SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The Company’s standalone 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”).

Basis of preparation

The statutory standalone 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 standalone 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.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Going concern

Management have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has

adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This reasonable expectation is based
on the following:

•
The Company recorded net profit in the amount of RON
266,061,923

for 2022 (2021: RON 388,403,849);

•
As disclosed in Note 23A. the Company is compliant with the financial covenants as stated in the borrowing
agreements and expects to be compliant with them in 2023 as well.

Thus management continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the standalone financial
statements.

(a)
Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

(i)
Recognizing 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 Company 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 Company 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.

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.

Property, plant and Equipment and intangible assets (continued)

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

(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 Company 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

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 a Company.

The Company’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.

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

In preparing the standalone financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company ‘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 amount 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 if 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 are 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 Company 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.

(g)
Impairment of financial assets

The Company 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
Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g)
Impairment of financial assets (continued)

The Company 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 Company’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 Company 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 Company, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more

than 90 days past due unless the Company 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 Company 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
Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in
profit or loss.

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 Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the
original effective interest rate.

(all amounts are expressed in RON, unless specified otherwise)

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g)
Impairment of financial assets (continued)

The Company 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 Company 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 Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the
transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may
have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the
Company 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 Company 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.

(k)
Leasing

The Company as lessee

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company 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 Company 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 Company uses
its incremental borrowing rate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k)
Leasing (continued)

The Company as lessee (continued)

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the standalone 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 Company 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 Company 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 standalone statement of financial position.

Please refer to note 3 (a) (v) for the accounting policy for impairment testing.

(l)
Employee benefits

The Company, 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 Company pays employees retirement benefits, benefits which are defined in the Collective Labor Agreement of the
Company.

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 Company will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(m)
Governmental Grants (continued)

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises
as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose
primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets (including
property, plant and equipment) are recognised as deferred income in the standalone 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 Company 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 Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company should dismantle the equipment when the activity will be ceased, and restore the land to its initial
condition. As at December 31, 2022, the Company have no plans to cease totally or partially the Company’s activity.

However, a decommissioning provision was recorded in relation to warehouses with dangerous and non-hazard substances
for which the decommissioning part should be performed in order to comply with the environmental requirements.

(o)
Income tax

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:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o)
Income tax (continued)

•
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 reverse 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, and the Company 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 payment 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 fulfills a 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 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 Company 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 Company to the external
clients and once the advance is received the goods are delivered in less than 30 days.

The Company does not apply applies long term frame contracts with minimal purchase commitment as all purchases are ad-
hoc orders.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(q)
Revenues (continued)

In accordance with IFRS 15, the revenues will be recognized when a customer gets control of the goods. The Company
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 Company
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 Company 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 Company does not provide
transportation services as a standalone service and these are done in connection with the sale of goods to certain
customers.

The Company 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 Company is Free Carrier “FCA” is on over 50% of the Company’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 Company didn’t have any bill-and-hold arrangement concluded.

Revenues from services

Revenue from sales of services is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a
contract with a customer. The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control of a service to a
customer. The
services provided by the Company are recognized monthly once the service is performed. The Company
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 Company’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.

(s)
Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the standalone 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 standalone 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 Company 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 standalone 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)
Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries represent the shares held in these entities.

These investments are initially recorded at the acquisition cost and subsequently at the cost less the accumulated
impairment.

At each date of the financial statements, the Company evaluates whether there are indications of loss of value of
investments in subsidiaries.

These indicators refer to important changes that have occurred in the economic environment in which the respective
entities operate, or important changes in the evolution of the financial position, respectively the financial performance of
the entities in which the Company holds interests.

In the situation where there are indications of impairment, the Company performs an impairment test and calculates the
amount of value losses as the difference between the recoverable amount and the net book value.

The loss of value resulting from the impairment tests represents an expense of the current year and is recognized in the
profit and loss account.

(v)
Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company 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
.

These investments are initially recorded at the acquisition cost and subsequently at the cost less the accumulated
impairment.

At each date of the financial statements, the Company evaluates whether there are indications of loss of value of
investments in associates.

The loss of value resulting from the impairment tests represents an expense of the current year and is recognized in the
profit and loss account.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’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.

the

critical

judgements,

apart

from

those

involving

estimations

(which

are

presented

separately

below),

that
the

management

have

made

in

the

process

of

applying

the

Company’s

accounting

policies

and

that

have

the

most

significant
effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.

Revaluation of tangible assets

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company determine the fair value for impairment
analysis specifically for each item of intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

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 Company applies this to determine whether the asset may be
impaired.

When measuring the fair value of tangible and intangible assets, the Company 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.

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

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.

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.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (continued)

b)
Allowances for trade receivables
(continued)

The average credit period on sales of goods is 40 days as in 2022.

No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables.

The Company 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.

The Company 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 Company’s provision matrix. As the Company’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 Company’s different
customer segments.
