The operation of the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the GPW Group companies is exposed to external risks related to the market and the legal and regulatory environment, and internal risks related to the operating activities.
The risk factors presented below may impact the operation of GPW in the remaining months of 2016, however the order in which they are presented does not reflect their relative importance for the Group.
The Group faces competition from other exchanges and alternative trading platforms; their entry to the Polish market may adversely impact the activity of the Group and its subsidiaries, their financial position and results of operations
The global exchange sector is highly competitive. Competition in trade and post-trade services in the European Union has been bolstered by legislative amendments designed to harmonise the regulations of EU member states and to integrate their financial markets. Multilateral trading facilities (MTFs) and other forms of exchange and OTC trade could be competitive to the GPW Group. Their active presence on the Polish market could cause attrition of some part of trading on the platforms operated by the Group and increase the pressure on transaction fees charged.
Adverse developments affecting the global economy may negatively affect the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations
The Group's business is dependent on the conditions on the global financial markets. Trends in the global economy, especially in Europe and the USA, as well as geopolitics in the neighbouring countries impact investors' perception of risks and their activity on financial and commodity markets. Furthermore, as global investors think in terms of geographical regions to look for locations of investments, Poland and GPW may be perceived less favourably despite a stronger macroeconomic position compared to peer countries in the region. Less activity of international investors on the markets operated by the GPW Group could also make them less attractive to other market participants.
The GPW Group operates in a highly regulated industry and regulatory changes may have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and results of operations
GPW Group companies operate primarily in Poland but in addition to national law they are also governed by EU regulations. The legal system and regulatory environment can be subject to frequent and sometimes significant unanticipated changes while laws and regulations applicable in Poland may be subject to conflicting official interpretations. The capital market and the commodity instruments market are subject to broad governmental regulation and may be subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny. Regulatory changes may have an adverse effect on GPW and its subsidiaries and on the current and future users of services of the GPW Group.
Amendments of Polish energy laws concerning the obligation of selling electricity and natural gas on the public market could have an adverse impact on the business of the Towarowa Giełda Energii, its financial position and results of operations
The Energy Law imposes on energy companies which generate electricity the obligation of selling no less than 15% of electricity generated within the year among others on commodity exchanges. A similar obligation of selling no less than 55% of high-methane natural gas introduced to the
transmission grid within the year has been imposed on energy companies trading in gas. Amendments or cancellation of these obligations could result in less active presence of certain participants of the Towarowa Giełda Energii, impair the liquidity of trade in electricity and natural gas, and make the commodity market less attractive to other participants.
Furthermore, the Energy Law imposes on energy companies which generate electricity, and which are entitled to receive reimbursement of stranded costs in the event of early termination of longterm contracts for the sale of electric power and energy6 , the obligation of selling the remaining quantity of generated electricity (not subject to the obligation of selling 15% referred to above) in a manner which ensures public equal access to such energy, in an open tender, on a market organised by an operator of a regulated market in the Republic of Poland or on commodity exchanges. The number of companies subject to that obligation is decreasing with time, which may result in their less active presence on the Towarowa Giełda Energii, impair the liquidity of trade in electricity, and make the commodity market less attractive to other participants.
The Renewable Energy Sources Act of 20 February 2015 implements a new system of support for energy generated from renewable energy sources (RES) as of 2016 based on auctions. The existing system based on green certificates of origin will operate no longer than 31 December 2035. In practice, the system may be completely phased out earlier than that due to the fact that certificates of origin are available within 15 years after the first generation of energy in an installation (confirmed by an issued certificate of origin). For those RES installations which first started generating energy subject to green certificates of origin (in 2005), the period of 15 years under the Act will end in 2020; after that, the existing support system will be gradually phased out over many years. Furthermore, the Act allows companies benefiting from support under certificates of origin to switch to the auction system before the end of 15 years. Consequently, some of them may switch to the auction system at an earlier date (before 2020), which would have an adverse impact on the results of the TGE Group.
In addition, the Act narrows down the scope of entities eligible for support under green certificates (excluding large hydropower installations; over 5 MW) and imposes restrictions on the issuance of certificates of origin for multi-fuel combustion plants.
The aforementioned changes and other provisions of the Renewable Energy Sources Act of 20 February 2015 and its implementing regulations could have an adverse impact on the activity of participants of the Property Rights Market and the Register of Certificates of Origin operated by the Towarowa Giełda Energii and, consequently, on the results of the TGE Group.
The Company cannot control regulatory fees which represent a significant share of the Group's expenses
The Act of 12 June 2015 amending the Capital Market Supervision Act and certain other Acts has largely extended the list of entities required to finance supervision (by adding, among others, banks, insurers, investment funds, public companies, brokerage houses and foreign investment firms) and increased the amount of contributions of entities. As a result, the cost paid by GPW may be reduced significantly in 2016 and beyond compared to PLN 22.0 million in 2015.
Following an amendment of regulations governing fees paid to cover the cost of supervision of the capital market and in view of the provisions of an interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC 21), the GPW Group has decided to change the timing of recognition of liabilities in respect of fees due to PFSA and of charging the fees to costs. Previously, GPW recognised 1/12 of the annual fee due to PFSA in each month of the year. According to IFRIC 21, an entity recognises a liability for fees due to PFSA at the date of the obligating event. The obligating event is the fact of carrying out a business subject to fees due to
6 Under the Act of 29 June 2007 on Principles of Covering the Cost of Early Termination of Long-term Power and Electricity Sale Contracts Incurred by Producers.
PFSA as at 1 January of each year. Consequently, the estimated amount of the annual fees due to PFSA will be charged to the accounts of the GPW Group of the first quarter of each year.
However, the exact amount of the liability is not yet known at the time when it is recognised and charged because the Chairperson of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority publishes the rates and the indicators necessary to calculate the fees in a public communique promulgated in the Official Journal of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority by 31 August of each calendar year. On that basis, the entities obliged to pay the fee will calculate the final amount of the annual fee due for the year and pay the fee by 30 September of the calendar year.
Consequently, the final amount of the fees due to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority may differ from the amount estimated by the GPW Group companies at the time of recognition.
The GPW Group generated EBITDA7 of PLN 84.0 million in H1 2016, a decrease of PLN 8.1 million compared to PLN 92.1 million in H1 2015.
The GPW Group generated an operating profit of PLN 71.1 million compared to PLN 79.3 million in H1 2015. The decrease of the operating profit by PLN 8.2 million year on year in H1 2016 resulted from lower revenue from the financial market segment (a decrease of PLN 12.0 million) combined with higher revenue from the commodity market segment (an increase of PLN 2.8 million) as well as modestly lower operating expenses (a decrease of PLN 1.0 million).
The net profit of the Group stood at PLN 60.3 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 65.4 million in H1 2015.
GPW's EBITDA stood at PLN 37.9 million in H1 2016, a decrease of PLN 7.1 million compared to PLN 45.0 million in H1 2015.
GPW generated a separate operating profit of PLN 28,0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 34.2 million in H1 2015.
The decrease of GPW's operating profit year on year in H1 2016 was mainly a result of lower revenue (a decrease of PLN 11.6 million). The decrease of revenue was mainly driven by lower revenue from trading in equities (a decrease of PLN 12.8 million).
GPW's net profit was PLN 23.7 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 69.1 million H1 2015. The decrease of the net profit year on year in H1 2016 was driven by a decrease of the operating profit and a decrease (by PLN 40.2 million) of net financial income and expenses resulting from lower revenue from dividends. At the same time, the income tax in H1 2016 decreased (by PLN 0.9 million) year on year.
The TGE Group generated an operating profit of PLN 43.1 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 44.4 million in H1 2015. The net profit of the TGE Group stood at PLN 35.5 million and PLN 36.1 million, respectively, in the periods under review.
BondSpot generated an operating profit of PLN 0.3 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 1.3 million in H1 2015. The net profit stood at PLN 0.36 million and PLN 1.1 million, respectively, in the periods under review.

The Group has three revenue-generating segments:
Revenues from the financial market include revenues from:
Trading revenue includes fees paid by market participants in respect of:
Revenues from transactions in equities and equity-related securities are the Group's main source of trading revenues and its main source of sales revenues in general.
Revenues from transactions in derivative financial instruments are the second biggest source of trading revenues on the financial market following revenues from transactions in equities. Transactions in WIG20 index futures account for the majority of revenues from transactions in derivatives.
Revenues from other fees paid by market participants include mainly fees for services providing access to the trading system.
Revenues from transactions in debt instruments were the third largest source of trading revenues on the financial market in H1 2016. Revenues from transactions in debt instruments are generated by the Catalyst market as well as the Treasury BondSpot Poland market operated by BondSpot S.A., a subsidiary of GPW.
Revenues from transactions in other cash market instruments include fees for trading in structured products, investment certificates, warrants and ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) units.
Listing revenues include two main elements:
Revenues from information services mainly include fees paid by data vendors for real-time market data as well as historical and statistical data. Real-time data fees include fixed annual fees and monthly fees based on the data vendor's number of subscribers and the scope of data feeds used by a subscriber.
Revenues of the Group in the commodity market segment include revenues of TGE and IRGIT as well as revenues of InfoEngine from its activity as a trade operator, the entity responsible for balancing, and the operation of the OTC commodity platform.
Revenue on the commodity market includes the following:
Trading revenue on the commodity market includes:
Other fees paid by market participants include TGE fees, as well as revenues of InfoEngine as a trade operator, the entity responsible for balancing, and the operation of the OTC commodity platform.
Revenues of the sub-segment "clearing" include revenues of the company IRGIT, which clears and settles exchange transactions concluded on TGE, manages the resources of the clearing guarantee system and determines the amount of credits and debits of IRGIT members resulting from their transactions.
The Group's other revenues include revenues of GPW and the TGE Group, among others, from office space lease and sponsorship. Following the sale of InfoStrefa S.A. (formerly Instytut Rynku Kapitałowego S.A.) to a third party, other revenues decreased starting in Q4 2015.
The Group's sales revenues amounted to PLN 155.5 million in H1 2016, a decrease of 6% (PLN 9.8 million) year on year.
The decrease in sales revenues year on year in H1 2016 was mainly driven by a decrease of revenues from the financial market by PLN 12.0 million, especially from trading in equities and equity-related instruments. Revenue from trading in debt instruments also decreased. Listing revenues also decreased by PLN 0.8 million or 6.1%. Revenues from the commodity market increased by PLN 2.8 million or 4.3% year on year.
The revenue of the TGE Group stood at PLN 67.6 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 64.6 million in H1 2015. The revenue of BondSpot in the periods under review stood at PLN 5.4 million and PLN 6.2 million, respectively.

The revenues of the Group from trading on the financial market stood at PLN 54.9 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 67.5 million in H1 2015.
Revenues from trading in equities and equity-related instruments amounted to PLN 40.2 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 53.0 million in H1 2015.
The decrease of revenues from trading in equities was mainly a result of a decrease in the value of trading on the Main Market as well as a reduction of trading fees effective as of 1 January 2016. The value of trading decreased by 21.2% year on year in H1 2016 (including a decrease of the Electronic Order Book by 16.4% and of block trades by 62.4%). In addition, the share of HVP/HVF Programme participants, who pay lower fees, in the total value of trading in equities increased.
The reduction of trading fees results from changes in the financing system of capital market supervision. As of 1 January 2016, GPW reduced the transaction fees on trade in shares, allotment certificates and ETF units in the part charged on the value of an order up to PLN 100 thousand from 0.033% to 0.029% in order to share the savings resulting from the change of the structure of fees paid to PFSA in favour of market participants.

Revenues of the Group from transactions in derivatives on the financial market amounted to PLN 6.2 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 5.5 million in H1 2015.
Revenues from transactions in derivatives increased by 13.1% year on year in H1 2016. The total volume of trade in derivatives decreased by 6.7% but the volume of trade in WIG20 futures, which account for the majority of revenues from trade in derivatives, increased by 17.4%.

Revenues of the Group from other fees paid by market participants were stable in the semiannual periods under review and stood at PLN 3.3 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 3.1 million in H1 2015. The fees mainly include fees for access to the trading system (among others, licence fees, connection fees and maintenance fees) as well as fees for use of the system.
Revenues of the Group from transactions in debt instruments stood at PLN 5.0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 5.7 million in H1 2015. The majority of the Group's revenues from the debt instruments segment is generated by Treasury BondSpot Poland (TBSP).
The decrease of the revenues year on year in H1 2016 was a result of a lower value of trade on TBS Poland, which decreased by 19.8% for cash transactions and by 68.8% for conditional transactions. The trading revenue on the TBS Poland market is driven among others by the structure of fees on the market and does not reflect directly changes in the value of trading.
The decrease in the value of trading on TBSP was driven among other things by the reduction of balance sheets by banks, resulting in less active trading in Treasury bonds (especially in the repo/sell-buy-back segment).
The value of trading on Catalyst increased by 52.7% year on year in H1 2016. Revenues from Catalyst have a small share in the Group's total revenues from transactions in debt instruments.

Revenues from transactions in other cash market instruments amounted to PLN 0.20 million in H1 2016, the same as in H1 2015. The revenues include fees for trading in structured products, investment certificates, ETF units and warrants.
Listing revenues on the financial market amounted to PLN 12.0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 12.8 million in H1 2015.
Revenues from listing fees amounted to PLN 10.1 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 9.9 million in H1 2015. The main driver of revenues from listing fees is the number of issuers listed on the GPW markets and their capitalisation at the year's end. The decrease of capitalisation of companies listed on the GPW Main Market year on year as at the end of 2015 resulted in a decrease of listing fees in view of changes in the capitalisation of companies and the structure of fees (the annual listing fee is capped at PLN 70 thousand).
Revenues from fees for introduction and other fees amounted to PLN 1.9 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 2.8 million in H1 2015. The revenues are driven mainly by the number and value of new listings of shares and bonds on the GPW markets.
The listing revenue on the GPW Main Market decreased by 7.3% year on year in H1 2016. The table below presents the key financial and operating figures.

Revenues on the commodity market include mainly the revenues of the TGE Group.
Revenues of the TGE Group are driven mainly by the volume of transactions in electricity, natural gas and property rights, the volume of certificates of origin issued and cancelled by members of the Register of Certificates of Origin, as well as revenues from clearing and settlement of transactions in exchange-traded commodities in the clearing sub-segment operated by IRGIT.
Revenues of the GPW Group on the commodity market stood at PLN 67.0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 64.3 million in H1 2015.
The increase of revenues on the commodity market year on year in H1 2016 was mainly driven by an increase in revenues from the operation of the register of certificates of origin, clearing, cash transactions on the gas market, as well as other fees paid by market participants. On the other hand, revenues from transactions in electricity decreased, reducing the trading revenue.
Trading revenues of the GPW Group on the commodity market amounted to PLN 30.8 million in H1 2016, including PLN 1.5 million of revenues from spot transactions in electricity, PLN 3.8 million of revenues from forward transactions in electricity, PLN 1.3 million of revenues from spot transactions in gas, PLN 3.5 million of revenues from forward transactions in gas, PLN 16.6 million of revenues from transactions in property rights in certificates of origin of electricity, and PLN 4.0 million of other fees paid by market participants. The revenues decreased by PLN 1.4 million year on year in H1 2016.
The Group's revenues from trade in electricity amounted to PLN 5.3 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 7.0 million in H1 2015. The total volume of trading on the energy markets operated by TGE amounted to 66.3 TWh in H1 2016 compared to 89.7 TWh in H1 2015.
The decrease in revenues from trading in electricity year on year in H1 2016 was due to a lower volume of forward transactions. The volume of forward transactions decreased by 32.1% while the volume of spot transactions increased by 10.4%.
The Group's revenues from trade in gas amounted to PLN 4.8 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 4.3 million in H1 2015. The volume of trade in natural gas on TGE was 59.2 TWh in H1 2016 compared to 55.8 TWh in H1 2015.
The Group's revenue from the trading in property rights stood at PLN 16.6 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 17.4 million in H1 2015. The volume of trading in property rights stood at 31.2 TWh in H1 2016 compared to 34.2 TWh in H1 2015.
Revenues of the Group from other fees paid by commodity market participants amounted to PLN 4.0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 3.5 million in H1 2015. Other fees paid by commodity market participants included fees paid by TGE market participants and revenues of InfoEngine from the activity of trade operator.
Other fees paid by market participants are driven mainly by revenues from fixed market participation fees, fees for cancellation of transactions, fees for position transfers, fees for trade reporting under RRM (Registered Reporting Mechanism), fees for access to the system, and fees for management of the resources of the guarantee fund. Other fees paid by market participants depend mainly on the activity of IRGIT Members, in particular the number of transactions, the number of new clients of brokerage houses, and the number of new users accessing the clearing system.

The decrease of consolidated expenses year on year in H1 2016 was mainly driven by lower operating expenses of all categories but Salaries and Depreciation and amortisation. Salaries increased in H1 2016 mainly due to the cost of severance pay following reorganisation (PLN 1.5 million), whereas provisions against retirement allowances and jubilee awards were released in H1 2015 (PLN 3.3 million), reducing the cost of salaries.

The comments below concerning operating expenses items are based on consolidated figures of the GPW Group.
Depreciation and amortisation charges stood at PLN 12.9 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 12.8 million in H1 2015. The increase in depreciation and amortisation charges year on year in H1 2016 resulted mainly from an increase of depreciation and amortisation charges in TGE by PLN 0.9 million, a decrease of depreciation and amortisation charges in GPW by PLN 0.9 million following the completion of depreciation of property, plant and equipment related to the UTP trading system in 2015, as well as an increase of depreciation and amortisation charges in BondSpot by PLN 0.1 million.
Salaries and other employee costs amounted to PLN 34.9 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 32.6 million in H1 2015.
GPW's salaries increased year on year in H1 2016 due to the cost of reorganisation in 2016 (PLN 1.5 million), whereas salaries decreased in 2015 as provisions against retirement allowances and jubilee awards were released following changes of the jubilee award system and the retirement and disability severance pay system (PLN 3.3 million).
The headcount of the Group was 349 FTEs as at 30 June 2016.

Rent and other maintenance fees amounted to PLN 4.5 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 5.2 million in H1 2015. Rental contracts for NewConnect and Catalyst rooms and an archive space in the Centrum Giełdowe building were terminated at the end of May 2015, reducing the cost of rent and maintenance fees by ca. PLN 100 thousand per month as of June 2015.
Fees and charges stood at PLN 12.1 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 12.4 million in H1 2015. The main component of fees and charges are capital market supervision fees paid to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) (PLN 11.2 million in the current period). Following a change of the system of financing of the cost of market supervision and a change of the scope of entities contributing towards the financing as of the beginning of 2016, the entire estimated annual fee due to PFSA is recognised in H1 2016. The amount of the fee in H1 2016 compared with H1 2015 is driven by a decrease of the fees due to PFSA paid by GPW by PLN 4.5 million, an increase of the fees due to PFSA paid by TGE by PLN 4.1 million, and an increase of the fees due to PFSA paid by BondSpot by PLN 0.1 million. While the fees due to PFSA from the GPW Group are very similar in the periods under review, it should be noted that the entire estimated annual cost was recognised in H1 2016 while only the H1 2015 cost was recognised in H1 2015.
The Act of 12 June 2015 amending the Capital Market Supervision Act and certain other Acts has largely extended the list of entities required to finance supervision (by adding, among others, banks, insurers, investment funds, public companies, brokerage houses and foreign investment firms) and increased the amount of contributions of entities. As a result, the cost paid by GPW may be reduced significantly in 2016 and beyond compared to PLN 22.0 million in 2015 (approximately by half for the GPW Group compared to 2015). At the same time, as of 1 January 2016, GPW reduced the transaction fees on trade in shares, allotment certificates and ETF units in the part charged on the value of an order up to PLN 100 thousand from 0.033% to 0.029% in order to transfer the savings resulting from the change of the structure of fees paid to PFSA in favour of market participants. The reduction of the fees paid to PFSA combined with the reduction of the trading fees offered by GPW will result in a commensurate decrease of both revenue and operating expenses of the GPW Group throughout 2016.
Following an amendment of regulations governing fees paid to cover the cost of supervision of the capital market and in view of the provisions of an interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC 21), the GPW Group has decided to change the timing of recognition of liabilities in respect of fees due to PFSA and of charging the fees to costs. Previously, GPW recognised 1/12 of the annual fee due to PFSA in each month of the year. Starting in 2016, the GPW Group will recognise the total liabilities and costs in respect of annual fees due to PFSA in the first quarter of each year. As a result of the modified presentation of fees due to PFSA, the GPW Group's operating expenses in H1 2016 include the entire fee at PLN 11 million. However, the GPW Group's operating expenses in H2 2016 will not include the annual fee due to PFSA, which will reduce them by approximately PLN 2.7 million per quarter compared to a steady distribution of the fees over the year. The modification is a purely presentational movement between different quarters. It will not affect the GPW Group's annual results.
The Chairperson of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority publishes the rates and the indicators necessary to calculate the fees in a public communique promulgated in the Official Journal of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority by 31 August of each calendar year. On that basis, the entities obliged to pay the fee will calculate the final amount of the annual fee due for the year and pay the fee by 30 September of the calendar year.
External service charges amounted to PLN 17.0 million in H1 2016 compared to PLN 18.9 million in H1 2015 (a decrease of 10.0%).

At the same time, as of 1 January 2016, GPW reduced the transaction fees on trade in shares, allotment certificates and ETF units in the part charged on the value of an order up to PLN 100 thousand from 0.033% to 0.029% in order to transfer the savings resulting from the change of the structure of fees paid to PFSA in favour of market participants. The reduction of the fees paid to PFSA (approximately by half for the GPW Group compared to 2015) combined with the reduction of the trading fees offered by GPW will result in a commensurate decrease of both revenue and operating expenses of the GPW Group throughout 2016.
Following an amendment of regulations governing fees paid to cover the cost of supervision of the capital market and in view of the provisions of an interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC 21), the GPW Group has decided to change the timing of recognition of liabilities in respect of fees due to PFSA and of charging the fees to costs. Previously, GPW recognised 1/12 of the annual fee due to PFSA in each month of the year. According to IFRIC 21, an entity recognises a liability for fees due to PFSA at the date of the obligating event. The obligating event is the fact of carrying out a business subject to fees due to PFSA as at 1 January of each year. Consequently, the estimated amount of the annual fees due to PFSA will be charged to the accounts of the GPW Group of the first quarter of each year.
As a result of the modified presentation of fees due to PFSA, the GPW Group's operating expenses in H1 2016 include the entire annual fee at PLN 11 million, recognised in Q1 2016. However, the GPW Group's operating expenses will not include the annual fee due to PFSA starting in Q2 2016, which will reduce them by approximately PLN 2.7 million per quarter compared to a steady distribution of the fees over the year. The modification is a purely presentational movement between different quarters. It will not affect the GPW Group's annual results. The same applies to the associate KDPW, impacting the GPW Group's share of profit of associates. KDPW's Q1 2016 profit includes the entire fee due to the PFSA in 2016 at PLN 9.3 million.
The Chairperson of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority publishes the rates and the indicators necessary to calculate the fees in a public communique promulgated in the Official Journal of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority by 31 August of each calendar year. On that basis, the entities obliged to pay the fee will calculate the final amount of the annual fee due for the year and pay the fee by 30 September of the calendar year.
The balance-sheet total of the Group was PLN 1.1 billion as at the end of H1 2016 compared to PLN 1.1 billion as at the end of H1 2015.
The Group's non-current assets stood at PLN 579.6 million representing 51% of total assets as at 30 June 2016 compared to PLN 580.6 million or 57% of total assets as at 31 December 2015 and PLN 572.3 million or 52% of total assets as at 30 June 2015. The Group's property, plant and equipment decreased modestly after the end of 2015 as a result of depreciation in GPW and TGE.
The Group's current assets stood at PLN 542.8 million representing 49% of total assets as at the end of H1 2016 compared to PLN 442.2 million or 43% of total assets as at the end of 2015 and PLN 519.7 million or 48% of total assets as at the end of H1 2015. The change in current assets after the end of 2015 was driven among others by the following factors:

The equity of the Group stood at PLN 682.5 million representing 61% of the Group's total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2016 compared to PLN 721.3 million or 71% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of 2015 and PLN 664.0 million or 61% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2015.
Non-current liabilities of the Group stood at PLN 137.5 million representing 12% of the Group's total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2016 compared to PLN 258.8 million or 25% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of Q4 2015 and PLN 255.2 million or 23% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2015. Non-current liabilities of the Group include mainly liabilities of GPW under issued bonds. The decrease in non-current liabilities after the end of 2015 was due to the reclassification of liabilities in respect of issued series A and B bonds to current liabilities in view of their maturity date which falls on 2 January 2017.
Current liabilities of the Group stood at PLN 302.4 million representing 27% of the Group's total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2016 compared to PLN 42.7 million or 4% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of 2015 and PLN 172.7 million or 16% of total equity and liabilities as at the end of H1 2015. The liability under the bond issue increased after the end of 2015 following the reclassification of liabilities in respect of issued series A and B bonds to current liabilities in view of their maturity date which falls on 2 January 2017. Furthermore, the TGE Group's other current VAT liabilities increased due to the profile of its transactions, as so did its liability under dividend payments due to GPW. The increase of accruals and deferred income was driven by annual fees paid by issuers, which are booked in the first quarter of the year and recognised over time. Furthermore, accruals and deferred income increased following the recognition in Q1 2016 of the entire liability in respect of the annual fees due to the PFSA

The Group generated positive cash flows from operating activities at PLN 147.1 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to positive cash flows of PLN 64.9 million in the first six months of 2015. The higher cash flows from operating activities in H1 2016 were mainly driven by a decrease in receivables of TGE from statutory settlements resulting from VAT, as well as an increase in accruals and deferred income in GPW and TGE.
The cash flows from investing activities were negative at PLN 2.1 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to negative cash flows at PLN 3.4 million in H1 2015.
The cash flows from financing activities were negative at PLN 3.8 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to negative PLN 4.1 million in H1 2015. The negative cash flows mainly related to interest paid on issued bonds.

The Group's total capital expenditure in H1 2016 amounted to PLN 5.9 million including expenditure for property, plant and equipment at PLN 4.3 million and expenditure for intangible assets at PLN 1.6 million. By comparison, the Group's total capital expenditure in the first six months of 2015 amounted to PLN 6.9 million including expenditure for property, plant and equipment at PLN 2.6 million and expenditure for intangible assets at PLN 4.3 million.
The value of (contracted) future investment commitments of the Group was PLN 9.4 million as at 30 June 2016, including commitments for property, plant and equipment at PLN 1.0 million mainly for refurbishment of GPW premises, as well as commitments for intangible assets at PLN 8.4 million mainly for the following:
In the period under review, the debt of the Group posed no threat to its going concern and capacity to meet liabilities on time. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA remained negative in the periods under review as liquid assets of the GPW Group were greater than interest-bearing liabilities (net debt less than 0). The debt to equity ratio decreased moderately year on year in H1 2016 due to an increase in equity. The Group did not raise additional borrowed capital in the first six months of 2016.
The current liquidity ratio was 1.8 as at the end of H1 2016; its decrease was due to the reclassification of liabilities in respect of issued series A and B bonds to current liabilities. However, the ratio remains safe.
The coverage ratio of interest costs under the bond issue decreased modestly year on year in H1 2016 due to the Group's lower EBITDA. The Group generated cash flows from operating activities which were several times higher than necessary to cover current liabilities under the bond issue.
The profitability ratios decreased modestly year on year in H1 2016 due to a decrease of sales revenue. The lower level of return on assets (ROA) year on year in H1 2016 was due to higher average assets and a lower net profit of the Group in the last 12 months.

Share prices and the value of trading are significantly influenced by local, regional and global trends impacting the capital markets, which determines the number and size of new issues of financial instruments and the activity of investors on GPW. As a result, the revenue of the Group is cyclical.
Trading in certificates of origin on TGE is subject to some seasonality. The volume of trade in property rights on the property rights market operated by TGE and the activity of participants of the register of certificates of origin are largely determined by the obligation imposed on energy companies which sell electricity to final consumers and have to cancel a certain quantity of certificates of origin in relation to the volume of electricity sold in the year. The percentage of certificates of origin which must be cancelled is fixed for every year in regulations of the Minister of the Economy.
According to the Energy Law applicable until April 2015, the obligation had to be performed until 31 March of the year following the year of the obligation. The Act of 20 February 2015 on renewable energy sources changed the deadlines, whereby green certificates of origin of renewable energy sources (or payment of a replacement fee) for the period from 1 January 2015 to 3 April 2015 was only possible until 31 March 2016. However, the obligation for the period from 4 April 2015 to 31 December 2015 was possible until 30 June 2016. In subsequent years, the entire obligation will be performed until 30 June. For cogeneration (red, yellow, and purple certificates), as of 2015, the obligation can also be performed by 30 June of the year for the previous year (previously: until 31 March). As a result, trading in the first half of the year is relatively higher than in the second half of the year.
The issuance of certificates of origin also intensifies in Q1 and in Q4 of each year. Certificates of origin are subject to mandatory cancellation within time limits set in the energy market regulations.
Trading in energy on the Commodity Derivatives Market operated by TGE is not distributed evenly over the year. It is seasonal in that trading is relatively low in the first half of the year compared to the second half of the year. This is because the supply side is awaiting information about the costs of electricity generation (including the cost of fuel) in the first half of the year. The demand side, in turn, needs time to determine its demand for the next year based on the demand of its clients.
The GPW Group had no contingent liabilities or contingent assets as at 30 June 2016.
According to the Company's best knowledge, there is no litigation pending against the parent entity or other companies of the Group before a court, an arbitration body or a public administration body concerning liabilities or debt with a value of at least 10% of the Company's equity.
In the first six months of 2016, GPW and the associates of GPW did not make any other significant transactions on terms other than at arm's length.
On 25 May 2016, the Ordinary General Meeting of BondSpot S.A. resolved to allocate PLN 2 million from the 2015 net profit for the payment of dividend to the shareholders.

On 10 June 2016, GPW and the other shareholders of Aquis signed an agreement concerning shares of Aquis Exchange Limited.

The call option may be exercised by Aquis shareholders upon a negative decision of GPW concerning an initial public offering (IPO) or a negative decision of GPW concerning potential restructuring of Aquis Exchange necessary to complete an IPO. The call option is valid until the end of November 2017 and then expires.
In H1 2016, Aquis Exchange Limited issued shares at GBP 18.50 per share, which is more than the price paid by GPW (GBP 13.02 per share). Following the share issue without the participation of GPW, GPW's share in Aquis measured by the number of shares decreased from 31.01% as at 31 December 2015 to 26.89% as at 30 June 2016. GPW's share in economic and voting rights decreased from 26.33% to 23.30%.
In May 2016, TGE granted a short-term loan of PLN 300 thousand to the subsidiary InfoEngine S.A. The purpose of the loan was to finance current activities of the company. The interest rate on the loan was 2,0% p.a. The loan was granted for a period ending on 31 March 2017.
On 22 June 2016, the Ordinary General Meeting of GPW resolved to pay out a dividend of PLN 99,054 thousand, including PLN 96,536 thousand to be paid from the profit of 2015 and the remainder, i.e. PLN 2,518 thousand, to be paid from reserves.

Related parties of the Group include its associates (KDPW S.A. Group, Centrum Giełdowe S.A. and Aquis Exchange Limited) and the State Treasury as the parent entity (holding 35.00% of the share capital and 51.76% of the total number of voting rights as at 31 March 2016), entities controlled and jointly controlled by the State Treasury and entities on which the State Treasury has significant influence. Furthermore, related parties include the key management personnel of the Group.
The Group keeps no records which would clearly identify and aggregate transactions with all entities which are related parties of the State Treasury.
Companies with a stake held by the State Treasury, with which the parent entity enters into transactions, include issuers (from which GPW charges introduction and listing fees) and Exchange Members (from which GPW charges fees for access to trade on the exchange market, fees for access to the GPW IT systems, and fees for trade in financial instruments).
Of the biggest clients of the parent entity, Powszechna Kasa Oszczędności Bank Polski S.A. was the only entity with a stake held by the State Treasury with which GPW entered into individually material transactions, identified on the basis of a list of companies supervised by the Ministry of Treasury as published by the Ministry of Treasury. The total sale to that company was PLN 4,428 thousand in the six-month period ended on 30 June 2016 and PLN 5,938 thousand in the six-month period ended on 30 June 2015.
Companies with a stake held by the State Treasury, with which PolPX and WCCH enter into transactions, include members of the markets operated by PolPX and members of the Clearing House. Fees are charged from such entities for participation and for trade on the markets operated by PolPX, for issuance and cancellation of property rights in certificates of origin, and for clearing.
Of the biggest clients of the PolPX Group, the following companies with a stake held by the State Treasury entered individually into material transactions with the PolPX Group: Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. (Polish Oil and Gas Company, "PGNiG"). The total revenue of PolPX and WCCH from PGNiG was PLN 6,442 thousand in the six-month period ended on 30 June 2016 and PLN 4,837 thousand in the three-month period ended on 30 June 2015. PGNiG is a participant of the markets operated by PolPX and a member of WCCH.
No other companies with a stake held by the State Treasury which entered into individually or collectively material transactions with the Group were identified among suppliers of the Group.
All trade transactions with entities with a stake held by the State Treasury are concluded in the normal course of business and are carried out on an arm's length basis. According to the Group's estimates, the individual and aggregate impact of other trade transactions with entities with a stake held by the State Treasury was immaterial in the six-month period ended on 30 June 2016.
In accordance with the Polish law, the Group's companies are subject to tax obligations. Hence, they pay tax to the State Treasury, which is a related party. The rules and regulations applicable to the Group's companies in this regard are the same as those applicable to other entities which are not related parties.
The Act of 12 June 2015 amending the Capital Market Supervision Act and certain other Acts has largely extended the list of entities required to finance supervision and increased the amount of contributions of entities. The Regulation of the Minister of Finance which determines among others the calculation method as well as the terms and conditions of the payment of fees by relevant entities took effect as of 1 January 2016. As a result, the cost paid by the GPW Group will be reduced significantly in 2016 and beyond compared to PLN 22.0 million in 2015.
Following these amendments of regulations, the GPW Group has decided in 2016 to change the timing of recognition of liabilities in respect of fees due to PFSA and of charging the fees to costs. Previously, the GPW Group recognised 1/12 of the annual fee due to PFSA in each month of the year. Starting in 2016, the estimated amount of the entire annual fee due to PFSA is charged to the accounts of the GPW Group of the first quarter of each year.
As a result of the change in the presentation of the fee due to PFSA, the GPW Group's operating expenses in H1 2016 include an annual fee of PLN 11.1 million. The fees in the first six months 2015 stood at PLN 11.1 million.
Details about the changes of fees due to PFSA are presented in the GPW Group's financial statements for the three-month period ended on 31 March 2016.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements disclose information on segments based on components of the entity which are monitored by managers to make operating decisions. Operating segments are components of the entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's key decision makers who are responsible for allocation of the resources to the segments and assessment of the Group's performance.
For management purposes, the Group is divided into segments based on the type of services provided. Three main reporting segments are as follows:
1) Financial Market segment, which covers the activity of the Group including organising trade in financial instruments on the exchange as well as related activities. The Group also engages in capital market education, promotion and information activities and organises an alternative trading system.
The Financial Market includes three subsegments:

The Commodity Market includes the following sub-segments:
The Commodity Market segment includes the PolPX Group.
3) The segment Other includes the companies IAiR and GPW Centrum Usług.

Transaction prices of transactions between the business segments are set at arm's length, as for transactions with non-related parties.

Contracted investment commitments for intangible assets amounted to PLN 6,512 thousand as at 31 December 2015 and related mainly to:
As at 30 June 2016, and as at 31 December 2015, the Company held interest in the following subsidiaries:
As at 30 June 2016, and as at 31 December 2015, the Company held interest in the following associates:
On 10 June 2016, GPW and the other shareholders of Aquis signed an agreement concerning shares of Aquis Exchange Limited. Under the annex to the shareholders' agreement, GPW agreed to conditionally sell the entire package of Aquis shares held at GBP 37 per share. The call option may be exercised by Aquis shareholders upon a negative decision of GPW concerning an initial public offering (IPO) or a negative decision of GPW concerning potential restructuring of Aquis Exchange necessary to complete an IPO. The call option is valid until the end of November 2017 and then expires.
In H1 2016, Aquis Exchange Limited issued shares at GBP 18.50 per share, which is more than the price paid by GPW (GBP 13.02 per share). Following the share issue without the participation of GPW, GPW's share in Aquis measured by the number of shares decreased from 31.01% as at 31 December 2015 to 26.89% as at 30 June 2016. GPW's share in economic and voting rights decreased from 26.33% to 23.3%.
As at the date of publication of this report, GPW holds 384,025 Aquis shares at a carrying value of PLN 25,307 thousand.
In the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, impairment losses for assets were adjusted as follows:
impairment allowances for receivables: an increase of PLN 359 thousand (provision additions of PLN 589 thousand, releases of PLN 147 thousand, receivables written off as unenforceable PLN 83 thousand).
Furthermore, in the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, there were the following changes in estimates relating to provisions:
provisions against employee benefits (mainly annual bonuses and reorganisation severance allowances) were increased by PLN 37 thousand (usage of PLN 4,247 thousand, provision additions of PLN 4,284 thousand).
The Act of 12 June 2015 amending the Capital Market Supervision Act and certain other Acts has largely extended the list of entities required to finance supervision and increased the amount of contributions of entities. The Regulation of the Minister of Finance which determines among others the calculation method as well as the terms and conditions of the payment of fees by relevant entities took effect as of 1 January 2016. As a result, the cost paid by GPW will be reduced significantly in 2016 and beyond compared to PLN 21.1 million in 2015.
Following these amendments of regulations, GPW has decided in 2016 to change the timing of recognition of liabilities in respect of fees due to PFSA and of charging the fees to costs. Previously, GPW recognised 1/12 of the annual fee due to PFSA in each month of the year. Starting in 2016, the estimated amount of the entire annual fee due to PFSA is charged to the accounts of GPW of the first quarter of each year.
As a result of the change in the presentation of the fee due to PFSA, GPW's operating expenses in H1 2016 include an annual fee of PLN 6.6 million. The fees in the first six months 2015 stood at PLN 11.1 million.
Details about the changes of fees due to PFSA are presented in the GPW Group's financial statements for the three-month period ended on 31 March 2016.
On 25 May 2016, the Ordinary General Meeting of BondSpot resolved to allocate PLN 2,000 thousand from the 2015 net profit for the payment of dividend. The dividend due to GPW as at 30 June 2016 was PLN 1,940 thousand. The dividend payment date is 19 July 2016.
On 22 June 2016, the Ordinary General Meeting of Centrum Giełdowe resolved to allocate PLN 606 thousand from the 2015 net profit for the payment of dividend. The dividend due to GPW is PLN 150 thousand. The dividend payment date is 30 June 2016.
On 22 June 2016, the Ordinary General Meeting of GPW resolved to distribute the Company's profit of 2015, including an allocation of PLN 99,054 thousand to the payment of a dividend. The dividend per share is PLN 2.36. The dividend record date is 20 July 2016 and the dividend payment date is 4 August 2016.
The liability in respect of the dividend payment was presented in the Company's other current liabilities as at 30 June 2016. The dividend due to the State Treasury is PLN 34,665 thousand.
There were no material events after 30 June 2016, i.e., the balance sheet date, which could impact the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. Group for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016.
