Founded in 1999, our Company is a leading provider of cloud-based business management solutions designed to help our customers manage their business processes more effectively. We offer a comprehensive suite of integrated applications for financial management, customer relationship management, human capital management, and business intelligence. Our solutions are delivered through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, which allows our customers to access our applications over the internet without the need for significant upfront investment in hardware or software.
Our mission is to empower businesses to operate more efficiently and profitably by providing them with innovative and easy-to-use cloud-based solutions. We strive to be a trusted partner to our customers, helping them to navigate the complexities of modern business and achieve their strategic goals.
Over the years, we have experienced significant growth and have expanded our product offerings and customer base. We have invested heavily in research and development to continuously improve our solutions and introduce new features and functionalities. We have also focused on building a strong sales and marketing infrastructure to reach a wider audience and a dedicated customer support team to ensure customer satisfaction.
We operate globally, with customers in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. Our revenue is generated from a combination of subscription fees, professional services, and other related services. The following table presents our revenue by geographic region for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:
| Geographic Area | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | \$ 750,000,000 | \$ 620,000,000 | \$ 510,000,000 |
| Europe | \$ 150,000,000 | \$ 120,000,000 | \$ 100,000,000 |

| Total Revenue | \$ 1,000,000,000 | \$ 820,000,000 | \$ 670,000,000 |
Our long-lived assets are primarily located in North America. As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, our long-lived assets by geographic region were as follows:
| Geographic Area | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|

The following are significant risk factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We operate in a rapidly evolving market and face intense competition. The market for cloud-based business management solutions is dynamic and highly competitive. We compete with a wide range of companies, including large established software vendors, as well as smaller, emerging companies. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources, larger customer bases, and more established brand recognition than we do. This intense competition could lead to price reductions, reduced profit margins, and loss of market share.
We rely on our ability to attract and retain customers. Our continued success depends on our ability to attract new customers and retain our existing customers. If we are unable to attract new customers at a sufficient rate, or if our customer churn rate increases, our revenue and growth prospects could be adversely affected. Factors that could impact customer retention include the performance and reliability of our solutions, the quality of our customer support, and the competitive pricing of our offerings.
Our business model is dependent on recurring revenue. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from subscription fees. If we fail to renew existing subscriptions or are unable to attract new subscribers, our revenue and profitability could be negatively impacted.
We may experience disruptions in our service. As a cloud-based provider, our services are delivered over the internet. Any disruption to our internet infrastructure, including network outages, cyberattacks, or natural disasters, could prevent our customers from accessing our solutions, leading to customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of business.
We are subject to data privacy and security regulations. We collect and store sensitive customer data. Changes in data privacy laws and regulations, or any breaches of our data security, could result in significant legal and financial liabilities, as well as reputational damage.
We may not be able to keep pace with technological changes. The technology landscape is constantly evolving. We must continuously invest in research and development to keep our solutions competitive and relevant. Failure to do so could result in our solutions becoming obsolete.
Our growth depends on the successful development and introduction of new products and features. We must innovate and expand our product offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers and to maintain our competitive edge. Delays in product development or the failure of new products to gain market acceptance could negatively impact our growth.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results. Our quarterly results may fluctuate due to various factors, including the timing of new customer acquisitions, contract renewals, and the seasonality of our business.
We may require additional capital in the future. While we believe our current cash on hand and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital needs for the foreseeable future, we may need to seek additional financing to fund future growth, acquisitions, or for other reasons. Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.
Our ability to manage our growth effectively may be challenged. If we grow rapidly, we may face challenges in managing our operations, including scaling our infrastructure, hiring and retaining qualified personnel, and maintaining our corporate culture.
We are subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations. Our business is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes in these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with them, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Intellectual property risks. We rely on our intellectual property to differentiate our products and services. We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, and we may face challenges in protecting our own intellectual property.
Our stock price may be volatile. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, including our financial results, announcements of new products or services, changes in analyst recommendations, and general market conditions.
None.
Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, where we lease approximately 50,000 square feet of office space. This facility houses our executive, administrative, sales, marketing, and engineering teams.
In addition to our headquarters, we maintain several regional sales and support offices in key markets across North America and Europe. These offices are leased and vary in size depending on the needs of the respective regions.
We do not own any real estate. We believe that our leased facilities are adequate for our current operations and that we will be able to secure additional facilities as needed to support our future growth.
From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Not applicable.
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "XYZ."
As of February 15, 2024, there were approximately 1,200 holders of record of our common stock.
The following Performance Graph is not deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(This section would typically include a graph comparing the cumulative total return of the Company’s stock with a broad equity market index and a peer group index. Since a graph cannot be rendered here, this section is noted as typically present.)
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all earnings for the growth and development of our business. Our board of directors will review our dividend policy periodically, and any future decision to pay cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors that our board deems relevant.
The following table sets forth information regarding purchases of our common stock by us or on our behalf during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:
| Month | Total Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid per Share | Total Dollars Paid per Share | Maximum Remaining Number of Shares or Dollar Amount Available for Future Purchases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October | 10,000 | \$ 50.00 | \$ 500,000 | \$ 10,000,000 |
| November | 15,000 | \$ 51.00 | \$ 765,000 | \$ 9,235,000 |

(Note: The above table is illustrative. Actual 10-K filings will contain specific details of share repurchases if any occurred.)
Our Company is a leading provider of cloud-based business management solutions. We generate revenue primarily through multi-year subscription agreements for our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. Our revenue is recognized as service is provided, typically on a monthly or annual basis. We also generate revenue from professional services, which include implementation, customization, and training services.
Our primary expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs, as well as the cost of revenues associated with providing our cloud-based services. We are committed to investing in research and development to enhance our existing product offerings and develop new solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our sales and marketing efforts are focused on acquiring new customers and expanding our relationships with existing ones.
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the preparation of our financial statements:
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Professional services revenue is recognized as the services are performed. We defer revenue that is collected in advance and recognize it over the period in which the related services are performed.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential credit losses. This allowance is based on our historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and customer-specific information. We regularly review the adequacy of this allowance and make adjustments as necessary.
We capitalize certain costs incurred in the development of new software products and significant upgrades to existing products. Costs incurred during the application development stage, which begins when preliminary project-specific feasibility is established, are capitalized. Research and development costs incurred before the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Amortization of capitalized software begins when the software is available for general release and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is typically three to five years.
Revenue: Total revenue increased by 21.9% from \$820.0 million in 2022 to \$1,000.0 million in 2023. This increase was primarily driven by strong subscription revenue growth from new customer acquisitions and expansion within our existing customer base. Professional services revenue also contributed to the growth, reflecting increased demand for implementation and customization services.
Cost of Revenues: Cost of revenues increased by 18.5% from \$164.0 million in 2022 to \$194.2 million in 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher hosting costs, customer support expenses, and personnel costs associated with delivering our cloud-based solutions. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenues decreased from 20.0% in 2022 to 19.4% in 2023, reflecting economies of scale.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses increased by 25.0% from \$120.0 million in 2022 to \$150.0 million in 2023. This increase reflects our continued investment in enhancing our product suite, developing new features, and maintaining our technological leadership.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 20.0% from \$300.0 million in 2022 to \$360.0 million in 2023. This increase was driven by investments in our sales force expansion, marketing campaigns, and lead generation initiatives to support our revenue growth objectives.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by 15.0% from \$100.0 million in 2022 to \$115.0 million in 2023. This increase was primarily due to investments in our infrastructure, legal and accounting services, and personnel costs to support our expanding operations.
Operating Income: Operating income increased by 20.5% from \$136.0 million in 2022 to \$163.8 million in 2023. The operating margin remained stable at approximately 16.6% in 2023 compared to 16.6% in 2022.
Interest Expense, Net: Interest expense, net, was \$5.0 million in 2023 and \$4.0 million in 2022, reflecting increased borrowings to fund our operations.
Income Before Income Taxes: Income before income taxes was \$158.8 million in 2023, compared to \$132.0 million in 2022.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was \$31.8 million in 2023, representing an effective tax rate of 20.0%, compared to \$26.4 million in 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 20.0%.
Net Income: Net income increased by 20.5% from \$105.6 million in 2022 to \$127.0 million in 2023.
Revenue: Total revenue increased by 22.4% from \$670.0 million in 2021 to \$820.0 million in 2022. This growth was driven by a significant increase in subscription revenue, a testament to our expanding customer base and strong renewal rates. Professional services revenue also saw growth, reflecting demand for our implementation expertise.
Cost of Revenues: Cost of revenues increased by 19.0% from \$136.1 million in 2021 to \$164.0 million in 2022. This increase was mainly due to higher hosting infrastructure costs and expanded customer support operations to serve our growing client base. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue slightly decreased to 20.0% in 2022 from 20.3% in 2021.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses increased by 23.1% from \$97.5 million in 2021 to \$120.0 million in 2022. This increase reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, enhancing our platform's capabilities, and developing new modules to meet market demands.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 24.5% from \$240.9 million in 2021 to \$300.0 million in 2022. This growth is attributed to our strategic expansion of the sales team and increased investment in marketing initiatives aimed at broadening our market reach and customer acquisition.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by 12.5% from \$88.5 million in 2021 to \$100.0 million in 2022. The increase is primarily related to scaling our corporate functions to support business growth, including investments in IT infrastructure and administrative personnel.
Operating Income: Operating income increased by 19.0% from \$106.9 million in 2021 to \$136.0 million in 2022. The operating margin was 16.6% in 2022, slightly down from 16.9% in 2021.
Interest Expense, Net: Interest expense, net, was \$4.0 million in 2022 and \$3.0 million in 2021, reflecting a modest increase in our debt financing.
Income Before Income Taxes: Income before income taxes was \$132.0 million in 2022, compared to \$103.9 million in 2021.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was \$26.4 million in 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 20.0%, compared to \$20.8 million in 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 20.0%.
Net Income: Net income increased by 21.4% from \$83.1 million in 2021 to \$105.6 million in 2022.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from our operations. As of December 31, 2023, we had \$250.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, research and development, sales and marketing activities, capital expenditures, and debt service.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, coupled with the cash generated from our ongoing operations, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was \$160.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, \$135.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and \$110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases are consistent with our growing profitability.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was \$40.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, \$35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and \$30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. These outflows were primarily for purchases of property and equipment, and capitalized software development costs.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was \$20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, related to debt repayments. Net cash provided by financing activities was \$10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, related to new debt borrowings. Net cash used in financing activities was \$5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, related to debt repayments.
As of December 31, 2023, our significant contractual obligations were as follows:
| Obligation | Less than 1 year | 1-3 years | 4-5 years | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating Leases | \$ 5,000,000 | \$ 10,000,000 | \$ 5,000,000 | \$ 20,000,000 |
| Debt Repayments | \$ 10,000,000 | \$ 20,000,000 | \$ 10,000,000 | \$ 40,000,000 |
| Unconditional Purchase Obligations | \$ 2,000,000 | \$ 3,000,000 | \$ 1,000,000 | \$ 6,000,000 |
| Total | \$ 17,000,000 | \$ 33,000,000 | \$ 16,000,000 | \$ 66,000,000 |
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe will have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, however, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The year 2024. was special for the Institut IGH as we celebrated 75 years of existence, which is a great achievement for the company & the Croatian civil engineering industry. Although, due to certain circumstances, the formal celebration did not take place, this was a moment when we all came together to reflect on our rich heritage and contributions to the development of the profession, Croatia, and the region. The 75th anniversary was marked by our employees and departments in their own way, in line with the values that reflect the spirit of our IGH – humility as a virtue.
However, the year 2024 was challenging. It was concerning that infrastructure investments made by our main partners, Hrvatske Autoceste & Hrvatske vode, continue to drop in 2024 as well. Despite this, we have a strong portfolio of contracts. As part of the program to open new markets in Italy, we started large-scale design projects with ANAS SPA by signing a four-year framework agreement with a net value for IGH of 2,000,000.00 million EUR. During 2024, we signed 157 new contracts and annexes with a total value worth around 12.9 million EUR, and realized 19.3 million EUR in revenue. Compared to 2023, in 2024, business revenues were 6% higher than the previous year despite extremely challenging public procurement conditions considering the competition and prices being offered and contracted.
Additionally, 175 employees received a coefficient increase, which for the year means an increase in costs of 410,000 EUR gross. The number of employees working at INSTITUT IGH, d.d. amounted to 339 employees, with 12 more employees working in our foreign branch offices. This represents a reduction of 33 employees compared to December 31st 2023, when the Company had 384 employees. We believe this to be an optimal number given current market trends.
At the beginning of 2024, measures and actions were taken to continue resolving the remaining debt from the pre-bankruptcy settlement. In Q1 of 2024, the company fully settled all obligations based on the pre-bankruptcy settlement as of December 31st 2023. Furthermore, in Q2 of 2024, new members of the Management Board were appointed, Ms. Marija Đuroković, Ms. Tatjana Bičanić, Mr. Josip Majer, and I, Robert Petrosian, was reappointed as the President of the Management Board with mandate duration of 4 years. After adopting the 2020-2030 Company Development Strategy and forming a strategy implementation team, we developed an annual plan with four key areas: 1.# THE 2024 ANNUAL REPORT

Table 3. A list of projects in year 2024.
During the year, the Company finalized the acquisition of RADELJEVIĆ d.o.o. and IGH CONSULTING d.o.o. companies, with the aim of recapitalizing the Company, consequently creating all the necessary prerequisites to initiate the end the pre-bankruptcy procedure.
VISION: To be one of the leading engineering companies in the region and beyond, whose employees are the leading professionals and satisfied shareholders, improving people's quality of life and the quality of the environment on a daily basis through innovative solutions.
MISSION: Resolve engineering challenges in a timely manner and to the satisfaction of our clients using knowledge, innovation and a professional and responsible approach.
A new breakthrough for INSTITUT IGH, d.d., based on our key values. Our direction in the next decade is to maintain a leading position on traditional Croatian and East European markets by providing design, supervision, project management and laboratory services namely in sectors where we have demonstrated our expertise such as road and railway infrastructure. The Company bases its comparative edge on the comprehensiveness of its civil engineering services, which means a faster and efficient project implementation for the client, while maintaining a high level of quality. The strategy plans for four key directions:
1. Employee orientation and mentorship;
2. New markets and business segments;
3. Scientific and research activity;
4. Profitability.
Employees as our greatest value
Experience gained on large and demanding projects, generating professionals ready to manage ever more complex projects has to stay in the company. This creates a valuable base of experience and expertise which makes the foundation of long-term business sustainability. Strengthening qualified personnel through the development and education of existing personnel and employing new team leads and core staff as well as junior, entry-level engineers will continue to be our focus.# THE 2024 ANNUAL REPORT
Ensuring cash flow stability and further company development-related financial activities, along with a complete fulfillment of pre-bankruptcy settlement obligations and leaving the pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure itself, are all prerequisites for facilitating operational business. Through increased engagement on all current and new external markets, we aim to achieve long-term financial stability in the Company.
In the near future, we will strategically turn to the West, the Middle East, Central Africa (MENA), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the central Asian market. Offers are being prepared in ex-CIS countries, in Central Asian countries we are examining markets in cooperation with Korean partners, and in MENA countries we are establishing contacts with local partners.
With new market trends in mind, last year we began adapting our strategy to reflect both market and geopolitical changes. Aside from maintaining four key directions, the Company plans to dedicate itself more to design, supervision, laboratory and R&D activities as well as to further digitalization, promotion and provision of BIM services.
On 31 December 2024, the Company was organized as follows:
Considering the context in which it operates, the Company's Management analysed a number of material topics of relevance. Considering the scope of services provided on the engineering consultancy market, three principal topics were recognized which have an impact on the economy and the society in general. The Company primarily provides services on large infrastructural projects that have an exceptional impact on the economy, society and people in general. When providing this type of service, it is extremely important to take into account all possible consequences. For example, professional supervision of motorway or bridge construction has a great socio-economic significance, but it is also significant for all the people who work on such projects. Therefore, it is legally recognized that every company must have an adequate and professional workforce that will be able to give clear and unambiguous instructions regarding the health and safety of both its own employees and those of partners and subcontractors. Incidents on construction sites can have negative consequences in terms of personal injury or extension of construction deadlines, which also brings economic consequences. On the other hand, establishing valid procedures and processes in place can mean that the project will be carried out within the given time frame and without consequences.
The Company is guided by the Control Management System principles, such as:
The Company's operations are geographically divided among the head office in Zagreb and three Regional Centers (Osijek, Rijeka, Split) with the largest civil engineering laboratory in this part of Europe as their integral part, undertaking testing and calibration procedures. This raises the awareness that we must consider our own impact on the environment. Therefore, Management Systems such as:
have been set up within the Company. Analyzing the Company’s age structure, it is evident that the older work force dominates demographically. Therefore, professional training and mentoring have been recognized through Strategic Positioning as one of the primary goals in order for the Company to remain a leader in providing consulting and engineering services in the Republic of Croatia and beyond. It was precisely the need for professional training that was dominantly recognized as a need during the employee satisfaction survey.
Considering all of the above, the Company recognizes the following three key areas:
ursuant to provisions of Article 21a of the Accounting Act (OG 78/15, 120/16), EU Directive 2013/34/EU and the 2017/C 215/01 EU Commission Guidelines on non-financial reporting (methodology for reporting non-financial information), the Company included all relevant information on business activities which are expected to be included in the non-financial report in its Annual Report. INSTITUT IGH, d.d. is particularly proud of the long-standing tradition of implementing and certification of the Quality Management System in accordance with the standard HRN EN ISO 9001:2015; the Environmental Management System in accordance with the standard HRN EN ISO 14001:2015; Energy Management System in accordance with the standard HRN EN ISO 50001:2018 and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System in accordance with the standard HRN ISO 45001:2015.# Management Systems and Quality Assurance
Recertification of the management system according to HRN EN ISO 14001:2015 and HRN EN ISO 45001:2015 took place in February 2024, alongside the regular surveillance of the HRN EN ISO 9001:2015 and HRN EN ISO 50001 management systems. The Institut IGH received confirmation of compliance with the requirements of all the mentioned standards at the end of February 2024 from the certification body DNV. Additionally, in October of last year, IGH underwent a DNV surveillance for certification according to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard for the information security management system, and the confirmation of compliance was received in November. Given that the expiration of the certification for the HRN EN ISO 9001:2015 standard is in early December, the company DNV conducted an audit according to the requirements of this standard, as well as the standards HRN EN ISO 14001:2015, HRN EN ISO 45001:2015, and HRN EN ISO 50001 (surveillance audit). Confirmation of compliance with the requirements was received on December 18th 2024. The next surveillance audit for the HRN EN ISO 27001:2015 standard is scheduled for May 2025, while for the other standards, it will take place in the fall of 2025.
Laboratory activities have also been conducted for many years in accordance with the requirements of the HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard at multiple locations across Croatia (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek, Pula, and Varaždin). All organizational units perform testing/calibration/sampling in both accredited and non-accredited areas. In 2024, there was no surveillance by the Croatian Accreditation Agency (HAA) for testing laboratories, but surveillance is scheduled for February 2025. The quality of the metrology laboratory was confirmed during the accreditation surveillance by the Croatian Accreditation Agency in April 2024, with certificate 2070 for 16 methods related to the following measurement quantities: force, length, frequency, mass, and temperature.
The integrated management system at the IGH Institute, d.d., is applied to all business processes and locations, and as a requirement of modern business, it ensures continuous process improvement, socially responsible operations, and the development of service quality. INSTITUT IGH, d.d. continues to promote socially responsible business practices through the development of its business processes via reorganization and digitalization, by focusing on employees, encouraging and advancing scientific research, and demonstrating environmental responsibility. In alignment with global goals for reducing carbon and water footprints and promoting responsible energy consumption, the Institute commits to improving its own efficiency through defined objectives. The Institut IGH, d.d. will continue to permanently enhance its business model in the interest of customers, investors, employees, and suppliers, as well as the broader social community.
The integration of all management systems in INSTITUT IGH, d.d. continued in 2024, by upgrading the integrated management system with the information security system. This facilitated the overall operation of the management system, increased its efficiency, reduced costs, and reduced the number of management system documents, thus bringing the management systems closer to the staff and facilitating access and understanding. As part of the management system, several training sessions were conducted for all new employees to raise awareness about the management systems, the contribution of each employee to the system's efficiency, and the policies on quality, information security, environment, energy, and occupational health and safety. Two integrated internal audits were carried out at the Osijek and Rijeka locations, covering the general management system, environmental management system, and energy management system. Extensive activities were initiated at the Osijek location in response to issues identified during the DNV audit. Efforts began to address the timing adjustments for heating at the location, which included replacing the main control valve and the control device. During 2025, results in heat savings are expected, which are projected to exceed the investment made in the system. Independently, the laboratories conducted internal audits of their systems according to HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and internal audits of methods based on previously approved plans.
The certification body DNV conducted an audit for HRN EN ISO 14001, HRN EN ISO 45001 (recertification), HRN EN ISO 9001, and HRN EN ISO 50001 (surveillance audit) in February 2024, and in December for the recertification of the management system according to HRN EN ISO 9001. All certificates continued to be valid without any reduction in scope. The surveillance audit for the information security management system according to ISO 27001 was conducted in October 2024, and a new certificate was issued for the mentioned system.
Following this, a new Quality Policy was issued in November, which has been expanded to include topics such as sustainable development, respect for human rights, and workplace harassment.
INSTITUT IGH, d.d. bases its activities on business standards, social responsibility and certified Quality Management System in accordance with the requirements of the standard ISO 9001:2015 within the framework of an integrated management system. The laboratories meet the all competency requirements and represent the largest construction laboratory in Croatia. All laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for laboratory and field testing, research services, calibration of measuring instruments, and are accredited according to the HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
There was no assessment by the Croatian Accreditation Agency (HAA) for the testing laboratories. The metrology laboratory underwent an assessment by the Croatian Accreditation Agency in April 2024. The methods for calibrating length measuring instruments, force, vibration tables with measuring systems, non-automatic weighing instruments, and temperature chambers were reviewed. The assessors recommended the continuation of accreditation for all methods after addressing non-conformities, which was completed in June 2024.
Through the environmental management system, Institut IGH d.d. in 2024 continued to reduce negative environmental impacts to a minimum, taking into account climate changes and prospects of the life cycle of every product. In accordance with the requirements of our clients, suppliers, employees, business partners and other interested parties, and related to the range of activities we are engaged in, we estimated that the ecological footprint is relatively small. We have thus dedicated ourselves to the operations which we can significantly influence. Our environmental management system, according to ISO 14001, but also energy according to ISO 50001 forces us to look for improvement opportunities through environmental aspects, but also through risk assessment and resolving nonconformities.
Principal waste management goals in Institut IGH were connected to raising awareness about waste management through the study of options and possibilities or waste recycling and recovery. In 2024, the following types and quantities of waste were managed:
| Type of waste | ZG (t) | ST (t) | OS (t) | RI (t) | Generated waste (t) | Recovered (t) | Waste disposal (t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed construction waste (Concrete, aggregate, brick, tiles/roofing and ceramics) | 58,23 | 12,66 | 11,86 | 36,09 | 118,69 | 118,69 | - |

| Total | 127,812 | 12,76 | 13,58 | 36,61 | 190,762 | 135,62 | 53,83 |
The inputs for the data in Table 1 are reported data from the Pollutant Register and Transfer Register (PRTR) and records on the generation and handling of waste. Waste recycling companies do not classify construction waste according to other key codes but treat it all as mixed construction waste, as they recycle it under this category. Materials such as stone wool, concrete, bricks, tiles, aggregate, polystyrene, and similar materials that arrive at the Institut IGH, d.d., as samples for testing are returned to production for reuse, thereby creating additional—longer value for the product. By extending the lifespan of construction products, the amount of waste is reduced, directly lessening the environmental impact and supporting the circular economy model.
Significant progress has been made in recycling waste generated from the processes of the Institut IGH. In 2024, 71.43% of the waste was recycled, compared to 58.82% in 2023. This was achieved by selecting new service providers and agreements with waste management companies that adjusted their processes to recycle more waste and dispose of less. All waste is handed over to authorized waste collectors, meaning it is managed outside of the IGH. However, we do not have access to information on what happens to this waste afterward or how the recycling or disposal is carried out.# Environmental data (DISCLOSURE 305)
Direct greenhouse gross emissions are displayed in Table 2.

Gasses included in the calculation: CO2, CH4. Source of calculation and used emission factors and GWP potential rate: EIB Project Carbon Footprint. The year 2021 was taken as the base year since it is the only one relevant. This also applies for the monitoring of energy consumption. A significant reduction of greenhouse gas emission which is a consequence of changes in employee behavior and business processes, and particularly of a more rational use of vehicles, can be seen. Regarding the indirect gross market energy GHG emissions (scope 2) and gross other indirect GHG emissions (scope 3), data are not available or not applicable.
The energy management system requires an energy audit per location, monitoring of energy consumption and compliance with legal requirements, in accordance with the ISO 50001 standard. The energy review carried out as part of the energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 includes the following IGH locations of business: The headquarters in Zagreb, RC Split, RC 25 T H E 2 0 2 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T • Osijek, RC Rijeka, with some limitations. Regional center Split was not included in the analysis since 2022 because we do not have the data on energy consumption for that location. Other locations are energy-nonsignificant consumers and are not covered by the analysis. As far as renewable sources are concerned, they are currently not being used, although this is one of the goals set for 2025. Energy consumption in 2024 in INSTITUT IGH, D.D. is shown in table 3. N.B.: These data do not include the consumption in Split because we do not have comparable data since 2022.
Table 3: Energy consumption in 2024
| Groups of energy sources | Energy source | Consumption per unit of measurement | Consumption in kWh | Consumption in J |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transport | Diesel | 139.551 L | 1.493.196 | 5,376*1012 |
| Heating | Heat | 1.912.555 kWh | 1.912.555 | 6,885*1012 |

| Water | Water | 6022 m3 | - | - |
| Total | All | - | 4.648.631 | 1,674*1013 |
A comparison of the total energy consumption shows that heating consumes the most energy. A graph showing the consumption of water, electricity and heating (Picture 1) as well as the consumption of fuel (Picture 2) shows that all forms of energy consumptions have a decreasing tendency in last recent years.

Picture 2.: The 2018-2024 fuel consumption
All the energy consumed in the Company comes from non-renewable sources, while the consumption of energy from renewable sources is planned in year 2025. In conclusion, energy consumption is monitored and analyzed, and improvements in energy savings are evident. The biggest savings in energy sources were visible in fuel consumption compared to the previous year. Regarding other energy sources which significantly impact energy efficiency, savings are also visible, although 2021 and 2024 can hardly compare with historical data (2018-2019-2020) because the energy management system was only introduced in 2019 and energy consumption started to be monitored. The year 2020 was the „COVID-19 year“(work from home, self-isolation, isolation…). Therefore, 2021 was taken as the base year. In addition, the owner of the building in which the Split RC is located, doesn't keep track of the energy consumption of all the users, but includes the price of bills in the rent and energy consumption can't be precisely determined.
Energy indicators are defined as the relationship between energy consumption and the relevant variables affecting consumption. The relevant variable here is Institut IGH revenue. The 2021-2024 data are displayed in table 4.

| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2024-2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total energy consumption (J) | 2,278*1013 | 2,01581*1013 | 1,6806*1013 | 1,674*1013 | -6,04*1012 |
| IGH revenue (EUR) | 24.217.027 | 24.734.882 | 27.954.367 | 20.548.164 | -3.668.863 |
| EnPi (J/EUR) | 94.066,05 | 81.4966,49 | 60.119,41 | 81.467,13 | -12598,91 |
The total energy consumption includes total energy used for heating, cooling and transport. The implementation of the Energy Management System according to ISO 50001 significantly influenced the reduction of energy consumption, primarily through employee education etc. A decreasing tendency in energy consumption is obvious and it is growing every year.
In order to achieve concrete steps towards sustainable business operations and keeping in mind the importance of water as a resource, we understand the importance of water management. However, by assessing the risk of impact on waters (environmental aspects according to ISO 14001, risk assessment according to ISO 50001) and exploitation of this resource, we have come to the conclusion that Institut IGH has a minimal water footprint. Water use is limited to sanitary needs and cooling of samples during a testing procedure at one of our locations. The Company purchases and intakes water from a utility company and returns the used water into the drainage system. It is a closed drainage system and should have no losses. Water consumption is monitored in absolute amounts and through energy indicators (taking into account relevant variables). Absolute water consumption in megaliters, in IGH amounts to: 6,277 ML. This information should not be taken as exact since data on water consumption in RC Split is unavailable, and data for RC Rijeka reflect only a part in the total water consumption of the building in which IGH has its offices. Data is collected from the bills received from the utility company supplying water. IGH has one sprinkler tank in Zagreb which contains 0,1115 Ml of water. The water quantity in the sprinkler tank did not change during the period in question.
The established system of management of occupational health and safety at work provided a framework for managing risks and opportunities, ensured healthy workplaces for employees and reduced the number of injuries and work-related diseases. In 2024, the focus was on risks directly related to work processes. Therefore, internal monitoring by occupational safety experts was intensified in processes identified as higher risk through the Risk Assessment. The employer's authorized occupational safety officers were informed about the findings of the internal inspections, and corrective actions were initiated, most of which have been accepted and closed.

The performance of the occupational safety system is monitored through key system indicators, which include workplace injuries and fatalities, as well as lost workdays and hours relative to the total number of hours worked. Data including 2024 is provided in Table 6. In 2024, we had two injuries recognized as workplace injuries. One occurred during fieldwork, and the other happened while leaving work in an area not under the employer's control.

Pored već naznačenih rizika u bilješkama uz temeljna financijska izvješća, uprava Društva izvješćuje i o sljedećim rizicima:
The company considers all significant information related to key risk factors that it is aware of and that are important for the company's ability to continue operating under the assumption of unlimited business continuity. The main risks are outlined below:
A) Risk of settlement of obligations from the pre-bankruptcy settlement – concluded in 2024
The Company concluded the pre-bankruptcy settlement on December 5th 2013, before the Commercial Court in Zagreb, case number 72. Stpn-305/2013. The settlement became final on December 28th 2013. By the decision of the Commercial Court in Zagreb, Tt-24/34060-2 of October 3rd 2024, the entry under serial number 4 – the approval of the pre-bankruptcy settlement for the registered company INSTITUT IGH, Joint Stock Company for Research and Development in Construction, Zagreb, Janka Rakuše 1, MBS: 080000959, OIB: 79766124714, registered by the decision of the Commercial Court in Zagreb under number Stpn-305/2013 on December 5th 2013, based on the report of the independent auditor from July 5th 2024, is deleted. The obligations based on the pre- bankruptcy settlement as of December 31st 2023, amounted to 39 thousand EUR, and were fully settled on February 15th 2024. The audit of the settlement of obligations from the pre-bankruptcy settlement was carried out during June 2024.
B) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk from changes in the exchange rate of EUR against other currencies, with respect to the balances of received loans, payables to suppliers, and receivables from customers. The company is additionally exposed to changes in the EUR exchange rate against KM, GEL, and AMD due to operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as subsidiaries in Georgia and Armenia. Other currencies do not have a significant impact on the business. To avoid currency risk, sensitivity analysis is carried out, which includes only open monetary positions in foreign currencies and their recalculation at the end of the period based on percentage changes in exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the currency.
C) Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk is the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument due to changes in market rates relative to the interest rates applied to the financial instrument. The company uses loans with predominantly fixed interest rates defined in the agreements and is not exposed to the risk of interest rate changes. The company does not use instruments for active protection against interest rate risk exposure.
D) Credit risk
The credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause financial losses to the other party due to non-fulfillment of an obligation, either in full or in part, at its maturity. Non-fulfillment of an obligation would jeopardize the company’s liquidity and reduce the value of its assets. As of December 31th 2024, the financial assets that potentially expose the company to credit risk consist mainly of loans provided, receivables from customers, and other receivables.
E) Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company will face difficulties in meeting its obligations, arising during the general financing of the company’s activities and managing asset positions. It includes the risk of being unable to finance assets according to appropriate maturities and prices, as well as the risk of being unable to sell assets at a reasonable price and within an appropriate time frame. Financial instruments also include investments that may be illiquid and that the company cannot quickly liquidate to meet its liquidity requirements. To ensure necessary liquidity, the management actively monitors and manages the processes of receivable collection and planned outflows.

| During 2024, the Institut IGH, d.d., continued to implement both ongoing and new activities in the field of scientific research and innovation. By a decision of the Management Board on September 27th 2024, the Scientific Research Council welcomed new associate members. In anticipation of appropriate legal frameworks and standardized methods, work continued in the field of microplastics, including educating colleagues working in this area through seminars. Contact was established with the Faculty of Science (PMF), Department of Geology, for which microplastics is one of the specialized fields. Two colleagues obtained the DGNB certificate for sustainable construction in Europe. The implementation of laboratory tests began on the fresh and hardened properties on concrete with different types of low-CO2 cement. As a member of the community, we submitted an application for the HORIZON project LIFE-2024-CET call, Project 101216116 — LIFE24-CET-BETTER. Collaboration was initiated with the startup named Arkensight, with the goal of upgrading the SGG program and improve the infrastructure monitoring system. Tests were conducted as part of the "Innovation Vouchers for SMEs" program on the topic of testing concrete mixtures with the addition of new phase-change materials (PCM) to achieve a higher level of energy efficiency in concrete used in residential or commercial buildings. Two project proposals were submitted for Proof of Concept (POC): an innovative solution for inspecting and detecting road surface damage, and the validation of an innovative concept in the development of concrete pavers with integrated phase-change materials. | ||

The Management Board of INSTITUT IGH, JSC, Zagreb, Janka Rakuše 1 and its subsidiaries (hereinafter: IGH Group) shall ensure that the Company’s 2024 annual consolidated and separate financial statements are prepared in accordance with the current Croatian Accounting Act and International Financial Reporting Standards, which are defined by the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. They shall provide a true and fair view of the financial position, operating results, and changes in capital and cash flows of the IGH Group for the subject period. After making enquiries, the Management Board has a reasonable expectation that the IGH Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Management Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the IGH Group. In preparing the annual financial statements, the responsibilities of the Management Board include:
* the selection and then consistent application of appropriate accounting policies in accordance with current financial reporting standards;
* providing reasonable and prudent judgments and assessments;
* the preparation of annual financial statements on a going concern basis, unless this assumption is inappropriate.# Independent Auditor's Report to the Owner
We have audited the financial statements of INSTITUT IGH, JSC, Zagreb (“the Company”), which include the financial statement as at December 31, 2024, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows, the statement of changes in capital for the year then ended, as well as the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements fairly and truthfully present the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union (IFRS).
We have conducted our audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards (IAS). Our responsibilities pursuant to these standards are described in more detail in the Auditor's Responsibilities in the Audit of Annual Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements section of our Auditor's report. We are independent of the Company, in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International Independency Standards issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) (The IESBA Code), as well as in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant for our audit of financial statements in the Republic of Croatia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide the basis for our opinion.
We would like to draw attention to Note 2.6 „Going Concern“ accompanying these financial statements. As at December 31, 2024, the IGH Group's short-term liabilities exceed the short-term assets by EUR 3.170 thousand (EUR 4.624 thousand in 2023). The Management Board of the IGH Group is making efforts to resolve the current situation and improve the Company's business and financial position, all for the purpose of doing business under the assumption of going concern. Our opinion has not been modified on this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that were, in our professional judgement, of greatest importance in our audit of financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key Audit Matter | Our Audit Procedures |
|---|---|
| Recognition of revenue | Revenue from sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to EUR 17.433 thousand (EUR 16.375 thousand in 2023). As at December 31, 2024, trade receivables amounted to EUR 3.464 thousand (EUR 3.359 thousand in 2023). See Note 3.3. Recognition of Revenue and Note 4. Information on segments in related annual financial statements. The Company's income comes from the sale of services in civil engineering. Revenue is a key measure used to assess the performance of a Company's operations and the amount of transactions has a significant impact on the financial statements. A risk exists that revenues are presented in amounts higher than actually realized, as well as the risk that income is recognized for an inadequate period in order to better the results of the period. In view of the above, we considered that the existence, accuracy and completeness of income as well as its distribution in the proper period required our increased attention and as such we considered it a key audit issue. |
Management is responsible for other information. Other information includes the Management Report and the Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code, included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not include other information.
In relation to our audit of the financial statements, it is our responsibility to read other information and, in doing so, to consider whether other information is significantly contradictory to the financial statements or to our findings gained in the audit, or if they otherwise seem significantly misrepresented.
As regards the Management Report and the statement on the implementation of the Corporate Governance Code, we also carried out the procedures prescribed by the Accounting Act. Those procedures include verification that the Management Report has been drawn up in accordance with Article 24. of the Accounting Act and whether the statement on the implementation of the Corporate Governance Code contains the data referred to in Article 25. of the Accounting Act.
Based on the conducted procedures, to the extent to which we are able to estimate, we report that:
1. the information in the attached Management Report and the Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code have been harmonized, in all significant aspects, with the accompanying financial statements;
2. the attached Management Report has been drawn up in accordance with Article 24. of the Accounting Act; and
3. the attached Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code includes information defined in Article 25. of the Accounting Act.
Based on the knowledge and understanding of the Company's business and its environment, gained while auditing the annual consolidated financial statements, we are obliged to report if we find that there are serious misrepresentations in the attached Management Report, and the Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code. In that sense, we have nothing to report.
The management shall be responsible for drawing up the annual financial statements that present true and fair facts in accordance with IFRS and for those internal controls that the Management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misrepresentation as a result of fraud or error.
When drawing up the annual financial statements, the Management is responsible for the estimate of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, for the publishing, if applicable, of the matters related to going concern and the use of going concern basis of accounting, unless the Management plans to liquidate the Company or has no real alternative but to do so.
Those in charge of management are responsible for overseeing of the financial reporting process established by the IGH Group.
Our objectives are to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether there are serious misrepresentations due to fraud or error in the annual financial statements as a whole and to issue an Independent Auditor's Report including our Qualified Opinion. A reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is no guarantee that an audit done in accordance with IASs will always reveal a serious misrepresentation when there is one.
Misrepresentations can occur due to fraud or error and are considered significant if it can reasonably be expected that, individually, or cumulatively, these misrepresentations influence the economic decisions of the users made on the basis of those annual financial statements.
As an integral part of an audit in accordance with IAS, we make professional judgements and maintain professional skepticism during an audit. We also:
• Recognize and estimate risks of serious misrepresentation in the financial statements, due to fraud or error, form and undertake audit procedures as a reaction to those risks and obtain audit evidence that are sufficient and appropriate to form the basis of our opinion. The risk of non-disclosure of a significant misrepresentation due to fraud or error outweighs the risk of error, because fraud can include secret agreements, forgery, deliberate omission misrepresentation or avoidance of internal controls.# Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
A Report based the requirement of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 of supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format.
A Report on the Auditor's assurance on the harmonization of the financial statements, prepared pursuant to the provisions of Article 462., Paragraph 5. of the Capital Markets Act (Official Gazette, no. 65/18, 17/20, 83/21 and 151/22) by applying the requirement of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 specifying a single electronic reporting format for the issuer (hereinafter: the ESEF Regulation).
We conducted our engagement with the expression of a reasonable belief as to whether the financial statements were prepared for the purposes of public disclosure pursuant to Article 462., Paragraph 5. of the Capital Market Act, which are contained in the attached electronic file Grupa IGH-2024-12-31-en in all material respects prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
The IGH Group Management Board is responsible for the preparation and content of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulation on ESEF. In addition, the IGH Group's Management Board is responsible for the maintenance of internal control systems that reasonably ensure the preparation of the financial statements without significant discrepancies between them and the requirements contained in the ESEF regulation, whether due to fraud, or error.
The IGH Group's Management Board is also responsible for:
* Disclosure to the public of the financial statements contained in the Annual Report in the current XHTML format, and
* the selection and use of XBRL codes in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation on ESEF.
Those in charge of management are responsible for supervising the preparation of the financial statements in ESEF format as part of the financial reporting process.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion, based on the audit evidence collected, whether the financial statements are free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
We conducted this engagement with the expression of a reasonable conviction, in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagement (ISAE) 3000 (amended) - engagements with the expression of convictions other than audits or insights into historical financial information.
The nature, timeframe and scope of the chosen procedures depend on the auditor's judgement. A reasonable assurance represents a high level of assurance, but does not ensure that the scope of testing will reveal every material discrepancy with the ESEF Regulation.
We carried out the following activities as part of the selected procedures:
* we read the requirements of the ESEF Regulation;
* we have gained an understanding of the internal controls of the company relevant for the application of the requirements of the ESEF Regulation;
* we have identified and assessed the risks of material non-compliance with the ESEF Regulation due to fraud or error; and
* on this basis, we developed and implemented procedures to respond to the risks assessed and to obtain a reasonable assurance to express our conclusion.
The aim of our procedures was to assess whether:
* the financial statements included in the Annual Report were prepared using the valid XHTML format;,
* the data contained in the financial statements and required by the EESEF Regulation, are marked and whether all markings meet the following requirements:
* use of the XBRL mark-up language;
* basic taxonomy listed in the ESEF regulation with the closest accounting meaning was used unless an additional taxonomy element in accordance with Annex IV of the ESEF regulation was created;
* the mark-up is in accordance with the common mark-up rules pursuant to the ESEF Regulation.
We believe that the audit evidence we have gathered is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, based on conducted procedures and obtained evidence, the financial statements presented in the ESEF format, contained in the above-mentioned attached electronic file and pursuant to the provision of Article 462., Paragraph 5. of the Capital Markets Act, prepared for public disclosure, in all significant respects are in accordance with the requirements of Articles 3., 4., and 6. of the ESEF Regulation for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In addition to this conclusion, as well as the opinion contained in this Independent Auditor's Report for the accompanying financial statements and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, we do not express any opinion on the information contained in these statements or on other information contained in the above-mentioned file.

The items included in the financial statements of the Group are reported in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (functional currency). The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 were first prepared in thousands EUR. The rounding level shown in the financial statements is in thousands EUR.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management Board to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts published for assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which forms the starting point for creating estimates of the value of assets and liabilities, which cannot be obtained from other sources. Actual results may differ from such estimates. These estimates and respective assumptions are subject to regular reviews. The impact of an estimate correction is recognized in the period in which the estimate was corrected if the correction affects only the period in which it was made or in the period in which the correction was made and future periods if the correction affects current and future periods. Judgments made by the Management Board in the application of IFRS, which have a significant impact on the financial statements and judgments where the risk of materially significant adjustments in the next year is high, are listed in note 3.1.
During 2013, the Company initiated a pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure, through which it reached an agreement with creditors on the restructuring of liabilities and limited exposure to certain related companies. Independently of the financial restructuring, the Company then carried out a capital increase through the issuance of new shares and, in order to ensure the necessary liquidity, initiated the sale of certain assets. The pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure was successfully completed by the Decision of the Commercial Court in Zagreb No. 72. Stpn- 305/13 dated December 5th 2013, which approved the conclusion of the Pre-Bankruptcy Settlement between the debtor Institut IGH, JSC and the creditors of the Pre-Bankruptcy Settlement. The Pre-Bankruptcy Settlement became final on December 28th 2013. The impacts and fulfillment of the Pre-Bankruptcy Settlement plan are described in detail in the Note 35. As of February 15th 2024, the Company settled all obligations under the pre-bankruptcy settlement, which as of December 31, 2023 amounted to EUR 38 thousand. In order to improve the profitability of operations and core business, over the past years the Company has implemented a number of operational restructuring measures and has had a more active market access. IGH Group recorded a decrease in sales revenues in 2023 compared to 2022 of EUR 1.058 thousand, but recorded operating profit in the amount of EUR 1.186 thousand (2022 profit amounting to EUR 4.985 thousand). The IGH Group's capital is positive at EUR 4.179 thousand (in 2022 the capital was negative at EUR 3.878 thousand). On December 31st 2023, short-term liabilities of the IGH Group exceed short-term assets by EUR 3.170 thousand (2022: short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets by EUR 4.624 thousand). Since the final pre-bankruptcy agreement to December 31st 2023, the Company paid off a total of Euro 56.985 thousand of liabilities incurred before the start of the Pre-bankruptcy agreement proceedings. During 2023, the Company paid off Euro 1.414 thousand of PIK debt, Euro 9.316 thousand of senior debt and Euro 3.378 thousand of respective interest. With the balance sheet date, Senior debt due amounts to Euro 38 thousand which has been fully settled by February 15th 2024. These financial reports have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern basis. In 2025, the IGH Group’s Management Board continues to adjust and change key business

processes and activities that are necessary for ensuring the quality and stability of further business, with a focus on strategic goals and future development of the Company. In addition to all of the above, the Board considers that on the basis of business plans and concluded contracts, the Company is capable of continuing its operations. The closure of the pre-bankruptcy settlement was formally completed and confirmed by the Commercial Court in Zagreb on January 17th 2025. Below given is an outline of significant accounting policies adopted for the preparation of these financial statements. These accounting policies have been consistently applied for all periods included in these statements.
Preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management to produce judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts disclosed for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Estimates and related assumptions are continuously reviewed. The impact of an estimate correction shall be recognized in the period during which the estimate has been corrected and in future periods if the correction affects current and future periods.
(i) Recognition of revenue
The Company and the IGH Group recognize revenues and costs under contracts from the design activity based on an assessment of the degree of completion of the contracted operations at the balance sheet date, which requires a certain degree of judgement.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC
Subsidiaries are companies over which the Company has business control, directly or indirectly. Control is achieved when the Company has the right to manage the company's key activities, and as a consequence is exposed to variable returns as a result of such activities. Investments in subsidiaries are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently at cost less impairment. Impairment testing of investments in subsidiaries is carried out on an annual basis.
Associated companies are companies in which the Company has significant influence, but does not have control. Significant influence is the power to participate in decisions about the financial and business policies of the entity in which the investment was made, but it does not represent control or joint control of these policies. Investments in associated companies are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently at cost less impairment. Impairment testing of investments in subsidiaries is carried out on an annual basis.
The balance and transactions among Group members and all unrealized profit from transactions among Group members are eliminated at consolidation of the financial statements. Unrealized profit from transactions with companies with shareholdings and mutual companies where the Company shares control with other owners is eliminated up to the Company share level in such companies. Unrealized profit from transactions with companies with shareholdings is eliminated by a decrease of investment into that company. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized profit but only up to the amount which does not represent permanent decrease of assets.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are included in the comprehensive capital of the Group. Losses from non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are added to the non-controlling interests in situations when the non-controlling interest are shown with a negative value. Adjustments of non- controlling interest are based on the proportional amount of net assets of the subsidiary without goodwill adjustment and recognition of profit or loss in the profit and loss account. Transactions with non-controlling interest which result in loss of control over the subsidiary are treated by the Group as transactions with majority owners of the Group When purchasing shares from non- controlling interest, the difference between the paid sum and the respective gained share of the book value of the subsidiary's net assets is shown as capital. Gains and losses from sale of non-controlling interest are also shown as capital.
After the loss of control over a subsidiary, the Group ceases to recognize its assets and liabilities, any minority interest or other components of capital and reserves. Any surplus or deficit resulting from loss of control is recognized in the profit and loss. If the Group retains a part in the subsidiary, such part is shown at fair value at the day the control ceases to exist. After that, it is shown as investment valued according to the equity method or as financial assets available for sale, depending on the level of retained influence.
Goodwill, created by business merger is recognized as cost at the date of acquisition, decreased by any loss owing to decreased value. For the purpose of testing for decrease, goodwill is distributed to every cash generating unit of the Group (or groups of such units) where benefits from synergy, i.e. merger are expected. Cash-generating units to which goodwill is distributed undergo annual check for decreased value, or more often if there are indications of its possible decrease in value. If the reimbursable amount of the cash-generating unit is lower than its book value, the loss created by the decrease is distributed so as to decrease the book value of goodwill distributed to the unit, and after, that proportionally to other property of the cash-generating unit on the basis of the book value of every item in that cash-generating unit. Loss due to decrease of goodwill value is directly recognized as profit or loss in the consolidated statements on comprehensive income. Once recognized loss from decrease of goodwill is not annulled in the next periods. When disposing of the cash-generating unit, respective amount of goodwill becomes a part of the profit or loss from sale.
Revenue is measured on the basis of fee specified in the contract with the customer. A company i.e. IGH Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a customer. The transfer of control over goods or services may take place either continuously (revenue recognition over time) or on a specific date (recognition at a point in time, upon completion). Before revenue is recognized, the Company and IGH Group identify the contract as well as the various obligations of performance contained in the contract. The number of obligations regarding performance depends on the type of contract and activity. Most contracts of the Company and IGH Group involve only one obligation of performance. Recognition of revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 is applicable to the following sources of revenue:
The main revenue generated by the Company and IGH Group from construction contracts comes from design, study, supervision, consulting services, laboratory services, survey works and scientific research work for the reconstruction and construction of roads and other civil engineering structures. In accordance with the main IFRS 15 principles, the Company's accounting policies for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers reflect:
Contractual terms and the way in which the Group manages construction contracts are mainly derived from projects that contain a single performance obligation. The Company and IGH Group use a cost- based method to measure progress to the completion of construction work i.e. the Management has chosen to use the input method to calculate revenue (expenses incurred until a certain date) from the construction contract. Changes to the contract (relating to the price and/or scope of the contract) are recognized when approved by the client. If the changes relate to new products or services that are considered different and when the contract price increases by an amount reflecting the "standalone selling price" of the additional products or services, the changes are recognized as a separate contract. When a third party (such as a subcontractor) is involved in the delivery of a good or service, the Company and IGH Group determine if it assumes control of that product or service before it is transferred to the client. If control is taken before the transfer to the client, the Company and IGH Group recognize as revenue the gross amount it expects to be entitled to receive on handover.
If it is not possible to reliably assess the outcome of the contract, revenue under the contract shall be recognized to the extent that the costs incurred by the contract are likely to be recoverable. Contract costs shall be recognized as expenditure of the period in which they are incurred. If the total costs of the contract are likely to exceed the total revenues of the contract, the expected losses shall be recognized immediately as a cost.
The Company and the IGH Group shall review the estimated lifetime of the property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. There was no change in the lifetime estimates of fixed assets during the year. The Company regularly checks the recoverability of the assets individually, and if there are indications of impairment, the same shall be done up to the estimated recoverable value.
The Company shall consider all material information relating to all key risk factors, assumptions and uncertainties that it is aware are relevant to the Company's ability to continue to operate under the assumption of a going concern. The Company continuously invests maximum efforts with the aim of increasing operational business, and the year 2024 is significant for the settlement of almost the entire debt from the pre-bankruptcy settlement. The pre-bankruptcy debt was fully settled by February 15th 2024. The Company points out that it also actively settles liabilities towards other creditors through the sale of non-operating real estate and through refinancing of the operative part of debt. Looking at a stable contract base, a successful deleveraging towards non-financial institutions as well as all information on the progress of restructuring of debt towards financial institutions, the Company considers that it meets all operating requirements under the assumption of going concern.
The Company has reduced its obligations related to loan obligations that will be settled from the Company's real estate, in accordance with the pre-bankruptcy settlement, to the fair value of the corresponding real estate. The Management took the estimated value of real estate as the reference value of liabilities.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC
In cases where control is not taken, the Company and IGH Group consider that it is not the originator in the transaction and recognizes as income only the amount corresponding to its remuneration as an intermediary. The cost of obtaining a contract that would not have been incurred had the Group not obtained the contract is recognized as an asset if it is recoverable and is depreciated over the estimated contract life. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of the contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. The expected contract loss is recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.
Contractual liabilities are entered when the client has made payment for goods or services, and the Company and IGH Group did not fulfil their obligation by delivering these goods or services. If the Company, i.e. IGH Group delivered the goods or services to the client and the client did not pay for these, and the right to compensation is not conditioned by anything except by passing of time until maturity, receivables are recognized. Contractual assets are recognized if the right to compensation is conditioned by something else (e.g. by executing some other obligation).
State aid is recognized when there is a reasonable belief that the Company, i.e. IGH Group will fulfil the conditions under which the aid is given and a reasonable belief that the said aid will be given. Accordingly, the Company, i.e. IGH Group do not recognize State aid until there is sufficient assurance that the Company will meet the requirements set for the State aid and that the aid will be received. State aid is recognized as profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the costs for which the aid is intended to be covered are recognized. Receivables for State aid to compensate for expenses or losses already occurred, or for the purpose of providing immediate financial support to the entity without future related costs, are recognized as profit or loss of the period in which the receivables were incurred.
Financial revenue and costs comprise interest payable on loans and borrowings using the effective interest method, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, gains and losses from foreign exchange differences and gain/ losses from sale of investment in subsidiaries. Income from the write- off of financial liabilities is also reported within the financial revenue. Income from interest is recognized in the profit and loss account on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognized in the profit and loss account on the date when the Company’s right to pay the dividend is established. Financial costs comprise accrued interest on loans, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss account, impairment losses from financial assets and losses from exchange rate differences. Costs from borrowings are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest rate method.
Revenue from rent is recognized in the period when the rent was provided and refers to operative rent.
Prilikom At the initial recognition these assets are evaluated on the basis of cash flows of the lease agreement. After initial recognition, the right of use will be valued according to international standards for assets under IAS 16, IAS 38 or IAS 40 and therefore applying the cost model, decreased by accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, the revaluation model or the fair value model. In order to calculate the rent and respective asset with the right of use, discounting of future lease payments according to an appropriate discount rate is done. Thus, future rent payments which are discounted are determined according to contractual provisions, without VAT, since the obligation to pay this tax occurs when the invoice is issued by the Lessor and not on the day of the start of Lease Contract. In order to calculate the rent, discounting of future lease payments are done according to an implicit discount rate, or, if unavailable, at an incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the financing cost of liabilities of a similar duration and security as those in a lease agreement. When defining the duration of the lease, a period of irrevocability must be considered defined in the Contract, where the Lessee has the right to use the subject asset also considering potential extension options, if the Lessee is reasonably certain of the extension. In fact, when looking at the contracts which allow the Lessor to tacitly extend the Lease Contract after the first period, the period of lease is determined on the basis of facts such as the length of the first lease period, possible plans for the sale of the leased asset and any other circumstance indicating a reasonable safety of extension. An exception to this is low value lease contracts (up to EUR 4 thousand) and short duration contracts which are recognized as costs in the period to which they refer. The Company, i.e. IGH Group leases certain plants and equipment. Finance leases are capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance costs so as to achieve a constant rate on the balance outstanding. The interest element of finance costs is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The property, plants and equipment acquired under
finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Transakcije Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and items that are measured in terms of historical cost of a foreign currency are not converted per new exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency that are stated at historical cost are converted into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Official exchange rate of the Georgian currency on December 31st 2024 was 2,8932 GEL for 1 EUR (December 31st 2023: 2,9324 GEL for 1 EUR).
Official exchange rate of the BIH currency on December 31st 2024 was 1,95583 BAM for 1 EUR (December 31st 2023: 1,95583 BAM for 1 EUR).
Official exchange rate of the Macedonian currency on December 31st 2024 was 61,2952 MKD for 1 EUR (December 31st 2023: 61,634498 MKD for 1 EUR).
Official exchange rate of the Armenian currency on December 31st 2024 was 418,228 AMD for 1 EUR (December 31st 2023: 442,170 AMD for 1 EUR).
Items included in the financial statements of the Subsidiaries are stated in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Subsidiaries operate, which is also the reporting currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is also the functional currency of the Company. Income and expenses and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into the functional currency of the Company using an exchange rate that approximates the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and their assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the year-end.
Exchange rate differences from recalculation of the net investment into foreign undertakings are recognized as part of the principal amount. When selling the foreign undertaking, exchange rate differences are recognized in the profit and loss account as part of profit or loss from sale. Exchange rate differences from recalculation of foreign currency, owing to its non-material amount, are included in the accumulated loss amount.
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at depreciated cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the surrender value is recognized in the comprehensive income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings from creditors classified as "Secured Creditors" (Note 25.) are carried at fair value of the property under mortgage for the borrowings in question, since the collection of the relevant borrowings is possible solely from the mortgaged property.
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s General Assembly of Shareholders.
The income tax charge comprises current and deferred tax.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly to equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous periods.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business merger and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit as well as differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and mutually controlled companies when it is likely that the situation will not change in the near future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and if they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period when a decision is made.
The Tax Administration requires the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases is recognized and disclosed in the financial position statement, on a net basis. Where receivables have been impaired, impairment loss is recorded in the gross amount of receivables, including VAT.
Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are recognized at revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and any impairment. Fair value is based on the market value, being the estimated amount for which an asset could be sold INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024 23 on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. When the carrying amount is increased as a result of revaluation, this increase should be recognized directly in other comprehensive income under revaluation reserves. The revaluation increase is recognized as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an expense. When the carrying amount is decreased as a result of revaluation, this revaluation decrease should be recognized directly in revaluation reserves to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation reserve for the same asset, while the remaining amount is charged to expenses for the period. A valuation is performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the reporting date. Certain land and buildings are derecognized upon disposal or when no future benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of lands and buildings (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) are included in profit or loss when they are derecognized. The relevant portion of the revaluation surplus, realized in the previous valuation, is released to profit or loss from the surplus of the valued assets upon the disposal of the revalued asset. Also, any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Based on the revaluation performed by independent evaluers, the Company has revalued its properties and created revaluation reserves that are transferred to retained earnings/accumulated losses in accordance with the adopted depreciation policy. Gains and losses from disposal of land and buildings are recognized within other income or expenses in the profit and loss account. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in revaluation reserves are transferred to retained earnings.
Plants and equipment are initially included in the financial statement at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Following initial recognition at cost, plants and equipment are carried at revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on plants and equipment and any impairment. Fair value is based on the market value, being the estimated amount for which an asset could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.
Assets with the right of use are shown in the statement of financial position according to the calculated discounted method depending on the period of use. Gains and losses from the termination of property rights are recognized within the profit or loss account, within other income or expenses. When the carrying amount is increased as a result of revaluation, this increase should be recognized directly in other comprehensive income under revaluation reserves. The revaluation increase is recognized as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an expense. When the carrying amount is decreased as a result of revaluation, this revaluation decrease should be recognized as expenditure. This revaluation decrease directly impacts the revaluation reserves to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation reserve for the same asset. A valuation is performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the reporting date. Certain land and buildings are derecognized upon disposal or when no future benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of lands and buildings (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) are included in profit or loss when they are derecognized. INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024 24 The relevant portion of the revaluation surplus, realized in the previous valuation, is released to profit or loss from the surplus of the valued assets upon the disposal of the revalued asset and during its use. Also, accumulated depreciation on the revaluation date is excluded from the gross book value of the asset, and the net amount is adjusted to the revalued amount of the asset. Based on the revaluation performed by independent evaluers, the Company has revalued the value of equipment classified in the depreciation groups - Laboratory equipment and Measuring and control devices, and created revaluation reserves that are transferred to retained earnings / accumulated losses, in accordance with the adopted depreciation policy. Gains and losses from disposal of equipment are recognized within profit or loss within other income or expenses. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in revaluation reserves are transferred to retained earnings.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of other property items, plants and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives or to their residual values as follows:
| Category | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 years |
| Plants and equipment | 1 to 8 years |
| Other | 10 years |
The remaining value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Company would currently obtain from the sale less the estimated costs of sale, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The assets’ residual value and useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024
If an asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the difference is written-off to its revocable amount. Gains and losses from sale are determined as the difference between the income from sale and the carrying amount of the sold asset, and are recognized in profit or loss within other income/expenses.
Patents, licenses and computer software are capitalized on the basis of acquisition costs and costs arising from bringing assets into working condition.
Subsequent costs are capitalized only if they increase future economic benefits arising from the asset. All other costs are treated as costs in the profit and loss account, in the period as incurred.
Nematerijalna Intangible assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of other intangible assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives or to their residual values as follows:
Goodwill represents the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the Group's share in the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary, the recognized amount of the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the previous share at the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary is reported under intangible assets.
Investment into property is recognized as an asset when it is likely that future economic benefits will arise from the investment and when the cost of investment can be reliably measured. Investment into property includes property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment into property is initially recognized at cost including transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, investment into property is measured at fair value reflecting market conditions at the balance sheet date. Profit or loss from changes in fair value of investment into property is recognized in the profit or loss account of the period in which they are incurred.
The cost of work in progress and finished goods comprise raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Trade goods are carried at the lower than purchase cost and sales price (less applicable taxes and margins). Small inventory and tools are written-off when put into use.
Trade receivables are amounts that relate to services sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected within one year, the receivable is shown within current assets, and if not, then the receivable is shown within non-current assets. Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit loss. Business model for management of receivables is a depreciated cost model, a business model that is achieved by holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows (principal and interest). Impairment provisions for trade receivables and contractual assets are measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the life of the loan, i.e. by applying a simplified approach to expected credit losses. The Company uses historical observations (over a minimum of 2 years) to measure the expected credit losses of the Company on the days when the receivables are delayed, adjusted for estimated future expectations in the collection of receivables. Trade receivables are broken down by ageing structure. Receivables are impaired and impairment losses for individual customers are incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment arising from one or more events after the initial recognition of the asset when that event affects the estimated future cash flows of the receivable that can be reliably determined. Objective evidence of impairment of financial assets for expected credit losses includes:
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of money with original maturities of up to three months or less and which are subject to a slight risk of change in value. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost because:
(i) they are held for the purpose of collecting cash flows from contracts that represent an SPPI, and
(ii) they are not reported as FVTPL.
Share capital consists of ordinary shares. Gains directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of income tax, from the proceeds. Any excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the nominal value of the shares issued is presented in the notes as a share premium. Where the Company purchases its equity share capital (own shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable transaction costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders until the shares are cancelled or reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs and the related income tax effects, and is included in equity.
In the normal course of business, through salary deductions, the Group makes payments to mandatory pension funds on behalf of its employees, as required by law. All contributions made to the mandatory pension funds are recorded as salary expense when incurred. The Company is not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.
Severance pay are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes severance pay benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing severance pay as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.
Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting date are discounted to their present value based on the calculation performed at each reporting date by an independent actuary, using assumptions regarding the number of staff likely to earn regular retirement benefits, estimated benefit cost and the discount rate equal to the rate of return on bonds issued by the Republic of Croatia. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
As part of the long-term reward plan, the Company employees receive share-based payments in exchange for the services they provide. The fair value on the date of approval is recognized as an employee expense, with the corresponding increase in capital and reserves during the period in which the employees exercise their unconditional right to the award. The recognized cost reflects the share of the total reward for the services rendered, and other non-market conditions that are expected to be met. The cumulative amount of the reward recognized on the date of reward reflects services rendered and non-market conditions satisfied.
Provisions are recognized when the Company and IGH Group have a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of discounting is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation, determined using the estimated risk free interest rate as the discount rate. Where discounting is used, the discounting impact in each year is recognized as a financial expense and the carrying amount of the provision increases in each year to reflect the passage of time.
Trade receivables and issued debt securities are initially recognized at the time they arise. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company and IGH Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless the trade receivable has no significant financial component) or a financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus an item that is not carried at fair value through profit or loss, for transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue. Trade receivables without a significant financing component are initially measured at transaction cost.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024
Upon initial recognition, financial assets are carried at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income - debt investment, fair value through other comprehensive income - investment in equity or fair value through profit or loss account. Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition, unless the Company or IGH Group changes its financial asset management business model, in which case all financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the business model has been changed.
Financial assets are measured at an amortized cost if they meet both of the following conditions and are not classified as assets at fair value through profit and loss account:
* it is within a business model aimed at holding assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
* based on the contractual terms, on certain dates, it receives cash inflows that represent the sole payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
All financial assets not classified as financial assets at amortized cost as described above are measured at fair value through profit and loss account. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses including all interest or dividend income are recognized in the profit and loss account.
Financial assets carried at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange differences and impairment losses are recognized in the profit and loss account. Any gain or loss from derecognition is recognized in the profit and loss account.
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost or at fair value through the profit and loss account. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss when held for trading if it represents a derivative or if classified as such at initial recognition. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through the profit and loss account are measured at fair value, and net gain and loss, including all expenditure for interest, are recognized in the profit and loss account. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured per amortized cost by applying the effective interest rate method. Expenditure for interest and gains and losses from exchange rate differences are recognized in the profit and loss account. Profit and loss at derecognition are also recognized in the profit and loss account.
The Group ceases to recognize financial assets when the contractual rights to cash flows from financial assets expire or if the Company transfers the rights to receive contractual cash flows in a transaction in which all key risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred, or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains all risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over financial assets. The Company enters into transactions in which it transfers assets recognized in the statement of financial position but retains all or almost all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In such cases, the transferred property does not cease to be recognized.
The Group ceases to recognize a financial liability when its contractual obligations are fulfilled, cancelled or expired. The Company also ceases to recognize a financial liability when its terms have changed and when the cash flows of the changed liability are materially different, in which case the new financial liability is recognized at fair value under the changed conditions. Upon derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount and the amount paid (including any transferred non-monetary assets or liabilities) is recognized in the profit and loss account.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are netted and the net amount is disclosed in the income statement when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset amounts and intends to settle them on a net basis or to realize the assets and at the same time settle the liability.
The effective interest method is a method that calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset and distributes interest income over the relevant period. Effective interest rate is the rate at which estimated future cash inflows, including any fees paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, then transaction costs and other premiums and discounts, are discounted over the expected life of the financial asset or a shorter period, if applicable. Income from debt instruments other than financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss is recognized on an effective interest basis, recognized on an effective interest basis.
The financial guarantee for the contractual obligation is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at a higher value:
* the amount determined in accordance with the model of expected credit losses according to IFRS 9, and
* the amount initially recognized, minus, if necessary, the corresponding cumulative effect recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policy.
Financial liabilities, including loans, are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over a specified period. The effective interest rate accurately discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial instrument or, where appropriate, for a shorter period to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability, with the exception of financial assets less credit losses.
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss when held for trading or as defined by the Company. They are measured at fair value, and any related gain or loss is recognized in the profit and loss account, except for changes in the fair value of the liabilities resulting from changes in the Company's own credit risk that are recognized through other comprehensive income. The net gain or loss recognized in the profit and loss account also includes interest paid on a financial liability.
The Group identifies operating segments on the basis of internal reports about the Company components that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (which is identified as being the Company's Management Board) in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Details on the operating segments are disclosed in Note 5. with the Financial Statements.
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Non-current assets held for sale are intended to settle the secured debt to financial institutions that have not waived their right to a separate settlement in the process of the pre-bankruptcy settlement. The estimated market value was determined based on the independent valuers’ report that was based on the cost method, the comparative method and/or the income method depending on the type of property.
The Company has an established control system framework with respect to fair value measurement which assumes the overall responsibility of the Management Board and the Finance Department in relation to monitoring all significant fair value measurements, consultation with external experts and the responsibility to report, with respect to the above, to those charged with corporate governance. Fair values are measured using information collected from third parties in which case the Management Board and the Finance Department assess whether the evidence collected from third parties support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRSs, including the level in the fair value hierarchy where such valuations should be classified. All significant issues related to fair values estimates are reported to the Supervisory Board.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:
The fair value of financial instruments traded on active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024 30 regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the fair value estimate is included in level 3. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has made the following significant fair value estimates while preparing the financial statements as further explained in detail in the following notes:
The Company is organized into business units according to their locations and sectors of construction industry. Business units are engaged in designing, development of studies, supervision, consulting services, laboratory testing, survey work and scientific research. Reportable segments are an integral part of the internal financial statements. The internal reports are regularly reviewed by the Company's Management Board that is also the chief operating decision maker, who assesses the success of business operations and makes business decisions. Internal reporting of segment results is adjusted to business organization and key indicators for each segment separately, and accordingly disclosure of this information is adjusted for the current year and previous period.
Set out below is an analysis of the Company's revenue and results by its reporting segments, presented in accordance with IFRS 8. The revenue presented below relates to third-party sales. Inter-segment revenues are eliminated when reporting. The Company's management reports net income in its internal reports, i.e. sales revenue less the cost of co-operation. Accordingly, segment revenues are presented at this level.

In 2024, the Company used previously unrecognized tax losses based on the value adjustment of financial assets of companies that were deleted from the court register in the total amount of EUR 11,192 thousand.# INSTITUT IGH, JSC
In 2023, the total amount for the transfer of tax losses in the amount of EUR 3,755 thousand was used in full. Unused tax losses are not recognized as deferred tax assets in the statement of financial position, as it is unlikely that there will be sufficient taxable profits realized for the utilization of these deferred tax assets. The Company increased its tax base by EUR 1,486 thousand based on tax-deductible items, which has a tax effect of EUR 267 thousand, while it decreased its tax base by EUR 11,223 thousand based on tax-deductible items, which has an effect on the tax effect of EUR -2,020 thousand. Considering the tax-deductible losses recognized based on the deletion of the companies Geotehnika-inžinjering u stečaju d.o.o. and the company Centar gradski podrum d.o.o. from the court register, the company has no tax liability at the end of the 2024 tax period. In the next tax period, the Company has the opportunity to use the remaining tax loss in the amount of EUR 8,621 thousand.

Write-off assets related to leases of commercial real estate and cars, which are managed in accordance with IFRS-16. The net amount of right-of-use assets in the company's books as of December 31st 2024 amounts to EUR 3,691 thousand (Dec. 31st 2023: EUR 3,119 thousand).
The estimated market value for revaluation purposes was determined based on the independent valuers’ report that was based on the cost method, the comparative method and/or the income method depending on the type of property. The estimated market value of laboratory equipment and measuring instruments for revaluation purposes was determined by the Company based on the independent valuers’ calculations who applied the cost method as the most appropriate method because it is based on the economic principle that the buyer of the property will not pay more than the price that the buyer would have paid for an asset of equal utility in case of a new purchase or construction.
(i) Valuation techniques and valuable inputs
The following table summarizes the valuation methods and techniques used in measuring the fair value and significant inputs used in the valuation:
| Significant unobservable inputs | |
|---|---|
| Valuation methods and techniques | |
| Land and buildings | Correction factors used in the market value measurement of land and buildings was performed by calculating the market price. certified property valuers. Depending on the intended use of the assets the methods used were the market value method (by further developing the cost method), the income method and the residual method. Among other factors, the estimated discount rate considers the underlying quality of the property, its location and the currently realizable rent conditions for similar locations andproperty. The calculation of the market value by developing the cost method is performed by calculating the value of a newly built property and its impairment due to the passage of time, construction, furnishing, etc. The resulting price is adjusted to the market price through a number of factors specific to the observed building or land.

Loan and borrowing liabilities were significantly reduced in 2024, when the pre-bankruptcy closing process was completed. The company settled a large part of its liabilities in 2023, and the remaining debt in the amount of EUR 38 thousand was settled in February 2024. The course of the pre-bankruptcy and debt settlement was as follows:
/ii/ The ‘PIK debt’ represents claims that will be settled by selling pledged assets of the Company or its related parties. The final maturity of the PIK claims is 6 years from the day the pre-bankruptcy settlement became final at an interest rate of 4.5% per annum, which is also paid on final maturity.
/iii/ The ‘Senior debt’ comprises a portion of creditor claims which will be settled by payment in instalments in accordance with the provisions of the settlement and additional agreements with creditors of category a), which fall due on June 30th and December 31st with an interest rate set at 4.5% per annum.
/iv/ Secured creditors have not waived their right for separate settlement in the pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings, and have the right to initiate separate enforcement procedures to enforce property sales and settlement of their claims. If the sale of pledged assets does not generate sufficient funds to settle secured claims, secured creditors are not entitled to settlement of outstanding claims in full, but their claims are considered to be settled entirely through the sale of the pledged assets. Regarding these borrowings, the Company is not obligated to repay principal or interest from the ordinary course of business, but the settlement is made only from the sale of pledged property. A debt of EUR 1,161 thousand was still recorded in the Company's accounts, however it was settled by immovable property which is also in the Company's books. By derecognition at the end of the process, there is no, and will not be any effect on the financial statements.
/v/ Issued bonds
On June 6th 2012 the Company (IGH Group) issued convertible bonds in the amount of EUR 10 million for a partial rescheduling of liabilities arising from previously issued financial instruments and financing of the working capital. On June 10th 2013, the Settlement Council of the Financial Agency adopted the Decision on initiating pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings over INSTITUT IGH, JSC owners of convertible bonds as secured creditors have not waived their right for separate settlement in the pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings, and have the right to initiate separate enforcement procedures to enforce property sales and settlement of their claims. In the event that the funds obtained from the realization of the pledge will not be sufficient to cover the claims secured, the bondholders are not entitled to settle up to the full amount of the secured claim but their claim is deemed to be fulfilled by the realization of the pledge. Regarding these bonds, the Company is not obligated to repay principal or interest from the ordinary course of business, but the settlement is made only from the sale of pledged property.

Financial risk factors
The Company, that is, the Group is exposed to various financial risks related to foreign exchange, interest rate, credit and solvency risk. The Company monitors these risks and seeks to minimize their potential impact on the Company’s financial exposure. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to actively hedge its financial risk exposure.
a) Market risk
Market risk relates to financial instruments. IFRS defines market risk as the risk of fluctuation of fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. The Company operates on the Croatian and international markets. The Management Board determines the cost of its services based on the market price of the relevant market.
b) Price risk
The Company is engaged in the professional and scientific research in the field of civil engineering, the area where the financial crisis has had a significant impact causing relative market inactivity. However, positive macroeconomic indicators in the last period have stimulated market recovery and corresponding prices.
c) Currency risk
The Company’s official currency since January 1, 2023 is the Euro (EUR). The company has invested and invests in financial instruments and enters into transactions denominated in currencies representing the functional currency of an issuer established in different countries. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to the risk of changing the currency exchange rate against other currencies in a way that may negatively affect the Company's profit and value. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Euros by applying the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting foreign exchange differences are credited or charged to the income statement. Changes in exchange rates may affect the profits mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains or losses arising on translation of receivables into Euros and borrowings and liabilities contracted with a foreign currency clause (EUR). Due to the part of foreign market revenues and liabilities denominated in other currencies, the Company is exposed to changes in the value of the exchange rate.
The total exposure of the Company to changes in foreign exchange rates at the reporting date was as follows:
| Country | Liabilities (2023) | Liabilities (2024) | Assets (2023) | Assets (2022) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In thous. EUR | ||||
| Bosna and Herzegovina (BAM) | 5 | 82 | 137 | 128 |
| USA (USD) | 413 | 16 | - | 39 |
| Georgia (GEL) | - | 162 | 428 | 899 |
| Macedonia (MDK) | 1 | 2 | 8 | 76 |
| Armenia (ARD) | - | 785 | - | 765 |
Sensitivity analysis to foreign currency risk
The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate of EUR, in terms of received loans, suppliers and trade receivables. The Company is additionally exposed to changes in the EUR exchange rate relative to the GEL due to the operations of the Georgia subsidiary, and ARD due to the operations in the Armenia subsidiary. The sensitivity analysis includes only open cash items in foreign currency and their recalculation at the end of the period based on the percentage change in exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the currency. A negative number indicates a decrease in profit where the euro changes against the relevant currency by the percentage specified above. In case of a reverse proportional change of the euro against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit.
The depreciation of Euro against the exchange rate of the currencies shown by 1% would have the following effects on profit:
| Effect of USD currency | Effect of GEL currency | Effect of MDK currency | |

| 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |

The mean exchange rates of currencies to Euro significant for the Company:
| Dec. 31, 2023. | Dec. 31, 2024. | |
|---|---|---|
| BAM | 1,95583 | 1,95583 |
| USD | 1,105 | 1,0444 |
| GEL | 2,9324 | 3,0235 |
| MDK | 61,6345 | 61,583 |
| ARD | 442,17 | 418,288 |
d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of a change in the value of a financial instrument due to changes in market rates in relation to the interest rates applied to the financial instrument. The Company, i.e. the group use loans with predominantly fixed interest rates and is not exposed to the risk of changing interest rates. The Company does not use active hedging instruments against exposure to interest rate risk.
e) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause the other party financial losses due to default, in whole or in part, at the time of maturity. Failure to do so would endanger the liquidity of the Company and reduce the value of its assets. On December 31st 2024, financial assets that could potentially expose the Group to credit risk consist mainly of loans given, trade receivables and other receivables.
The value of financial assets at the reporting date shows the maximum exposure to credit risk. The Group regularly monitors the risk that the other party will not fulfil its obligations. Trade receivables, other receivables, and receivables from given loans are adjusted for the amount of provisions for doubtful and disputed receivables. The Company applies a simplified IFRS 9 approach for measuring expected credit losses, using the expected value adjustment for all trade receivables and contract assets. In order to measure expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on common credit risk characteristics and maturity dates. In the same types of contracts, contract assets are tied to the same risk characteristics as trade receivables. Therefore, the Company concluded that expected loss rates for trade receivables can also be used to calculate losses for contractual assets. The expected loss rates are based on collection data for the 24-month period prior to December 31, 2024 and historical credit losses during that period. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to credit risk through cash deposits in banks. As of December 31st 2024, the Company cooperated with five banks where it keeps its money and deposits. Risk management is focused on doing business with the most reputable foreign and domestic banks in the country and abroad. Deposits in banks constitute current account money and deposits held with banks as bank guarantees that are collected at maturity, and therefore classified as held-to-maturity assets in accordance with IFRS 9 and measured at depreciated cost. Credit risk shall be measured using a general approach. The Company shall use the daily value of the CDSs covering the insurance for a period of 5 years. The CDS with 5-year insurance has the highest market liquidity and has therefore been chosen as a benchmark. The CDS is sensitive to an increase in the risk of default — whether or not insurance with a period of 3 or 5 years has been selected. Domestic banks do not have a rating or CDS indicator as a risk measure. The Company took the CDS for the Republic of Croatia to measure the risk, which at December 31st 2024 amounted to 1,02%. The credit risk, calculated according to the formula: amount of deposits * number of days * CDS / 365. For deposits on demand, the Company uses 2 days in calculating the amount of credit risk.
f) Solvency risk
Solvency risk is the risk of the Company facing difficulties in settling its liabilities. Solvency risk arises in the general funding activities of the Company and the management of assets. It includes the risk of being unable to fund assets under appropriate maturities and prices and the risk of being unable to sell its assets at a reasonable price and in an appropriate time frame. Financial instruments include investments that may be insolvent and that the Company is unable to turn into cash to meet its solvency requirements.## INSTITUT IGH, JSC Notes to the financial statements (continuation) for the year ended on December 31, 2024

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined as follows:
* the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions used for trading on active liquid markets are determined on the basis of quoted market prices,
* the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models, based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and quotes offered for similar instruments.
Financial instruments held to maturity in the ordinary course of business are recorded at the purchase cost or net amount less the portion repaid. Fair value is determined as amount for which a financial instrument could be traded between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, except in the event of a forced sale or for liquidation purposes. The fair value of a financial instrument is its quoted securities market price, or the amount obtained using the discounted cash flow method. As at December 31st 2024, the reported amounts of cash, short-term deposits, receivables, current liabilities, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings and other financial instruments approximate their market values due to the current nature of those assets and liabilities.

As a result of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed to Russia, the Company's Russian subsidiary found itself with limited business options. In addition, the subsidiary's access to resources is limited, with uncertain market and other developments. The possibility to implement and set up new projects is also limited. Consequently, during the Management Board session on March 2nd 2022, IGH's Management Board decided to close the Company's subsidiary in Russia, Moscow. On August 8th 2024, INSTITUT IGH, JSC subsidiary in Moscow, Russia was officially deleted from the national register of registered branches, representative offices of foreign legal entities. As of December 31st 2024, within the Company's unconsolidated financial statements, receivables and payables relating to the subsidiary INSTITUT IGH, JSC Moscow, Russia, were derecognized from the Company's books. Since the positions of liabilities and receivables were adjusted in value in the previous period, there was no impact on the financial result of the current period.
After the balance sheet date, the Company initiated bankruptcy proceedings against its subsidiary Marterra d.o.o. Zagreb in January 2025. There were no other significant events that would significantly affect the annual accounts of the IGH Group for 2024, which should consequently be published.
The financial statements were adopted by the Management Board and their issuing was approved on April 25th 2025.# Robert Petrosian
