2. Statement on compliance

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

The Parent's Management Board used its best knowledge as to the application of standards and interpretations as well as methods and rules for the measurement of items in ENEA Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with EU IFRS as at 31 December 2018. The presented tables and explanations are prepared with due diligence. These consolidated financial statements have been audited by a statutory auditor. The accounting rules are applied consistently across all of the presented periods unless stated otherwise.

3. Significant estimates and assumptions

Preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with EU IFRS requires the Management Board to adopt certain assumptions and make estimates that have an impact on the adopted accounting rules and the amounts shown in consolidated financial statements and notes to financial statements. Such assumptions and estimates are based on the Management Board's best knowledge regarding current and future events and activities. Actual results may significantly differ from forecasts. Key areas where the Management Board's estimates have considerable impact on consolidated financial statements:

  • employment benefits during and after employment a valuation was adopted for employee benefit provisions based on the balance of liabilities at the end of the reporting period concerning expected future payments of benefits, which was calculated using actuarial methods; discount rates and long-term growth in wages have additional impact on this estimate (note 33),
  • purchase of associates and jointly controlled entities based on agreements concerning the given

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

investment, the Company judges whether there is joint control or significant influence,

  • depreciation and amortisation periods for tangible and intangible assets the amount of depreciation / amortisation charges is determined on the basis of expected period of use for tangible and intangible assets. Periods of economic life are verified at least once every financial year. The depreciation / amortisation periods used are presented in notes, 55.5, 55.6, 55.7 and 55.12 to these consolidated financial statements. Verification conducted this year resulted in changes to depreciation / amortisation periods. Their impact in 2019 on the amount of depreciation / amortisation will be PLN (23 989 thousand).
  • impairment of trade and other receivables impairment of receivables is determined based on expected credit losses. Expected credit losses take into account previous counterparty default events as well as potential estimated credit losses (note 17). Potential credit losses are estimated taking into account the type, age, and stage of recovery, with the following stages used: current receivable, overdue receivable prior to court, receivable in court or enforcement proceeding, receivable in bankruptcy or court arrangement. Receivables are written off as costs based on existing internal regulations, taking into account provisions of the Act on corporate income tax,
  • uninvoiced revenue from sales as at the end of financial year unsettled energy sales values are estimated on the basis of estimated electricity consumption in the period from the most recent meter reading to the end of financial year (notes 17 and 18),
  • compensation for non-contractual use of property this estimate includes potential payments of compensation for non-contractual use of land and for rent (notes 34 and 50.6),
  • provision for rehabilitation of landfill site after filling or closing a slag and ash landfill site, the Group is required to rehabilitate the land. Due to the fact that the Group owns large unfilled landfill areas, it is expected that rehabilitation of the landfill will be required in 2060 at ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. and 2043 at ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. Future estimated costs for landfill rehabilitation were discounted to present value as at 31 December 2018 using a discount rate of 3.22% (note 34),
  • recoverable value of tangible and intangible assets cash generating units are tested for impairment using a variety of assumptions, some of which are beyond the Group's control. Significant changes in these estimates have an impact on impairment test results and, in consequence, on the Group's financial position and financial results (note 7),
  • provision for purchasing CO2 emission allowances judgements concern assumptions related to the allocation of free CO2 emission allowances for the Group for 2018 (note 34),
  • estimates of mine life-cycles and coal resources – LWB's life-cycle is expected to reach 2051 on the basis of coal resources covered by a concession and estimated production capacities. The actual deadline for mine closure might be different from the Group's estimates. This results from the calculation being based on the mine's estimated life-cycle and only the coal resources being available as at the reporting date. A decline in demand for the Group's coal might result in production falling below production capacities, which would extend the mine life-cycle. On 17 November 2017 the Group received a mining concession for the "Ostrów" area, with estimated coal resources of approx. 186 million tonnes. Securing this concession constitutes a key element in a plan to double resources and extend the mine's life-cycle to approx. 50 years (which will

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

necessitate significant investment in new infrastructure, including a new shaft).

The Group is also working on extending the mining area in the coming years by including the "Orzechów" field (the Group currently has an exploration concession for "Orzechów"). At the same time, the Group continues attempts to secure a mining concession for fields K-6 and K-7,

  • estimating provisions for mine closure the Group creates a provision for the costs of mine closure as required by law. The key assumptions used in determining mine closure costs include mine life-cycle, expected inflation and long-term discount rates. Any changes to these assumptions have an impact on the provision's book value (note 34),
  • provision for difference in estimate of value of Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. shares - the Group has estimated the value of its stake in Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. and created a provision for the difference between the price, taking into account the base amount, which is PLN 286 500 000.00, and the amount estimated using ENEA S.A.'s model (note 52),
  • provision for claims concerning contracts for purchase of property rights – the recognition of this provision requires the most accurate estimate of potential compensation for terminating contracts for the purchase of property rights (note 50.8),
  • recoverability of deferred income tax assets – these are measured using tax rates in effect when the asset is performed. The Group recognises a deferred income tax asset with the assumption that it will generate a tax profit in the future and use the tax asset,
  • presentation of deposits at clearing-house IRGiT these are funds constituting collateral for settlements with the clearing-house Izba Rozliczeniowa Giełd Towarowych S.A. and they are analysed in terms of the possibility to free them up without incurring a substantial loss (note 23).

4. Methods forimplementing new standards

IFRS 9 - the Group implemented IFRS 9 retrospectively, with recognition of adjustments as at 1 January 2018. The Group applies IFRS 9 in accordance with its transition regulations - without restating comparative data for previous periods, i.e. 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2017, to reflect IFRS 9 requirements concerning measurement. As at 1 January 2018, the Group recognised an impairment loss on trade and other receivables amounting to PLN 3 741 thousand net.

IFRS 15 - the Group implemented IFRS 15 retrospectively, with overall first-time adoption effect, and recognised the overall effect of first-time adoption as an adjustment of the balance of initial retained earnings in the reporting period into which the first-adoption date falls.

The Group does not restate comparative data for previous periods, i.e. 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2017. Revenue from connection fees thus far settled over time (for tasks completed prior to 31 December 2009) was recognised as an adjustment of the beginning balance of retained earnings in the amount of PLN 417 391 thousand. Revenue from assets received prior to 31 December 2009 was recognised as an adjustment of the beginning balance of retained earnings in the amount of PLN 70 735 thousand. The impact of the above adjustments on the beginning

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

balance of retained earnings reached PLN 395 382 thousand net, which constitutes the sum total of the amounts, adjusted by deferred income tax assets.

Under IFRS 15, the Group acts as agent collecting fees for other energy market participants, including for PSE. In consequence, revenue from the sale of distribution services is decreased by the amount of renewables fee, quality fee and transition fee collected. Costs related to the procurement of transmission services and costs related to invoices for renewables support and support for producers are subject to adjustment.

In these consolidated financial statements, the Group offset revenue from the sale of electricity distribution services and the cost of electricity transmission services for a total amount of PLN 585 328 thousand. This is the most significant netted item in these consolidated financial statements.

6. Segmentreporting

The Group presents segment information in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Operating segments correspond to the reporting segments and are not aggregated. The Group's activities are managed in operating segments that are distinct in terms of products and services. ENEA Group reports four operating segments:

  • trade the purchase and sale of electricity,
  • distribution electricity distribution and transmission services,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • generation the generation of electricity from conventional and renewable sources, generation of industrial heat,
  • mining the production and sale of coal, companies providing support services to mines,

and other activities - maintenance and modernisation of road lighting equipment, transport services, repair and construction services.

Segment revenue is revenue generated from sales to external customers and transactions with other segments that can be directly attributed to the given segment. In 2018, within the mining segment, external customers whose share in the Group's external sales exceeded 10% included Grupa Azoty Zakłady Azotowe "Puławy" (44.8%) and Energa Elektrownie Ostrołęka S.A. (21.9%). Segment costs include the cost of sales to external customers and costs of transactions with other segments within the Group that result from the operating activities of a given segment and can be directly attributed to the given segment.

Market prices are applied to inter-segment transactions, which makes it possible for units to generate margins sufficient to independently operate on the market.

In analysing segment results, the Group especially focuses on EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as operating profit (calculated as result before tax adjusted by the share of results of associates and jointly controlled entities, finance income, dividend income and finance costs) plus amortisation and impairment of non-financial non-current assets.

Rules for determining segment results and segment assets and liabilities are consistent with the accounting rules used in preparing consolidated financial statements.

Information on geographic segments

The Group's activities in 2018 and 2017 were in one geographic segment, i.e. in Poland, and all of its assets were located in Poland.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018

7. Impairmenttests on non-current assets

In connection with an update dated 29 June 2018 of the Act on renewable energy sources, which introduced regulations that change the property tax treatment for wind assets, effective from 1 January 2018, in the second quarter of 2018 the Group updated impairment tests conducted in previous years for the wind energy area and estimated the impact of a decrease in tax burden on the usable value of wind farms.

As at 31 December 2018, in connection with information and analyses concerning changes in the market prices of CO2 emission allowances, electricity, energy origin certificates and a change in Capacity Market conditions as well as forecasts for macroeconomic indicators, the Group carried out impairment tests for property, plant and equipment in areas involved in the generation of electricity. Based on these tests, no asset impairment was identified in the tested areas.

Based on analysis, impairment losses worth a total of PLN 170 734 thousand on non-financial non-current assets at CGU Water and CGU Wind were reversed. The reversal increased the Group's net result by PLN 138 295 thousand. No need for further recognition of impairment or reversal of impairment was identified at CGUs Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice and Połaniec and CGUs Biogas, Białystok and Zielony Blok.

Presented below are the results of these impairment tests:

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The recoverable value of each CGU was estimated on the basis of useful value using the discounted cash flows approach based on financial projections.

The following forecast periods were used for testing the CGUs:

  • CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice until 2041,
  • CGU Białystok until 2041,
  • CGU Wind:
    • wind farm Darżyno until 2037,
    • wind farm Bardy until 2036,
    • wind farm Baczyna until 2041,
  • CGU Hydro until 2041,
  • CGU Biogas until 2023,
  • CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec until 2034,
  • CGU Zielony Blok until 2042.

Presented below are the key assumptions used in impairment tests:

  • assets were tested in seven CGUs (CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice, CGU Białystok, CGU Wind, CGU Hydro, CGU Biogas, CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec, CGU Zielony Blok),
  • the main price paths, based on forecasts prepared by ENEA Trading (a company operating as ENEA Group's competence centre for wholesale trade of electricity, property rights, emission allowances and fuels), taking into account the specific nature of products and knowledge about existing contracts:
    • wholesale electricity prices: for years 2019-2041, the assumed prices range between PLN 237 and PLN 310 [constant prices 2018], with considerable growth from 2025,
    • prices of energy origin certificates for renewables and cogeneration: existence of renewables support systems until 2031 (once the support system for high-efficiency cogeneration ends in 2018), and specific renewables plants will use support within a 15-year period; prices will largely be in a sideways trend and will decline towards the end of the property rights system's operation from approx. PLN 160 to PLN 80 [constant prices 2018],
    • CO2 emission allowance prices: general increase in the forecast period from 2020 to approx. 37 EUR/t [constant prices 2018],
    • coal prices: coal prices are expected to fall until 2025, followed by moderate growth in subsequent periods of the forecast, up to 11.5 PLN/GJ [constant prices 2018],
    • biomass prices: biomass prices are expected to grow through to 2030 and decline after 2030 as the existing green certificate support system ends.
    • heat prices: heat prices are expected to grow to approx. 103 PLN/GJ during the forecast period [constant prices 2018],
  • quantity of CO2 emission allowances received for free for years 2019-2021 in accordance with derogation application (pursuant to art. 10c sec. 5 of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council),

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • revenue related to maintaining generation capacities from 2021 pursuant to the Act on the Capacity Market, based on auctions won in 2018,
  • inflation, taking into account the inflation target, at a maximum level of 2.5%,
  • nominal discount rate 6.73% [discount rate before tax is 7.7%],
  • growth rate in residual period 0%.

The sensitivity analysis shows that significant factors having impact on the estimated recoverable values of CGUs include: discount rates, inflation, electricity prices and CO2 emission allowance prices. Future financial results and thus the recoverable amounts of CGUs will also be driven by the prices of energy origin certificates, coal, heat and biomass prices.

The following table shows the impact of selected factors on the total recoverable value (output value) of CGUs:

Impact of change in discount rate (input value 6.73%)

Change in assumptions -0.5pp Output value +0.5pp
Change in recoverable value 755 996 10 103 475 (660 825)

13.1. Performance of investment agreement with Energa S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. concerning the construction andoperationofa powerunitatElektrowniaOstrołękaSp. zo.o.

On 8 December 2016, the Company executed an Investment Agreement with Energa S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. concerning project Ostrołęka C. The subject of the Agreement was to prepare, build and operate a modern 1000 MW coal unit at the Ostrołęka power plant. On 19 December 2016, the SPV announced a tender procedure to select the general contractor to build the Ostrołęka C unit, with approx. 1000 MW and net efficiency of at least 45%, operating on supercritical steam.

Under certain assumptions (including the appropriate participation of ENEA S.A., Energa S.A. and potential Financial Investors) and a support mechanism resulting from the introduction of a capacity market or other support mechanisms, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. will be able to implement the project in a comprehensive manner.

ENEA Capital Group

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Performing the Investment Agreement, ENEA S.A. from 1 February 2017 to 23 March 2018 purchased from Energa S.A. shares of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in tranches that add up to a 50% stake in share capital and amount to approx. PLN 101 million. As a result of the company's share capital increases, ENEA S.A. contributed PLN 170 500 thousand.

Overall in 2017-2018, ENEA S.A. spent PLN 271 425 thousand on purchasing the company's shares and recapitalising it.

As a result of the above transactions, Energa S.A. and ENEA S.A. assumed joint control over Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o., based in Ostrołęka, the aim of which is to build and operate a new coal-based unit. Each of the parties has a 50% stake in Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. and an equal number of General Meeting votes. An equal number of representatives of both of the investors seat on the Management Board and Supervisory Board. Decisions pertaining to significant activities require unanimous consent of the two shareholders that have rights to the net assets of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. Taking the above into account, the investment is classified as a joint venture and is accounted for using the equity method.

On 4 April 2018 Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. concluded a procedure for the award of a public contract entitled "Construction of 1000-MW Elektrownia Ostrołęka C by selecting a consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. and Alstom Power System S.A.S as the General Contractor, which offered to perform the subject of the tender in parameters specified in the proposal for PLN 5 049 729 thousand net, PLN 6 023 035 thousand gross.

On 6 July 2018 an Extraordinary General Meeting of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. granted consent to execute a public supply contract with the General Contractor: Consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. (consortium leader) and ALSTOM Power Systems S.A.S., selected by the SPV in a procedure for the award of a public contract by way of competitive dialogue entitled "Construction of 1000-MW Elektrownia Ostrołęka C."

The agreement with the General Contractor: Consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. (consortium leader) and ALSTOM Power Systems S.A.S. was signed by the Management Board of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. on 12 July 2018.

On 4 September 2018 a memorandum was signed by ENEA S.A., Energa S.A., Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. and FIZAN Energia ("Fund") concerning the Fund's equity investment (by purchasing shares in the SPV's share capital) in the project being implemented by the SPV to prepare, build and operate a hard coal-fired power unit with gross output of approx. 1000 MW. The Fund's investment in Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. is subject to several legal, corporate and financial conditions being met, including the market situation. The memorandum was valid until 30 November 2018.

On 24 September 2018, an Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. granted directional approval to join the Construction Stage of the Ostrołęka C project, i.e. the stage from the moment Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. issues an order to proceed (NTP) to the general contractor until the power unit being built as part of the Ostrołęka C project is put into commercial operation. This consent was one of a number of corporate approvals that precede the issue of the NTP.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

On 21 December 2018, a Capacity Market auction took place for delivery year 2023, with the participation of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. The final results of the capacity auction were announced by the URE President on 14 January 2019.

Following the auction, Elektrownia Ostrołęka C executed a capacity contract for a 15-year support period for 202.99 PLN/kW/year, translating into annual revenue of approx. PLN 173 million.

Through resolution 94/IX/2018 of 28 December 2018, the Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. approved the following:

  • execution by the Management Board of ENEA S.A. of a memorandum with ENERGA S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. regarding rules for cooperation between the parties in the project to build Elektrownia Ostrołęka C, including termination of the Investment Agreement of 8 December 2016 together with Annex 1/2018 executed on 26 March 2018 and limiting ENEA S.A.'s financial involvement at the Construction Stage to PLN 1 billion,
  • vote by an ENEA S.A. representative at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. for a resolution on consent to issue an NTP, provided that this is preceded by all parties reaching an agreement.

The aforementioned memorandum between ENEA S.A., ENERGA S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. was executed on 28 December 2018. Pursuant to the memorandum, the Investment Agreement of 8 December 2016 together with an annex of 26 March 2018 was terminated.

The memorandum specifies new rules for cooperation, including the Project's financing structure, where ENEA S.A. pledges financial involvement at the Construction Stage of PLN 1 billion, ENERGA S.A. pledges at least PLN 1 billion, on top of the funds already invested. Moreover, the memorandum sees other investors becoming involved as necessary to cover the Project's financial expenditures.

The parties to the memorandum intend to:

  • agree on the form, schedule and conditions for a financial investment by a financial investor and/or other investors;
  • execute a new investment agreement;
  • agree on rules for the company to secure credit facilities from borrowers necessary to complete the Construction Stage so that ENEA S.A. and ENERGA S.A. do not breach financial covenants.

The memorandum included a condition for ENEA S.A. to approve issue of the NTP for the general contractor.

On 28 December 2018 an Extraordinary General Meeting of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. agreed to issue a notice to proceed to the general contractor - consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. (consortium leader) and ALSTOM Power Systems S.A.S.

Given the issue of the NTP for the general contractor and taking into account the fact that in accordance with the memorandum the second advance tranche will be covered in equal parts by ENEA S.A. and Energa S.A. - in order to pay the second advance tranche to the contractor, an Extraordinary General Meeting of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. on 4 January 2019 adopted a resolution to increase the company's share capital by PLN 361 382 thousand.

13.2. Re-capitalisationofPolskaGrupaGórniczaS.A.

In connection with a process to seek out equity investors by Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A., in July 2016 ENEA S.A. began talks with potential investors concerning implementation of a potential investment and its parameters. On 28 October 2016, ENEA S.A. signed a letter of intent with Węglokoks S.A. and Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. (Investors), expressing preliminary interest in a financial investment in Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A. or KHW's assets.

With Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. (PGG) being interested in acquiring selected assets from Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A. and given that a re-capitalisation process had begun at PGG, ENEA S.A. and PGG's other shareholders analysed a business plan presented by PGG and expressed interest in an equity investment in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. On 30 March 2017 ENEA S.A.'s Supervisory Board allowed the Company to invest in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. and acquire new PGG shares with nominal value of PLN 300 million in exchange for a PLN 300 million cash contribution.

On 31 March 2017, the Company executed:

  • an investment agreement setting out the conditions for a financial investment in PGG (Investment Agreement),
  • a memorandum between the Investors concerning exercise of joint control over PGG (Annex 1 to the Memorandum concerning Polska Grupa Górnicza).

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Investment Agreement

The parties to the Investment Agreement are as follows: ENEA S.A., ENERGA Kogeneracja Sp. z o.o., PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A., PGNiG TERMIKA S.A., Węglokoks S.A., Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o., Fundusz Inwestycji Polskich Przedsiębiorstw Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych (Investors) and PGG. Under the Investment Agreement, PGG were to purchase selected mining assets from Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A. pursuant to a preliminary agreement, which was signed on 1 April 2017.

The Investment Agreement determines the way in which the investment is to be carried out and the manner in which the Company will invest in PGG, along with operational rules for PGG and its corporate bodies as well as rules for the parties' exit from the PGG investment.

As part of the PGG re-capitalisation, ENEA S.A. committed to purchasing new PGG shares with total nominal value of PLN 300 million in exchange for a PLN 300 million cash contribution in three stages:

  • a) in the first stage, the Company purchased new PGG shares with nominal value of PLN 150 million in exchange for a PLN 150 million cash contribution. After this purchase, the Company held a 4.39% stake in PGG. The first re-capitalisation took place in April 2017.
  • b) in the second stage, the Company purchased new PGG shares with nominal value of PLN 60 million in exchange for a PLN 60 million cash contribution. After this purchase, the Company held a 5.81% stake in PGG. The second re-capitalisation took place in June 2017.
  • c) in the third stage, the Company purchased, in a private subscription, PGG's series B shares with nominal value of PLN 90 million in exchange for a PLN 90 million cash contribution. ENEA S.A. increased its stake in PGG's share capital to 7.66%. The third re-capitalisation took place in January 2018.

The agreement sets out rules for appointing Supervisory Board members, pursuant to which each of the Investors and the State Treasury will be entitled to appoint one member to the Supervisory Board, which will consist of no more than eight persons.

The investment is in line with ENEA Group's Development Strategy, one element of which involves securing a raw material base for conventional power generation.

As a result of Polska Grupa Górnicza Sp. z o.o. being transformed into a joint-stock company (spółka akcyjna) and a change in rules preparing financial statements, i.e. adoption by Polska Grupa Górnicza Sp. z o.o. of IFRS, Annex 1 to the Investment Agreement of 31 March 2017 entered into force on 31 August 2018, taking into account the aforementioned changes, among other things.

On 30 September 2013, LWB's Supervisory Board adopted a resolution on the Management Options Programme Rules for 2013-2017. The resolution was adopted pursuant to resolution 26 of the company's ordinary general meeting of 4 July 2013 on the issue of 1 360 540 registered subscription warrants series A, with pre-emptive rights excluded, a conditional share capital increase for LWB by an amount of no more than PLN 6 802 700 through the issue of no more than 1 360 540 ordinary bearer shares series D, with a nominal value of PLN 5 each, with pre-emptive rights excluded. The programme was valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model as at the award date at PLN 23 657 thousand. The valuation model used a number of assumptions:

  • the options award date (valuation date) was 30 September 2013 for each of the tranches,
  • the present price used for calculations was the forecast share price of Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. as at 30 September 2013,
  • the options' life was calculated using a maturity in the middle of the range set by the first and last potential option exercise date,
  • a risk free rate equal to the half-yearly average of weekly prices of 5-year treasury bonds was used,
  • share price volatility was calculated on the basis of annual rates of return on Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. in continuous quoting over a 4-year listing period of the Parent,
  • a zero rate of dividend was applied due to the Programme's provisions, according to which the dividend paid out by Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. will be reduced by the option exercise price.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

As at 31 December 2018, the number of options awarded throughout the Programme was 1 143 863, and the entire value of the Management Options Programme was PLN 3 839 thousand (PLN 3 839 thousand as at 31 December 2017). Within this pool, the number of rights (for 2013-2014) to exercise the above options was 335 199.

The programme's total cost recognised as 'retained earnings' as at 31 December 2018 was PLN 3 839 thousand (PLN 3 839 thousand as at 31 December 2017). In the third quarter of 2018, agreements were executed between the company and all of the Programme's beneficiaries (persons who might potentially be awarded options) based on which contracts concerning participation in the programme were terminated. Each beneficiary received PLN 1 in compensation. Execution of these agreements marks the end of the Management Options Programme.

An irrevocable proposal to purchase the remaining stake in ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. expired in 2018. Given this, the Group does not recognise in these consolidated financial statements a PLN 27 101 thousand liability corresponding to other capital.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

ENEA S.A. executes bond issue programme agreements in order to issue bonds to finance the on-going operations and investment needs of ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries.

On 17 July 2018 ENEA S.A. and BGK executed Annex 1 to the Programme Agreement of 3 November 2015 concerning a Bond Issue Programme of up to PLN 700 000 thousand. Pursuant to the annex, the programme's availability period was changed from 1 March 2018 to 31 December 2018. On 12 December 2018 ENEA S.A. as part of the aforementioned Programme Agreement issued bonds worth PLN 550 000 thousand. In the reporting period ended 31 December 2018 ENEA S.A. did not execute new financing agreements.

Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. – as at 31 December 2018, the company did not have financial liabilities related to bonds. The previous balance resulting from the Programme Agreement executed by the company on 23 September 2013 with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. was fully settled. Under the Agreement, 3000 bonds with par value of PLN 300 000 thousand were issued, with a buy-back deadline of 31 December 2018. On 30 March 2018 LWB bought back 750 bonds worth PLN 100 thousand each and PLN 75 000 thousand in total. Another 750 bonds worth PLN 75 000 thousand in total were bought back on 2 July 2018. Another 750 bonds worth PLN 75 000 thousand in total were bought back on 1 October 2018. The last 750 bonds with par value of PLN 75 000 thousand were bought back on 31 December 2018.

Interestrate swaps

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2018 ENEA S.A. did not execute interest rate swaps. The total bond and credit exposure hedged with IRS transactions as at 31 December 2018 amounted to PLN 5 315 000 thousand. Moreover, ENEA has fixed-rate credit agreements totalling PLN 245 000 thousand. These transactions have material impact on the predictability of expense flows and finance costs. The Company presents the measurement of these instruments in the item "Financial liabilities at fair value"/"Financial assets at fair value." Derivative instruments are treated as cash flow hedges, which is why they are recognised and accounted for using hedge accounting rules.

As at 31 December 2018, the measurement of IRS - "Financial liabilities at fair value" - was PLN 22 176 thousand (as at 31 December 2017 "Financial assets at fair value" PLN 29 553 thousand).

Transactions hedging FX risk

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2018 ENEA S.A. executed FX forward transactions for a total volume of EUR 696 thousand. The settlement date for the last transaction was in December 2018, hence measurement at 31 December 2018 was PLN 0 (PLN 0 at 31 December 2017).

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Financing terms - covenants

Financing agreements require the Company and ENEA Group to maintain certain financial ratios. As at 31 December 2018 and the date on which these consolidated financial statements were prepared and in the course of 2018 the Group did not breach any credit agreement provisions such as would require early re-payment of long-term debt.

29. Financial instruments

29.1. Financialriskmanagementrules

The Group's activities are 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 on the Group's exposure to each of the aforementioned types of risk and describes the objectives and policies with regard to managing risk and capital.

The Parent's Management Board is responsible for setting out the risk management framework and rules.

Managing financial risk at the Group is based on a formalised and integrated risk management process, described in dedicated risk management policies, procedures and methodologies.

Risk management is designed as a continuous process. The Group continuously analyses risk in terms of external environmental impact and changes in its structures and activities. Based on this, it takes actions that are intended to limit risk or transfer it outside of the Group.

29.2. Creditrisk

Credit risk is risk associated with the Group incurring financial losses as a result of a client or counterparty that is a party to a financial instrument failing to meet its contract liabilities.

Credit risk is associated with a potential inability to collect receivables from counterparties. The key factors having impact on credit risk in the Group's case are as follows:

  • a large number of clients, which has an impact on the operational complexity of the risk mitigation process (assessment of counterparties' credit-worthiness) and the high cost of controlling the in-flow and recovery of receivables, or
  • legal conditions for doing business, which specify rules for shutting down electricity supplies as a result of non-payment or the obligation to connect entities to ENEA Operator's relevant distribution area, as well as the reserve seller or ex-officio seller functions.

The Management Board implements a credit risk management policy, pursuant to which exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis and activities intended to minimise it are undertaken. The key tool for managing credit risk is analysis of the credit-worthiness of the Group's most important counterparties, pursuant to which contractual terms with the counterparties are appropriately structured (payment terms, potential collateral, etc.).

In line with internal regulations - the issue of receivables being concentrated in relation to the Group's end customers is also subject to monitoring. The size of the Group's sales portfolio means that despite the fact that there are entities

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

within the portfolio with relatively large consumption, the share of a single entity does not exceed 5% of the entire portfolio's volume, therefore the level of concentration is not seen as significant. In light of the above, the Group does not use additional collateral relating solely to concentration. The use of collateral is dependent each time on the counterparty's financial standing.

Failure to perform an obligation is understood as the occurrence of at least one of the following events or circumstances:

  • debtor is more than 90 days late on a significant payment;
  • The Group considers is as unlikely that the debtor will pay off its debt entirely (without taking into account amounts received from collateral or similar actions);

Events that indicate a low likelihood of the obligation being performed include: submission of bankruptcy application by the debtor, instigation of arrangement proceedings for the debtor - as well as other events not directly resulting from legal actions, such as lack of cash or negative forecasts regarding the debtor's payment situation. Meeting one of the aforementioned criteria provides grounds for identifying impairment on the given financial asset due to credit risk.

The following table shows a structure of financial assets depicting the Group's exposure to credit risk:

At the Group, credit risk relating to receivables is different in various market segments in which the Group operates:

electricity sales to retail clients and distribution services - there is a significant number of past-due receivables in this segment. Although these do not constitute a significant threat to the Group's finances, activities aimed at reducing this are undertaken. Activities intended to streamline the debt recovery process are successively being undertaken and consist of new and updated instructions

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

and rules for debt recovery as well as cooperation with specialised entities. Debt collection begins 20-25 days after the payment deadline. Introducing harmonised debt collection rules, including soft debt recovery, makes it possible to shorten the cash recovery time and avoid long-term and often ineffective hard debt recovery, i.e. court enforcement. Cases that exceed a debt recovery limit are referred for court and enforcement proceedings;

  • electricity sales to business, key and strategic clients and distribution services the amounts of overdue receivables in this segment are lower than in the case of retail clients. Given the above and due to a much smaller number of clients in these segments, debt collection rules are largely based on soft collection. Soft debt collection activities are undertaken no later than six working days after the payment deadline and generally do not last longer than 30 working days after the payment deadline,
  • other receivables the amounts of over-due receivables are negligible in comparison with the previous two segments.

The key role in the debt recovery process is played by the Debt Collection Department personnel. These are people who monitor the debt collection process and try to recover over-due debts through contacts with the clients. ENEA also cooperates in this area with specialised external entities, which support the Group in hard debt collection activities. The Group monitors on an on-going basis the level of over-due receivables, recognises impairment losses and in justified cases raises legal claims.

As regards receivables from financial institutions, including cash deposited in bank accounts and deposits, as well as currency risk and interest risk hedging transactions, the security for such transactions is defined in "ENEA Group's liquidity and liquidity risk management policy" as well as in "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest risk management policy." ENEA only cooperates with partners meeting strict credit-worthiness criteria and having an established position on the banking market.

In accordance with the aforementioned policies and the "ENEA Group's credit risk management policy", if a transaction partner has a rating issued by a reputable agency, the Group does not estimate an internal rating for this entity. In selecting banking counterparties, the Group analyses external credit ratings, which override all other criteria for evaluating the security of investments and settlements, and these values must be at investment grade.

As regards financial investments, in order to limit concentration risk, diversification rules for invested cash are applied.

In accordance with the aforementioned "ENEA Group's liquidity and liquidity risk management policy," it is assumed that the maximum permissible level of fund allocation to one transaction partner is 35% of the Group's total funds allocated as investments with maturities over 3 months. Moreover, allocating excess cash of companies within the cash pooling structure is generally carried out by the parent company, which serves as Pool Leader in the cash pooling mechanism. Companies require ENEA S.A.'s approval to investment free cash on their own.

As regards managing current excess cash and as regards currency risk and interest risk hedging instruments, the Group works with six financial institutions on a day-to-day basis.

The Group diversifies credit risk concerning cash. As at 31 December 2018, cash was allocated at three banks as follows: bank A 32.5%, bank B 25.4%, bank C 14%.

ENEA S.A.'s Risk Management Department carries out evaluations of significant long-term receivables and debt securities (including intra-group bonds and loans) as well as financial guarantees and liabilities concerning loans, and conducts monitoring of significant credit risk and determines impairment for expected credit losses. In pursuing this objective, the Department's personnel performs individual assessments of each counterparties or specific instruments, using external credit ratings and, in the absence thereof, using a system of internal credit ratings based on Altman's model for emerging markets and elements of qualitative-forecasting assessment.

The Group identifies deterioration in credit risk if:

  • counterparty is more than 30 days late on a significant payment;
  • at the balance sheet date, a move down by at least two levels was identified in the case of non-investmentgrade (as compared to the initial recognition of the given instrument), or
  • at the balance sheet date, a move down by one level was identified in the case of junk grade (as compared to initial recognition of the given instrument) or a move from non-investment grade to junk grade.

Items assigned to investment grade for which no arrears on significant payments occurred for longer than 30 days are treated as items with low credit risk (the counterparty has high short-term ability to meet its obligations as regards contractual cash flows, and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the long term might - but do not have to - impair its ability to satisfy these obligations).

The above-mentioned aspects of non-current receivables are regulated by the Group's "Methodology for determining expected credit losses for non-current debt assets and similar items."

29.3. Financialliquidityrisk

Financial liquidity risk is perceived as the risk of ENEA Group having no ability to meet its payment obligations upon maturity.

The aim of the Group's activities in managing liquidity and liquidity risk is to reduce the likelihood of losing the ability to meet its obligations. Implementing activities within the liquidity and liquidity risk management policy includes ensuring the ability to effectively respond to liquidity crises, i.e. periods of substantial demand for cash.

The adopted business policy ensures the availability of cash at a level allowing meeting obligations in the course of activities on an on-going basis. These activities at the same time allow for uninterrupted continuation of activities in liquidity crises for a period that is necessary to launch emergency financing plans, aiming to supplement any funding shortages.

In managing liquidity, the Group focuses on a detailed analysis of cash flows, receivables and payables turnover and the monitoring of bank account balances. In order to ensure an appropriate level of security in unforeseeable situations, the Group also performs scenario analyses and develops solutions ensuring that liquidity risk is maintained at an acceptable level. The Group allocated excess funds to current assets in the form of fixed-term deposits. In order to ensure the stability of financing sources, the Group diversified its external financing sources. With a view toward limiting concentration risk, investments of excess cash are diversified. Investment performance is monitored on an on-going basis.

ENEA S.A. oversees activities between Group companies as regards liquidity and liquidity risk management. In order to ensure financing for on-going operations and to optimise the liquidity management process, companies that are part of the ENEA tax group use a cash pooling mechanism. The Group is also ramping up its intra-group bond issue programmes, thanks to which the effectiveness of using cash within the Group is increasing.

Continuous risk management in the aforementioned areas and the Group's market and financial position show that financial liquidity risk is at a minimal level.

The Group manages liquidity risk also by maintaining open and unused credit lines, which amounted to PLN 550 000 thousand as at 31 December 2018.

29.4. Commodityrisk

Commodity risk is related to changes in the Group's revenue/cash flows occurring especially as a result of changes in commodity prices as well as changes in demand for the products/services offered by ENEA. The objective of commodity risk management is to maintain exposure to this risk at an acceptable level, set by limits, while optimising the return on trading activities.

A specific aspect of the Group's commodity risk is the fact that by acting as an energy enterprise operating as exofficio seller the Group is required to submit electricity price tariffs for approval for the tariff group G. The Group purchases energy at market prices, while its tariff is calculated on the basis of costs deemed by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) as justified and taking into account margins (in trade) planned for the next tariff period. In connection with the above, the Group in the tariff period has a limited ability to transfer adverse changes in costs onto the end recipients of electricity. The Group may file an application to the URE President to amend the tariff only in the event of a major increase in costs for reasons outside of its control.

Commodity risk management as regards prices consists of continuous monitoring of the size of open trading position (both in terms of hedging the retail sales volume as well as in proprietary trading) and measuring - using tools based on the value at risk concept - the level of risk resulting from possible changes in electricity price in relation to such an open position. The way to reduce risk in this case is to close a position that generates a potential loss that is higher than acceptable.

The management model in this case is based on a VaR limit system, which specifies the maximum allowed size of open position that carries the commodity (price) risk.

Managing commodity risk in volumetric terms consists of using the scenario method and optimising trading planning and controlling processes that allow to most accurately estimate the expected volumes of electricity and associated commodities that are the subject of trade.

Moreover, regardless of the above, ENEA uses management rules specified in the Group's strategic regulations (wholesale trade mode), setting out methods for optimising ENEA's trading position, with the main aim to minimise the risk of taking action that is against market trends, while taking into account the effectiveness aspect of such actions (outperforming the market).

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Currency risk is associated with potential changes in the Group's cash flows as a result of volatility in currencies in which these amounts are denominated.

ENEA Group is especially exposed to currency risk resulting from the need to purchase CO2 emission allowances, certain investment expenditures and contracts for provision of services by counterparties, the prices/costs of which are denominated in EUR.

Currency risk is mainly hedged using currency forwards. The aim of hedging currency risk is to ensure a specific value in PLN of future flows and especially expenditures - incurred in connection with purchases of CO2 emission allowances or investment works.

Hedging is performed on the basis of "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy."

In order to secure maximum effectiveness of hedging, FX forwards are executed for periods and amounts that correspond to currency exposure. This results in an economic link between the underlying items and the hedging derivatives. With a close link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the main source of ineffectiveness of such links is improper performance of contracts by counterparties or adjustment of payment deadlines through annexes to contracts with counterparties.

In accordance with the aforementioned 'ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy,' hedging is each time based on a hedging strategy dedicated to the specific exposure and approved by the Risk Committee.

In accordance with its rules, the Group hedges all of its currency exposure that it considers as material, i.e. which exceeds the exposure limit, which is set by the Risk Committee at the equivalent of EUR 600 thousand in reference to a single Group company.

Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. executes certain transactions in foreign currencies. There is foreign exchange risk in connection with this. LWB is mainly exposed to changes in EURPLN and USDPLN exchange rates. No significant currency transactions were executed in 2018. Such transactions were executed in previous years in connection with purchases of specialised equipment and machinery, although the company expects that such transactions might take place in the near future given the need to modernise its machine park.

LWB manages exchange risk in accordance with approved rules using FX forwards. LWB uses cash flow hedges. The aim of LWB's hedging activities against EURPLN and USDPLN exchange rate risk is to ensure a specific level in PLN of future expenditures in EUR and USD such as are incurred in connection with investment works, and to ensure a specific level of future inflows in USD such as will be received in connection with sales.

29.6. Interestrate risk

Interest rate risk is related to credit agreements and bond issue programme agreements. Financing is arranged on the basis of variable interest, calculated in correlation with market rates (interbank).

Given the Group's financing arrangement model, interest rate risk is identified and managed (quantified, mitigated) by the Parent. Interest rate hedging is performed on the basis of "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy."

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

In accordance with the aforementioned policy, given the specific nature of interest rate exposure, it is only possible, for hedging purposes, to specify exposure to interest rate risk on the basis of the liability part in planned cash flows, without taking into account the value of financial investments (which due to their nature feature far lower stability than financial liabilities) - although this concerns non-current financial liabilities rather than current.

In accordance with the interest rate hedging strategy, adopted pursuant to "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest risk management policy," the Company reduces interest rate risk by executing interest rate swaps (IRS). In order to obtain the most effective hedging, interest periods, interest exchange dates, dates for setting the variable reference rate WIBOR, basis for calculating interest - are the same as conditions for the hedged transaction. This results in an economic link between the specific payments of external financing and the hedging derivatives. With a close link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the main source of ineffectiveness of such links is improper performance of contracts by counterparties or earlier settlement of the hedged item.

Just as in the case of currency risk, all hedging activities are performed on the basis of a dedicated hedging strategy, adopted by the Parent's Risk Committee and Management Board.

As at the reporting date, 31 December 2018, the Group had credit and bond liabilities of PLN 8 329 846 thousand. The aforementioned debt has been hedged in 63.8% using IRSs.

The following table shows the Group's sensitivity to changes in interest rates by presenting financial assets and liabilities by variable-rate and fixed-rate:

29.7. Managementoffinancingsources

The Group's main assumption as regards managing its financing sources is to develop an optimal equity and liabilities structure in order to reduce the cost to finance its operations, secure an investment grade credit rating and financing sources for the operating and investing activities of the Group and its subsidiaries. Activities undertaken in this area intend to ensure the Group's financial security and satisfactory value for its shareholders. In optimising the equity and liabilities structure by using financial leverage, it is important to maintain a capital base at a level sufficient to develop the trust of investors, lenders and the market. The Group monitors the effectiveness and stability of its capital using the debt ratio and return on capital ratios. The Group aims to increase capital effectiveness while retaining it at a safe level. The Group describes the above-mentioned indicators in the Management Board Report on ENEA S.A.'s and ENEA Group's Activities in 2018.

Financial assets at fair value include:

interests in unrelated entities, the stake in which is below 20%. This item includes shares in PGE EJ1 Sp. z o.o. amounting to PLN 15 866 thousand, for which no price quoted on an active market is available

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

and whose fair value was determined on the basis of ENEA S.A.'s stake in the net assets of PGE EJ1 Sp. z o.o. Having analysed IFRS 9, the Group decided to qualify these interests as financial assets through other comprehensive income. The result of this measurement as at 31 December 2018 was recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the statement of financial position under the item: Revaluation reserve - measurement of financial instruments. No transactions executed in 2018 were recognised in profit or loss. If interests in unrelated entities are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, then their fair value is based on quoted prices,

  • Polimex-Mostostal S.A. call options,
  • derivative instruments that include the measurement of interest rate swaps. The fair value of derivative instruments is established by calculating the net present value based on two yield curves, i.e. a curve to determine discount factors and a curve used to estimate future variable reference rates,
  • forward contracts for the purchase of electricity and gas and property rights.

Non-current debt financial assets at amortised cost cover loans maturing in over one year. Current debt financial assets at amortised cost cover loans maturing in less than one year. The item 'other short-term investments' includes deposits with maturity over 3 months.

The fair value of bank credit, loans and debt securities is calculated for financial instruments that are based on a fixed rate of interest, based on current WIBOR.

The following table contains an analysis of financial instruments at fair value, grouped into a three-level hierarchy, where:

Level 1 - fair value is based on (unadjusted) market prices quoted foridentical assets or liabilities on active markets,

Level 2 - fair value is determined on the basis of values observed on the market, which are not a direct market quote (e.g. they are established by direct orindirect reference to similar instruments on a market),

Level 3 - fair value is determined using various measurement techniques that are not, however, based on observable market data.

The Group recognises its stake in PGE EJ1 at level 3 (note 51).

No transfers between the levels were made in 2018.

ENEA S.A. executed IRS transactions to hedge cash flows against interest rate risk. Their nominal value was PLN 4 844 040 thousand.

Pursuant to an agreement between staff representatives and the Group's representatives, the Group's employees are entitled to certain benefits other than remuneration for work, i.e.:

  • longevity bonus payments,
  • pension benefit payments,
  • right to discounts in purchasing electricity,
  • contributions to Company Social Benefit Fund (ZFŚS)

If an employee dies in the course of work or while on disability pension following employment, the family is entitled to a death allowance from the employer.

The above benefits are financed entirely by the Group.

The present value of future liabilities concerning these items is set on the basis of actuarial valuation. For calculation purposes, basic data was used for each Group employee individually, as at 31 December 2018 (taking the employee's gender into account), from the following areas:

  • age
  • employment at the Group,
  • overall employment
  • remuneration, constituting the basis for the size of longevity bonus and retirement severance payment.

The following assumptions were also used in the analysis:

  • the employee's likelihood of departure was calculated using historic data on the Group's staff turnover and statistical data regarding employee departures in the industry,
  • the minimum wage in Poland in effect from 1 January 2019, amounting to PLN 2 250.00,
  • based on announcements from by the head of Statistics Poland, average monthly remuneration in Poland, less contributions for retirement, disability and health insurance, amounting to PLN 3 278.14 (average for H2 2013, which constitutes basis for calculating the Company Social Benefit Fund contribution in 2019),
  • growth in the base for calculating the Company Social Benefit Fund was assumed to equal growth in average monthly remuneration in Poland: 30.9% in 2020, 5.4% in 2021, 5.4% in 2022, 5.4% in 2023, 5.6% in 2024-2028, 5.5% in 2029 and 5.2% in the remaining forecast years. In the case of change in base for 2020, growth of 5.8% in average monthly remuneration in Poland in 2019 was used. The remaining growth in base in 2020 results from a complete un-freeze of the base for calculating the Company Social Benefit Fund from 2020, as assumed in the risk valuation. (as at 31 December 2017: 27.56% in 2019, 6.0% in 2020, 5.2% in 2021, 5.4% in 2022, 5.6% in 2023-2029, 5.2% in the remaining years of the forecast),
  • mortality and life expectancy rates were taken from Life Expectancy Tables 2017, published by Statistics Poland; it was assumed that the Group's staff corresponds to the average for Poland in terms of mortality,
  • no provision for disability severance payments was calculated separately; in exchange, people who went on disability were not included in calculating the likelihood of employee departure,
  • normal retirement mode was assumed, in accordance with detailed rules in the Act on Retirements, except those employees who according to information provided by the Group meet the conditions for exercising the right to early retirement,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • long-term annual pay growth rate of 2.5% (as at 31 December 2017: 2.0% in 2018, 2.2% in 2019, 2.5% in subsequent years),
  • discount rate for discounting future benefit payments at 3.22% (3.26% at 31 December 2017),
  • the value of electricity subsidies in 2019 was assumed to be PLN 1 412.76 (PLN 1 407.37 at 31 December 2017),
  • growth in the value of electricity subsidy paid out as discount for electricity was set at 0.6% in 2019, 2.4% in 2020, 6.4% in 2021, 6.5% in 2022, 6.6% in 2023, 6.7% in 2024, 6.8% in 2025, 6.9% in 2026 and 2.5% in subsequent years (as at 31 December 2017: 0.2% in 2018, 1.8% in 2019, 0.6% in 2020, 4.7% in 2021- 2025, 4.8% in 2026, 2.5% in subsequent years).

The projected unit credit method was used to determine the size of the employee benefit provision. This method was also used in sensitivity analyses for defined benefit plans.

The notes presented on pages 11-142 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 88

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Provisions for liabilities are measured at justified, reliably estimated values. Specific provisions are established for losses related to court cases against the Group. The amount of the provision constitutes the most accurate estimate of funds necessary to satisfy the claim. The cost to create provisions is recognised in other operating costs. A description of significant claims and the associated conditional liabilities is presented in notes 50.3, 50.5, 50.6, 50.7 and 50.8.

Provisions for liabilities and other charges mainly include:

Provision for non-contractual use of land

Provision for claims from property owners for non-contractual use of land.

The provision for non-contractual use of land is estimated using the stages and weights approach, i.e. the likelihood of losing the dispute and the necessity to satisfy the claim. The size of awarded compensation for non-contractual use of land might be significant for the Group given the number of properties in question however the Group is unable to estimate the maximum compensation amount. ENEA Group, in connection with establishing transmission corridors, has estimated and taken into account in the provision also compensation for non-contractual use of land on which its grid assets (power lines) are situated such as were not subject to any claims as of the reporting date. There is a high uncertainty around when this provision will be used.

Provision for other claims

This item includes provisions for claims that are unrelated to the non-contractual use of land. It is not possible to estimate the deadline for outflow of economic benefits on account of the rest of the provisions.

In 2018, ENEA S.A. created a PLN 18 610 thousand provision for potential claims related to the termination by ENEA S.A. of agreements to purchase energy origin certificates for renewables, and the value of this provision as at 31 December 2018 was PLN 104 345 thousand (detailed information in note 50.8).

Provision forlandfill site reclamation

After filling or closing a slag and ash landfill site, the Group is required to rehabilitate the land. Given the fact that the Group has large unfilled landfill sites, it is expected that the rehabilitation obligation will arise in 2060. Future estimated costs of landfill rehabilitation were discounted to present value using a 3.22% discount rate (3.26% as at 31 December 2017).

The provision as at 31 December 2018 amounted to PLN 66 119 thousand (as at 31 December 2017: PLN 59 712 thousand),

Provision for CO2 emission allowance purchases

The provision for CO2 emission allowance purchases as at 31 December 2018 amounted to PLN 557 713 thousand (as at 31 December 2017: PLN 487 359 thousand). This provision will be used in 2019.

The Group mainly classifies revenue by type of product/service. The key revenue groups are revenue from the sale of electricity (ENEA S.A., ENEA Wytwarzanie, ENEA Trading and ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec) and revenue from the sale of distribution services (ENEA Operator).

Sale of electricity: The Group recognises revenue when an obligation to provide a consideration by providing a promised good or service to the customer is performed (or is being performed). Revenue is recognised on the basis of prices specified in sale agreements, less estimated rebates and other deductions. The key groups of contracts include electricity sale contracts (including framework contracts) for retail, business, key and strategic customers. Under these contracts, service is provided in a continuous manner and the level of revenue depends on usage. Sales to the clearing-house Izba Rozliczeniowa Giełd Towarowych S.A. and the TGE power exchange also take place.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The standard payment deadline for invoices for the sale of electricity at ENEA S.A. is 14 days from VAT invoice date. In the case of business, key and strategic customers, payment deadlines may be negotiated.

Payment deadlines for invoices concerning electricity sales to the clearing-house IRGiT are 1-3 days from delivery and invoice issue. For sales to TGE, payment deadlines are governed by TGE's regulations.

Sale of distribution services: In the case of distribution services sales, ENEA Operator charges a fee that contains separate components: grid fee (variable component), quality fee, grid fee (fixed component), instalment fee, transition fee and renewables fee.

In the case of the quality fee, transition fee and renewables fee, ENEA Operator serves, as a rule, as entity collecting fees and providing this consideration to other market participants, e.g. to Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. (PSE). These fees (quality fee, transition fee, renewables fee) constitute quasi-taxes collected on behalf of other entities. ENEA Operator acts as agent collecting fees for other energy market participants, including PSE. In consequence, revenue from the sale of distribution services is decreased by the amount of renewables fee, quality fee and transition fee collected. Costs related to the procurement of transmission services and costs related to invoices for renewables support and support for producers are subject to adjustment.

Presented below is revenue from sales, divided into categories that reflect how economic factors influence the amount, payment deadline and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.

50.1. Impact ofthe Act on amendment ofthe act on excise duty and certain other acts

The Act on amendment of the act on excise duty and certain other acts ("Act") was adopted on 28 December 2018 and enters into force on 1 January 2019.

This regulation introduced the following:

  • a reduction in the excise duty rate for electricity sold to final customers from 20 PLN/MWh to 5 PLN/MWh,
  • 2019 prices and fee rates for electricity for final customers to be applied by sellers at the level of prices used in 2018,
  • the opportunity for sellers to seek an amount to cover the difference in revenue from trade of electricity for final customers from the Settlement Manager specified in the Act ("Price difference amount").

The Act was updated effective from 6 March 2019 ("Updated Act").

According to the Act and its justification, the lawmakers aim to balance the interests of electricity customers and energy companies, which should mean that, as a rule, revenue lost as a result of the price decrease should be returned to electricity sellers.

The Act delegates in several key areas to regulations which as of the date on which these financial statements were prepared was not published yet.

Determining the amount of provision for onerous contracts as at 31 December 2018

Due to the Act, the Group has analysed whether it is required to create provisions for onerous contracts under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. According to reporting regulations, if a given contract or group of contracts generate a loss, then the company should recognise an appropriate provision in the period in which the loss becomes unavoidable unless it is unable to reliably determine the amount of this provision.

Taking into account the lack of implementing regulations, preventing the final effects of entry into force of the Act and amendment in prices for customers in 2019 other than tariff customers from being reliably determined, the Group has estimate the Act's financial effects in as far as this is possible and reliable. The following assumptions were used in estimating the amount of the necessary provision:

  • 1) The existing legal framework as at 31 December 2018.
  • 2) In reference to determining the cost to perform an obligation in the meaning of IAS 37, only direct costs were taken into account (costs to purchase energy, property rights along with the current excise duty rate) while indirect costs (own costs and profit) were omitted. The issue of which costs should be taken into account in estimating a provision for onerous contracts was deliberated on by the IFRIC in 2017. The IFRIC noted that the issue is not conclusively regulated, and the solution adopted is subject to the reporting entity's judgement.
  • 3) Market values were used to determine the costs to purchase energy, without taking into account the fact that energy production costs within the Group might be different than market costs. Electricity sales volumes were adopted based on estimated values for 2019 for the G segment, in values close to those from

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  1. In 2018, households (most of them using the tariff G) constituted 22% of the Group's total sales volume, while business customers accounted for the remaining 78% of total sales volume.

The following was determined on the basis of the above assumptions:

  • (a) In determining the prices in effect in 2018 for G tariff clients in a tariff approved by the URE President, the Group estimated an excess of the minimum unavoidable costs to fulfil the obligation over the benefits from performing the contract, amounting to PLN 79 million. The loss results from adopting model costs for electricity purchases in 2019 (costs of electricity and property rights and excise duty rates resulting from the Act) and the simultaneous use of sales prices from 2018. The sales volume resulted from the sales volume for G tariff customers planned for 2019. The Group recognised a provision on the books for 2018 for the aforementioned amount.
  • (b) Adhering to the literal provisions of the Act and using prices from the price list (not taking into account commercial rebates and discounts) in effect on 30 June 2018 for other clients (i.e. business clients and clients using tariffs other than tariff G), estimated benefits from contract performance were determined and compared to the minimum unavoidable costs to perform these contracts. This analysis did not show an excess of such costs over benefits and thus no provision was recognised. The Updated Act, issued after 31 December 2018, clarifies that for these customers the price that should be used is the sales price in effect in their contracts on 30 June 2018, which will cause a reduction in revenue from the sale of electricity, resulting in an excess of costs over revenue from existing contracts.
  • (c) Given the uncertainty over how the amount of price difference is to be determined, no assets concerning compensation were recognised as at 31 December 2018

Impact on subsequent reporting periods

As a result of this Act entering into force, the Group uses from 1 January 2019 in settlements with final customers electricity prices and fees from 2018, as specified in a tariff approved by the URE President for customers from tariff groups G. The provision estimated and recognised as at 31 December 2018 constitutes the best estimate of minimal losses but it does not take into account the right to compensation, which should have a positive impact on the sales result in this tariff group.

For other customers (mainly business customers), the Group in 2019 applies prices resulting from contracts due to a lack of an approved regulation of the Minister of Energy. The Group expects to adapt to the Act and the Updated Act within the deadlines specified in these regulations. The Group estimates that for this client group a unit reduction in revenue will be determined by the difference between unit prices of electricity, which is reflected in the difference of average prices for BASE 2018 and BASE 2019 on the electricity wholesale market and changes in market prices and percentage levels as regards the obligation to procure origin certificates for redemption (hereinafter "Obligations"). Revenue from the sale of electricity in 2018 to business customers reached PLN 3 568 million, with sales volume in this segment reaching 15 974 GWh, resulting in an average unit sales price of 223.36 PLN/MWh.

The cost of electricity in the most liquid product, i.e. BASE Y, quoted on the power exchange Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. for 2019 (BASE Y-19) during the product's quoting period, is 237.11 PLN/MWh. The price for the 2018 contract, i.e. BASE Y-18, was 167 PLN/MWh.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The difference in the market valuation of the Obligations, which aside from the cost to purchase electricity are the total of sales price to final customers, are very close year over year despite a significant change in their structure. In effect, the overall cost for 2018 was 189.21 PLN/MWh, and for 2019 it is estimated at 258.49 PLN/MWh.

The Group sees no reasons to significantly differentiate its own costs and margins for the same customer structure between 2018 and 2019.

Based on the above-mentioned available information, indicative values for input parameters, as referred to in the Updated Act, might be assumed. However, there is considerable uncertainty over whether these will be at the same or similar level in the implementing regulations.

Under the Act and the Updated Act, the Group is entitled to receive compensation resulting from a restriction in prices, taking into account both direct and indirect costs and margins; this applies to both amounts recognised in the provision for loss in 2018 as well as potential losses that may arise in 2019. However, given the lack of implementing regulations, as at the date on which these financial statements are prepared the Group is unable to determine the amount of compensation or state to what degree this will offset the potential losses.

The Group discloses known and determinable amounts that constitute merely a component of the result on energy sales in order to show the potential difference between costs and revenue from sales. A difference calculated on the basis of these amounts may significantly differ from actual amounts, which will be recognised once the implementing regulations are issued.

The Group is analysing these provisions on an on-going basis and once the implementing regulations are published along with assumptions allowing uncertainty to be removed and reliable estimates to be carried out, it will identify the analysis results in terms of inside information in the meaning of MAR.

The value of other guarantees issued by the Group as at 31 December 2018 was PLN 7 793 thousand (PLN 3 640 thousand as at 31 December 2017).

50.3. Proceedings in progress before courts of general competence

Proceedings initiated by the Group

Proceedings in courts of general competence initiated by ENEA S.A. and ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. concern receivables related to electricity supplies (electricity cases) and receivables related to other matters - illegal uptake of electricity, grid connections and other specialised services (non-electricity cases).

Proceedings in courts of general competences initiated by ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. mainly concern compensation for damages and contractual penalties from the company's counterparties.

At 31 December 2018, a total of 9 735 cases initiated by the Group were in progress before courts of general competence, worth in aggregate PLN 160 617 thousand (31 December 2017: 16 176 cases worth PLN 219 335 thousand).

The outcome of individual cases is not significant from the viewpoint of the Group's financial result.

Proceedings against the Group

Proceedings against the Group are initiated by both natural persons and legal entities. They concern issues such as: compensation for electricity supply disruptions, illegal uptake of electricity and compensation for the Group's use of properties on which power equipment is located. The Group considers cases related to non-contractual use of properties that are not owned by the Group as especially significant (note 50.6).

There are also claims concerning terminated agreements for the purchase of property rights (note 50.8).

Court proceedings against ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. concern compensation for damages and contractual penalties.

At 31 December 2018, a total of 2 249 cases against the Group were in progress before courts of general competence, worth in aggregate PLN 796 154 thousand (31 December 2017: 2 431 cases worth PLN 680 828 thousand). Provisions related to these court cases are presented in note 34.

50.4. Arbitration proceedings

A proceeding initiated by Mostostal Warszawa S.A. and Acciona Infraestructuras S.A. against Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. was conducted before the Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw under file no. SA 64/15.

This arbitration proceeding was initiated on the basis of a demand for arbitration submitted by the Consortium on 7 April 2015. The Consortium's claim is approx. PLN 16.2 million (this claim includes the amount of a bank guarantee that was allegedly unduly exercised by LWB, interest and costs that the Consortium incurred in connection with LWB using the guarantee).

On 29 September 2017, the Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw ruled to reject the Consortium's claim against LWB in its entirety. This ruling ended proceedings at the Court of Arbitration. In October

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

2017, LWB filed a motion with the Court of Appeals in Lublin to acknowledge the arbitration ruling. At the same time, at the end of November 2017 the Consortium filed a motion with the Court of Arbitration to rescind its ruling. On 20 September 2016, LWB initiated a proceeding against the Consortium before the District Court in Lublin to establish (negatively) a lack of requirement for LWB to satisfy the Consortium's claims resulting from a contract to expand its mechanical coal processing facility. At the end of the year, the parties mutually requested that the Court refers them for mediation and agreed on a mediator. After mediation, on 29 March 2018 the parties signed a settlement that conclusively resolved all disputes between LWB and the Consortium. The settlement outcome ultimately proved to be positive for LWB.

50.5. Other court proceedings

A proceeding involving LWB is in progress at the District Court in Lublin with regard to claims by the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) concerning accident contributions and the appropriateness of re-classifying workplace accidents and rescinding a penalty imposed on the company as a result of an inspection by ZUS's Lublin office. In order to cover potential claims in this regard, LWB has established a provision amounting to PLN 22 658 thousand. An appeal hearing took place on 21 November 2017, during which the Court of Appeals in Lublin examined ZUS's appeal of a ruling issued on 7 February 2017. The Court of Appeals ruled to reject ZUS's appeal. This ruling is not final as of this moment. On 15 January 2018 the Court of Appeals drafted a justification for its ruling. On 12 March 2018 a cassation appeal from ZUS was received by the Court of Appeals in Lublin. The appropriateness of accepting the appeal for examination by the Supreme Court will be examined at the beginning of 2019 at the earliest. If the Supreme Court rules to accept the cassation appeal, LWB's Management Board believes that this dispute will not be resolved sooner than the end of 2019.

According to LWB's Management Board, given the complex nature of the case, there is a significant risk of an outflow of economic benefits until the final ruling is issued.

On 18 January 2018 ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. received a lawsuit dated 28 December 2017, which had been filed with the District Court in Białystok by the Municipality of Białystok against ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., for the payment of PLN 29 445 thousand together with statutory interest for the sale of 126 083 shares of Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej Sp. z o.o., based in Białystok (currently ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o.), constituting a residual stake, as part of an obligation arising under an agreement to sell ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. shares executed on 26 May 2014. On 23 February 2018 ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. responded to the lawsuit, disagreeing with the position presented in it and requesting that the lawsuit be rejected in its entirety.

The dispute concerns interpretation of a provision in the share sale agreement of 2014 regarding whether or not ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. is obligated to purchase the remaining shares, i.e. residual stake. According to ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., the company has fulfilled all of its obligations specified in the share sale agreement of 2014 as regards the purchase of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. shares and is not required to additionally purchase the 121 863 shares.

If the dispute is resolved unfavourably for ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., the company might be required to purchase up to 126 083 shares at a price resulting from the agreement of 26 May 2014, i.e. for the overall amount indicated in the lawsuit. On 14 August 2018 the District Court in Białystok (first instance) ruled in favour of the lawsuit brought by the Municipality of Białystok in its entirety. This ruling is not final. On 10 September 2018 ENEA Wytwarzanie

(all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Sp. z o.o. appealed the ruling. The case was registered under file no. I A Gc 169/18 at the Appeals Court in Białystok. The first hearing at the Appeals Court was set for 21 December 2018. Due to an unexamined motion to exclude judges from the Appeals Court in Białystok, through a decision of 18 December 2018 the case was removed from the docket. Files were provided to the judges indicated in the motion to exclude in order to provide explanations concerning the motion to exclude. On 8 January 2019 the Appeals Court in Białystok referred the motion to exclude judges to the Supreme Court. The motion has not yet been registered and examined by the Supreme Court.

On 29 June 2018 the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) initiated an administrative proceeding regarding submission to the URE President of applications for issue of origin certificates for years 2010-2018. No provision was created for this matter in these consolidated financial statements.

The Management Board of ENEA S.A. filed in December 2018 a response to a lawsuit brought by the Company's shareholder, Fundacja "CLIENTEARTH Prawnicy dla ziemi," based in Warsaw, to cancel, determine the non-existence or repeal resolution no. 3 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. of 24 September 2018 regarding directional approval to join the Construction Stage of the Ostrołęka C project, and demanded that the lawsuit be rejected in its entirety as unjustified, along with reimbursement of court representation costs. The hearing has been scheduled for 10 April 2019.

The Management Board of ENEA S.A. filed in December 2018 a response to a lawsuit brought by Międzyzakładowy Związek Zawodowy Synergia Pracowników Grupy Kapitałowej ENEA, based in Poznań, to cancel, determine the nonexistence or repeal resolution no. 3 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. of 24 September 2018 regarding directional approval to join the Construction Stage of the Ostrołęka C project, and demanded that the lawsuit be rejected in its entirety as unjustified, along with reimbursement of court representation costs. The hearing has been scheduled for 8 May 2019.

50.6. Riskassociatedwithlegal statusof properties usedbyENEAS.A.

Risk associated with the legal status of properties used by the Group results from the fact that the Group does not have a legal title to use land for all of its facilities where its transmission grids and the associated equipment are located. In the future, the Group might be obligated to incur the costs of non-contractual use of property.

Rulings in these cases are significant because they have a considerable impact on the Group's approach to people raising pre-trial claims concerning equipment located on their properties in the past as well as the way in which the legal status of such equipment is addressed in the case of new investments.

The loss of assets in this case is highly unlikely. Having an unclear legal status for properties where power equipment is located does not constitute a risk for the Group of losing such assets, rather it gives rise to the threat of additional costs related to demands for compensation for the non-contractual use of land, rent, costs related to transmission easements and, exceptionally, in individual cases, demands related to a change in the object's location (return of land to original condition). The Group recognises adequate provisions.

The provision also applies to compensation for the non-contractual use by the Group of properties on which the Group's grid assets (power lines) are located, in connection with transmission corridors or transmission easements being established for the Group.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

As at 31 December 2018 the Group had a provision for claims concerning non-contractual use of land amounting to PLN 182 738 thousand.

50.7. Cases concerning2012non-balancing

On 30 and 31 December 2014, ENEA S.A. submitted demands for settlement to:

Demanded amount
in PLN 000s
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
Total 27 594

The subject of these demands is claims for the payment for electricity that was incorrectly settled on the balancing market in 2012. The companies receiving these demands obtained unjustified proceeds by not allowing ENEA S.A. to issue invoices for 2012.

Given a lack of amicable resolution in this case, ENEA S.A. has brought lawsuits against:

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

The aforementioned disputes have not been resolved.

50.8. Dispute concerning prices for origin certificates for energy from renewable sources and terminated agreements forthe purchase of property rights arising under origin certificates for energy from renewable sources

ENEA S.A. is a party to 9 court proceedings concerning agreements for the purchase of property rights arising under certificates of origin for energy from renewable sources, which includes:

  • 6 proceedings for payment, in which ENEA S.A.'s former counterparties are seeking compensation for outstanding pay or contractual penalties,
  • 3 proceedings for the voidance of ENEA S.A.'s termination or withdrawal from agreements to sell property rights, which took place on 28 October 2016, including 2 proceedings in which claims for payment are being sought at the same time.

ENEA S.A. offset a part of receivables due for these counterparties from ENEA S.A. for sold property rights with damages-related receivables due for ENEA S.A. from renewables producers. The damage caused to ENEA S.A. arose as a result of the counterparties' failure to fulfil a contractual obligation to participate, in good faith, in renegotiating long-term agreements for the sale of property rights in accordance with an adaptation clause that is binding for the parties.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

On 28 October 2016, ENEA S.A. submitted statements depending on the agreement: on termination or withdrawal from long-term agreements for the purchase by the Company of property rights resulting from certificates of origin for energy from renewable sources (green certificates) (Agreements).

The Agreements were executed in 2006-2014 with the following counterparties, which own renewable generation assets ("Counterparties"):

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

As a rule, the Agreements were terminated by the end of November 2016. The dates on which the respective Agreements were terminated depended on contractual provisions.

The reason for terminating/withdrawing from the Agreements by the Company was the fact that it was no longer possible to restore contractual balance and the equivalence of the parties' considerations, caused by changes in laws.

Legal changes that occurred after the aforementioned Agreements were executed include in particular:

  • ordinance of the Minister of Economy of 18 October 2012 on a detailed scope of obligations to obtain and present for redemption origin certificates, pay substitute fees, purchase electricity and industrial heat generated from renewable sources and the obligation to validate data concerning the quantity of electricity generated from renewable sources (Polish Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1229);
  • the Act on renewable energy sources of 20 February 2015 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2015, item 478) and associated further legal changes and announced drafts of legal changes, including especially:
    • the Act on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts dated 22 June 2016 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2016, item 925); and
    • a draft of the Ordinance of the Minister of Energy concerning changes in the share of electricity resulting from redeemed origin certificates confirming production of electricity from renewable sources, which is to be issued based on an authorisation under art. 12 sec. 5 of the Act on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts dated 22 June 2016 and certain other acts,

caused an objective lack of possibilities to develop reliable models to forecast the prices of green certificates.

The Agreements were terminated with the intention for the Company to avoid losses constituting the difference between contractual and market prices of green certificates. Due to the changing legal conditions after termination of the Agreements in 2017, especially arising from the Act of 20 July 2017 on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources, the estimated value of future contract liabilities would have changed.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

In the current legal framework, this would be grossly lower in comparison to the amount estimated when the Agreements were being terminated, i.e. approx. PLN 1 187 million. This decline reflects a change in the way in which the substitute fee is calculated, which in accordance with the content of some of the Agreements constitutes the basis for calculating the contract price and indexing it to the market price.

The Company created a PLN 104 345 thousand provision for potential claims resulting from the terminated Agreements in relation to submissions made by 31 December 2018 concerning transactions to sell property rights by the counterparties; the provision is presented in note 34.

51. Participation in nuclear power plant build programme

On 15 April 2015 KGHM, PGE, TAURON and ENEA executed an agreement to purchase shares in PGE EJ 1. KGHM, TAURON and ENEA purchased 10% stakes in PGE EJ 1 each from PGE (30% in total). ENEA paid PLN 16 million for its stake.

In accordance with the Founding Agreement, ENEA S.A.'s financial investment in the Preliminary Stage will not exceed approx. PLN 107 million.

One increase of PGE EJ 1's share capital took place in 2018. The shareholders decided to increase the company's share capital by approx. PLN 60 million. ENEA S.A. purchased shares with total nominal value of approx. PLN 6 million and paid for them with an approx. PLN 6 million cash contribution. Aside from the above share capital increase, in order to provide PGE EJ 1 with funds for on-going operations, the shareholders made a loan to the company. ENEA S.A.'s loan amounted to PLN 4.8 million. So far, ENEA S.A.'s overall expenditures on purchasing shares and increasing the company's share capital have amounted to PLN 32 544 thousand.

On 28 November 2018 PGE S.A. expressed preliminary interest in purchasing all of the shares of PGE EJ 1. PGE S.A. aims to restructure the company's operations and costs and integrate its operations within PGE Group. According to information from PGE S.A., this transaction would be possible after an independent adviser prepares a valuation and corporate approvals are secured by all of the entities involved. On 4 December 2018, ENEA expressed preliminary interest in selling its entire stake in PGE EJ 1. Preliminary interest in selling stakes in PGE EJ 1 has also been expressed by the other shareholders, i.e. TAURON and KGHM.

As at 31 December 2018 and at the date on which these financial statements were prepared, ENEA S.A. held 263 020 shares in the capital of PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o., with a total nominal value of approx. PLN 37 086 thousand, representing 10% of shares/votes.

52. Agreementto purchase Eco-Power Sp. z o.o.

Fen Wind Farm B.V., based in Amsterdam, and Wento Holdings S.a.r.l., based in Luxembourg, ("Claimants") initiated a lawsuit against Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. concerning the execution of an agreement to sell shares of Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. to Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. for a price that includes a base amount, which is PLN 286 500 000.00. ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. sees no grounds for this lawsuit and in its response (and a further preparatory letter of 7 January 2017) motioned to dismiss the lawsuit in its entirety and to recover the costs of the proceeding from the Claimants. Based on an estimate of the value of Eco-Power Sp. z o.o. shares, the Group created a PLN 129 million provision - its value depending on the difference between the price that includes the base amount, which is PLN 286 500 000.00 and the value estimated using ENEA S.A.'s model.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The first hearing took place on 10 April 2017 and subsequent hearings were held on 15 and 29 May, 20, 22 and 24 November 2017 and 5 January, 18 May and 7 September 2018. In the hearings, the Court questioned most of the witnesses called up.

53. Reorganisation of companies in district heating area

As part of this project, ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. was divided by transferring the CHP plant Białystok to Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o., while ENEA S.A. purchased shares of Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and Enea Ciepło Serwis Sp. z o.o. from ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o.

Given the above, on 26 October 2018, an Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. adopted a resolution to divide ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. by de-merging and transferring selected assets to ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and a resolution on approval for a share capital increase and amendment of the articles of association of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o.

On the same day, an Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. also adopted a resolution to divided ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. by de-merging and transferring selected assets to ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and on approval for amendment of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o.'s articles of association, as well as a resolution on approval for sale by ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. of shares in ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o., based in Białystok, and ENEA Ciepło Serwis Sp. z o.o., based in Białystok, to ENEA S.A., based in Poznań.

On 26 October 2018, agreements to sell shares of Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and Enea Ciepło Serwis Sp. z o.o. were executed between ENEA S.A. and ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., with conditions precedent. The aforementioned conditions precedent were met on 5 November 2018.

On 30 November 2018, the division of ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. was registered in Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o.'s entry at the National Court Register (transfer of CHP plant Białystok to ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o.) as was the acquisition of the divided assets by Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o., along with an associated capital increase at ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and entry of ENEA S.A. as the owner of newly-created shares of Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o., created as a result of the share capital increase.

Taking into account the shares of Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o. acquired from Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. on 5 November 2018 pursuant to a sale agreement of 26 October 2018 and the newly-created shares issued to ENEA S.A. in connection with the share capital increase at Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o., ENEA S.A. currently holds a 95.77% stake in Enea Ciepło Sp. z o.o.'s share capital.

At the same time, from 5 November 2018 ENEA S.A. is a 100% owner of ENEA Ciepło Serwis Sp. z o.o.

54. Events afterthe balance sheet date

On 4 January 2019 an Extraordinary General Meeting of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. adopted a resolution to increase the company's share capital by PLN 361 382 thousand. This amount, in accordance with the Agreement of 28 December 2018 between ENEA S.A., Energa S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o., was used to finance the second advance instalment for the General Contractor in connection with the NTP being issued on 28 December 2018.

ENEA S.A. purchased 3 613 821 shares in capital, with a nominal value of PLN 180 691 thousand, transferring a cash contribution to the SPV's bank account on 4 January 2019. The share capital increase was registered at the National Court Register on 1 March 2019.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

On 7 January 2019 ENEA S.A., Energa S.A. and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. (PGE) began talks that might lead to PGE's involvement in the Elektrownia Ostrołęka C project, which is currently being implemented by ENEA S.A. and Energa S.A.

A draft regulation of the Minister of Energy concerning the means of calculating the price difference amount and the means for determining reference prices, the final content of which will be known once it is published, was submitted for public consultations on 14 March 2019. The Group is currently analysis this document.

55. Description of significant accounting rules

Described below are the key accounting rules used in preparing these consolidated financial statements. There rules were applied to all of the presented periods in a continuous manner, except accounting rules resulting from IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which entered into force on 1 January 2018.

55.1. Basis forpreparation

The consolidated separate financial statements for the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 are prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union ("EU IFRS").

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on an historic cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value.

55.2. Consolidationrules

(a) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is a company under the control of another company. The definition of control results directly from IFRS 10. An investor controls a company in which it has invested if and only if the investor has all of the following elements:

  • a) power over the investee,
  • b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee,
  • c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control over them is obtained by the Group. They are deconsolidated on the date control ceases.

As regards acquisitions of companies that are not under joint control, the cost of the acquisition is determined as the fair value of acquired assets, issued equity instruments and liabilities incurred or assumed as at the exchange date. Identifiable acquired assets and liabilities and conditional liabilities from a merger are initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, regardless of the size of non-controlling interests.

The Group measures non-controlling interests proportionately to its share of the fair value of acquired net assets. In subsequent periods, the value of non-controlling interests covers the initially recognised value adjusted by changes in the subsidiary's equity in proportion to the stake held. Comprehensive income is allocated to noncontrolling interests even if this creates a negative value for these interests. Goodwill is determined in accordance with the accounting policy (note 55.7(a)).

In the case of a negative value, the Group reviews the fair values of each component of acquired net assets. If as

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

a result of such a review the value continues to be negative, it is immediately recognised in the present period profit or loss.

Transactions, settlements and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also subject to elimination unless the transaction provides evidence for impairment of the given asset. The accounting rules applied by subsidiaries were adjusted wherever necessary to ensure compliance with the Group's accounting rules.

(b) Associates and jointly controlled entities

Associates are all entities in respect of which the Group exerts significant influence but does not have control, which typically means holding 20-50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and initially recognised at cost. The excess of purchase price over fair value of an associate's identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date is recognised as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the investment's balance sheet value, while goodwill impairment is measured for the entire value of the investment. Any excess of the Group's stake in the fair value of identifiable net assets, liabilities and conditional liabilities over the acquisition cost after revaluation is immediately recognised in current-period profit or loss.

Jointly controlled entities are all entities in respect of which the Group exercises, through contractual arrangements, control jointly with other entities. Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method identically as investments in associates.

The Group's share of the financial results of associates and/or jointly controlled entities from the acquisition date is recognised in current-period profit or loss, while its share in changes in other comprehensive income generated from the acquisition date - in other comprehensive income. The balance sheet value of an investment is adjusted by total changes in equity from the acquisition date. If the Group's share of the losses of an associate or a jointly controlled entity is equal to or greater than the Group's stake in this associate or jointly controlled entity, including any potential unsecured receivables, the Group ceases to recognise further losses, unless it assumed the given associate's or jointly controlled entity's obligations or made a payment on its behalf.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates or jointly controlled entities are eliminated proportionately to the Group's stake in associates or jointly controlled entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides provides evidence of impairment for the given asset. The accounting rules applied by associates or jointly controlled entities are adjusted as necessary to ensure consistency with the Group's accounting rules.

55.3. Mergers andacquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions of entities that are not under joint control are accounted for using the equity method, as described in point 55.2(a).

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

55.4. Transactions inforeigncurrencies andmeasurementofforeign-currencypositions

(a) Functional currency and presentation currency

Items in the financial statements of individual Group entities are measured in the main currency of the economic setting in which the entity operates (in the functional currency). Consolidated financial statements are presented in PLN, which is the functional and presentation currency for all of the Group's entities. Items in financial statements are rounded to full thousands of zlotys (PLN 000s), unless otherwise stated.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions expressed in foreign currencies are translated at initial recognition into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid on the transaction date.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency cash items are translated using the closing exchange rate (closing rate is the average exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland for the measurement day).

Gains and losses on exchange differences arising from settlement of transactions in foreign currencies and balance sheet measurement of foreign currency cash assets and liabilities are recognised in the gain or loss for the period, while gains and losses on exchange differences as regards interest concerning tangible assets under construction are recognised as expenditures on tangible assets under construction.

55.5. Property,plantandequipment

Property, plant and equipment items are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Subsequent expenditures are included in the book value of a given tangible asset or are recognised as a separate asset (wherever appropriate) only if it is likely that this item will bring economic benefits to the Group and the item's cost can be reliably measured. All other expenses on repairs and maintenance are recognised as profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

If a part of a tangible asset is replaced, the cost of the replaced part is recognised in its balance sheet value, at the same time the balance sheet value of the replaced part is removed from the statement of financial position, regardless of whether it was separately depreciated and it is recognised in the current-period profit or loss.

Mine closure costs initially recognised in the value of tangible assets are subject to depreciation using the same method as the tangible assets they concern, starting from the moment a given tangible asset is put into service, over a period specified in the closure plan for a group of facilities within the expected mine closure schedule.

Land is not subject to depreciation. Other tangible assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis throughout the period of use or using the natural method based on the longwall length (in the case of operational excavations). The base for calculating depreciation constitutes the initial value less final value, if significant. Each significant part of a property, plant and equipment item with a different period of use is depreciated separately.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Use periods for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

buildings and structures 10 – 80 years
including power grids 33 years
structures (operational excavations) natural method depreciation using longwall length
technical equipment and machinery 2 – 50 years
means of transport 3 – 30 years
other property, plant and equipment 3 – 25 years

The end values and periods of use of property, plant and equipment are verified at least once a year. Each change of depreciation period requires agreement and necessitates an adjustment to the depreciation charges in subsequent financial years.

At each balance sheet date ending a financial year, impairment assessments are carried out in compliance with IAS 36. If grounds for impairment are identified, impairment tests are carried out in compliance with IAS 36.

Depreciation begins when an asset is available for use. Depreciation ends when a component of assets is made available for sale or derecognised from the statement of financial position.

Within its activities, the Group receives tangible assets for free, which are initially measured at fair value. The Group recognises these as property, plant and equipment and their value (connections, removal of obstacles) is recognised by the Group on a one-off basis in other operating revenue when it is received (except for the receipt of lighting infrastructure in exchange for services - in which case they are accounted for over time).

Gains and losses on disposing property, plant and equipment, which constitute a difference between the proceeds from sale and the balance sheet value of the item being sold, are recognised in current-period profit or loss.

55.6. Rightto perpetualusufruct ofland

Land constituting the property of the State Treasury, local government units or their associations may be used pursuant to perpetual usufruct. Perpetual usufruct is a specific property right entitling to: use of property, excluding other persons or management of this item (right).

Depending on the means of purchasing such rights, the Group classifies them as follows:

    1. Right to perpetual usufruct of land obtained legally for free through a decision of voivodship marshal or local government - this is treated at operational leasing.
    1. Right to perpetual usufruct of land obtained from third persons for a fee this is recognised as assets under right to perpetual usufruct of land, at purchase price less depreciation.
    1. Right to perpetual usufruct of land obtained under an agreement on transfer of land for perpetual usufruct, executed with the State Treasury or local government units - this is defined as excess of the first payment over annual payment and is classified as an asset under rights to perpetual usufruct of land and is depreciated.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Depreciation of a right to perpetual usufruct of land takes place over the period for which it was granted (from 40 to 99 years).

55.7 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition results from an excess, on the acquisition date, of the sum of payments, noncontrolling interests and the fair value of previously held interests in the acquired entities over the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and conditional liabilities of the acquired entity as at the acquisition date.

In the case of a negative value, the Group reviews the fair values of each component of acquired net assets. If as a result of such a review the value continues to be negative, it is immediately recognised in the present period profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the Group's specific cash generating units that should receive the synergy benefits from the merger. The cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated are tested for impairment once a year or more frequently, if it can be reliably expected that impairment has occurred. If the recoverable value of a cash generating unit is smaller than its balance sheet value, an impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the balance sheet value of the goodwill allocated to this cash generating unit and subsequently to this unit's other assets proportionately to the balance sheet value of specific assets in this unit. An impairment loss on goodwill is irreversible.

(b) Geological information

Purchased geological information is recognised in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, in an amount resulting from the agreement executed with the Ministry of the Environment. This is not subject to amortisation until a mining concession is received. Subsequently, capitalised costs are amortised throughout the term of the mining concession.

(c) Fees

Fees for mining usufruct for hard coal mining areas within the "Bogdanka" deposit are capitalised in the amount of such fees. Capitalised costs are amortised throughout the expected period of mining usufruct (note 46).

(d) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include: computer software, licences and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using the following estimated period of use:

  • for licences and computer software 2 10 years,
  • for working station licences and software and anti-virus software 2 10 years,
  • for geological information over the mining concession period (note 46),
  • for other intangible assets 2 40 years.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Each year, the Group verifies the correctness of periods of use for intangible assets. Each change of amortisation period requires agreement and necessitates an adjustment to the amortisation charges in subsequent financial years.

At each balance sheet date ending a financial year, impairment assessments are carried out for intangible assets. If grounds for impairment are identified, impairment tests are carried out in compliance with IAS 36.

55.8. Costs ofR&Dwork

The costs ofresearch works are recognised in profit orloss in the period in which they are incurred.

The costs of development works that meet the capitalisation criteria described below, like intangible assets, are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using estimated period of use between 2 and 7 years.

Capitalisation criteria:

  • the technical capability to complete the intangible asset so that it is fit for use or sale,
  • intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,
  • ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
  • the way in which this intangible asset will produce future economic benefits. The economic entity should provide the existence of a market for products that are created using the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself or - if the asset is to be used by the entity - the usefulness of this intangible asset,
  • the availability of appropriate technical, financial and other means intended to complete the development works and use or sell the intangible asset,
  • the ability to reliably determine expenditures on development works that can be attributed to the intangible asset.

55.9. Externalfinancingcosts

The costs of external financing that can be directly attributed, i.e. costs that could be avoided if an expenditure to purchase, build or manufacture an asset was not incurred, are capitalised as part of the purchase price or cost to manufacture such an asset. Other external financing costs are recognised as a cost in the period in which they are incurred.

The capitalisation of external financing costs begins at the later of the two dates: commencement of investment or commencement of financing. Capitalisation ends when all substantial works are completed.

55.10. Leases

A lease contract in which generally all of the risk and benefits are for the Group is classified as a finance lease. Leases other than finance leases are considered as operating leases.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The object of a finance lease is recognised in assets on the date at which the lease starts at the lower of the following two amounts: fair value of the leased object or the present minimum lease payments. Under financial leases, each payment is divided into an amount that decreases the liability and an amount of finance costs so as to maintain a fixed interest rate for the outstanding part of the liability. The interest component of a lease payment is recognised as finance costs in the current-period profit or loss throughout the lease term so that a fixed interest rate is maintained for each period for the outstanding portion of the liability. Assets purchased under finance leasing that are subject to depreciation are depreciated throughout their period of use.

Lease payments under operating leases (after subtracting any potential promotional deals received from the lessor) are recognised as costs on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.

55.11. Impairmentofassets

Assets that are subject to depreciation are analysed in terms of impairment whenever indications of impairment are identified.

Non-financial assets

An impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the asset's balance sheet value exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value is determined as the higher of the following two amounts: fair value less cost to sell or usable value (i.e. estimated present value of future cash flows that are expected to be obtained from further use of the asset or cash generating unit). For impairment analysis purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest level where it is possible to identify separate cash flows (cash generating units). Cash generating units are never larger than operating segments.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses may be reversed in subsequent periods (except for goodwill) if events occur that justify a lack of or change in impairment.

Financial assets

Financial assets are analysed at the end of each reporting period in terms of expected credit losses and indications of impairment.

Individual financial instruments of significant value are assessed for impairment individually. Other financial assets are split into groups with similar credit risk.

Rules for recognising impairment losses on financial assets are described in detail in note 55.13.

55.12. Investmentproperties

Investment properties are maintained in order to generate income from rent, growth in value or both. The Group selected the purchase price model at initial recognition.

Investments in properties are amortised on a straight-line basis. Amortisation begins in the month following the month in which the investment in property is accepted for use. Estimated periods of use are as follows:

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Buildings 25 – 35 years

Income from renting investment properties is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis throughout the contract term.

55.13. Financialassets

Rules in effectfrom1 January 2018:

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
  • equity instruments through other comprehensive income,
  • financial assets at amortised cost,
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
  • a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include:
    • financial assets held for trading (including derivative instruments for which no hedging policy is designated),
    • financial assets voluntarily assigned to this category,
    • financial assets that do not meet the definition of basic lending arrangement, including equity instruments such as shares, except instruments designated as equity instruments measured through other comprehensive income,
    • financial assets that meet the definition of basic lending arrangement and are not held in accordance with a business model for the purpose of obtaining cash flows or in order to obtain cash flows and for sale.

Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or expected to be performed within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

b) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets that are held in accordance with a business model that aims to hold financial assets to generate contractual cash flows and whose contractual terms meet the criteria of basic lending arrangement.

c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held in accordance with a business model that aims to both receive contractual cash flows and sell financial assets as well as whose contractual terms meet the criteria of basic lending arrangement.

d) Equity instruments through other comprehensive income

Equity instruments through other comprehensive income include investments in equity instruments that are voluntarily and irreversibly classified as such at initial recognition. Equity instruments that meet the definition of held for trading and meet the criteria for mandatory payment recognised by the acquiring company in a business combination may not be subject to this classification.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset that is subject to classification for the purposes of fair value measurement.

Trade receivables without a financial component that are measured at transaction prices are an exception to this rule.

The fair value of financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is increased by transaction costs that may be directly assigned to the purchase/acquisition of these assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Restatement to fair value for assets in this category is recognised in profit or loss. If a given item is removed from accounts, the Company determines the profit or loss on the disposal and recognises it in the period's result.

Financial assets at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost on every balance sheet date.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the given financial asset is measured at initial recognition, decreased by repayment of principal and increased or decreased by accumulated depreciation, determined using the effective interest rate method, of any differences between the initial amount and the amount at maturity, and adjusted by any allowances for expected credit losses.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Interest charged on such items and allowances for expected credit losses are recognised in the period's result, while other restatements to fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income.

Equity instruments through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Restatements to fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income.

Rules in effect until 31December2017:

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

This classification is based on the criterion of purpose for purchasing the investment. Classification is performed at initial recognition and subsequently verified at each reporting date if required or permitted under IAS 39.

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

This category includes two sub-categories:

financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is assigned to this category if it was purchased mainly to be sold in the short term, constitutes a part of a portfolio of specified financial instruments managed together

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

and there is a likelihood that a gain will be made in the short term, or it is a derivative instrument that does not constitute a hedge,

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.

Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or expected to be performed within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, taking into account their market value, on every balance sheet date, without selling costs. Changes in the value of these financial instruments are recognised as gains or losses in finance income or finance costs. If a contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments, the entire contract may be classified in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

This does not apply to cases where the embedded derivative does not have a significant impact on contractual cash flows or where separating embedded instruments is explicitly advised.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets other than derivatives with payments that are defined or possible to define, unquoted on an active market. They typically arise when the Group expends cash, delivers goods or services directly to a debtor, without the intent to classify these receivables as held for trading.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets if their maturity does not exceed 12 months from the balance sheet date. Loans and receivables with maturities exceeding 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are recognised in the statement of financial position as trade and other receivables. Loans and receivables are recognised at amortised cost.

(c) Financial assets held to maturity

Financial assets held to maturity are financial assets other than derivatives with payments that are defined or possible to define and a fixed maturity, which the Group intends to and is able to hold to maturity, other than:

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

Financial assets held to maturity are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate approach.

If there is evidence of impairment of loans and receivables or investments held to maturity measured at amortised cost, the amount of impairment loss is determined as the difference between these assets' book value and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounting using the effective interest rate approach for these assets (i.e. effective interest rate calculated as at initial recognition for assets based on a fix rate of interest and effective interest rate determined at the most recent revaluation of assets based on a variable rate of interest). Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised if in subsequent periods the loss of value decreases and this decrease may be attributed to events taking place after the impairment loss is recognised.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

In the case of a reversal, the book value of financial assets may not exceed the amortised cost that would be determined had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

(d) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are financial instruments other than derivatives that are designated as "availablefor-sale" or are not classified in any other category. This category includes interests in unrelated entities. Availablefor-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets if the Group does not intend to sell the investment within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Transactions to purchase and sell financial assets are recognised on the transaction date - i.e. the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell a given asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs, except for investments assigned to the category 'measured at fair value through profit or loss,' which are initially recognised at fair value, without transaction costs.

Financial assets are removed from accounting books if the rights to obtain cash flows from them expire or are transferred and the Group transferred essentially all of the risk and benefits from their ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets at fair value through profit or loss after initial recognition are measured at fair value. Available-for-sale financial assets, if it is not possible to determine their fair value and they do not have a set maturity, are measured at the purchase price less impairment. Financial assets held to maturity are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate approach.

The effects of measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the profit or loss for the period in which they arise. The effects of measurement of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in components of other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and those gains or losses on exchange differences that arise for cash assets. When an available-for-sale asset is removed from the books, the overall gains or losses previously recognised as other comprehensive income are recognised in the present period's profit or loss.

The fair value of investments for which an active market exists results from their present purchase price. If there is no active market for financial assets (or if such securities are not quoted), the Group determines fair value using appropriate valuation techniques, which include the use of recent transactions on normal market terms, comparisons to other instruments that are essentially identical, analysis of discounted cash flows, options valuation models and other valuation techniques/models commonly used in the market, adapted to the issuer's specific situation.

If there are indications of impairment of unquoted equity instruments that are measured at the purchase price (due to a lack of opportunity to reliably determine fair value), the amount of impairment is determined as the difference between the asset's balance sheet value and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the present market rate of return for similar financial assets. Such impairment losses are irreversible.

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is objective proof that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

If such proof exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the overall losses recognised in equity - determined as the difference between the purchase price and actual fair value, less any impairment losses recognised previously in profit or loss - this is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are recognised

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

in profit or loss, and impairment losses concerning equity instruments are irreversible. A reversal of an impairment loss on debt financial instruments is recognised in profit or loss if in subsequent periods after recognition the fair value of such financial instruments increased as a result of events taking place after recognition.

55.14. Hedge accountingandderivativeinstruments

Rules in effectfrom1 January 2018:

Derivative instruments that are used by the Group in order to hedge against specific risk, related to changes in interest rates and exchange rates, are measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are recognised as assets if their value is positive and as liabilities if their value is negative.

The fair value of currency contracts is determined by reference to current forward rates for contracts with the same maturity or based on valuation by independent entities. The fair value of interest rate swaps may be determined based on valuation by independent entities. The fair value of other derivative instruments is determined based on market data or valuation by independent institutions specialised in this type of valuation.

For some or all of its exposure to a particular risk, the Group may apply hedge accounting if the hedging instrument and the hedged item that create a hedging relationship are in line with risk management objectives and the hedging strategy.

The Group defines hedging relationships concerning various types of risk as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Hedging a risk that concerns likely future obligations is treated as a cash flow hedge.

When a hedging relationship is established, the Group documents the relation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item as well as risk management objectives and the strategy for implementing various hedging transactions.

Derivatives that are hedging instruments are recognised by the Group in accordance with rules concerning fair value or cash flow hedges if all of the following conditions are met:

  • at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge,
  • the hedging relationship covers only qualified hedging instruments and qualified hedged items,
  • the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, consistently with the originally documented risk management strategy for that particular hedging relationship,
  • for cash flow hedges, a forecast transaction that is the subject of the hedge must be highly probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss,
  • the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured.

If the Group identifies an ineffectiveness of a hedge that goes beyond the risk management objective and the hedging relationship continues to implement the risk management strategy and risk management objectives, the Group rebalances the hedging relationship.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

The Group discontinues to prospectively apply hedge accounting rules if:

  • the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised,
  • the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting if the risk management strategy or risk management objectives change.

The Group does not discontinue a hedging relationship that:

  • continues to meet the risk management objectives based on which it had qualified for hedge accounting, and
  • continues to meet all of the other qualification criteria (after taking into account the re-balancing of the hedging relationship, if applicable).

If a fair value hedge is applied to an item other than equity instrument classified as an equity instrument through other comprehensive income, the Group:

  • recognises the gains or losses from the fair value restatement of a derivative hedge in profit or loss, and
  • adjusts the book value of the hedged item by the gains or losses related to the hedged item, resulting from the hedged risk, and recognises this in the current period's financial result.

If a fair value hedge is applied to an equity instrument classified as an equity instrument through other comprehensive income, the Group:

  • recognises the gains or losses from the fair value restatement of a derivative hedge in other comprehensive income, and
  • measures the equity instrument through other comprehensive income, recognising restatements in other comprehensive income.

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and which might affect profit or loss. A forecast transaction is a transaction that is not based on a concluded binding agreement (expected future transaction).

For cash flow hedges, the Group:

  • recognises the effective part of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the revaluation reserve,
  • recognises the gain or loss related to the ineffective part in the current period's financial result.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability, the related gains or losses that were recognised in the revaluation reserve are reclassified into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss. However, if the Group expects that all or a portion of an impairment loss recognised directly in equity will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it reclassifies into profit or loss the amount that is not expected to be recovered.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, or a forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, then the Group reclassifies the associated gains and losses that were recognised directly in the revaluation reserve into the initial purchase cost or another book value in assets or liabilities.

If the Group discontinues a cash flow hedge in accordance with the aforementioned criteria, the cumulative gain or loss on a hedging instrument recognised in the revaluation reserve remains in it until the hedging transaction is exercised. If the hedging transaction will not be exercised (or is not expected to be exercised), cumulative net profit recognised in the revaluation reserve is immediately reclassified into profit or loss.

Rules in effect until 31December2017:

Derivative instruments that are used by the Group in order to hedge against specific risk, related to changes in interest rates and exchange rates, are measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are recognised as assets if their value is positive and as liabilities if their value is negative.

The fair value of currency contracts is determined by reference to current forward rates for contracts with the same maturity or based on a valuation received from financial institutions. The fair value of interest rate swaps may be determined based on valuation by independent financial institutions.

For some of its hedged exposure, the Group applies hedge accounting.

The Group defines specific hedges of exchange differences, covering derivatives, embedded derivatives and other instruments as fair value or cash flow hedges. Hedging exchange risk concerning likely future obligations is treated as cash flow hedge.

When a hedging relationship is established, the Group documents the relation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item as well as risk management objectives and the strategy for implementing various hedging transactions.

Derivatives are recognised in accordance with rules concerning fair value or cash flow hedges if all of the following conditions are met:

  • at inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge,
  • the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, consistently with the originally documented risk management strategy for that particular hedging relationship,
  • for cash flow hedges, a forecast transaction that is the subject of the hedge must be highly probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss,
  • the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured,
  • the hedge is evaluated on an on-going basis and there is high effectiveness in all reporting periods for which the hedge was established.

For fair value hedge accounting, the Group:

recognises the gains or losses from the fair value restatement of a derivative hedge in profit or loss, and

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

adjusts the book value of the hedged item by the gains or losses related to the hedged item, resulting from the hedged risk, and recognises this in the current period's financial result (also in reference to available-for-sale financial assets, the valuation effects of which are recognised in the revaluation reserve).

The Group ceases to apply fair value hedge accounting if:

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

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and which might affect profit or loss. A planned transaction is a non-binding expected future transaction.

For cash flow hedges, the Group:

  • recognises the effective part of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the revaluation reserve,
  • recognises the gain or loss related to the ineffective part in the current period's financial result.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability, the related gains or losses that were recognised in the revaluation reserve are reclassified into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss. However, if the Group expects that all or a portion of an impairment loss recognised directly in equity will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it reclassifies into profit or loss the amount that is not expected to be recovered.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, or a forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, then the Group reclassifies the associated gains and losses that were recognised directly in the revaluation reserve into the initial purchase cost or another book value in assets or liabilities.

The Group ceases to apply cash flow hedging if the hedge instrument expires, is sold, completed or exercise or no longer meets hedge accounting criteria. In this situation, the cumulative gain or loss on a hedging instrument recognised in the revaluation reserve remains in it until the hedging transaction is exercised. If the hedging transaction will not be exercised, the cumulative net profit recognised in the revaluation reserve is immediately reclassified into profit or loss.

Moreover, the Group documents the effectiveness of how the hedging instrument offsets changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item both at inception of the relationship and in subsequent periods on an on-going basis.

55.15. CO2 emissionallowances

CO2 emission allowances purchase for trading purposes are recognised as assets in a separate item and initially

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

measured at purchase price and subsequently at each balance sheet date at purchase price or realisable net sales price, depending on which of these two amounts is lower.

CO2 emission allowances classified as commodities are inventoried using the FIFO method or the weighted average purchase price method.

CO2 emission allowances received for free under the National Allowance Allocation Plan and additional CO2 emission allowances purchased for redemption, i.e. to comply with the obligation to settle CO2 emissions, are recognised in a separate item of assets. Emission allowances received for free under the National Allowance Allocation Plan are recognised at zero value.

CO2 emission allowances received for free for a given financial year that are not allocated to the Group's allowance registry and the precise quantity of which is unknown are recognised if they meet the definition of assets. In this case, the Company's Management Board specifies the most reliable quantity of CO2 emissions that the Group would receive, which is then recognised in the statement of financial position at nominal value, i.e. zero. Recognition takes place at the date on which the planned quantity of CO2 emission allowances is approved. It is permissible to adjust the estimated quantity of CO2 emission allowances recognised in the registry as at the reporting date using more recent information received by the Group from personnel responsible for implementing investments notified to the National Investment Plan. Additional CO2 emission allowances purchased for redemption are recognised at purchase price less impairment.

A registry for CO2 emission allowances is maintained separately for each installation in the following groups of rights:

  • a. CER green
  • b. EUA free and purchased

The FIFO approach or the weighted average purchase price approach is applied to the above groups.

When CO2 emission allowances are actually granted, which were initially recognised based on an estimate, their number is prospectively adjusted in compliance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

If the actual number of CO2 emission allowances granted for a given reporting period is specified in the next reporting period, the difference (excess/shortage) between the estimate and the actual number of allowances for the given reporting period should be recognised as an adjustment of allowances granted for the next reporting period. Due to CO2 emissions, which accompany the electricity generation process, the Group is required to settle such emissions by presenting a specific quantity of CO2 emission allowances for redemption. The costs associates with meeting the aforementioned requirement are recognised in the accounts systematically throughout the annual reporting period, proportionately to the level of actual and planned electricity output.

The costs associated with compliance with the aforementioned obligation are recognised in the accounts systematically throughout the annual reporting period in the form of a provision. A provision under the cost

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

of primary activity is recognised for estimated CO2 emissions for each installation.

Redemption of allowances is recognised in allowance groups:

  • a. CER green
  • b. EUA free and purchased,

using the FIFO approach, i.e. 'first in, first out,' for each of the installations, or using the weighted average purchase price approach.

Revenue from sales and the value of sold CO2 emission allowances sold are recognised in operating revenue or costs, respectively.

The value of sold allowances is determined using the FIFO approach or the weighted average purchase price approach in each allowance group:

  • a. CER green
  • b. EUA free and purchased.

The exchange of allowances with different economic parameters (e.g. EUA/CER) is reflected as two transactions:

  • a. disposal (sale),
  • b. purchase.

Gains/(losses) on disposal (sale) are recognised as income or cost in profit or loss or in operating activities under the item 'Gain/(loss) on measurement of derivatives' in the case of companies for which trade of financial instruments constitutes the core activity.

If an exchange of allowances takes place without a cash settlement, the Group determines the gain or loss on the disposal of allowances as the difference between the initial value of newly acquired allowances (rights) and the book (accounting) value of the sold (transferred) allowances.

For every exchange contract, the Group assesses whether the acquired right is subject to IFRS requirements for financial instruments. If an acquired right is subject to financial instrument regulations (IFRS 9), then the initial value is determined on the basis of its fair (market) value at the contract date. If a right acquired by way of exchange is not subject to IFRS 9, then the initial value is determined on the basis of the fair (market) value of the transferred allowances.

55.16. Inventories

Components of inventory are measured at the purchase price, which includes the purchase price plus costs, especially the cost to transport it to storage or the cost to manufacture, not exceeding the net sales price less impairment of inventory.

Distribution of inventory is established as follows:

using the weighted average purchase price approach, or

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • using the detailed identification approach for actual prices (costs) of such assets that concern strictly defined undertakings, regardless of the date or purchase or manufacture, or
  • using the FIFO approach.

The Group's inventory includes energy origin certificates purchased for redemption, for further sale and those produced on its own.

Energy origin certificates are proof that energy was produced from a renewable energy source (energy from wind, water, sun, biomass - green certificates, energy from farming biogas - blue certificates) or energy produced in cogeneration (from three types of sources, i.e. gas sources or sources with less than 1 MW - yellow certificates, sources with over 1 MW other than gas fuel-, methane- and biogas-fired - red certificates, and sources using gas obtained from biomass processing or methane from mine purification - purple certificates). They are issued by the URE President at the request of an energy enterprise that produces energy from renewable sources and in cogeneration.

Energy efficiency certificates, i.e. white certificates, serve as confirmation for declared energy savings resulting from activities intended to improve energy efficiency in three areas: increase energy savings by end customers, increase energy savings for own purposes and reduce losses of electricity, heat or natural gas in transmission and distribution. The URE Presidents conducts tenders for white certificates in these categories. They are issued by the URE President at the request of the tender winner.

Property rights arising from energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates arise when energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates are entered into registers maintained by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. (TGA S.A.). These rights are disposable and constitute an exchange-traded commodity. These rights are transferred when an appropriate entry is made in the energy origin certificate register or energy efficiency certificate register. Property rights expire when they are redeemed.

Purchased origin certificates are measured at the purchase price, less any impairment.

Origin certificates for energy produced internally are recognised when such energy is produced (or as of the date on which award of such certificates became likely), unless there is justified uncertainty as to their award by the URE President. Origin certificates for energy produced internally are measured as follows:

  • in accordance with the rules for determining certificate sales prices resulting from contracts executed by the Company - this applies to certificates that are covered by contracts,
  • based on market quotes for certificates from the last day of the month in which the relevant energy volumes were generated - this applies to other certificates that are not covered by sales contracts executed by the Company,
  • in an amount resulting from the substitute fees for certificates that are not quoted on the market.

In a situation where the value of origin certificates recognised in records that are not covered by contracts is higher than the value determined using market prices as of the balance sheet date, the Group recognised an impairment loss on these certificates to their market value.

In accordance with the Energy Law and the Act on Energy Efficiency, an energy enterprise involved in trade of energy

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

and sales of energy to end customers is required to:

  • a) obtain energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates and submit them to the URE President for redemption or
  • b) pay substitute fees.

The Group is required to obtain and present for redemption the following:

  • a) energy origin certificates corresponding to the quantities specified in the Energy Law, as a percent of total energy sales to end customers,
  • b) energy efficiency certificates in quantities expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), no larger than 3% of division of the amount of revenue from electricity sales to end customers in a given year in which this obligation is performed by the unit substitute fee. The amount of revenue from electricity sales to end customers in a given settlement year is decreased by the amounts and costs referred to in art. 12 sec. 4 of the Act on Energy Efficiency. The size of the obligation in specific settlement years is specified in regulations to the Act on Energy Efficiency.

The deadlines for performing the obligation to redeem energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates or paying the substitute fees for each year are governed by the provisions of law in force.

The Group submits to the URE President energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates for redemption in monthly cycles in order to perform its obligation for the given year. In accounting books, redemptions of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates are recognised based on a decision from the URE President concerning redemption, using the detailed identification approach.

If at the balance sheet date there is an insufficient quantity of certificates required to perform the obligations imposed by the Energy Law and the Act on Energy Efficiency, the Group creates provisions for redemption of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates or payment of substitute fees.

55.17. Cashandcash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, on-demand bank deposits, other highly liquid short-term investments with initial maturity of up to three months. Cash on hand is measured at nominal value on every balance sheet date. Cash in bank accounts, on-demand bank deposits, other highly liquid short-term investments with initial maturity of up to three months are measured at amortised cost on each balance sheet date (at nominal/initial value plus interest accrued until the balance sheet date, adjusted by expected credit losses). Restricted cash, including cash serving as collateral for settlements with the clearing-house IRGiT, is included in cash and cash equivalents.

55.18. Trade and otherreceivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rates, less impairment. If there is no difference between the initial value and the amount (amounts) at maturity (maturities) (payment), interest charged using the effective rate does not apply.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Impairment of receivables is determined on the basis of expected credit losses. Expected credit losses take into account the counterparty's previous default events as well as potential estimated credit losses. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income at the end of each reporting period.

55.19. Costs relatedtothe conclusionofagreements

Costs related to the conclusion of agreements are costs incurred by the Group in order to conclude an agreement with a customer that would not have been incurred by the Group had the agreement not been concluded (including the costs of commissions for partners for concluding electricity sale agreements). Costs that would have been incurred regardless of agreement conclusion are recognised in results for the period in which they are incurred.

55.20. Assets andliabilities arisingfromcontractswithcustomers

In its statement of financial position, the Group recognises a contract asset that is the Group's right to remuneration in exchange for goods or services that the Group transfers to the customer.

An asset is recognised if the Group satisfies its obligation by transferring goods or services to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment deadline.

In its statement of financial position, the Group recognises contract liabilities that are an obligation for the Group to provide goods or services to customers in exchange for which the Group has received remuneration (or upon which the amount of remuneration depends) from customers.

If the customer paid the remuneration or the Group has the right to an unconditional amount of remuneration (i.e. a receivable), then prior to the transfer of goods or services to the customer the Group treats the contract as a contract liability when payment is made or becomes due (depending on which is sooner).

55.21. Share capital

The Group's share capital is the share capital of the parent entity, recognised in the amount specified and entered in the court register, adjusted appropriately by the effects of hyperinflation and accounting for the effects of divisions, mergers and acquisitions. A share capital increase that is paid up as of the end of the reporting period but is awaiting registration at the National Court Register is also presented as share capital.

55.22. Financialliabilities,includingcreditfacilities,loans anddebt securities

Rules in effectfrom1 January 2018:

Financial liabilities that include trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs.

Financial liabilities that include credit facilities, loans and debt securities are classified at initial recognition as:

  • financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
  • financial assets at amortised cost.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include:

  • financial liabilities that meet the definition of held for trading, including derivative instruments that are not used for hedge accounting,
  • financial liabilities that are voluntarily designated by the Company as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost include all financial liabilities that are subject to classification for the purposes of measurement that are not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial liability that is subject to classification for the purposes of fair value measurement.

The fair value of financial liabilities not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is decreased by transaction costs that may be directly assigned to the origination of the liability.

The balance sheet measurement of a financial liability and the recognition of restatements depend on the classification of the given item to the relevant category for measurement purposes:

  • financial liabilities classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs which would be necessary to settle the given item. Restatements to fair value are recognised in the period's result,
  • financial liabilities at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost on every balance sheet date.

Rules in effect until 31December2017:

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities concerning credit, loans and debt securities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate approach. In determining the amortised cost, costs related to obtain credit or loan and discount or bonuses related to the liability are taken into account.

55.23. Income tax (including deferred income tax)

The income tax presented in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income includes: current tax and deferred tax.

The current tax burden is calculated based on the tax result (tax base) for the given reporting period. Tax gain/loss differs from accounting net profit/loss due to the exclusion of taxable revenue and tax-deductible costs in subsequent years as well as cost and revenue items that are not subject to tax. Tax burdens are calculated using tax rates in effect during the reporting period.

Deferred tax is the tax effect of events in a given period recognised using the accrual principle in accounting books for the period but is performed in the future. It arises when the tax effect of revenue and costs is the same as the balance sheet effect but takes place in different periods.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Deferred income tax arises in respect of all temporary differences, except for cases where deferred income tax results

from:

  • a) initial recognition of goodwill; or
  • b) initial recognition of an asset or liability from a transaction that:
    • is not a merger of economic entities; and
    • has no impact at the transaction date on gross financial result or taxable income (tax loss);
  • c) investment in subsidiaries, branches, associates and interests in joint ventures.

In reference to all negative temporary differences, a deferred income tax asset is recognised up to an amount of likely taxable income to be generated that will offset the negative temporary differences.

The amount of deferred tax is determined using income tax rates in effect for the year in which the tax obligation arises.

55.24. Employeebenefits

The Group offers the following types of employee benefits:

A. Short-term employee benefits

The Group classifies the following as short-term employee benefits: monthly salary, annual bonus, right to discounts on electricity, short-term paid absences together with social security contributions, Energy Professionals' Day awards and liabilities concerning the Voluntary Redundancy Programme.

The liability concerning (accumulated) short-term paid absences (pay for leave) is recognised even if the paid absences do not entitle to a cash equivalent.

The Group determines the expected cost of accumulated paid absences as an additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of not exercising this entitlement as at the balance sheet date.

B. Defined benefit plans

The Group classifies the following as defined benefit plans:

1) Retirement and disability severance payments

Employees going into retirement (disability) are entitled to cash severance payments. The amount of these payments depends on seniority and the employee's remuneration. Actuarial methods are used to estimate this liability.

2) Death allowance

If an employee dies in the course of work or while on a disability pension after employment, the family is entitled to a death allowance from the employer. The amount of this allowance depends on seniority and the employee's remuneration. Actuarial methods are used to estimate this liability.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

3) Right to discounts in purchasing energy after retirement

Retiring employees who have been employed at the Group for at least one year have the right to discounts in purchasing energy. Retirees have the right to a cash equivalent of 3 000 kWh x 80% of the electricity price and the variable component of the transmission fee and 100% of the fixed grid fee and instalment fee according to a onezone tariff generally applicable to households. The cash equivalent is paid out twice a year in an amount constituting half the annual equivalent. The value of this equivalent is indexed by electricity price growth using a tariff generally applicable to households in the year preceding payment. If an employee dies, this right is transferred to the spouse if the spouse collects a family pension.

4) Contribution by the Group to the Company Social Benefit Fund for retirees covered by social services

A contribution by the Group to the Company Social Benefit Fund for retirees covered by social services is made in an amount that is calculated on the basis of binding provisions of law. Employee benefits are recognised in the statement of financial position under employee benefit liabilities, while changes in provisions are presented in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

Estimating liabilities concerning the benefits referred to in points 1-4 is performed by an actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognised in other comprehensive income.

C. Other long-term employee benefits

Longevity bonus

Other long-term employee benefits at the Group include longevity bonuses. The amount of these bonuses depends on seniority and the employee's remuneration. Actuarial methods are used to estimate this liability. Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognised in present-period profit or loss.

D. Defined contribution plans

1) Social insurance contributions

The social insurance system is based on a state programme under which the Group is obligated to pay contributions for employees' social insurance when they are due. The Group is not required, either legally or customarily, to make future social insurance contributions. The Group recognises the cost of present-period contributions in presentperiod profit or loss as employee benefit cost.

2) Employee Pension Programme

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

In accordance with an appendix to the Collective Labour Agreement, the Group runs an Employee Pension Programme in the form of group insurance for employees with a capital fund in accordance with rules specified in the Act and negotiated with the trade unions.

The Employee Pension Programme is available to the Group's employees after a year's employment regardless of the type of work contract.

Employees join the Employee Pension Programme on the following terms:

  • insurance is in the form of group life insurance with insurance protection,
  • the level of base contribution is 7% of the employee's remuneration,
  • 90% of the base contribution goes to an investment contribution and 10% to insurance protection.

The Group covers the cost of contributions to the Employee Pension Programme from present-period profit or loss as employee benefit cost.

E. Share-based payments

The fair value of awarded options to purchase shares accounted for as equity instruments is recognised as costs of remuneration in correspondence with an increase in equity. Fair value is determined as of the options award date and is recognised over the period until employees unconditionally obtain the right to exercise such options (given the fact that it is impossible to directly determine the fair value of employee benefits, their value is determined using the fair value of awarded equity instruments). The amount recognised in costs is adjusted in order to reflect the actual number of awarded options for which employment conditions and non-market conditions for acquiring such entitlements are met.

55.25. Provisions

Provisions are created when the Group has a present obligation (legal or customarily expected) resulting from past events, and there is a likelihood that performing this obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits and if the amount of this obligation can be reliably estimated.

The amount of the provision constitutes the most accurate estimate of funds necessary to satisfy the claim as at the balance sheet date.

Using a previously created provision for certain or highly likely future obligations is recognised when these obligations arise as a decrease of the provision.

In the event of a decrease or cessation of risk justifying the creation of a provision, an unused provision increases finance income or other operating revenue.

The Group also creates provisions for pre-trial claims submitted by the owners of properties on which its distribution grids with equipment are located and for other claims related to the Group's grid assets on properties for which the Group has no legal title. Estimating the amount of compensation includes potential payments of compensation for non-contractual use of land and for rent, and is prepared by the Company's technical personnel.

Provision for energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates

The Group creates provisions for redemption of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates or payment of substitute fees.

The basis for determining provisions for redemption of energy origin certificates for each instrument is the quantity of energy origin certificates constituting the difference between the quantity of certificates required for redemption in accordance with the Energy Law and the quantity of certificates redeemed as at the reporting date.

The basis for determining provisions for redemption of energy efficiency certificates is the quantity of certificates expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent constituting the difference between the quantity of certificates required for redemption under the Energy Law and the quantity of certificates redeemed as at the reporting date. Provisions are measured as follows:

    1. first, based on the purchase price for the energy efficiency certificates held but not redeemed at the balance sheet date,
    1. second, based on the purchase price resulting from the Group's sale agreements as regards the part of the certificates that the Group intends to receive first,
    1. third, based on the weighted average price in session transactions executed on the property rights market managed by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. in the course of the month with the reporting date that is used to determine the amount of provision,
    1. in the case of a lack of such transactions or a market shortage preventing the Group from purchasing a sufficient quantity of rights required to perform its obligation, the missing quantity of the provision is valued based on the unit substitute fee for the given financial year.

Provision for mine closure

A provision for future costs associated with mine closure is recognised in compliance with the requirements stemming from the Geological and Mining Law, pursuant to which a mining enterprise is required to close mines after production ends, in an amount of the expected costs associated with:

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • securing or liquidating mining excavations and mine facilities and equipment;
  • securing any unused parts of the deposit;
  • securing any neighbouring deposits;
  • securing excavations adjacent to the mining facility;
  • providing the necessary means to protect the environment and rehabilitate land and manage post-mining areas.

The amount of provision is recognised in the present value of expenditures that - it is expected - will be necessary to comply with the obligation. An interest rate before tax is then used, which reflects the present market assessment of the value of money in time and risk associated specifically with the liability. Increase in the provision associated with the passage of time is recognised as interest costs. Changes in the amount of this provision related to updated estimates (inflation rate, expected nominal value of expenditures on liquidation) in reference to the provision for mine closure are recognised as adjustment of the value of non-current assets subject to the closure obligation.

The amount of mine closure costs is calculated by an independent advisory firm using historic data concerning mine closure costs in the hard coal sector in Poland.

55.26. Revenue recognition

Rules in effectfrom1 January 2018:

The Group recognises revenue when an obligation to provide a consideration by providing a promised good or service (i.e. asset) to the customer is performed (or is being performed), thus obtaining the right to remuneration and legal title to the asset. The asset is transferred when the customer obtains control over it.

The transfer of control may be gradual if the obligation to provide a consideration is satisfied or over time, i.e. when:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided by the Group as the Group performs,
  • the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced (production in progress, for example), or
  • the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The performance-based method and overlay approach are used to determine the level of completion, taking into account the nature of the good or service being transferred.

In the item revenue from core activities, the Group recognises revenue from the sale of the following product and service groups:

services provided in a continuous manner - the level of revenue depends on consumption (including supply of electricity, industrial heat, natural gas, provision of distribution services). Revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control over a part of the service being provided. The Group recognises revenue in the amount of remuneration from the customer to which it has a right and which corresponds directly

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

to the value to the customer of the obligation performed so far - this value constitutes the amount that the Group has the right to invoice for,

  • provision of goods/services at a point in time (including the sale of property rights). Revenue is recognised when control over the product/service is transferred. Control is transferred when the customer receives the goods or when the provision of service is completed,
  • services provided in a continuous manner the level of revenue depends on time passage (including the sale of lighting services, process support services). Revenue from the sale of services is recognised over time because such services are provided in a continuous manner therefore a certain portion of the consideration is due to be transferred in each moment that the service is being provided. Given the fact that the value of services provided to the customer does not differ in particular settlement periods, the Group recognises revenue from the provision of services based on fixed monthly payments (regardless of usage),
  • services provided in a continuous manner based on the level of work progress (including construction work). A performance obligation is completed over time because as a result of the service an asset is created or enhanced, and the customer exercises control over this asset. Revenue from the provision of service is recognised over time - using the overlay approach - cost approach, based on which the level of contract progress is determined by comparing the amount of costs incurred to perform the contract to the overall costs budgeted in the contract.

Revenue from sales is recognised in the net amount of remuneration when the Group acts as agent, i.e. its performance perform is subject to the delivery of goods or services by another entity. Such revenue is recognised in the form of fee or commission to which - according to the Group's expectations - the Group will be entitled in exchange for the provision of goods or services by another entity. The fee or commission due for the Group may be a net amount that the Group retains after payment to another entity of consideration in exchange for goods or services provided by this entity.

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate approach, provided that this income is not in doubt.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is obtained. Dividend income is presented in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income below operating profit.

Rules in effect until 31December2017:

Revenue from sales is recognised at the fair value of received or due payment, less tax on goods and services, discounts and rebates.

Revenue from the sale of energy and distribution services is recognised at delivery of such energy. In order to determine the amount of revenue for the period between the date of last invoice and the balance sheet date, an estimate of revenue is prepared and shown in the statement of financial position in the item 'trade and other

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

receivables.'

Revenue from the sale of origin certificates purchase for further sale is recognised in accordance with the rules described in note 55.16.

Revenue from the sale of goods and materials is recognised when the entity transfers significant risk and benefits resulting from ownership of the goods and materials and there is likelihood that economic benefits from the transaction will be obtained.

Revenue from connection fees for tasks completed prior to 31 December 2009 is recognised in deferred revenue and accounted for over time appropriately to the connection depreciation period, which according to present estimates is 35 years. In EU IFRS-compliant financial statements, these fees are recognised as non-current accounting for subsidies and connection fees. At the end of each reporting period, fees up to 1 year are reclassified into current accounting for subsidies and connection fees. Advances for connection fees received by the Group prior to 31 December 2009 and for which the connection was handed over after 1 January 2010 are recognised fully and directly in revenue in compliance with IFRIC 18, introduced as of 1 January 2010 by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

Income from renting investment properties is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis throughout the contract term.

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate approach, provided that this income is not in doubt.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is obtained.

55.27. Subsidies

The Group receives subsidies in the form of tangible assets and reimbursement of costs spent on tangible assets. Subsidies are recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred revenue if there is sufficient certainty that they will be received and that the Group will meet the associated conditions. Subsidies received as reimbursement of costs incurred by the Group are systematically recognised as revenue in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the associated costs are incurred. Subsidies received as reimbursement of investment expenditures incurred by the Group are systematically recognised, proportionately to depreciation charges, as other operating revenue in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income throughout the asset's period of use.

55.28. Connectionfees

Rules in effectfrom1 January 2018:

Revenue from connection fees is recognised on a one-off basis as revenue when connection works are completed. Connection fees so far settled over time adjusted the beginning balance of retained earnings as of 1 January 2018 and are not subject to further settlement.

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Rules in effect until 31December2017:

Revenue from connection fees for tasks completed prior to 31 December 2009 is recognised in deferred revenue and accounted for over time appropriately to the connection depreciation period, which according to present estimates is 35 years. These fees are presented as non-current liabilities in financial statements. At the end of each reporting period, fees up to 1 year are reclassified into current liabilities.

Advances for connection fees received by the Group prior to 31 December 2009 and for which the connection was handed over after 1 January 2010 are recognised fully and directly in revenue on a one-off basis.

55.29. Dividend payment

The payment of dividends for shareholders (including minority shareholders in the case of dividends at subsidiaries) is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which it was approved by the Parent's shareholders.

55.30. Available-for-salenon-currentassets

Available-for-sale non-current assets are assets that meet the following criteria:

  • their balance sheet value will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through further use,
  • the Company's Management Board declares to sell them and begins an active search for a potential buyer,
  • the assets are available for an immediate sale in their current shape,
  • a sale transaction is highly likely and can be accounted for within 12 months from the decision,
  • the sale price is rational in relation to the present fair value,
  • there is a small likelihood of changes to the plan to dispose of these assets.

If the criteria are met after the end of the reporting period, no change is made to the classification of such assets at the end of the financial year preceding the event. A change in classification is reflected in the reporting period in which the criteria are met. When a given asset is designated for sale, depreciation stops accumulating. Available-for-sale assets are measured at the lower of the following two values: net balance sheet value or fair value less costs to sell.

55.31. StatementonnewIFRSstandards andinterpretations

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have not yet been endorsed by the EU or are not yet in force for annual periods ending 31 December 2018 and are not applied in the consolidated financial statements:

  • IFRS 16 Leases for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2021,

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

  • Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2020,
  • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2020,
  • IAS 19 Employee Benefits for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • IAS 8 Accounting Policies for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2020,
  • IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts for periods beginning on 1 January 2016 the European Commission decided not to endorse this temporary standard and instead wait for the proper standard,
  • IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 1 January 2019,
  • Amendments to IFRS 2015-2017 for periods beginning on 1 January 2019,
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 concerning the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures - the effective date for these regulations has not been set by the International Accounting Standards Board. As at the date on which these consolidated financial statements were prepared, approval of this amendment was deferred by the European Union.

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

IFRS 16 went into force on 1 January 2019. The Group adopted a modified retrospective approach as the approach for implementing IFRS 16.

Subject to change will be those provisions of accounting policies which in the case of contracts in which the Group is a lessee will introduce exemptions for:

  • short-term contracts, i.e. up to 12 months,
  • low-value contracts, i.e. contracts with an asset of low value up to PLN 10 thousand.

A contract is a lease when:

  • it concerns an identified asset that is explicitly specified in the contract (e.g. using an inventory number or indication of a specific floor of a building) or indirectly specified when it is made available to the client;
  • the lessee receives essential all of the economic benefits from such assets during the period of use, i.e. both basic benefits and the benefits derived from it;
  • the lessee has the right to specify the method in which it uses the identified asset.

According to estimates, the Group's assets will increase by approx. PLN 268 227 thousand, and this concerns the right to use assets, while equity and liabilities will increase by approx. PLN 268 227 thousand, and this concerns lease liabilities. The Group recognises a right to use the asset and the corresponding lease liability on 1 January 2019 as regards paid and unpaid right to perpetual usufruct of land and subleasing contracts, as presented in the following table:

Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (all amounts in PLN 000s, unless otherwise stated)

Undiscounted flows (note 47) 607 978
Effect of discount (259 107)
Other (80 644)
Total lease liability 268 227

Other contracts recognised in the item 'Other' as at 31 December 2018 are low-value or negligible therefore the Group decided not to convert them into finance leases as of 1 January 2019.
