1. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Articles 250a and 250b of the Companies Act and Article 21.a of the Accounting Act Companies have to submit an Annual Report on the Status of the Company and a Consolidated Annual Report.

The Annual Report on the Status of INSTITUT IGH, d.d. (hereinafter: the Company) includes all the legally required information and data.

Given that it is a shareholder in subsidiaries and associates, the Company consolidates its Annual Financial Report.

In this report, the term "IGH Group" will be used to denote the Company and its subsidiaries and associated companies with the aim of presenting complete, truthful and factual information to the shareholders and the investment public.

The Annual Report includes basic financial statements put together in accordance with the Accounting Act and the International Financial Reporting Standards. Pursuant to the Accounting Act, basic financial statements include the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet), Income Statement, a Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, a Statement of Changes in Shareholder Equity, a Cash Flow Statement and Notes to Financial Statements. In addition, the Annual Report also includes a Non-Financial Report pursuant to provisions of Article 21.a of the Accounting Act.

2. A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

Is marked by the completion of one of the most expensive infrastructure projects in Croatia – the State Road DC403. The professional team from INSTITUT IGH, d.d. provided construction and financial supervision services on the project. It was concerning that infrastructure investments made by our main partners, Hrvatske Ceste, Hrvatske Autoceste and Hrvatske vode, dropped in 2023. Despite those developments, we have a very good contract portfolio for at least two more years. We started working on large infrastructure projects as part of rehabilitation works in the aftermath of the 2020 earthquake Croatia has suffered, and began spreading our business activity to Italian, Hungarian, Armenian and Bosnian markets, consequently expanding our presence and contribution. In addition, we have been optimizing costs in non-core activities as well as exploring new business directions (energy, the nuclear sector, high-rise buildings). 2023

The number of employees working at INSTITUT IGH, d.d. amounted to 372 employees, with 12 more employees working in our foreign branch offices. This represents a reduction of 93 employees compared to 31 December 2022, when the Company had 477 employees. We believe this to be an optimal number given current market trends. During 2023, actions were taken to continue dealing with the pre-bankruptcy settlement debt, so we can close that chapter in our business and continue to achieve the strategic goals we've set without the burdens of the past. On 29 December 2023, the company had recapitalized, creating all necessary prerequisites to start the pre-bankruptcy settlement finalization procedure.

During 2023, we signed 120 new contracts worth around 15,39 million EUR in total. Currently active contracts are expected to bring slightly over 25 million EUR in revenue. In addition, in 2023 we raised the average gross salary to EUR 1.761. For 2024, we expect a total revenue of 24,87 million EUR of which 5,8 million EUR is international revenue with an expected profit margin of 15,12%.

After adopting the 2020-2030 Company Development Strategy and forming a strategy implementation team, we developed an annual plan with four key areas:

  • 1. Employee orientation and mentorship;
  • 2. New markets and business segments;
  • 3. Scientific and research activity;
  • 4. Profitability.

The Company monitored the implementation of the plan on a monthly basis and, at the end of the year, the results were presented to the Company's Supervisory Board. In addition, taking into account recent activities on global and domestic markets, it was clear that the base strategy needed some adjustments to include new areas of activity. You can read more on that in a separate chapter, entitled "Strategy".

The non-financial part of the 2023 report was prepared taking into account the GRI.

During the year, the Company increased its share capital to 14,814,630.00 EUR and reduced the nominal value of its shares to 10,00 EUR per share. In addition, RADELJEVIĆ d.o.o. and IGH CONSULTING d.o.o. were acquired by INSTITUT IGH, d.d., all with the aim of recapitalizing the Company, consequently creating all the necessary prerequiites to initiate the end the pre-bankruptcy procedure.

7. MISSION AND VISION

  • 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.

8. THE COMPANY'S 2020-2030 STRATEGY

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. In addition, through the implementation of a Mentorship System, we want to create a mentorship program through which junior engineers and designers will cooperate with seniors through all the design phases, enabling a faster transfer of knowledge, and, ultimately, a higher quality of our work and added value for our partners. Using a continuous professional development program, we want to enable our employees to develop their technical know-how, but also management and IT skills, such as BIM proficiency, as part of the Company's comprehensive digital transformation.

Client orientation

It is the opinion of INSTITUT IGH, d.d. that, instead of a contractor, it should be a partner to its client, and we achieve this through a proactive approach and focus on a timely fulfillment of their requests.

Science and research

INSTITUT IGH, d.d. used to be recognized precisely for its contribution to the field through research and development. In the near future, we want to go back to our roots and become a center of excellence when it comes to science and research again. The following are key areas of our activity in this field: The use of plastic waste in construction materials, the development of new construction material and structure test methods, including non-destructive testing methods, building water anaylses facilities, hydrogen fuel cell research and development.

New sector orientation and service modernization

We see energy, traditional, and especially energy from renewable sources such as wind, water and biomass as a huge opportunity to expand the experience gathered so far to this sector and additionally diversify our services portfolio and the sectors in which we work.

Business and residential buildings as well as data centers will be projects that will require state of the art design, supervision and strategic consulting now and in the future, this is where INSTITUT IGH, d.d. wants to continue to be recognized as a leading company.

We aim for a leading position when it comes to service improvement, in line with global standards, and want to be at the forefront of a modernization trend in civil engineering services towards all stakeholders. By modernizatopn trends, we primarily mean promoting BIM processes and tools and making them an industry standard.

Financial stability

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.

New markets

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.

Strategy adaptation

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 6 February 2024, the Company was organized as follows:

Figure 3. Organizational structure on 6 February 2024

10. MATERIAL TOPICS OF IMPORTANCE FOR THE COMPANY

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: Occupational Health and Safety Management: ISO 45001:2018.

The Company's operations are geographically divided among the head office in Zagreb and three Regional Centres (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: Environmental Management System Standard: ISO 14001:2015 and Energy Management System Standard: ISO 50001:2018 and as an umbrella system the Quality Management System: ISO 9001:2015 have been set up within the Company.

Analysing 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:

  • 1. The occupational health and safety of our employees and our industrial partners on projects;
  • 2. Adjustment and environmental impact;
  • 3. Employee focus through mentoring and professional development.

11. THE NON-FINANCIAL REPORT

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. P

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.

The Company received confirmation of compliance with the requirements of all these standards from the Certification Body DNV in December 2022, upon completion of audit. The new audit for the mentioned standards was announced for February 2024. Also, Institut IGH had its first audit for accreditation according to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard for the information security management system last year in July.

Laboratory activities are also undertaken for many years in accordance with the requirements of the standard HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 on several locations throughout Croatia (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek, Pula, Varaždin, Dubrovnik). All organizational units carry out testing /calibration /sampling in accredited and non-accredited fields. Accreditation agency HAA began in October and ended in December 2023. The laboratory applied for accreditation of 30 new methods, of which 25 new methods were from the Laboratory for building physics, three methods from the Laboratory for road construction and two methods from the Laboratory for binders and ecology. A part of the methods are accredited for testing purposes in Paks, Hungary. After the audit, the laboratory resolved the resulting non-conformities and harmonized the Annex to the accreditation certificate. All new methods have been accepted to expand the area of accreditation. We received a new certificate of accreditation in January 2024. Accreditation in testing laboratories for 492 methods, i.e. 687 methods, if we take into account all the locations testing is conducted. All testing laboratories have a flexible area of accreditation and can apply new editions of standards before HAA audit, which enables more flexibility in laboratory work. In addition, the Laboratory for binders and ecology received from HAA a flexible area of accreditation for the addition of analytes and matrices, which further increases the laboratory's capacity to expand its field of activity.

The quality of the metrology laboratory was confirmed through accreditation by the Croatian Accreditation Agency (HAA) in March 2022 issuing a Certificate 2070 for 16 methods for calibration of measuring devices for: strength, length, frequency, mass, temperature.

INSTITUT IGH, d.d. continues to promote socially responsible business through the development of its business processes through reorganization and digitalization, through employee orientation, encouragement and development of scientific research work, and responsibility towards the environment. Following the global goals for reducing the carbon and water footprint and responsible energy consumption, the IGH undertakes to improve its own efficiency through defined goals. INSTITUT IGH, d.d. will continue to permanently improve its business model in the interest of customers, investors, employees and suppliers, as well as the entire social community.

Management systems in INSTITUT IGH, d.d

The integration of all management systems in INSTITUT IGH, d.d. continued in 2023, 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, 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, eight training events were held for all newly-hired employees to increase awareness of management systems, awareness of the contribution of each employee to system efficiency, the quality system policy, the environment, energy and occupational health and safety system policies.

More than 10, mostly integrated internal audits have been carried out in all locations, including construction sites as separate units, where the INSTITUT IGH d.d. is present, mostly through technical supervision activities.

The audit of the certification company DN for ISO14001, ISO45001 (recertification), ISO9001 and ISO50001(certification audit) was not held in November due to the Laboratory`s ISO17025 reacreditation. The new set date to be held is April 2024. In spite the delay, all certificates are valid and there will be enough time to create new documentation for certification.

The certification audit for the new information security management system according to ISO 27001 was held through May 2022, and the certificate for the said system was issued.

The Quality Management System including Laboratories

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 training requirements and make up the majority of all laboratories in Croatia. All laboratories are equipped with modern equipment for laboratory, in-situ testing, research services and calibration of measuring devices and are accredited in accordance with the standard HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017. According to the attachment to the Accreditation Certificate, a total of 687 testing methods was accredited in the testing laboratories, of which 194 methods overlap by location, so in all 493 different methods are accredited.In the application of the Croatian Accreditation Agency for the year 2023, 30 new methods were applied. The laboratory removed several accredited methods due to the lack of interest and no customer requests. The accreditation began in October 2023 with the visit of HAA assessors, and ended with the obtaining of the accreditation at the end of January 2024.

The Metrology laboratory was evaluated by the Croatian Accreditation Agency (HAA) in the June of 2023. Methods of calibrating length meters, force meters, vibration tables with a measuring system, non-automatic scales and temperature chambers were accredited. The evaluators suggested that all the accreditations continue being valid after the elimination of nonconformities which was completed in September 2023.

Environmental management

Through the environmental management system, INSTITUT IGH d.d. in 2023 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.

Environmental management (DISCLOSURE 306)

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 2023, the following types and quantities of waste were managed:

Table 1.: Types of waste created in 2023, per type and regional center.

Table 1. Data on the amount of waste in 2023

Data inputs in Table 1. are reported data from the Register of Environmental Pollutants and records on the generation and flow of waste. Zagreb beton, a waste management company, doesn't classify construction waste based on other key numbers, but classifies everything as mixed construction waste because the waste is managed in this category.

Rockwool, concrete, brick, tile and aggregates, styrofoam and similar materials brought to INSTITUT IGH, d.d. as test samples are returned to the production cycle for reuse in order to create an additional – longer value of the product. Extending the service life of construction products actually reduces the amount of waste and direct impact on the environment and supports the circular economy model.

Unfortunately the infrastructure of utility companies and disorder on the waste market/system prevents recovery of larger percentage of waste at all locations. This is mostly relevant to construction / mixed construction waste in Rijeka, Osijek, Split, so unfortunately instead of being recycled or reused, it is disposed of at a landfill.

All waste is handed over to authorized waste collection companies; therefore it is disposed of outside IGH premises. However, we have no information on what is done with the waste after it is collected and how it is recycled or disposed.

This also applies for the monitoring of energy consumption. A significant reduction of greenhouse gas emission which is a consequence of changes in employee behaviour and business processes, and particulary 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.

Energy management (DISCLOSURE 302-1)

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 Osijek, RC Rijeka, with some limitations. Regional center Split was not included in the 2023 analysis 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 2024.

Energy consumption in 2023 in INSTITUT IGH, D.D. is shown in table 3. N.B.: These data do not include the consumption in Split becasue we do not have comparable data in 2023.

Water Water 6170 m3 - -
Total Total - 4.581.158 1,681*1013

Table 3: Energy consumption in 2023

A comparison of the total energy consumption shows that heating consumes the most energy. A graph showing the consumption of water, electricity and heating (Figure 1) as well as the consumption of fuel (Figure 2) shows that all forms of energy consumptions have a decreasing tendency in the last three years, except for water, whose consumption increased in 2022.

Figure 1.: The 2018-2023 water, HEP heating and electricity consumption.

Figure 2.: The 2018-2023 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 2024.

In conclusion, energy consumption is monitored and analysed, 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 2023 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 adition, 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 (DISCLOSURE 302-3)

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 2021-2023 data are displayed in table 4.

Table 4.: Overview of energy parameters compared to the Company's revenue between 2021-2023.

EnPi (J/kn) 127503,57 111370,93 94156,27 -16.132,60 -33.347,73

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.

Water (DISCLOSURE 303)

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.

Occupational Health and Safety Management (DISCLOSURE 403)

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 2023, the focus slowly shifted from the COVID-19 pandemic (with no fatal outcomes among our employees) to risks directly related to work processes. Therefore, internal audits of occupational health and safety at work experts were intensified in those processes recognized as risky during risk assessment. Persons authorized by the employer for occupational health and safety at work were informed about the internal audit results and corrective actions were initiated, most of which were accepted and closed.

Occupational health and safety at work system performance is monitored through key system indicators, including injuries or deaths at work and lost working days and hours in relation to the total number of working hours spent at work. Data including 2023 are given in Table 5.

In 2023 we had two injuries acknowledged as work-related injuries, but not directly work-related. One happened during a commute to work and the other while leaving work, in an area not controlled by the employer.

15. INTERNAL CONTROLS

In line with the Corporate Governance principles, the Management of the Company and its subsidiaries established respective internal control systems and risk management systems. An effective internal control system contributes to the preservation of the company's assets.

The Company Management is responsible for the implementation and execution of the internal control and internal audit systems, as an independent and autonomous task which contributes to the definition of risks and assesses the efficiency of controls.

Management of the Company and its subsidiaries are responsible for the implementation and execution of internal control of financial reporting. The internal control system is organized to ensure reasonable assurance of the Management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of separate and consolidated financial statements. Company Management and its subsidiaries have assessed the efficiency of internal control regarding the 2023 financial reports and concluded that the internal control of financial reporting has fulfilled all set criteria.

16. RISK MANAGEMENT

Along with the risks already mentioned in the notes to the principal financial statements, the Company Management also reports on the following risks:

The Company concluded a pre-bankruptcy settlement on 5 Dec 2013 before the Commercial Court in Zagreb, Ref.no. 72. Stpn-305/2013. The subject settlement became valid and final on 28 Dec 2013. The Company received the Force of res judicta on 15 April 2014. Based on the fact that the prebankruptcy settlement is valid and final, the Company sees the pre-bankruptcy settlement risk as a potentially long-term risk, since settlement of commitments towards category a) financial institutions, is due within a period of 6,5 years with a grace period of 3,5 years. In terms of the long-term risk, the Company states that this is a risk over a longer time period in which adequate EBITDA might not be achieved to settle all commitments undertaken by the pre-bankruptcy settlement.

From the legally concluded pre-bankruptcy settlement until 31 December 2023, through cash payments, issue of shares for converting a part of creditor's claims into capital, through payment of priority claims and other claims of workers with respective taxes and contributions, and by writing-off in accordance with the provisions of the pre-bankruptcy settlement, the Company settled a total of 56.985 thousand EUR of liabilities incurred prior to the opening of the pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure.

With the balance sheet date of 31 December 2023, the remaining debt amounts to 38 thousand EUR and even after the balance sheet date, the company continues to settle its obligations, in order to settle the obligations from the pre-bankruptcy settlement. In the first quarter of 2024, the company payed out the remaining amount of 38 thousand EUR and continues with the implementation of the legal procedure for the pre-bankruptcy settlement.

The Company is aware of potential long-term risks, and thus actively undertakes actions to streamline and rationalize business operations and strengthen its market position. In accordance with the achieved improvements in business operations, the Company Management considers that the above stated risks shall not have a significant impact on the long-term viability of business operations.

They shall provide a true and fair view of the financial position, operating results, 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.

The management shall be responsible for drawing up the annual consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misrepresentation as a result of fraud or error

When drawing up the annual consolidated 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.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether there are serious misrepresentations due to fraud or error in the annual consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

As an integral part of an audit in accordance with IAS, we make professional judgements and maintain professional scepticism during an audit. We also:

• Recognize and estimate risks of serious misrepresentation in the consolidated 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 nondisclosure 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

  • Gain an understanding of internal controls relevant for audit to form audit procedures that are appropriate for the given circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion about the efficiency of the Company's internal controls
  • Assess the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management
  • Make conclusions on the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting used by the Management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, we conclude whether there is significant uncertainty regarding the events or circumstances that can create serious doubt in the ability of IGH Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude there is serious uncertainty, we are required to draw attention in our Independent Auditor's Report to the related notices in the annual consolidated financial statements, or, if such notices are not appropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained until the date of our Independent Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions can cause the Company to stop operating as a going concern
  • We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual consolidated financial statements, including notices, as well as whether the annual consolidated financial statements reflect the transactions and events they are based on in a way that reflects a fair presentation.

We communicate with those in charge of Management regarding, among other, the planned scope and time schedule of the audit, and the important audit findings, including significant flaws in internal controls discovered during our audit.

We also make a statement to those in charge of Management that we have complied with the relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and will communicate with them on all relationships and other issues that can reasonably be considered to affect our independence, as well as, where applicable, on actions taken to address the threats to independence, and related safeguards.

Among the matters communicated to those in charge of Management, we determine those matters of utmost importance in the audit of annual consolidated financial statements in of the current period making these matters key audit matters. We describe those matters in our Independent Auditor's Report, unless an Act or a Regulation prevents the public disclosure of a matter or, when we decide, under extremely rare circumstances, that a matter should not be disclosed in our Auditor's Report, because it can reasonably be expected that the negative consequences of disclosure would outweigh the benefits of public interest in such a disclosure.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

    1. Based on the proposal of the Supervisory Board , we were appointed by the General Assembly of the Company on 27 Dec 2022 to perform a statutory audit of the annual consolidated financial statements for 2023
    1. At the date of this Report, we are continuously engaged in carrying out the company's statutory audit for 2023, which amounts to 1 year in total
    1. In the audit of the IGH Group annual consolidated financial statements for the year 2023, we determined the materiality of financial statements as a whole in the amount of EUR 278 thousand, which is approximately 5,5% of the EBITDA, as we consider that due to the high

depreciation and financing costs, this is the most appropriate benchmark for measuring the Group's performance

    1. Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional Report for the IGH Group's Audit Committee drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014
    1. During the period between the initial date of the audited 2023 consolidated financial statements of the IGH Group, and the date of this Report, we did not provide forbidden non-audit services to the Company and we did not, in the business year prior to the abovementioned period, provide services for the design and implementation of internal control procedures or risk management procedures related to the preparation and/or control of financial information or the design and implementation of technological systems for financial information, and we maintained our independence in relation to the Company during our audit.

A Report based the requirement of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 of 17 December 2018 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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-2023-12-31-en in all material respects prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

Responsibilities of the Management and those in charge of management

The IGH Group Management is responsible for the preparation and content of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulation on ESEF.

In addition, the IGH Group's Management is responsible for the maintenance of internal control systems that reasonably ensure the preparation of the consolidated 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 is also responsible for:

  • Disclosure to the public of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report in the current XHTML format, and

  • 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 consolidated financial statements in ESEF format as part of the financial reporting process.

The responsibilities of the Auditor

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion, based on the audit evidence collected, whether the consolidated 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 conducted procedures

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 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report were prepared using the valid XHTML format

  • The data contained in the consolidated 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.

Conclusion

In our opinion, based on conducted procedures and obtained evidence, the consolidated financial statements presented in the ESEF format, contained in the above-mentioned attached electronic file and pursuant to the provision of Article 462 (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 31 December 2023.

In addition to this conclusion, as well as the opinion contained in this Independent Auditor's Report for the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023, we do not express any opinion on the information contained in these statements or on other information contained in the above-mentioned file.

The partner engaged in the audit, which resulted in this Independent Auditor's Report is Paško Anić-Antić.

IGH Group is currently assessing the impact of new standards and amendments to existing standards on its financial statements.

2.3 Basis for measurement

The financial statements are presented in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for the following:

  • Revaluations of the value of land and buildings as stated in Note 3.10 (i)
  • Investments in real estate as stated in Note 3.12.
  • Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income as stated in Note 3.19
  • Non-current assets intended for sale as stated in Note 3.23
  • The methods used to measure the fair value are presented in Note 3.24.

2.4 Functional currency and presentation currency

(a) Fundamental and Reporting currency

The items included in the financial statements of the Company are reported in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (functional currency). Since the Republic of Croatia introduced the Euro as the official currency from 1 January 2023 in accordance with the Act on the introduction of the Euro as the official currency in the Republic of Croatia, the Company changed the presentation currency from HRK to EURO for the purpose of preparing financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were first prepared in thousands EUR. The Euro is also the functional currency of the Company from 1 January 2023 (until 1 January 2023 the functional currency was the HRK).

Although the change in the presentation currency in the financial statements constitutes a change in accounting policy, requiring retroactive application, the Company did not disclose the third balance sheet in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 in accordance with International Accounting Standard 8 (IAS) Accounting Policy, changes in Accounting estimates and errors, as it found that the change in the presentation currency had no significant impact on the financial statements of the Company, due to the stable exchange rate of HRK/EUR in recent years.

The level of rounding shown in the accounts is in thousands of Euros.

2.5 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management 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 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.

2.6 Going concern

During 2013, INSTITUT IGH d.d. initiated pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings. On the basis of this, the Company concluded an agreement with creditors on the restructuring of liabilities, and limited the exposure arising from co-debtor relationships with certain related companies. Regardless of the financial restructuring, the Company increased the capital (recapitalized) at that time by issuing new shares and initiated the process of selling certain assets in order to ensure the necessary solvency.

The pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure was successfully completed through a Decision of the Commercial Court in Zagreb no. 72. Stpn- 305/13 of 5 December 2013 which approved the conclusion of the Pre-bankruptcy settlement between the debtor, Institut IGH d.d. and the creditor of the Pre-bankruptcy settlement. The Pre-bankruptcy settlement became final on 28 December 2013. The effects and the fulfilment of the Pre-bankruptcy settlement are described in detail in note 35. As of 15 February 2024, the Company settled all pre-bankruptcy settlement commitments which amounted 38 thous. Euro on 31Dec 2023.

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 HRK 3,607 thousand, but recorded operating profit in the amount of EUR 1,954 thousand (2022 profit amounting to EUR 2,002 thousand). The IGH Group's capital is positive at EUR 3.878 thousand (in 2022 the capital was negative at EUR 12.999 thousand). On 31 December 2023, short-term liabilities of the IGH Group exceed short-term assets by EUR 2.992 thousand (2022: short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets by EUR 17.987 thousand).

Since the final pre-bankruptcy agreement to 31 December 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 15 Feb 2024.

These financial reports have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern

In 2024, the IGH Group's management continued 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 is formally the main task of the Management Board, which is in the process of implementation, and it is expected to be concluded by 30 June 2024.

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.

3. Principal accounting policies

3.1. Principal accounting judgements and estimates

Key judgements in the application of accounting policies

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 recognised 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 IGH Group recognises 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. If it is not possible to reliably assess the outcome of the contract, revenue under the contract shall be recognised to the extent that the costs incurred by the contract are likely to be recoverable. Contract costs shall be recognised 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 recognised immediately as a cost.

(ii) Lifetime of real estate, plant and equipment

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 IGH Group 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.

(iii) Pre-bankruptcy settlement and going concern

The Company shall consider all material information relating to all key risk factors, assumptions and uncertainties that it is aware are relevant to the IGH Group's ability to continue to operate under the assumption of a going concern.

The IGH Group continuously invests maximum efforts with the aim of increasing operational business, and the year 2023 is significant for the settlement of almost the entire debt from the pre-bankruptcy settlement.

________________________________________________________________________ The pre-bankruptcy debt as at 31 Dec2023 amounts to Euro 38 thousand and has been fully settled by 15 Feb 2024. The IGH Group 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 nonfinancial institutions as well as all information on the progress of restructuring of debt towards financial institutions, the IGH Group considers that it meets all operating requirements under the assumption of going concern.

(iv) Valuation of liabilities according to pre-bankruptcy settlement

The IGH Group has reduced its obligations related to loan obligations that will be settled from the IGH Group'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.

3.2. Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies over which the INSTITUT IGH d.d. 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.

3.3. Investments in associated companies

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.

Transactions eliminated in consolidation

The balance and transactions among Group members and all unrealised 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.

Transactions with non-controlling interests

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. Adjustment of non-controlling interest is 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.

Loss of control

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

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.

3.4. Revenue

Policies for recognition of revenue and enforcement obligations

Revenue is measured on the basis of fee specified in the contract with the customer. 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 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 IGH Group involve only one obligation of performance.

Recognition of revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 is applicable to the following sources of revenue:

(i) Construction contracts

The main revenue generated by the 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 IGH Group's accounting policies for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers reflect:

  • the dynamics by which contractual obligations are fulfilled, corresponding to the transfer of goods or services to the customer;
  • the amount the seller expects to be entitled to receive as compensation for their activities.

Contractual terms and the way in which the IGH Group manages construction contracts are mainly derived from projects that contain a single performance obligation. 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, 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 IGH Group recognize as revenue the gross amount it expects to be entitled to receive on handover. In cases where control is not taken, 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 IGH 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 assets and contractual liabilities

Contractual liabilities are entered when the client has made payment for goods or services, and the IGH Group did not fulfil their obligation by delivering these goods or services. If the 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).

(ii) Income from state aid

State aid is recognized when there is a reasonable belief that the 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 IGH Group 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.

(iii) Financial revenue and costs

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 Financial revenue.

Income from interest is recognised in the profit and loss account on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised 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 recognised in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) Revenue from rent

Revenue from rent is recognized in the period when the rent was provided and refers to operative rent.

3.5. Leases

a) Impact on the accounting of the Lessee

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 is 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 are low value lease contracts (up to 30 thousand HRK) and short duration contracts which are recognized as costs in the period to which they refer.

The IGH Group leases certain plants and equipment. Finance leases are capitalised 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.

3.6. Foreign currencies

Transactions and balances in foreign currencies

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 recognised 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 GEL on 31 December 2023 was 2,9324 GEL for 1 EURO (31 Dec 2022: 2,6112 GEL for 1 EURO).

Official exchange rate of B&H currency on 31December 2023 was 1,95583 BAM for 1 EURO (31 Dec 2022: 1,95583 BAM for 1 EURO).

Official exchange rate of Georgian currency on 31 December 2023 was 61,634498 MKT for 1 EURO (31 Dec 2022: 61,6 MKT for 1 EURO).

Items included in the financial statements of subsidiaries are expressed in the currency of its respective primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates, and which is the reporting currency. Separate financial statements are presented in Croatian Kuna, also the functional currency of the parent Company.

Revenue and expenditures and cash flows from foreign undertakings are recalculated into the functional currency of the Group using the exchange rate which most accurately represents the exchange rate on the day of the transaction, and their assets and obligations are recalculated according to exchange rate value at the end of the year.

Net investment into Group members

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.

3.7. Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the surrender value is recognised 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

3.8. Dividend

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's General Assembly of Shareholders.

3.9. Taxation

Corporate tax

The income tax charge comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised 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.

(i) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax is recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

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 realised simultaneously.

(ii) Tax exposure

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the IGH Group 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.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

The Tax Administration requires the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases is recognised 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.

3.10. Property, plants and equipment

(i) Land and buildings

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 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 recognised directly in other comprehensive income under revaluation reserves. The revaluation increase is recognised as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised as an expense.

When the carrying amount is decreased as a result of revaluation, this revaluation decrease should be recognised 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 derecognised 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 derecognised.

The relevant portion of the revaluation surplus, realised 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 valuers, 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 recognised 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.

(ii) Plants and equipment

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.

(iii) Assets with right of use

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 recognised directly in other comprehensive income under revaluation reserves. The revaluation increase is recognised as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised as an expense.

When the carrying amount is decreased as a result of revaluation, this revaluation decrease should be

recognised 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 derecognised 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 derecognised.

The relevant portion of the revaluation surplus, realised 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 valuers, 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.

(iv) Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised. All other maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

(v) Depreciation

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:

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.

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 recognised in profit or loss within other income/expenses.

3.11. Intangible assets

Patents, licences and software

(i) Ownership of assets

Patents, licenses and computer software are capitalized on the basis of acquisition costs and costs arising from bringing assets into working condition.

(ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are capitalised 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.

(iii) Depreciation

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:

Right to use property of third parties 1 to 2 years; Software, content and other assets 1 to 2 years

(iv) Goodwill

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.

3.12. Investment into property

Investment into property is recognised as an asset when it is likely that future economic benefits from investment into property will inflow into the IGH Group 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 recognised 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 recognised in the profit or loss account of the period in which they are incurred.

3.13. Inventories

The cost of work in progress and finished goods comprise raw materials, direct labour, 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.

3.14. Trade receivables

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 an amortised 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 IGH Group 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:

  • Significant financial difficulties with the issuer or debtor and/or
  • Breach of contract, such as late payment or non-payment of interest or principal and/or
  • The likely initiation of bankruptcy or financial restructuring with the debtor

3.15. Cash and cash equivalents

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.

3.16. Share capital

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 IGH Group 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 IGH Group'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.

3.17. Employee benefits

(i) Pension obligations and post-employment benefits

In the normal course of business, through salary deductions, the IGH 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 IGH Group is not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.

(ii) Severance pay

Severance pay are payable when employment is terminated by the IGH Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The IGH Group recognises 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.

(iii) Regular retirement benefits

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 recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(iv) Share-based payments

As part of the long-term reward plan, the IGH Group 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 nonmarket conditions satisfied.

3.18. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the 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 recognised as a financial expense and the carrying amount of the provision increases in each year to reflect the passage of time.

3.19. Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

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 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.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

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

________________________________________________________________________ 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.

(iii) Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company 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 IGH Group neither transfers nor retains all risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over financial assets.

The IGH Group 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.

Financial liabilities

The IGH Group ceases to recognize a financial liability when its contractual obligations are fulfilled, cancelled or expired. The IGH Group 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.

(vi) Netting

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.

Effective interest method

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.

3.20. Financial guarantee for the contracted obligations and financial liabilities

Financial guarantee of contractual obligations

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, classification and measurement

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.

3.21. Operating segment reporting

The IGH 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 to the Financial Statements.

3.22. Earnings per share

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.

3.23. Non-current assets held for sale

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. Additional information on valuation methods are set out in Note 19.

3.24. Determination of fair value

The IGH Group 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 IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy where such valuations should be classified.

IGH Group

Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 (continued) ________________________________________________________________________

All significant issues related to fair values estimates are reported to the Supervisory Board.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
  • Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The fair value of financial instruments traded on active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. 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 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 maximise 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 IGH Group has made the following significant fair value estimates while preparing the financial statements as further explained in detail in the following notes:

  • Note 14: Property, plants and equipment
  • Note 15: Investments in related parties and other investments
  • Note 19: Non-current assets held for sale.

4. Information on segments

IGH Group is organised 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 IGH Group 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 organisation and key indicators for each segment separately, and accordingly disclosure of this information is adjusted for the current year and previous period.

4.1 Revenue per segment

Set out below is an analysis of the IGH Group 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 (shown in Note 6). Accordingly, segment revenues are presented at this level.

In 2023, based on the merger of Radeljevic d.o.o. and IGH consulting d.o.o., the Company also carried forward tax losses totalling EURO 3,755 thousand.

In 2022, the total amount for the transfer of tax losses in the amount of 2.646 thousand Euros was used in full.

Unused tax losses are not recognised as deferred tax assets in the statement of financial position, as it is unlikely that there will be sufficient taxable profits realised for the utilisation of these deferred tax assets.

Based on non-tax recognized items, the Company increased the tax base by 9.884 thousand Euros, with a tax effect of 1.779 thousand Euros, while it reduced the tax base by 9.028 thousand Euros based on tax recognized items with an effect on the tax effect in the amount of -1.625 thousand Euros. Considering the tax recognized losses that can be used, the company has no obligation to pay taxes at the end of the tax period in 2023. In the next tax period, the Company can't use the remaining tax loss.

The estimated market value for revaluation purposes was determined by IGH Group 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 IGH Group 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:

Valuation methods and techniques Significant unobservable inputs
Land and buildings Correction factors used in
Fair value measurement of land and buildings was performed by
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.
calculating the market price.
Average yield: 7-9%
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.
Among other factors, the
estimated discount rate considers
the underlying quality of the
property, its location and the
currently realisable rent conditions
for similar locations and the
comparative type of property.
The income method considers the present value of net cash flows that
the assets could generate from rent taking into account the expected net
rent based on comparable transactions.
Specific expenses used in
determining the net cash flow in
the income method.
The residual method is based on an analysis of a specific investment
and is focused on determining the value of land planned for
development. The method is applied in the context of developing a
project, if the investor wishes to determine the maximum price to pay for
land in order to profitably realise a project.
Specific costs of construction,
periods of financing, interest
rates, required profit margins and

The cost method for measuring the value of equipment involves
determining the value of the physical, functional and economic
obsolescence of the equipment. Cost value is determined on the basis of
the carrying value of the fixed assets register. In the process of
evaluating physical obsolescence, the current useful life of assets, their
total useful life and remaining useful life is analysed for each assessed
asset separately. Functional obsolescence takes into account the ability
to function over the remaining useful life.
When assessing economic obsolescence, the economic obsolescence
model and the economic indicators model are used.
Among

factors,
the
estimated discount rate is the
expected rate of return that the

In 2023, pre-bankruptcy liabilities were settled as follows:

/i/ 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.

/ii/ 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 30 June and 31 December with an interest rate set at 4.5% per annum.

/iii/ 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.

/iv/ Issued bonds

On 6 June 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 10 June 2013, the Settlement Council of the Financial Agency adopted the Decision on initiating pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings over INSTITUT IGH, d.d. 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 realisation 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 realisation 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.

The bond obligation was settled during 2021.

/vi/. Radeljevic d.o.o. company was merged with the INSTITUT IGH d.d. on 29 Dec 2023 and mutual transactions of receivables and liabilities were cancelled.

32. Financial instruments and Risk management

Financial risk factors

The IGH 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 minimise their potential impact on the IGH Group's financial exposure. The IGH Group 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 IGH Group 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 IGH Group 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) Foreign currency exchange risk

The IGH Group's official currency since 01 Jan 2023 is the Euro (EUR). The IGH Group 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 IGH Group is exposed to the risk of changing the currency exchange rate against other currencies in a way that may negatively affect IGH Group '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

IGH Group

Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 (continued) ________________________________________________________________________

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 IGH Group is exposed to changes in the value of the exchange rate.

The total exposure of IGH Group to changes in foreign exchange rates at the reporting date was as follows:

Georgia (GEL) 0 23 428 155
Macedonia (MDK) 1 119 8 420

Sensitivity analysis to foreign currency risk

The IGH Group is mainly exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate of Euro, in terms of received loans, suppliers and trade receivables. The IGH Group is additionally exposed to changes in the Croatian Kuna exchange rate relative to the GEL due to the operations of the Georgia 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:

The mean exchange rates of currencies to Euro significant for the IGH Group:

c) 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 IGH Group, uses loans with predominantly fixed interest rates and is not exposed to the risk of changing interest rates. The IGH Group does not use active hedging instruments against exposure to interest rate risk.

d) 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 IGH Group and reduce the value of its assets. On 31 December 2023 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 IGH Group 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 31 December 2023 and historical credit losses during that period.

Furthermore, the IGH Group is exposed to credit risk through cash deposits in banks. As of 31 December 2023, the IGH Group cooperated with five banks where it keeps its money and deposits. Risk management is focused on doing business with the most respectable 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 amortised cost. Credit risk shall be measured using a general approach. The IGH Group 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 IGH Group took the CDS for the Republic of Croatia to measure the risk, which at 31 December 2023 amounted to 1,02%. 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.

________________________________________________________________________ e) Solvency risk

Solvency risk is the risk of the IGH Group facing difficulties in settling its liabilities. Solvency risk arises in the general funding activities of the IGH Group 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.

In order to ensure the necessary solvency, the Management actively monitors and manages the collection of receivables and planned outflows.

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 31 December 2023, 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. The Management Board believes that the book value of long-term deposits, receivables and borrowings as at 31 December 2023 approximates their fair value due to the application of variable interest rates on liabilities.

35. Impact of the pre-bankruptcy settlement

On 17 May 2013 the INSTITUT IGH d.d. submitted a Proposal to initiate pre-bankruptcy settlement proceedings. On 5 December 2013 the Commercial Court in Zagreb accepted the Proposal and approved the settlement. In April 2014, the Court ruled that the pre-bankruptcy settlement became legally valid as of 28 December 2013

a. Settlement with suppliers

An agreement was reached according to which 30% of claims are converted into the Company's share capital. 20% of claims will be repaid in cash after the share capital increase or the sale of the Company's assets. The remaining 50% of claims will be repaid in 10 equal semi-annual instalments over the period of 5 years. During 2018, the Company settled trade payables totalling HRK 10.041

thousand as prescribed in the provisions of the pre-bankruptcy settlement. During 2019 the Company also settled liabilities to related parties, natural persons for service contracts and royalties, nonfinancial institutions and the Ministry of Finance in the total amount of HRK 2.912 thousand. During 2020 all remaining obligations were settled amounting to HRK 196 thousand.

b. Settlement with banks- PIK debt

Out of the total debt, 63.6% was converted into the PIK debt during the initiation of pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure. The PIK debt is to be repaid in one instalment 6 years after the pre-bankruptcy settlement became legally valid. Up to the maturity date, a fixed interest rate of 4.5% per annum is included in the calculation, which is also payable in one instalment 6 years after the pre-bankruptcy settlement became legally valid. The PIK debt will be settled through the sale of assets which are pledged as collateral.

Six years after the settlement will have become legally valid, the Company is obliged to proportionally convert the PIK debt to the senior debt until the senior debt reaches the net indebtedness limit which is equal to 3.5 times of the prior year consolidated EBITDA. If the current Senior debt amount exceeds the default ratio, the PIK debt is not converted into the Senior debt. The Company did not make the conversion because the pre-requirement stated in pre-bankruptcy settlement was not fulfilled.

Under the valid pre-bankruptcy settlement, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation of tangible and in tangible assets and one-off items of income and expenses.

Interest is considered to be the interest expense on the debtor's debts.

One-off income and expenses are those that do not relate to the operating business of the company and are not repetitive. One-off income and expenses relate specifically to, but are not limited to, income and expenses from the sale of fixed assets.

Six years after the settlement has become legally valid and through the process of converting the PIK debt to the senior debt, the creditors had the right to convert their remaining claims into equity at a price of HRK 400 per share, but max. up to 20% of the share capital. If the General Assembly did not invite a creditor to subscribe for the shares, then the outstanding PIK debt is due upon the creditors'

call. Creditors did not request the fulfilment of their rights, the deadline was 31 December 2019. Since the PIK debt was not transferred into shares or into Senior debt, the total amount of HRK 211.081 thousand will be returned or settled by income from sale of assets, or acquisition of the mortgaged assets.

If the sale of pledged assets is realised, the PIK debt (including interest) is settled first and the remainder of receipts is used to settle parts of the senior debt which had liens on that particular asset. If the sales result in a surplus of cash over the creditors' claims, then the surplus belongs to the debtor i.e. the Company.

Senior debt

The first instalment of the Senior debt becomes due 24 months from the date the pre-bankruptcy settlement will have become legally valid. The payments fall due 30 June and 31 December of each year. Instalments are paid 2 times a year with a fixed interest rate of 4.5% per annum. Interest are accrued and paid over the entire repayment period.

During 2016, the Company signed an agreement with banks from the creditor category a), whereby the grace period is extended by an additional 18 months, so that the total grace period is 42 months after the pre-bankruptcy settlement becomes legally valid, consequently reducing the repayment period to 6.5 years after the first instalment becomes due.

As a result of the abovementioned facts, the first instalment of the senior debt of creditors from category a) becomes due 42 months from the date the pre-bankruptcy settlement will have become legally valid. The payments fall due 30 June and 31 December of each year, and the first instalment becomes due on the first of the above dates 42 months after the settlement became legally valid, which is on 30 June 2017. Instalments are paid 2 times a year with a fixed interest rate of 4.5% per annum. Interest are accrued and paid over the entire repayment period. Liabilities for interests accrued on the senior debt for 2022 has been settled in the amount of HRK 0 thousand (2021: HRK 0 thousand). Company is late in paying the Senior debt but the creditors, until the date of this Report, have not made claims for payment in the sense of enforcement. In case the negotiations are not successful, creditors can initiate an enforcement procedure.

Junior debt

The Junior debt has the same repayment schedule as the PIK debt the only difference being that junior debt holders have no liens on the Company's assets. Junior debt was due on 31 December 2019. A fixed interest rate of 4,5% p.a. is calculated on the principle amount. The creditors have not activated the rights they have come into on 28 December 2019 and the obligation was written-off in 2020.

Secured creditors

The principal of the debt towards creditors who have not waived their right to separate settlement in the process of the pre-bankruptcy settlement agreement (secured creditors) is classified as short-term and is presented in Note 25 in the principal amount of EUR 1.161 thousand.

Pledged assets are intended to cover the secured debt and are classified non-current assets held for sale as presented in Note 21 in the amount of EUR 1.632 thousand.

A lien was entered over a part of assets of a subsidiary in which the Company owns shares, proportionally to the amount of the claim of the secured creditor in the amount of EUR 16.875 thousand.

The value of non-current tangible assets held for sale for the purpose of settlement of liabilities to creditors who are not dependent on the pre-bankruptcy settlement (secured creditors) is reduced to the amount of liabilities to secured creditors. Since the ownership over these properties has not changed, their value as well as the related liabilities is recorded in the balance sheet.

It should be noted that the Company is not obliged to pay principal or interest from the ordinary course of business, and the settlement is realised solely through the takeover or sale of pledged property.

The effect on the IGH Group's statement of financial position after the settlement of liabilities to secured creditors by transferring assets held for the settlement of these liabilities, is presented in the following table:

36. The closing of INSTITUT IGH d.d's. Russian subsidiary in Moscow

Impact of the war in Ukraine on the Company's business operations

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 2 March 2022, IGH's Management Board decided to close the Company's subsidiary in Russia, Moscow.

As at 31 December 2023, within the Company's consolidated financial statements, receivables and liabilities related to the IGH d.d. branch, Moscow, Russia, were value adjusted and reported through income and expense positions.
