These financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue its activity also in the foreseeable future. In order to assess the applicability of this assumption, management analyzes the forecasts concerning future cash inflows.
As of 31 December 2019, the Group current assets exceed the current liabilities by RON 34,232,662 (as of 31 December 2018: RON 75,191,194 ). In 2019, the Group recorded profit RON 41,817,317 (2017: RON 22,638,706). As detailed in Note 28, the Group gearing ratio is 42% (31 December 2017: 35%). The Group depends on bank financing, as also described in Note 23.
The budget prepared by the Group management and approved by the Board of Administration for 2020 indicates positive cash flows from operating activities, an increase in sales and profitability which contributes directly to improving liquidity and allows the Group to fulfill its contractual clauses with the financing banks. Group management believes that the support from banks is sufficient for the Group to continue its activity in the ordinary course of business, as a going concern.
Based on these analyses, management believes that the Company will be able to continue its activity in the foreseeable future and, consequently, the application of the going concern principle in the preparation of the financial statements is justified.
Basis for consolidation
The financial statements comprise the financial statement of the Company and of its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2019. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
- The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
2.4. Standards, amendments and new interpretations of the standards
First time adoption of new or revised standards
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Company as of 1 January 2019.
The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019.
The Group has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (including the clarifications) for the first time starting with 1 January 2018.
2.5. Summary of accounting and valuation principles
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
3.1. Judgments
In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Investment properties
The Group holds assets which the management decided to reclassify as investment property, as follows:
- The Group owns 36 thousand sqm of land in Bistrita for appreciation, classified as investment property;
- As of 31 December 2018, the Group owned land and buildings (previously used as warehouses), in Constanta. The final destination of land and buildings would be as held for appreciation followed by subsequent sale. In July 2019, the property was sold, registering a net loss of RON 133 thousand.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Acquisition of Wetterbest SA shareholding
As at 30 June 2017, Teraplast concluded the transaction for the acquisition of 50% of Wetterbest SA. Subsequently, in 2017, the Company signed agreements for the acquirement of an additional 17% shareholding in Wetterbest SA.
As at 31 December 2017, following the analysis performed by the Group management, Wetterbest SA was accounted for as an affiliate under the equity method, because the Group did not hold control over the company as of that date. In 2017, the Group did not have a voting majority in the company strategic decisions.
The transaction was finalized after its approval by the Teraplast SA General Shareholders Meeting and receiving the approval from the Romanian Competition Council. Therefore, TeraPlast took control of Wetterbest SA in January 2018, after obtaining the favorable approval of the Competition Council and registering the additional 17% investment with the Trade Register.
Also in 2017, Teraplast has concluded a sale-purchase promise with the minority shareholders of Wetterbest SA, for the rest of their investment up to 99% of the company. According to the contract terms, the transaction will be carried out within 4 years at most, for a price correlated with Wetterbest SA's results in the following years, but not less than a determined amount. As of 31 December 2017, this option was not reflected in the Company's balance sheet, because its exercising was also conditioned by the approval by the Competition Council for sole control.
After obtaining the sole control over Wetterbest SA, the Company recognized, under the "Long-term liabilities" position the fair value of the purchase price agreed with the promissory-sellers. Considering that the control over the decisions of Wetterbest SA is exercised by the Group, the sale-purchase transaction will be carried out for a minimum agreed price and the parties undertook to purchase and, respectively, sell the additional 32% package, the Group consolidates Wetterbest SA if it holds the major 99% package.
The fair value of Wetterbest SA at the date of purchase was of RON 70,556,559, determined following the preparation of a revaluation report by an external appraiser. The consideration for holding 99% was computed in relation to this fair value, resulting a goodwill of RON 35,230,839.
In 2019, further to the conclusion of the sale-purchase agreement for an additional 32% ownership, the value of the transaction was RON 24,269,035 lower than the value of the initial agreement.
In these preliminary financial sattements, as of 31 December 2019, Teraplast SA accounted such reduction of its liability to the minority shareholders of Wetterbest, in correspondence with the reduction of the investment and a reduction of goodwill by such amount.
The impairment test of the investment will be reflected in the final financial statements.

As a result, the Group management is of the view that no adjustment for impairment for credits is needed in addition to the adjustment for doubtful receivables.
The Group's receivables are pledged in full in favor of the financing banks.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The risk management activity within the Group is performed in relation to financial risks (credit risk, market risk, geographic risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk), operating risks and legal risks. The main objectives of the financial risk management activity are to determine the risk limits and then to ensure that the exposure to risks is maintained between these limits. The management of operating and legal risks is aimed at guaranteeing the good functioning of the internal policies and procedures for minimizing operating and legal risks.
(a) Capital risks management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities within the Group will be able to continue their activity and, at the same time, maximize revenues for the shareholders, by optimizing the balance of liabilities and equity.
The structure of the Group capital consists in debts, which include the loans detailed in Note 23, the cash and cash equivalents and the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent Group. Equity includes the share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
Managing the Group's risks also includes a regular analysis of the capital structure. As part of the same analysis, management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated to each class of capital. Based on the management recommendations, the Group may balance its general capital structure through the payment of dividends, by issuing new shares and repurchasing shares, as well as by contracting new liabilities and settling the existing ones.
Just as other industry representatives, the Group monitors the capital based on the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. The net debt is represented by the total loans (including long-term and short-term loans as detailed on the balance sheet) less the cash and cash equivalents. Total capital represents "equity", as detailed on the consolidated balance sheet plus the net debt.
The gearing ratio as at 31 December 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| RON | RON | |
| Total loans (Note 23) | 223,496,943 | 195,065,913 |
| Less cash and cash equivalents | (29,223,431) | (22,817,571) |
| Net debt | 194,273,512 | 172,248,340 |
| Total equity | 278,830,134 | 238,115,865 |
| Total equity and net debt | 473,103,646 | 410,364,205 |
| Gearing ratio | 41% | 42% |
(b)Summary of significant accounting policies
The details on the main accounting policies and methods adopted, including the recognition criteria, measurement basis and revenue and expenses recognition basis, concerning each class of financial assets, financial liabilities and capital instruments are presented in Note 2 to the financial statements.
28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(c) Objectives of the financial risk management
The cash function of the Group provides services needed for the activity, coordinates the access to the national financial market, monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Group operations by way of reports on the internal risks, which analyze the exposure to and extent of the risks. These risks include the market risk (including the foreign currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
(d)Market risk
The Group activities expose it first to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of the exchange rates (see (d) below) and of the interest rate (see [f] below).
The Group management continuously monitors its exposure to risks. However, the use of this approach does not protect the Group from the occurrence of potential losses beyond the foreseeable limits in case of significant fluctuations on the market. There was no change from the prior year in relation to the Group exposure to the market risks or to how the Group manages and measures its risks.
(e) Foreign currency risk management
The Group performs transactions expressed in different currencies. Hence, there is the risk of fluctuations in the exchange rate. The exposures to the exchange rate are managed according to the approved policies.
The Group obtains revenues in EUR based on the contracts signed with foreign clients (as detailed in Note 4).
(f) Interest rate risk management
The interest-bearing assets of the Group, the revenues, and the cash flows from operating activities are exposed to the fluctuations of market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk relates to its bank loans. The loans with variable interest rate expose the Group to the cash flow interest rate risk. The Group performed no hedging operation with a view to reducing its exposure to the interest rate risk.
The Group continuously monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk. These include simulating various scenarios, including the refinancing, discounting current positions, financing alternatives. Based on these scenarios, the Group estimates the potential impact of determined fluctuations in the interest rate on the profit and loss account. For each simulation, the same interest rate fluctuation is used for all models. These scenarios are only prepared for the debts representing the main interest-bearing positions.
The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk taking into account that the Group entities borrow funds both at fixed, and at floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining a favorable balance between fixed rate and floating rate interest loans.
(g)Other price risks
The Group is not exposed to the equity price risks arising from equity investments. The financial investments are held for strategic purposes rather than commercial ones and are not significant. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(h)Credit risk management
The credit risk relates to the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations causing financial losses to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of performing transactions only with trustworthy parties and of obtaining sufficient guarantees, if applicable, as a means of decreasing the financial losses caused by breaches of contracts. The Group exposure and the credit ratings of third parties to contracts are monitored by the management.
Trade receivables consist in a high number of clients from different industries and geographical areas. The permanent credit assessment is performed in relation to the clients' financial condition and, when appropriate, a credit insurance is concluded.
The cash is held in financial institutions which, at the date when it is deposited, are considered to have the lowest reimbursement risk. The Group has policies limiting the value of the exposure for any financial institution.
The carrying amount of receivables, net of the provision for receivables, plus the cash and cash equivalents, are the maximum amount exposed to the credit risk. Although the receivable collection could be influenced by economic factors, the management considers there is no significant loss risk for the Group, beyond the provisions already recorded.
The Group considers the exposure to the credit risk in relation to a counterparty or a group of similar counterparties by analyzing the receivables individually and making impairment adjustments together with the client credit management department.
(i) Liquidity risk management
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management lies with the Board of Directors, which have developed an appropriate liquidity risk management framework in terms of ensuring funding for the Group on the short, medium and long-term and managing liquidities. The Group manages the liquidity risks by maintaining appropriate reserves, bank facilities and reserve loan facilities, by continuously monitoring actual cash flows and by correlating the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Note 23 includes a list of additional facilities not drawn by the Company, which the Group has in order to further reduce the liquidity risk.
(j) Fair value of financial instruments
The financial instruments disclosed on the statement of financial position include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term loans and other debts. The carrying amounts represent the maximum exposure of the Group to the credit risk related to the existing receivables.

Potential tax liabilities
In Romania, there are several agencies authorized to perform controls (audits). These controls are similar in nature to the tax inspections performed by the tax authorities in many countries, but they may cover not only tax matters, but also legal and regulatory matters, the concerned agency may be interested in. The Group companies are likely to be occasionally subject to such controls for breaches or alleged breaches of the new and existing laws and regulations. Although the Group may challenge the alleged breaches and related penalties when the management considers they are entitled to take such action, the adoption or implementation of laws and regulations in Romania could have a significant impact on the Group. The Romanian tax system is under continuous development, being subject to constant interpretations and changes, sometimes retrospectively applied. The statute of limitation for tax periods is 5 years.
The Group administrators are of the view that the tax liabilities of the Group have been calculated and recorded according to the legal provisions.
Environmental matters
The main activity of the group companies have inherent effects on the environment. The environmental effects of the companies' activities are monitored by the local authorities and by the management. The group companies permanently aim at complying with the environmental obligations. As a result, no provisions were set for any kind of potential obligations currently unquantifiable in relation to environmental matters or actions for their remedial.
Transfer pricing
The Romanian fiscal legislation includes the "arm's length" principle, according to which inter-company transactions should be performed at market value. Local taxpayers that perform inter-company transactions should prepare and submit the transfer pricing file with the Romanian tax authorities, upon written request of the latter. Failure to submit the transfer pricing documentation file or submission of an incomplete file may lead to penalties for non-compliance; in addition to the contents of the transfer pricing documentation file, the tax authorities may interpret the transactions and circumstances in a manner different than that of the company and, as a result, they may determine additional fiscal obligations resulting from transfer pricing adjustments. The Group management considers they will not record losses in the case of a fiscal review of transfer pricing. However, the impact of a different interpretation from the tax authorities cannot be reliably measured. It could be significant for the Group's financial position and / or operations.
