ANNUAL REPORT OF Cava beach, Dubrovnik THE GROUP AND THE COMPANY VALAMAR RIVIERA D.D.

for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016

Executive Summary

  • In 2016, the Group achieved a strong EBITDA growth of 21% resulting in a total of HRK 513 million (HRK 423 million in 2015). This is largely due to a significant 15% increase in sales revenues (from HRK 1,269 million in 2015 to HRK 1,455 million in 2016) and increased operating efficiency as a result of the adjusted EBITDA margin of 35% (34% in 2015).
  • Total revenues of HRK 1,579 million represent an 18% increase on 2015 revenues of HRK 1,333 million. Of the total revenues, HRK 1,455 million represented sales revenues, while the remaining part were represented mainly by financial income from foreign exchange gains and the sale of the Group's share portfolio. Sales revenue growth was mainly due to a 13% increase in board revenues to HRK 1,175 million (HRK 1,043.3 million in 2015), a 26% increase in outlet revenues and a 57% increase in revenue generated by other operating segments (laundry, travel agency, equipment-rental services, etc.).
  • In 2016, the Group reported 5,144,328 overnights (+8%), and a 4.6% increase in the average daily rate. The increase in board revenues resulted from i) successful realization of large events and groups in the destinations of Dubrovnik and Poreč in preseason, ii) improved Premium and Upscale segments operating performance, iii) better occupancy, iv) increased direct sales channel and active revenue management, and v) acquisition of the hotel group in Baška.
  • The increase in operational efficiency as seen through the adjusted EBITDA margin growth from 34% in 2015 to 35% in 2016 also includes the negative effect of the consolidation costs of the Baška destination during the first six months of this year. Without this negative effect, the comparable adjusted EBITDA margin would be 36% thus representing an actual increase in operational efficiency by 2 percentage points.

In 2016 the Group's net profit grew by HRK 236.9 million and totaled HRK 342.3 million. This is mainly due to i) increased operating profit, ii) positive extraordinary financial result, and iii) one-time recognized deferred tax assets which will burden the gross profit in the forthcoming years of utilization.

  • The enterprise value, as calculated by market capitalization plus net debt, continued to positively grow by 40% as a result of increased EBITDA and efficient debt management.
  • Valamar Riviera acquired 54.71% of the share capital of Imperial d.d. Rab share capital and concluded a Contract for to the management of Imperial's properties and outlets from 1 January 2017. It also concluded a cooperation agreement with Allianz ZB d.o.o. a company managing obligatory pension funds who own 34.22% of the share capital of Imperial d.d. Rab. The agreement established joint activity towards Imperial d.d. Rab.
  • A new set of strategic and development goals for the period to 2020 was presented during Valamar Riviera's Investors Day in 2016, which promote sustainable and responsible development of destinations and include i) HRK 1.5 to 2 billion investments in the existing portfolio, ii) growth of the EBITDA margin of 35 to 38%, and iii) attractive and sustainable dividends to the shareholders.
  • Valamar Riviera signed a strategic cooperation agreement with TUI Northern Europe Limited, TUI UK, and TUI Nordic Holding AB. This agreement includes the branding of the Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* in Rabac as the first Family Life concept in Croatia according to TUI's standards with a three-year cooperation (seasons 2017 to 2019). Valamar Riviera also concluded an allotment contract with DER Touristik Köln GmbH for a three-year period (seasons 2017 to 2019) with occupancy guarantee. With this agreements occupancy at the new 4* resorts in Rabac will be additionally secured.

  • Valamar Riviera continues with its 2017 investment cycle of HRK 873 million which is proceeding as planned and represents the largest investment in the company's portfolio for a single year. The investments mainly include projects for the Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* and Girandella Resort 4*/5* in Rabac, and the continuation of upgrading campsites towards the Premium segment. There is also a range of smaller investments for improving quality, operational efficiency and energy savings.

  • Valamar Riviera fosters transparent relationships and improves the communication of business and financial matters with investors. In 2016, and for the fifth consecutive year, Valamar has received the Share of the Year award by the investing public confirming Valamar's appeal and business excellence.

  • In accordance with our strategic goals until 2020, internal preparations of investment projects are well under way. The projects aim at improving the portfolio facilities, amenities and services. However, the remaining unresolved issues with tourism land, increased VAT and rate of contributions for salaries, (which are both one of the highest on the Mediterranean) hinder further investment potential.
  • Following the successful acquisitions of the Baška hotel group on the island of Krk and the Imperial hotel group on the island of Rab, we are considering further expansion by pursuing new partnership and acquisition opportunities in Croatia and in the region.

Significant Business Events

Valamar Riviera is the leading Croatian tourism company and one of the leading tourism groups in Croatia. Valamar Riviera is a large tourism investor with more than HRK 3 billion invested in its portfolio over the last 13 years. It owns two brands: Camping Adriatic and Valamar Hotels and Resorts. At the end of 2016, Valamar Riviera acquired a 54.7% stake in Imperial d.d. on the Island of Rab. 1 With this acquisition, the Group operates 30 hotels and resorts and 15 camping resorts in five attractive destinations along the Adriatic coast – from Istria and the islands of Krk and Rab to Dubrovnik. It manages approximately 12% of the total categorized accommodation in Croatia. Valamar's properties can welcome more than 56,000 guests daily in over 21,000 accommodation units. In terms of accommodation capacity, Valamar Riviera is the largest tourism group in Croatia. Valamar Riviera promotes the interests of all its stakeholders: guests, suppliers and partners, local communities and destinations, around 21,000 shareholders, over 4,400 people employed during peak season and the whole community. The stakeholders' interests are actively promoted through Valamar Riviera's principles of sustainable growth, development and corporate social responsibility. The company aims at growing and developing further through portfolio investments, new acquisitions and partnerships, developing its destinations and human resources and increasing operational efficiency.

On 23 March 2016 Valamar Riviera concluded a Loan agreement with the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development in the amount of EUR 24,291,114 (in HRK equivalent) maturing in 2033.

On 31 March 2016, pursuant to the decision of the Commercial Court in Pazin, the company Hoteli Baška d.d. was merged with Valamar Riviera d.d. Valamar Riviera became the universal successor to Hoteli Baška. Since Valamar Riviera was the sole shareholder of Hoteli Baška, Valamar Riviera's General Assembly did not meet pursuant to Article 531(1) of the Companies Act. Please note that on 13 January 2016, the subsidiaries Baškaturist d.o.o., Mirta Bašćanska d.o.o., and Vala Bašćanska d.o.o., where Valamar Riviera held 100% stake, were merged with the subsidiary Hoteli Baška d.d.; following the mergers, Valamar Riviera d.d. became Hoteli Baška d.d.'s sole shareholder. The consolidation of the portfolio of hospitality properties, management and shareholding structure into a single strategic company has allowed for a more transparent corporate governance and streamlined operations, as well as giving additional boost to the Company's balance sheet assets. This merger created additional value from the synergy of the two companies for both the Hoteli Baška employees and the local community. In destination Baška Valamar Riviera sees a clear potential for applying the experience gained in its other destinations. Continual investments in employees, products, services and experiences have created new shareholder value. In the forthcoming period, the key activities will be focused on planning and elaborating future investments in destination Baška, and developing the whole destination Krk where Valamar Riviera has taken over the leading position.

On 27 April 2016, Valamar Riviera's General Assembly was held, during which the following was determined:

2016 was marked by strong results, high operating efficiency and increased profitability. A number of factors contributed to this: i) continual investments in raising the competitive edge and the quality of services and products, ii) focus on the guest and operational excellence in sales, marketing and revenue management, iii) the strategic acquisition of the Baška hotel group and iv) continual efforts in developing destinations, products and added-value services.

In responding to the increased demand for hospitality products and services, Valamar Riviera was guided by adopted strategic initiatives and the best practices of business excellence. In 2016 the Group reported a 15.0% increase in operating revenues totaling HRK 1,488.6 million by optimizing distribution, sales channels and marketing segments, the average daily rate increased by 4.6% to HRK 516, while the total number of units sold was 2,227,815 (or 162,394 over prior year results).

Despite the increased business volume and the year-round consolidation of the Baška hotel group, operating costs were actively managed and remained under control, thus reporting a 13.3% growth. Excluding costs generated by destination Baška during the first six months of 2016, operating costs reported an 11% growth.

  • 18 Revenue per accommodation unit is recorded on the basis of cumulative board revenues (accommodation and board's food and beverage revenues).

Marketing and sales activities and the upgraded products and services reported excellent market feedback.

Adjusted EBITDA19 grew by 18.4% totaling HRK 519.0 million. The increase in operational efficiency as seen through the adjusted EBITDA margin growth from 33.9% in 2015 to 34.9% in 2016 also includes the negative effect of the consolidation costs of the Baška destination during the first six months of this year. Without this negative effect, the comparable adjusted EBITDA margin would be 36.1% thus representing an actual increase in operational efficiency by 220 basis points. Operating profit grew by 104.6% and totaled HRK 271.9 million. In 2016 the Group's net profit grew by HRK 236.9 million and totaled HRK 342.3 million. This is mainly due to i) increased operating profit, ii) positive extraordinary financial result, and iii) onetime recognized deferred tax assets which will burden the gross profit in the forthcoming years of utilization20. Following these trends, the EBT margin grew by 800 basis points and was 18.3%.

In 2016 total operating expenses grew by 10.7% due to increased business volume and this year consolidation of the Baška hotel group from 1 January 2016. Excluding costs generated by destination Baška during the first six months of 2016 for comparability's sake, operating expenses reported a low 6.7% growth. This confirmed continual positive trends in operating efficiency, management consolidation and restructuring at all levels, as well as Valamar Riviera's strategic goals.

Material costs grew by 13.1% and totaled HRK 450.4 million, representing 36.3% of total operating expenses (35.5% in 2015), which was largely due to increased business volume which caused higher costs of raw material and maintenance. Staff costs totaled HRK 371.3 million, representing 29.9% of total operating expenses (29.2% in 2015). The 13.2% increase in staff costs was due to several factors: i) longer full occupancy days, ii) takeover of the Baška hotel group staff, and iii) salary increase (a 2% salary increase in June 2016, a 1.5% salary increase and 0.5% salary increment for years of service in June 2015). Amortization and depreciation totaled HRK 265.2 million (HRK 232.9 million in 2015), and represented 21.4% of total operating expenses (20.8% in 2015). Their 13.9% growth was due to a wider consolidation scope and the previously realized large investments. Other operating expenses were HRK 24.0 million, and their 65.9% growth resulted from the operating expenses of previous years and the undepreciated assets due to investments. Value adjustments and provisions were HRK 2.5 million and decreased by HRK 21.5 million mainly due to the 2015 claim write-off in relation to Glavice d.o.o and lower provisions per legal disputes. Other costs grew by 3.0% or HRK 3.7 million primarily due to this year's Baška operations.

In 2016 financial income grew by HRK 51.4 million over prior comparable period results and totaled HRK 90.9 million. Other financial income reported the strongest growth, and rose by HRK 36.5 million, which was mostly due to the Group share portfolio sales totaling HRK 35.2 million. Interest income, foreign exchange differences, dividend and similar third-party related income grew by HRK 11.4 million. Exchange rate gains from settled unrealized balance sheet items and loan payments reported the strongest growth of HRK 23.6 million because of a 1% stronger HRK in relation to the EUR in 2016. This contributed to the decrease in balance sheet liabilities denominated in EUR and disclosed in HRK. Revenues form time deposits, a vista accounts and placements totaled HRK 4.2 million. The lower value is mostly due to a smaller amount of free cash funds during 2016 compared to the same period last year as well as a significant reduction in market interest. Unrealized income (gains) from financial assets grew by HRK 3.6 million, largely due to the valuation of derivative financial instruments contracted for 2017 as FX and interest hedge .

Financial expenses decreased by HRK 12.6 million compared to the same period a year ago and totaled HRK 65.7 million, representing 6.5% of total expenses (5.0% in 2015). Interest, foreign exchange differences, and similar expenses from third parties decreased by HRK 18.8 million. Other financial expenses grew by HRK 2.7 million, out of which HRK 0.9 million refers to the Group share portfolio sales, and HRK 1.7 million refers to interest rate swap early termination payment. The most significant change compared to the same period a year ago is related to exchange rate losses from settling unrealized balance sheet items, which fell by HRK 26.2 million due to the said stronger HRK in relation to EUR. A HRK 8.5 million increase in interest expenses in 2016 was related to the increase of debt resulting from loans contracted for financing investments and the consolidation of the Baška hotel group (from 1 January 2016).

As of 31 December 2016 the total value of the Group's assets was 25.2% higher compared to 31 December 2015. The total share capital and reserves grew by HRK 471.9 million, totaling HRK 2,373.6 million. This was mainly due to a HRK 236.9 million increase in generated net profit and the stated minority interest due to the consolidation of Imperial (HRK 235.7 million increase).

The total long-term liabilities were 16.8% higher and as of 31 December 2016 totaled HRK 1,556.1 million due to i) arranged loans for financing investments and ii) the consolidation of Imperial which brought an increase of HRK 210.3 million increase.

The total short-term liabilities were 71.6% higher compared to 31 December 2015 and totaled HRK 394.1 million. This resulted from i) current repayment of long-term debt (HRK 21.0 million increase), ii) trade payables (increased by HRK 103.1 million) due to large investments and iii) the consolidation of Imperial (HRK 27.6 total increase).

Cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December 2016 totaled HRK 274.7 million. This 14% decrease is mainly due to i) investments in Imperial's shares and ii) large investments.

Hotels and resorts reported HRK 919.7 million in board revenues. The Premium and Midscale segments were major drivers for the strong HRK 93.0 million increase. These results were largely due to a sales mix optimization, investments in the upgrade of products and services, and the successful realization of a number of business and entertainment events in Dubrovnik and Poreč. It should be noted that this growth was partly influenced by the results of destination Baška. Excluding them, the total board revenues for hotels and resorts reported a 10% growth.

The Premium segment reported the strongest growth in board revenues (HRK 39.9 million) and totaled HRK 224.7 million. This was mainly due to an increase in accommodation units sold (i.e. 28,404 more, or 201,003 total) and the 4.4% increase in the average daily rate. The Valamar Isabella Island Resort 4* & 5* was the main revenue driver. By focusing on direct sales channel, a longer operating period and M.I.C.E events it reported a strong growth of over HRK 17 million.

Business operations of Baška properties are included for the period January – December 2016, while in the comparable period of 2015 are included in the period July - Valamar Lacroma 4* in the February-mid April period and contributed to the prolongation of the operating period and high occupancy rates. The high-season growth of the Dubrovnik Premium segment was mainly due to the excellent positioning of the Valamar Dubrovnik President 5* in the individual channel. The adequate distribution of marketing segments ensured the significant growth of the Valamar Lacroma 4*, mainly through allotment and M.I.C.E. placements.

The Upscale segment reported a HRK 15.6 million board revenue growth. The increased average daily rate (+HRK 56) contributed to the HRK 222.5 million in board revenues. The Valamar Club Tamaris 4* owed its strong results to a successful firstminute allotment distribution and a stronger individual sales channel which was responsible for over two thirds of the total growth. The increase in the individual segment and occupancy contributed to a significant growth of Hotel & Casa Sanfior 4*. The management of the marketing segments and prices received a good market feedback and boosted the individual segment of the Valamar Zagreb 4*. Similarly, the Valamar Riviera 4* hotel owed its robust growth and high occupancy

A detailed comparison of the new portfolio segmentation is on page 18. 24 When calculating adjusted EBITDA, internal allocation of revenues and expenses as well as inter-segment revenues and expenses are excluded from the primarily to an increase in capacity (10 new accommodation units) which resulted in higher occupancy.

The Midscale segment of hotels and resorts reported a growth of HRK 32.9 million and contributed to a large extent to the total board revenue growth. The HRK 338.0 million board revenues were partially influenced by the business done in destination Baška during the first half-year of 2016. Excluding Baška, the Midscale board revenue growth exceeded HRK 15 million. The main revenue drivers were the Valamar Diamant 4* and the Valamar Club Dubrovnik 3*. The prolonged operating period, high occupancy rates, the new multifunctional hall which was an important feature for the M.I.C.E. channel as well as an improved realization of the group channel during the season resulted in a significant increase in the business volume and strong growth of the Valamar Diamant 4* board revenue. On the other hand, the Valamar Club Dubrovnik 3* grew in all its marketing segments due to an adequate placement of allotments and group. The Valamar Crystal 4* grew further mainly because of a strategic shift towards long-term charter partners which ensured additional occupancy through flights

to Istria during the shoulder season and a longer operating period. The competitive price policy in defined periods that was focused mainly on occupancy resulted in increased board revenues in the Valamar Rubin 3*. The Allegro and the Miramar 3* in destination Rabac reported strong growth mainly due to a significant increase of the individual channel and adequate group and allotment placement in the pre-season period.

The Economy segment of hotels and resorts reported HRK 134.5 million in board revenues, representing a 3.5% increase. The Pical 3* board revenue increase was the result of a stronger individual sales channel, and an active price management, both contributing to a higher average daily rate. The Tirena 3* results grew due to the performance of the individual sales channel and optimal allotment placement. An increased group volume and pre-season events led to the Lanterna's 2* increased board revenue. Fewer operating days reduced the Girandella Tourist Village 2* occupancy, although board revenues remained the same due to increased average daily rates.

Camping resorts reported HRK 255.0 million in total board revenue. The HRK 38.5 million increase was due to the strong positive market feedback that the newly invested properties received and to a lesser extent, to the results of the Baška camping resort operations in the first half of 2016. Excluding the Baška operations results, the total camping resort board revenues reported a solid 15% growth.

The Premium segment of camping resorts includes the Krk 5* campsite, which reported a strong 30.5% board revenue growth totaling HRK 24.5 million. This growth resulted from a HRK 73 increase in the average daily rate due to this years' investment in new mobile homes, improved quality and service as well as intensive promotional activities.

A 15.0% increase of the average daily rate in the Upscale segment of camping resorts resulted in a HRK 22.3 million increase in board revenues. The Lanterna 4* campsite contributed most to the reported board revenues total of HRK 131.2 million. The leading Istrian camping resort owed its 24% growth in board revenues to investments in new mobile homes, quality and service upgrades and promotional activities. The campsites Marina 4* and Ježevac 4*, owed their increased board revenues to a higher average rate. This years' Bunculuka 4* performance contributed to stronger Upscale results totaling HRK 3.6 million in additional board revenues.

The camping resort Midscale segment reported a HRK 69.7 million in board revenues. The Zablaće 3* campsite year-round consolidation is mainly the result of the 11.2% increase in board revenues. This is because early Easter holidays do not benefit camping operations and cause fewer operating days and lower board revenues.

The Economy segment reported HRK 29.7 million in board revenues. The HRK 3.5 million increase is mainly due to investments in the Brioni 2* campsite and the new Tunarica 2* campsite operations.

Destination Poreč reported HRK 574.1 million in board revenues. The average daily rate growth of HRK 35 and the 3.3% increase in the number of accommodation units sold resulted in a HRK 60.0 million increase in board revenues. The most significant contribution to the board revenue growth in this destination was attributed to the excellent performance of the Valamar Isabella Island Resort 4* & 5*, the Lanterna 4* campsite and the Valamar Diamant 4* hotel. A solid occupancy was mainly due to group and allotment placements in the shoulder season, and individual placements in the Christmas/ New Year period.

Destination Rabac owed its HRK 7.9 million increase in board revenue to an increase in accommodation units sold (+18,686). The reported HRK 151.5 million in board revenues was mostly attributed to the strong performance of the Hotel & Casa Valamar Sanfior 4*, the Allegro hotel 3* and the Miramar hotel 3*, as well as the Marina campsite 4*.

Destination Krk reported board revenues amounting to HRK 167.3 million (+24.8%), mainly due to the destination Baška 2016 yearlong consolidation. Excluding the performance of hotels, resorts and camping resorts in destination Baška, board revenues rose by 10.5%, while the rest of the growth is mainly due to the strong performance of the Krk 5* campsite.

Destination Dubrovnik reported a growth in the average daily rate (+HRK 26) and an 8.6% rise in accommodation units sold. This resulted in a robust HRK 30.2 million increase in board revenues, totaling HRK 281.8 million, mostly due to the excellent performance of two hotels: the Valamar Dubrovnik President 5* and the Valamar Lacroma 4* (which stayed open the whole year round ) and good group and allotment placements in the shoulder season.

Over the years Valamar Riviera has consolidated its portfolio in order to clearly differentiate, develop and reposition its tourism products. A precise definition of market segments, innovative development of service concepts, brand management, profitability increase and return-on- investment optimization demanded a revised segmentation of the portfolio of hospitality properties to provide for an improved portfolio management.

The acquisition of Imperial d.d. added 5 new hotels and resorts and 2 camping resorts to Valamar Riviera's portfolio. The additional 2,855 accommodation units with daily capacities for 7,513 guests will contribute to the growth of the Group's business volume and profitability in 2017. The resulting Group's total accommodation capacity in 2017 will include 20,948 keys. The Group's properties will be able to welcome 56,774 guests daily.

25 Business operations of Imperial's properties are not included in 2015 and 2016. Business operations of Baška's properties are included in 2016, while in the comparable period of 2015 are included in the period July - December 2015.

Results of the Company

It should be noted that the data provided in the current year's financial statements are not fully comparable to prior comparable period data because of the said mergers. The items in the prior comparable period until the time of the merger, that is i) until 27 February 2015 do not include the data for the merged company Valamar hoteli i ljetovališta d.o.o., ii) until 31 March 2016 do not include the data for the merged company Hoteli Baška d.d., and iii) until 30 June 2016 do not include data for the merged company Bastion upravljanje d.o.o. All significant changes in the Company's financial statements should be viewed in the context of the said transactions in the previous period.

During 2016, total revenues increased by HRK 289.8 million, totaling HRK 1,559.1 million. Sales revenues totaled HRK 1,440.4 million, representing 93% of total revenues (92% in 2015), They were HRK 257.2 million higher compared to the same period last year. Sales revenues between parties within the group were HRK 0.6 million (HRK 4.4 million in 2015) while sales revenues outside the group were HRK 1,439.8 (HRK 1,178.8 million in 2015).

Domestic sales revenues grew by 22% compared to the same period last year, totaling HRK 117.4 million and representing 8% of total revenues (8% in 2015). International sales revenue grew by 22% compared to the same period last year, totaling HRK 1,323.0 million, representing 85% of total revenues (86% in 2015). Other operating and financial income comprised 8% of the total revenues (7% in 2015). Other operating revenues grew by 40%, totaling HRK 30.5 million and represent 2% of the total revenues (2% in 2015).

Material costs grew by HRK 64.6 million, totaling HRK 474.1 million and represented 38% of operating expenses (38% in 2015). Staff costs amounted to HRK 365.3 million, representing 30% of operating expenses (29% in 2015). Compared to the same period last year, they grew by HRK 57.7 million. This growth was attributed to increased business volume, the merged companies' staff takeover, and to a lesser extent, employees' salary increase. Amortization and depreciation represented 20% of operating expenses (19% in 2015) and totaled HRK 243.2 million (HRK 206.8 million in 2015). The 18% growth is the result of earlier large investments.

Compared to the same period last year, financial income grew by HRK 23.8 million and totaled HRK 88.1 million. Other financial income reported the strongest growth, with a HRK 36.4 million increase mainly due to the Company's share portfolio sales totaling HRK 34.8 million. Interest income, foreign exchange differences, dividends and similar third-party related income grew by HRK 10.0 million. As a result of a 1% stronger HRK in relation to the EUR during 2016, exchange rate gains in settled unrealized balance sheet items and loan payments reported HRK 23.5 million. This contributed to the decrease in balance sheet items denominated in EUR and disclosed in HRK. Revenues form time deposits, a vista accounts and placements totaled HRK 4.1 million. A smaller amount of free cash funds during 2016 compared to the same period last year as well as a significant reduction in market interest rates resulted in a decrease in these revenue levels. In 2016, dividend revenues from the related company Valamar hoteli i ljetovališta d.o.o. (merged to Valamar Riviera d.d. on 27 February 2015) totaling HRK 24.0 million were not paid out. Unrealised revenues (gains) from financial assets grew by HRK 4.1 million, resulting from the valuation of euro/kuna forward transactions contracted for 2016 as FX hedge.

Financial expenses decreased by HRK 10.2 million compared to the same period a year ago and totaled HRK 60.8 million, representing 5% of total expenses (6% in 2015). Expenses resulting from interest and foreign exchange differences decreased by HRK 14.5 million. Other financial expenses grew by HRK 1.7 million. The most significant change compared to

the same period a year ago is related to exchange rate losses from settling unrealized balance sheet items, which fell by HRK 25.3 million due to the said stronger HRK in relation to the EUR in 2016. A HRK 10.5 million increase in interest expenses is related to the increase of debt resulting from loans contracted for financing the investments and the merger of Hoteli Baška d.d. and its debt carryover.

The Company's strategical focus on key expansion drivers and long-term goals and the increased business volume and more efficient business activities resulted in a 109% increase in profit before tax compared to last year, totaling HRK 265.1 million. Operating profit increased by 78% totaling HRK 237.7 million. The Company gross margin increased by 700 basis points and amounted to 18% (11% in 2015). Net income increased by HRK 230.8 million and totaled HRK 336.7 million. This is mainly due to i) increased operating profit, ii) positive extraordinary financial result, and iii) one-time recognized deferred tax assets which will burden the gross profit in the forthcoming years of utilization26.

The total Company assets as of 31 December 2016 amounted to HRK 4,148.0 million and increased by 17% in relation to the prior comparable period.

26 Net tax revenue totaled HRK 71.6 million and largely resulted from the recognized deferred tax assets due to tax incentives (prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion and Investment Improvement).

2016 Investments

In 2016 over HRK 428 million investments were focused on upgrading Valamar Riviera's long–term asset portfolio. It should be noted that HRK 159.8 million refers to pipeline projects. In 2016 over HRK 260 million were invested in the upgrade of the portfolio hotels, apartments, and campsites. Over 50% of the total 2016 investments was earmarked for developing accommodation, services and amenities in campsites operating under the Camping Adriatic by Valamar brand.

After completing the HRK 34 million investment in the Krk campsite, it became the first five-star camping resort in Croatia. This unique, eco-friendly, family camping resort is one of the three Croatian member campsites of the prestigious association "Leading Campings of Europe". It includes a number of attractive features such as heated swimming pool, wellness oasis, and promenade with entertainment amenities, children's swimming pool, children's water playground and fully refurbished sanitary units. The numerous amenities include Maro Mini and Midi clubs for younger children, as well as Teens Club and Hobby Club for older children. The "Bella Vista Premium Village", a complex of 63 designer mobile homes with sea view, increased the accommodation capacity. Special attention was devoted to energy efficiency and sustainable development: the campsite has a unique system for wastewater purification and landscape irrigation by utilizing purified wastewater. Over 300 trees were planted and the beach boasts a Blue Flag.

HRK 87 million were invested in upscaling the Lanterna campsite (from 3* to 4*). The Lanterna is the leading Istrian campsite and a member of the association "Leading Campings of Europe". New accommodation units were introduced as part of the Istrian Village project. Besides, innovative accommodation for Glamping (i.e. luxury camping) fans were also added, as well as two brand-new theme accommodation zones with a total number of 119 new mobile

homes. Numerous plots were renovated, the landscape was redesigned and the reception area refurbished. There are also various new facilities such as the Adria sand beach featuring the new "Beach Bar" , the new "Cafe Belvedere" and many more. The campsite's guests can enjoy the new water park featuring four swimming pools, numerous slides and other children attractions on a total water surface area of 1,350 m 2 . The main swimming pool near the beach and two sanitary units were refurbished.

Investments into quality improvement were also carried out in other campsites on the island of Krk, in Istria and Dubrovnik – the investment focus was improving accommodation, beach amenities and outlets. The camping segment shows considerable potential for developing innovative camping resorts, i.e. resorts offering higher value-added accommodation and services targeting high-end guests. However, the development of such projects is hindered due to unresolved legal issues regarding tourism land. Thus, Valamar Riviera's investment scope is still restricted to partial investments in campsite facilities and amenities. Were these issues resolved, a repositioning potential would open up not only in Valamar Riviera's portfolio, but also elsewhere in Croatia, thus improving the campsites' position in relation to the top European competitors.

2015 successful Valamar Isabella Island Resort project continued with HRK 12 million invested in turning part of the products and services into premium segments (53 accomodation units in total: the Miramare annex, the Castle and 7 villas).

In 2016 Valamar Riviera refurbished a number of restaurants: the Delfin, the Orsera and the former "Slavija" restaurant which was turned into three new facilities – the "La Pentola II" restaurant, the "Craft" alehouse, and "The Beat" beach club. There was a number of successful projects aiming at creating new and improving present amenities, thus enhancing the quality and experience of a destination. Among the numerous projects carried out is the Valamar Diamant 4* hotel sports hall which was turned into a multifunctional facility for sports and other kinds of events. Further investments in improving beaches and staff accommodation were also carried out, along with IT and business digitalization projects, improvements in technological processes and energy savings in laundry operations, as well as other projects related to energy efficiency.

2017 Investments

Valamar Riviera's Supervisory Board approved a total of HRK 873 million for investments planned in 201727. This is the largest series of investments focused on the Company's hospitality portfolio so far. HRK 465 million were earmarked for improving products and services in destination Rabac (Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* and Valamar Girandella Resort 4*/5*). Besides investing in hotels and resorts, a series of investments totaling HRK 188 million will be focused on campsites. The most significant are investments in the Lanterna camping resort and the Zablaće and Ježevac campsites. Investment maintenance totals HRK 71 million, while other individual investments total HRK 149 million.

Two luxury resorts, a brand new Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* (the first TUI Family Life hotel in Croatia) and a fully renovated Valamar Girandella Resort 4*/5* will welcome Rabac's guests at the start of season 2017. This large investment project in Rabac includes the total reconstruction of the two resorts totaling 764 accommodation units, the construction of 17 restaurants and bars, and 13 pools with total water surface of more than 2,000m2 . The new features include Maro club and various children playgrounds, two entertainment centers, spa, indoor and outdoor fitness facilities, bike center and other sports amenities. More than 600 staff members will attend to 2,700 guests daily. The investments include various improvements of beaches and promenades as well as a total landscape redesign of the whole area. Croatian contractors and suppliers have been hired to carry out most of the construction work and 50% of them are local, Istrian entrepreneurs. These investments will reposition destination Rabac as a leading upscale vacation destination. The resorts will be opened in early June 2017, and the work is proceeding as planned. The strategic partnerships with the leading European tour operators – TUI and DER Touristik Köln will ensure occupancy (for details, see "Significant Business Events" on page 7). With this, more than 100,000 guests are Construction site in Rabac on 7 February 2017, (Valamar Girandella Resort 4* and Family Life Bellevue Resort 4*), Rabac

Family Life Bellevue Resort 4* (preliminary visualization), Rabac expected to visit Rabac in the next three years, thus improving the promotion of Istrian tourism. Moreover, the number of guests from air travel markets will increase, thus creating opportunities for season prolongation.

Besides key investments in Rabac, Valamar Riviera continues investing in the concept of premium camping. Investments totaling HRK 98 million are focused on upgrades in the leading European campsite, the Lanterna 4* camping resort. The reception area together with the shops and hospitality outlets will be renovated, while the campsite will feature new high quality mobile homes and new amenities for children. Valamar Riviera will invest HRK 68 million in upgrading accommodation and services on the island of Krk and in new high quality mobile homes for the Ježevac 4* and Zablaće 3*/4* campsites. In order to improve the quality of other campsites on the island of Krk, in Istria, and in Dubrovnik a range of investments will be focused on improving accommodation, beach amenities, and hospitality outlets.

Moreover, a range of other projects to create new and improve existing features is in the pipeline. They will considerably improve the quality and experience in all destinations. They will focus on beaches, IT and business digitalization, technological processes and energy efficiency.

As stated in our strategic goals, by continuously raising the quality of portfolio facilities, services, and contents, we are creating the basis for generating added value both for our guests and for all Valamar Riviera's stakeholders. However, the still unresolved issue of tourism land, VAT and the rate of total contributions to salaries, which are both one of the highest on the Mediterranean, hinder further investment potential. Unfortunately, tourism is still not sufficiently recognized as an opportunity for the Croatian economy. Apart from the current HBOR loans (Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development), tax incentives prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion and Improvement, and the decrease in the income tax rate (from 20% to 18%, January 2017) there are no other measures that could significantly increase the growth pace and contribute to level Croatia's position with other destinations on the Mediterranean.

The Risks of the Company and the Group

Tourism is a global industry, closely connected with the real and financial economy, geopolitical position and environmental sustainability. The integrity of this industry will determine its future growth. The Company and Group monitor and assess risks at micro and macro levels. Moreover, when defining the strategy, particular attention is given to the short and medium–term risk impact in order to maintain business sustainability over time.

When monitoring and assessing risks the Company and Group use a proactive approach thus assessing the potential impact of each individual risk. The Company and Group consider risk management to be a key factor of differentiation among competitors. Risk management aims at creating sustainable value, thus offering reliability and security to numerous stakeholders.

There are five key steps in a risk management process:

  • 1) Identifying potential risks;
  • 2) Assessing identified risks;
  • 3) Determining actions and responsibilities for efficient risk management;
  • 4) Monitoring and overseeing preventive actions;
  • 5) Exchanging information on risk management results conducted by the Management board.

The different types of risks facing Valamar Riviera can be classified into the following groups:

  • Financial risks
  • related to financial variables, can have a negative

impact on meeting liabilities for the company and the Group, liquidity, debt management etc.;

  • Business risks
  • related to the way company business is conducted in terms of supply and demand, competition, adapting to market trends, investments, growth etc.;
  • Operational risks
  • can arise form errors in business operations, human error, IT system etc.;
  • Global risks
  • can arise from natural disasters, pandemics, food shortage, social unrest, wars and other force majeure events beyond Valamar Riviera's control;
  • Compliance risks
  • can arise from failure to comply with state laws and local regulations; risks related to changes in tax and other regulations.

Financial risks

In their day-to-day business activities, the Company and Group face a number of financial threats, especially:

  • 1) Foreign exchange risk;
  • 2) Interest rate risk;
  • 3) Price risk;
  • 4) Credit risk;
  • 5) Liquidity risk;
  • 6) Share-related risks.

The Company and Group have a proactive approach in mitigating interest rate and foreign exchange risks, by employing available market instruments. Internal risk management goals and policies aim at protecting foreign currency inflows during seasonal activity and partial interest hedging of the principal loan amount.

1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company and Group conduct their business operations across national borders and are exposed to foreign exchange risks. They mainly result from changes in the euro/ kuna exchange rate. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. Most of our sales revenue generated abroad and long-term debt is denominated in euros. Hence, for the most part the Company and Group are naturally hedged from exchange rate risks. Since some liabilities are denominated in kunas, the Company and Group actively manage risks by using derivative instruments available on the financial market. The instruments are used according to operating assessments and expected market trends. In this way the assets, liabilities and cash flow are protected from the risk impact.

2) Interest rate risk

Variable rate loans expose the Company and Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Periodically, the Company and Group resort to derivative instruments in order to hedge cash flow and interest rate by applying interest rate swaps. The economic effect of such swaps is the conversion of variable interest rate loans into fixed interest rate loans for a precommitted hedged part of the loan principal. The Company and Group have interest-bearing assets (cash assets and deposits) so their revenue and cash flow depend on changes in market interest rates. This becomes evident especially during the season when the Company and Group have significant cash surpluses at their disposal.

3) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash assets, time deposits and receivables. According to the Company and Group sales policy, business transactions are conducted only with customers with suitable credit history, i.e. by agreeing advances, bank securities and (for individual customers) payments made through major credit card companies. The Company and Group continuously strive to monitor their exposure towards other parties and their credit rating as well as obtain security instruments (bills of exchange, promissory notes) in order to reduce bad debt risks related to services provided.

4) Price risk

The Company and Group hold equity and debt securities and are exposed to equity price risk due to security price volatility. Valamar Riviera is not an active participant in the market trade in terms of investing in equity and debt securities. However, with the HRK 285 million invested in buying shares of Imperial d.d., the company is exposed to the said risk to a certain extent.

5) Liquidity risk

The Company and Group have a sound liquidity risk management. Sufficient funds for meeting liabilities are available at any given moment through adequate amounts from contracted credit lines and by ensuring credit line availability in the future. Liquidity risk is managed by generating strong positive net operating cash flows, while capital investments are financed by credit lines. All the credit lines in 2017 have already been arranged with financial institutions. The repayment of the major credit lines coincides with periods of strong cash inflows from operations. The Company and Group monitor the level of available funds through daily cash and debt reports. Long-term cash flow forecasts as well as annual (monthly) forecasts are based on the set budget. After meeting the needs of working capital management the surplus is deposited in the treasury. From there the funds are invested in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposit accounts and marketable securities. Only instruments with suitable maturities and sufficient liquidity are selected, according to the forecast needs for liquid funds.

6) Share-related risks

The market value of shares is the riskiest asset class due to its volatility resulting from the volatile nature of the whole capital market, macroeconomic trends on markets where the Company and Group operate and discrepancies between the expectations of financial analysts and the actual results. Furthermore, other contributing factors are also changes in the dividend policy, various activities in the segment of consolidations, mergers, acquisitions and forming of strategic

partnership, the instability of the business model of the Company and Group as well as the fluctuations in the financial results for the Company and Group. In case any negative implications happen to be associated with these factors there is a considerable risk of market value drop that will in turn prevent investors from selling their shares at a fair market price.

Business risk

The Company and Group are constantly exposed to risks threatening its competitiveness and future stability. Since the Company and Group own real estate, this business model requires a large amount of capital in order to maintain high product and service standards. Various large capital investments in the upgrade of products and services can surpass budget expectations, delay the end of construction works, as well as the town-planning regulations and fiscal policy may be changed. These risks can increase costs for the Company and Group, and have a negative impact on the cash flow and revenues. In the previous period, the company and Group's business decisions improved their results and operating efficiency in the demanding Mediterranean market. These positive trends are expected to continue in the future through a prudent long-term strategic management.

Over 95% of Valamar Riviera's guests come from other countries and they are very careful when choosing their vacation destination in the competitive Mediterranean environment. Stable country macroeconomic indicators are important decision-making factors especially those relating to exchange rates and the price of goods and services because they directly affect the guests' purchasing power. However small, the share of domestic guests is also important; it is a segment directly influenced by various other macroeconomic indicators: employment/ unemployment rate, GNP rise/

fall, industrial production and others. They all have a direct impact not only on the purchasing power of Croatian residents but they also determine whether they will choose to spend their vacation on the Adriatic.

When considering risks related to the tourism and hospitality industry, in previous years, the Croatian economy has been afflicted by the consequences of a global financial crisis and economic standstill. In this period, the tourism and hospitality industry has been among the rare growing industries in Croatia. Moreover, the marked seasonality of this industry leads to insufficient use of the Company and Group's resources. After joining the European Union, the Croatian market became part of a large European market, while safety risks decreased after joining the NATO. The Croatian Tourism Development strategy until 2020 (a government document published in the Official Gazette no. 55/13) defines the kind of tourism Croatia wants and needs to develop using the country's comparative advantages and expertise in order to improve the competitiveness of Croatian tourism. Maintaining the current tourism growth rates in the following years is of vital importance. It can be achieved by strategically developing tourism products and investing in the creation of additional values, which will help distinguish Croatian tourism from its competitors by emphasizing its uniqueness, appeal and quality.

Good management of human resources is vital for the future growth of the Company and Group. Risks related to shortages of specific skills, expertise and jobs are connected with the opening and expansion of the labor market. Valamar Riviera is one of the largest and most desirable employers in tourism. The active approach towards HR management develops key talents and supports investments in training opportunities (over HRK 3 million invested in training and professional development in 2016). We determine the needs for new skills and expertise

by following emerging global trends in tourism. In this way, we are able to respond to challenges effectively. Through a continual dialogue with our social partners, we have ensured a high level of workers' rights in terms of competitive salaries, reward systems, career development, employees' wellbeing and cooperation with training institutions from all parts of Croatia.

Operational risks

Operational risks are risks connected with direct or indirect losses that arise form inadequate or wrong internal or external processes within the Company and the Group. They include the creation, analysis and insufficient or inadequate internal and external information exchange. When implementing the system of operational risk management, the Company and Group focused on its continuity and complexity due to the size of the organization. The benefits of the system include i) defining and identifying the Company and Group risk profile in relation to the operating risk ii) identifying and managing the known risk occurrences in order to decrease the Company and Group costs and iii) data analysis which indicates the business trends for the Company and Group and trends in the domestic economy.

The Company and Group are aware of the reliability of IT business solutions and safety in the cyber world. Hence, they continually upgrade, develop and implement new technologies in everyday business operations. A special focus is given to providing sufficient resources for the development and implementation of new technologies related to ICT, energy efficiency, data protection, and upgrade of the current business systems and implementation of new ones.

Global risks

Despite improved security and political conditions, which have encouraged to a certain extent investments into tourism and hospitality, there are challenges that the Croatian tourism has to face, such as:

  • Periods of global financial crisis which reduce the purchasing power of the travelling-prone population;
  • Security issues related to globally escalating terrorism threats;
  • Security and political instability in the immediate environment of the neighboring countries.

Environmental risks can also have an adverse effect on the Company and Group's business results, primarily in terms of customer satisfaction with the whole experience while staying at one of Valamar's properties and this can affect the number of arrivals. The possible risks can include: sea pollution (caused by oil or chemical spillage), but also long-term water quality reduction and coast pollution due to inadequate waste disposal and waste water treatment as well as extensive use of agricultural fertilizers. Other environmental conditions typical for climate changes such as long drought periods or long rainy periods can directly influence the guests' length of stay in the hotels and campsites as well as increasing the operating costs. A number of other natural disasters Valamar Dubrovnik President 5*, Dubrovnik Valamar Rubin Hotel 3*, Poreč

and calamities (earthquakes, fires, floods and rainstorms), air pollution caused by toxic gas emissions from industrial plants and vehicles, as well excessive urbanization and the introduction of invasive species should also be taken into consideration.

Compliance risks

Changes in tax laws and other regulations pose a very serious threat and represent a demanding segment in risk management because in this particular situation the possibilities for the Company and Group are limited. In previous years, there has been a number of important changes in tax and non-tax charging regulations, which have adversely affected the Company and Group profitability:

  • In March 2012 the standard VAT rate grew from 23% to 25%, in January 2013 a new 10% VAT rate was introduced only to be replaced within a year by a 13% VAT rate applicable to the tourism and hospitality industry (January 2014), while in January 2017 a new 25% VAT rate was introduced for F&B (a la carte) services;
  • In May 2012 the health insurance employer contribution rate fell from 15% to 13% and then in April 2014 it grew back to 15%;

• Frequent increases in various fees and charges regarding water distribution and the like.

Such frequent changes in laws regulating taxes and parafiscal charges often take place only after the business policy and budget for the next financial year have been approved and commercial terms and conditions with partners agreed. All this jeopardizes the Company and Group financial position and future investment plans as well as credibility towards shareholders. The Company and Group are also threatened by changes in regulations governing concession fees for maritime domain and tourism land use, the latter still presenting unresolved legal issues. Given the nature of the Company and Group's business, the right to use parts of the maritime domain as well as land for tourism purposes is of vital importance for future growth, especially for campsite-related operations. Apart from the current HBOR loans (Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development), tax incentives prescribed by the Act on Investment Promotion and Improvement, and the decrease in the income tax rate (from 20% to 18%, January 2017) there are no other measures that could significantly increase the growth pace and contribute to level Croatia's position with other competitors on the Mediterranean.

Corporate Governance

The company Valamar Riviera d.d. and the Group continuously strive to develop and operate according to good practices of corporate governance. The business strategy, corporate policy, key corporate regulations and business practice are all geared towards creating a transparent and efficient business operation while forging solid bonds with the local community. In order to foster further growth and set high corporate governance standards, the Company adopted its own Corporate Governance Code in 2008 and the Management Board fully complies with its provisions. After the company was listed on the Official market of the Zagreb Stock Exchange, the Company has also complied with the Zagreb Stock Exchange Governance Code. The Company respects and implements the prescribed corporate governance measures (as reported in detail in the prescribed annual questionnaire and published as prescribed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange and Valamar Riviera websites).

The major direct shareholders according to the Central Depository and Clearing Company data are listed in the table in the "Valamar Riviera Share" section.

The Company defined the process of preparing and disclosing financial reports in a detailed internal document.

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d., Poreč

OPINION

We have audited the separate financial statements of Valamar Riviera d.d. ("the Company") and consolidated financial statements of Valamar Riviera d.d. and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2016 and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Croatia. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

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

Valuation of tourism properties

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of the Group as at 31 December 2016 was HRK 3,930,900 thousand (Company: HRK 2,895,925 thousand). Refer to Notes 2.6 and 2.8 of Accounting policies, Note 4(a) and (c) of Critical accounting estimates, and Note 14 on Property, plant and equipment of the financial statements.

Key audit matter

As at 31 December 2016, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment represented approximately 88% and 70% of the total assets of the Group and the Company, respectively. These assets, measured at cost, consist primarily of tourism properties and related assets, and are subject to annual review to assess whether or not they may be impaired.

In the process, the Group first identifies its tourism properties where there is an indication of impairment. These properties are then subjected to a detailed impairment review through analysis of their value-in-use (based on an internal discounted cash flow model) or the estimate of their fair value less costs to sell.

Our response

Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • evaluating the appropriateness of allocation of assets to cash generating units (GCUs);
  • evaluating the appropriateness of the Group's judgments regarding identification of tourist properties or related CGUs which may require further impairment testing. This included, but was not limited to comparing of actual asset (or CGU) performance to previous forecasts apnd assessing future forecasts against internal plans and external market information;

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d., Poreč (continued)

Valuation of tourism properties (continued)

Key audit matter (continued)

The Group's assessment relies on significant judgments and assumptions about tourism cash inflows in the future, including: discount rates, growth rates, occupancy rates, asset useful lives, terminal values and revenue per available room.

Due to the above factors, accounting for tourism properties is determined to be a key audit matter.

Our response (continued)

  • challenging the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts of the assets or CGUs that required further impairment testing, by comparing of occupancy rates, revenue per available room, market growth with externally derived data, including external tourism industry reports and quoted prices for similar assets;
  • evaluating other key inputs of the Group's impairment model, such as estimated future costs, discount rates, asset useful life estimates and terminal multipliers, and considered the historical performance of the properties.

Acquisition of Imperial d.d. Rab

The Group acquired 54.71% ownership interest of Imperial d.d. Rab, for a total consideration of HRK 284,942 thousand and gained control of this subsidiary on 12 December 2016. Refer to Note 2.2(a) of Accounting policies, Note 4(f) of Critical accounting estimates, and Note 37 on Business combination Imperial d.d. of the financial statements.

Key audit matter

The total fair value (including non-controlling interest) of the acquired net assets of Imperial d.d. Rab was determined to be HRK 520,784 thousand as at 31 December 2016.

Accounting for this transaction requires management to exercise judgement in respect of, among other things:

  • assessment of the date on which control over Imperial d.d. Rab commenced;
  • identification and measurement of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in particular in respect of the tourism property portfolio.

We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition and the judgement involved in accounting for the transaction.

Our response

Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • inspecting the terms of the transaction to determine the date of control and the appropriate accounting based on the criteria of the relevant accounting standards;
  • assisted by our own valuation specialists:
  • understanding of the principles applied by the Group in determining the acquisition date fair values for the acquiree's assets and liabilities;
  • challenging the valuations produced by the Group and the methodology used to identify the assets and liabilities acquired, with particular focus on the methodologies adopted and key assumptions utilised in valuing the tourism property portfolio.
  • evaluating the Group's assertion that the financial effects of the new subsidiary's operations in the period from the date on which control commenced through the consolidation date were not material to the consolidated financial statements; and
  • considering the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in respect of the acquisition and the related judgments.

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d., Poreč (continued)

Accounting for tax incentives as deferred tax assets

As at 31 December 2016 the Group has recognised deferred tax assets of HRK 131,638 thousand (Company HRK 93,615 thousand) which includes HRK 83,668 thousand of investment tax credits. Refer to Note 2.20 of Accounting policies, Note 4(e) of Critical accounting estimates, Note 12 on Income taxes and Note 25 on Deferred tax asset/liability of the financial statements.

Key audit matter

During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Company became entitled to tax incentives amounting to HRK 124,708 thousand. The incentives were granted to the Company as it realised investment criteria with respect to reconstruction of certain properties as discussed in Note 12 on Income tax to the financial statements. HRK 41,040 thousand of the incentive was utilized during 31 December 2016, with deferred tax assets of HRK 83,668 thousand recognized as at 31 December 2016 in respect of the remaining unused benefit.

Further, the recognition of deferred tax assets relies on significant application of judgment by management in assessing the probability and sufficiency of future taxable profits, and the ability of the Company to ensure eligibility criteria under relevant investment promotion laws and regulations are met.

We have determined this area to be a key audit matter, due to size of the amount involved and the associated uncertainty surrounding recoverability.

Our response

Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • evaluating the appropriateness of treating the investment tax credit as a deferred tax asset;
  • using our own tax specialists, evaluating whether the Company met the eligibility criteria in respect of the investment criteria for the reconstructed properties;
  • reconciling the amounts of investment tax credit claimed by the Company to its internal documentation, such as construction cost documentations and documents submitted to the relevant authorities; and
  • considering the appropriateness of management's assumptions and estimates in relation to the likelihood of generating suitable future taxable profits to support the recognition of deferred tax assets. We specifically considered and critically assessed the reasonableness of the Company's forecasts of future taxable profits by reference to historical forecasting accuracy.

OTHER INFORMATION

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

With respect to the information included in the Annual Report, we have also performed the procedures required by the Article 20 of the Croatian Accounting Act. These procedures include considering whether the information included in the Annual Report includes the disclosures required by Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Croatian Accounting Act and obtaining evidence regarding specified information provided in the information included in the Annual Report.

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d., Poreč (continued)

Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements and the procedures above, in our opinion:

  • The information included in the Annual Report, containing the information as required by Article 21, 22 and 24 of the Croatian Accounting Act for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, is consistent, in all material respects, with the financial statements;
  • The information included in the Annual Report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable legal requirements of the Croatian Accounting Act.
  • In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Company and the environment in which they operate, obtained in the course of our audit, we are required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the information included in the Annual Report that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors' report. We have nothing to report in this respect.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with EU IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty

57

Independent Auditors' Report to the shareholders of Valamar Riviera d.d., Poreč (continued)

exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, +and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Tony Ilijanić.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost method, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available-for sale.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in the notes.

Financial statements represent unconsolidated and consolidated financial position and results of the Company and the Group, respectively.

2.1.1 Changes in the presentation of financial statements for 2015

Statement of comprehensive income

The Group has reclassified Share of profit of equity-accounted investees which was previously included in Other income to separate caption of Comprehensive income to improve its presentation. Effect of reclassification on comparative information in the statement of comprehensive income of the Group is presented below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights.

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

In the consolidated financial statements inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

(c) Joint ventures

The Group's interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Under this method, an interest in a jointly controlled entity is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the venturer's share of net assets of the jointly controlled entity. The profit or loss of the venturer includes the venturer's share of the profit or loss of the jointly controlled entity. In the Company's separate financial statements interest in joint venture is measured at cost less impairment.

2.2.1 Subsidiaries in separate financial statements

The Company discloses its subsidiaries at cost less impairment (note Investment in subsidiaries).

2.3 Merger of entities and transactions with companies under common control

Merger of entities from parties under common control are accounted for using book values (carryover basis accounting). Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the entities under common control are transferred at the predecessor entities carrying amounts. Related goodwill inherent in the predecessor entity's original acquisitions are also recorded in these financial statements. Any difference between the carrying amount of net assets, and the consideration paid is accounted for in these financial statements as an adjustment to equity.

2.4 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker is a person or group responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The chief operating decision-maker is the Group Management which is in charge of managing hotel and tourist properties and facilities.

2.5 Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Croatian kuna (HRK), which is the Company's functional and Group's presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances in foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income/(costs) – net'. All other foreign exchange losses and gains are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within 'other gains/ (losses) – net'.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is included in the statement of financial position at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, where required. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of replacement of larger items of property, plant and equipment is capitalised, and the carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognized.

Land, arts and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of other items of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

10-25 years
Plant and equipment
4-10 years
Furniture, tools and horticulture
3-10 years

Depreciation is calculated for each asset until the asset is fully depreciated or to its residual values if significant. The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The residual value of an asset is nil if the Group expects to use the asset until the end of its physical life. The operating assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

2.7 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(b) Software

Separately acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of up to 4 years.

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company determines impairment indicators of Property, plant and equipment as identified as separate cash generating units by using multiplicator of GOP and segment carrying net book values which is determined by comparing individual property segment (identified as separate cash generating units ("CGUs") carrying values with gross operating profit ("GOP").

If the determined ratios and multiples are not in line with expected amounts or targeted levels (at individual cash generating unit level), recoverable amount is based as the higher amount of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

Determination of impairment indicators, determination of the fair value of assets (or group of assets), and estimation of future cash flows which are based on projections of expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and remaining values require significant judgement by management.

Determination of fair value less costs of disposal is based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (ie similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. The Group is using internal and external valuations.

2.9 Non-current assets classified as held for sale

Non-current assets are classified in the statement of financial position as 'Non-current assets held for sale' if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying and fair value, less costs to sell. The assets should be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale should be very likely. Gains and losses on sale of non-current assets held for sale are included in the statement of comprehensive income within 'other gains/(losses) – net'.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.10 Investment property

Investment property, principally comprising business premises, is held for long-term rental yields or appreciation and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is treated as a long-term investment unless it is intended to be sold in the next year and a buyer has been identified in which case it is classified within current assets.

Investment property is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where required. Investments in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives (using depreciation rate of 4%).

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with it will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified to property, plant and equipment and its carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its deemed cost to be subsequently depreciated.

2.11 Financial assets

2.11.1 Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and reevaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss This category includes financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Assets in this category are classified as current assets except derivative financial instruments.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months from the reporting date. Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value.

(d) Repurchase agreements

The Company could enter into sales of investments under agreements to repurchase substantially identical investments at a certain date in the future at a fixed price. Investments sold under repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the statement of financial position and are measured in accordance with the accounting policy for the relevant financial asset at amortised cost or at fair value as appropriate. The proceeds from the sale of the investments are reported as liabilities to either banks or customers.

The difference in the effective interest rate between the sale and repurchase consideration is recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest expense..

2.11.2 Measurement and recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'other (losses)/gains- net' in the period in which they arise. Gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of interest rate swap are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other gains/losses. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of 'other income' when the Group's right to receive payment is established.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.11 Financial assets (continued)

2.11.2 Measurement and recognition (continued)

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity (other comprehensive income). When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as 'gains and losses from investment securities'.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions and references to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

2.11.3 Impairment of financial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the recoverable amount of receivables, and it represents Management's best estimate of the present value of receivables collection. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other operating expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against 'other operating expenses' in the statement of comprehensive income.

(b) Assets classified as available for sale

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive income – is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income and recognized within 'other (losses)/gains-net'.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.12 Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts in foreign currencies and interest rate swaps. Derivative financial instruments are recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value. The fair value is determined according to the market value, if appropriate. All derivatives are recorded in the statement of financial position as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. These derivatives do not classify as hedge accounting and are recognized as derivatives held for trading.

2.13 Leases

The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's commencement at the lower of fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. In accordance with Law on tourist land, the Group pays an annual concession fee for tourist land area which is reported as expense in the current period.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant interest rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other current and non-current liabilities depending on maturity.

The interest element of the finance costs is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership are not retained by the Group are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Assets under lease are disclosed in the Statement of financial position in the line "Property, plant and equipment". Assets are depreciated on the straight line basis as for similar assets. Revenue from lease is recognized according to period of the lease.

2.14 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Small inventory is written off in full at the moment of commencement of the use (porcelain, glass, metal, kitchen appliances, sports inventory, work clothing and other small items), except of the part of small inventory (linens, sheets and towels) for which the useful life is estimated up to 3 years. As explained further in Note 4(b), in 2016 Management reviewed the remaining value and useful life of a certain inventory (linens, sheets and towels) and estimated its useful life up to 3 years. Effect of this review and implementation of new calculation resulted in lower expense of cost of materials and services in 2016 of HRK 8,942 thousand.

2.15 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.

2.16 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.17 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Where the Group purchases its equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Group's equity holders until the shares are issued or purchased. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Group's equity holders.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

2.18 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

2.19 Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.20 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity. In that case tax is also recognised in equity.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Investment tax credits

Investment tax credits are incentives arising from government incentive schemes which enable the Group to reduce its income tax liability or liabilities arising from other specified taxes in future periods, and are linked to the construction or acquisition of certain assets and / or performance of certain activities and / or fulfilment of certain specific conditions prescribed in the relevant regulation for investment incentives by the relevant authorities. Tax investment credits are recognized as a deferred tax asset and an income tax benefit when criteria for recognition is fulfilled (Note 12) in the amount which the Group will be able to utilize until the incentive expires. Deferred tax assets recognized as a result of investment tax credits is utilized during the period of the incentive, ie until the expiration of the credits (if so specified) in accordance with and subject to the availability of tax obligations in future years against which the credits can be offset.

2.21 Employee benefits

(a) Pension obligations and post-employment benefits

In the normal course of business through salary deductions, the Group makes payments to mandatory pension funds on behalf of its employees as required by law. All contributions made to the mandatory pension funds are recorded as salary expense when incurred. The Group does not have any other pension scheme and consequently, has no other obligations in respect of employee pensions. In addition, the Group is not obliged to provide any other post-employment benefits.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.21 Employee benefits (continued)

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised when the Group terminates employment contracts of employees before their normal retirement date in accordance with pension and labour regulations. The Group recognises termination benefits when it has made an individual decision on the termination of an employment agreement due to business or personal reasons, whereby the liability to pay termination benefits are objectively determined, in accordance with regulations and by-laws.

(c) Short-term employee benefits

The Group recognises a provision for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. In addition, the Group recognises a liability for accumulated compensated absences based on unused vacation days at the reporting date and if liability can be reliably estimated.

2.22 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.23 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course of Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax and after eliminating sales within the Group.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below.

(a) Sales of services

Revenue from hotel and tourist services is recognised in the period the services are provided.

(b) Rental of services

Revenue for rental services is generally recognised in the period the services are provided, using a straight-line basis over the terms of contracts with lesser and presented in Statement of comprehensive income within 'Revenue'.

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

(d) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

2.24 Earnings per share

Earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of participating shares outstanding during the reporting year.

2.25 Value added tax

The Tax Authorities require the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases is recognised and disclosed in the statement of financial position on a net basis. Where provision has been made for impairment of receivables, impairment loss is recorded for the gross amount of the debtor, including VAT.

2.26 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been released and are effective but not mandatory for the year ended 31 December 2016 and/or are not yet adopted by the European Union and as such have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. It is not expected that these standards will have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

In their day-to-day business activities, the Company and the Group face a number of financial risks, especially market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company and the Group have a proactive approach in mitigating interest rate and foreign exchange risks, by using available market instruments. Internal risk management goals and policies aim at protecting foreign currency inflows during seasonal activity and partial interest hedging of the principal loan amount.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group conducts its business operations across national borders and is exposed to foreign exchange risks. They mainly result from changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

Most of the sales revenue generated from foreign customers and long-term debt is denominated in euros. Hence, for the most part the Group is naturally hedged from exchange rate risks. Since some liabilities are denominated in HRK, the Group actively manages risks by using derivative instruments available on the financial market. The instruments are used according to operating assessments and expected market trends. In this way the assets, liabilities and cash flow are protected from the risk impact.

At 31 December 2016, if the EUR had weakened/strengthened by 1% against the HRK, with all other variables held constant, the net profit for the year would have been HRK 11,429 thousand (2015: HRK 7,255 thousand) higher/(lower) mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/(losses) on translation of EUR denominated trade receivables, borrowings and foreign cash funds.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Variable rate loans expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Periodically, the Group uses derivative instruments in order to hedge cash flow and interest rate by applying interest rate swaps. The economic effect of such swaps is the conversion of variable interest rate loans into fixed interest rate loans for a pre-committed hedged part of the loan principal. The Group has interest-bearing assets (cash and deposits) so their revenue and cash flow depend on changes in market interest rates. This becomes evident especially during the season when the Group has significant cash surpluses at its disposal.

At 31 December 2016, if interest rates on currencydenominated borrowings had been higher/lower by 1%, with all other variables held constant, the profit for the year would have been HRK 4,419 thousand (2015: HRK 3,931 thousand) higher/(lower), mainly as a result of higher/(lower) interest expense on variable-rate borrowings.

At 31 December 2016, if interest rates on currency-denominated deposits had been 1% higher/(lower), with all other variables held constant, the profit for the year would have been HRK 1,227 thousand (2015: HRK 101 thousand) higher/(lower), mainly as a result of higher/(lower) interest income on variable rate deposits.

(iii) Price risk

The Group holds equity and debt securities and is exposed to equity price risk due to price volatility. Valamar Riviera d.d. is not an active participant in the market trade in terms of investing in equity and debt securities. However, with the HRK 285 million invested in acquiring shares of Imperial d.d., the Company is exposed to the said risk to a certain extent.

As at 31 December 2016, if the indices of the ZSE had been higher/(lower) by 2.08% for 2016 (which was the average index movement), with all other variables held constant, reserves within equity and other comprehensive income would have been HRK 79 thousand higher/(lower) as a result of gains/ (losses) on equity securities available for sale.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash, time deposits and receivables. According to the Group's sales policy, business transactions are conducted only with customers with suitable credit history, i.e. by agreeing advances, bank securities and (for individual customers) payments made through major credit card companies. The Group continuously monitors its exposure towards customers and its credit rating as well as obtains security instruments in order to reduce bad debt risks related to services provided.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Company and the Group have a sound liquidity risk management. Sufficient funds for meeting liabilities are available at any given moment through adequate amounts from contracted credit lines and by ensuring credit line availability in the future. Liquidity risk is managed by generating strong positive net operating cash flows, while capital investments are financed by credit lines. As at 31 December 2016, the Company and the Group have agreed loans with financial institutions for 2017 amounting to HRK 575,478 thousand. The repayment of the major credit lines coincides with periods of strong cash inflows from operations. The Company and the Group monitor the level of available funds through daily cash and debt reports. Long-term cash flow forecasts as well as annual (monthly) forecasts are based on the set budget

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

3.2 Capital management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the owner and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Quoted market prices for similar instruments are used for longterm debt. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources; unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
  • Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Group makes estimates and assumptions about uncertain events, including estimates and assumptions about the future. Such accounting assumptions and estimates are regularly evaluated, and are based on historical experience and other factors such as the expected flow of future events that can be rationally assumed in existing circumstances, but nevertheless necessarily represent sources of estimation uncertainty. These and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

(a) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company determines impairment indicators of Property, plant and equipment as identified as separate cash generating units by using multiplicator of gross operating profit ("GOP") and segment carrying net book values which is determined by comparing property segment carrying values with GOP.

If the determined ratios and multiples are not in line with expected amounts or targeted levels (at individual cash generating unit level) recoverable amount is determined as higher amount of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Furthermore, recoverable amount is determined for newly acquired properties (including those via business combinations). To determine recoverable amount, the Group uses both internal and external valuations.

Determination of impairment indicators, determination of the fair value of assets (or group of assets), and estimation of future cash flows which are based on expected cash flows models, future capital investments, applicable discount rates, useful lives and remaining values require significant judgement by management. Management also considers occupancy rates, revenue per available room, market growth with externally derived data including external hotel industry reports.

Determination of fair value less costs of disposal is based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (ie similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.

(b) Small inventory

In 2016, Management reviewed the remaining value and useful life of a part of inventory and estimated its useful life up to 3 years (linens, sheets and towels).

If the Group and Company adopted the revised policy retroactively, the effects of the review of useful life and implementation of new calculative write-off would be:

(in thousands of HRK) 2016 2015
Effect on inventories 1,941 7,051
Effect on cost of materials and services 5,110 1,242

Effect of this review and implementation of new calculation resulted in lower expense of cost of materials and services in 2016 of HRK 8,942 thousand.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)

(c) Estimated useful lives

By using a certain asset, the Group uses the economic benefits contained in this asset, which diminish more intensely with economic and technological aging. Consequently, in the process of determining the useful life of an asset, in addition to assessing the expected physical utilisation, it is necessary to consider the changes in demand on the tourist market, which will cause a faster economic obsolescence as well as a more intense development of new technologies. Current business operations in the hotel industry impose the need for more frequent investments, and this circumstance contributes to the fact that the useful life of an asset is decreasing.

Based on historical information, and in line with the technical department, the useful life of buildings components was assessed by Management to be 10 to 25 years. The useful lives of equipment and other assets have also been assessed.

The useful life of property, plant and equipment will be periodically revised to reflect any changes in circumstances since the previous assessment. Changes in estimate, if any, will be reflected prospectively in a revised depreciation charge over the remaining, revised useful life.

(d) Land ownership

Due to the transition from public to private ownership, e.g. in the transformation and privatisation process and the fact that the properties of the Company that were used in the transformation process were evaluated in the share capital of the Company, and part was not evaluated, there are certain ambiguities and proceedings regarding the ownership of part of the land within the majority of tourist companies. In a clear and undisputed ownership the Company has approximately 1.77 million m2 of land and land which is the object of determining the status of co-ownership or ownership in accordance with the regulations of the Law on Tourist and Other Construction Land not evaluated in the transformation and privatisation process, that came into force on 1 August 2010 (hereinafter the Law) is approximately 3.24 million m2 . On 31 January 2011 the Company submitted requests according to the Law in appropriate legal deadline and prescribed content.

Concessions are required: a) for approximately 2.28 million m2 of land in the camps to determine the co-ownership shares of the Republic of Croatia and for which, according to relevant wages regulations, advance concession fee of approximately HRK 4.8 mil. per year; and b) for approximately 960 thousand m2 of land in tourist resorts and hotels that should determine ground plan of hotels, apartments and other estimated buildings and land owned by the Company and other land owned by the local government and for which, according to relevant regulations, is paid advance concession fee of approximately HRK 1.3 mil. per year.

A more detailed description of proceedings and unsolved situations for properties of the Company are disclosed in the Note 33.

(e) Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets represents the amount of income tax recoverable through future deductions from taxable profits and are recognised in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent of tax benefit that is probable to be achieved. While determining future taxable profits and the amount of tax benefits that are likely to be generated in the future, Management of the Company makes judgments and applies estimations based on taxable profits from previous years and expectations of future income that are believed to be reasonable under the existing circumstances.

For investments in the Valamar Isabella Resort and destination Rabac from 2014 up to 31 December 2016 the Company has achieved total investment tax credit incentives of HRK 124,708 thousand.

The Company has fulfilled the requirements of preserving the properties and of additional employment, and for the year ended 31 December 2016 has utilised HRK 41,040 thousand of tax incentives and recognised remaining tax incentives of HRK 83,668 thousand as deferred tax asset.

Under the Act on Investment Incentives, the Company may be able to achieve additional tax incentives for additional investments in destination Rabac realised up to the 18 March 2017. At the moment, the Company cannot determine and estimate the extent of this investment incentive and whether it will fulfill the various legal and documentation requirements. Accordingly, the recognition of potential additional deferred tax assets will be considered further during 2017.

(f) Consolidation

The Group acquired company Imperial d.d. ("Imperial") on 12 December 2016. Assets and liabilities of subsidiary are included in consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016, while the Group's investment in Imperial and subsidiary's capital and reserves have been eliminated. Since the income and expenses of Imperial d.d., Rab in the period from 12 December up to 31 December 2016 were insignificant as explained in Note 37 and due to practicality they were not included in Group's statement of comprehensive income. There were no intercompany transactions from the control acquisition up to the 31 December 2016.

NOTE 5 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Following the management approach of IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Group's Management (the chief operating decision-makers), which are responsible for allocating resources to the reportable segments and assessing its performance.

The Group records operating revenues and expenses by types of services rendered in three basic segments: hotels and apartments, camping and other business segments. Revenue was divided between segments according to the organisational principle where all of the income generated from camping profit centres was reported in the camping segment, while all of the income generated from hotel and apartment profit centres was reported in that segment. Other business segments include revenue from sports activities, laundry services, other rentals of properties and revenue generated from the central services and central kitchens.

The segment information related to reportable segments for the year ended 31 December 2016 is as follows:

Croatian tax legislation does not allow tax losses to be transferred among group companies. In accordance with the regulations of the Republic of Croatia, the Tax Authority may at any time inspect the Group Company's books and records within three years following the year in which the tax liability was reported, and may impose additional tax assessments and penalties. Tax Administration has issued a ruling concerning the tax audit for the year 2010 for the company Rabac d.d. which was

merged with the company Valamar Riviera d.d. on 1 September 2011. According to this ruling, there is an increase in the tax liabilities of HRK 4,428 thousand. The Company has appealed the aforementioned decision. The appeal was accepted. In the repeated proceedings Tax Authority issued a ruling which stated that the tax liability should be reduced to the amount of HRK 1,201 thousand. The Company has appealed the aforementioned decision.

Management of the Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on the financial position and performance of the Company.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAX (continued)

During 2014, in accordance with the Act on Investment Incentives, the Company became entitled to a tax incentive. Incentive is based on investment in the Valamar Isabella Resort which is significant and relates to the technologically demanding reconstruction of facilities on the island of St. Nikola in Poreč. For investments up to 31 December 2015 the Company has achieved total incentives of HRK 68 million. The investment as completed is subject to inspection of state institutions and the Company has to retain new employees (related to the incentive program requirements) during the utilisation of incentive for a minimum period of 5 years.

For investments in the Valamar Isabella Resort and destination Rabac from 2014 up to 31 December 2016 the Company has achieved total investment tax credit incentives of HRK 124,708 thousand.

The Company has fulfilled the requirements of preserving the properties and of additional employment, and for the year ended 31 December 2016 has utilised HRK 41,040 thousand of tax incentives and recognised remaining tax incentives of HRK 83,668 thousand as deferred tax asset.

Under the Act on Investment Incentives, the Company may be able to achieve additional tax incentives for additional investments realised up to the 18 March 2017. At the moment, the Company cannot determine and estimate the extent of this investment incentive and whether it will fulfill the various legal and documentation requirements. Accordingly, the recognition of potential additional deferred tax assets will be considered further during 2017.

NOTE 13 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

A number of buyers were not able to register their ownership title over the stated land, and consequently initiated legal proceedings at the Municipal Court in Dubrovnik with the aim of terminating their sales contract and on the basis of expectation of future payments recorded based on the value of the aforementioned land according to the sales contracts.

In 2016 there weren't any additional provisions for legal proceedings. In 2016 the following provisions were abolished, provision for completed court proceeding which relates to arbitration proceeding with Company Glavice d.o.o, Dubrovnik "in bankruptcy" in regards to upgrade and reconstruction of hotel Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik and subcontractor Kamen d.d.

NOTE 33 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is plaintiff and defendant in various legal actions. In the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, provisions for certain legal proceedings have been made for which the Company anticipates outflows of HRK 26,579 thousand.

Transformation and privatisation audit and ownership over land

A transformation and privatisation audit was carried out for the Company during 2002 and 2003, with a separate audit for Riviera Poreč d.d. (formerly Riviera Holding d.d., Riviera Adria d.d., now Valamar Riviera d.d.) and for companies merged into Valamar Riviera d.d.: Rabac d.d., Zlatni Otok d.d. and Dubrovnik Babin kuk d.d. The reports claim that the transformation and privatisation process had not been performed entirely in accordance with legal regulations, primarily in relation to properties that are not evaluated in the Company's equity but are owned by the Company and are partly recorded in the land records, as well as properties that are reported in the Company's equity but have not yet been recorded in the land registry. The Company, as well as its legal predecessors, submitted timely objections to the transformation and privatisation audit reports to the State Audit Office, but at the date of issue of these financial statements they had not received any response from the State Audit Office with respect to the objection of the Company and/ or the legal predecessors of the Company.

The outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of the Company or the Group.

To protect their interests, the Company is conducting a number of legal and/or administrative procedures which are primarily related to land which was excluded from the valuation in the process of transformation and privatization, but was partially registered by the Company and on a portion of which catering and other facilities have been built or are in function (in the Lanterna and Solaris resorts and the Lanterna, Solaris, Istra, Ježevac, Krk and Škrila camping grounds) as well as procedures in relation to land in Dubrovnik, which was evaluated but not registered, and land which has been sold, but was not evaluated.

The outcome and the result of the legal and other proceedings cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, but a resolution is expected in accordance with the Act on tourist and other construction land not evaluated in transformation and privatisation processes, and in relation to land in the area of Dubrovnik, through settlement. On 1 August 2010, the Act on tourist and other construction land not evaluated in transformation and privatisation processes ("the ZOTZ") entered into force, on the basis of the provisions of which the ownership and co-ownership over land not evaluated in transformation and privatisation processes should finally be determined, and in the spirit of the provisions of which all disputes which are ongoing in relation to unevaluated tourist land, primarily land in the area of Poreč, Rabac and Krk, will be resolved. The Company initiated procedures in accordance with the provisions of the ZOTZ within the prescribed period, through submission of a request on 31 January 2011 for concessions on tourist land in camping grounds and tourist land in tourist resorts, as well as requests for verification of plots/land ground-plan surface area of appraised buildings (hotels, apartments and other appraised buildings) and other prescribed requests. The ownership and/or co-ownership of the Company of the portion of land not evaluated in the transformation and privatisation procedures will be determined by the outcome of these procedures. The aforementioned procedures have not been completed yet, however, the Company makes socalled advance payments of concession fees for tourist land to the competent authorities.

The Company is in the process of harmonization and negotiations with the CERP and the Croatian State Prosecution related to land in Dubrovnik.

The outcome of these procedures is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements or results of the Company or the Group.

NOTE 37 – BUSINESS COMBINATION IMPERIAL D.D.

Valamar Riviera d.d. acquired 54.71% of shares of Imperial d.d. via sales contract, concluded with the Republic of Croatia, the State Agency for Deposit Insurance and Bank Resolution, the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute and the Restructuring and Sale Center (CERP) and the Agreement on Cooperation concluded with the company AZ d.o.o., and upon completion of the public offer for the takeover of Imperial d.d.

Imperial d.d., Rab is consolidated in the financial statements from 31 December 2016, representing 19 days after the date that the Company acquired control via appointments to the Supervisory Board. For the period from 12 to 31 December 2016 Imperial d.d. contribution to the Group consolidated income would have been approximately HRK 2,497 thousand and contribution to net result would be a reported loss of HRK 3,535 thousand. Due to impracticalities and restrictions in obtaining access to perform financial procedures on 12 December 2016, given the insignificance of the time period and financial effects, the Group has determined to perform consolidation procedures as at 31 December 2016.

If the acquisition of the subsidiary occurred on 1 January 2016, the Management estimates that consolidated revenue of the Group would amount to HRK 1,673,135 thousand, and Group's consolidated profit to HRK 340,410 thousand. In determining the values specified of acquired assets and liabilities, Management Board assumed that fair value adjustments which arose on the acquisition would have been similar to that had the acquisition be recorded on 12 December 2016 or 1 January 2016.

a) Acquisition cost

Acquisition cost was formed based on fair value of consideration transferred in the amount of HRK 284,942 thousand.

b) Other acquisition relating costs

The Company incurred acquisition relating cost of HRK 1,076 thousand on legal fees and due diligence costs. These cost have been included in other operating expenses.

Trade and other payables (15,559)
Current provisions (579)
Liabilities acquired (255,587)
Total identifiable net assets acquired 520,784

Fair value of property at the acquisition date differs from the carrying values. The fair value of property was determined by value in use which is based on discounted cash flows for individual properties (cash-generating units). For the minor part of land, fair value was based on the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, and for the minor part of properties the cost approach was used. The fair value of other assets and liabilities at the acquisition date corresponds to the carrying value of these assets. On the 31 December 2016, the share of non-controlling interests in the equity of the acquired company amounts to 54.71%, according to what is stated non-controlling interest in the amount of HRK 235,842 thousand.
