*The Group present in the statement of cash flow changes in finance liabilities (proceeds from borrowings, lease liabilities
repayments, and repayment of borrowings). For the year ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 respectively,
the changes in finance lease comprise in principal cash changes, the effect of non-cash changes is not material therefore the
Group believes that the presentation truly reveals the cash changes in finance liabilities.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The Group’s consolidated financial statements were drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Order no. 2844/2016 for
approval of accounting regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to
companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, with subsequent amendments and clarifications
(“OMFP 28422/2016”). These provisions are in accordance with the provisions of the adopted International Financial
Reporting Standards by the European Union (“IFRS EU”).

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of preparation

The statutory consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost
basis except for certain classes of financial instruments and Property Plant and Equipment that are measured at revalued
amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of
the consideration given in the exchange for assets.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention
adjusted for the effects of hyperinflation until December 31, 2003 for share capital and reserves, respectively property,
plant and equipment.

Going concern

Management have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This reasonable expectation is based
on the following:

The Group recorded net profit in the amount of RON 271,613,984 for 2022 (2021: RON 388,654,469 );

As disclosed in Note 23A. the Group is compliant with the financial covenants as stated in the borrowing
agreements and expects to be compliant with them in 2023, as well.
Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(a)
Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

(i)
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated initially at cost, which includes purchase price and other costs directly attributable
to acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for their intended use.
The tangible assets are measured at revalued amounts less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses since the most recent valuation. The assets in progress and advance payments for non-current assets are measured at
cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluations of property, plant and equipment are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does
not differ materially from the one that would be determined using the fair value at the end of the reporting period. The last
revaluation was made as of December 31, 2021 by an independent certified appraiser – Darian DRS S.A
When an item of tangible assets is revalued, the accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount
of that item, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
The cost of assets internally constructed by the Group includes the following:
i.
material costs and direct labour costs;
ii.
any amounts that can be directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition;
iii.
costs of dismantle, removal and restoration of the area in which they were placed, when the Group is required to
move the assets and restore land;
iv.
borrowing costs (capitalized).
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are considered as separate parts.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a)
Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets (continued)
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
A provision for unused tangible assets is recorded in the financial statements to the extent that these items are identified.
The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and installation major construction are capitalized in the cost of tangible assets in progress in accordance with IAS 23 „Borrowing costs”.

Gains or losses from the disposal of an assets (determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying value
of tangible assets) are recognized in profit or loss account.

(ii)
Subsequent expenditure on maintenance

Subsequent costs on major maintenance and replacements are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized 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. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
Cost of other maintenance, repair and minor improvements are shown on expenses when they are carried out.
Impairment tests are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those
that would be determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period.

(iii)
Depreciation

Tangible assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives. The estimated useful lives used for
tangible assets are as follows:
Category

Useful live

(years)

Buildings / special installations

30-50

Plant and machinery

2-30

Fixtures and fittings

2-15

Fixed assets in progress are not depreciated. The depreciation of the fixed assets in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to be ensured their consistency
with the estimated period of economic benefits that will result from the use of assets.

(iv)
Revaluation reserve
The difference between the revalued amount and the net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is recognised
as revaluation reserve included in equity.
If an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognised and accumulated in equity
under the heading of revaluation reserve. However, the increase is recognised in profit and loss to the extent that it reverses
a revaluation decrease of the same amount of the asset previously recognised in profit and loss.
If an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognised in profit or loss. However,
the decrease is recognized in equity in revaluation reserves if there is any credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve in
respect of that asset.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a)
Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets (continued)
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment may be transferred
directly to retained earnings when the asset is derecognised. This may involve transferring the whole of the surplus when
the asset is retired or disposed of. Transfers from revaluation surplus to retained earnings are not made through profit or
loss.
The effects of taxes on income, if any, resulting from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment are recognised and
disclosed in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.

(v)
Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group ‘s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each reporting date to determine whether there is evidence of the existence of any impairment. An impairment loss is
recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In
determining value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to determine the present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For impairment
testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped in the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from
continuing use and that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (“cash-generating
unit”).
An impairment loss should be recognised in profit or loss immediately unless it relates to an asset carried at a revalued
amount. If an asset has been revalued (e.g. an item of property, plant and equipment), the impairment loss is dealt with as a
revaluation decrease in accordance with the relevant Standard, (in this case, IAS 16).
For all assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is evidence that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An impairment loss is reversed if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment had been recognized.

(vi)
Reclassification to and from investment property

The
Group
reclassifies elements of plant, property and equipment as investment property or elements of investment
property to plant, property and equipment when:

when there is a change in use, a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition
of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use;
end of owner-occupation, for a transfer from owner-occupied property to investment property

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a
business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is
reflected in the income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are
assessed as either finite or indefinite.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(a)
Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets (continued)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
(continued)
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is
an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The estimated useful lives used for intangible assets are as follows:
Category

Useful live

Licenses

2 years

Patents

2-12 years

Concessions

2 years

Trademarks and customers lists

Indefinite useful life

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at
each financial year end.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the
asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates.
The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the income statement in the depreciation and
amortization expense.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, as well as whenever there is any indication that they may be impaired.

(b)
Investment property

An investment property is held to obtain revenues from rentals or to increase the capital or both. Therefore, an investment
property generates cash flows that are to a great extent independent from other assets held by an Group.
The Group’s accounting policy regarding subsequent valuation of investment property is based on the cost model, and subsequently depreciated on its useful life, using the straight line method.

(c)
Foreign currencies

The Group’s operations are in Romania and the functional currency is RON.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the Group ‘s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing
at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates
prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost
in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use,
which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those
foreign currency borrowings;

Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

(d)
Trade receivables and other receivables

Trade Receivables and other receivables include invoices issued at nominal value and revenues for goods delivered until the
end of the year but invoiced in the first days after the end of the year. Trade receivables and similar accounts are initially
recognized at transaction price and subsequently presented at amortized cost less impairment losses. Trade and other
receivables do not contain any significant financing component, the amortized costs amounts approximates the fair value.
. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates.
The nominal value of receivables to be collected in instalments due over one year is discounted considering the best
estimate of an interest rate, to take into account the time value of money and risk profile of the counterparty.
Please refer to note 3 (g) for how the Group recognizes lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables. The Group uses
the simplified method of expected credit losses.

(e)
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Inventories like raw materials, consumables, materials in the form of inventory items, goods and packages are valued at
acquisition cost or the price in foreign currency at the exchange rate on the date of acquisition, plus custom duties, custom
fees and travel expenses such as insurance.
Costs of inventories is determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for
inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
If the Group considers it necessary, value adjustments are made for obsolete inventory or scrap.

(f)
Bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and deposits with an original maturity up to 3 months which are subject
to an insignificant risk in fair value change. Cash in foreign currencies are revalued at the exchange rate at the end of the
period. Bank overdrafts are treated as current liabilities.
Bank deposits refer to those who have an initial maturity of more than 3 months.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g)
Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at
amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at
each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Group
assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these
financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for
factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the
forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
i.
Definition of default
The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as
historical experience indicates that financial assets that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:

when there is a breach of financial covenants by the debtor; or

information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its
creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group).
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more
than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging
default criterion is more appropriate.
ii.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash
flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about
the following events:
a)
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
b)
a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event (see (ii) above);
c)
the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty,
having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
d)
it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
e)
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
iii.
Write-off policy
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial
difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has
entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the
Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in
profit or loss.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets (continued)
iv.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude
of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given
default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at
default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to
the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the
original effective interest rate.
The Group recognises an impairment loss and reversal of impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial assets in the scope
of expected credit loss (ECL) model with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance
account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment
revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the
transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have
to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group
continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and
the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

(h)
Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as part of equity. The Group recognizes changes in the share capital as provided by law and
only after their approval by the Shareholders and registration at Trade Register. Additional costs directly attributable to issue
of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of the effects of taxation.

(i)
Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured using the effective interest
method and include the invoices issued by suppliers of goods and services rendered.

(j)
Interest bearing loans

Interest bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
borrowings are presented at amortized cost, any difference between cost and redemption value being recognized in the
income statement over the period of a loan based on the effective interest rate.
Transaction costs and commitment fees on loans are amortized over the repayment period of the loan in accordance with effective interest rate method.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k)
Leasing

The Group as lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease component, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises
a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except
for short-term leases (with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (of less than USD 5,000). For
these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased
assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its
incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is
subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective
interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset)
whenever:

the lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the
assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the
revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;

the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a
guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease
payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating
interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used)

a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the
lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease
payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease
transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a
purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation
starts at the commencement date of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Please refer to note 3 (a) (v) for the accounting policy for impairment testing.

(l)
Employee benefits

The Group, in the normal course of business, makes payments to the Romanian State on behalf of its employees for
pensions, health care and unemployment cover. The cost of these payments is charged to profit or loss account in the same
period as the related salary cost.
The Group pays employees retirement benefits, benefits which are defined in the Collective Labor Agreement of the Group.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l)
Employee benefits (continued)
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognized in other comprehensive income are not reclassified.

(m)
Governmental Grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as
expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary
condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets (including property, plant
and equipment) are recognised as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to
profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving
immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which
they become receivable.

(n)
Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognized as
financial expense. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the
expenditures that are foreseen to be required to settle the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a
receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is
considered to exist where the
Group
has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the
contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Decommissioning provisions

Liabilities for decommissioning costs are recognized when the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a facility or
an item of plant and to restore the site on which it is located, and when a reliable estimate of that liability can be made.
According with the Integrated Environmental Authorisation no. 1/10.01.2013 from the Agency of Environmental Protection
Bacau, the Group should dismantle the equipment when the activity will be ceased, and restore the land to its initial
condition. As at December 31, 2022, the Group have no plans to cease totally or partially the Group’s activity.

Income tax expenses comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is the tax expected to be paid or received for taxable income or loss realized in the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to the payment obligations of corporation tax for the
previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax arising from declaring dividends.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the tax base used to calculate the tax. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following
temporary differences:


the initial recognition of assets or liabilities originating in a transaction that is not a business combination and
that is not affecting the accounting or taxable profit or loss;

differences on investments in subsidiaries or jointly controlled entities, to the extent that it is probable that they
will not be reversed in the foreseeable future; and

taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
receivables, and relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority to the same Group or different taxable Group, and the
Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that
it is probable the realization of taxable profits which will be available in the future and will be used. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that a tax benefit will be
realized. Effect of tax rate change on deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Statutory income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 16% (December 31, 2021: 16%).

(p)
Related parties

Companies are considered related if one party, through ownership, contractual rights, family relationship or other kind, has
the opportunity to directly or indirectly control or significantly influence the other party.

(q)
Revenues

Revenues are measured
in accordance with IFRS 15 – Revenues from Contracts with Customers
.
IFRS 15 establishes a 5-step model to record the revenues resulted from contracts with customers:

Step 1: Identification of a contract with a customer

Step 2: Identification of performance obligations established in the contract.

Step 3: Determination of the transaction price

Step 4: Allocation of the transaction price for the performance obligations included in the contract

Step 5: Recognition of revenues as the company fulfils each performance obligation
In accordance with IFRS 15, revenues are recognized in the amount which reflects the consideration at which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange of the transfer of goods or services to a customer

Revenues (continued)
Revenues from sales of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognized at a point in time when it transfers control of a product to the buyer.
The consideration promised in sales contracts doesn’t include a variable consideration such as discounts, rebates, refunds,
credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses or other similar items.
The Group invoices the customer for the agreed-upon price with a typical 30-day payment terms, some group of clients
might have a maximum length of 90-day payment terms. Advance payments are requested by the Group to the external
clients and once the advance is received the goods are delivered in less than 30 days.
The Group does not applies long term frame contracts with minimal purchase commitment as all purchases are ad-hoc
orders.
In accordance with IFRS 15, the revenues will be recognized when a customer gets control of the goods. The Group delivers
goods under contractual conditions based on delivery terms.
For the contracts with customers, the sale of goods (mainly polyols, chloralkali and oxo alcohols products) is generally
estimated to be one single performance obligation. The Group
charges extra for shipping if the customer requires delivery
services and the delivery fees are included in the price of products sold. Thereby delivery necessarily occurs before control
of the goods transfers to the customer and the Group policy is to consider that the delivery fees are not a separate service
provided to the customer and are included in the transaction price. The Group does not provide transportation services as a
standalone service and these are done in connection with the sale of goods to certain customers.
The Group expects that the revenue recognition will take place at a certain moment in time, when the control of the asset is
transferred to the customer, namely upon delivery of the goods in accordance with the Incoterms established. The main
incoterm used by the Group is Free Carrier “FCA” is on over 70% of the Group’s sales followed by Delivered at Place “DAP”,
Delivered Duty Paid “DDP” and Carriage and Insurance Paid to “CIP”.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Group didn’t have any bill-and-hold arrangement concluded.
Revenues from service
Revenue from sales of services is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a
contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a service to a
customer. The services
provided by the Group are recognized monthly once the service is performed. The
Group applies a typical 30-day payment
terms

(r)
Financial income and expenses

Financial income includes interest income, dividend income, changes in fair value of financial assets through profit or loss.
Interest income is recognized as it accumulates in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is
recognized in profit or loss at the date when is determined the Group’s right to receive dividends.
Financial expenses comprise interest expenses of loans, unwinding of the discount of provisions, changes in the fair value of
financial assets recognized at fair value through profit or loss.
All borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of assets on long-term, are
recognized in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses on exchange differences are carried on a net basis.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(s)
Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are presented if there is the
possibility of an outflow of resources representing possible economic benefits, but not probable, and / or the amount can be
estimated reliably. A contingent asset is not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, but
disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable but not remote and the amount cannot be reliably estimate

(t)
Fair value

Certain accounting policies of the Group and presentation of information requirements need the determination of fair value
for financial assets and liabilities such as for non-financial. The fair values were determined in order to evaluate and present
the information in the consolidated financial statements using the methods described below. When applicable, further
information about the assumptions used in determining fair values are disclosed specific to the asset or liability.

(u)
Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred
by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the
Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the
acquisition date, except that:

deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based
payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree
are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments at the acquisition date (see below); and

assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes contingent consideration arrangement,
the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration
transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement
period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period
adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which
cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement
period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as
equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Other
contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates with changes in fair value recognised in
profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are
remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts
arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were
disposed of.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(u)
Business combinations (continued)
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those
provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are
recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if
known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

(v)
Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a
joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee
.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of
accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with
IFRS 5.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is recognised initially in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive
income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate
(which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the
Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group
has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an
associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share
of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within
the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in
which the investment is acquired.

(w)
Consolidation of entities under common control

Acquisitions of entities under common control is a transaction where the acquired entities are ultimately controlled by the
same party or parties both before and after the consolidation, and that control is not transitory. Under the predecessor
value method, the consolidation is performed as follow:

the acquired assets and liabilities are recorded at their existing carrying values;

no goodwill is recorded, the surplus from the acquisition is recorded in the Group retained earnings;

the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of entities under common control have
been aggregated and all balances and transactions between the entities have been eliminated.

4.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors are required to make
judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered
to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only
that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

policies

and

that

have

the

effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.
Revaluation of tangible assets
The Group records its tangible assets based on the revaluation method. The last revaluation of property plant and
equipment has been performed as at December 31, 2021, using the depreciated cost method and adjusted, as necessary,
based on an impairment test exercise.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the intangible and tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). As at
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively, the management assessed if there is any impairment indicators for
tangible and intangible assets. There was no impairment indicator identified.
In assessing the recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets, management estimates future cash flows discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the tangible and intangible assets for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
The Company considers that the disposal costs are not negligible and the fair value less costs of disposal of the revalued
asset is necessarily less than its fair value.
The Group considers that the disposal costs of the tangible assets are not negligible and the fair value less costs of disposal
of the revalued asset is necessarily less than its fair value. Therefore, the revalued asset will be impaired if its

fair values less

cost to sell

is less than its revalued amount. In this case, after the revaluation requirements have been applied, the Group
applies this to determine whether the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount for intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks and customer lists) is determined annually
as the fair value less costs to sell of the specific intangible asset. The Group determine the fair value for impairment analysis
specifically for each item of intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

When measuring the fair value of tangible and intangible assets, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques
as follows:


Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3: inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The budgets used includes forecast for revenue, raw materials, utilities, staff costs and other operating expenses and income
based on current and anticipated market conditions and are approved by the board. However, the budgets used are subject
to uncertainties mainly determined by the market volatility and assumptions used by management, the headroom is
significant.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting period that
may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of liabilities within the next financial
year, are discussed below.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (continued)

Useful life’s of property, plant and equipment items
The management reviews for adequacy the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each
annual reporting period.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
The management exercises judgment in measuring and recognizing provisions (e.g., decommissioning provision, retirement
provision, CO2 emissions provision, commercial litigation, etc.) and the exposures to contingent liabilities related to pending
litigation or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or government regulation, as
well as other contingent liabilities. Judgment is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a
liability will arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this
evaluation process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision.

price of electricity. The measure covers indirect emission costs incurred in years 2021 and 2022.
The Group recorded as Other income the amount of RON 32,404,226 representing the subsidy for 2021 indirect emission
cost. The subsidy related to 2022 indirect emission costs in the amount of RON 64,173,308 has been recorded under Water
and energy expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The aid scheme was
approved by the Government in October 2022 therefore, the entries were performed by the Group in 2022 when was
certain that the aid is granted by the Government.

The Company’s land, buildings and equipment are stated at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of
revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The fair value measurements of the Group’s tangible assets as at 31 December 2021 were performed by Darian DRS S.A. an
independent valuer. Darian DRS S.A. is member of the National Association of Authorised Romanian Valuers, and has
appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the fair value measurement of properties in the relevant locations. The
valuation conforms to International Valuation Standards and was based on recent market transactions on arm’s length
terms for similar properties, whenever possible and discounted cash-flows method.
The Group considers that there is no material change in the fair value of the property, plant and equipment as of 31
December 2022 compared with the last revaluation.
Property, plant and equipment located on Onesti industrial platform has been mortgaged for bank loans (please see note
23.a). The term loans from CEC Bank and Alpha Bank are jointly secured with mortgage on property, plant and equipment
located on the industrial platform from Onesti and assignment of the insurance policy.
The Group has developed internally fixed assets in amount of RON 23,221,751 for 2022 and RON 16,188,982 for 2021. These
are included under cost of buildings and other constructions.

The average credit period on sales of goods is 40 days as in 2021. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables.
The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The expected credit
losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and
an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic
conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast
direction of conditions at the reporting date. There has been no change in the estimation techniques during the current
reporting period.
c)
Allowances for trade receivables
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty
and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into
bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the
trade receivables that have been written off is subject to enforcement activities.
The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s
historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the
provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer
segments.

1)
The provision recorded in relation to SCR payment was recorded in relation to the commitment taken by SCR to guarantee for Chimcomplex SA obligations in respect of the
borrowings received from VTB Bank and Credit Suisse. The Group considered to record a provision in relation to the payment through the whole period of the contracted loan,
based on the loans maturities, as the loans were prepaid during the year the remaining value was recorded during the year and part of the amount was invoiced and paid.
2)
The decommissioning provision was recorded in relation to 2 warehouses of non hazardous substances used by both Onesti and Ramnicu Valcea branches.
3)
The group is in the process of litigation with Amerocap, for the value of success fee (in total amount of USD 3,039,150) related to the advisory services provided by Amerocap in
connection with the prior year business acquisition from Oltchim S.A. Based on the fact that on the first decision of the court the group losed, management assessed that this
litigation will have an adverse effect on the financial performance and the financial position of the Group, and, as a result, a provision has been registered in this respect. The
litigation is in progress. The economic benefits outflow will occur when the court issues the final decision.

4)
According with the Group collective labor agreement, each employee is entitled to receive a compensation in the moment of retirement equal with one average salary. The
retirement provisions represent the best estimate made by the management for the employees.

a)
Capital risk 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 shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings presented at note 23, cash and cash
equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained
earnings.
The debt (i) is presented in financial statements as total liabilities while equity (ii) represents equity attributable to owners
of the group.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as
debt divided by total equity. Debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown
in the balance sheet).
The gearing ratios as at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis presented below has been determined for existing interest bearing loans outstanding at the reporting
date, and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the next
reporting period in the case of borrowings linked to floating rates.
If interest rates for financial liabilities at variable rate would be higher / lower by 1% (100 basis points) and all other variables
are held constant, the Group’s net loss for 2022 would increase / decrease by RON 5,071,098 (2021: RON 3,240,045). This is
mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable interest rate EUR denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis to exchange rate variations
The Group is exposed to the exchange rate EUR/RON mainly. The following table details the Group sensitivity to a 10%
increase and decrease in the RON against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting
foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably
possible change in foreign exchange rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their
translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates for all currencies. A negative number indicates a
decrease in profit where the RON weakness 10% against the relevant foreign currency.
For a 10% strengthening of the RON against the relevant currencies, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the
profit and other equity, and the balances below would be positive. Changes will be attributable to exposure on the
borrowings and trade payables, mostly, at the end of the reporting period.

e)
Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers, cash and cash equivalents and
bank deposits. Cash and bank deposits are placed in financial institutions which are considered to have low risk of default.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
For Trade receivables the Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group is in process of setting up a policy
regarding insurance of the trade receivables. Also more than 70% of clients are external for which the Group request
advance payments. Due dates depend are usually up to 30 days, a 90 days period is granted only for group of companies.
Credit approvals and other monitoring procedures are also in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover
overdue debts. Furthermore, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each trade debt and debt investment on an
individual basis at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate loss allowance is made for irrecoverable
amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced. Trade
receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit
evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.
For trade receivables, the Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL.
The Group determines the expected credit losses on these items by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical
credit loss experience based on the past due status of the debtors, adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and
estimates of future economic conditions. Accordingly, the credit risk profile of these assets is presented based on their past
due status in terms of the provision matrix. Please refer to Note 20.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
Short-term loans granted are subject to general model for allowance assessment however, the Group believes that there is no material impact if the expected credit loss model would be applied.

f)
Price risk

The price is established based on agreement between the parties. The management is estimating the selling price starting from the actual costs incurred. The Group does not use hedging instruments in order to mitigate the price risk.

g)
Accounting classifications and fair values

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their
levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not
measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
In accordance with IFRS 13, the individual levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Using quoted prices in active markets for the same assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments traded
in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet end date.
Level 2: Using information about the asset or liability, other than quoted prices, identifiable either directly (as prices) or
indirectly (derived from prices). To determine the fair value of financial instruments, the Group uses the transactions prices
available on market where it available.
Level 3: Using information about the asset or liability that does not come from identifiable market data, such as prices, but
come from internal models or other valuation methods.

27.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include all assets with contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specific
dates. The Group includes in this measurement category the trade receivables, other long-term assets, short term loans
granted, and cash and cash equivalents. Initial measurement of these assets is generally at fair value, which usually
corresponds to the transaction price at the time of acquisition or, in the case of trade receivable, to the transaction price
pursuant to IFRS 15. Due to the short terms of the cash and cash equivalents short term loans granted, and trade
receivables, the fair values largely correspond to the carrying amounts since it reflects the transaction price.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost generally include all financial liabilities, provided these do not represent
derivatives. They are generally measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, which usually corresponds to the
value of the consideration received. Subsequent measurement is recognized in profit or loss at amortized cost using the
effective interest method. For trade liabilities and other liabilities usually mature in the short term, the amounts on the
balance sheet represent approximations of their fair value since the carrying amount is similar to the transaction price.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigations
The Group is subject to several legal actions arisen in the normal course of business. Management considers that all the
litigations that will have a material adverse effect on the financial performance and the financial position of the Group were
recorded, please see Note 26. Additionally, the Group is involved in a litigation with its former management, the claims are

On January 10, 2013, the Regional Agency of Environment of Bacau County issued an environmental authorization valid until

32.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Climate changes
The Group is also interested in environmental problems that may arise for its customers due to the products manufactured
by Group. In order to limit the impact on the environment when using our products, the Group provides customers with
information on products and environmental protection measures when using them through labels, quality standards,
instructions for use, safety data sheets, training and technical support when buying products .
The Group aims to improve communication with the parties interested in environmental performance, with the local
community, control and regulatory authorities, collaborators, etc., carrying out actions for the exchange of ideas, thematic
debates, etc. (direct meetings). In this sense, the modernization works and the investments with possible impact on the
environment were carried out in accordance with the legislation in force, but also with the information of the public and the
interested parties to highlight the interest and effort of our organization for the compliance and application of the legal
provisions and for continuous improvement of environmental performance.
The year 2022 brought a considerable decrease in greenhouse gas emissions (on both platforms) due to both the decrease in
the amount of natural gas consumed and, against the background of the economic crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine, the
aggressive increase in the price of natural gas and restricting the sales market for the Group products.
Under these conditions, it was necessary to take measures for the judicious use of own cogeneration installations to
produce electricity and thermal energy needed in the activity, in parallel with the purchase of electricity from the market. At
the same time, a part of natural gas was replaced with hydrogen produced in electrolysis and used as fuel to produce
thermal energy without emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2).
The regulations regarding the environment are in a development phase in Romania and the Group did not.
recorded liabilities as December 31, 2022, for any anticipated costs, including legal and consultancy fees, design and
installation in implementing environmental remedial plans. The Group believe that for this moment there is no material
impact arising from climate changes aspect that could affect the financial statements.
Taxation
Taxation system in Romania is still developing trying to consolidate and harmonize with the European legislation. In this
respect, there still are various interpretations of the tax laws. In certain cases, tax authorities may treat differently certain
aspects and calculate supplementary taxes and levies and related interests and penalties.

According to the legislation in force, in 2022, interest and delay penalties were levied for tax payers’ failure to pay their tax
obligations on time.

As of January 1, 2022 the interest value is 0.02% and the delay penalty is of 0.02% for each day of delay.
In Romania, the statute of limitation for tax audits is of 5 years. Management considers that the tax

obligations included in

these financial statements are adequate.

Acquisitions
As at December 31, 2022 the Group has purchasing commitments related to utilities and raw materials of RON 377,361,916
(December 31, 2021: RON 1,198,078,992).

33.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The ongoing military operation in Ukraine and the related sanctions targeted against the Russian Federation may have
impact on the European economies and globally. The entity does not have any significant direct exposure to Ukraine, Russia
or Belarus.
However, the impact on the general economic situation may require revisions of certain assumptions and estimates. This
may lead to material adjustments to the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities within the next financial year. At this
stage management is not able to reliably estimate the impact as events are unfolding day-by-day.
The longer-term impact may also affect trading volumes, cash flows, and profitability. Nevertheless, at the date of these
financial statements the Company continues to meet its obligations as they fall due and therefore continues to apply the
going concern basis of preparation.
The Board of Directors approve the coverage of the carryover accounting loss, arising from the application of IAS 29, in the
amount of 1,729,903 lei, with the full amounts recorded in the “Adjustments of the share capital” account (account in which
the value of 886,083,318 lei from hyperinflation was recorded) and submission of this point for approval on the agenda of
the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.
