The company prepared the terms for the public procurement for the selection of employment agencies, where additional mechanisms by which the control of the payments of salaries, taxes, contribution and the respect of other employment regulations will be carried out, and likewise other activities from the implementation plan will continue.

Positive results were achieved in the risk management related to the implementation of key projects, which are relevant for the achievemnt of the competitive advantages of the company in comparison with other ports. On October, 2018 the company obtained the building permit for the extension of the operative quayside of the container terminal fort he Pier I. The building permit became final on November 2, 2018. In the beginning of July 2018, the Municipality of Koper and Luka Koper, d.d. signed a Letter of Intent, which envisages the implementation of spefic mitigating measures for the reduction of environmental impacts of the port's activity. Two work teams were set up for the implementation of the activities defined in the aforesaid Letter. A project team in charge of the risk management related to the construction of the Pier I and the increase of noise is also active. The implementation works for the Sermin entrance to the port, which will decongest the main transport routes toward Koper, increase the decongestion of the traffic in the port and reduce the freight transport in the town's center, are continuing. The ToR for the construction of the RO-RO berth was made, the relating environmental permit and building permits which became final on October 18, 2018, were obtained. Thanks to the construction of the RO-Ro berths the traffic in the Basin I would decongest, the transport routes from the vessel up to the warehouse would be shortened, by which the operational costs and the constraints for the environment would be reduced. The Municipality of Ankaran invited the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to start the procedure and the adoption of the modifications and amendments of the Decree on the National Spatial Plan for the comprehensive spatial arrangement of the international port in Koper, till then it announced the objection to some projects of the extension of the Port of Koper in the Municipality of Koper area.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

13 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always taken care for the improvement of the quality of life in the whole area where the port is embedded. Besides the statutory compliance and the compliance with authorisations, a continuous improvement of environmental management system, objective and regular assessment of performance of such systems, provision of information about environmental performance, open dialogue with public and interested partis, and meanwhile the staff responsible for the maintenance of the established system have contributed to the keeping of the highest environmental standard.

13.1 Care for the environment

Being aware that the port's impacts on the envirronment occur, Luka Koper, d. d., committed itself in its business policy to the sound environmental management wishing to preserve for future generations. Monitoring and management of environmental impacts has so become the part of regular working activities, whereby Luka Koper, d. d., cooperates with competent authorities.

.

The most important goals in the area of natural environment in 2018:

  • To successfully carry out the sustainability report in compliance with GRI standards,
  • To successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements,
  • To reduce emissions of dust at all ten port's locations to 250 mg/m2day and max 5 deviations from 120/th measurements in the course of the year,
  • To keep the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μ g/m3 in the entire Port's area(in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki Bertoki),
  • To keep the percentage of separately collected waste above 89 percent,
  • To drecrease night-time noise to 48 dBA in the direction of Koper,
  • To keep the daily-time noise level to 58 dB in front of closest buildings outside the Port's area and the night-time to 53 dB,
  • To modernise the drainage at the Dry Bulk Terminal and the modernisation of the treatment plant at the Livestock Terminal and to replace some oil interceptors,

  • To keep specific consumption of energy at the last year level, despite the increased throughput and enlarged storage areas and namely for motor fuel 0,25l/t, for electric energy 1.17 kWh/t, potable water 6.4 l/t,

  • Without taking actions (inspection and internal in environmental interventions,
  • Without pollution outside the Port's aquatorium,
  • To ensure an efficient and adequate system of the supply with water for fire extinguishing in the port's area and the provision of an adequate provision of firefighting for specific buildings.

13.2 EMAS certificate

As early as in 2010, Luka Koper, d. d., was awarded the most important environmental certificate EMAS (SI 00004). By complying with norms for the obtainment of the most significant environmental certificate EMAS, the company's strategic guidelines are achieved At the end of 2018, the Company will perform the certification audit in accordance with the EMAS regulations.

13.3 Atmosphere

Striving for a constant reduction in emissions that are produced by the performance of port activities involves many activities. The most important measures for the reduction in dusting are the introduced technology of applying paper mill sludge to the coal and iron ore disposal area. Paper mill sludge builds a solid layer that prevents drifting of dust

13.3.1 Quantity of health hatardous dust particles (PM10)

Control measurements of the total volume of dust carried by Luka Koper, d. d., yet from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. We have set the goal not to exceede 250 mg/m2day and the average of measurement values for the reported period is 111 mg/m2day. In January – September 2018 the company recorded two deviations, which is below the target. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permitted deviations for such measurements

13.3.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurements of fine dust particles (PM10), are carried out by an authorised organisation and are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurements taken in the first half of 2018 were below the target value 30 μg/m3 and

statutory set up volume of 40 μg/m3. The results from two measurement devices are shown automatically every hour on the Port's web page online Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

Comparison of mean values of PM10 ,measurements, January – September 2018 in 2017

13.3.3 Emissions of dust particles on key sources

Since the permitted values of dust particles emissions of key sources are stipulated by law, we perform measurements in the direct vicinity of dust-generating sources (e.g. at loading/unloading of wagons, trucks and ships). The threshold of permitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3. The company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2018.

13.4 Waste management

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of the committment for the environment, Luka Koper,d. d., regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processing. The waste separation is carried out at all terminals, by the users of the economic zone and on ships. Separately collected waste materials are delivered to external waste-processing contractors and agents, wheras organic waste is processed at the composting plant in the port. Luka Koper, d. d., also collaborates with external companies in relation to waste processing.

In January - September 2018, we achieved 88 percent of waste separation and the set objective of 89 percent of sorted separately collected waste was not achieved. The objective was not achieved, since in May the cruise ship delivered a considerable quantity of mixed municipal waste, and the share of separately collected waste decreased accordingly.

13.5 Noise

Noise levels are continuously monitored by devices at three peripheral points around the port, and the results are published online via the Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

In July this year, a new Decree on the threshold values of environmental noise came into force (Official Gazette no. 43/2018), which ranks the port in the group of line source and the airport. With respect to the new threshold values, the results are in accordance with the legislation.

Luka Koper, d. d., holds the environmental permit with respect to the noise emissions due to the operation of the Port of Koper of April 13, 2011 (Decision no. of the decision 35451- 180/2009-4) and the change to the validity of the environmental permit with respect to the noise emissions due to the operation of the Port of Koper of May 15, 2013 (Decision no. 35452-4/2012-2). The threshold values in the existing permit still not take into consideration the values from the new legislation in relation to noise. Luka Koper,d. d., is in the process of obtaining a new environmental permit with respect to the noise emissions.

In case we compare the measured values with values from the existing environmental permit, the night, evening and day – evening – night values exceed the values determined for the first residential buildings towards Koper. The noise level towards Ankaran and Bertoki is within threshold values defined in the environmental permit.

13.6 Energy

13.6.2 Consumption of energy and water

In January - September 2018, due to the electrification of RTGs and the use of RMG cranes, a specific consumption of the motor fuel was slightly lower. The advantage of electric powering of cranes is essentially a major exploitation of the equipment, lower noise and practically zero local emissions of exhaust gases. This is the main reason for the increase of the specific use of the electric power in the first nine months of 2018 in comparison with 2017.

The reason in a higher specific water consumption in the first nine months of 2018 in comparison with 2017 lays in a slightly absolute water consumption.

Specific consumption of energy and water per handled tonne of the total throughput19, January – September 2018 and 2017

1 – 9 2018 1 – 9 2017 INDEX
2018/2017
Electricity consumption (kWh/t) 0.67 0.63 106
Motor fuel consumption (l/t) 0.127 0.136 93
Potable water consumption (l/t) 3.58 3.17 113

Electricity consumption

The major consumer of the electric power in the port is the Container terminal, followed by the Dry bulk and bulk terminal, whcich jointly consume the half of all company's consumed electricity. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff, cold storage rooms at the Reefer teminal, conveyor belts for the transhipment of the dry bulk cargo, lighting and power supply to the reefer containers.

Motor fuel consumption

A lot of ground mechanisation, powered by diesel is used in the port's working processes. The major consumers are terminal tractors, which on average consume 43 percent of motor fuel, followed by rubber tyred gantry cranes RTGs, reach stackers, railway track vehicles, forklifts and tractors. In January - September 2018, the major consumer of the motor fuel was the Container terminal, which consumed 63 percent of the motor fuel.

Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and fort his reason numerous safety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important.

Potable water

The consumption of the potable water does not depend directly on the throughput. Due to a growing occupancy of the port and large number of trucks,as well as transport equipment, additional leakeages on the water distribution network occur. In the first nine months of 2018, several measurements of the quality of the potable water within the port's network were carried out. In buildings in the port's area, no microbiological contaminations were recorded.

Waste waters

In the port mainly urban waste waters are generated and to a lower extent industrial waste waters. Generated industrial waste waters are prior to the discharge adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants, urban waste waters are mainly treated in the Koper central waste treatment plant. In the first nine months of 2018, the measurements of the industrial waste waters generated at the cleaning of containers and the measurements of the urban waste water from small treatment plant were performed. The results were in compliance with the law.

13.7 Effect of the lighting

In accordance with regulations for safe work, Luka Koper d.d. ensures proper lighting, which is required for continuous performance of work processes. The lighting, which illuminates the storage areas, working sites, transport routes and tracks at night is the source of environmental pollution

The lighting in the port'area is in line with regulations and in a way that a light is not directed upwards. A new lighting plan, which is published on the company's webiste, was prepared.

13.8 Marine protection

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement for the performance of port activity, management, development and regular maintenance of port's infrastructure in the Koper's cargo port area, Luka Koper, d.d. regularly takes care to prevent and remove the consequences of the sea pollution. To carry out such actvities we need special equipment, boats and skilled staff. We therefore regularly train the staff, provide training and drills. In exceptional

events at sea Luka Koper, d. d., takes measures in compliance with the valid Protection and rescuing plan of Luka Koper, d. d., in case of industrial accidents.

In January - September leta 2018, 18 incidents were recorded in the port' aquatorium. In all cases of pollution at sea, measures were taken in accordance to the activation scheme of forces and ressources for minor accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area.

In the first nine months of 2018, 147 employees were recruited in Luka Koper Group, whereof 132 in Luka Koper, d. d., which is far above than in the equivalent period in 2017. The majority of new employments involved jobs in the basis throughput processa in the companies Luka Koper, d. d. This employment is carried out to a major extent from the providers of the port's services (IPS) in compliance with the annual HR plan. The company for the disabled people Luka Koper INPO, d. o. o., recruited 10 persons with disability status.

Luka Koper, d. d., adopted the Strategy of the providers of port's service, by which a threepillar business model will be introduced. The model is based on the pillar of regular employments, where there is a constant need for work (pillar I), work through employment agencies (pillar II) and the performance of services resp. outsourced contractual partners (pillar III). In September 2018, 307 job vacancies were published at the Employment Service, and thus the company started the implementation of port'services providers strategy plan. In accordance with the action plan, the recruitment will proceed successively, first recruitments are expected to be implemented in January 1, 2019. The publishment of two public procurements for the selection of the employment agencies and for the selection of contractual partners for outsourced performance of port's services is planned.

Also the number of departures from Luka Koper Group was significantly higher than last year. Among the reasons of the termination of the employment relationship prevail the retirements on the ground of age, the number of consensual termination of employmements has been growing.

Consequently, the staff turnover in Luka Koper Group in the first nine months of 2018 was higher than in the equivalent period last year, but nevertheless it remains at a low level 3.0.

In comparison with the previous year, in the education structure of Luka Koper Group increased the number of employees - secondary school graduates and vocational school graduates – who operate the mechanisation in Luka Koper, d. d. Also the recruitment of the lowest educational level increased.

15 Committment to the community

The extent of the Port of Koper and the volume and impact its activities, require from Luka Koper, that besides the economic impact, to be also responsible for people-friendly and developed environment, where the port is embedded. For many years, the company has been allocating substantial funds in projects and activities in the local and wider environment. In the company's Business strategy until 2030 is written that also in the future the company will be careful stakeholder of a sustainable development.

In January – September 2018, Luka Koper, d.d. allocated EUR 595.2 thousand for sponsorships and donations. The major part of these funds is related to multi-annual contracts, at the end of the first half of 2018, it started to repay the sponsorships and donations for socially useful projects from the call Living with the port published in April. 260 applications were received, whereof 214 projects were selected, mostly from the field of sports and culture. In summer time, when numerous cultural and social events took place in coastal towns, almost all events were sponsored by Luka Koper, d. d.

Luka Koper communicates with its stakeholders transparently and proactively, therefore all activities in the field of corporate social responsibility and sustainale policy, are published on the Sustainable development website www.zivetispristaniscem.si. For 2017 Luka Koper for the first time drew up also the sustainable development Report in compliance with international standards of the sustainable reporting. The general public is promptly informed also through other channels, which are adapted to the relevant public, and namely on the corporate website www.luka-kp.si , monthly Port's gazzette (the redisegned version is distributed also to business partners, representatives of local communities and government bodies, which are directly connected with the Port's community, and the media), through press releases, press conferences, interviews, articles, publications on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange website and through the social websites (Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Youtube). Port's visits are organised throughout the year. In the first nine months of 2018, almost 10.000 visitors, whereof in majority school children , visted the port accompanied by port's guides. The biggest event was held in May, when the Company traditionally opened the port to the public by organising the Port's Day, which was attended by around 3,000 visitors.

Luka Koper strives to conduct a constructive dialogue with stakeholders from the local environment and with their cooperation seeks solutions also in case of negative environmental impacts of the port's activity. Recently, principally the noise, produced by some vessels, was a burning issue. Therefore, the company organised an expert meeting within the European project SUPAIR with the representatives of the local communities, government bodies, professionals and presented also foreign practices.

Committment to the community

An important step forward to the fulfilment of the committments is also the Letter of Intennt signed in July 2018 with the Municipality of Koper, for the conclusion of the Agreement on the implementation of the mitigating measures for the reduction of the environmental impacts of the port's activity and further port's development.

17 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements

Luka Koper, d. d., a port operator and logistic provider, (hereinafter: Company) with registered office at Vojkovo nabrežje 38, Koper in Slovenia is the controlling company of the Luka Koper Group.

The company's Financial Statements are compiled for January – September 2018 resp. as at 30 Sep 2018.

Statement of compIiance

The interim Report has been compiled in accordance with the International Accounting standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The company's financial statements have been compiled in accordance with International Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards (IASB) and European Union and in compliance with Companies Act RS.

Basis for the compilation of financial statements

The financial statements are compiled in euros (EUR), rounded to the nearest unit. Through these consolidated financial statements the company wants to provide the broadest sphere of users useful information on the company's performance from January – September 2018, in comparison with the comparable data for the previous year, together with the company's financial position as at 30 September 2018 in comparison with 31 December 2017.

Separate financial statements of Luka Koper, d. d., for the reporting period January – September 2018 are not audited, whilst the financial statements for the comparable period as at 31 December 2017, are audited.

Changes in accounting policies

The non-audited financial statements of the Luka Koper, d. d. for the reporting period are compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies and principles that were applicable in 2017, except for the following changes:

As from 1st January 2018, Luka Koper, d. d. started to apply two new standards and namely IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenues from contracts with customers.

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

The standard determines the requirements and rules for the recognition and the measuerement of the financial instruments and replaces the standard IAS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, recognition of their impairment and the hedge accounting.

Item IAS 39 IFRS 9
Other investments, measured at cost assets available for sale Investments measured at fair
value through the operating profit
Other investments, measured at fair
value
assets available for sale Investments measured at fair
value through the comprehensive
income
Given loans loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Operating receivables loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Cash and cash equivalents loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost

Classification of financial instruments according to IFRS 9:

On the basis of a new standard, the Company formed an impairment model for operating liabilities, which is not only based on realised credit losses, as applicable in case of IAS 39, but on expected credit losses. On each reporting date the Company measures the value adjustments of the financial instrument for the loss as the amount, equal to expected credit losses over the whole duration.

The Company defined a new model of impairments to this end, which besides the value adjustements is based also on the value adjustments from receivables not yet due. On the basis of the internal credit rating and on the basis of the buyer's country risk the Company defined risk classifications.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The goal of the renewed standard is to give a robust framework for the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers, with clear principles and in-depth disclosures which should lead to the improved comparability of the revenue among the companies, line of business and capital markets. The basic principle of the framework is that the recognition of the revenue reflects the transfer of products and services to the customer in the amount which reflects the compensation for which the company expects it is justifiable, in exchange for these products and services. In order to achieve this goal, IFRS 15 prescribes the application of five steps and namely:

  • step 1 identification of the contract,
  • step 2 identification of performance obligations,
  • step 3 determination of the price,
  • step 4 allocation of the transaction price,
  • step 5 recognition of the revenue

From the analyses of contracts with customers it results that the company fulfils the criteria of a new standard for the recognition of the revenue and that the obligations in contracts are adequately defined, which enables their classification and measurement as well the determination of the term of their fulfilment. Contracts with customers comprise sale of goods and services, which are accounted separately in financial statements.

72

The adoption of new standards IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers for Luka Koper, d. d. did not have any essential impact on the company's separate financial statements and meanwhile on the retained profit.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial risks comprise:

    1. risk management oof the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk,
    1. manage,ent of currency risk,
    1. management of credit risk, and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.

The company's management of financial risks has been organised within the company's finance and accounting department. The specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unpredictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The company has consequently tightened the

control over individual financial categories. The company has recorded also other, primarily nonfinancial risks, which are described in detail under the chapter Risk management.

1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

As at 30 September 2018, Luka Koper, d.d. had has invested 5.3 percent of its assets (at the end of the previous year 5.7 percent) in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal. This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies. As at 30 September 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value equity, amounted to EUR 29,570,714. This value was composed of the value of shares of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets.

Sensivity analysis of finance investments at fair value:

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 30 September 2018

Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -2,957,071
10% 2,957,071
Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 December 2017
Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -2,957,076
10% 2,957,076

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10-percent increase in the fair value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 2,957,071. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

In this case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity.

Shares and interests measured at fair value were valued at publicly applicable exchange rates at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the list of quotations of mutual funds.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect to its liability structure, the company faces also interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have adverse effect on the planned results. In January – September 2018, the company reduced the share of financial liabilities within its total assets from loans by 8.3 percent with respect to the balance at th end of the previous year, and as at the reporting date, these liabilities were recorded at EUR 121,739,327.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liabilities from loans from initial 25.6 percent at the end of 2017 to 22.0 percent in the first nine months of 2018. The effect of the eventual change of variable interests on the future net profit after tax is shown in the table below.

The company has established the interest rate hedge for the largest borrowing which matures in 2031. The instrument was stipulated in 2013 and it matured in the current year.

The sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rates was based on the assumption of potential growth in interest rates of 15, 25 and 50 bp. Given the assumption that the variable interest rates of 15 bp, the interest expense would increase by EUR 44,754, whilst the change of 25 bp, the interest expense would increase by EUR 74,590. In the event of variable interest rates of 50 bp, the interest expens would increase by EUR 304,824.

3. Management of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that the company will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. The company manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows with diverse maturity. Additional measures for preventing from delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delay and charging penalty interest in accordance with the uniform policy of receivable management.

*The item includes also the borrowings from subsidiaries and asociates

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In the first nine months of 2018, the outstanding trade receivables do not even represent 0.1 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the company's estimates the share of trade receivables denominated in US dollars as at 30 September 2018, the risk is neglibilble from the point of view of eventual negative effects for the company.

5. Management of credit risk

Assets exposed to credit risk:

(in EUR) 30 Sep 2018 31 Dec 2017
Non-current loans 16,084 22,592

Guarantees and collaterals granted 5,135,768 5,810,467
Total 121,831,311 70,343,289

The management estimates that the company's exposure to credit risk is low, an due to the risk management mechanisms put in place, there is a low likelihood of damages.

6. Risk management relating to adequate capital structure

The identification of an optimal capital structure and consequently, the approximation of the existing capital structure are of key importance for the company's performance.

Statement of compIiance

The interim Report has been compiled in accordance with the International Accounting standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The Group's financial statements have been compiled in accordance with International Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards (IASB) and European Union and in compliance with Companies Act RS.

Basis for the compilation of financial statements

The financial statements have been compiled in euros (EUR), rounded to the nearest unit. Through these consolidated finacial statements, Luka Koper Group wants to provide the broadest sphere of users useful information on the company's performance from January to September 2018, in comparison with data for the previous year, together with the Group's financial position as at 30 September 2018 in comparison with 31 December 2017.

The non-audited financial statements of the LukaKoper Group for the reporting period are compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies and principles that were applicable in 2017 except the following changes:

As from 1st January 2018, Luka Koper Group started to apply two new standards, and namely IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers.

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

The standard determines the requirements and rules for the recognition and the measuerement of the financial instruments and replaces the standard IAS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, recognition of their impairment and the hedge accounting

Item IAS 39 IFRS 9
Other investments, measured at cost assets available for sale Investments measured at fair value
through the operating profit
Other investments, measured at fair
value
assets available for sale Investments measured at fair value
through the comprehensive
income
Given loans loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Operating receivables loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost
Cash and cash equivalents loans and receivables Assets valued at amortised cost

Overview of the classification of financial instruments according to IFRS 9:

On the basis of a new standard the Group formed a new calculation model for the impairments calculation, which is not based only on the realised credit losses, this applies in the case of IAS 39. On each reporting date the Group measures the value adjustments of the financial instrument for the loss as the amount, equal to expected credit losses over the whole duration.

The Group defined a new model of impairments to this end, which besides the value adjustements is based also on the value adjustments from receivables not yet due. On the basis of the internal credit rating and on the basis of the buyer's country risk the Group defined risk classifications.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The goal of the renewed standard is to give a robust framework for the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers, with clear principles and in-depth disclosures

which should lead to the improved comparability of the revenue among the companies, line of business and capital markets. The basic principle of the framework is that the recognition of the revenue reflects the transfer of products and services to the customer in the amount which reflects the compensation for which the company expects it is justifiable, in exchange for these products and services. In order to achieve this goal, IFRS 15 prescribes the application of five steps and namely:

  • step 1 identification of the contract,
  • step 2 identification of performance obligations,
  • step 3 determination of the price,
  • step 4 allocation of the transaction price,
  • step 5 recognition of the revenue

The Group has made the effect of the impact of IFRS 15 for all Group's companies and actually perceived the impacts in the parent company.

According to a new stabndard, the Group did not have relevant differences in the recognition of the revenue from the sale of goods and services. From the analysis of the contracts with customers it results that the Group fulfils the criteria of a new standard for the recognition of the revenue and that the obligations in the contracts are adequately defined, which enables their classification and measurement as well as the determination of the term for their fulfilment. Contracts with customers comprise sale of goods and services, which are accounted separately in financial statements.

The adoption of new standards IFRS 9 – Financial instruments and IFRS 15 – revenues from contracts with customers for Luka Koper Group did not have any essential impact on the Group's financial statements and meanwhile on the retained profit.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

The most significant risks to which the Group is exposed, include:

    1. risk management of te change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk,
    1. management of currency risk,
    1. management of credit risk and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.

The Group's management of financial risks has been organised within the company's finance and accounting department.The specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unprdictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

  1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

As at 30 September 2018 has invested imela 5.5 of its assets (in 2017, 5.7 percent) in investments measured at fair value, whereof 95 pertained to the parent company. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal. This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies. As at 30 september 2018, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity , amounted to EUR 31,233,185. This value comprised shares of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets.

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured at fair value:

Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,123,319
10% 3,123,319
Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31December 2017
Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,080,283

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 30 September 2018

10% 3,080,283
----- -----------

The sensitivity analysis of finance investments measured at fair value was based on the assumption of 10-percent increase in the value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3,123,319. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

In this case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity.

liabilities within its assets by 9.4 percentage point with respect to the previous business year, as at 30 September 2018, these liabilities were recorded at EUR 105,739,327.

The share of financial liabilities in overall structure of liabilities decreased from 21.8 percent at the end of 2017 to 18.5 percent at 30 September 2018. The effect of eventual change of variable interest on the future net profit is shown in the table below.

The sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate fluctuations is based on the assumption of potential growth in interest rates of 15, 25 and 50 bp. Given the assumption of unchanged borrowing and the growth of variable interest rates by 15 bp, the Group's interest expense increase by EUR 44,754, whilst at change of interest rates by 25 bp, the interest eexpense would increase by EUR 74.590. If the variable interest rates are to grow by 50 base points, the interest expense would increase by EUR 304,824.

3. Management of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. Luka Koper Group manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows required to settle liabilities with diverse matirity. Additional measures for preventing delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delays and charging penalty interest in accordance with the Group's uniform policy of receivable management. In the last three years, due to the surplus of liquidity assets, the Group effected the prior repayment of bank loans.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In the first nine months of 2018, the oustanding trade receivables do not even represent 0.1 percent of all receivables and therefore according to the Group's estimates, the share of trade receivables denominated in US dolars as 30 September 2018, the risk is negligible and therefore the Group did not decided to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Guarantees and collaterals granted 5,258,826 5,942,525
Total 127,644,343 76,424,390

The Group estimates that te Group's exposure to credit risk is low, and due to the risk management mechanisms put in place, there is a low likelihood of damages.
