The Company did not choose an early application of any standards, amendments to standards, or interpretations which were published, but are not yet mandatorily effective.
According to the Management Board, the following new standards may materially impact the accounting policies applied thus far:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
Effective date in the EU: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
Major changes introduced by IFRS 9 Financial Instruments:
a change in the principles of classification and measurement of financial assets based on a business model whose objective is to manage financial assets as well as characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
The existing four categories of financial assets, as defined in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, will be replaced by two categories, namely amortized cost and fair value;
in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
A change in the principles of classification and measurement of financial assets will drive a change in the classification of financial assets in the financial statements of the Company, but preliminary analysis showed that it is not expected to have a considerable impact on the measurement, profit/loss or equity of the Company. An analysis of the financial assets held by the Company as at 30 June 2017 has shown that, provided that the Company maintains similar financial assets when IFRS 9 Financial Instruments becomes effective, the new classification should not materially change the measurement and hence the Company's profit/loss or equity. The instruments which have thus far been classified as loans and receivables meet the conditions to be classified as assets measured at amortized cost. Hence, the change will not result in any changes in the measurement. The Company does not have any assets held to maturity. Other categories of financial assets measured at fair value in line with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are assets measured at fair value.
The above results of the analysis do not apply to shares held by the Company in entities which are not quoted on active markets, which cannot be reliably measured and therefore are currently measured at cost less impairment losses. An analysis of the impact of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on the financial statements as regards this group of assets has not been completed yet.
As far as the expected credit losses on receivables from buyers are concerned, the new impairment testing model should not have a material impact on the financial statements in the way that additional allowances for expected credit losses are recognized. Other material items of the financial assets of the Company − bonds and loans − are related to intra-group transactions and joint-venture transactions. Those instruments should not require recognition of expected credit losses.
As at 30 June 2017 the Company holds instruments hedging cash flows from issued bonds against the interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in the interest rates. The said IRS instruments are subject to hedge accounting. The implementation of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements in respect of the hedge accounting applied by the Company.
Effective date in the EU: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognize revenue as well as requires such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. It replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and a number of interpretations applicable to revenue recognition.
A preliminary analysis of the impact of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the accounting policies applied thus far has shown that the new standard changes the method of accounting for contracts with customers, in particular if services and goods are provided under a single contract, which happens rarely at the Company. The new IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers guidance is not expected to result in the need to change the systems, but before the standard enters into force the Company intends to carry out an analysis of contracts with customers including contract identification, indication of individual liabilities, determining prices, assigning them to individual liabilities and revenue recognition. The new standard requires considerably more detailed disclosure of sales and revenue in financial statements.
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which have not been endorsed by the European Union and are not yet effective
According to the Management Board, the following standards may materially impact the accounting policies applied thus far:
Under IFRS 16 Leases, the lessee recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is treated similarly to other non-financial assets and depreciated accordingly. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the incremental borrowing rate. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance leases, with the approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from IAS 17 Leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, a lease is classified as an operating lease. A lessor recognizes finance income over the lease term of a finance lease, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment. A lessor recognizes operating lease payments as income on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished.
A preliminary analysis of the impact of IFRS 16 Leases on the accounting policies has shown a change material for the Company, i.e. the need to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases currently classified as operating leases in the financial statements. The Company intends to analyse all its lease agreements to identify leases which require recognition of assets and liabilities in the financial statements. As the effective date of IFRS 16 Leases is remote and the standard has not been endorsed by the EU yet, as at the date of approval of these financial statements for publication the Company had not carried out any analyses which would enable it to determine the impact of the planned changes on the financial statements. The analysis will be conducted at a later time.
Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective date given in the standard, not endorsed by the EU: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
The amendment provides additional clarifications as to some requirements in addition to introducing a new exemption for entities applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers for the first time.
According to the Management Board, the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations will not materially impact the accounting policies applied thus far:

* The European Commission decided not to launch the process of endorsement of the interim standard for use in the EU until the publication of the final version of IFRS 14.
Hedge accounting for the financial assets and liabilities portfolio remains beyond the scope of the regulations adopted by the EU.
The accounting principles (policies) adopted for the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those used for the preparation of the annual financial statements of TAURON Polska Energia S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2016.
No new or amended standards or interpretations applicable to annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016 were issued after 1 January 2016. The standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective since they have not been endorsed by the EU or that have been endorsed by the EU but have not been early applied by the Company are presented in the annual financial statements for the year 2016. In the first half of 2017, only IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts was issued.
In the year ended 31 December 2016, the Company decided to change the presentation of gains/losses on forward and futures transactions – derivative commodity instruments falling within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as well as gains/losses on trading in the inventory of emission allowances purchased for resale and generation of profit in the short term due to volatility of market prices, in the financial statements, which has been discussed in more detail in the financial statements of TAURON Polska Energia S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2016, where the aforesaid change was recognized for the first time.
The effect of the presentation change on the condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2016 is presented in the table below. The change has not had any effect on the Company's profit/loss.

According to the Company, deductible temporary differences related to recognition of impairment losses on shares in subsidiaries of PLN 6 272 745 thousand and a loan granted to a subsidiary of PLN 258 351 thousand will not be reversed in the foreseeable future, as the investments are not intended for sale. Consequently, no related deferred tax asset has been recognized.
As taxable profit is forecast for 2017 for the Tax Capital Group ("TCG") of which the Company is a member, and taxable profit is forecast for the subsequent years, the deferred tax asset related to all deductible differences, except those described above, has been recognized in these financial statements in the full amount.

Impairment on shares in Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o.
In the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 the Company created impairment write-off on shares in subsidiary in amount of PLN 49 212 thousand.
Given external conditions keeping the Company's capitalization below the carrying amount for a long time as well as changes in the prices of commodities on global markets and a change in the situation on the domestic power coal market following mining sector consolidation, the decrease in the prices of RES certificates, amendment of the RES law and implementation of the auction system, the proceeding of functional solutions for the capacity market as described in the Capacity Market Bill, continuing unfavourable market conditions from the perspective of profitability in the conventional power sector i.e. the emergence of the proposed solutions in the so-called winter package which are unfavourable for the conventional power sector, and the rise of the risk-free rate, as at 30 June 2017 the Company performed impairment tests for shares, loans and intra-group bonds. Shares, loans and intra-group bonds account for approx. 94% of total assets at the balance sheet date.
The recoverable amount is the value in use. The calculation method has been presented below.
The tests were conducted based on the present value of projected cash flows from operations of the key entities, by reference to detailed projections by 2026 and the estimated residual value. The projections used for the power generating units covered the entire period of their operations. Reliance on projections covering a period longer than 5 years results mainly from the fact that investment processes in the power industry are time-consuming. The macroeconomic and sector assumptions serving as the basis for projections are updated as frequently as any indications for their modification are observed on the market. Projections also take into account changes in the regulatory environment known as at the date of the test.
The level of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) during the projection period, as used in the calculations, ranges from 7.06% to 10.20% in nominal terms before tax. WACC is calculated by taking into account the risk-free rate determined by reference to the yield on 10-year treasury bonds (3.81%) and the risk premium for operations appropriate for the power industry (6%). The growth rate used for extrapolation of projected cash flows beyond the detailed planning period is at the level of 2.5% and it corresponds to the estimated long-term inflation rate.
The key business assumptions affecting the estimated value in use of the tested entities are:
Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
Additionally, the Company performed a test for the impairment of property, plant and equipment. The relevant assumptions from the test for the impairment of shares were used to this purpose.
The sensitivity analyses performed by the Company have shown that the most important factors affecting the estimated cash flows of significant companies are as follows: the treatment of the capacity market mechanism (with no change in other market condition), forecasted prices of electricity, hard coal prices, prices of greenhouse gas emission allowances and the adopted discount rates.
The result of impairment tests performed as of 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS 36 Impairment of assets indicated a loss of the carrying amount of borrowings granted in total value of PLN 60 587 thousand and impairment reversal on shares in subsidiary in amount of PLN 120 057 thousand. Impairment applies to the following companies:

In the year ended 31 December 2016, based on a decision of the Financial and Credit Risk Management Unit, the Company hedged a portion of its interest rate risk for cash flows relating to the exposure to WIBOR 6M, designated under the dynamic risk management strategy, i.e. interest on debt securities with the par value of PLN 2 100 000 thousand, through the entry into interest rate swap (IRS) transactions for a term of 4 to 5 years. The aforementioned transactions are subject to hedge accounting with the exception of the first interest period. This is due to the fact that the floating interest rate in the first interest period was determined in advance, hence the Company could not apply hedge accounting principles to cash flows resulting from the first interest period.
As at 30 June 2017, derivative instruments which did not fall within the scope of hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss comprised:

Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
The bonds issued on 16 December 2016 at a nominal value of EUR 190 000 thousand were subordinated, unsecured coupon bearer securities, and they were acquired by the European Investment Bank as part of the operations of the European Fund for Strategic Investments, launched by EIB and the European Commission to implement the Juncker Plan. The euro is the currency of the issue. The bonds will mature 18 years of the issue date, with the proviso that, in line with the description of hybrid funding, the first funding period was defined to last 8 years ("1st Funding Period"), during which the Company will not be allowed to repurchase the bonds early and the bonds may not be sold early by EIB to third parties (in both cases, subject to the exceptions set out in the agreement). The bonds bear fixed interest during the 1st Funding Period and during the next 10-year funding period ("2nd Funding Period") interest will be floating and determined by reference to Euribor 6M, increased by an agreed margin. Under the agreement, interest on the bonds may be deferred. As the bonds are subordinated, any claims arising therefrom will have priority of satisfaction only before the amounts due to the Company's shareholders in the event of its bankruptcy or liquidation. The bond issue has had a positive effect on the financial stability of the Group as the bonds are not taken into account for purposes of calculation of the debt ratio, which is a covenant in some funding schemes. Additionally, 50% of the bond amount has been classified by the rating agency as equity in the rating model, which has had a beneficial effect on the rating of the TAURON Group. The rating assigned to the bonds by Fitch is BB+.
Other bonds issued on the Polish market are dematerialized, unsecured coupon bonds with floating interest determined by reference to WIBOR 6M increased by a margin agreed separately for each issue. The Polish zloty is the currency of the issue and the repayment.
On 20 June 2017, annexes were signed to the agency and deposit agreements as well as to the guarantee agreement of 24 November 2015, under which the scheme was extended:
Until 31 December 2020 the amount of the scheme will not change and is PLN 6 270 000 thousand at the maximum. The level of the margin of funding under the scheme did not change as a result of the extension.
The change in the balance of bonds excluding interest increasing the carrying amount in the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 and in the comparative period has been presented below:

As the schedule had not been met and the material technical terms of the contract signed with the general contractor on the gas and steam unit construction project in Stalowa Wola, determining the safety and failure-free operation as well as the future efficiency and costs of operation of the unit, had been breached, Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A. terminated the contract with the general contractor on 29 January 2016 and officially took over the construction site on 22 February 2016. An inventory of the works performed by the general contractor has been completed. An inventory of the facility has been completed. Maintenance works are being carried out on an ongoing basis in respect of the installed machinery and equipment to prevent their degradation, and the auxiliary equipment is being prepared for commissioning. A concept of completing the investment project under the EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) formula and contracting contractors has been prepared. The proceeding for the selection of the EPCM is in progress.
As a result of the above, in 2015 the Company recognised provisions for onerous contracts with the joint venture Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A. As at 31 December 2016, these provisions amounted to PLN 198 844 thousand.
In the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017, the Company revalued the provisions for onerous contracts with a joint venture due to the unwinding of discount as at the end of the reporting period, which increased the provisions by PLN 2 330 thousand. It also recognized an additional provision for costs of operation of PLN 2 250 thousand and reversed in whole the following provisions:
Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
a provision for costs associated with the fact that due to the delay of the project, the Company could be required to cover the additional operating costs of Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A.
Reversal of the provision for costs relating to the electricity sales contract and the provision for losses which might be incurred under the take or pay clause was the result of the fulfilling the conditions precedent resulting from agreement signed on 27 October 2016 setting out the key boundary restructuring conditions for the project "Construction of a gas and steam unit in Stalowa Wola". The conditions precedent were considered satisfied after repaying by Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A. on 31 March 2017 all its liabilities to the financing institutions, i.e. the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. The funds for repayment of the said bank loans were obtained by Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A. under loan agreements entered into with the Company and Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. as the lenders. To this end, the Company granted a loan of PLN 290 742 thousand, which has been discussed in more detail in Note 21 to these condensed interim financial statements. Once the conditions precedent were considered satisfied, the following documents entered into force:
The aforesaid agreement sets out mainly the terms of settlement of liquidated damages, brings the existing price formulas into line with the market ones as well as governing the issue of financial restructuring of the project. It reflects the will of the project sponsors, i.e. TAURON Polska Energia S.A. and Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A., to continue the construction of the gas and steam unit, modify the gaseous fuel supply contract and the electricity sales contract and change the existing project finance formula to a corporate finance formula. Notwithstanding the above, the sponsors and Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola S.A. have continued their efforts to secure new funding for the gas and steam unit construction project in Stalowa Wola, whose terms and structure would be more favourable than those under the existing agreements.
The annexes to the gaseous fuel supply contract and the electricity sales contract include in particular the application of market price formulas for the contracts in question. Furthermore, due to delays in project completion, the annex to the gaseous fuel supply contract provides for changes in the amount, time limits and methodologies of imposition of liquidated damages. According to the Management Board of the Company, the aforesaid changes constituted a basis for reversal of the provision for costs related to the electricity sales contract and the provision for losses which might be incurred under the take or pay clause in first quarter of 2017.
As at 30 June 2017, other provisions mainly related to provision concerning tax risks resulting from pending inspection proceedings. As at 31 December 2016 the Company recognized provision for the aforementioned risks in the amount of PLN 64 494 thousand. As at 30 June 2017 the provision amounted to PLN 66 576 thousand. An increase in the provision by PLN 2 082 thousand, which was charged to finance costs, is attributable to interest accrued for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017.
The Company is a party to VAT inspection proceedings instigated by the Director of the Tax Inspection Office in Warsaw ("Director of the TIO"). The period of the inspection proceedings was prolonged by the Director of TIO a number of times and the new planned end date is 28 August 2017.
As at 30 June 2017 the largest balance of liabilities to suppliers consisted of liabilities to TAURON Wytwarzanie S.A., a subsidiary and amounted to PLN 164 821 thousand. As at 31 December 2016, the key item of liabilities to suppliers was liabilities to subsidiaries, TAURON Wytwarzanie S.A. and TAURON Wydobycie S.A. and they amounted to PLN 106 417 thousand and PLN 98 682 thousand, respectively.

Regulations regarding VAT, corporate profits tax and social security contributions are subject to frequent changes. These changes result in there being little point of reference, inconsistent interpretations and few established precedents that may be followed. The binding regulations also contain uncertainties, resulting in differences in opinion regarding the legal interpretation of tax regulations both between government bodies, and between government bodies and companies.
Tax and other settlements (e.g. customs or foreign currency settlements) may be subject to inspection by administrative bodies authorised to impose high penalties and fines, and any additional taxation liabilities calculated as a result must be paid together with high interest. The above circumstances mean that tax exposure is greater in Poland than in countries that have a more established taxation system.
Accordingly, the amounts shown in these condensed interim financial statements may change at a later date as a result of the final decision of the tax authorities.
On 15 July 2016, amendments were made to the Tax Ordinance to introduce the provisions of General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). GAAR are targeted to prevent origination and use of factitious legal structures made to avoid payment of tax in Poland. GAAR define tax evasion as an activity performed mainly with a view to realising tax gains, which is contrary, under given circumstances, to the subject and objective of the tax law. In accordance with GAAR, an activity does not bring about tax gains, if its modus operandi was false. Any instances of (i) unreasonable division of an operation (ii) involvement of agents despite lack of economic rationale for such involvement, (iii) mutually exclusive or mutually compensating elements, as well as (iv) other activities similar to those referred to earlier may be treated as a hint of factitious activities subject to GAAR. New regulations will require considerably greater judgment in assessing tax effects of individual transactions.
The GAAR clause should be applied to the transactions performed after clause effective date and to the transactions which were performed prior to GAAR clause effective date, but for which after the clause effective date tax gains were realised or continue to be realised. The implementation of the above provisions will enable Polish tax authority challenge such arrangements realised by tax remitters as group restructuring or group reorganization.

Derivative financial instruments measured at fair value as at the end of the reporting period and classified as assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, or designated as hedging derivatives (subject to hedge accounting), have been measured in line with the method described in Note 22 to these condensed interim financial statements. Disclosures regarding the fair value hierarchy have also been presented in Note 22. Measurement of units in investment funds has been classified to Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Financial instruments classified to other categories of financial instruments:
Consequently, the fair value of the instruments in question has been disclosed in the tables above at the carrying amount;
the Company did not disclose the fair value of shares in companies not quoted on active markets, categorized to financial assets available for sale. The Company is unable to reliably estimate the fair value of shares held in companies which are not quoted on active markets. They are measured at cost less impairment losses as at the end of the reporting period. Similarly, in accordance with the Company's accounting policy, shares in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities (joint ventures) – financial assets excluded from the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – are also measured at cost less impairment losses.
The TAURON Group has implemented the policy for management of specific risks in the area of finance, which defines the strategy for management of the currency and interest rate risk. The policy has also introduced hedge accounting in the Group, which lays down the principles and defines the types of hedge accounting, along with the accounting treatment of hedging instruments and hedged items, to be applied as part of hedge accounting under IFRS. The policy for specific risk management in the area of finance and hedge accounting principles are applicable to the cash flow risk.
As at 30 June 2017, the Company was a party to hedging transactions covered by the policy for specific risk management in the area of finance and subject to hedge accounting. The Company hedges a portion of the interest rate risk inherent in cash flows related to issued bonds, which has been discussed in more detail in Note 22 to these condensed interim financial statements.
Finance and capital are managed at the level of the TAURON Polska Energia S.A. Capital Group. During the period covered by these condensed interim financial statements there were no significant changes in finance and capital management objectives, principles or procedures.
The Company's contingent liabilities arise mainly from collateral and guarantees granted to related parties. As at 30 June 2017, the structure of the Company's contingent liabilities was as follows:

Following the Company's business combination with Górnośląski Zakład Elektroenergetyczny S.A. ("GZE"), TAURON Polska Energia S.A. became a party to a court dispute with Huta Łaziska S.A. ("Huta"), against GZE and the State Treasury represented by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. At present, the case is pending at the Regional Court in Warsaw.
Based on a decision of 12 October 2001, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office ordered GZE to resume electricity supplies to Huta (suspended on 11 October 2001 since Huta had not paid its liabilities) on such terms as set out in the agreement of 30 July 2001, in particular at the price of PLN 67/MWh, until final resolution of the dispute, and on 14 November 2001 the dispute was finally resolved pursuant to a decision stating that discontinuation of electricity supplies was not unjustified. Huta appealed against that decision. On 25 July 2006, the Court of Appeals in Warsaw issued a final and binding decision ending the dispute concerning GZE's energy supplies to Huta. The court dismissed Huta's appeal against the decision of the Regional Court in Warsaw dated 19 October 2005, in which the court had dismissed Huta's appeal against the decision of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. Huta filed a cassation appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeals in Warsaw, which was dismissed by the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 10 May 2007. On 15 November 2001 (following the issue of the above decision by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office on 14 November 2001 and due to the growing indebtedness of Huta to GZE due to power supply) GZE again suspended power supply. Therefore, Huta has sued GZE for damages.
Under a suit of 12 March 2007 against GZE and the State Treasury represented by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (jointly and severally) Huta claimed the payment of PLN 182 060 thousand together with interest from the date of filing the suit to the date of payment, in respect of damages for alleged losses resulting from GZE's failure to comply with the decision of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office dated 12 October 2001.
In this case, the courts of the first and second instance passed judgments favourable for GZE; however, in its judgment of 29 November 2011 the Supreme Court overruled the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remanded the case for re-examination by that Court. On 5 June 2012, the Court of Appeals overruled the judgment of the Regional Court and remanded the case for re-examination by the latter. The first hearing before the first instance court was held on 27 November 2012. In May 2015, a court expert prepared an opinion on correctness of settlements between Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
the parties to the dispute. On 30 June 2015, TAURON Polska Energia S.A. lodged complaints against the opinion in question. Complaints against the opinion were also filed by Huta and the State Treasury. In its decision dated 16 September 2015 the court admitted an additional court expert's opinion concerning charges levelled by the parties as evidence. After the issue of the decision, the Company tried to change the proceeding concept adopted by the Court stating that taking evidence from a court expert opinion is unacceptable. Finally, the Court ordered the court expert to prepare a supplementary opinion. On 5 September 2016, the Company received the supplementary opinion of the court expert and filed charges against the opinion on 12 and 19 September 2016. Charges against the opinion were also filed by Huta and the State Treasury. Another hearing was held on 24 March 2017, but the expert witness appointed by the court did not appear. The hearing was adjourned for an unspecified period. On 20 June 2017 the Court served the Order of 5 June 2017 (issued at a closed session) on admission of evidence in the form of a power industry expert opinion (excluding the previous expert appointed in the case) on the Company's attorneys.
Subsequently the Court asked several court experts and the Power Industry Institute about whether they could prepare an expert opinion in the case. In addition, under the order of 19 April 2017 the Court decided to withdraw the exemption from costs previously granted to Huta.
Based on a legal analysis of the claims the Company believes that they are unjustified and the risk that they must be satisfied is remote. As a result, no provision has been recognised by the Company for any costs associated with those claims.
The claims filed by ENEA S.A. ("ENEA") against TAURON Polska Energia S.A. with the Regional Court in Katowice regard the payment of PLN 17 086 thousand with statutory interest calculated from 31 March 2015 until the payment date for unjust enrichment of the Company arising from settlement of balances on the Balancing Market performed with Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. in the period from January to December 2012. The claim was delivered to the Company on 11 January 2016. As stated by ENEA, the improper settlement was caused by inconsistency in measurement data collected by ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. (as the Distribution System Operator, DSO) and made available to the Balancing Market participants (PSE S.A., ENEA S.A. and the Company) for the settlement purposes. The error resulted in PSE S.A. assigning to ENEA S.A. (as the official seller in the distribution area of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.) the amount of consumed power that should have been assigned to the Company (as the entity in charge of trade balances of power sellers operating in the distribution area of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.).
The dispute concerns the fact that pursuant to the Power Transmission Grid Traffic and Operation Instruction (IRiESP) binding all participants of the Balancing Market, settlements regarding trade balances for a given period may be adjusted within 2 months, 4 months and 15 months after the settlement period. According to IRiESP, after 15 months the settlements become final. ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. informed TAURON Polska Energia S.A. about the necessity to adjust measurement data and the entire settlement after the permitted adjustment period. Therefore, settlements between PSE S.A. and ENEA S.A. and between PSE S.A. and the Company have not been adjusted.
TAURON Polska Energia S.A. responded to the claim with a series of charges. The court obliged ENEA to respond to the Company's reply, which was done on 5 April 2016. On 20 June 2016, TAURON Polska Energia S.A. filed a petition for inviting ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. to take part in the litigation. The Court also admitted evidence from the witnesses' testimonies. On 4 July 2016, TAURON Polska Energia S.A. filed a process document with the court. Six witnesses were questioned in the course of the proceedings. The last hearing was held on 6 March 2017. During the hearing, at the request of ENEA S.A. (made in its pleading of 8 December 2016), the court decided on joinder of defendants in accordance with Article 194.1 of the Code of Civil Procedure – seven sellers for which TAURON Polska Energia S.A. acted as an entity in charge of trade balances in the distribution area of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. in 2012. The additional defendants include two subsidiaries of TAURON Polska Energia S.A.: TAURON Sprzedaż Sp. z o.o., sued by ENEA S.A. for payment of PLN 4 934 thousand plus statutory interest from the date of serving the summons of additional defendant to the date of payment and TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o., sued by ENEA S.A. for payment of PLN 3 480 thousand plus statutory interest from the date of serving the summons of additional defendant to the date of payment. The demand for the payment of the aforementioned amounts as well as the amounts claimed from the other five sellers was made by the plaintiff in case of the court dismissing the claim raised against TAURON Polska Energia S.A. In April 2017 both companies: TAURON Sprzedaż Sp. z o.o. and TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o. filed their replies to the suit, in which they requested the court to dismiss the claim in whole.
The case is still in progress. The hearing was adjourned to the date set by the Court to enable the additional defendants to file their replies to the suit, which have already been filed with the Court by all of them. No provision has been recognised by the Company as it believes that the risk of an unfavourable verdict in the case is below 50%. The subsidiaries of the Company have not recognised any provisions either as they also assess the risk of an unfavourable verdict to be below 50%.

On 18 March 2015, the subsidiary in liquidation terminated long-term contracts concluded in 2009–2010 for the purchase of power and property rights from the wind farms held by companies from in.ventus, Polenergia and Wind Invest groups. The reason for the termination of these contracts by Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o. was a breach of their provisions by the counterparties, involving a refusal to enter, in good faith, into renegotiation of the terms of these contracts. Actions were brought against the subsidiary to declare its termination notices ineffective. In the lawsuit brought by Dobiesław Wind Invest Sp. z o.o., in 2016 the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a judgment dismissing the action to declare the termination notices ineffective. The plaintiff lodged an appeal against this judgment. In 2016 actions were amended by including in them claims for damages due to the termination of the said contracts, with a total amount of approx. PLN 40 000 thousand. As the relevant judicial proceedings are still in the initial phase, we are unable to estimate the final amount of the potential financial consequences for the company and for the Group. Considering the current status of the lawsuits and the accompanying circumstances, the Group believes that the risk of losing the lawsuits for both declaring the termination notices ineffective and securing non-monetary claims as well as claims for damages does not exceed 50%; hence, no provision has been recognized for the related costs.
A claim was filed against the subsidiary Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o. and TAURON Polska Energia S.A. in November 2014 by Dobiesław Wind Invest Sp. z o.o. to reverse the risk of loss. It was claimed that the Company should revoke the liquidation of Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o. in liquidation. The subsidiary's claim was that TAURON Polska Energia S.A. should be obliged to provide security in the amount of PLN 183 391 thousand as a court deposit.
On 8 March 2017 the Shareholders' Meeting of Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o. decided to withdraw from the liquidation of that company. As a result, in accordance with the ruling of the Regional Court in Cracow issued at the hearing of 15 March 2017, the Parties to the dispute exchanged letters presenting their positions with regard to the change that had occurred at the company. The plaintiff upheld its claim as defined in the suit.
After the end of the reporting period, on 2 August 2017, the Company's attorney in the lawsuit above received an amended statement of claim from Dobiesław Wind Invest Sp. z o.o. The plaintiff amended its claims in such a way that it withdrew the original action against the subsidiary Polska Energia Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o. and amended the action against the Company from an action to reverse the imminent danger of loss to an action for the payment of damages. Dobiesław Wind Invest Sp. z o.o. claims the amount of approx. PLN 34 700 thousand plus statutory interest from the date of filing the suit to the date of payment. Moreover, the plaintiff claims establishing the Company's liability to Dobiesław Wind Invest Sp. z o.o. for potential future losses estimated by the plaintiff at an amount of approx. PLN 254 000 thousand (resulting from the alleged torts of the Company) and establishing collateral from the Company of approx. PLN 254 000 thousand in case the court refuses to establish the Company's liability for losses that may arise in the future. The factual basis of the claim is, according to the plaintiff, the termination of long-term contracts for the sale of power and property rights by the subsidiary Polska Energia – Pierwsza Kompania Handlowa Sp. z o.o.
The Company started to analyze the statement of claim and the attached documents and to prepare a reply within the 6 week deadline set by the court. The preliminary assessment of the grounds for the plaintiff's claims indicates that they are completely unfounded.
As the court will have to examine extensive evidence and conduct an analysis of a legal issue which has not been resolved before in the case-law, and as the facts of the case have changed considerably, the case is still being heard by the first instance court and the claim sued has been amended again, it is too early to anticipate the outcome of the proceedings, but it is very likely that the decision of the court will be favourable for the defendants.
After the balance sheet date, on 20 July 2017 the Company received a statement of claim of 29 June 2017 filed by Gorzyca Wind Invest Sp. z o.o. against TAURON Polska Energia S.A. for the payment of damages of approx. PLN 39 700 thousand and for establishing a liability for the losses that may arise in the future from torts, including acts of unfair competition, with a value estimated by the plaintiff at the amount of approx. PLN 465 900 thousand. The case is pending before the Regional Court in Katowice.
The factual basis of the claim is, according to the plaintiff, the termination of long-term contracts for the purchase of power and property rights arising from the certificates of origin (PPAs) by the Polska Energia – Pierwsza Kompania Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with IFRS-EU
(PLN '000)
Handlowa Sp. z o.o. subsidiary, and the total amount of the future loss that will be incurred by all of the Wind Invest Group companies is – as stated by the plaintiff company – PLN 1 212 900 thousand.
The Company started to analyse the statement of claim and the attached documents and to prepare a reply within the deadline set by the court i.e. 18 September 2017. The preliminary assessment of the grounds for the plaintiff's claims indicates that they are completely unfounded.
