1.1.2 Assessment of the company's technical level

The benzoic acid plant remained mothballed in 2025.

The company continued to lease its available premises in 2025, generating rental income.

Revenues generated compared to the previous year are:

No.	Products	2025		2024
		lei	%	lei	%
1	Operation of the industrial platform	391,417	100.00	1,053,690	38.22
2	Organic synthesis products	0	0	1,702,980	61.78
	Total	391,417	100.00	2,756,670	100.00

1.1.3. Assessment of technical and material procurement activities

With regard to the procurement of raw materials, supplies, and energy, the company operates freely in a competitive market.

Given that the benzoic acid plant was shut down for the entire reporting period, the company did not engage in any procurement of raw materials (toluene).

1.1.4. Assessment of Sales Activity

With the war in Ukraine and the resulting distortion in the price of benzoic acid, the segments in which Sinteza operated have narrowed significantly. , the Turkish market in particular has almost entirely switched to cheap benzoic acid from China. Furthermore, the economic sanctions in effect in Europe have meant that all of the company's customers in the former Soviet bloc remain inaccessible.

All of these factors led to a situation for 2025 in which Sinteza would have been able to generate benzoic acid sales at a level covering only approximately 35–40% of production capacity. At such a level, production costs would have resulted in operating at a loss, which is why it was decided to continue maintaining the facility and implement a cost-reduction plan.

1.1.5. Assessment of matters related to the company's personnel

As of December 31, 2025, the average headcount was 28 employees.

There were no conflicts within the employment relationships.

Due to the adverse business conditions that prevailed throughout the period covered by this report, the company's management was compelled to take active measures to reduce costs and optimize the allocation of resources.

1.1.6. Assessment of Environmental Impact

The company maintained all authorizations and permits required by applicable legislation for its scope of activity. During the reporting period, there was no major impact on the environment, and there are no disputes related to violations of environmental protection legislation.

1.1.7. Assessment of Research and Development Activities

Sinteza did not conduct any research and development activities related to benzoic acid technology in 2025, due to both limited financial resources and uncertainties regarding this product on the European market.

1.1.8. Assessment of risk management activities

The company operates in a free competitive market and is therefore exposed to normal risks in this regard. The company implements a risk management system, a process that covers the identification, analysis, management, and monitoring of the risks to which it is exposed.

Credit risk – the company has sought to optimize its level of bank exposure, aiming to reduce this exposure. This issue has become important due to the trend in recent years of rising borrowing costs.

Liquidity risk – there is a constant focus on maintaining liquidity at a level above one. Despite all these efforts, the liquidity ratio as of December 31, 2025, was 0.5.

Cash flow risk is monitored daily through weekly and monthly forecasts of receipts and payments.

1.1.9 Outlook on the company’s operations

Given the uncertain situation in the European benzoic acid market, as well as the fact that, in general, the outlook for a business based solely on the manufacture of a single commodity chemical is limited in terms of ensuring the business continuity the company requires, management has focused on diversifying operations.

During the reporting period, the company explored other potential business developments; a portion of the resources required to initiate such programs, as well as to support the liquidity needs for day-to-day operations, were secured through the sale of surplus assets available to the company.

1.1.10 Information regarding internal control

At Sinteza SA, internal control encompasses internal control and internal audit activities. In the area of internal control, the focus was on compliance with regulations specific to the company's operations, adherence to internal policies, decisions of management bodies, and financial and accounting standards.

Internal audit is provided through a service agreement with an independent firm. The internal auditor evaluates the company's control and governance processes using a systematic and methodical approach and brings significant findings identified in the audit report to the attention of the CEO and the board of directors.

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The Group's individual and consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Starting with the 2012 fiscal year, the Company and the Group are required to apply International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company Sinteza S.A. and those of the subsidiary Chimprod S.A., which is consolidated as an entity controlled by the parent company.

Presentation of financial statements

The separate and consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements," based on liquidity in the Statement of Financial Position and based on the nature of income and expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency selected is the Romanian leu. The individual and consolidated financial statements are presented in Romanian lei.

Basis of measurement

The individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for assets—tangible fixed assets—which are measured at fair value every three years.

Accounting policies have been applied consistently for the periods presented in these financial statements.

The going concern principle has been applied.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation and presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts. Estimates,

judgments, and assumptions are based on historical experience. The results of these estimates form the basis for judgments regarding accounting amounts that cannot be obtained from other sources.

When certain elements of the annual financial statements cannot be accurately measured, they are estimated.

Estimates are made based on the most recent reliable information available.

A change in the circumstances on which this estimate was based, or as a result of new information or better experience, may lead to a change in the initial estimate.

Any change in accounting estimates shall be recognized prospectively by including it in the result:

the period in which the change occurs, if it affects only that period; or
the period in which the change occurs and future periods, if the change also affects them.

The Group uses estimates to determine:

doubtful accounts and adjustments for impairment of related receivables;
the amount of provisions for risks and expenses to be established at the end of the financial year for litigation, for the decommissioning of property, plant, and equipment, for restructuring, for pensions and similar obligations, and for taxes;
the useful lives of depreciated assets for which, upon revaluation, a fair value and a new economic useful life are determined.

Judgments and assumptions are reviewed periodically by the Company and are recognized in the periods in which the estimates are revised.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The parent company and the subsidiary organize and maintain financial accounting in accordance with Accounting Law No. 82/1991, as republished, with subsequent amendments and supplements.

Financial accounting ensures the chronological and systematic recording, processing, publication, and retention of information regarding the financial position, financial performance, and other information related to the activities carried out.

The accounting policies have been formulated to ensure that the annual financial statements provide information that is understandable, relevant to users' decision-making needs, reliable in the sense of faithfully representing the company's assets, liabilities, financial position, and profit or loss, free from material misstatements, unbiased, prudent, complete in all material respects, and comparable so that users can compare the company's financial statements over time, to identify trends in its financial position and performance, and to compare the financial statements with those of other companies to evaluate financial position and performance.

Accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these separate financial statements.

The individual financial statements are prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in lei at the exchange rate prevailing on the settlement date of the transactions.

At the end of each month, foreign currency liabilities are valued at the exchange rate of the foreign exchange market, as reported by the National Bank of Romania on the last banking day of the month in question. Exchange rate differences are recognized in the financial statements as income or expenses from exchange rate differences, as applicable.

Exchange rate differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency liabilities at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the month or from those at which they are recorded in the accounts must be recognized in the month in which they arise, as income or expenses from exchange rate differences.

Value differences arising from the settlement of liabilities denominated in lei, based on an exchange rate different from the one at which they were initially recorded during the month or from the one at which they are recorded in the accounts, must be recognized in the month in which they arise, under other financial income or expenses.

Financial Instruments

The parent company and the subsidiary hold the following as non-derivative financial assets: trade receivables, cash, and cash equivalents.

Receivables include:

trade receivables, which are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business;
trade notes receivable, commercial acceptances, and third-party instruments;
amounts owed by directors, shareholders, employees, or affiliated companies.

Receivables are recorded on an accrual basis, in accordance with legal or contractual provisions.

Trade notes receivable may be discounted prior to maturity.

At the end of each month, receivables denominated in foreign currency are valued at the foreign exchange rate published by the National Bank of Romania on the last banking day of the month in question. Exchange rate differences are recognized in the financial statements as foreign exchange gains or losses, as applicable.

At the end of each month, receivables denominated in lei, whose settlement is based on a foreign exchange rate, are valued at the foreign exchange market rate published by the National Bank of Romania on the last banking day of the month in question. In this case, the recorded differences are recognized in the

financial statements under other financial income or other financial expenses, as applicable.

Exchange rate differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency receivables at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the month or from those at which they are recorded in the accounts must be recognized in the month in which they arise, as income or expenses from exchange rate differences.

Value differences arising from the settlement of receivables denominated in lei, based on an exchange rate different from the one at which they were initially recorded during the month or from the one at which they are recorded in the accounts, must be recognized in the month in which they arise, under other financial income or expenses.

Bank accounts include:
- Receivables (checks and commercial paper deposited with banks)
- Cash and cash equivalents in lei and foreign currency
- Checks issued by the company
- Short-term bank loans
- Interest on cash and loans granted by banks in current accounts.

Interest payable and receivable for the current fiscal year is recorded as financial expenses or financial income, as applicable.

Foreign currency purchase and sale transactions, including those conducted under forward contracts, are recorded in the accounts at the exchange rate used by the commercial bank where the foreign currency auction takes place; these generate exchange rate differences in the accounts relative to the exchange rate of the National Bank of Romania.

Foreign currency deposits are valued monthly at the exchange rate communicated by the National Bank of Romania for the last business day of the month.

The liquidation of foreign currency deposits is carried out at the exchange rate communicated by the National Bank of Romania as of the date of the liquidation transaction.

Exchange rate differences between the rate on the date of establishment or the rate at which they are recorded in the accounts and the National Bank of Romania's rate on the date of liquidation of the bank deposits are recorded as income or expenses from exchange rate differences, as applicable.

Tangible Assets

Tangible assets are assets that:
- are held by a company to be used in the production of goods or the provision of services, to be leased to third parties, or to be used for administrative purposes; and
- are used over a period of more than one year.

Property, plant, and equipment include:
- land and buildings;
- technical installations and machinery;

equipment and furniture;
investment property;
advances paid to suppliers of tangible assets;
tangible assets under construction;
real estate investments in progress;
tangible assets used for the exploitation and evaluation of mineral resources.

Tangible assets are initially measured at cost. This is the acquisition cost or production cost, depending on how the tangible asset was acquired by the company.

Trade discounts granted by the supplier and recorded on the purchase invoice reduce the acquisition cost of the assets.

The production cost of fixed assets includes direct production expenses such as direct materials, energy consumed for technological purposes, costs representing employee salaries, statutory contributions, and other related expenses that result directly from the construction of the tangible fixed asset, site preparation costs, initial delivery and handling costs, installation and assembly costs, costs of testing the asset's proper functioning, professional fees and commissions paid in connection with the asset, the cost of product design and obtaining the necessary permits;

Subsequent expenditures related to a tangible asset are recognized:
- as expenses in the period in which they were incurred if they are considered repairs or if the purpose of these expenses is to ensure the continued use of the fixed asset while maintaining its original technical parameters; or
- as a component of the asset, in the form of subsequent expenses, if the conditions for them to be considered investments in fixed assets are met.

Tangible fixed assets are presented on the balance sheet at their fair value. Tangible fixed assets are revalued every 3 years.

In years when no revaluations are performed, tangible assets are presented in the annual financial statements at the value established at the last revaluation, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is calculated starting from the month following their commissioning and until their full recovery of.

Land is not depreciated.

The useful life represents the period during which an asset is expected to be available for use.

The useful lives established by the company for the main categories of fixed assets in its portfolio are those customary in the.

Depreciation continues to be recorded in the accounts in accordance with the useful life and depreciation method initially established. For the depreciation of tangible assets, the Company uses the straight-line method, which involves the

uniform inclusion in operating expenses of fixed amounts, determined in proportion to the number of years of their economic useful life, for the following categories of assets:

buildings;
technical installations and machinery;
equipment and furniture

The initially established useful life shall be revised (either downward or upward) whenever changes occur in the conditions of use initially estimated, when a tangible asset is found to be obsolete, when a period of conservation occurs, or when a technical condition is found that allows for a longer period of use than initially estimated.

As a result of the re-estimation of the initially established useful life, the depreciation expense will be recalculated over the remaining useful life.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include:

development costs;
concessions, patents, licenses, trademarks, rights, and similar assets, and other intangible assets;
goodwill;
advances granted for intangible assets;
intangible assets related to the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources

An intangible asset shall be recognized if, and only if:

it is estimated that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will be obtained by the company; and
the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

An intangible asset is initially recognized at acquisition or production cost, depending on how it is acquired.

Development costs are recognized at their production cost.

The production cost of assets arising from the development phase includes direct production costs such as direct materials, energy consumed for technological purposes, employee salary costs, mandatory contributions, costs of testing the asset's proper functioning, professional fees and commissions paid in connection with the asset, and the cost of obtaining the necessary permits.

Development costs recognized as intangible assets development costs are amortized over the contract period or over useful life, as appropriate.

Financial assets

Financial assets include:

shares held in subsidiaries;
loans granted to group entities;
shares held in associates and jointly controlled entities;

loans granted to associates and jointly controlled entities;
other long-term investments;
other loans.

Financial assets are recognized upon acquisition at cost.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement.

Assets related to the right of use

Recognition and Measurement

A right-of-use asset represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the duration of the lease.

The Company applies IFRS 16 to operating leases.

The Company applies the exemptions provided by IFRS 16 regarding the recognition of a right-of-use asset for the following contracts: short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset has a low value. Costs associated with the execution of these types of exempted contracts are recognized as current expenses for rent over the asset’s useful life.

Initial measurement of the right-of-use asset

At the commencement of the lease, the asset related to the right-of-use is measured at cost by summing the following amounts:

a. the amount of the initial measurement of the liability arising from the lease, representing the present value of the lease payments not yet due at that date, using the incremental borrowing rate;
b. any lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease, less any incentives (discounts) received under the lease;
c. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee between the inception date and the commencement date of the lease;
d. as well as, where applicable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee to restore the location where the underlying asset is situated or to bring it into the condition required under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement.

Initial measurement of the liability arising from the lease

At the commencement date, the lessee must measure the liability arising from the lease at the present value of the lease payments not yet due at that date. Lease payments must be discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequent measurement

After the commencement date of the lease, i.e., the recognition of a right-of-use asset and the related liability, these will be subsequently measured using the amortized cost model as follows:

a. The right-of-use asset—is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term;

b. The liability arising from the lease agreement – is measured similarly to any other financial liability, using the effective interest method, such that the balance is reduced based on the amortized cost and the interest expense is allocated over the term of the lease agreement.

Inventory Items

The accounting entry for the receipt of inventory is made on the date of transfer of risks and rewards.

Upon receipt by the company, inventory is valued and recorded in the books at its initial cost, which is determined as follows:

at purchase cost—for purchased inventory;
at predetermined production cost—for inventory produced by the company;
at contribution value, determined following valuation—for inventories representing a contribution to share capital;
at fair value—for inventories obtained free of charge or identified as surplus during inventory.

Trade discounts granted by the supplier and recorded on the purchase invoice reduce the purchase cost of the goods.

The standard cost method is used to determine the cost of production, taking into account normal levels of materials and supplies, labor, efficiency, and production capacity.

The levels considered normal for material consumption are reviewed every 12-month interval.

Upon removal from inventory, stocks are valued and recorded using the FIFO method, meaning that inventory items that were produced or purchased first are the ones that are consumed or sold first. The items remaining in inventory at the end of the period are those that purchased or produced most recently.

At the balance sheet date, inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary for the sale.

When the company decides to change the use of a tangible asset, the sense that it is to be sold, at the time the decision regarding the change in use, the transfer of the asset from the tangible assets to the category of inventory held for sale.

Revenue

Revenue represents inflows of economic benefits occurring during the fiscal year, which have generated an increase in equity in forms other than those representing new contributions from the owners of the enterprise.

The revenue category includes both amounts received or receivable on behalf, as well as gains from any source.

Revenue is classified as follows:
- Operating income;
- Financial revenue;

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized upon the transfer of the goods to the buyers, their delivery based on the invoice, or under other conditions specified in the contract, which confirm the transfer of ownership of the respective goods to the customers.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following conditions are met:
a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer;
b) the company no longer manages the goods sold to the extent it would normally do so if it retained ownership of them, nor does it retain effective control over them;
c) revenue can be measured reliably;
d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and
e) the transaction costs can be reliably measured.

Revenue from the provision of services is recognized in the financial statements as the services are rendered, in accordance with the stage of completion of the work.

The stage of completion of the work is determined based on the progress reports that accompany the invoices, acceptance reports, or other documents that certify the stage of completion and acceptance of the services rendered.

Interest income is recognized periodically, on a pro-rata basis, as the income is earned.

Royalty and rental income is recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive them is established.

Revenue from the reduction or reversal of provisions, or from adjustments for impairment or loss of value are recorded if justified to maintain them, the risk materializes, or the expense becomes due.

Revenue is measured at the amount agreed upon between the seller and buyer, taking into account the amount of any trade discounts granted.

Revenue collected prior to the balance sheet date that pertains to a ,are presented as deferred revenue.

Expenses

The expenses of the parent company and the subsidiary represent the amounts paid or payable for:

consumption of inventory;
work performed and services rendered for the benefit of the company;
personnel expenses;
the fulfillment of legal or contractual obligations;
provisions;
depreciation;
adjustments for depreciation or impairment.

Expense accounting is organized by type of expense, as follows:

operating expenses;
financial expenses.

Summary expense accounts that include multiple items with different tax deductibility rules are broken down into analytical accounts, so that each analytical account reflects its specific content.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recorded in the accounts under third-party accounts. Accounting for suppliers and other liabilities is maintained by category, as well as by each individual or legal entity.

Employee benefits are recorded in the accounts with the deduction of contributions

Current income tax payable must be recognized as a liability up to the amount unpaid.

Deferred tax is the amount of income tax payable in a .Deferred tax liabilities consist of the amounts of income tax payable in future accounting periods, regarding taxable temporary differences.

They are calculated based on the tax rates expected to be applicable to temporary differences upon their reversal, based on the legislation in force at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets represent the amounts of income tax recoverable in future accounting periods.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legal right to offset current liabilities and assets against tax.

Provisions

A provision shall be recognized in the financial statements when:

the company has a present obligation arising from a past event;
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;

a reliable estimate of the obligation's amount can be made.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are reviewed at the date of preparation of the separate financial statements and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

If an outflow is no longer probable to settle a liability of, the provision is reversed through a credit to income.

Trade and financial discounts

Trade discounts granted by the supplier and recorded on the purchase invoice reduce the purchase cost of the goods.

Trade discounts granted to customers reduce the amount of revenue related to the transaction.

Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets and liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

These are assessed annually to determine whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits has become probable and it is necessary to recognize a liability or a provision in the financial statements for period in which the change in the classification of the event occurred.

Events Subsequent to the Date of the Financial Statements

Events occurring after the balance sheet date are those events, favorable or unfavorable, that occur between the balance sheet date and the date on which the annual financial statements' annual financial statements are authorized for publication. These are disclosed in the notes when they are considered significant.

New standards and interpretations

Amendments to standards applicable in fiscal year 2025 are presented in Note 31.

Compared to the prior year, there were no changes in accounting policies accounting

4. Determination of fair values

The disclosure requirements contained in the financial statements, as well as certain accounting policies of the Company, necessitate their presentation.

The Company proceeded to measure assets and liabilities at fair value as of the date of transition to IFRS and presented the financial statements for prior periods at fair value.

When measuring assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses observable market information to the extent possible. The fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs for the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels, as follows:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: input data, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

If the inputs for measuring the fair value of an asset or liability can be classified into more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is classified entirely at the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the input with the lowest level of uncertainty that is significant to the entire measurement. Valuation techniques and inputs used in performing valuations IFRS 13.91(a) In the valuation report for buildings and land, the appraiser used:

Market data selected by the appraiser: Real estate market analysis:
- Specific real estate market
- Analysis of existing supply in the market
- Demand analysis
- Market equilibrium

b. Information provided by the owner: Documents regarding the history of the properties, repairs performed, and degree of utilization. Presentation of the classification of fair value measurements in full within the fair value hierarchy under IFRS 13.93(b)

Based on the input data used in the valuation technique, the fair value of buildings and land as of December 31, 2024, was classified at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with the valuation performed based on unobservable market data for land and real estate.

As of the balance sheet date, the value of contingent assets cannot be estimated.

30. Events Subsequent to the Financial Statements Date

No events subsequent to the financial statement date have been recorded.

31. Standards and interpretations effective in the current year

Effective January 1, 2025, the following amendment issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union came into effect:

Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates": Lack of Exchangeability

Description: These amendments provide guidance on how to determine the applicable exchange rate when an entity's currency cannot be freely converted into another currency due to legal restrictions or the lack of an active market.

The Company has estimated that the adoption of these amendments to existing standards will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements during the initial application period.

32. Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk

To limit exposure, a risk management policy is currently being developed to ensure the identification and analysis of risks, the establishment of appropriate limits and controls, and the monitoring of compliance with established limits. Risk management policies and systems will be reviewed regularly to adapt to changes in business operations and market conditions.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company or a Subsidiary will encounter difficulties in meeting its financial or non-financial obligations, which are settled in cash or cash equivalents. The parent company's approach to liquidity management consists of ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet maturing obligations under normal conditions. To this end, the Company ensures it has sufficient cash to cover operational needs.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, exchange rates, interest rates, and the prices of equity instruments will affect the Company's revenues

or the value of the financial instruments it holds. During 2025, a significant disruption in the price of benzoic acid was observed on the European market due to the presence of Chinese producers who entered the market with a price below the cost at which the parent company could have produced benzoic acid, taking into account the current market cost of raw materials and energy.

The parent company is exposed to currency risk due to sales, purchases, and loans in currencies other than the functional currency.

The individual financial position of the parent company is as follows:

	LEI	EUR (LEI EQUIVALENT)	USD (LEI EQUIVALENT)
Financial assets
Trade receivables and other receivables	649,104	0	0
Cash and cash equivalents	516,162	653

Loans		0	0
Trade payables and other liabilities	6,196,768	10,197	0
Total	6,196,768	10,197	0

At the group level, the situation is

	LEI	EUR (LEI EQUIVALENT)	USD (LEI EQUIVALENT)
Financial assets
Trade receivables and other receivables	649,119		0
Cash and cash equivalents	516,491	653

---	---	---	---
Loans			0
Trade payables and other liabilities	7,990,503	10,197	0
Total	7,990,503	10,197	0

Taxation risk relates to situations where certain transactions may be treated differently by tax authorities compared to the Company's treatment. This risk stems from the adoption of European tax regulations in Romania effective January 1, 2007, given that the interpretation of the texts and practical implementation procedures may vary. Furthermore, the Romanian Government has authorized the operation of a significant number of agencies and bodies with the authority to conduct various audits of companies operating within Romania. The activities of these agencies and bodies cover not only tax matters but also issues related to regulations and procedures in other areas (occupational safety and health, civil protection, security, and fire safety, etc.). The Company may be subject to inspections as new regulations are issued.

33. Business Continuity Considerations

Given the uncertainty regarding when and how the two ongoing global conflicts will end, the Company's management estimates that the adverse factors currently affecting the European chemicals market as a result of the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran will persist in the future.

It is projected that throughout 2026, the price difference between benzoic acid in Europe and in China will be equal to or greater than US$300–350 per ton, a situation that will continue to allow Chinese producers to export massive quantities to Europe, creating a market situation similar to that of previous years.

The 2026 war in Iran, which escalated sharply in March, caused a widespread increase in prices for energy resources and chemical raw materials.

Oil prices and the impact on the chemical industry: amid attacks and the partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil surpassed $110 per barrel, and gas prices rose significantly.
Toluene and benzoic acid: because both substances are derived directly from oil processing (toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and benzoic acid is produced by the oxidation of toluene), their prices rose in tandem with the increase in oil and energy costs. As global trade growth slowed to 1.9%, supply chains were severely disrupted.
General Trend: The war has increased fertilizer costs by 30–40% and disrupted the supply of many major commodities, suggesting a significant price increase for toluene and benzoic acid in 2026, driven by rising production and transportation costs.

In such a context, Sinteza's benzoic acid operations would have no chance of becoming profitable.

Given the global situation and following analyses conducted to improve performance indicators and generate profits from operations, future projects are focused on diversifying operations, taking into account existing potential.

The Board of Directors' and executive management's plan aims to remove non-essential buildings from the site, reduce taxes and fees, and develop the land to generate revenue.

To implement this plan, a series of works are required regarding sanitation, demolition, and land development, which will implicitly lead to the generation of rental income.

The company is also considering the possibility of renovating the office building to maximize the potential for leasing and utilization.

The sources of funding for the company's own contribution to this project are: a bank loan, a shareholder loan, and the sale of surplus assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the shareholders of SINTEZA SA

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate financial statements of SINTEZA SA and its subsidiary (the “Group”), with its registered office in Oradea, 35 Borsului Road, identified by the unique tax registration code 67329, which comprise the consolidated and separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2025, the consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity, and the consolidated and separate statements of cash flows for the financial year ended on that date, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:
Net assets/Total equity: 22,903,830 RON
Net loss for the fiscal year: (3,379,212) RON
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and separate financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025, as well as its consolidated and separate financial performance and consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Order of the Minister of Public Finance No. 2844/2016 approving accounting regulations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“IAS”), EU Regulation No. 537 of the European Parliament and of the Council (hereinafter the “Regulation”), and Law No. 162/2017 (“the Law”).

Our responsibilities under these standards are described in detail in the section “The Auditor’s Responsibilities in an Audit of Financial Statements” of our report. We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of financial statements in Romania, including the Regulation and the Law, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter—Going Concern

The Company’s operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 resulted in a loss of RON 3,371,174. Consequently, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate sufficient future revenues and on financial support from creditors. We draw attention to Note 33 of the financial statements, which describes the significant uncertainties associated with the current economic and geopolitical environment. In the context of recent geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and the escalation of tensions in Iran in 2026, the energy and commodities markets have been significantly affected. Rising oil and natural gas prices, as well as supply chain disruptions, have led to increased costs in the chemical industry and high volatility in raw material prices. Furthermore, significant price differentials between international markets have created competitive pressures on European producers and negatively impacted the prospects for resuming the Company’s traditional operations.

In this context, the Company’s management adopted a plan of measures to adapt the business model, focusing on leveraging existing assets and generating revenue from alternative sources, as well as optimizing operating costs. These measures are primarily aimed at removing non-essential buildings from the industrial site and reducing related costs, carrying out cleanup, demolition, and land development work to facilitate their utilization, as well as renovating office buildings for lease. The implementation of this plan is supported by the use of financing sources such as bank loans, shareholder loans, and the sale of surplus assets. Management believes that these measures will help maintain liquidity and support operations in the medium term. Our opinion remains unchanged on this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, based on our professional judgment, were of the greatest significance to the audit of the current period’s financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion on them, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

For the key matter below, we have provided a description of how our audit addressed the matter in that context.

Key audit matters	Audit Approach to the Key Audit Matter
Recognition and presentation of revenue from significant and non-recurring transactions

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a significant decrease in revenue, of over 85% compared to the previous fiscal year, due to a reduction in operational activity. In this context, the Company’s financial performance was significantly influenced by non-recurring transactions, primarily:
- revenue from compensation awarded by a final court judgment, as well as related transactions involving the assignment of receivables;
- revenue generated from the sale of fixed assets.
These transactions involve a high degree of professional judgment on the part of management, particularly regarding:
- the timing of revenue recognition, based on the accrual accounting principle;
- assessing the certainty and quantifiability of receivables;
- determining the result of the transactions, including in the case of the assignment of receivables;
- the appropriate classification and presentation of revenue in the financial statements.
Given the significant impact on the results for the year and the non-recurring nature of these transactions, we considered this to be a key audit matter. | To assess the accuracy of revenue recognition and presentation, our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:
- analyzing revenue trends and identifying the main sources of revenue;
- reviewing relevant legal documentation (court decisions, payment agreements, assignment agreements) to assess the certainty of the receivables and the appropriate timing of their recognition in the financial statements;
- verifying accounting records related to compensation income, receivables, and losses from their disposal;
- testing significant transactions related to the sale of fixed assets and verifying the supporting documentation;
- assessing how the results of the analyzed transactions were determined;
- verifying the recording of transactions in the appropriate period;
- assessing the accounting classification of revenues and their presentation in the financial statements;
- performing analytical procedures to identify significant and unusual variations. |

Based on the procedures performed, we did not identify any material misstatements in this regard.

Other Information – Consolidated Directors’ Report

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of other information. Such other information includes the Consolidated Management Report and the Remuneration Report, which we obtained prior to the date of the auditor’s report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover this other information, and unless explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any assurance conclusion regarding it.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our responsibility is to read that other information and, in doing so, to assess whether that other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or with the knowledge we have obtained during the audit, or whether it appears to be materially misstated. We have nothing to report in this regard.

With respect to the Consolidated Directors' Report, we have read it and report that it has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Order of the Minister of Public Finance No. 2844/2016, paragraphs 26–28;

Other reporting responsibilities regarding other information – Consolidated Management Report

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those responsible for corporate governance regarding the consolidated financial statements

The Group’s management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that present a true and fair view in accordance with Order of the Minister of Public Finance No. 2844/2016 approving accounting regulations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management deems necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, where applicable, matters related to going concern, and for applying the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative other than to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

The auditor’s responsibilities in an audit of financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance represents a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will

always detect a material misstatement, if one exists. Misstatements may result from fraud or error and are considered material if it can reasonably be expected that they, individually or in the aggregate, will influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of failing to detect a material misstatement caused by fraud is higher than the risk of failing to detect a material misstatement caused by error, because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, and the circumvention of internal controls.
We understand internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
We evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the related accounting estimates and disclosures made by management.
We conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and determine, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there is a material uncertainty regarding events or conditions that could cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease operations on a going concern basis.
We evaluate the presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosure of information, and the extent to which the financial statements reflect the underlying transactions and events in a manner that results in a fair presentation.
We have communicated/We communicate to those charged with governance, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, as well as the key findings of the audit, including any internal control deficiencies we identify during the audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement regarding our compliance with ethical requirements regarding independence and disclose to them all relationships and other matters that might reasonably be thought to impair our independence and, where applicable, the related safeguards.
Among the matters communicated to those charged with governance, we identify those that were of greater significance in the audit of the current-period financial statements and, therefore, constitute key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report, unless laws or regulations prevent the public disclosure of the matter or, in extremely rare circumstances, we consider that a matter should not be communicated in our report because it is reasonably expected that the benefits to the public interest would be outweighed by the negative consequences of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Provisions – Report on Compliance with the Requirements of the ESEF Regulation

In accordance with Law No. 162/2017 on the statutory audit of annual financial statements and consolidated annual financial statements and amending certain legislative acts, we are required to express an opinion on the compliance of the consolidated financial statements, included in the consolidated annual report, with the requirements of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 of the Commission of December 17, 2018, supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying a single electronic reporting format (“the RTS (Regulatory Technical Standards) requirements regarding ESEF.

Management Responsibilities

The Company’s management is responsible for preparing consolidated financial statements in digital format that comply with the RTS requirements regarding ESEF. This responsibility includes:
preparing the consolidated financial statements in the applicable xHTML format;
selecting and applying the appropriate iXBRL tags, using professional judgment where necessary;
ensuring consistency between the digitized information presented in machine-readable and human-readable formats and the signed consolidated financial statements; and
designing, implementing, and maintaining internal controls relevant to the application of the RTS requirements regarding ESEF.

The auditor’s responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report comply, in all material respects, with the RTS requirements regarding ESEF, based on the evidence obtained. We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence regarding the compliance of the consolidated financial statements with the RTS requirements regarding EFES. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on the auditor’s professional judgment, including an assessment of the significant risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error. Our procedures included, among other things:

obtaining an understanding of the labeling process;
assessing the design and implementation of relevant controls over the labeling process;
reconciliation of the tagged data with the Group’s consolidated financial statements presented in human-readable digital format and with the signed and audited consolidated financial statements, stamped by us for identification purposes;
assessing the completeness of the Group’s tagging of the consolidated financial statements;
assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s use of selected iXBRL elements from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extended taxonomy elements where no appropriate element was identified in the ESEF taxonomy;
assessing the use of anchoring in relation to extended taxonomy elements;
assessing the appropriateness of the digital format of the consolidated financial statements; and
assessing the consistency between the digitized information presented in machine-readable and human-readable formats and the signed and audited consolidated financial statements, stamped by us for identification purposes;

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In accordance with the requirements of ISAE 3000, para. 69, subparagraph (i), we attach to this report our statement regarding the application of ISQM 1 or other professional requirements, or legal or regulatory requirements that are at least as stringent as ISQM 1.

Opinion
