea
Ciepło and Enea Ciepło Serwis at the same location, treated as one
CGU due to close business relationship
CGU Wind – generation assets based on wind farms of Enea 289 239
Wytwarzanie
CGU Water – generation assets based on hydropower plants of Enea 173 276
Wytwarzanie
CGU Biogas – generation assets based on biogas plants of Enea 1 017
Wytwarzanie
CGU Połaniec Major Power Plants – generation assets of Enea 862 524
Elektrownia Polaniec (coal-fired generation sources)
CGU Green Power Unit - generation assets of Enea Elektrownia 171 415
Polaniec (biomass-fired power unit)

The recoverable value of individual CGUs was estimated on the basis of the use value using the discounted cash flow method based on the prepared financial projects. The following projection periods have been assumed for the individual tested cash generating units:

  • CGU Kozienice Major Power Plants until 2040,
  • CGU Białystok until 2040,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

  • CGU Wind:
  • Darżyno Wind Farm until 2037,
  • Bardy Wind Farm until 2036,
  • Baczyna Wind Farm until 2040,
  • CGU Water until 2040,
  • CGU Biogas until 2023,
  • CGU Połaniec Major Power Plants until 2034,
  • CGU Green Power Unit until 2042.

Presented below are the main assumptions used for the purpose of impairment tests:

  • assets were subjected to tests in seven cash generating units (i.e. CGU Kozienice Major Power Plants, CGU Białystok, CGU Wind, CGU Water, CGU Biogas, CGU Połaniec Major Power Plants, CGU Green Power Unit),
  • the main price paths based, among others, on the forecasts prepared by Enea Trading (a company constituting a competence centre in the Enea Capital Group with regard to wholesale trade in electricity, property rights, emission allowances and fuels) taking into account product specificity and knowledge of the already concluded contracts:
  • wholesale prices of electrical energy: an increase over the period covered by the projection,
  • prices of certificates of origin of energy from renewable energy sources and from co-generation: the existence of support systems: for renewable energy sources also after 2025, for highly efficient co-generation until 2018,
  • prices of CO2 emission allowances: an increase over the entire period covered by the projection,
  • coal prices: an increase over the entire period covered by the projection,
  • biomass price: an increase until 2029, and a decrease since 2030.
  • the number of CO2 emission allowances received free of charge for the years 2015-2020 was based on the derogation application (under Article 10c(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council),
  • taking into account revenues related to the maintenance of production capacities from 2021 pursuant to the Capacity Market Law passed in December 2017, based on the analyses and estimates made by Enea Trading
  • inflation, taking into account the inflation target at the maximum level of 2.5%.
  • the nominal discount rate of 6.44% ,
  • the rate of increase during the residual period 0%.

The sensitivity analysis carried out indicates that important factors influencing the estimates of the recoverable value of cash flow generating units include, among others: discount rates, inflation, electricity prices and revenues from the Capacity Market. In addition, prices of certificates of origin of energy, CO2 emission rights and coal prices will also have an impact on future financial performance and, consequently, on the use value of cash flow generating units.

In 2013, Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. launched a Management Options Programme for a period 2013-2017. The options may be exercised on condition of fulfilment of certain criteria.

As at 31 December 2017, the number of options granted under the Programme was 1,143,863 and the total value of the Management Stock Options Programme amounted to PLN 3,839 thousand (on 31 December 2016: PLN 3,839 thousand). Within that figure, the number of rights (awarded for the years 2013-2014) to exercise the aforementioned options is 335,199. In 2016, it was determined - on the basis of analyses that had been carried out – that it is not possible to achieve the non-market targets required under the Programme and therefore, options worth PLN 5,913 thousand were declared forfeit. Consequently, the total cost of the Programme recognized as at 31 December 2017 under "Retained earnings" amounted to PLN 3,839 thousand (As at 31 December 2016: PLN 3,839 thousand).

In 2017, no amounts on that account were recognised as payroll expenses (in 2016 an amount of PLN 5,913 thousand was recognised as a reduction in cost).

27. Financial Instruments

27.1. Principles of financial risk management

The activity of the Capital Group is subject to the following categories of risk associated with financial instruments:

  • credit risk,
  • financial liquidity risk,
  • commodity risk,
  • currency risk,
  • interest rate risk.

This note contains information about the Group's exposure to each type of risk indicated above and describes the objectives and policies related to risk and capital management.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Responsibility for determining the framework and principles of risk management lies with the Management Board of the Parent Company.

Financial risk management in the Group is based on a formalized, integrated risk management system described within the framework of dedicated risk management policies, procedures and methodologies.

Risk management is designed as a continuous process. The Group subjects risk to continuous analysis from the point of view of the impact of the external environment and changes in its structures and activities. On this basis, it takes actions aimed at limiting risk or its transfer outside the Capital Group.

27.2. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial losses incurred by the Group as a result of the customer or business partner being a party to a financial instrument not meeting its contractual obligations.

Credit risk is mainly related to the collection of receivables. The main factors affecting the occurrence of credit risk in the case of the Group include:

  • a large number of small customers influencing the increase of costs of controlling the inflow of receivables;
  • the need to supply electricity to budgetary units in a difficult financial situation;
  • legal requirements governing the suspension of electricity supply due to non-payment.

The Management Board follows a credit risk management policy in accordance with which credit risk exposure and measures taken to minimize credit risk are monitored on an ongoing basis. The main credit risk management tool is the analysis of the creditworthiness of Enea's key counterparties, under which the terms of the contract with the counterparty are subject to appropriate structuring (payment terms, possible contract security, etc.).

The table below presents the structure of balance sheet items showing the Group's exposure to credit risk:

In the Capital Group, the credit risk in relation to receivables differs for individual market segments in which the Group operates:

  • sales of electricity and distribution services to individual customers there is a considerable amount of overdue receivables in this segment. Although they do not represent a significant threat to the Group's finances, steps have been taken to reduce them. Actions aimed at improving the debt collection process are being successively carried out, consisting, among others, in the development of new and updated instructions and rules regarding debt collection, as well as establishing cooperation with specialized entities. Debt collection begins 20-25 days after the payment date. The introduction of uniform debt recovery rules, including soft debt collection, allows for shorter cash recovery times and makes it possible to avoid long-lasting and often ineffective hard debt collection, i.e. judicial and bailiff enforcement. Cases worth more than debt recovery cost-effectiveness limit are transferred to court for enforcement proceedings;
  • sales of electricity and distribution services to business, key and strategic customers amounts of overdue receivables in this segment are lower than in the case of individual customers. Due to the above and due to the considerably smaller number of customers in these segments, the principles of debt collection are mainly based on soft debt recovery. Actions in the area of soft debt recovery are taken no later than after 6 business days after the payment date and in principle do not last longer than 30 business days after the payment deadline,
  • other receivables in comparison with the two previous segments, the amount of overdue receivables is negligible.

Employees of the Debt Collection Department play a key role in the recovery process. These are the people monitoring the debt recovery process, who by contacting the customer try to recover overdue debts. Enea also cooperates in the field of debt collection with specialised third-party entities supporting the Group in the so-called

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

hard debt recovery. The Group monitors the amount of overdue receivables on an ongoing basis, makes revaluation write-offs and, in justified cases, files legal claims.

27.3. Liquidity risk

The risk of losing financial liquidity is perceived as the risk of the inability to meet payment obligations by the companies from the Enea Capital Group as of their maturity dates.

The aim of the Group's activities in the area of liquidity management and liquidity risk management is to limit the probability of losing the ability to settle liabilities. As a result of implementation of activities within the scope of the adopted liquidity management and liquidity risk management policy the ability to effectively respond to the so-called liquidity crises, i.e. periods of significant demand for cash, is ensured.

As part of the adopted business policy, it is assumed to ensure the availability of cash at a level allowing the settlement of liabilities in the course of day-to-day operations. The implemented activities enable, at the same time, uninterrupted continuation of operations in situations of liquidity crisis for a period indispensable to launch an emergency financing plan, aimed at ensuring replenishment of the shortages.

In liquidity management, the Group focuses on a detailed analysis of cash flows, receivables and liabilities turnover, bank account balance monitoring. In order to ensure an adequate level of safety in unpredictable situations, the Group also conducts scenario analyses and develops solutions ensuring that liquidity risk is maintained at an acceptable level. The Group deposits financial surpluses in current assets in the form of term deposits. In order to ensure stable sources of financing, the Group diversifies the sources of external financing. With a view to limiting the concentration risk, surplus cash investment is diversified. Investment efficiency is constantly monitored.

Enea S.A. concentrates the activities regarding liquidity management and liquidity risk management between the Group's companies. In order to ensure financing of current operations and optimization of the liquidity management process, the companies included in the Enea Tax Capital Group use the cash pooling mechanism. The Group is also intensifying the implementation of intra-group bond issue programs. Thanks to these activities the effectiveness of using funds within the Capital Group is increasing.

Constant risk management in the aforementioned areas and the Group's market and financial position allow the statement that the risk of losing financial liquidity remains at the minimum level.

The Group manages liquidity risk also by maintaining open and unused credit lines, which as at 31 December 2017 amounted to PLN 550,000 and as at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, PLN 700,000 thousand.

27.4. Commodity risk

Commodity risk is related to the possible occurrence of changes in the revenues/cash flows generated by the Group, in particular, due to the existing volatility of commodity prices, as well as fluctuations in the demand for products/services offered by Enea. The objective of commodity risk management is to maintain exposure to this risk at an acceptable level while optimizing the return on risk.

A specific aspect of the Group's commodity risk is the fact that acting as an energy company playing the role of a last resort supplier, the Group is required to submit for approval electricity tariffs for G-tariff groups. The Group buys energy at market prices and calculates its tariff based on costs recognized by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office as justified and taking into account the (trading) margin planned for the next tariff period. In connection with the above, during the tariff period, the Group has limited possibilities of transferring the costs of its operations to end users of electricity that are unfavourable for the Group. The Group may submit a proposal for tariff adjustment to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office only in the event of a dramatic increase in costs due to reasons beyond the Group's control.

Commodity risk management to the extent of pricing is based on continuous monitoring of the size of the open trading position (both in the area of securing the volume of retail sales and in the proprietary trading area) and measurement - using value at risk tools - of the risk level resulting from possible fluctuations in electricity prices in relation to such open position. An appropriate risk mitigation technique in this case is to close an item that generates excessive (greater thanaccepted) value of potential loss. In this case, the management model is based on a system of value limits (VaR limits) defining the maximum permissible value of the open position, which is the carrier of the commodity (price) risk understood in this way.

Volumetric commodity risk management is based on the use of scenario methods and optimization of planning and control processes of commercial activities that allow one to estimate the expected volume of electricity and related goods traded in the most accurate way possible.

In addition, regardless of the above, Enea applies the management principles specified in the Group's strategic regulations (the Wholesale Trade Procedure), which determine the methods of operation with regard to the optimization of Enea's trading position, whose main objective is to minimize the risk of taking actions inconsistent with market trends, while taking into account the measured effectiveness aspect of the actions taken (obtaining results better than the market average).

The currency risk is related to the possible occurrence of changes in the cash flows generated by the Group as a result of the fluctuations in the exchange rates, in which these amounts are denominated. The Enea Group is exposed in particular to currency risk resulting from the need to purchase allowances for CO2 emissions, certain capital expenditures, and contracts for the provision of services by contractors whose prices/costs are denominated in EUR.

Currency risk is hedged mainly using currency forward contracts. The purpose of the measures taken to hedge against exchange rate risk is to guarantee a certain level of the PLN value of future revenues and, in particular, expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of CO2 emission allowances or investment works.

Hedging is done on the basis of the Currency risk and exchange rates risk management policy in force in the Enea Group.

Lubelski Węgiel S.A. (LWB) concludes specific transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, there is a risk of currency fluctuations. LWB is primarily exposed to the risk of changes in the EUR/PLN and USD/PLN exchange rates. During 2017, there were no significant foreign exchange transactions, there were very limited sales of coal denominated in foreign currency (USD). Very significant currency transactions took place in the past before 2015 - in connection with the purchase of special-purpose equipment and machines, however, due to the end of the intensified investment process, no such transactions are planned in the nearest future. This risk is managed under the approved operating principles using currency forward contracts. LWB applies hedge accounting for future cash flows. The purpose of LWB's measures aimed at hedging against the risk of changes in the EUR/PLN and USD/PLN exchange rates is to guarantee a certain level of PLN value of future expenses in EUR that will be incurred in connection with investment works and to guarantee a certain level of future revenues in USD/EUR that will be received in connection with the sales made by the company.

27.6. Interest rate risk

The risk of interest rates fluctuations, to which the Group is exposed, results from concluded loan agreements and agreements on bond issue programs. Arranged financing takes place on the basis of variable interest rates, calculated in correlation with market (interbank) rates.

Due to the financing arrangement model in force in the Group, the interest rate risk is identified and managed (quantified, mitigated) by the Parent Company.

Hedging in the area of interest rates risk is done on the basis of the Currency exchange risk and interest rate risk management policy in force in the Enea Group.

As at the balance sheet date, 31 December 2017, the Group had liabilities on account of bank loans and borrowings and debt securities in the amount of PLN 8,259,520 thousand. The value of debt referred to above was hedged in 66% with interest rate hedging transactions (IRS instruments).

27.7. Management of funding sources

The basic assumption of the Group with regard to funding sources management is to obtain an optimal structure of liabilities in order to reduce the cost of financing operations, ensure a credit rating at the investment level and sources of financing for the Group's operating and investment activities. The activities taken in this respect also aim at ensuring the Group's financial security and a satisfying value for its shareholders. While optimizing the structure of liabilities through the use of financial leverage, it is important to maintain the capital base at a level allowing for the building of trust of investors, lenders and the market. The Group monitors the efficiency and stability of equity using the debt ratio and return on equity ratios. The Group's objective is to increase the efficiency of capital while maintaining it at a safe level.

Financial assets available for sale are shares and stocks in unrelated entities in which the participation in the equity is less than 20%. The item presents shares in PGE EJ1 Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 26,902 thousand PLN for which there is no market price listed on the active market and whose fair value - due to the initial phase of the company's operation - is determined on the basis of the incurred cost.

Derivative instruments include the valuation of interest rate hedging transactions (Interest Rate Swaps). The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by calculating the net present value based on two yield curves, i.e. a curve to determine the discount factors, and a curve used to estimate future rates of variable reference rates.

Long-term financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are options to buy shares in Polimex-Mostostal S.A.

The table below presents the analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value, grouped according to a three-tier hierarchy, where:

Tier 1 - fair value is based on stock prices (unadjusted) offered for identical assets or liabilities in active markets,

Tier 2 - fair value is determined on the basis of values observed in the market, however not being direct market quotations (e.g. determined by reference, directly or indirectly, to similar instruments existing in the market),

Tier 3 - fair value is determined based on various valuation techniques not based, however, on any observable market information.

Pursuant to an agreement between employee representatives and Group representatives, employees of the Capital Group are entitled to specific benefits other than remuneration for work, i.e.:

  • jubilee bonuses,
  • retirement and disability benefits,
  • discount on electricity,
  • contribution to the Company Social Benefit Fund,

The aforesaid benefits are financed in whole by the Group.

The current value of future liabilities due to the above benefits has been determined based on actuarial valuation. The basic data for individual employees employed in the Capital Group as at 31 December 2017 (taking into account the gender of the employee) were used for calculations, from the following areas:

  • age of the employee,
  • length of employment in the Group,
  • total length of employment,

remuneration constituting the basis for calculating the jubilee bonus and retirement and disability package. In addition, the following assumptions were applied in the analysis:

  • the probability of employees leaving was calculated on the basis of historical data on the employee turnover in the Company and statistical data on employees leaving in the industry,
  • the value of the minimum remuneration in force in the national economy since 1 January 2018 in the amount of PLN 2,100.00 was used,
  • on the basis of the announcements of the President of the Central Statistical Office, the average monthly salary in the national economy less contributions to pension, disability and sickness insurance deducted from insured persons in the amount of PLN 3,161.77 was used (the average for the second half of 2012, which will be the basis for calculating the Company Social Benefits Fund write-off in 2018),
  • based on assumptions defined at the corporate level, the increase of the base for creating the CSBF writeoff was determined on the basis of the increase of the monthly average pay in the national economy: 27.56% in 2019, 6.0% in 2020, 5.2% in 2021, 5.6% in the years 2023-2029, and 5.2% in the remaining years of the forecast. In the event of a change of the base in 2019, an increase of the average monthly pay in the national economy of 4.9% in 2017 and of 6.1% in 2018 was used. The remaining increase of the base in 2019 results from the full valorisation of the base for calculating the Company Social Benefits Fund as of 2019 assumed as at the date of drawing up the risk valuation,
  • mortality rate and probability of survival were adopted in accordance with the Life Expectancy Tables 2016 published by the Central Statistical Office; it was assumed that the population of employees in the Company reflects the average for Poland in terms of mortality,
  • no separate disability pension severance pay provision has been calculated; in return, those who started collecting a disability pension were not taken into account when calculating the probability of employees leaving,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

  • the standard retirement procedure was assumed in accordance with detailed rules set forth in the Pensions Act, except for those employed, who according to information provided by the Company meet the conditions required to exercise the right to early retirement,
  • long-term annual rate of pay increase of 2.0% in 2018, 2.2% in 2019 and 2.5% in the following years (as at 31 December 2016 1.5% in 2017, 2.5% in the following years),
  • discount rate for discounting future benefits pay-outs of 3.26% (as at 31 December 2016: 3.2%),
  • the assumed electricity allowance paid out in 2018: PLN 1,407.37 (as at 31 December 2016: PLN 1,391.74),
  • an increase of the cash equivalent paid out as part of the discounted electricity price was set in 2018 at 0.2%, in 2019 at 1.8%, in 2020 at 0.6%, in the years 2021 to 2025 at 4.7%, in 2026 at 4.8%, in subsequent years at 2.5% (as at 31 December 2016 at -1.0% for 2017, in 2018 an increase by 1.9%, in 2019 by 2.1%, in 2020 by 3.0%, in the years 2021 to 2026 at 3.1%, and in the following years at 2.5%).

On 17 October 2017, the Management Board of LWB signed an agreement with trade union organizations operating in LWB amending the provisions of the Company Collective Labour Agreement with regard to coal allowances paid to LWB pensioners. As a result of the signed agreement, the existing old-age and disability pensioners, for whom LWB was the last employer, lost their right to free coal. As a result of the agreement concluded, the current LWB employees also lost the right to free coal after retiring, in exchange for receiving the right to a one-off, additional retirement severance pay.

In connection with the foregoing, appropriate changes had to be made in the books of LWB. In connection with the loss of the entitlement to reduced coal prices after retirement, LWB re-measured the provision for coal allowances as at 17 October 2017 (the date of loss of the entitlements). The updated amount of the provision was PLN 145,564 thousand and subsequnelty the provision was released in full. At the same time, in line with the concluded agreement, LBW recognised in the books a provision for an additional old age/ disability retirement package totalling at PLN 7,044 thousand. Moreover, in December 2017, in consideration of the resignation from the entitled to free coal after retirement, current employees of LWB received a compensation totalling PLN 23,589 thousand. The total impact on the Group's performance of all transactions relating to the coal allowance and the respective agreement that has been signed amounted to approximately PLN 114,931 thousand.

The Projected Unit Credit Method was used to determine the provisions for employee benefits. The same method was applied in the sensitivity analysis of the defined specific benefit schemes.

Provisions for liabilities are measured at reasonable, reliably estimated value. Individual provisions are established for projected losses relating to the court action brought against the Group. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. The cost of provisions is recognized under other operating expenses. A description of material claims and contingent liabilities relating thereto have been presented in Notes 47.2, 47.5 and 47.6.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Provisions for liabilities and other charges primarily include:

Provision for non-contractual use of land

Provision for claims that may be filed by real property holders due to non-contractual use of the land.

Provisions for claims concerning non-contractual use of land are estimated using to so-called staged approach and weighting, i.e. the probability of losing the dispute and obligation to meet the claim. The damages awarded due to non-contractual use of land may be of significance for the Group in view of the number of the respective real properties. However, the Group is unable to reliably estimate the maximum amount of such damages.

In connection with the definition of the so-called transmission corridors, the Enea Capital Group estimated compensation for non-contractual use of real property on which the Group's grid assets (power lines) are located and recognized it in the created provision. As at the reporting date, no such claims had been filed.

Provision for other claims that have been filed

Under this item the Group shows provisinos for court actions not connected with non-contractual use of land. In 2017, Enea S.A. created a provision of PLN 85, 684 thousand for prospective claims relating to the termination by Enea S.A. of contracts for the purchase of certificates of origin from renewable energy sources (detailed information is provided in Note 47.7).

Provision for landfill reclamation

After filling up or closing the slag and ash dump, the Group is obliged to reclaim the area. Due to the fact that the Group has large, unfilled landfill areas, the expected date of reclamation falls in 2060. The future estimated costs of landfill reclamation were discounted to the present value using a discount rate of 3.26% (As at 31 December 2016 – 3,20%).

As at 31 December 2017, the provision amounted to PLN 59,712 thousand (As at 31 December 2016 it was PLN 49,893 thousand).

Provision for the purchase of CO2 emission allowances

As at 31 December 2017, the provision for CO2 allowances amounted to PLN 487,359 thousand (As at 31 December 2016 it was PLN 285,184 thousand).

Provision for mine decommissioning

The Group creates a provision for the cost of decommissioning of a mine as required pursuant to the applicable legal provisions. The key assumptions applied to determine the cost of mine decommissioning include the useful life of the mine, the projected rate of inflation and long-term discount rates. The calculated cost of mine decommissioning as at 31 December 2017 amounts to PLN 105,441 thousand (as at 31 December 2016: PLN 110,188 thousand).

Other provisions

Other provisions concern:

The Group also concludes business transactions with state government and local government units owned by the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland.

Those transactions primarily concern:

  • purchase of coal, electricity, property rights under certificates of energy origin regarding renewable energy and energy cogenerated with heat, transmission and distribution services by the Group from companies controlled by the State Treasury,
  • sale of electricity, distribution services, connection to the grid and other related charges and sale of coal, provided by the Group both to state and local administration units (sale to end consumers) and to companies controlled by the State Treasury (wholesale and retail sales to end consumers).

47.2. Proceedings pending before common courts of law

Proceedings brought by the Group

Proceedings instituted before common courts by Enea S.A. and Enea Operator Sp. z o.o. concern the recovery of receivables due to electricity supply (energy cases) and recovery of receivables on other accounts, e.g. illegal electricity consumption, connections to the grid and other specialist services (non-energy cases).

Proceedings instituted before common courts of law by Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. mostly concern compensations and liquidated damages from the company's counterparties.

As at 31 December 2017, the Group was pursuing a total of 16,176 actions with the value of the claims amounting to PLN 219,335 thousand in total (as at 31 December 2016, there were 16,487 cases totalling PLN 161,308 thousand).

The outcome of neither individual case is material for the financial result of the Capital Group.

Proceedings against the Group

Proceedings against the Group are brought both by natural and legal persons. They concern, among others, issues such as compensation for interruptions in energy supply, determination of illegal consumption of energy and compensation for the Company's use of real estate on which power devices are located. The Group considers claims for non-contractual use of land not owned by the Group to be particularly important (Note 47.5).

Claims are also pursued regarding the terminated contracts for the purchase of property rights (Note 47.7).

Court proceedings against Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. concern, among others, compensations and payment of liquidated damages.

As at 31 December 2017, there were 2,431 cases against the Group pending before common courts of law with claims totalling PLN 680,828 thousand (as at 31 December 2016, there were 2,314 cases for PLN 368,702 thousand in total). Provisions connected with these court cases are presented in Note 32.

47.3. Arbitration proceedings

Proceedings brought by Mostostal Warszawa S.A. and Acciona Infraestructuras S.A. against Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. are conducted before the Arbitration Court at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw under file reference symbol SA 64/15. The arbitration proceedings were instituted on the basis of a call for arbitration made by the Consortium on 7 April 2015. The consortium's claim amounts to approximately PLN 16.2 million (the above claim consists of a bank guarantee allegedly obtained without grounds by LWB, interest, and costs incurred by the consortium due to the use by LWB of this guarantee). On 30 November 2016, the consortium submitted a replica

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

to which a rejoinder was submitted by LWB on 25 January 2017 - the consortium responded with its letter of 25 February 2017, to which LWB also responded. Hearings before the Arbitration Court were held on 19-21 June 2017.

On 29 September 2017, the Arbitration Court at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw issued a judgment dismissing in full the action brought against LWB by the Consortium. The verdict ended the proceedings before the Arbitration Court. In October 2017, LWB filed a motion with the Lublin Court of Appeal for recognition of the arbitration award. At the same time, at the end of November 2017, the Consortium filed a complaint to set aside the Arbitration Court's award. At this moment in time, the award is not legally binding.

On 20 September 2016, LWB brought an action against the Consortium before the Regional Court in Lublin to establish a (negative) lack of obligation on the part of LWB to satisfy the consortium's claims under the contract for the extension of the Mechanical Coal Processing Plant. This claim serves to determine that the Consortium was improperly performing the contract for the extension of the Mechanical Coal Processing Plant, and thus LWB reasonably charged the Consortium with liquidated damages and withdrew from the contract. After the Consortium submitted a statement of defence and after the first hearing, the parties unanimously requested the court to refer the parties to mediation and agreed on the person of the mediator.

47.4. Other court proceedings

As far as LWB is concerned, proceedings are pending before the Regional Court in Lublin concerning claims of the ZUS (the Polish Social Insurance Institution) for the accident insurance contribution, namely the legitimacy of reclassifying accidents at work and the repeal of the sanction imposed on the company as a result of an audit carried out by the Lublin Branch of the ZUS. In order to cover any claims in this respect, LWB has established a provision of PLN 21,340 thousand.

On 21 November 2017, an appeal hearing was held, at which the Court of Appeal in Lublin considered the appeal filed by the ZUS against the judgement of 7 February 2017. The Court of Appeal issued a judgment in which it dismissed the appeal filed by the ZUS. At the moment, the judgement is not legally binding. On 15 January 2018, the Court of Appeals prepared the grounds for the judgment. On 12 March 2018, the Court of Appeal in Lublin received a cassation appeal of ZUS.

On 18 January 2018, Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. received a statement of claim of 28 December 2017 filed with the Regional Court in Białystok by the Municipality of Białystok against ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. regarding payment of PLN 29,445 thousand toghether with statutory interest on account of the sale price of 126,083 shares in Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej sp. z o.o. in Białystok (currently, Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o.), constituting the socalled "Remainder" in the performance of the obligation under the share purchase agreement regarding sales of Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o. entered into on 26 May 2014. On 23 February 2018, Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. submitted a reply to the statement of claim, objecting the standpoint expressed in the statement of claim and requesting its dismissal.

The dispute concerns the interpretation of the provisions of the share sale agreement of 2014 and determining whether Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. is still obligated to acquire the remaining shares, the so-called "Remainder". According to the opinion of Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., the Company fulfilled its obligation as per the share sale

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

agreement of 2014 concerning the acquisition of shares in Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and is no longer obligated to acquire additional 121 863 shares.

Should the outcome of the dispute be unfavourable for Enea Wytwarzanie Sp.z zo.o., the company may be obligated to acquire the total of 126 083 shares for the price as per the agreement of 26 May 2014. i.e. for the total amount as per the statement of claim.

According to the information recevied from the company's representative in that case, there is a good chance that the judgment will be positive for the company.

47.5. Risk connected with the legal status of properties used by the Group

The risk connected with the legal status of the properties used by the Group is due to the fact that the Group does not have a legal title to use all the plots where the transmission lines and auxiliary installations are located. In the future, the Group may be obligated to bear the costs of non-contractual use of land.

The absence of a clear legal status of the real estate causes a threat connected with claims to pay compensation for non-contractual use of land, rent or, exceptionally, in individual cases with demands to change the location of the facility (restore the land to the original condition).

The court judgements issued in these cases are important because they significantly affect the way the Group deals with persons who have already submitted pre-court claims in relation to devices located on their real estate and the manner of determining the legal status of these properties in the event of new investment projects.

The possibility of losing property in this case is negligible. Lack of a clear legal status of real estate under energy devices does not constitute a risk of losing the assets by the Group, but only causes the risk of additional costs connected with requests for compensation for the so-called non-contractual use of land, rent, the costs of establishing transmission easement or, exceptionally, in individual cases, with demands related to the change of the location of the facility (restoration of the ground to the original condition). The Group creates adequate provisions.

The provision also applies to compensation for non-contractual use by the Group of real property on which the Group's grid assets (power lines) are located, in connection with the definition of the so-called transmission corridors and establishing transmission easement for the benefit of the Group.

As at 31 December 2017, the Group recognized a provision for claims arising from non-contractual use of land in the amount of PLN 200,830 thousand.

47.6. Cases concerning not balanced energy trading in 2012

On 30 and 31 December 2014, Enea S.A. applied for a summons to a conciliation hearing with regard to:

Amount in PLN '000
PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. 7 410
PKP Energetyka S.A. 1 272
TAURON Polska Energia S.A. 17 086
TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o. 1 826
FITEN S.A. 207
Total 27 801

The object of the summonses were claims for payment for electrical energy incorrectly settled in the electricity balancing market in 2012. The summoned companies obtained undue financial benefits by refusing to allow Enea S.A. to issue invoices for the year 2012.

Following its unsuccessful attempt at resolving the aforesaid cases amicably, Enea S.A. brought actions against:

  • FITEN S.A. statement of claim of 24 November 2015,
  • TAURON Polska Energia S.A. statement of claim of 10 December 2015,
  • TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o. o. statement of claim of 10 December 2015,
  • PKP Energetyka S.A. statement of claim of 28 December 2015,
  • PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. statement of claim of 29 December 2015.

In the case against FITEN S.A. Enea S.A. has filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court. In the remaining cases no judgement has been issued.

47.7. Dispute concerning prices of renewable energy certificates and terminated contracts for the purchase of property rights resulting from certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources

In connection with a dispute concerning prices used in long-term contracts for the purchase of property rights from renewable energy sources, there are six proceedings pending in court concerning remuneration. Enea S.A. set off the payment of a portion of the receivables owed to counterparties of Enea S.A. due to the payment of the price for the property rights sold against the claim for damages filed by Enea S.A. against renewable energy producers. The damage suffered by Enea S.A. was created as a result of counterparties' failure to perform their contractual obligations to renegotiate in good faith the long-term contracts for sale of property rights in accordance with the adaptation clause binding upon the parties.

Moreover, three cases are currently pending before the Regional Court in Poznań for declaration of ineffectiveness of termination/withdrawal of Enea S.A. from contract of sale of property rights made on 28 October 2016.

On 28 October 2016, Enea S.A. made representations, depending on the contract, on termination or withdrawal from long-term contract for the purchase by the Company of property rights resulting from renewable energy certificates (so-called green certificates) (Contracts).

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

The Contracts were concluded in the years 2006-2014 with the following counterparties, owners of facilities producing energy from renewable sources ("Counterparties "):

  • Farma Wiatrowa Krzęcin Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Warsaw;
  • Megawind Polska Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Szczecin;
  • PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A. with its registered office in Bełchatów;
  • PGE Energia Odnawialna S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw;
  • PGE Energia Natury PEW Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Warsaw;
  • "PSW" Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Warsaw;
  • in.ventus Sp. z o.o. EW Śniatowo sp.k. with its registered office in Poznań;
  • Golice Wind Farm Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Warsaw.

As a rule, the Contracts were terminated by the end of November 2016. The exact termination date resulted from contractual provisions.

The Company terminated/withdrew from individual Contracts due to the impossibility of restoring contractual equilibrium and equivalency of performances of the parties caused by changes in the law.

Changes in the law which took place after the conclusion of the aforesaid Contracts, i.e. in particular:

  • Regulation of the Minister of Economy of 18 October 2012 concerning detailed scope of obligations to obtain renewable energy certificates and present them for redemption, pay the substitution fee, purchase electricity and heat produced in renewable energy sources, and the obligation to confirm data concerning the amount of electrical energy produced in a renewable energy source (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1229);
  • The Renewable Energy Sources Act of 20 February 2015 (Journal of Laws of 2015, item 478) and the ensuing changes in the law and published Bills and draft regulations including, in particular:
  • The Act on the Amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and Certain Other Acts of 22 June 2016 (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 925); and
  • The draft Regulation of the Minister of Energy concerning a change of the quantitative share of the sum of electrical energy resulting from redeemed certificates of origin confirming production of electrical energy from renewable energy sources, to be enacted under the delegation resulting from Article 12 section 5 of the Act on the Amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and Certain Other Acts of 22 June 2016,

prevented the preparation of reliable models forecasting future prices of the green certificates.

By terminating the Contracts the Company intends to avoid financial loses constituting the difference between contract prices and the market price of the green certificates.

Due to the changed legal conditions following termination of the Contracts in 2017, in particular resulting from the provisions of the Act of 20 July 2017 on amending the renewable energy sources act, the estimated value of future contractual liabilities would have been changed. In the current legal situation it would have been significantly lower in comparison to the amount of ca. PLN 1,187 million estimated as at the moment of termination of the contracts. The drop reflects the change in the method of determination of the substitution fee, which as per some of the contracts is the basis for the calculation of the contractual price and the connected market price.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

The Company created a provision in the amount of PLN 85.684.000 for potential claims arising from the terminated contracts, with reference to sales notifications of the counterparties concerning property rights submitted by 31 December 2017; the provision is presented in Note 32.

48. Participation in the programme of construction of a nuclear power plant

On 15 April 2015, KGHM, PGE, TAURON and Enea concluded the PGE EJ 1 Shares Acquisition Agreement. KGHM, PGE, TAURON and Enea each acquired from PGE a 10% stake (a total of 30% shares) in PGE EJ 1. Enea paid for these shares PLN 16 million.

On 21 December 2016, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of PGE EJ 1 was held. During the Meeting the Shareholders resolved to raise the share capital of the Company by approximately PLN 35 million by way of creating 248,220 new shares with the par value of PLN 141 each, subscribe for the newly-created shares and finance them with cash contributions. Pursuant to the decision of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, Enea subscribed for shares with the total par value of approximately 3.5 million and financed them with a cash contribution of approximately PLN 3.5 million.

In accordance with the Shareholder Agreement, Enea S.A.'s financial commitment in the Initial Phase will not exceed PLN 107 million and is to consist in providing contributions up to this amount towards the increased share capital of PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o.

As a shareholder, Enea S.A. is obligated to vote in favour of increases of the share capital of PGE EJ 1 aimed at acquiring funds required for the implementation of the investment project and subscribe for shares in the increased share capital proportionately to its shares (10%) and finance shares with cash contributions in accordance with the relevant resolutions.

During the year 2017 there were no increases of the share capital of the company. In order to provide PGE EJ 1 with funds needed to finance its day-to-day operations, the Shareholders granted the company a loan. The loan granted by Enea S.A. was approximately PLN 2.9 million.

Under the Shareholder Agreement Enea S.A. participates in financing the activity of PGE EJ1 in accordance with the financing schedule adopted by the Shareholders.

Contracts that PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. plans to conclude are connected with the purpose of forming the Company, i.e. preparation of the investment process, construction, operation and decommissioning of a nuclear power plant with a capacity of approximately 3,000 MW in Poland. In view of the nature of the core activity of the company and the initial phase of the project, operating costs and investment outlays cannot be balanced with revenues, since they will be obtained after the conclusion of the investment project.

The risk to which Enea is exposed in connection with its participation in PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. is also mitigated by provisions of the Articles of Association of PGE EJ 1. Pursuant to the aforesaid Articles of Association, the Management Board of PGE EJ 1 is obligated to obtain the consent of the Supervisory Board before disposing of a right or contracting an obligation exceeding PLN 1,000,000 and not exceeding PLN 40,000,000 (§ 17 section 2 clause 1), subject to additional provisos contained in the Articles of Association. The powers of the Shareholders' Meeting

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

include, among others, granting consent to disposing of a right or contracting an obligation with a value in excess of PLN 40,000,000 (§ 25 section 4 clause 2), subject to additional provisos contained in the Articles of Association.

The parties providing financial support to PGE EJ 1 currently include all Company Shareholders, i.e. PGE S.A., KGHM S.A., TAURON S.A. and Enea S.A., holding 70%, 10%, 10%, 10% shares in the share capital of the company respectively.

As at 31 December 2017 and as at the date of drawing up these consolidated financial statements, Enea S.A. holds 220,467 shares in the share capital of PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. with the total nominal value of approximately PLN 31,085,000 representing 10% of the total number of shares/votes. Pursuant to Article 5.3.7 of the Shareholder Agreement, resolutions on an increase of the share capital during the Development Phase are to stipulate that the share capital increase is effected only if all the Shareholders subscribe for and finance shares in the increased share capital proportionately to their shares, unless otherwise resolved by the Shareholders. In the light of the foregoing, the share of Enea S.A. in the share capital of the company will not change without its consent.

49. Acquisition agreement of Eco-Power Sp. z o.o.

Fen Wind Farm B.V. with its registered office in Amsterdam and Wento Holdings S.à l. with its registered office in Luxembourg ("Claimants") brought an action against Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. for the conclusion of a share purchase agreement regarding shares of Eco-Power Sp. z o. o. at a price including a base amount of PLN 286,500,000.00 .

Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. denied the above claim and in its response to the statement of claim (and is subsequent letter of 7 January 2017) requested that the claim be dismissed in its entirety and that costs of the proceedings be charged to the Claimants. Based on the estimated value of shares of Eco-Power Sp. z o. o., the Group created a provision of PLN 129 million. This figure results from the difference between the price taking into account the base amount of PLN 286,500,000.00 and the value estimated according to the model of Enea SA.

The first court session was held on 10 April 2017, and the following sessions were held on 15 and 29 May, 20, 22 and 24 November 2017 and 5 January 2018, The Court has interviewed a majority of the witnesses. As of today, the hearing of an important witness, scheduled to take place on 22 January 2018 within the legal assistance, has not been held. The Company is waiting for the determination of the date of the following session and for the Court's decision regarding hearing of additional evidence.

50. Description of key accounting principles

The key accounting principles applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are presented below. These principles were applied continuously in all presented periods.

50.1. Basis forpreparation

The consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of financial instruments measured at fair value.

The accounting principles adopted by the Group were applied on a continuous basis, and changes in standards that came into force during the reporting period did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

50.2. Consolidation principles

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities in relation to which the Group is able to manage their financial and operating policies, which is usually accompanied by holding the majority of the total number of votes in the decisionmaking bodies. When assessing whether the Group controls a given entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Subsidiaries are subject to full consolidation from the date of taking control over them by the Group. They cease to be consolidated on the day the control ceases.

With regard to acquisitions of companies that are not under common control, the cost of acquisition is determined as the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities contracted or taken over as at the date of exchange. Identifiable acquired assets, as well as liabilities and contingent liabilities taken over as part of a merger of businesses, are initially measured at their fair value as at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest.

The Group measures non-controlling interests proportionally to the share in the fair value of the net assets acquired. In subsequent periods, the value of non-controlling interests includes the value recognized upon initial recognition adjusted for changes in the value of the subsidiary's capital in proportion to its shares. The total income is allocated to non-controlling interests even when it gives rise to a negative value of these shares.

In the event of a negative value, the Group reviews again the fair value of particular components of the net assets acquired. If as a result of the review the value is still negative, it is recognized immediately in the profit or loss of the current period.

Transactions, settlements and unrealized profits on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also subject to elimination unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting principles applied by subsidiaries have been changed where it was necessary to ensure compliance with the accounting principles applied by the Group.

(b) Associated and jointly controlled entities

Associated entities are all entities over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control, which is usually accompanied by holding between 20% and 50% of the total number of votes in the decision-making bodies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The surplus of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of the associated company as at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the carrying value of the investment, and its impairment is measured at the total value of the investment. Any surplus of the Group's share in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the acquisition after the revaluation is recognized immediately in the profit or loss of the current period.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Jointly controlled entities are all entities which the Group controls jointly with other entities on the basis of contractual arrangements. Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method in the same way as investments in associates.

The Group's share in the profit or loss of associated and/or jointly controlled entities from the acquisition date is recognized in profit or loss of the current period, and its share in changes in other capitals since the date of acquisition - in other comprehensive income. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted by the total change in equity from the acquisition date. When the Group's share in losses of an associated or jointly controlled entity becomes equal to or greater than the Group's share in this entity, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group ceases to recognize further losses, unless it has assumed obligations or made payments on behalf of a given associated or jointly controlled entity.

Unrealized profits on transactions between the Group and its associated or jointly controlled entities are eliminated in proportion to the Group's share in associated or jointly controlled entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting principles applied by associated or jointly controlled entities have been changed, where necessary, to ensure compliance with the accounting principles applied by the Group.

50.3. Business combinations/acquisitions

Business combinations /acquisitions of business entities outside joint control are settled using the acquisition method described in point 50.2.(a).

50.4. Foreign currencies transactions and measurement of foreign currency balances

(a) Functional currency and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of individual entities of the Group are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (in the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Polish zloty (PLN), which is the functional and presentation currency of all entities of the Capital Group. Items of the statements are presented rounded up to full thousands of zlotys.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions expressed in foreign currencies are translated as at the moment of initial recognition into the functional currency according to the exchange rate in force on the day of the transaction.

At the end of the reporting period, monetary items expressed in a foreign currency are converted using the closing rate (closing rate - this is the average NBP rate prevailing on the valuation day).

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of transactions in a foreign currency and the valuation of monetary assets and liabilities expressed in a foreign currency are recognized in the profit or loss of the current period, whereas gains or losses due to exchange rate differences on fixed assets under construction are recognized in expenditure on fixed assets under construction.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

50.5. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at the purchase price or production cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment allowances.

Subsequent expenditures are included in the book value of a given tangible fixed asset or are recognized as a separate tangible fixed asset (where appropriate) only when it is probable that this item will have a positive economic impact on the Group and the cost of the item may be reliably measured. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in the profit or loss in the financial period, in which they were incurred.

In case of replacement of a part of a fixed asset, in its carrying amount, the cost of the replaced component of this asset is recognized; at the same time, the carrying amount of the said component is removed from the statement on the financial situation, regardless of whether it was separately depreciated and recognized in the profit or loss of the current period.

The mine decommissioning costs included in the initial value of tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the same method as depreciation of tangible fixed assets to which they apply, starting from the commencement of use of a given tangible asset, for the period specified in the plan for liquidation of groups of facilities under the planned mine decommissioning schedule.

Land is not subject to depreciation. Depreciation of other tangible fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The basis for calculating depreciation is the initial value less the residual value if it is significant. Each significant component of an item of a tangible fixed asset with a different useful life is depreciated separately.

Periods of useful life of tangible fixed assets are as follows:

Buildings and structures 10 – 80 years
Whereof power networks 33 years
structures (mining excavations) natural depreciation based on length of the
exploited walls
plant and machinery 2 – 50 years
means of transport 3 – 30 years
other tangible fixed assets 3 – 25 years

The verification of the residual value and periods of use of tangible fixed assets is carried out at least once a year. Each change in the depreciation period requires justification and results in an adjustment of depreciation write-offs made in subsequent financial years.

As at each balance sheet date ending the financial year, an assessment is made of premises indicating impairment of assets in accordance with IAS 36. If it is determined that such premises exist, an impairment test is performed in accordance with IAS 36.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Depreciation begins when the asset is made available for use. Depreciation ends when the asset is put up for sale or when it is removed from the report on the financial situation.

As part of its operations, the Group receives tangible fixed assets making up the energy infrastructure free of charge. Until 31 December 2009, tangible fixed assets received were measured at fair value as at the time of the initial recognition, and their value was recognized simultaneously at the settlement of income from tangible fixed assets received free of charge, which is subject to settlement at the appropriate time as depreciation of these tangible fixed assets. From 1 January 2010, tangible fixed assets of the energy infrastructure obtained free of charge are recognized on a one-off basis in other operating revenues at the time of their receipt.

Profits and losses from disposal of tangible fixed assets constituting differences between revenues from sales and the balance sheet value of the tangible fixed asset disposed of are presented in the profit or loss of the current period.

50.6. Perpetual usufruct of land

Land owned by the State Treasury, local governments or their associations, may be placed in perpetual usufruct (PULR). Perpetual usufruct is a special right in rem entitling the holder to use a real property to the exclusion of other persons and to dispose of this object (right).

Depending on the manner of rights acquisition, the Group makes the following classification:

    1. PULR obtained free of charge by force of the law on the basis of a governor or local government unit decision – are treated as operational leasing.
    1. PULR acquired against payment from third parties are presented as PULR assets at the acquisition price less depreciation write-offs.
    1. PULR acquired under a perpetual usufruct of land agreement concluded with the State Treasury or local government units – are recognised as the surplus of the first fee over the annual fee and presented as a PULR asset and depreciated.

Depreciation of the right of perpetual usufruct of law takes place over the period for which this right has been afforded (between 40 and 99 years).

50.7. Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

The goodwill arising upon the acquisition results from the occurrence of the surplus of the sum of the transferred payment, the value of non-controlling interests and the fair value of previously held shares in the acquired entity over the Group's share in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognized as at the acquisition date.

In the event of a negative goodwill, the Group reviews again the fair value of particular components of the net assets acquired. If as a result of the review the goodwill is still negative, it is recognized immediately in the profit or loss of the current period.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to individual Group's cash-flow generating units, which should benefit from the synergies resulting from the merger. Cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if it is probable that impairment has occurred. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first in order to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this unit, and then to the remaining assets of this unit in proportion to the carrying amount of individual assets of that unit. Loss due to impairment recognized for goodwill is not reversed in the next period.

(b) Geological information

Purchased geological information is recognized in accordance with IFRS 6 "Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources" at the value resulting from the contract concluded with the Ministry of the Environment. It is not subject to depreciation until a mining concession has been obtained. Then, the capitalized costs are written off for the entire duration of the mining concession.

(c) Fees

The fee for establishing a mining usufruct for the purpose of extracting hard coal from the "Bogdanka" deposit is activated in the amount of the fee incurred. Capitalized costs are written off over the estimated period of mining usufruct.

(d) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include computer software, licenses, and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are measured at the purchase price or production cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment allowances.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, according to the estimated useful life, which is:

server licenses and software 2 - 10 years,
work stations licenses and software and anti-virus programs 2 - 10 years
geological information throughout the term of the mining concession,
other intangible assets 2 - 40 years.

Every year, the Group verifies the correctness of the determined period of use of intangible assets. Each change in the depreciation period requires justification and results in an adjustment of depreciation write-offs made in subsequent years.

At each reporting day ending the financial year, an assessment of the occurrence of premises indicating the possible impairment of intangible assets is carried out. If it is determined that such premises exist, an impairment test is performed in accordance with IAS 36.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

50.8. Research and development expenses

Research expenses are recognized in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Research and development expenses that meet the criteria for their capitalization, described below, like other intangible assets, are valued at purchase price or production cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment allowances. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method according to the estimated useful life, which is 2-7 years.

Capitalisation criteria:

  • the possibility, from a technical point of view, of completing an intangible asset so that it can be used or sold,
  • the intention to complete an intangible asset and its use or sale,
  • the ability to use or sell an intangible asset,
  • the way in which an intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among others, an enterprise should prove the existence of a market for products arising from an intangible asset or for the component itself or - if the asset is to be used by the entity - the usefulness of an intangible asset,
  • availability of appropriate technical, financial and other means to complete the development and use or sale of an intangible asset,
  • the possibility to reliably determine the expenditures incurred during development work that can be assigned to this component of intangible assets.

50.9. Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs that can be directly assigned, i.e. costs that could be avoided if no expenditure was made for the acquisition, construction or production of an asset, are capitalized as part of the purchase price or production cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Activation of borrowing costs begins at the later of the following two dates: start of investment or start of financing. Activation ends when all relevant work is completed.

50.10. Leasing

A lease agreement, under which substantially all risk and all benefits of ownership are vested in the Group, is classified as a financial lease. Leasing other than financial leasing is considered operational lease.

The financial lease item is recognized under assets as of the commencement of the lease at the lower of the two amounts: the fair value of the leased item or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each financial leasing fee is divided into the amount decreasing the liability balance and the amount of financial costs in such a way as to maintain a fixed interest rate in relation to the outstanding part of the liability. The interest element of the leasing instalment is recognized in financial costs in the profit and loss account of the current period over the lease term in such a way as to obtain a constant periodic interest rate for each period in relation to the outstanding portion

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

of the liability. Depreciable assets acquired under financial leasing are depreciated over the useful life of the assets.

Leasing fees paid under operational leases (net of any special promotional offers obtained from the lessor) are recognized in costs using the straight-line method over the lease term.

50.11. Impairmentof assets

The Group's assets are analysed for impairment whenever there are indications that an asset could be depreciated and annually for goodwill.

Non-financial assets

An impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of a given asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable value is determined as the higher of two amounts: fair value less costs of sale or utility value (i.e. the current estimated value of future cash flows expected to be obtained from the continued use of an asset or a cash-generating unit). For the purpose of impairment analysis, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

All impairment allowances are charged to profit or loss. Impairment allowances may be reversed in subsequent periods (with the exception of goodwill write-offs) if events occurred justifying the lack of or a change in the impairment of assets.

Financial assets

Financial assets are analysed at the end of each reporting period in order to determine whether there are any indications of impairment of these assets. It is recognized that the assets have been impaired if there are objective indications that one or more events had a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows from this asset. Individual financial instruments that are significant in terms of value are assessed individually in terms of impairment. Other financial assets are divided into groups with a similar level of credit risk to assess impairment.

The principles for making impairment allowances on financial assets are described in detail in Note 51.13.

50.12. Investment property

Investment property is maintained in order to obtain rental income, increase their value or for both reasons. For the valuation after the initial recognition, the Group chose the purchase price model.

Investments in real estate are depreciated using the straight-line method. Depreciation begins next month after accepting investment in real estate for use. The estimated period of use is as follows:

Buildings 25 – 35 years

Revenues from the lease of investment real estate are recognized in the profit or loss using the straight-line method

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

over the term of the contract.

50.13. Financial assets

The Group classifies financial instruments into the following categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, financial assets held to maturity and financial assets available for sale.

The classification is based on the criterion of the investment acquisition objective. The classification is made at the moment of initial recognition and then reviewed at the end of each reporting period if required or permitted by IAS 39.

(a) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes two sub-categories:

  • financial assets intended for trading; a financial asset is classified into this category, if it was acquired primarily for the purpose of being sold in the short term, it is part of a portfolio of specific financial instruments managed together and for which there is a probability of obtaining a profit in the short term, or is a derivative that does not constitute a hedging instrument,
  • financial assets designated at their initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are intended for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months from the reporting date.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value taking into account their market value as at the reporting date without taking into account the costs of the sale transaction. Changes in the value of these financial instruments are recognized in the profit or loss as financial revenues or costs. If the contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire contract may be classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss. This does not apply to cases where the embedded derivative does not have a material effect on cash flows from the contract or where separation of embedded instruments is expressly prohibited.

(b) Borrowings and receivables

Borrowings and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They usually arise when the Group spends cash, delivers goods or services directly to the debtor, without the intention to classify these receivables as intended for trading.

Borrowings and receivables are classified as current assets, provided their maturity does not exceed 12 months from the balance sheet date. Borrowings and receivables with maturities exceeding 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as fixed assets. Borrowings and receivables are disclosed in the financial statements under "trade receivables and other receivables". Borrowings and receivables are recognized at depreciated cost.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

(c) Financial assets held to maturity

Financial assets held to maturity are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity that the Group intends and is able to hold to maturity, other than:

  • designated by the Group at the initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss,
  • designated by the Group as available for sale and
  • meeting the definition of borrowings and receivables.

Financial assets held to maturity are measured at depreciated cost using the effective interest rate method.

If there is evidence indicating an impairment of borrowings and receivables or held-to-maturity investments measured at depreciated cost, the impairment allowance is determined as the difference between the carrying value of assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted with the original effective interest rate for these assets (i.e. the effective interest rate calculated as at the time of the initial recognition for the assets based on a fixed interest rate and the effective interest rate set at the moment of the last revaluation for assets based on a variable interest rate). The impairment allowance is recognized in the profit or loss. Reversal of an impairment allowance is recognized if in subsequent periods the impairment is reduced and this decrease can be attributed to events occurring after the impairment was recognized. As a result of the reversal of the allowance, the carrying amount of financial assets cannot exceed the amount of the depreciated cost that would have been determined if no impairment allowance had been previously recognized. The reversal of an allowance is recognized in the profit or loss.

(d) Financial assets available for sale

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial instruments designated as "available-for-sale" or not classified into any of the other categories. This category includes shares and stocks in unrelated entities. Availablefor-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless the Group intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

Transactions of purchase and sale of financial assets are recognized as at the transaction date - i.e. on the day when the Group undertakes to buy or sell a given asset. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value increased by transaction costs, except for investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially recognized at fair value without considering transaction costs.

Financial assets are derecognized from the books of account when the rights to receive cash flows on their account have expired or these rights have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of their ownership.

Financial assets available for sale and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value after initial recognition. If it is not possible to determine their fair value and if they do not have a fixed maturity date financial assets available for sale are measured at cost less impairment allowances. Financial assets held to maturity are measured at depreciated cost using the effective interest rate.

The effects of the measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The effects of the valuation of financial assets available for sale are recognized

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

in other comprehensive income, except for impairment allowances and those profits and losses due to exchange rate differences that arise for monetary assets. At the moment of removing from the books of account an asset classified as "available for sale", the total current profits and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in the profit or loss of the current period.

The fair value of investments for which there is an active market results from their current purchase price. If there is no active market for financial assets (or if securities are unquoted), the Group establishes fair value using appropriate valuation techniques that include the use of recent transactions under normal market conditions, comparison to other instruments that are essentially identical, discounted cash flows analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques / models commonly used in the market, tailored to the specific situation of the issuer.

If there are indications of impairment of unquoted equity instruments that are measured at the purchase price (due to the inability to reliably determine the fair value), the impairment allowance is determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the current market rate of return for similar financial assets. Such allowances are not reversed.

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets has been impaired.

If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the total current losses recognized in equity determined as the difference between the purchase price and the current fair value, less any impairment losses previously recognized in the profit or loss - are excluded from equity and presented in profits or losses. Impairment losses recognized in the profit or loss and relating to equity instruments are not reversed in correspondence with profits or losses. The reversal of the impairment loss on debt financial instruments is recognized in profits or losses, if in subsequent periods after the impairment was recognized, the fair value of these financial instruments increased as a result of events occurring after recognition of the impairment allowance.

(e) Hedge accounting and derivative instruments

Derivative instruments used by the Group to hedge against the risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates are measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are shown as assets when their value is positive and as liabilities - when their value is negative.

The fair value of currency contracts is determined by reference to current forward rates on contracts with the same maturity or on the basis of the valuation obtained from financial institutions. The fair value of Interest Rate Swap contracts can be determined based on the valuation received from independent financial institutions.

The Group applies hedge accounting to a part of the hedged exposure.

The Group defines certain hedges of the foreign exchange risk, including derivative instruments, embedded derivatives and other instruments as fair value hedges or cash flows hedges. The hedges of the exchange rate risk with respect to probable future liabilities are settled as cash flow hedges.

At the start of the hedging relationship, the Group documents this relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item and the risk management objectives as well as the strategy for the execution of various hedging transactions.

Derivative instruments are recognized in accordance with the principles of fair value hedge accounting or cash flow hedge if the following conditions are met simultaneously:

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

  • at the establishment of the hedge, the hedging relationship, as well as the Group's risk management objective and hedging strategy were officially designated and documented,
  • the hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, in line with the originally documented risk management strategy for that particular hedging relationship,
  • in the case of cash flow hedges, the planned transaction being the object of the hedge must be highly probable and must be subject to the risk of changes in cash flows, which as a result may affect the financial result,
  • the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably assessed,
  • the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and its high effectiveness is stated in all reporting periods for which the hedge was established.

In the event of applying fair value hedge accounting, the Group:

  • recognizes profits or losses resulting from revaluation of the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument in the profit/loss and
  • adjusts the book value of the hedged item by the profit or loss related to the hedged item resulting from the risk being hedged and recognizes it in the profit or loss of the current period (also in relation to availablefor-sale financial assets whose valuation effects are recognized in revaluation capital).

The Group ceases to apply fair value hedge accounting principles if:

  • the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or executed,
  • the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or
  • the Group cancels the hedging relationship.

Cash flow hedge is a hedge against a threat of cash flow volatility, which can be attributed to a specific risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable planned transaction and which could affect the financial result. A planned transaction is a non-binding but anticipated future transaction.

When using cash flow hedge accounting, the Group:

  • recognises the effective part of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in revaluation capital,
  • recognises the profit or loss related to the ineffective part in the financial result for the current period.

If the hedged planned transaction results in the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability, the related profit or loss that was included in the revaluation capital is transferred to the profit or loss in the same period or periods in which the acquired asset or liability affects the financial result. However, if the Group expects that all or some of the losses recognized in the revaluation capital will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it recognizes in the financial result the amount that is not expected to be recovered.

If the hedging of the planned transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability or a planned transaction involving a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a probable future liability

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

to which fair value hedging applies, the Group excludes the related profit or loss that was recognized in the revaluation capital and incorporates it into the initial cost of acquisition or into another carrying amount of an asset or liability.

The Group ceases to apply cash flow hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or realized or does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. In this situation, the cumulative profit or loss on the hedging instrument included in the revaluation reserve capital remains in them until the hedged transaction is executed. If the hedged transaction is not carried out, the cumulative net result included in the revaluation capital is transferred immediately to the profit or loss.

In addition, the Group documents the effectiveness with which the hedging instrument offsets changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, both at the time of the creation of the link and on a regular basis in subsequent periods.

50.14. CO2 emission allowances

CO2 emission allowances granted free of charge as part of the National Allocation Plan and additional CO2 emission allowances purchased for redemption, i.e. fulfilment of the obligation to account for CO2 emissions, are recognized as short-term intangible assets that are not subject to depreciation but are analysed for impairment and they are recognized in a separate item in current assets.

CO2 emission allowances granted free of charge for a given financial year are recognized at their nominal value, i.e. zero value. Any additional CO2 emission allowances purchased are recognized at the purchase price reduced by possible impairment allowances.

Records of CO2 emission allowances are kept in the following groups of rights:

  • green certificates (CER),
  • EUAs received free of charge and purchased.

In the above-mentioned groups, expenditures are accounted using the first-in, first-out method ("FIFO").

In connection with the CO2 emission, which accompanies the production of electricity, the Group is obliged to settle it by presenting a specified number of CO2 emission allowances to be redeemed. The costs associated with the fulfilment of the above obligations are recognized in the books of account systematically during the annual reporting period in proportion to the actual and planned production of electricity.

A provision is created against the costs of core operations for the estimated CO2 emission in the reporting period. The amount of the provision, recognized in the liabilities of the financial statements, is determined in accordance with the following principles:

  • the amount for which the provision is created is the most appropriate estimation of the outlays necessary to fulfil the current obligation as at the reporting date settled in annual periods
  • in the first place, the provision is created on the basis of the value of the allowances held as at the reporting date,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

  • if the demand for allowances is not covered by the number of owned or due allowances, a provision is created for the amount of uncovered estimated emission based on purchase prices of allowances specified in concluded forward contracts (if the delivery date was established before the date of the actual settlement of the obligation, i.e. redemption of allowances),
  • if the demand for the allowances is not met by the number of emission allowances presented in the financial statements and term allowances, a provision based on market quotes (Bluenext) is created for the volume of not covered estimated emission as at the reporting date.

The liability (provision) due to CO2 emissions is settled by way of redemption of the allowances.

Revenues from sales and the value of CO2 emission allowances sold are recognized in operating revenues and costs, respectively.

The value of the allowances sold is determined in accordance with the FIFO method in a given group of allowances:

  • green certificates (CER),
  • EUA free of charge and purchased.

50.15. Inventories

The components of inventories are measured at the acquisition price, which consists of the purchase price increased by the costs incurred for their purchase, i.e. in particular transport costs to the place of storage or at the production cost not higher than the net sale price.

Inventory consumption is determined:

  • using the weighted average purchase price, or
  • using the method of detailed identification of the actual prices (costs) of those assets that relate to welldefined projects, regardless of the date of their purchase or manufacture.

Inventories presented by the Group consist of energy origin certificates acquired for redemption, acquired for the purpose of re-sale, and created by the Group.

Certificates of origin of energy are a confirmation of energy production in a renewable energy source (energy coming from, e.g. wind, water, sun, biomass - so-called green certificates, energy from agricultural biogas - so-called blue certificates) or energy generated in cogeneration (from three types of sources, i.e. gas sources or sources with a capacity of less than 1 MW - so-called yellow certificates, sources with a capacity above 1 MW other than those fired with gaseous fuels, methane and gas from biomass processing - so-called red certificates and gas-fired sources obtained from biomass processing or methane released in the process of methane removal from mines - so-called purple certificates). They are issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office at the request of an energy company involved in the production of energy in renewable sources and cogeneration.

Energy efficiency certificates, i.e. white certificates, are a confirmation of the declared energy savings resulting from the undertakings aimed at improving energy efficiency in three areas, i.e. increasing energy savings by end users,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

increasing energy savings by energy producers' own devices operated for own needs and reducing losses of electricity, heat or natural gas in transmission and distribution. For the aforementioned categories of undertakings, tenders for the so-called white certificates are held. The certificates are issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office at the request of the entity that won the tendering procedure.

Property rights arising from energy certificates and energy efficiency certificates are established when energy certificates of origin and energy efficiency certificates are registered in the registers maintained by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. (TGE S.A.). These rights are transferable and constitute a commodity. The transfer of rights takes place at the moment of making an appropriate entry in the register of certificates of energy origin or in the register of energy efficiency certificates. Property rights expire upon redemption.

Acquired certificates of origin are valued at the purchase price less any impairment allowances.

Certificates of origin of energy generated in house are recognized at the moment of generating energy (or on the day on which obtaining the certificates became probable) unless there is justified doubt as to the possibility of their issuance by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. Certificates are recognized as inventory and measured at market prices in force on the last day of the month in which energy was generated.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Energy Law Act and the Energy Efficiency Act, an energy undertaking dealing in energy trading and selling this energy to end users shall be obliged to:

  • a) obtain energy certificates and energy efficiency certificates and present them to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for redemption, or
  • b) pay the substitution fee.

The Group is obligated to obtain and present for redemption:

  • a) certificates of origin of energy corresponding to the amounts set in the regulations enacted on the basis of the Energy Law as a percentage of total energy sales to end consumers,
  • b) energy efficiency certificates with a value expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent [toe], no more than 3% of the amount of revenue from the sale of electricity to end users, achieved for a given year in which this obligation is met and a single substitution fee. The amount of revenue from the sale of electricity to end users achieved for a given accounting year is reduced by the amounts and costs referred to in Article 12 section 4 of the Energy Efficiency Act. The amount of the obligation in individual accounting years is determined in a regulation enacted on the basis of the Energy Efficiency Act.

The deadline for fulfilling the obligation to redeem certificates of energy origin and energy efficiency certificates or to pay the substitution fees for a given year expires on the dates resulting from the applicable provisions of the energy efficiency law.

The Group presents certificates of energy origin and energy efficiency certificates to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for redemption, on a monthly basis, in order to fulfil the obligation for a given financial year. In the books of account, redemption of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates is recognised on the basis of the redemption decision issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, the redeemed certificates being subject to detailed identification.

In the absence of a sufficient number of certificates required to fulfil the obligations imposed by the Energy Law and

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

the Energy Efficiency Act as at the reporting date, the Group creates provisions for redemption of certificates of energy origin and energy efficiency certificates or for payment of the substitution fees.

50.16. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash at bank, bank deposits payable on demand and other short-

term

investments with the original maturity of up to three months and with high liquidity. Cash ismeasured at the end of the reporting period in the nominal value.

50.17. Share capital

The share capital of the Capital Group is the share capital of the parent company disclosed in the amount specified and entered in the court register, adjusted accordingly for the effects of hyperinflation and settlement of the effects of the separation, merger, and acquisition of companies. An increase in the share capital, which was covered at the end of the reporting period and which is awaiting registration in the National Court Register, is also presented as the share capital.

50.18. Loans, borrowings and debt securities

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs incurred.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities due to loans, borrowings and debt securities are measured at depreciated cost using the effective interest rate. When determining the depreciated cost, the costs related to obtaining a credit or a loan as well as discounts or bonuses obtained in connection with the liability are taken into account.

50.19. Income tax (including deferred income tax)

Income tax presented in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income consists of the current tax and deferred tax.

The current tax liability is calculated based on the taxable profit (tax base) for a given reporting period. Taxable profit/loss is different from the accounting net profit/loss due to the exclusion of taxable income and expenses that are deductible in subsequent years, as well as cost and revenue items that will never be subject to tax. Tax liabilities are calculated based on tax rates applicable in a given reporting period.

Deferred tax is the tax result of events in a given period, recognized in accordance with the accrual basis in the books of account of that period, but realized in the future. It arises when the tax effect of revenues and costs is the same as the balance sheet one, but occurs in other periods.

50.20. Employeebenefits

There are the following types of employee benefits in the Capital Group:

A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits in the Group include, among others: monthly salaries, annual bonus payments, reduced payment for energy purchase, short-term paid leave of absence with social insurance contributions due, the Energy Sector Day award and liabilities resulting from the Voluntary Redundancies Programme.

Liabilities due to short-term (accumulated) paid leave (remuneration for unused holidays) are recognized even if paid leave does not entitle the employee to a cash equivalent.

The Group determines the expected cost of accumulated paid leave as an additional amount that it is expected to pay as a result of unused entitlement established as at the balance sheet date.

B. Defined benefit schemes

The defined benefit schemes of the Group include:

1) Retirement benefits

Employees who retire are entitled to receive retirement benefits in the form of cash. The amount of these benefits depends on the length of service and the amount of remuneration received by the employee. Actuarial methods are used to estimate liabilities in this respect.

2) Right to a reduced electricity price after retirement

Retiring employees who have worked for at least one year in the Group have the right to a reduced payment for the purchase of energy. Pensioners have the right to a monetary equivalent of 3,000 kWh x 80% of the electricity price and the variable component of the transmission charge as well as 100% of the fixed network charge and subscription charge according to the single-zone tariff generally applicable to households. The cash equivalent is paid out twice a year, in an amount representing half of the annual equivalent each time. The value of the equivalent is adjusted by the increase in the price of electricity according to the tariff generally applicable to households in the year preceding the payment.

This right passes on to the spouse of the deceased employee, provided the spouse receives a family pension.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

3) Contribution to the Company Social Benefits Fund for pensioners covered by welfare provided by the Group The contribution to the Company Social Benefits Fund for pensioners covered by welfare provided by the Group is made in the amount resulting from legal regulations in force.

Employee benefits are recognized in the financial statements in liabilities due to employee benefits and the change in provisions is presented in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income.

4) Coal allowances

Former employees of Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A., whose contracts of employment have been terminated due to old age or disability retirement, or their spouses or close relatives, are entitled to an annual coal allowance. The Projected Unit Credit method requires that as at the reporting date provisions be also created with regard to the current employees of the Company, however only with regard to the amount of the aforementioned cash equivalent that will be paid as of the date of death or of the old age/ disability retirement.

The estimation of liabilities on account of these benefits referred to in items 1-4, is made by the actuary using the "Projected Unit Credit Method" method. Actuarial profits and losses are fully recognized in other comprehensive income.

C. Other long-term employee benefits

Jubilee bonuses

Other long-term employee benefits include jubilee bonuses. The amount of these bonuses depends on the length of service and the amount of remuneration received by the employee. Actuarial methods are used to estimate liabilities in this respect. Actuarial profits and losses are recognized in full in the profit or loss of the current period.

D. Defined contributions programme

1) Social insurance contributions

The social insurance system operates on the basis of a state programme, according to which the Group is obliged to pay social security contributions for employees when they become due. The Group is not required either legally or customarily to pay future social security benefits. The Group recognizes the cost of contributions concerning the current period in the profit or loss of the current period as the cost of employee benefits.

2) Employee Pension Scheme

Pursuant to Appendix to the Collective Labour Agreement, the Group operates an Employee Pension Scheme in the form of unit-linked group employee insurance in line with the statutory principles and under conditions negotiated with the labour unions.

The Employee Pension Scheme is available to all employees of the Group after one year of service, irrespective of the type of their employment contract.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Employees join the Employee Pension Scheme under the following terms and conditions:

  • insurance is concluded in the form of group life assurance with insurance protection,
  • the basic premium is set at 7% of the participant's remuneration,
  • 90% of the basic premium goes to the investment premium and 10% towards insurance protection.

The Group recognizes the cost of premiums under the Employee Pension Scheme for the current period in the profit or loss as the cost of employee benefits.

E. Payments in shares

The fair value of the shares purchase options granted is recognized as costs due to remuneration in correspondence with the increase in equity. Fair value is determined as at the date of award of the option to purchase shares by employees and spread over the period during which employees will unconditionally acquire the right to exercise their options (due to the fact that the fair value of employee benefits cannot be directly assessed, their value is determined based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted). The amount charged into costs is adjusted to reflect the current number of options granted, for which the work conditions and non-market conditions for the acquisition of rights are met.

50.21. Provisions

Provisions are created when the Group's companies are under a present obligation (legal or customary) resulting from past events and it is probable that the fulfilment of this obligation will result in the necessity to disburse resources embodying economic benefits and a reliable estimate of the amount of this obligation can be made. The amount for which the provision is created is the most appropriate estimate of the outlays necessary to fulfil the current obligation, discounted as at the balance sheet date.

The use of a previously created provision for certain or highly probable future liabilities is recognized when the liabilities arise to decrease the provision. Unused provisions, if the risk justifying their creation decreases or ceases, increase financial revenues or other operating revenues, respectively.

The Group also creates provisions for pre-litigation claims filed by owners of properties where distribution networks and equipment are located, as well as other potential claims related to the foundation of the Group's grid assets on properties to which the Group has no legal title. The estimation of the value of claims covers the potential payment of compensation for the so-called non-contractual use of land or rent and is performed by technical services.

Provision for certificates of energy origin and energy efficiency certificates

The Group creates provisions for certificates of energy origin and energy efficiency certificates or for payment of the substitution fees.

The basis for determining the provisions for the redemption of certificates of energy origin for each item is the number of certificates that constitutes the difference between the number of certificates required for redemption

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

in accordance with the Energy Law and the number of certificates redeemed as at a given reporting day.

The basis for determining the provisions for the redemption of energy efficiency certificates is the number of certificates expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent which is the difference between the number of certificates required for redemption in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Act and the number of certificates redeemed as at the reporting date.

The provision is valued:

    1. in the first place on the basis of the purchase price for energy efficiency certificates held but not redeemed as at the balance sheet date,
    1. in the second place on the basis of the purchase price resulting from the contracts of sale concluded by the Group, as regards the part of the certificates that the Group intends to receive in the first place,
    1. in the third place, on the basis of the weighted average price in session transactions concluded on the Property Rights Market maintained by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. during the month in which the reporting day on which the value of the provision is determined falls,
    1. and in the absence of these transactions or in the event of a shortage in the market preventing the Group from purchasing the sufficient number of rights required for the fulfilment of the obligation, the outstanding provision is valued on the basis of the one-off substitution fee payable in a given financial year.

Provision for the decommissioning of a mine

The provision for future costs related to the decommissioning of a mining plant is established on the basis of obligations under the "Geological and Mining Law" imposing on the mining company the obligation to liquidate mining plants after the end of operation, in the amount of anticipated costs related to:

  • securing or liquidation of mining excavations as well as facilities and equipment of the mining plant;
  • securing the unused part of the mineral deposit;
  • securing neighbouring mineral deposits;
  • securing excavations of neighbouring mining plants;
  • undertaking the necessary measures to protect the environment and reclaim the land and develop areas affected by past mining activities.

The costs of mine decommissioning are calculated by an independent consulting firm using historical data concerning mine decommissioning costs in the coal mining sector in Poland.

50.22. Revenue recognition

Sales revenues are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or due, net of the goods and services tax, rebates, and discounts.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Revenues from the sale of energy and distribution services are recognized at the moment of energy delivery. For the purpose of determining the amount of revenues for the period between the last invoicing date and the balance sheet date, an estimate of revenues is made, which is shown in the statements of financial position under trade and other receivables.

Revenues from the sale of certificates of origin of energy acquired for resale are presented in accordance with the rules described in 51.15.

Revenues from the sale of products, goods, and materials are recognized when the entity has transferred significant risks and benefits of ownership of products, goods, and materials and is likely to obtain economic benefits from transactions.

Revenue from connection fees for projects completed until 31 December 2009 are recognized as deferred income and accounted for during the depreciation period of the connections, which based on current estimates is 35 years. In the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU these fees are recognised as long-term deferred income due

to subsidies and connection fees. At the end of each reporting period, fees up to 1 year are reclassified to short-term deferred income due to subsidies and connection fees. Advance payments for connection fees that were received by the Group until 31 December 2009 and where the connections were commissioned after 1 January 2010, are recognized in 100% directly as revenues, in accordance with IFRIC 18, introduced from 1 January 2010 by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

Revenues from the lease of investment real estate are recognized in the profit or loss using the straight-line method over the term of the contract.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate.

Dividend revenue is recognized when the right to receive payment is acquired.

50.23. Assets received free of charge and subsidies

The Group receives tangible fixed assets of energy infrastructure free of charge. Until 31 December 2009, such assets were recognized as tangible fixed assets, and their equivalent was recognized in the financial statements as deferred income, settled over time in the profit or loss proportionally to the depreciation costs charged on the tangible fixed assets received. Revenues from tangible fixed assets of the energy infrastructure received free of charge after 1 January 2010 are recognized on a one-off basis at the time of receipt of these assets in revenues in the profit or loss of the period.

Subsidies (other tangible fixed assets, reimbursements of expenses incurred on fixed assets) are recognized in the financial statements as deferred income if there is a sufficient certainty of their receipt and the Group meets the conditions related to them. Subsidies received as a reimbursement of costs already incurred by the Group are systematically recognized as revenue in the profit or loss in periods in which related costs are incurred. Subsidies

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

received as reimbursement of investment expenditures incurred by the Group are systematically recognised as other operating revenue in the profit or loss for the useful life of the asset, in proportion to depreciation write-offs.

50.24. Connection fees

Revenues from connection fees for projects completed until 31 December 2009 are recognized as deferred income and

accounted for during the depreciation period of the connections, which based on current estimates is 35 years. In the financial statements, these fees are presented as long-term liabilities. At the end of each reporting period, the fees up to 1 year are reclassified to short-term liabilities.

Advances on the connection fees received by the Group by 31 December 2009, concerning connections commissioned after 1 January 2010, are presented on a one-off basis in revenues.

50.25. Dividend payment

Payments of dividends to shareholders (including minority shareholders in the case of dividends of subsidiaries) are recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which they were approved by the shareholders of the Parent Company.

50.26. Non-current assetsheld for sale

Non-current assets intended for sale are assets that meet the following criteria:

  • their carrying amount will be recovered through sales transactions and not through further use;
  • the Management Board of the Company submitted a sales declaration and an active search for a potential buyer was initiated;
  • assets are available for immediate sale in their current condition;
  • the sale transaction is highly probable and it can be settled within 12 months of making the decision;
  • the selling price is reasonable in relation to the current fair value;
  • there is a low probability of introducing changes to the plan for the sale of these assets.

If the criteria are met after the end of the reporting period, the classification of assets at the end of the financial year preceding the event is not changed. The change in classification is reflected in the reporting period in which the criteria have been met. When the asset is designated for disposal, depreciation is discontinued.

Assets held for sale are valued at the lower of two values: the net carrying amount or fair value less costs of sale.

50.27. Statement regarding the new standards and interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Standards

The following new Standards, amendments to Standards and Interpretations have not been adopted by the EU or are not yet effective for annual periods ending on 31 December 2017 and have not been applied in the consolidated financial statements:

  • IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers for periods beginning on 1 January 2018,
  • Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers for periods beginning on 1 January 2018,
  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for periods beginning on 1 January 2018,
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • IFRS 16 Leases for periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • IFRS 14 Regulatory prepayments and accruals for periods beginning on 1 January 2016 the European Commission has decided not to approve this interim Standard pending the Standard proper,
  • Sale or Transfer of Assets between the Investor and the Associated Company or Joint Undertaking (Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Associates) - for periods beginning on 1 January 2016 - The European Commission has decided to postpone the approval of these amendments indefinitely,
  • Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments for periods beginning on 1 January 2018,
  • Amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards 2014-2016 for periods beginning on 1 January 2018 (except for amendments to IFRS 12 that are effective in relation to annual periods starting on 1 January 2017 or later),
  • IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advances for periods beginning on 1 January 2018,

  • IFRIC 23 Uncertainty Related to the Income Tax Approach for periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures for periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • Amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards 2015-2017 for periods beginning on 1 January 2019.

The Group intends to apply them to the periods in which they will be effective for the first time.

As of 1 January 2018, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments came into force. The published standard introduces new principles of classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, determination of impairment allowances on financial assets and hedge accounting. In connection with the entry into force of IFRS 9 and the resulting new classification of financial assets, the Group is considering a change in the presentation of financial assets in the consolidated financial statements and, respectively, financial liabilities. The analysis carried out for the purposes of applying IFRS 9 indicates that as at 1 January 2018, additional write-offs will be recognized amounting to PLN 5,610 thousand for trade receivables. A write-off will be introduced in correspondence with retained earnings. The Group will apply IFRS 9 retrospectively with the recognition of adjustments to its requirements as at 1 January 2018.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

As of 1 January 2018, IFRS 15 Income from contracts with customers came into force. In accordance with the new Standard, the Group will use a five-stage model to determine the moment of recognition of revenues and their amount. The analysis conducted to determine the needs of applying IFRS 15 indicates significant differences between the requirements of this Standard and the current accounting practice when it comes to recognizing revenues from sales. The major changes anticipated by the Group are:

  • recognition of revenues from the distribution network connection fees for projects completed until 31 December 2009 - until now they were recognized as deferred income and accounted for during the period of depreciation of the connections amounting to 35 years; revenues from connection fees settled so far over time will be recognized as an adjustment of the initial balance of retained earnings in the amount of approximately PLN 417,000 thousand. At the same time, from 2018, the Group will not show PLN 16,000 thousand in the consolidated income statement as an annual write-off;
  • recognition of revenues from received cash or assets similarly as in the case of the connection fees, assets received by 31 December 2009, will be recognized as an adjustment to the initial balance of retained earnings of approximately PLN 71,000 thousand and as of 2018, the Group will not show approximately PLN 5,500 thousand in the consolidated income statement as an annual write-off;
  • the Group acting as an intermediary/agent:

  • in comprehensive agreements regarding sale of gaseous fuels to the extent of distribution services (as a result of netting, a reduction of sales revenues and corresponding costs by approximately PLN 29,000 thousand);

  • in electricity sale contracts to the extent of additional services (as a result of netting, a reduction of sales revenues and corresponding costs by approximately PLN 1,500 thousand);

  • in contracts for the provision of electricity distribution services with regard to the interim fee, the quality fee and the fee for renewable energy (as a result of netting, a reduction of sales revenues and corresponding costs by approximately PLN 630,000 thousand);

  • in contracts for the provision of coal transport services (as a result of netting, a reduction in sales revenues and corresponding costs by approximately PLN 8,500 thousand);

which will not change the consolidated financial result reported by the Group.

The Group will apply IFRS 15 retrospectively with the presentation of the total effect of the first application of this Standard as an adjustment to the initial balance of retained earnings in the annual reporting period in which the first application date falls.

As of 1 January 2019, IFRS 16 Leases enters into force. With regard to lessees, the new Standard eliminates the current distinction between financial and operational leases. The recognition of an operational lease in the consolidated statement of financial position will result in the recognition of a new asset - the right to use the leased asset - and a new liability - the liability to make a lease payment. The rights to use leased assets will be subject to amortisation, while interests will accrue on the liability. This will result in higher costs in the initial leasing phase, even if its parties have agreed on fixed annual fees. Recognition of lease agreements with the lessor will in most cases remain unchanged due to the retained division into operational and financial leases. Currently, the Group is reviewing Standard with an aim to determine the value of adjustments. The Group expects that upon initial recognition the

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-EU for the financial year ended on 31 December 2017 (all amounts in PLN '000, unless specified otherwise)

Standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The new standard will increase the balance sheet total, change the classification of costs in the profit and loss account and the presentation of cash flows. In the profit and loss account, expenses due to renting and leasing, recognized under the new regulation as a lease, will be replaced by depreciation costs and interest cost (similar to the current recognition of financial leasing in accordance with IAS 17). As a result, the lease cost will appear at an early stage of the contract, which will reduce the revenue and equity immediately after the initial recognition of the lease, which is now recognized as operational lease. The new requirements eliminate the concept of operational lease, and consequently the off-balance sheet recognition of assets used on this basis. All assets used and the corresponding liabilities to pay rent will be included in the statement of financial position. This will change the basis for calculating commonly used financial indicators, such as debt ratios or EBITDA. This will increase the comparability of data between companies, but it will also have an impact on covenants in loan agreements, credit ratings, financial costs and stakeholder perception of the company.

With respect to the other new Standards, amendments to Standards and Interpretations, the Group has not yet analysed their impact on its financial position and business results.
