Sinteza SA sells the manufactured products in markets such as: Europe. Turkey and Asia. The company sells on the free competitive market, without significant dependencies on a customer or a group of customers.

The company uses both direct sales and through distributors.

The benzoic acid market is generally stable and has been growing steadily for many years. And for the future, the same trend of approximately 5% CGAR will be maintained.

The company operates on the free competitive market, being exposed from this point of view to normal risks. There is no major or significant price or liquidity exposure. The company implements the risk management system, the process covering the identification, analysis, management and monitoring of the risks to which it is exposed.

Price risk - there is a permanent monitoring of this risk taking into account the market on which the company operates, which is a specialized one. In fact, the company applies and will apply in the future, the policy of forming the selling price according to the price of the raw material (Minimum selling price = Purchase price + margin). We specify that resorting to this form of setting prices is a common practice on the specific market on which the company operates;

Credit risk - the company has and will in the future call on resources attracted especially for the financing of investment objectives. The cost of the resources is negotiated and generally dimensioned in relation to the reference rates on the financial market in such a way as to be sustainable on the contractual terms. Potential interest rate variations are also taken into account:

Liquidity risk - there is a permanent concern to maintain liquidity at a supra-unitary level. On 30.06.2023 this indicator had the value of 1.7.

Cash flow risk is monitored daily through weekly and monthly receipts and payment forecasts. The company applies the commercial credit policy in the relationship with traditional customers and correlates the collection terms with payment due dates (suppliers, banks, budgets, salaries).

1.1.9 Perspective elements regarding the activity of the commercial company

The company's strategy in the field of quality is based on satisfying the requirements and needs of its customers and other interested parties by offering on time, quality products according to customer requirements, regulation and environmental protection.

Increasing product quality and aligning the company with the requirements of the EU market. the market with higher margins, will support the company's return to the operational profit zone in 2023.

In the context of the current situation imposed by the state of war in Ukraine, the restrictive measures imposed on Russia and Belarus generate serious consequences and effects on the world economy, including regarding the uncertainty regarding the future of companies in many fields of activity, with implications on the indicators of the situations annual financials. As secondary effects of the war, we mention the increase in the prices of raw materials, delays in the supply of materials, the increase in the prices of fuels, electricity, gas, which ultimately leads to increased costs and a possible decreased profit. At the same time, there is the risk of increasing the duration of collection of receivables from customers, thus creating a blockage in the chain.

The plans of the management in the next period aim at: ensuring the continuity of production, concentrating sales efforts to the producers of corrosion inhibitors and resins, improving the parameters of the delivered benzoic acid, so that it is also possible to access the market segment of food additives, respectively those used in animal feed, segments with higher sales margins. The use/development of technologies that use recyclable materials, the generation of energy through high efficiency methods (cogeneration) and the installation of photovoltaic panels will also be pursued, so that all of these lead to a decrease in the cost of production.

The company will continue to run programs to generate liquidity from the rental and sale of assets that are not intended for the basic activity and to attract other financing. The amounts thus obtained will be used to support the basic activity through investments and working capital.

2. The basis of preparation

Declaration of conformity

The individual and consolidated financial statements of the Group are drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Starting with the 2012 financial year, the Company and the Group have the obligation to apply the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company Sinteza SA and those of the consolidated company (subsidiary) Chimprod SA as an entity controlled by the parent company.

Presentation of financial statements

The individual 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 the overall result.

Functional and presentation currency

The chosen functional currency is the RON. The individual and consolidated financial statements are presented in RON.

The basis of evaluation

The individual and consolidated financial statements were drawn up based on historical cost, with the exception of assets - tangible assets - which are evaluated at fair value every three years.

The accounting policies were consistently applied for the periods presented in these financial statements.

The principle of continuity of activity was respected.

The company's development plans include:

• product portfolio development by contacting some research and development institutions

developing the client portfolio with a focus on those who can offer predictability, higher margins and more favorable payment terms

In the context of the current situation imposed by the state of war in Ukraine. the restrictive measures imposed on Russia and Belarus generate serious consequences and effects on the world economy, including regarding the uncertainty regarding the future of companies in many fields of activity, with implications on the indicators of the situations annual financials. As secondary effects of the war, we mention the increase in the prices of raw materials, delays in the supply of materials, the increase in the prices of fuels, electricity, gas, which ultimately leads to increased costs and a possible decreased profit. At the same time, there is the risk of increasing the duration of collection of receivables from customers, thus creating a blockage in the chain.

The plans of the management in the next period aim at: ensuring the continuity of production, concentrating sales efforts to the producers of corrosion inhibitors and resins, improving the parameters of the delivered benzoic acid, so that it is also possible to access the market segment of food additives, respectively those used in animal feed, segments with higher sales margins. The use/development of technologies that use recyclable materials, the generation of energy through high efficiency methods (cogeneration) and the installation of photovoltaic panels will also be pursued, so that all of these lead to a decrease in the cost of production.

The outbreak of the war on February 24, 2022 brought a series of consequences both directly and indirectly on the entire economy, and in the area of the chemical industry the impact was even more significant. For Sinteza. this negative impact came on several levels: (1) a number of customers from the former Soviet space were directly lost, in 2022 only 10% of the volumes sold the year before were sold in that area, (2) the volumes sold to distributors from Poland also decreased significantly, which in turn also accessed the market in Ukraine and Belarus, approx. 50% of sales and (3) there was a significant decrease in sales from Turkey, the market segment there was lost to a product from China, of lower quality but which came at a lower price, as a result of the reduced price at which China accesses oil from Russia, with the implementation of economic sanctions on Russia.

A high price of Brent oil in Europe and therefore of toluene (which is the raw material for benzoic acid) is still estimated. In addition, the low price of Ural oil for China will continue to allow the influx of cheap benzoic acid from China to the European market. For Sinteza, this situation remains a challenge, but certain measures can reduce the unfavorable effect. These are: (1) improving the ratio between sales channels (direct vs. distribution), (2) emphasizing delivery security (3) diversifying the number of customers in the resins and corrosion inhibitors segment, where our product is appreciated and we occupy a segment relevant. In addition, the benzoic acid market for this application segment is expected to grow in 2023 more than the average.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation and presentation of individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported values. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are based on historical experience. The results of these estimates form the basis of judgments regarding accounting values that cannot be obtained from other sources.

When some elements of the annual financial statements cannot be evaluated precisely, they are estimated.

Estimates are made on the basis of the most recent credible 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 will be recognized prospectively by including it in the result:

  • the period in which the change takes place, if it only affects that period; or
  • the period in which the modification takes place and future periods, if the $\blacksquare$ modification has an effect on them as well.

The Group uses estimates to determine:

  • uncertain customers and adjustments for the impairment of related receivables:
  • $\mathbf{u}$ . the value of the provisions for risks and expenses to be established at the end of the financial year for litigation, for the decommissioning of tangible assets, for restructuring, for pensions and similar obligations, for taxes.
  • lifetimes of depreciated assets for which, upon revaluation, a fair value and $\blacksquare$ a new economic useful life are determined.

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

3. Significant accounting policies

The parent company and the subsidiary organize and manage the financial accounting, according to the Accounting Law no. 82/1991 republished, with subsequent amendments and additions.

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

The accounting policies were developed in such a way as to ensure the provision, through the annual financial statements, of information that must be intelligible, relevant to the needs of users in making decisions, credible in the sense of faithfully representing the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or the company's loss should not contain material errors, should not be biased, should be prudent, complete in all material respects, comparable so that users can compare the company's financial statements over time, to

identify trends in its financial position and performance and to be able to compare financial statements with those of other companies to assess financial position and performance.

The accounting policies were consistently applied to all periods presented in these individual financial statements.

The individual financial statements are prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue its activity in the foreseeable future.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are assets that:

  • are owned by a company to be used in the production of goods or the provision of services, to be rented to third parties or to be used for administrative purposes; and
  • are used over a period of more than one year. $\blacksquare$

Tangible assets include:

  • lands and constructions: $\mathbf{u}$
  • technical installations and machines; $\mathbf{r}$
  • $\blacksquare$ machinery and furniture:
  • $\mathbf{r}$ real estate investments:
  • advances granted to suppliers of tangible assets; $\mathbf{r}$
  • $\blacksquare$ tangible assets under construction:
  • $\mathbf{r}$ real estate investments in progress:
  • $\blacksquare$ tangible assets for exploitation and evaluation of mineral resources.

Tangible assets are initially valued at cost. This is the acquisition cost or the production cost, depending on the method of entry into the company of the tangible immobilization.

The commercial discounts granted by the supplier and written on the purchase invoice adjust the purchase cost of the fixed assets in the sense of the discount.

The production cost of fixed assets includes direct expenses related to production such as direct materials, energy consumed for technological purposes, costs representing employees' salaries, legal contributions and other expenses related to them, which result directly from the construction of tangible fixed assets, site development costs, costs initial delivery and handling costs, installation and assembly costs, costs of testing the correct functioning of the asset, professional fees and commissions paid in connection with the asset, the cost of designing the products and obtaining the necessary authorizations;

Subsequent expenses related to tangible immobilization are recognized:

  • as expenses in the period in which they were made if they are considered repairs or the purpose of these expenses is to ensure the continuous use of the immobilization while maintaining the initial technical parameters: or
  • as a component of the asset, in the form of subsequent expenses, if the $\blacksquare$ conditions are met to be considered investments on fixed assets.

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

In the years in which revaluations are not carried out, tangible assets are presented in the annual financial statements at the value established at the last revaluation minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated adjustments for impairment loss.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated starting from the month following commissioning and until the full recovery of their input value. Lands are not depreciated.

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

The periods of economic use established by the company for the main categories of fixed assets in its patrimony are the usual ones in the chemical industry.

Depreciation is still recorded in the accounting according to the lifetime and the depreciation method originally established. When amortizing tangible fixed assets, the Company uses straight-line amortization, achieved by the uniform inclusion of fixed amounts in the operating expenses, established proportionally to the number of years of their economic use, for the following categories of fixed assets:

  • o constructions:
  • o technical installations and machines:
  • $\circ$ equipment and furniture

The initially established life span will be revised (in the sense of decrease or increase) whenever there are changes in the initially estimated conditions of use, an obsolescence of a tangible asset is found, when a preservation period intervenes or a technical condition is found that allows a longer use than initially estimated.

As a result of the reestimation of the initially established life span, the depreciation expense will be recalculated for the remaining period of use.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include:

  • development expenses;
  • $\blacksquare$ concessions, patents, licenses, trademarks, rights and similar assets and other intangible assets:
  • the goodwill: $\mathbf{u}$
  • advance payments for intangible assets; $\mathbf{u}$ .
  • intangible assets for exploitation and evaluation of mineral resources $\blacksquare$

An intangible asset must be recognized if and only if:

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

An intangible asset is initially recorded at the cost of acquisition or production depending on the method of entry into the heritage.

Development expenses are recognized at their production cost.

The production cost of fixed assets from the development phase includes direct expenses related to production such as direct materials, energy consumed for technological purposes, costs representing employee salaries, legal contributions, costs of testing the correct functioning of the asset, professional fees and commissions paid in relation to the asset, the cost of obtaining the necessary authorizations.

Development expenses that are recognized as intangible assets. development expenses are amortized over the period of the contract or over the period of use, as the case may be.

Financial assets

Financial assets include:

  • shares held in subsidiaries. $\mathbf{u}$ .
  • $\mathbf{m}$ loans granted to entities in the group:
  • shares held in associated entities and jointly controlled entities; $\mathbf{B}^{(1)}$
  • $\mathbf{r}$ loans granted to associated entities and jointly controlled entities:
  • other fixed assets: $\blacksquare$
  • other loans.

Financial fixed assets are recognized upon entering the patrimony at purchase value.

Changes in fair value are recognized in the profit and loss account.

Assets related to the right of use

Recognition and evaluation

Right-of-use asset represents the right of a lessee to use a supporting asset during the lease term.

The company applies IFRS 16 for operational leasing contracts.

The company applies the exceptions provided by IFRS 16 regarding the recognition of an asset related to the right of use of the following contracts: shortterm leasing contracts and leasing contracts for which the underlying asset has a low value. The costs related to the development of these types of exempted contracts are recognized as current rent expenses, during the period of use of the asset.

Initial valuation of the right-of-use asset

On the start date of the leasing contract, the asset related to the right of use is valued at cost, by summing the following values:

  • a. the value of the initial assessment of the liability arising from the lease agreement, representing the discounted value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, using the marginal lending rate;
  • b. any lease payments made on or before the lease commencement date, less any incentives (rebates) received under the lease;
  • c. any initial direct costs borne by the lessee, between the initiation date and the start date of the leasing contract;
  • d. as well as, as the case may be, an estimate of the costs to be borne by the lessee for the restoration of the place where the underlying asset is located or for bringing it to the condition imposed by the terms and conditions of the leasing contract.

Initial assessment of the liability arising from the leasing contract

At the commencement date, the lessee must value the liability arising from the lease at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Lease payments must be discounted using the marginal lending rate.

Subsequent evaluation

After the start date of the leasing contract, respectively the registration of an asset representing the right of use and the related debt, they will be subsequently evaluated using the amortized cost model, as follows:

  • a. The asset representing the right of use is amortized linearly over the entire duration of the leasing contract:
  • b. The debt arising from the leasing contract $-$ is evaluated similarly to any other financial obligations, using the effective interest method, so that the balance is reduced based on the amortized cost and the interest expense is allocated over the duration of the leasing contract.

Inventory items

The entry of stocks is recorded in accounting on the date of transfer of risks and benefits.

On the date of entry into the company, the stocks are evaluated and recorded in the accounting at the entry value, which is determined as follows:

  • at purchase cost for purchased stocks;
  • $\blacksquare$ at predetermined production cost - for stocks produced in the company;
  • at the contribution value, established following the evaluation for stocks $\mathbf{r}$ representing contribution to the social capital;
  • $\mathbf{u}$ . at the fair value - for the stocks obtained free of charge or ascertained plus during the inventory.

The commercial discounts granted by the supplier and written on the purchase invoice reduce the purchase cost of the goods.

In determining the production cost, the standard cost method is used, taking into account the normal levels of materials and consumables, labor, efficiency and production capacity.

The considered normal levels of consumption of materials are reviewed at an interval of 12 months.

When the stocks are out of control, they are evaluated and recorded by applying the FIFO method, respectively the elements of the nature of stocks that were produced or bought first are the ones that are consumed or sold first. The elements that remain in stock at the end of the period are those that have were purchased or produced most recently.

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

The net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal course of the activity, minus the estimated costs for completion and the costs necessary for the sale.

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

Income

Revenues represent increases in economic advantages, intervened during the exercise, which generated an increase in equity in other forms than those expressing new contributions of the company's owners.

The income category includes both amounts collected or to be collected in one's own name, as well as earnings from any source.

Revenues are classified as follows:

  • Operating income:
  • Financial income:

Revenues are recognized based on accrual accounting.

Revenues from sales of goods are recorded at the moment of handing over the goods to the buvers, their delivery based on the invoice or under other conditions stipulated in the contract, which attests the transfer of the ownership of the respective goods to the customers.

Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when the following conditions are met:

  • a) the significant risks and benefits arising from ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buver:
  • b) the company no longer manages the sold goods at the level at which it would have done it, normally, in the case of owning them, nor does it have effective control over them:
  • c) revenues can be reliably assessed:
  • d) it is likely that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will be generated to society; and
  • e) transaction costs can be reliably assessed.

Revenues from the provision of services are recorded in accounting as they are performed, correlated with the stage of execution of the work.

The execution stage of the work is determined on the basis of the work situations that accompany the invoices, reception minutes or other documents that certify the stage of completion and the reception of the services provided.

Interest income is recognized periodically, proportionally, as the respective income is generated.

Revenues from royalties and rents are recognized according to the due dates in the contract.

Income from dividends is recognized when the shareholder's right to collect them is established.

Revenues from the reduction or cancellation of provisions, respectively from adjustments for depreciation or loss of value are recorded in the event that their maintenance is no longer justified, the risk is realized or the expense becomes payable.

Revenues are assessed at the value determined by the agreement between the seller and the buyer, taking into account the amount of any commercial discounts granted.

Revenues collected before the balance sheet date, which are related to the subsequent financial year, are presented as income in advance.

Costs

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

Accounting of expenses is kept according to types of expenses, as follows:

  • operating expenses:
  • " financial expenses.

Synthetic expense accounts that include several elements with different tax deductibility regimes are developed into analytics, so that each analytics reflects the specific content.

The debts

Debts are recorded in accounting on account of third parties. The accounting of suppliers and other debts is kept by category, as well as by each natural or legal person.

Personnel rights are recorded in accounting with withholding of contributions.

Income tax payable must be recognized as a liability to the extent of the unpaid amount.

Deferred tax is the amount of profit tax payable in a future period. Deferred tax liabilities are the amounts of income tax payable in future accounting periods in respect of taxable temporary differences.

It is calculated based on the tax percentages that are expected to be applicable to temporary differences, upon their resumption, based on the legislation in force at the reporting date.

Deferred tax receivables are represented by the profit tax values, recoverable in future accounting periods.

Debts and debts representing deferred tax are compensated only if there is a legal right to offset current debts and debts with the tax. The provisions

A provision will be recognized in the accounting when:

  • the company has a current obligation generated by a previous event:
  • it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to honor the obligation;
  • a credible estimate of the value of the obligation can be made.

No provisions are recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are reviewed at the date of preparation of the individual Financial Statements and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

If an outflow of resources is no longer probable for the settlement of an obligation. the provision is canceled by resuming income.

Commercial and financial discounts

The commercial discounts granted by the supplier and written on the purchase invoice adjust the purchase cost of the goods in the sense of the discount. Commercial discounts granted to customers adjust the amount of revenue related to the transaction in the meaning of the discount.

Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets and liabilities are presented in the explanatory notes if it is probable that some inflows of economic benefits will occur.

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

Events subsequent to the preparation of the financial statements

Events subsequent to 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 are authorized for publication. These are presented in the notes when they are considered significant.

New standards and interpretations

The amendments to the standards applicable in the exercise 2023 are presented in Note 31.

Compared to the previous exercise, there were no accounting policy changes.

4. Determination of fair values

The presentation requirements of the information contained in the financial statements as well as some accounting policies of the Company determine the necessity of their presentation.

The company proceeded to the fair value evaluation of the patrimonial elements on the date of transition to IFRS and presented the Financial Statements of the previous periods at fair value.

When valuing assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses information observable on the market as much as possible. The fair value hierarchy classifies the input data for the valuation techniques used for fair value valuation on three levels, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted price (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access on the valuation date:
  • Level 2: inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

If the input data for measuring the fair value of an asset or liability can be classified at several levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is classified entirely at the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the input date with the lowest level of uncertainty that is significant for the entire assessment.

Valuation techniques and input data used in making valuations IFRS13.91(a) In the building and land evaluation report, the appraiser used:

Market data chosen by the evaluator: real estate market analysis:

  • The specific real estate market
  • Analysis of the existing offer on the market
  • Demand analysis
  • Market balance

b. Information provided by the owner: Documents regarding the history of immobilization, repair work carried out, degree of exploitation.

Presentation of the classification level of valuations at fair value in full in the fair value hierarchy IFRS 13.93(b)

Based on the input data used in the valuation technique, the fair value of buildings and land on 31.12.2021 was classified at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the valuation being carried out based on unobservable data on the active land and real estate market.

As of the semiannual reporting date, the value of contingent assets cannot be estimated.

30. Events subsequent to the date of the financial statements

There were no events subsequent to the date of preparation of the financial statements

31. New standards and interpretations

The following amendments to existing standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU are in force for the current reporting period:

  • $\checkmark$ IFRS 9.39, and 7-Amendments regarding the reform of the reference index of the interest rate.
  • $\checkmark$ IFRS 16 Amendments to leasing concessions related to Covid-19.

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

32. Financial risk management

The group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

In order to limit the exposure, the risk management policy is being developed, so as to ensure the identification and analysis of risks, the establishment of limits and appropriate controls, as well as the monitoring of compliance with the established limits.

Risk management policies and systems will be reviewed regularly, in order to adapt to changes in activity and market conditions.

The parent company aims to develop an orderly and constructive control environment, so that through training standards, employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk is the risk that the group will suffer a financial loss as a result of a client not fulfilling its contractual obligations. The parent company established as a credit policy the individual analysis of each new customer, before offering the standard conditions of payment and delivery.

However, the concrete conditions of the specific market (basic chemical products, on a market with specialized suppliers and customers) sometimes require the granting of some facilities in terms of collection.

This characteristic of the market requires the company not to request real guarantees for its claims.

However, following the individual analysis of customers, sometimes payment is requested in advance or at the time of delivery (non-EU markets).

Liquidity risk is the risk of the Company or the Subsidiary encountering difficulties in fulfilling its financial or associated financial obligations, which are settled in cash or cash equivalents.

The parent company's approach to liquidity management consists in ensuring sufficient liquidity to pay the due obligations under normal conditions.

In this sense, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash to cover operational needs.

Market risk is the risk that the variation of market prices, the exchange rate, the interest rate and the price of equity instruments, will affect the Company's income or the value of the financial instruments held.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposure within acceptable parameters.

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

The exposure is presented in the following table:

Total 1,980,243 8,720,739 Ω

The risk related to taxation concerns the aspects in which certain transactions may be perceived differently by the tax authorities in comparison with the Company's treatment. This aspect resides in the adoption of European fiscal regulations starting with January 1, 2007 at the level of Romania, under the conditions in which the interpretation of the texts and the practical implementation procedures may vary.

Also, the Romanian Government has authorized the operation of a significant number of agencies and bodies with attributions in carrying out various controls on companies operating on the territory of Romania. The activity of these agencies and bodies covers not only fiscal aspects, but also aspects related to regulations and procedures in other fields (safety and health at work, civil protection, security and fire protection, etc.).

It is possible that the Company will be subject to controls as new regulations are issued.
